Nv III. Associated Press.

~~~SN~-NN~-
ATLANTA, Ga, October 4.-G. F.
willis, president of the stone Mountain
Monumental Association, issued state
ment today saying that the organiza.
ton was prepared to defend tn the
courts its title to Stone. Mountains. near
here, where 1t Is carving memorial to
the Confederacy.
Replying to a statement made last
Saturday by Samuel H. venable, one of
said that 'if 1t be true, as he lMr.
Venable) claims, that the association
has forfeited its title. the place for him
to establish his claim Is in the court
house, The associations attorney who
are among the ablest in Georgia, have
analyzed thoroughly the associations
title and are prepared to defend II,
which they are quite confident they
viii be able to do successfully"
Statement On Costs.
Referring to the period Of the en-
ployment Of Augustus Lukeman as
seuIr1tor. Mr.. willis statement conttn-
ued:
"The total cost Of these carving opera
lions. from the day they commenced to
the date they were suspended, has been
SI27872. rs. or $s7,i2S.24 less than the
cost of operations conducted by Mr..
Rorelum. e It is therefore clear
that Mr.. Venable must have been mis-
informed when he asserted that the
work produced by Mr.. Lukeman mas
cost $1,421. 655."O
Gutzon Borglum was the first sculp-
tor at Stone Mountain and was sue
ceeded by Mr.. Lukeman.

Continuing, the statement said:
'Mr, Venable asserts that everybody
knew and what the association has
publicly: announced. that the work on
the mountain has been suspended, but
he did not say that the suspension was
directly caused by the injunction
brought by friends Of Mr.. Borglunl pre-
venting the payment to the association
of an appropriation made by Fulton
County.
1--WE ere formulating plans to resume
work on the monument at an early date
and within II months or less time we
expect tc have the first group finished.
We have every confidence that the pub
lie will support the association and that
funds will be forthcoming to resume the
work and keep It going even more rap
idly than it was going when temporarily

YOUNG MAN, 81, SAVED FROM
DROWNING BY BOY SCOUT

Don Keogh, Belle PLANE Boy
Scout, demonstrated the practicable
ity of Boy Scout instruction and SER
vice when he essayed the major role
in a thrilling rescue from drowning
of Leo Haus, of Benedict, Fl years
old. Haus was swimming in deep
water in Hilstrom's lake about 80 feet
from shore when he became exhaust
ed. Young Koegh was on the shore,
fully clothed and nursing an injured
arm which he carried in sling, when
he heard the swimmer call for help
and saw him go down. Koegh is a
good swimmer, and did not hesitate
because of his injured arm. He
threw off the sling and plunged into
the water without stopping to remove
his clothes. He swan out with one
armed strokes and held Haus above
water until j. H. Fidelity, who was
fishing nearby, reached them. Fidel-
ty also leaped in with his clothes on,
but managed to arrive in time. The
latter gave Koegh full credit for the
rescue.-Wood Lake News.

HALL TELLS OF TRIP TO
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Attorney James H. Hall of Mar
shall who was a delegate to the ma
tional Republican convention at Kan
sas City, spoke briefly on the con-
vention last Monday before the Civic
and Commerce Association. The con-
vention was Coolidge-dominated
throughout, he said, and the very
mention of the Presidents name was
cause for an ovation. Mr.. Hall de-
clared he learned at the convention
that there was another side of the
fee bill, which he supported, which
probably had some basis. One diff
ficulty in obtaining farm relief for
the Northwest was that forces here
were not united in their stand, he
said, but he found encouragement in
the fact that the party had come west
for its candidates and declared this
was big step forward for the North
west. He also saw more favorable
prospects for this section in Hoover's
declaration that the party must and
would find a solution for the farm
problem, and expressed the belief
that Hoover would do so if he is elect
ed. Mr.. Hall paid tribute to Hon
Frank Murphy of Wheaton for the
inspiring address he made before the
convention in the interest of farm
gislation.-Marshall News Messen-
ger.

ALONG the midway will be found the
Mississippi Ministries" high class
company of twenty-five negro people,
who will present a splendid minstrel
show. Programs change daily. 9th
er attractions include the crazy house,
freak animal show, mechanical city,
palace of illusions, athletic arena,
congress of fat folks, deep sea mus
cum, Rice-Dorman regal python, and
other side shows. This carnival COM
pany comes to New Ulm with high
recommendations. The managers
pride themselves on the fact that
nothing of vulgar or suggestive
nature can be found in any of the
presentations along the midway. All
of the shows are clean, and high class.
The famous Ernie Young Revue,
featuring thirty beautiful young wo-
men, will furnish the grand stand en-
tertainment on every evening of the
Festival. This outdoor opera prom
Uses to be one of the most beautiful
offerings ever made in New Ulm.
The company carries all its own seem
cry, lighting effects, dazzling cos
tunes, etc. They even have a group
of musicians who will work in con-
junction with the 205th Infantry
Band, which will furnish the music
for the act. 1t is understood that the
local band will give several concerts
and there will be some New Ulm
talent filling in the "dead spots" of
the musical revue while costumes are
being changed. The Four Aces, q
made quartette, has also been adver-
tised and this group will be heard
every evening also. Special loud
speaking devices have been installed
so as to enable everyone in the grand
stand to hear plainly.
Secretary Lindemann announces a
huge fireworks display on the even
ing of July 4th only. The Potts Fire

ment is arranging a program which
will be especially for them. There

which cash prizes will be given the
winners. 1t will be a real children's
day and all parents are urged to take
their children to the Festival so they

Nelu U,71 Festival
July, LIST to 18th

New Ulm, the City Beautiful, ex-
tends cordial invitation to residents
of Southern Minnesota to visit this
city during the Festival week, July
1, 2, 3, 4. Secretary William A. Lin
demann of the Brown County Agricul-
tural Society with his committee,
have spent long hours selecting pro-
gram of entertainment which will ap-
peal to everyone, including the kid
dies. All kinds of amusements have
been arranged for and will be waiting
at the Brown County Fair Grounds
to greet all visitors during the four
day period. There will be something
doing every minute and the grand
stand events surpass any program ev-
er offered before.
The management has arranged for
some fast ball games. There will be
two games played Sunday, July LIST,
and Wednesday, July 4th. Wanda
and New Ulm will cross bats for the
long end of the score in the first game
Sunday afternoon, which will be call
ed promptly at one o'clock. Wanda
has strong aggregation, consisting
of all-salaried players and will no
doubt give the New Ulm nine some
real competition. The New Ulm team
has been strengthened by the addition
of new hurler, Grain Dein, of Svea
City, who comes here highly recon-
mended as a twirler. The second
baseball game Sunday afternoon will
be played by the Morton and Sleepy
Eye teams. This will also be speedy
game and will furnish plenty of ex-
element.
On Wednesday afternoon New Ulm
and Gibbon will meet for honors. The
Gibbon nine is one of the leading
teams in the Tomahawk league and
will give the New Ulm team some
close competition. Later in the af-
ternoon Fairfax and Springfield will
be matched. Both teams have
strengthened their aggregations and
Fairfax leads the Tomahawk league.
These contests give promise of being
real baseball displays. Only July 4th
the Orpheus Band of Springfield has
been secured to furnish the music for
the day.
| Some of the fastest horses in the
state have already been secured for
the races which will take place the
same days of the ball games. Purses
of $1,000 with added money have been
offered for the racing events. The
program of Sunday will consist of a
2:19 pace and 2:17 trot. On We'd
nesday there will be a 2:21 pace and
2:15 trot. With a large number
of entries of the horses which have
been making records in this state,
the competition will be keen and the
interest high.
The Rice-Dorman Shows, one of
the largest carnival companies on the
road at this time, will have their
tents and rides up on Saturday. They
will be in operation all day Sunday
and throughout every day and even
ing of the Festival. Eight big rides
including the ferris wheel, merry
mixup, whip, merry-go-round, cater
pillar, sea planes, and others will

EXPLOSION IN FAIRFAX GARAGE

An unusual explosion took place
in Reuben Sells garage last Tuesday
morning at Fairfax. The auto
matte shut-off on the air COM
pressor failed to shut off the
pump when the pressure rose in
the tank, and the tank finally blew
up from the over-pressure. The end
cap of the tank went through the
roof, breaking five rafters in its as
cent, while the cylinder part of it
shot through the solid brick wall,
leaving a hole only large enough to
permit its exit.
