HADLEY IS SUED BY AN ARTIST

Former Governor of Missouri Says Likeness for Capitol Wall Is Too Hard About Mouth. SL Louis, Mo. —While • Governor Hadley was the chief executive of Missouri he had his portrait painted. It was to take its place in the gallery at the state capitol building. Though “Governor” Radley is now "Mr." Hadley and though the portrait has long

since been finished from a technical standpoint, the “sittings” are not yet over. A deposition filed in the Superior court recently made clear this fact. It also showed that the former state executive didn’t like the expression of his own face. The deposition is that of Miss Anita Moore of St Louis and was filed on behalf of Miss Samantha L. Huntley, an artlsL who has brought suit for

11,185 against Colonel A. Houts and three othbr members of the state legislature. who, it is charged, have refused to order the payment of the sum because the portrait was changed after its completion. According to Miss Huntley, who is now in Italy, the former governor before vacating his office ordered her to modify the hard expression in the mouth of the likeness.
