SCULPTORS ARE DIVIDED. Borg- One Group, Backing Borglum, Charges Klan Issue Is Involved. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 27.—Sculp- tors of New York appeared today to bo divided into two camps in thelr opinions of events connected with Gutzon Borglum's dismissal as crea- tor of the Stone Mountain Memorial. William J. Robinson, himself a sculptor of note, said that a move- ment was being organized among Borglum's friends and fellow artists to assure adequate protection of his interests. “If Borglum never does another stroke of work on Stone Mountain he has already to his credit something sreater than the Egyptian pyramids,” sald Mr. Robinson. “But his friends will see that things are put right and stop this crucifixion of genius by a group of little two-by-four men. I was in Atlanta recently and talked to many people, so I know the inside of this affair. “This is largely a Ku Klux Klan matter. Anti-Klan talk in Atlanta is perhaps not the most tactful thing in the world, but Borglum was never a man for tact.” The view of the other camp was expressed by Augustus Lukeman, who sald he considered Borglum' conduct “unmanly and undignified, and that it “brought a reproach on the art of sculpture.” “As a Virginian I resent this charge that these things have HOLLINS RANDOLPH, President of Stone Mountain Me-.

By the Assoclated Press. TONOPAH, Nev., February 27.—Pete Oslund, known as “that lucky Swede,” is back in Tonopah after a long visit to his native Sweden. Some years ago Pete worked as a leaser in the Halifax mine here. He had labored hard and found nothing. But he had a hunch that there was high-grade ore in the Hallfax. He stuck to his hunch, and refused to abandon the lease after his partner had declined to share the cost of one more round of shots. He pawned his watch for the price of a few more sticks of powder. Two days later he opened up rich ore on the 1,000- foot level. It was a veritable jewelry shop. The lease had but 30 days to run, and so Pete stayed on the job night and day. He dug out $28,000, which seemed to him quite a tidy sum. He then re- tired quietly to the homeland for a prolonged rest. Récently word reached him that some of his old pals had made a new gold strike in the Cow Springs range, 30 miles from Tonopah. This gave him another hunch, and he is back on the Nevada desert, testing the power of his luck to repeat said Mr. Lukeman. “Southerners do not let such considgrations enter. I do not regard the destruction of the models and plans as important, be- cause any sculptor with brains al- makes duplicate casts to pro- gainst emergencies.” “Pledged to Quality” Fourteenth St. at New York Ave. Our Annual RUMMAGE SALE of All Odds and Ends Starts Tomorrow at 8 A M.—For Four Hours Only—8 A.M. to 12 Noon A final clearance of broken sizes of our regular lines.

NING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, HIT-AND-RUN CLAIM HELD UNFOUNDED Man Accused of Fatally In- juring Miss Carrie McGill Relieved of Stigma. Information from three eyewitnesses reaching the police vesterday and identifying the man at the wheel of the automobfle which struck and fa- tally Injured Miss Carrie McGill, 65, of 20 Grant place, late Wednesday after- noon, removed from him the stigma of “hit-and-run” motorist. Instead, it was learned he was the one who took her to the hospital. The three witnesses came volun- tarily to the first precinct yesterday and told Capt. Brown they had seen the accident at Ninth gnd H stree and gave him a description of an automobile and operator which tal- lied with facts developed in a later investigation by the police. Story of Witnesses. They told the police that the driver, a young man, did not run away after the accident, but picked up the in- jured woman and evidently took her to the hospital. At Emergency Hos- pital it was learned that a man answering the description given by the eyewitnesses as the one operat- ing the automobile which fatally in- jured Mies McGill had brought her there in his automobile, telling mem- bers of the staff that she had been struck by a machine bearing a Vir- ginia license, with a white man and a colored man with goggles in It. From the numbers of the license tag of the machine reported to the police the ownership of the machine was traced. Boy wuits His Home. The owner was a boy 18 years old living in Mount Pleasapt.

It appears certain, however, that the situation of the entire Kemalist regime has become very precarious in the last few days. The writer learns from reliable sources that in 12 out of 23 Anatollan villayets, the gov- ernment has been forced to proclaim martial law, wile in 6 villayets Kemal's authority is no longer recog- nized. The local authorities, together with the military police and garris have joined the rebels, turning over to them government stores, ammuni- tion and arms Mustapha Kemal Pasha might able to crush the movement, or at least prevent it from spreading over the country, If he had only to deal with the Kurds, but it is feared in the Turkish official quarter of Parls that this rebellion may offer a chance to other discontented elements such as the Conservative Turks, who want the monarchy re-established, and re- liglous elements, who were opposed to abolishing the khalifate, to join the movement. To these reactionary elements must be added some 400,000 exchanged Mohammedans from Greece who were once prosperous in their own homes, but who are now abso- lutely destitute and homeless. = The Angora government, owing to bad organization and lack of funds, has been unable to provide them with new homes, and the little money they brought with them has been spent or has been taken from them by dis- honest officials. It is feared that the present revolu- tion will affect these discontented elements serfously, and if all join to- gether the days of the present regime in Turkey are numbered.
