THE NEW LIBRARY BUILDING.
The Plans Completed and COnstrHc
tfon to Soon Begin.

The Plans Completed and COnstruc-
tIon to soon Begin.
The Commission in charge of the cree
tton OF the new public library received a
letter from Bernard H. Green superin-
tendent of construction, yesterday morning
regarding the progress that has been made
in the preparation Of the working plans of
the building, and the intentions of the
architects relative to the commencement
of the work OF construction.
Mr.. Green stated that he had recently
returned from New York, where he had
a consultation with Messrs. Ackermann &
Ross. and had seen the plans. He assured
the members OF the Commission that
everything would be in readiness for the
beginning Of the building by January 1.
The architects have already completed one
set OF plans and are now working on
second and more complete working draw
ing.
1t is proposed that model OF the new
building be constructed under the direc-
tion of the architects IA order that they
may have something to observe during the
process of the construction OF the building
to enable them to correct any OF the de-
tails Of the structure that appear out OF
harmony with the plans that have Deen
prepared and approved.
This proposition ia approved by Mr..
Green. although he does not think it will
be necessary to have such model to assist
the builders as the structure is to be so
simple in character that il will not require
such careful copying as If it had been Of
a more ornamental design.
It Is the value such a model would have
as an exhibit that meets the approval OF
Mr. Green. He says that it would arouse
more interest in the building and would
please the portion Of the public who use
the library.
It is expected that the work of clearing
the trees from the Mount Vernon Square
reservation will commence next week, and
the work of laying the foundations of the
new building will soon afterward begin.
1t is thought that it will take about two
weeks to clear the park of all its shrub

Wants to Engage Counsel

The following petition was today
presented to Joe E, Cook, bearing
fourteen names of leading farmers
of Miller county, asking him to de
fend Akin who killed Hale a short
time ago near Buchanan. The
signers obligate themselves to
give such sum as set opposite their
name which ranged from one to
five dollars. The petition reads as
follows:
We, the friends of ]. E. Akin
respectfully ask charitable dona-
tion for the purpose of employing
counsel for the said ]. E. Akin,
who is now in Jail charged with the
killing of one Hale, and is himself
unable to employ such counsel, and
we suggest that Joe E Cook be EN-
ployed as such counsel
Mr.. Cook has not given the petit
TONERS a final answer. Judging by
the names of those on the petition,
we would say that Mr.. Akin has the
right kind of symthizers, and we
hope Mr.. Cook will accept their call
to defend Akin. The case will come
up at the fall term of the Bowie
county Texas district court.
