On Changes.
NEW YORK, May 13. () Out
zon Horglum, sculptor, in a com
munication published in the New
York Times today, revealed changes
he had made in the text of the 500
wortl history of the United States
written by Calvin Coolldge, to be
inscribed on the granite of Mount
Hushmore in South Dakota.
The Coolldge text which read:
"The Declaration of Independence
tlie eternal right to seek happi
nessself government-rand, thr ill'
vine duty to defend that right at
any sacrifice."
Mr. Borglum, who i: in charge
of the memorial, said he made the
change to identify the historical era
In which the events recorded took
place. He said he wrote "in the
year of our Lord 1776 to mark the
Christian era" and eliminated the
words "Declaration of independ
ence" to convert the text into the
style of historical narrative.

COLLEEN GIVEN
DECREE AFTER
Screen Star Says Producer
Husband Insulted Guests.
' Broke Dates and in Ugly
Mood.
LOS ANGKLKS, May 13. (P)
Colleen Moore of the films, was
granted a decree of divorce In
superior court today from John B.
McCormick, film producer, whom
she charged with cruelty. McCor
mick, who the petite actress mar
ried in August, 1923, did not ap
pear to contest the suit.
Colleen whose legal name Kath
leen Morrison McCormick was
used in court, spent half an hour
on the witness stand testifying to
asserted mental cruelties und hu
miliations suffered from her hus
band. She asserted he repeatedly
insulted her guests, broke social
engagements, and was "in an ugly
mood" during the whole of their
European tour last year.
The Interlocutory decree will
not become final until one year
from today.
The actress wore a sky blue
dress, small black straw hat with a
blue ribbon to match her dress,
and a brown fur coat.
"1 always hesitated to ask
friends to our house," Colleen be
gan her testimony, "because 1
knew what Mr. McCormick would
say to them. He always was mak
ing disparaging remarks ubout
them in their presence, lie would
say they bored him and that they
did not have good taste, lie never
apologized."

Methodist Episcopal General
Conference Orders Cen
sure for Journals Giving
'Unfair Display' to Com
plaints On Bishops.
DALLAS, Tex.. May 13. WV
Tbe reprimand order bv the gen
eral conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church. South, for news
papers which the conference con
sidered gave "unfair display" to
complaints filed against bishops of
the church was delivered to news
papermen today by the committee
named to write It.
The statement follows:
"It Is the sense of this general
conference that we fully, appre
ciate the service the press renders
the church, and we are anxious
to cooperate with the newspapers
in every way possible.
"But we regret that some news
papers have so reported routine
matters touching upon the work
of the conference and some mem
bers of the episcopacy ns to make
the wrong impression on the pub
lic mind regarding the conference's
attitude toward the episcopacy and
other issueB."
The "routine matters' spoken of
presumably were the complaints
filed by the He v. Kembert Smith
of Washington, da., against Ulsh
ops Cannon, Moore, Mouzon and
Dubose, charging undue political
activity In the l'JL'8 election.
Bishops Moore nnd Mouzon were
given a clean slate yesterday by
the episcopacy commute consid
ering the charges.

to' Jacksonville. Then again, a
very valuable part of tho county
records was In an old wood house
in the rear of the courthouse and
both It and the courthouse were
unsafe as a fire hazard, and a new
courthouse was necessary or very
expensive Improvements would
have to be made on the courthouse
then In Jacksonville, und tho coun
ty court had under consideration
tho improvement of tho courthouse
which would cost upwards of
$2(1,000 und It was deemed that
such expense was Inexpedient.
