where he became suddenly and violent

His tongue aud gums were also un-

Failure.

Property owners hold their titles sub
iect TO the rights of the city TO make

WORK OF FAIRBANKS
IS NOT REJECTED
University Of Utah Is Willing
to Accept Sculptor's
Buffalo" Statue.

That the work of Award Fairbanks,
the gifted young sculptor OF Utah, wll'
receive recognition at home is Indicated
by the Willingness Of the board OF re-
gents of the University Of Utah to ac'
cept the ''Buffalo" statue of the ar.
tist for tho school Is new admlnistra.
ton building, now nearing completion.
The idea OF extending this recognl-
tion TO home talent aud genius origlnat-
cd with the alumni of the class OF l9lU,
who, through class committee ot
which Or. George +. Roberts Is chair
man. pledged the SUN of $500 10 pur-
chase the ''Buffalo' of Mr.. Fairbanks
TO be placed on a pedcstal on the hrst
landing Of the grand stairway OF the
beautiful new building,
At the time this proposal was made;
some weeks ago, objection was entered
upon the ground that no previous pro
vision had been made for such statue
and that the architectural harmony
would be destroyed by its acceptance.
This opinion was advanced by Professor
Edwin G, Evans, member of the fac-
ulty, who also objected to the work on
tho ground that IL was "crudc.
However, the SfBuffalo' OF MI
Fairbanks has received the warm praise
OF CHllucul tuSltlH VI S,p'p'H'N
and the committee of the 1910 class has
persistently urged its claims for proper
recognition of a Utah genius.
DR.. j. L. Kingsbury, president OF the
University of Utah, when questioned
last night concerning the matter, said
1T is mistake to suppose that
we have rejected the statue of Mr..
Fairbanks. The only point at issue
is the question OF its location III the
new building At the time the prof
fer Of the 1910 class was made to
the school, with the proviso that
the statue occupy q designated
place in the building, objection was
made on the ground that it would
not be in harmony with the sur
roundings. This question of loca-
ton is not yet settled, no definite
action having been taken by the
board OF regents, but if the class
chooses to present the statue to the
school, it will he gratefully accept
ed and the question OF its location
will have to be later decided.
