O. A.C. Campaign
Success Assured:

President Says; Other
Large Subscriptions Not
Yet Paid to Swell Total.

The 100000 mark in stock sub
sorirtions was practically reached
Saturday night In the Omaha Athletic
club re.financing campaign.
The annual amount of subscrip-
tions in the auditors hands was $685.,
ESQ This amount however, accord
ing to President Wilcox of the club.
does not include a large number of
subscriptions that have been signed
but not turned over to the auditor. A
few of these subscriptions that are
outstanding are for large amounts 1t
was stated at campaign headquarters.
Officers and directors of the club
are confident of the final success.
They agreed that large amount of
work will be required to finish the
job, but that it will be finished.
I'VE are practically certain now,"
President Wilcox said, that the
Omaha Athletic club will be saved
With subscriptions of practically
500, 900 from less than so per cent of
our membership, we know that we
will obtain signers for the additional
$4,000 which is necessary. large
number of business men who do not
belong to the club have indicated that
they will subscribe to the fund for
preventing the club from closing it's
doors.
This is a slow campaign, but that
doesn't mean that it won't be success
full It's foolish to talk about letting
the club close its doors. Omaha can
not afford to let that happen.
"A few members of the club have
been criticizing the campaign ever
since 1t started but all they can suc-
reed in doing is to delay us in reachs
Ing the goal. We are gradually dis
posing of the critics. One group of
men who had not been in sympathy
with the campaign, on Friday agreed
to cooperate with the majority and
backed up their action by subscribing
a total of 81 1.4O0. This spirit of CO.
operation will prevail throughout the
entire membership.
"The present campaign organiza-
tion will continue to function for the
next few days at least. Later in the
week, there will be a reorganization
of workers to complete the job"
Officers and directors of the club
tss well as the campaign organization,
are convinced that it will be an easy
matter to obtain the necessary new
members for putting the club on
rermanent selfsustaining basis. AL
though the efforts have been centered
upon raising money to discharge the
ready received 1S9 applications for
new members.
President Wilcox believes that the
necessary membership applications
can be obtained in a few days, once
the stock subscriptions go to the
1880 mark.

Borglum Case
May Be Dropped
Requisition Papers Are With
drawn; Indictments May
Be Dropped.

Greensboro. N. c., March 7.-Requi-
sition papers looking to the extradi-
ton to Georgia of Gutzon Borglum,
the sculptor, were withdrawn late to-
day and Borglum decided to remain
here and fight to have all indictments
against him in Georgia nolle pressed.
Habeas corpus proceedings insti-
tuted by Borglum after his arrest
here last Saturday were dismissed by
superior court after representatives
of the state of Georgia had dis
patched requests to Governor Nc
Lean at Raleigh TO return the requisi-
ton papers to Georgia.
Borglum brought habeas corpus
proceedings in the face of request of
the Georgia authorities and hearing
on this action was to have been held
tonight. At the same time Sheriff
Mccurdy OF Decatur, Ga. had with
him here warrants charging larceny.
He said late today, however, that
they would not be served after the po-
sition of Governor Walker Of Georgia
had become known and messages had
been received from the executive
committee of the association stating
that they had resolved never to have
any more dealings" with Borglum.
Difficulties developed between Bor.
glum and the association several
weeks ago after he had said the as.
sociation was without funds to com
plete the memorial. The association
replied that Borglum himself was the
only one holding up work on the me
mortal.
Atlanta, Ca, March 7.-Hollins n.
Randolph, president of the Stone
Mountain Confederate Memorial asso-
citation, said tonight:
There is no doubt whatever that
the association can get a sculptor or
sculptors, and the highest rank, to
carry on the memorial, and steps TO
that end are now In progress.

Elements of Montana.
1t was founded for the purpose of
recording the current history trans
during those pioneer days by
men marvelOusly conscious that great
events were happening around them
and that they might be useful in
preserving historical data which
would be otherwise lost. It's founders
were men of vision and culture whose
presence in the rude Virginia City
Of the morning of Montana's history,
was extraordinary. The moving spir-
it in the organization of the society
was Colonel w. F. Sanders of Helena.
He was assisted by N. P. Langford,
a scout and explorer Of great erudi-
ton and author of one of the earliest,
and at present, the standard history
of Yellowstone National park.
