To understand the above II is well
to remember that President Wilson
gave Mr.. Borglum a letter on Janu-

facilities for investigation. the sculp-

and delays in such a way that the
| President transporting asked his
! friend to make a report for him on
the whole subject.
Along about March Is. and again
on March %, the President notified
Mr.. Borglum that he had appointed
the Snowden Marshal commission to
| investigate the whole matter and
then on April Is, the President
specifically repudiated Mr.. Borglum
as an official investigator.
