HALL AS JUNK SHOP
FORESEEN BY NOTED SCULPTOR
F. w. RuckstuII Says Work
might as Well Be Placed
in Cellar"
Statue of Gen. Hampton,
South CaroIinian, Unveiled
in "Chamber of Horrors"

Its dim confines cluttered with i'm
properly displayed works of art. Amer
ica's famous Statuary Hall in the Cap
itol seems doomed to descend to the
level of Junk shop" in the opinion
of F. w. Ruckstull, noted sculptor.
whose statue of Gen. Wade Hampton
was added today to the halls collec-
ton.
1T is like placing the work in cell
lar" Mr.. Ruckstull commented as the
imposing statue of the distinguished
South Carolinian was unveiled in what
other critics have termed the Capitol'S
Chamber of Horrors"
Mr.. Ruckstull says the statue of Gen.
Hampton had life" and all that goes
pleted it in his studio in New York
City. Today he sadly saw it lose most
of that in Statuary Hall when the veil
was lifted from it by a delegation of
South Carolina notables. among them
Gov. John j. Richards of South Caro-
lima.
Its as though" the sculptor said, ct
had been requested by fellow sculptor
might have known for so years to
make statue for him and upon visit
ing him year later to have found he
mad set 1t up In his cellar"
Urges Showing for Works.
Mr.. Ruckstull has been advocating
the remodeling of Statuary Hall for
many years to give the good works he
says are on display there something
of showing. 1t isn't the statues, he
declared, that have brought the ap-
pellation of Chamber of Horrors" to
Statuary Hall; it is the lighting and
the general condition of the hall as
it stands now.
The sculptor advocates changing
Statuary Hall so that there will be 48
small alcoves. about 20 feet square and
properly lighted, where each State
could have its two representatives shown
under ideal conditions and where small
busts and pictures might be placed.
Most of those statues" he said,
ARE good ones. There are only or 4
of the So there now I would say are
really bad. The great ma iority of them
are good and there are half a dozen
masterpieces in these, but you'd never
know it.
The States are not to blame. In

Mai. LAWSON E. Atkins, assistant engi-
neer commissioner, and its chairman,
said he had heard the rumors and ex-
pected to open negotiations with those
property owners who are willing to sell
at assessed value.
There is no doubt that some OF the
property owners in the area are anxious
to sell and get out as soon as possible
and re-establish their business in other
locations" said Mai. Atkins: 1T Is these
property owners, believe, who Will sell
at the assessed value"
The committees first negotiations,
Mai. Atkins indicated, will be with the
nrnperty owners who are willing to sell
at the valuation figure of Tax Assessor
William P. Richards who, with Cor

BUSL|NE
PROBE IS ORDERED
Formal Move of Commission
Clears Way for Trial of
Altman Case.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day formally ordered an investigation
into conditions on bus lines east of
the Anacostia River. AS matter Of
fact the investigation has been under
way for some days, members of the
commission having made a personal
investigation of the routes last week.
The order was entered, however, to
enable trial of an existing case re-
lating to the bus line to Bradbury
Heights, D. c., operated by L. l.. Alt
man.
Mr.. Altman recently was granted an
extension of his present rates within
the District until September 80, and
when his case comes up after that date
for final adjudication, a public hearing
probably will be held of the entire Sit
uation east of the Anacostia.
Meanwhile, members of the commits
sions staff will check the length of the
various routes, the rates charged, the
transfer rules, the service given and
schedules maintained, and other mat
tiers. No cost will be assessed against
the companies for this work, but should
it develop that outside assistance must
be employed for the investigation, the
cost of this will be assessed among the
companies affected.

1864 they were invited by Congress to
send two statues each of their most
famous sons to be placed in Statuary
Hall. Later this invitation was brought
forcibly to the attention of the States
by President Lincoln, but 1t was not
until 10 years later that the first statue
was placed in the hail."
Mr.. Ruckstull believes that when the
full quota of the States statuary adorns
the hall it will look like junk en-
porium. He doesn't know how much 1t
will cost the Government to give these
statues the proper display, but says
that $100,000,000 would not be too
much"
Sees Interest in Art Here.
Mr.. Ruckstull is rs years old, and
looks 20 years younger. He says he
foresees a great era coming in this
country when the appreciation of art
will reach the place IT really should
occupy.
All through history, when great ma
tons have become prosperous, they
have found the leisure and means to
indulge their tastes in art, he declares,
and in the next so years he looks for a
great awakening to the beauties OF the
world In the United States.
Besides the statue OF Gen. Hampton
unveiled this morning. Mr.. Ruckstull Is
the sculptor Of John C.. Calhoun OF
South Carolina and of u. M. Rose of
Arkansas in Statuary Hall. He is also
the sculptor of "Solon," an heroic
bronze, at the Library of Congress and
of the colossal granite heads of Frank
lin Goethe and Macaulay on the
facade of the Congressional Library.
Mr.. Ruckstall will leave this evening
for New York. He is a guest at the
Grace Dodge Hotel.

FROM DEEP WATER
Policeman on Outing Saves
Boy, IL, From Death in
Rock Creek.

Although he was nearly drowned in
the effort, Sergt o. r. Reese OF the
U. S. Park Police yesterday rescued
his 12-year-old son, Lester after the
youngster had waded into deep water
at the point where Broad Branch emp
ties into Rock Creek, it became known
today when he made his formal report
on the affair.
Motorists, summoned by Mrs Reese,
assisted Sergt. Reese and the boy from
the water. One of the reScuers said
his brother was drowned in the same
place two years ago. Their names were
not taken.
Sergt. Reese said that water pouring
over a dam from Broad Branch into
Rock Creek has formed a hole feet
deep, which he regards dangerous to
children. He recommended that the
hole be filled or warning signs posted.

family to the park yesterday, and had
permitted the children to wade in the
water. Suddenly his wife called to
him that the boy was drowning.

Cling boy he swan to shore and was

THREE MEN FACING
CONTEMPT CHARGE
Realty Dealer and Assistants
Accused of MiSrepreSenta-
ton in Property Sale.

John B. Showalter, trading as the
Showalter Realty Co., and Alexander
o. Campbell and Luther A. Bennett,
statesmen in his employ, were cited in
contempt of court today by Chief JUS
tice Mccoy on a charge of obstructing
justice made by United States Attorney
Leo A. Rover and Assistant United
States Attorney Neil Burkinshaw. The
men are directed to show cause Thurs
day. July l8. why they should not be
adjudged guilty of criminal contempt.
The petition charges that the re-
spondents while serving as real estate
agents in behalf of Sarah Bennett,
executrix of the estate of John H.
Burke, deliberately suppressed an offer
of $4,000 for premises 1929 G street
northeast, procured a sale by the court
to Campbell, one of the respondents,
at price of $4,000, and later conveyed
the property through Campbell for
Sc 900.
Claimant Files Charges
It is stated in the petition that the
or some of them, repre-
sented to the executrix and her attor-
ney that $4,000 was fair and reason
able price for the property and pro-
cured affidavits to that effect, which
were filed with the court. The petition
recites that the executrix, her attor-
ney and the court were kept in igno-
rance of the negotiations leading to the
off of $4,000 for the property. The
contract for the sale at $4,000, it is
said. was signed January 80. several
weeks before the court was persuaded
to approve the sale at $4,000.

to the court by Attorney Charles H.
Houston, who had been named by the
court as guardian ad Item for the in
FAINT children interested in the estate.
AS the Probate Court has no authority
to punish for criminal contempt, JUS
tice Bailey, then presiding in that
court, referred the matter to the
United States attorney for action.
