. TONE MOUNTAIN CHALLENGE SSUED Fight Over Title Likely to Be Settled in - Courts. By the Assoctated Press. ATLANTA, Ga. October 4—G. F. Willis, president of the Stone Mountain Monumental Association, issued a state- ment today saying that the organiza- tion was prepared to defend in the courts ita title to Stone Mountains, near here, where it is carving a memorial to the Confederacy. Replving to ‘a statemcnt made last Saturday by Samuel H. Venable, one of the owners of the mountain, Mr. Willis sald that “if it be true, as he (Mr. Venable) claims, that the association has forfeited its title, the place for him to establish his claim is the court- house. The association's attorney’ who are among the ablest in Georgia, have analyzed thoroughly the tion's title and are prepared to defend it, which they are quite confident they will be able to do successfully.” Statement en Costs. Referring to the period of the em- ployment of Augustus Lukeman as seulptor, Mr. Willis' statement contin- ued: “The total cost of these carving opera- tions, from the day they commenced to the date they were suspended, has been $127,872.76, or $57,128.24 less than the cost of operations conducted by Mr. Borglum. (* * * Tt is therefore clear that Mr. Venable must have been mis- jnformed when he asserted that the work produced by Mr. Lukeman has cost $1,421,655.”) Gutzon Borglum was the first sculp- tor at Stone Mountain and was suc- ceeded by Mr. Lukeman. Question of Suspension of Work. 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. Borglum pre- venting the payment to the association of an appropriation made by Fulton County. “We ere formulating plans to resume work on the monument at an early date and within 12 months or less time we expect tc have the first group finished. We have every confidence that the pub- lic will support the association and that 1 ing to resume the work and. keep it going even more rap- 1dly than it was going when temporarily suspended.” OFFERS POSTER PRIZES.

Smith was brought up while Court Clerk Joseph Byrne was conducting the liquor arraignments. Instead of de- manding a Jury trial as told to do by his lawyer, William 8Shea, the man leaded guilty. The officers who arrested im not being in the room, Bailiff Willlam O'Brien was directed to call them, and Smith kept in a seat before the bar. a Two other persons were called and asked for jury trials before Smith re- membered that he should do the same thing.
