SCULPTOR DESTROYS
MEMORIAL MODELS
Borglun1 Discharged BY Stone
Mountain Body.

Atlanta, Ga. The long standing
fight for control of the Confederate
memorial project on the side of Stone
mountain, near Atlanta, came to a
head when the Stone Mountain Memo
rial association discharged Sculptor
Gutzon Borglum and Borglum retail
ated, it is claimed, by destroying the
models and working plans on which
the memorial had been based.
Warrants were sworn out for the
arrest of Borglum on a charge of ma

announced that it had filed suit for
$4,000 against Borglum for alleged
destruction of the plans and models.
The internal feud in the Stone

He charged extravaganza and exor-

The executive committee announced

Borglum because the work of the
sculptor was not proceeding satisfac-

PRESIDENT EBERT
OF GERMANY DIES
First Executive Succumbs
After Operation for
Appendicitis.

BerIin.-Friedrich Ebert, first presi-
dent Of the German republic, died here
on Saturday morning President Ebert
recently was operated on for appen-
dicitis. Peritonitis developed and his
physicians abandoned hope for his re-
covery.
Friedrich Ebert was born in Heidel-
berg in 1871. The son Of tailor, he
turned to the trades and became a
harness maker.
Later he became interested in poll
tics and took an active part in the ac-
tivities of the Socialist party. He be-
came the editor of Socialist paper
and in 1900 was elected to the Bremen
city council on the Socialist ticket.
In 1912 he was sent to the reichstag
from Bremen and year later was
elected leader of the Socialist party.
When the imperial government col
lapsed and the kaiser and crown prince
fled from the country, Prince Max OF
Baden, who had been appointed regent,
named Deputy Ebert chancellor.
On February II, 1919, he was elected
President of the German republic.
Though he proved too conservative
for many of his former Socialist sup
porters, during the crisis in which he

crushed BOlSheviSm and held the war
ring sections of the young republic to-
gether. President Ebert was essentially
man of the people.
Stepping from the simplicity of a
workingman's life to the glamour of
palaces was not altogether to his lik-
ing, from social point of view. Nor
was his simple. home-lOving wife. Frau
Tulsa Ebert, overwhelmed by the
climb to fame.
Frau Ebert. the daughter Of work
ingman, had always done the family
cooking and dressmaking, and her
daughter was previously clerk in a
store.
Herr Ebert lost two sons in the war
and a third son was in the army up to
the time of his fathers appointment as
chancellor. A fourth son is news
paper man.
AT the time of his election to the
Presidency Herr ebert was known as
a Pan-German, or imperialistic So
cialiSt.
Upon being appointed chancellor and
taking the reins from Prince Maximil-
ian, Herr Ebert assumed a stern COM
mand. He set out to quell the commu-
nistic rebels and did so.
THE new government he said,
shall be a government of the people.
1t must make every effort to secure as
quickly as possible the peace and lib
erty the people have won. The new
government takes charge to preserve
the people from civil war and famine.
and to accomplish their legitimate
claims to authority"
The Independent Socialists, includ-
ing radical element favorable to Boil
shevism and known as Spartacists,
complicated Eberts problem.
The Ebert government underwent
many changes by reason of political,
economic and popular demands. The
first real crisis arose over the question
of accepting the peace treaty.

RAISE APPROVED
Measure to Increase Salaries
and Mail Rates Goes
to President.

Washington.-By SO to IL, the SEN
ate adopted the conference report on
the postal-pay and mail-rate increase
bill. The report has already been
adopted by the house and the bill now
goes to the President. In the opinion
OF senate leaders tie President will
sign 1t, although it falls short of pro-
viding the $6S,O00,OOO increased reve-
nue. needed to meet the increased sal
aries.
The senators who voted against the
adoption Of the conference report were
Borah, Brookhart Howell and Nor
beck, Republicans, and Bruce, Dial.
George, Class, Harrison, Pittman.
Swanson and Underwood. Democrats.
Senator Harrison, as soon as the
conference report was taken up, raised
two minor points of order against the
report, but was overruled. Senator
Norbeck protested against the bill be-
cause Of the increase in parcel post
rates and he and Senator Frazier OF
North Dakota, who spoke favorably Of
the BILL engaged in spirited colloquy.
Senator Norbeck said the bill would
cost the farmers of North Dakota
100000 or 100000 year. Senator
Frazier admitted this, but thought the
increase would be only Is or 20 cents
per person and would hardly be no
ticed.
The Dickinson cooperative market
ing bill, substituted for the Haugen
bill, was passed by the house by vote
of 284 to 95. The measure now. goes
TO the senate. The Haugen bill was
the one reported by the agriculture
committee as the measure carrying out

dents Agricultural conference.
