Borg|um Asks $4,000 More
To Finish Black Hills Monument

Mr.. Borglum said the men work
right through the winter in sub-zero
weather. He said they endured
weather 40 degrees below zero, but
did object" when the temperature
plunged to 60 below.
The dimensions of the work are
so great, Mr.. Borglum said, that
comparisons are difficult Wash
ington's nose, he said, is larger than
the Egyptian sphynx and Wash
ington could easily hold her in his
hand" He visualized the dome of
the Capitol as the size of a skull-cap
for the head of Washington.
Mr. Borglum predicted the job
would take another couple of years.
Work on the hall of records, carved
100 feet long. 80 feet wide and "a
feet high in the heart of the noun
tain, is not yet finished. The men
have gone 10 feet into the noun
tain.
Mr.. Borglum said he had told
Congress that if money is still needed
when the $4,000 he asks for is
gone, he will go to the public"

Wilkie and Roosevelt Fought
Through Three Trials in 1902

Star by a Washington lawyer who
saw mention of it in a paragraph
in the New Yorker magazine. If
you are interested, looE it up in
the yellowed leaves of The Ameri-
can Decisions published in San
Francisco in 1878.
The question was whether a
promissory note indorsed by Roose-
welt and held by Wilkie was usurious.
The judges kept saying it was;
juries dragged their heels and said
it wasn't. The Supreme Court
finally pumped for Roosevelt, Or
dered a third trial, and gave the
juries a verbal spanking-warning
them that their presumption in
determining the law might create
evils that could not be tolerated
in any country"
The State Supreme Court was
itself apparently rent by the issue.
Three justices voted for James 1.
Roosevelt, but two-including the
chief justice-held out for Edward
Wilkie.

Failure Forecast
In Rumania' S Talks
With Bulgaria
Bucharest Seeks to Keep
Areas Cherished for
Sentimental Reasons
BY WALTER DURANTY..

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Aug. l3
N.AN.A).-There seems to be
hitch in the Rumanian-B Bulgarian
negotiations which were expected
to begin today at Craiova. In fact
they were expected to begin last
week.
Both sides apparently are trying
to follow German instructions about
settling their difficulties amicably
by themselves, without hostile press
campaigns or any other form of
mutual annoyance. But there are
two or three points of dispute which
cannot be so easily handled.
For instance, the question of Bal
cic where the late Queen Maries
heart is enshrined. Rumanians-
somewhat wishfully thinking-talk
OF retaining Balcic and a strip of
the coastline northward toward
Constanza to Mangalia. The Bull
garians may be willing to allow the
Rumanians small guard of honor
at the little chapel where the
Queens heart rests in a gold casket.
The second point concerns Silist-
ria, the town just south of the
Danube near the same line as Man
gala, which logically might be in
cluded in the Bulgarian claims ex-
cept for the fact that a Rumanian
medieval prince-hero spoke proudly
of himself in speech to a minister
whom he had then made Lord of
Wallachia and Silistria" because at
that time it was the terminus of
an important caravan route from
Europe.
1t is naturally difficult for Amer
leans to appreciate the passionate
zeal with which Southeastern Eu-
rope considers things that happened
300 or more years ago Only yester-
day the Rumanian press came out
in rash of maps, which might
be headlined "1066 and all that" to
prove that some obscure district in
Pennsylvania did or did not belong
to the Hungarians. OF course the
maps proved it did not in those
dim and distant ages.
These historical "reminiscences are
magic words" in Eastern Europe,
and are taken seriously. I see no
possibility of peaceful agreement
between Rumania and Hungary un-
less the Germans tell both sides
to do as the Germans wish and be
good-or else.

Convinced that "a democracy will
not abandon a monument to ITSELF"
Gutzon Borglum, creator of the
Mount Rushmore National Memo
rial in the Black Hills of South
Dakota, is here to ask Congress
for $4,000 needed to complete the
project.
He said today he already had
talked to some House Appropria-
tions Committee members and
found them very understanding"
The sum he seeks is part of the
100000 planned for in 1888 when
the Mount Rushmore Memorial
Commission was reorganized, he
said. Half the money already has
been spent and the work on the
gigantic monument has been held
up awaiting more funds.
The huge carved heads of Jeffer-
son. Washington and Lincoln are
completed except for polishing, the
sculptor reported, and work on the
head of Theodore Roosevelt will be
finished by midwinter if funds are
available
