ATLANTA, Ga, February 21.-rFor
more than year the greatest problem
the Stone Mountain Confederate Monu-
mental Association has had to deal with
has been the sculptor, Gutzon Borglum," I"
Hollins n. Randolph, president of the
association, said In statement issued
tonight.
The idea for the work originated with
Mrs. Helen Plano, it continued, and
Borglum was employed to carry out the
idea The association raised $500, 900
of subscriptions and already has paid
out SITS, 900, of which Borglum person
ally has received more than s5o,0oo, Mr..
Randolph said.
'It has been extremely difficult to
get him to do any work at all at the
mountain the statement continued
Notwithstanding the large amounts of
money paid him. His main desire seems
to be to get his name in the newspa-
pers as often as possible.
His contract calls for completion Of
the central group for $500 The as
sociation has paid him approximately 40
per cent of the contract price of this
group and our consulting engineer ad-
vises US that the payments are far In
excess of the work done. Outside of
Gen. Lees head, Borglum has done no
finished carving on the mountain. The
bulk of the work has been roughing out
of granite by the force of men under
supervision of the superintendent of the
work in Borglum's absence"
Borglum threatened to quit once IL
he did not receive $40, 600 before the
following day, the statement said, but
when officials of the association an
nounced a willingness that he do so, he
changed his mind. ~.

moor the Los Angeles.
In the meantime the weather
had turned bad with low clouds
high winds and heavy rains. After
six hours of almost continuous
showers the Los Angeles was so
heavy that even had she been able
to moor to the Patoka immedi-
ately, she would have been un-
able to take on board any gaso.
line or other supplies.
1t was necessary then to decide
whether to remain flying above
Bermuda, waiting for clear, dry
weather to dry and tighten the
ship, or to return to Lakehurst
without mooring.
After consultation the COM
manding officer decided to return
to Lakehurst. as there was no inn
mediate prospect of clear weather.
The bag of mail brought from
Lakehurst was dropped in the
gardens of the Governors resi-
dence, and at 9:o5 am. the Los

D0RMITORY READY
EXCEPT FOR BEDS
Gospel Mission Asks Aid to Give
Men Comfort Not Found
on Floor.

Before long the hallway floor be-
meath the first floor stairs at the
Gospel Mission is going to revert TO
its original status of a hallway floor,
instead of that of sleeping quarters
for the 25 to so men who have been
unable to get better lodging during
the past six months.
The floor has been serving as mat
tresS, springs and bed for these un-
fortunates night after night. A new
aggregation of elbows appeared each
night to dig into the soft pine plank
ing. but as floor and ribs snuggled
together in mutual understanding, it
seemed that each had known the
other for periods longer than the
scant eight hours they spent to-
gether.
Now it appears that all these
things soon are 10 be over. The mis-
sion officials, without consulting the
hallway floor at all, have decided to
afford the nightly overflow of lod-
gers sleeping facilities of a standard
more likely to soothe tired backs
and aching limbs.
New lodgings Due Soon.
The new lodgings soon viii he

obtained to install a suitable heating
system in it.
Now the heating work is about
completed, the rooms have been rem
ovated, and everything is lovely, ex-
cept that there are but few beds
and little or no bed clothing avail
able, to say nothing of rugs, chairs,
etc.
The lack of these small items is
the only thing on which the hallway
floor, next door. pins its hopes Of re-
tanning for some time yet its higher
station in life. OF course, any day
now some nosey person may come
along and provide the necessary beds
and accessories for the new dormi-
tory.
Naturally, the mission folks would
consider such help a very charitable
act.
But the hallway floor will certainly
squeak its vigorous disapproval to
those who pass along where once
were stretched those forms of rest

and citizens chased the fivs members
OF the bandit gang more than 40
miles, engaged in revolver and shot
gun duel with the bandits, wounding
four of them and finally capturing
them at New Carlisle, Ind.
During the progress of the battle
two deputy sheriffs were wounded.
The five were brought to South

The fight between the officers and
citizens on the one side and the five
robbers on the other lasted for more
than three hours and covered a ter
ritory 40 miles long and several miles
in width. The robbers, in their ef-
forts to elude the pursuing officers.
doubled and redoubled their course
several times.
The plunder taken from the Mill

GERS and officials of the bank re-

of them fiourished revolvers. their
confederates scooped up the currency
and securities from the vault. They
backed out of the bank and fed in
an automobile, driving toward South
Bend.
The alarm was quickly spread and
soon q posse in motor cars was in

SHOALS BILL FACES
FIGHT TO GET VOTE
Measure Must Go Back to
Conference If Action Is
Held Out of Order.

Agreement was reached yesterday
by the Senate to vote tomorrow on
the ruling of President Cummins that
the conference report on the Under
wood Muscle Shoals leasing bill was
out of order.
While this action prohibits inter-
minable debate on the appeal of Sena =
tor Underwood, Democrat, Alabama,
from the ruling, Anal disposition of
remains indefinite.
If the ruling is upheld. the meas
ure must go back to conference for
elimination of some disputed points
held by President Cummins to consti-
tute new legislation.
Should the chair be overruled, as
Senator Underwood is confident will
be done, the conference report then
must be voted upon, but hardly before
considerable debate.
Meanwhile the report, which If finally
approved by the Senate, must go to
the House for consideration, was de-
bated for three hours yesterday.
Senator Underwood assailed the rul-
ing against the report, which in turn
was vigorously defended by Senator
Simmons, Democrat, North Carolina
Holds Conferees in Rights.
Senator Underwood contended the
cOnferees were entirely within their
rights in whatever change they made
in the Senate bill because of the wide
latitude allowed by terms of the Ford
leasing bill, passed last session by
the House, and which he declared
technically was before them also.
To the contrary, Senator Simmons
insisted the conferees had made
radical changes" in the bill as
passed by the Senate. These changes
II voted on separately by the Senate
as amendments to the bill would
ingly, he asserted.
Senator Simmons particularly as
sailed the action of the ccnferees in
extending from to 10 years the
period in which the lessons would be
forced to speed up production of
nitrogen to the maximum of 10000
tens annually.
While there is no definite prospect
OF final action by the Senate, man
ayers OF the bill are hopeful that if
the ruling on the report is overruled,
opposition will quickly dissipate.
Senator Edge, Republican, New Jer-
sey, called upon Senator Curtis of
Kansas, the Republican leader, to
seek an agreement by which a vote
would be taken on the report itself,
but the latter insisted this was not
in order Until the Senate had voted
on whether the report was in order.

MARKET MEASURE
DELAYED IN HOUSE
Senate Committee FavorabIy
Reports Farmers Co.
Operative Bill.

While the Senate agriculture COM
mittee favorably reported yesterday
the Haugen bill to create a Federal
cooperative marketing board on the
basis of recommendations of the
Presidents agricultural conference,
the House deferred its choice between
that measure and a substitute offered
by Representative Dickinson, Repub-
lican, Iowa.
Opposition to the Haugen bill by
Representative Garrett of Tennessee,
the Democratic leader, was evidenced
by his speech on the rule 10 bring the
measure up for action yesterday with
three hours debate, and his unsuc-
cessful attempt to have the House
adjourn. The rule was adopted, 263
to AZ. and opponents conceded that
the bill would pass in some form.
Representa- tive Purnell, Republican,
Indiana, temporarily in charge OF the
measure, served notice that he would
have the House sit last night and
vote on 1t, but this was later modi-
fed by Chairman Haugen of the agri-
culture committee. who successfully
moved for adjournment.
Representative Dickinson offered
his substitute in the form of an
amendment after the agricultural
conference was charged by Demo-
Gratis during the debate with being a
political body, the bill described as
another step toward regulation and
centralized authority, and after Re-
publicans had defended the Presi-
dents conference and the H&ugen
measure.
At adjournment Representative
Longworth, the Republican leader.
announced that It would be impossi-
BILE for the House again to consider
the agricultural measure before
Wednesday, when. by special arrange
ment, members will convene an hour
earlier.
Representative Dickinson told the
House that his amendment would
insure advice and assistance for CO.
operative organizations without the
regulatory and directing features of
the Haugen bill. The proposed board,
he said, would be appointed by a
council of co-operatives and COM
prise four members and the Secretary
of Agriculture. The amendment re-
tains the 100000 appropriation car
ried in the Haugen measure.
