Statue Of Liberty
The Statue of liberty will celebrate
it? semi-centennial birthday, Octobei
28, 1936, It wuh on October 28, 1886,
that the great bronze monument,
Which wuh the Kift of the French people
and which was erected on its pedestal
in Bedloc's Itdaml in New York
ifarbor, wub unveiled with ceremonies
in which citizens of both nations
through their representatives participated.
1 he gift was proposed by a group
of Frenchmen in about 1872. One
member of the group was Frederic
Auguste liartholdi, noted French
sculptor, who was designated by them
to do the work. |
Committees in .both countries were
soon organized to raise funds for (he
undertaking. in France, 180 cities,
40 general councils, numerous societies,
and thousands of French citizens
raised upwards of $700,000 to
have the statue sculptured and placed
on its pedestal. United States citizens,
with the aid of the New York
World, raised $300,000 to construct
the foundation and pedestal.
Bartholdi early suggested Bedloe's
Island as the site for the statue, a
space which was later set apart for
this purpose by the Act of the U. 3.
Congress, February 22, 1877.
The statue weighs 450,000 pounds,
the bronze alone weighing 200,000
pounds. Forty persons can stand in
the head of the figure and twelve in
the torch. The height from base to
torch is 151 feet, and over 305 feet
from the foundation of the pedestal
to the torch. The distance from the
heel of the figure to the top of the
head is 111 feet.
The head of the statue was exhibited
In 1878 ut the Paris Exhibition,
and a forearm was sent to the centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia in
18it>. The statue was finished in
Paris In 1883, and on July 4, 1884,
it was officially presented by M. De
Eesseps, president of the French Committee,
to Mr. Levi P. Morton, United
States Ambassador to France. In June
1885, the statue was landed at New
York from the French vessel, Isere.
The cornerstone of the pedestal
was laid August 5, 1885, by the Grand
Lodge of New York. The principal
addresses were made by the Grand
Master William A. Brodie, M. Albert
Lefaivre, Minister Plenipotentiary in
charge of the Consulate of France in
New York, and the Deputy Grand
Master Frank R. Lawrence.?Scottish

Women Rest Easier
After Man Executed
; vi~ .
- ftharkoff, Russia, June' 8.?The
women of this region rested easier
in the knowledge that Ivan S.
Malushoff, who slew twenty of their
number in a single year, had been
executed.
Maleshoff. a graduate engineer, was
arrested while he was calmly tidying
his clothes, blood-stained by his most
recent crime. In a Kharkoff hotel,
he made no ett'ort to conceal the murder.
In admitting his multiple crimes,
Maleshoff contended they wero the result
of a peculiar mental twist. The
court held, however, that this pervlslon
did not come under the classification
of insanity, which would have
saved his life. He- was executed yesterday.
The butcherings of Maleshoff during
the 12 months' period brought on a
wide manhunt, Increasing in intensity
with the finding of each victim, usually
in the country regions.
He was suspected when a hotel
porter saw him enter the building
with bloodstains on his shoes.
Miss Roberta ,Mona, Leota and
Mary Keys, quadruplets of Hollis,
Okla., are today celebrating the 20th
anniversary of their birth. They are
finishing their sophomore year at
Baylor university, Waco, Texas, with
high scholarship records.

Two Indian reservations, the l'ino
Kidgc and the Crow in South Dukotu,
are each to have a buffalo range, aecording
to Joint Collier, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs. "The building of
these ranges," ho said, "is only one
of the features of a now wildlife restoration
and conservation program for
Indian reservations in the course of
planning by the Office of Indian Affairs."
Quail, (1st), deer, antelope,
wild turkey, and partridges will be replenished
in those reservations whore
they have been depleted.
These restorations, it 1h stated, are
expected to heighten the morale of
the Indian by giving him the type
of life which is his Inherent racial
heritage. Hut they uro concededly
a poor substitute to the Indian for
the millions of acres of prairie land,
forests, und streams taken from him
In earlier days. Solemn treuties to
protect the hunting grounds of the
Indian were broken by the white man.
