AGAINST ARCHITECT LICENSES.
CAss GILBERT SAYS THAT THE PROPOSED
BILL WOULD FAVOR a LOWER
CLASS OF CRAFTSMEN.

States Custom House. now being erected In Bowl

Of the proposed bin providing for the appointment
Of a State Commission TO license architects, said:
When the subject first brought to my at
tenticn several months ago ! was favorably in
clined toward it, but after further consideration l
am opposed the Bill for the reason that as it is
drawn il would not accomplish the purpose which
its promoters presumably have in view. The law
as proposed would permit certificates 10 be taken
out by carpenters builders and various craftsmen.
and any holder Of such a certificate would rank in
the eyes Of The public as an architect, thereby
lowering the tone of practice rather than raising
il. In other words, such a certificate would pro-
vide 10 protection 10 the public, and would give
false standing TO those who received ii.
''The law would be imperative If the provision
in the bill which reads follows is made part
Of it:
Nothing in the act is TO be construed 70 prevent

architects for building, or 20 prevent students
or employees OF registered architects from acting

The building laws already in existence appear
10 me 10 protect the public if properly enforced,
as I believe they generally are l believe in the
highest standard Of technical training, and that
this standard can better be regulated within the
profession than by legislation. The American
Institute Of Architects has many years been
raising the standard Of the profession, and at the
present time requires a very rigid examination be
fore admitting new members. This creates corp
of practitoners who voluntarily uphold the best
principles Of practice, and their number is con-
stantly increasing. do not believe in legisating

NrICTDE AFTER WRECKING BANK.
CASHIER AT WATHENA KAN. ESCAPED
LYNCHGNG FOR sQUANDERING $4,000
DIRECTORS MAY SUFFER

St Joseph. No Jan. 20 (SpeciaD.-The town
of Wathena. Kan. is in panic over the wreck
ing Of the State Bank. whose cashier, Frank
Harpster blew out his brains and thus escaped
lynching at the hands Of the townspeople, more
than two hundred and fifty Of whom are rem
dered pcnniess by the wildcat speculations of
the cashier with the banks funds. 1t is def
nitely known that Harpster squandered $4,000
OF the peoples money and how much more it
is impossible 20 tell at present The feeling
against the Board OF Directors of the bank is
bitter. and IT only requires leader 10 attempt
10 infict capital punishment upon those who
are morally guilty Of some of the acts of the
cashier, because they paid no attention 10 the
affairs of the institution. but permitted Harp
ster 10 loot il at his will When the statements
for the Bank Commissioner were prepared by
the cashier the directors signed them without
ever institutng inquiry to their correct
ness.
The directors OF the bank, in a statement
issued to-day attempt to defend their action by
saying that they owned only ten out of the
fifty shares Of the bank and that the dead
cashier owned the other forty. They aver it
was not their business TO question the acts OF
the cashier. one of the directors some time
since insisted on making personal examination
of the affairs of the bank before signing the ofIl
cial statement but the cashier bluffed him out
rectors thought the cashier did exactly right.
Bank Commissioner Brdenthal will endeavoT to
get the directors together tomorrow and agree
on a receiver for the institution. Some of the
directors are terror stricken. and it may be diff
cult 10 hold a meeting in the town for fear of
vengeance at the hands of the ruined depOsitors
Harpster squandered nearly the whole of the
banks funds in the bucket shops of this city.
Frederick Dubach an aged German who gave
Harpster his start in life, had only $1,000 in
cash Saturday. and deposited it half hour
before the bank closed forever. Harpster knew
when he received the money that his benefactor
would never get penny of it again. Dubach
at one time was wealthy but Of recent years
he has been unfortunate in investments and the
deposit Of 81, 600 the last money he had in
the world Harpster had conidants He
kept all his dealings to himself. He gave his
wife no intmation Of his crooked dealings
that he was short in his accounts. The day
before his death he told his wife that he
in trouble. but told her nothing further. His

tions, completely did he hide any trace OF

LESSONS OF THE CYCLE SHOW.
,1RCt1AE1CAI, EFFICIENCY HAS BEEN
REACHED NEAR TO PERFECTION.

, ratrosnectfve view of the Cycle Show in Mad
so, S,uare Garden last week brings out clearly
two points that are comforting TO both riders and
the trade These are that there is still Keen IN
taraet in cvciing and that condition OF mechani-
col eficiencv has been reached in wheel cOnstruc-
tton that means the perfection point.
Tba first point is demonstrated by the excellent
attendance of visitors throughout the week ana
the steady Increase in the attendance as the snow
ne,red its end. 1t cannot be said of this show as
of some previous ones. that large proportion OF
the visitors were drawn by sensational or freak eX-
hibits for Notwithstanding the several exhibits OF
motor BICYCLES and automobiles. the exposition was
distnctivey high class of 1901 bicycle modcls,
The other point IS shown by the similarity on the
changes in new century models of the mauufactur-
ers Judging by their models. the manufacturers
seem agreed that the highest type Of bicycle is
that which comprises bevel gearing, cushion frame
and coaster brake. They are also unit on divided
adjustable handebars and on score of improve
ments in mechanical details
An excellent example of the extent Of the i'm
provements in details in 1901 bicycles afforded
by the variety in fork crowns at the show. No
less than sixteen OF these formed a part of as
many different models There a smaller pro
portion of arch crowns than in previous shows.

siderable popularity with makers.
