COOLIDGE TO
REFUSE PLEA
OF MAGRUDER
Wilbur Says Nothing Will
Be Done at Present on
Seaman's Appeal.
SECRETARY is WRATHY
Takes AdmiraHs 0utburSt
on Waste of Money as
Personal Matter.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
limited Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Rear
Admiral Magruder appeared today
to have lost his appeal to continue
as head of the Philadelphia Navy
yard.
His letter, asking President Cool
idge to retain him in the post after
Secretry of War Wilbur had or
dered him detached from it, was
delivered to the chief executive this
forenoon by Wilbur in person.
Wilbur, emerging from his visit
to the President, announced moth
ing would be done about the let
ter 'for ne present"
Magruder Within Rights
The appeal, though it startled by
its uneXpectednesS, need not in
f1uence Wilbur's attitude toward
the fiery admiral, for the latter
was fully within his rights in max
ing it.
Naval officials, however speculated
afresh on what may happen
to Magruder, interpreting Wilbur's
Wednesday statement as forecasting
something still coming" to the
latest dissenter in the Govern
ment's military establishment.
The general tenor of Wilbur's
remarks and his yelled statement
that he would say nothing at this
time about the subsequent stages of
the controversy led naval officers
to predict the conference between
the two later might result
significantly.
Charges Waste of Money
Apparently the aftermath in the
case has become most important.
This consists of Magruder's answers
to Wilbur's QUESTIONABLE as to al
legged errors in tht, magazine article
and interviews the admiral gave to
the press.
The correspondence made public
by the Navy Department reveals
that Magruder was blunt in some of
his replies and that he stands upon
the spirit of his interview, charging
that far too much money was spent
by the Navy Department for results
achieved.
The Navy secretary was caustic in
his statement, and some read sar-
casm in his comment that he now
is more interested in ascertaining
whether the Navy can benefit by
Admiral Magruder's knowledge or
experience in regard to naval organ
iation and naval economy"
Wilbur appeared to take Magrud-
er's attacks personally, saying that
he had attempted in his three years
to effect economies in the Navy De-
partment.

STUMP OPENS
CAMP PA|GN FOR
Senate SEAT
Democratic Nomination for
Post Held by Robinson
Is Sought.
FIRST SPEECH TONIGHT
Bases Hope for Success on
Showing Against Watson
Last Year.

Basing his hope for success on
the showing made last year in the
Senate race against Senator James
E. Watson, Albert Stump, Indian
apolis attorney, today announced
that he would seek the Democratic
nomination for the United States
. Senate seat now held by Senator
Arthur R. Robinson.
His first speech announcing his
candidacy will be made tonight at
Posey County Courthouse, Mt. Ver-
non. Friday noon he will address
the Evansville Shrine Booster Club.
81 am a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for United States
Senator in 1925" Stump declared in
making his decision public today.
Work for Common Good
while my experience as a can
didate in the last campaign has
revealed to me something of what
one must be willing to sacrifice for
the achievement Of an ambition to
serve in a position of public trust, it
has also revealed to me how rich
may be the reward of esteem and
affection one may receive from the
charitable hearts of people every
where, if he strives to achieve that
ambition through efforts unself1shly
calculated to result in the common
good of all.
'I feel how deeply obligated I am
already for the encouragement I
have received from friendly efforts
in my behalf.
"To merit a continuance OF that
esteem and affection on the part of
those who gave me such generous
proof of it in the last campaign,
and to deserve the bestDwal of it
from other, will be an end I mean
to keep constantly in mind not only
in connection with every act during
the campaign, but in connection
with every official act if nominated
and elected"
Native Of Noble County
In a record breaking number of
speeches, all couched in phrases
similar to this announcement,
Stump succeeded in leading the
Democratic ticket in his race against
the veteran Senator Watson.
In the midst of investigation OF
Republican corruption, he talked
only of Jefferson ideals and the like.
Yet he carried the majority of the
congressional districts and was de-
feated by only about 1000 votes,
these being piled up largely in Lake
County.
He, is the second Democrat to de-
clare for office on the 1928 ticket.
Attorney Frank G. Daley announced
that he will seek the governorship.
Evans Woolen, who opposed Robin
son for the short term last year, is
being groomed as the Hoosier entry
in the presidential race.
Stump is native Of Noble
County and graduate of Indiana
and Chicago Universities. He rrac-
ticed law at Marion, entered the
army during the World War apd
emerged with the rank OF captain
He now is practicing law here, is
married and has three children.

President.
BY HAMPTON SMITH, JR.
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Today's
the anniversary OF Theodore Roose-
velts birth and to no one in the
nation does it mean more than to
Vincenzo Miserendino.
Young and impressionable but re-
solved to chisel himself a niche IN
Americas Hall of Fame was Mis-
erendino, immigrant Italian sculp-
tor, when he arrived in New YORK
from the land of his birth.
He cast a critical eye over pos
sible subject matter for his artis-
try, and decided at once to hitch
his wagon to a star. The star was
Theodore Roosevelt, then in COM
mand of the Rough Riders.
Back From Cuba
When Teddy" returned in tri-
iumph from Cuba the young Sculp-
tor was one of the huzzahing thou
sands who acclaimed him.
Miserendino felt an artists ex-
altation. "I knew" he related, 81
had found a subject that would
ever challenge my skill. I knew
too, that for this man my admira-
ton and my love never would
wane."
He has been doing sculptures oi
Roosevelt ever since.
One image after another Of the
man who captured his imagination
has been fashioned by the artist.
Every time he completes new
one, he feels he has come little
closer to his final goal. That goa
is to create statue of Roosevelt
that will be as perfect in sculpturaI
attainment as the Venus de Milo
or the Winged Victory - one that
protrays to the fullest all the
Roosevelt flneness of character
personality, courage, and Vita
force.
And Only Then!
II it ever is achieved, Miseren-
dino will consider his work fin
ished.
Through the years his love fol
Roosevelt has been as a whip anc
spur, ever urging his to loftiel
heights.
"For Roosevelt" said Miseren-
dino, "I have now and have always
had a spiritual love passion
that is all-consuming. They cal
him dead, but for me he lives OF
and on"
1t is a strange circumstance o.
this indealistic friendship that Mis-
erendino never sought to shake
Roosevelt's hand or talk to him.
Never Asked a Pose
ITO see him from afar and tt
hear him was sufficient" explained
the sculptor, simply. 81 never fell
I could ask him to pose for me
did not want to monopolize hi
time even for an instant. 1t wa'
too valuable"
During Roosevelt's life, Miseren.
dino lost no opportunity to see hin
in action. He studied his facia
expressions under divers circum-
stances. On one occasion when the
Colonel delivered an address ir
Madison Square Garden, the sculp-
tor, who was within few feet oi
the orator, studied him so intentlJ
that he was questioned by secret
service officers.
Models for two new Roosevelt
figures have just been completed
by Miserendino as the country pre-
