Among these was Arthur Lee, Norwegian-born sculptor who recently contended in Oilman Ernest Whitworth Marland's competition for the Pioneer Woman and whose torso, "Volupte," is lodged in the Metropolitan Museum. Another was Samilla Love Jameson (married name: Heinzmann) who lately completed a bust of Tammany's 100-year-old Grand Sachem John Richard Voorhis (TIME, Aug. 5). She offered to sell the bust to the highest bidder for money to help the cause. Others were Tamara Loeb, Guggenheim prize winner in sculpture...
