of Southland

WINCHESTER, Va, Jan. A.
Gutzon Borglum, celebrated Amerf-
can sculptor, is on his way to At
lanta, Georgia, to start work on the
most stupendous Undertaking in the
history of art.
Upon the solid granite face OF
Stone Mountain. where one of the
fcrcest battles of the civil war was
fought, Borglum will carve the fig
ures OF the Confederate army.
The armed forces will be engraved
in action marching over the north
eastern face of the mountain. This
army will have more than 1000 in
dividual human figures, in addition
to horses and equipment.
Portrait figures of Confederate
leaders, the most prominent of which
will be Gen. Robert f. Lee, will fill
conspicuous places in the granite
picture. Various Southern States
will name leaders of the Confed-
eracy to be carved in the rock.
The figures will be 40 feet high
and will be fashioned to appear as
if they extended back indefinitely
into the rock.
Plans for filming a complete his

Gen. CrOIUder to Cuba
On Fiscal Errund

Adjustment of the moratorium,
which has existed in Cuba for the
past two months and has lust been
extended until February 1, is the
principal errand of Maj. Gen. EnoCh
H. Crowder, judge advocate general,
who will arrive at Havana today
under orders from President Wilson
In spite of the fact that officials
of this government refuse, to go
behind the statement issued at the
White House it became known that
of the factors involved in the Cuban
muddle the financial phase is re-
garded the most important, due to
the fact that the great majority of
Cuba's commercial relations are
with the United States.
American bankers consider. and
have advised the State Department,
that the extension of the morato-
rum is inadvisable. The suspension
of all obligations has brought
about stagnation in business that
has tied up shipping and reduced
commerce to the vanishing point.

Alleged Slayer
Kisses Victims
Widow i'm Court

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Jan. g.
The courtroom was thrown into
wild confusion today when Elwood
B. Wade, on trial, charged with the
murder Of George 4. Mott, forcibly
kissed Mrs. Ethel II. Mott, the mur-
dered mans widow, as he was being
led from the room during a recess.
Mrs. Mott screamed and tainted
Mrs. Wade. the defendants wife,
sitting four feet away, tOppled
from her chair in a swoon.
A deputy sheriff knocked Wade
down. He was carried from the
room while women shrieked and the
crowd was in a turmoil.
As Wade was led back into the
courtroom at the conclusion Of the
recess-this time guarded by two
deputies-save for A slight bruise
on his face where the officer had
struck him, he appeared as unPer-
tUrbed as ever. His poker face
seemed to be a mask that he could
put on at will.

Kissing 4S Girls
May Be Economical
March 4 Program

Members of the Society for the
Promotion of Economical Cere-
monies Senators who would
swing the axe on the Harding
inaugural budget, suddenly went
economy mad yesterday and PO-
IIteIy BattIed each other In ef-
forts to tell in detail the
simplicity attending previous
inauEuraIs.
"Presddent Lincoln celebrated
in n simple fashion by kissing
thIrty-fOur maIdens, one from
each of the then listed Stntes,-
said Reed, of Missouri.
Attention Immediately was
called TO the present full four
dozen states.
"PresIdent-eIectH Harding would
be satisfied with limiting the
ceremony interrupted Senator
Norris.
Senator Harding. not being
present, could not be consulted.
Senator Jones said when he
came to Washington from the
woods in 1889, to view the in
auguratIOn he was enabled to
hear everything while standing
in the crowd with an umbrella
dripping down his back. There
were then no elaborate stands
nor other signs of extravaganza,
he said.

SAYS ID. c. SCHOOLS
DISGRACE NATION

Washington schools are a disgrace
to the nation. and yet Congress is
forced to deny money needed for
their betterment.
Senator Wesley l. Jones. Of Wash
ington, was almost fearful when he
made this statement in the Senate
yesterday. urging economy In con-
neCtion with the inaugural appro-
priation.
The schools of this city do not
compare with schools in Western
States, and yet this is the Capital
City where the schools ought to he
a model, he continued. Items in the
District estimates OF expenses for
the coming fiscal year that are alb
sOlutely essential are being Sacri-
feed, and that is one Of the reasons
why am opposed to an inaugural
ceremony that requires any great
expenditure of government money"

Offer of Big Bend Com
pany for Cheaper Cur
rent Gets Attention.
TRADE BOARD
TO INVESTIGATE
New Project Will Be
Backed to Limit if,
Feasible.

Immediate investigation of a
project being advanced by the Big
Bend Power Company. of Scots
willie, Virginia, to finish electric
current to the District at reason
able rates, considerably below the
prevailing schedule" was author
iedizcd at a meeting of the board
Of directors Of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce last night.
After prolonged debate on the
proposition as submitted by the
power company, which, it was ad-
mitted, might prove to be the
biggest thing which has ever been
brought before the Chamber, Rob
ert y. Harper. president, was in
structed to name a committee of
nine men to look into the Big
Bend project and aid the promoters
to the limit if they find conditions
warrant such cooperation
Would Dame james River.
Explanation is made in the letter
from the Big Bend Company to the
chamber that it is intended to erect
a dam in the James River and con-
struct a hydro-electric plant with
a fall of 40 feet which would develop
10000 horsepower. The letter also
asks for a quantity of data which
would be necessary for the com
pan yto have before proceeding with
its plans.
Chaplin Brown. pointed out that
any proposition which would give
Washington cheaper or better cleo
trio current could not be encoUr-
aged too much and said he be-
lieved that of all matters which
could come up none was more i'm
pOrtant than the Big Bend project
"Of course" Brown continued, II
do not know the merits of the prop
osition but l do believe that it
should be investigated thoroughly
as it would be folly for us to over
look a worthwhile opp, rtunity to
get better service in this direction
when the lights and power were
put out of commission several days
ago for one hour and three minutes
thousands and thousands of dollars
were lost"
Henry H. Classic, chairman Of the
Committee on HarbOrs and Water
ways, also encouraged investigation
of the proposition by the Virginia
Power Company. Classic called at
tentiOn to the fact that the Distrlc,
has been repeatedly 'bluffed and
blocked" in the putting into effect
of the Great Falls power proposition
particularly as regards Lowering 5
plan, and he said he wanted to place
himself on record as being in favor
of appointing a committee of nine
to report to their body further on
the matter.

Senators Obsessed With

tion Asking $4,000 for

Whether the inauguration is to be
one of "Jeffersonian simplicity" or
in keeping with the dignity of the

the battle is over that Senator Knox,
of Pennsylvania, started yesterday
by asking $4,000 for the erection Of
a ceremonial stand and police pro-
lection at the capitol.
Results are expected today when
the resolution of Senator Knox, with
an amendment proposed by Senator
George W. Norris, Of Nebraska, cut

VALERA NOW OUT
Sim Fein Chief viii Not Head
Peace Party.
Arthur Griffith, Founder of
Party, Takes the Lead.

Dublin, Sept. 14.-Eamonn de
Valera will not be a member of the
Irish delegation to the peace confer
ence at Inverness, it was announced
founder of Sim Fem, will head the
new delegation that will discuss terms
with Premier Lloyd George.
Dali Eireann met here to discuss
the latest peace developments and to
choose the personnel of the Sim Fein
peace delegation. After the session,
a statement was given out saying that
the Sim Fein parliamentarians had
approved the following delegation:
Arthur Griffith, founder of the
Sim Fem and foreign minister in the
Dali cabinet, chairman; Michael Col
Inns, finance minister; Robert c. Bar
ton, who has been one of the leading
figures in the preliminary negotia-
tons; canon ]. Duggan, Sim Fem
member of parliament and a leading
figure in the arrangement of the
Irish truce; George Gavan Duffy, who
has acted as representative of the
Sim Fem abroad.
Appointment Causes Surprise.
The Sim Feiners are progressing on
the theory that the Irish peace con-
ference will be held as proposed, altho
it may be delayed somewhat in getting
under way.
The fact that Griffith was chosen
chairman of the Irish delegation in
stead of de Valera, caused surprise IN
some quarters, despite reports current
several days ago that this change
might be made.
Up to the present time de Valera
has carried on for the Sim Fem all
direct negotiations with Premier
Lloyd George.
The Slim Fem statement said Dali
Eireann had given full approval to
the note which de Valera sent to
Lloyd George at the beginning of the
week.
1t was obvious that some sort OF a
hitch had occurred in the negotia-
lions when Dali Eireann assembled.
but it was impossible to say how Sc
rious it was. There was a tense at
mosphere when the parliamentarians
met.
Dispatches from London received
before the parliamentarians met indi-
Gated that Premier Lloyd George was
taking a firm stand upon the condi-
ton that the Sim Feiners must pledge
allegiance to the king as a basis for
the peace parley.
Proposals Too Indefinite.
London, Sept. 14.-Altho no actual
tiations, says the Evening Standard
today, the premier was so dissatisfied
with cannon de Valera's reply that he
asked the couriers sent to Scotland
to return 10 DuDlln 10 convey TO va
lera the premier's views on the points
raised.
I'm view OF the indefinite character
of the Sim Fem proposals. continues
the newspaper, 'the couriers were,
in effect, told to go home and pro-
duce something better. Mr.. de Valera s
note was so full of reservations as to
precipitate all sorts of difficulties
were they not cleared up in advance
OF the full conference.
These reservations also did not ac-
cept Mr.. Lloyd Georges first condi-
