Seattle, July 3. 1895.
To the Editor: In this mornings issue OF
the Post-Intelligencer l notice several mis-
statements made by the local chapter OF
the American Institute of Architects rela-
tive to my position in connection with the
competition for plans of the Queen Anne
school building and wish you would kind
ly publish the following, that l may not be
judged in wrong light. AS your report
reads lone of the two men took part in
the meeting at which suggestions had been
drawn for the guidance of the board OF
education, and had even made certain rec
concentrations, etc" That man was my
self / was there, and when the object of
the meeting was made clear and the means
by which they proposed to instruct the Sc
attic school board-some of whose men,
bers are better able to Judge the merits OF
a school building plan than the majority
of the members of the chapter-I opposed,
as they were presented, almost every one
OF the suggestions offered. as being entire
ly out of place, for really If they had Of
fered one or two more the board would
actually have been obliged to have out
lined plan of the building for them. AS
I understood the invitation to- architects.
they were TO show what could be done with
their problem, and al what cost.
However, the chapter submitted their in
structions. which were laid aside, but the
time for submitting plans was extended.
thus giving an opportunity for local men,
bers TO enter, with no change in the former
instructions. This was not what was eX-
pected for the chapter at its first meeting.
in considering this competition, or some of
its members felt that their influence over
the board was such that they were sure
that the many suggestions offered would
be adopted The chapter passed resolu-
ton instructing all members not to submit
plans in competition for this building.
without the board would furnish further
instructions: but when 1t was found that
the directors did not propose TO alter their
former invitation, 1t left the chapter in the
position of the little boy who had been cat
ing green apples-"wished he hadn't done
it" and / foV one, owing TO the position
that I took at this first meeting and have
maintained ever since, did not propose to
refrain from entering this competition,
and consequently rendered my resignation
as a member of the Washington State
Chapter of the American Institute OF
Architects, which they have seen fit to ig-
more for reasons known TO themselves
only. Yours truly,
A. r. CHAMBERLIN.

EXPELLED MEMBERS REPLY.


WILCOX and ChamberIin on the Chapter
of Architects Action.
Neither William Fl. Wilcox nor A. b.
Chamberlin seems to take seriously his ex-
pulsion from the Washington Chapter of
Architects. Each of them sent a letter TO
the Post-Intefligenccr yesterday explain
ing his position in regard 10 the plans for
the Queen Anne school building The let
tiers are as follows:
Burke Building. July 3 1875.
To the Editor: In the Post-Intelligencer
OF today's issue is published an article re-
garding the new Queen Anne school build
ing and commenting on the unjust and I'M
fair action of majority of the school
board in the matter: also an attack by the
Chapter of Architects upon myself, be-
cause Of my audacity in accepting the In
yitation OF the board to compete. AS TO
the conduct of the board, desire to say
nothing. but cannot let that august body,
known 10 itself as the Chapter of Archi-
teets sit in judgment. Permit me. there
fore. to state my position: Being actuated
by the modest desire TO obtain business
and a living, l entered the competition Tor
the Queen Anne school building, having
faith enough in the character of the men
composing the board that ii would be con-
Quoted on merit. After my preliminary
sketches for the same were made the
chapter. in sage council assembled. passed
a resolution refusing to give its sanction
for the members to submit plans for the
building. | was not present at the meet
ing but was in the fulness of time honoreo
with a copy of the resolutions by mail.
Having for some time emerged from min
orhood, 1 declined to be dictated to. but
yet thought, in my simplicity, that the
manly thing to do was TO present my res
ignation. whereupon / made my humble
obeisance and asked permission to retire.
The assurance of the artists in this awful
sanhedrim who were active In this pro-
scription is amusing, if not instructive.
and quite worthy of their training in the
study of the fine arts and OF the profession
of architecture. l must be permitted to
exclaim. with the poet. Upon what meat
do our Caesars feed that they have grown
so great?' Respectfully.
WILLIAM Fl. WILCOX.

.The Fencing Master Has Taken Butte
BY storm.

Butte. May 13.-An immense and
enthusiastic audience was present at
Maguire's tonight 10 witness the first
production I'm this city of DeKoven &
Smiths comic opera. -'@The Fencing
Master" and IL was generally pro-
nounced the best comic opera produced
I'm this city since the visit OF the Bos-
tonians. The opera has been a great
success for several seasons in the East,
the reason for which is evident in the
bright and sparkling music. the wit OF
the dialogues, the intelligence and In
terest OF the plot. the beautiful solos
with which the opera abounds, and the
several striking choruses.
OF the individual members OF the ex-
cellent company Dorothy Morton Is, of
course. the central and admired figure
IL was her first appearance in Butte.
and the moment she stepped upon the
stage, attired In a dazzling costume OF
black, which displayed her exquisite
form to perfection. she was a favorfte
with the audience, and when she sang
they went into raptures. Miss Morton
displaced Marie Tempest as prima
donna I'm THE Fencing Master" and
by the change the opera lost nothing.
for Miss Morton Is generally voted a
more shapely than Miss Tempest. and
altogether as bewitching. and with a
voice fully as wide In range and by far
more sweet.
AS for the other principals. very few
comic operas take the road so well
equipped in this respect. Miss Bertha
Bayliss is a beautiful woman and a
sweet singer. Miss Marion Langdon
made herself popular here last season
when she was with the Carleton COM
pany. but I'm The Fencing Master
she has a part quite below her abili-
ties. Miss Louisa Bryant In a former
season sang a role In Wang" Dave
Terrence. who sang the part of For
tunio. has a rich and manly baritone.
and the other voices were equally wen
trained and rich I'm quality. Oscar Cir
ard and A. NJ. Holbrook. the comedians
of the company, are very clever and
amusing. They had much to do and
did IL well.
The chorus was superior to any heard
on Maguire's stage In many seasons.
and the female members of II are ex-
ceedingly handsome and shapely. Tho
costumes are the finest that have been
seen here in a long time. and the
scenery very pretty. The orchestra

ton OF Signor Tomasi. and played well
The opera will be repeated tomorrow

Aspirsnts for the Office Of Chief of
Police Must Wait.
THE MAYOR UNcoNCERNED
II Seems That Tom Waters Has
the Inside Track and His
Election Would Please
the EnglIshmen.

Butte. May 13.-It was announced
that the aldermen would caucus this
afternoon to decide upon a chief Of po-
lice. but they failed to get together and
the caucus viii now probably not be
held until next Wednesday afternoon.
IL is not likely. however. that any ap-
pointment will be made next Wednes-
day night, as Mayor Thompson ex-
poets to leave tomorrow to attend the
Salt Lake conference, so that the exist
ing uncertain and unsettled state Of
Affairs promises to continue for an
other week and over at least. There is
no doubt. however. that when Mayor
Thompson appoints a chief Of police he
will be guided I'm his selection by the
viii OF the caucus. as IL Is understood
that he is decidedly averse to having
any of his appointments knocked out.
The fight for chief OF police Is still
very warm. with Oficer s. ]. Waters.
the present acting chief. and John
Miles. the deputy state mine inspector.
as the principal contestants. Mr.. Waters
Is strongly supported by a number Of
the aldermen and many influential
citizens on account of his experience
and his excellent record as an officer
In the past. and there are indications
that he Will be decided upon as a COM
promise candidate between the En-
glish-Americans and the American
Americans. Being English his ap-
pointment would give better satisfac-
ton than any other outside of their
own ranks.
The only objection that is made to
Johnny Miles Is his lack of experience,
IL he had had any previous experience
In police work he would undoubtedly
secure the appointment. He does not
yet consider himself out of the race,
however. and Is putting up a strong
fight. In the event Of Mr.. Waters Sc
curing the office the English-Americans
will likely be given the assistant city

TO Belt, where he expected to get work
In the mines, and not caring to spend

down 70 the Montana Central yards
ana waited FOR freight going his way.
NO train going out. he concluded to
sleep In box car and save lodging. He
climbed into the car, but had been
there but short time when in came
two men who demanded his money
Sance told them he would give them
all he had. but not pungling quick
enough to suit them. one OF the Williams
pounded him over the head with a
beer bottle and the other choked him.
Sance yelled for the police. and the
two men ran away. but first took all
the frightened Austrians money.
Sance made his way to the freight de-
pot some distance away. The police
were notified and they took him to the
station. where n doctor dressed his
wounds. He had a fearful cut on his
head, which bled very profusely; there
was a long, deep cut over his left eye.

nnger nails. His eye was swollen shut
and he had several other wounds. but
none OF very serious nature.

committed by tramps. Not having an
accurate description of the villains.
they were unable to find any trace OF
them.
