The president is naturally disap-
pointed at the failure of his well-meant
efforts to bring about settlement of
the strike, but he is not discouraged.
1t is true he has little faith in the
possibility of legal action, and equally
remote is the likelihood of the en-
ployment of force. Until the state
authorities confess their inability to
cope with the situation, federal force
cannot be eXerted.

SOUTH BEND ROAD
County Board Decides to I'm

Small Pex Bills From the City Will
Probably Be Cut Down if Allow
ed at All.

The county board has decided to go
ahead with the improvement OF the
South Bend road through that village
the present season, and has instructed
Auditor Weaver to advertise for bids
as soon as the town board OF South
Bend puts up bond that it will pay
$4OO toward the expense OF the I'M
proyement. This will be done within
a day or two, and bids will probably
be received at the May meeting OF the
board. This Improvement is greatly
needed, and should and no doubt will
be made in most permanent and safe
manner.
The board has spent considerable
part of the day considering the small
pox bills from the city. These foot
up to $9O1.s0, and include $3.50 fol
care and board of patients at Tour
tellotte hospital, transporting smaI
pox patients, $40, disinfectants and
drugs, $22. 80, physician, DR.. Eielschel
80 days, $500, and pay for guards al
houses under quarantine.
County Attorney Wilson advised the
board that it should be very careful IL
it's scrutiny of the bills, as the law il
not specific in its terms, providing
hat the county shall pay only bills In
Cured in controlling small pox. Bill
incurred in merely caring for patient
are not to be paid by the county. Thu
board should use their Judgment as tt
the various items in the bill. Mr.
Wilson suggested that it would be wei
for the courts to pass on the matter
so that it may be known what bill
counties are liable for.
The board will probably slash dow
the bills to considerable extent.

ADMITS HIS GUILT.
Anton Lang Bound Over For BursuIar
izinu the D0oIey Stors.

Chief Bowen arrested Anton Lang,
a seventeen year old boy, at Easton,
Mimi, yesterday on warrant sworn
out by Chas. J. Macbeth, charging
him with grand larceny in the second
degree. It is charged that he burglar
lied the former Dooley & Co. store
of five pipes and two boxes of cigars
Lang at first denied the charge, but
finally admitted it. He was brought
to Mankato.
This forenoon Lang waived an ex-
animation in the municipal court and
was bound over to the grand jury in
the sum of $500. He expects to furnish
bail.
Lang is young barber, and went te
Easton Friday to take position in 9
shop. He admitted to a Free Press
reporter this morning that he had
stolen three pipes and box of cigars
from the store, and said that he would
admit his theft in court. He still
has the pipes, but smoked the cigars
he said.
Lang is said to have been a member
of the "Boo" gang that thrived sew
eral years ago. He sold one of fth'
pipes to another barber, and this led tt
his being suspected.

LOCAL ARCHITECT EXPLAINS.

Editor Free Press: In commenting
yesterday on the fact that only one
bid was received on the library build
ing the following statement was
made: SIT has been limited that pos
sibly the League of Western Architects
has taken hand in the matter, owing
to the employment of eastern archi-
tects, and used it influence with the
outside contractors not to submit
bids. -
Such a statement is absurd, first be-
cause there is no League of Western
Architects" second because organiza-
tions of architects do not exist for the
purpose of making war on one another,
but to elevate the profession.
There is one organization of archi-
tects which numbers among its mem
bers the best architects. north, south,
east, west. This is the American In
stitute of Architects, with headquarters
at Washington. It's purpose is to ad-
vance the interests of the profession in
the same manner as organizations OF
medical and other professional men.
1t is opposed to the system of archi,
tectural competition so much in vogue,
and which is really at the bottom OF
this whole library muddle. In the
indiscriminate competitions, as gener
ally conducted, the design that prom
Uses the most is usually adopted, and
when it comes to building it is found
in nine cases out of ten that it will
cost more than contemplated. Al
architect should be chosen in the same
way as other professional men, on the
strength of his ability and fitness
Competition may sometimes be de-
sirable, and for such cases the Ameri
can Institute has carefully prepared
program which may be obtained OF
application.
While it is perfectly natural thai
local architects, who, by the way,
bring a good deal of outside business
to the city, should feel SORE becsuse
the best building in the city this yeal
is to be built without their having 6
hand in it at all, it is not likely thai
any architect is responsible, directly
or indirectly, for the absence of bids
from outsiders. 1t is more likely thai
outside contractors, finding that the
building would cost more than the
funds available, concluded that il
would be waste of time to figure on it,
1t is no fun to spend week or more
in close figuring, when the probability
is that one will get nothing in return.
