amply strong and durable for this masonry,
and our arbitrary dictation was not at once
accepted by the contractor, but was finally
agreed to, after several hours elaboration on
his part.
1t does not seem necessary that 1 should say
anything in this connection about white mar
Bile in comparison with any of our Minnesota
stones, for there can be no comparison made.
To my mind, the whole mater can be properly
summed UP in one sentence. Minnesota pos
SeSses no deposit of white marble, and con-
sequently, our board, in having adopted it
for the exterior of the new capitol, at a cost
many thousand dollars less than the best
stone which Minnesota produces, simply eXer-
cised good business judgment, and purchased
a material infinitely superior to anything
found within our borders, on a business basis,
exactly the same as actuates each one of us
in his private affairs; and in so doing We have
cast no slight upon any Of the products Of
OUT Minnesota quarries.
1t is perhaps. unfortunate that We have as
yet, discovered nothing that at all compares
with this wonderful deposit of white marble
in Georgia within our state, rich as We are
the countless other sources of wealth But is
this a sufficient reason why Minnesota, when
constructing her permanent nome, should not
purchase the best that can be found, at least
within the limits of the United States Cwhose
citizens knows nc marrow state lines in COM
merce), when the better article comes within
the limits of the funds availab-e?. ma
jority of our board thought that it was not.
Rhode Island thought it not when she
new capitol NOW up to the third story and
greatly admired), discarded her famous
Westerly granite and all the other New
England GRANTEES and marbles which have
been famous for a century past. Countless
other parallels could be cited, but they are
unnecessary.
1t is a beautiful strong, substantial and en-
during stone, beyond any sort OF comparison
handsomer than anything in the way Of stone
of any kind which can be found within the
limits of our state. Some Of Us have seen it in
the walls of ST. Luke's hospital in New York
the Coreoran art gallery in Washington. the
new Rhode Island state capitol, ETC., etc, and
we think we know what we are doing in
adopting IL for our own beautiful new buil ding
which should be, when competed, the hand
soonest and best building in the Northwest,
as we intend 10 make it. Notwithstanding
all the unpleasant things that. have been said
vet feel perfectly confident that before the
new capitol Is under roof, an overwhelming
majority of the people Of OUT state will re-
joice that we have had courage enough to
adopt and use it.
Home stone was, and is, proper senti-
menf within reasonable lines, and every mem
Der of our board possesses as much of it as
any other citizen. We are, however, concerned
only in the proper construction Of the new
capitol in accordance with the best judgment
and information we possess We have acted at
all times and on all questions that came before
US upon the theory that this work was com
mitted to our judgment, investigation and
reach from time to time would be assumed by

very effort has been made to arrest
he guilty man. The deputy and two
detectives have repeatedly visited the

camped on his trail until late at night.
They have been unable to locate him,

The police incline to the latter suppo-

MISSING FANNIE RUTHERFORD Is
FOUND AT E1I2LY, MIS-
SOURI,.
THOMAS UNDER ARREST.
VULNERABLE INDICTMENTS FOR
FORGERY AGAINST HIM IN
DIFFERENT CITIES.
TWICE HAS ESCAPED THE LAW.
His Young Wife VIII Probably Be
Held Until Her Mother Is

The following telegram was received

leave tomorrow night to bring him back.
Answer.
The man Thomas, alias Lutes, alias
J. Arthur Thurman, is one of the
smoothest criminals in the country. He
bears a local interest, due to the fact
that Miss Fannie Rutherford, of 2505
Buchanan street northeast, was mar
ried to him last May at Hudson, Wis.
The facts IF the elopement and the sub
sequent vain search OF Mrs. Rutherford

duce her daughter to leave the man.
have been fully exploited in the
GIobe e. Thomas is alleged to have
passed a number of forged checks at
Memphis last March, and then to have
disappeared. He broke jail while
awaiting trial. He is also under forty
one indictments for forgery at Chicago,
where he broke jail in very clever
manner last Christmas for the second
time. HIS criminal career covers a long
period and the police all over the coun-
try have been watching for him. The
last heard of the couple after they left
San Francisco about a month ago, they
were bound for Denver, Col, and then
all trace was lost of them.
Mrs. Rutherford has been almost
heartbroken over her daughters elop-
ment. For a time it was supposed that
the girl was held in some restraint, as
she stated in her last letter that she
would never be able to return home.
Mrs. Rutherford was notified by the
police of the arrest, but the lady could
not be found by a reporter last night
Although the telegram did not so state,
it is supposed that Mrs. Thomas was
under police supervision, and that she
will be held for her mother, if the lat
ter desires that done

Young Girl Charged With Follow

ing the Footsteps of Her Parent.
Mother and daughter locked up in
the same room on the charge of grand
larceny. Such is the situation in
which Mary Boyd and her sixteen
vear-old daughter, Mary, found them
selves last night at the central sta
ton. The daughter is believed 10 have
committed the theft; the mother TO
have secreted the stolen property.
Ten days ago the daughter was en-
gagged as nurse girl at the home OF
Mrs. F. C. Tucker, SGT Third avenue
southeast. Friday night Mrs. FUCKER
missed two handsome diamond rings
the combined value of which is SOU
one of them being an engagement ring.
The girl was not suspected at 1rsl'
and the case was reported to the po-
lice yesterday. Inspectors hoy anu
Lawrence were detailed on the case.
Mary Jr. was taken in hand by the
detectives. and, after a seance IN the
.'sweat" box, the girl admitted that
she had stolen the rings and had
turned them over to her mother.
Accompanied by the girl, inspector
Hoy went to the formers nome on
the third floor of u Sixth street south.
AS the detective was going UP the
stairs he met Mrs. Boyd, and the wom-
an made a dash. She ran down the
stairs with lightning speed and
went into the basement. She was at
tempting to get out by rear en-
trance when the inspector caught her.
When she had returned to her rooms,
she admitted to the officer that she had
received the rings from the girl, and
promised to produce them when she
had been told she would not be arrest
ed. When the daughter came face TO
face with her mother, she said; on!
Mama! I threw the rings over the
bridge into the river" Hereupon the
mother stoutly denied that she had
ever seen the rings and both were
locked up by the detective. The older
woman is believed to have hidden the
jewelry. ,-4--

sCORCRER IS KNOWN.
Police Watching for the Man Who
Killed Anderson.

The police claim to have found a man
on whose information they expect to
arrest the reckless rider who was re-
spOnsible for the accident which caused
the death of August Anderson. This
man is Samuel ]. Linderloff, of 1911
Twenty-ffth street east. He does not
know the name of the rider, but says
that he is on familiar speaking ac-
quaintance with him. He knows that
the man lives in certain section of the
South side, and that he is employed in
an East side manufacturing establish
ment.
Linderloff's story is that he was
about to cross the Tenth avenue south
bridge, at the west end of which the
accident happened, the morning of its
occurrence. He saw a laboring man
hurTying along First street, evidently
on his way TO work. Just as he was
about to pass the approach to the
bridge. Linderloff being still some lit
tie distance away, he was struck by a
wheelman who had come across the
bridge at a great rate of speed.
The witness first move was to see
how badly the injured man was hurt
Then. when he saw the wheelman
about 10 Tide off after recovering from
his spill, he took a good look at him,
