powered to have these plans so drawn
as to provide for the rebuilding of the

Justice Winslow was nominated by
the supreme court, in accordance with
the terms of the law. The law also
stipulaies that Governor La Toilette
be a member of the commission.

attended to when the commission
meets and effects an organization.

of the special committee, which pre-
pared lengthy report upon theneed OF
new quarters for the supreme court

in the form of a bill for the appoint
ment of a commission of six. five to
be named by the governor. one by the
governor but nominated by the SUI
preme court, and the governor for the
purpose of having charge of the execu-
ton of the plan. While it is true that
the present capitol is old, it is pretty
fair building and there is not an imme-

Washington, Aug. 4-Secretary Root

Governor La Toilette Names Men to Plan
New Statehouse
First Work Quarters for Supreme Court
EBut Comprehensive Task in View
Justices WinsIow and Marshall Also H. w.
ChynoWeth the Madison Members

OiaJe need or a new capitol. Inc plan
provided in the Till cOntemplates such
additions and changes in the present
capital as will fit the present
and the future needs of the state 1t is
not contemplated to make any sudden
change, but to make general plan and
10 work upon it from year to year I'M
til finally a building which will be
beautiful INTELLECTUALLY and will be
commodious enough for the needs of
the state will be erected.
The plan proposed is to do the work
piecemeal. This is the way in which
the work has been done in other states
and which has resulted in such build
ings costing the state large sums OF
money in excess of what the buildings
would cost private individuals. 1t is.
believed here that if the state is going
to erect a new capitol that it should go
about the business in a businesslike
way and should not go about it in the
manner which resulted in so much ex-
travagance in other states, notably IN.
New York and Minnesota.
The commission appointed by the;
governor last night is particularly
strong. The first work is the accom-
mediation of the supreme court and it
is fitting that two members Of the
commission be members of that body.
H. w. ChynOweth is known for a prac-
teal turn of mind and for large legal
ability. Edwin L. Reynolds is the
head of the Allis-C Chalmers company
in Milwaukee and one of the greatest
designers in the world. o. H. Ingram
is a lumberman and successful bust
ness man and John A. Van Cleve is
banker. Three members of the com
mission are residents OF Madison,
fact that is opportune in view Of the
work being situated in this city.
None of the members of the commits
sion are architects. This is doubtless
due to the fact that the plans for the
new capitol are to be open to all the
architects of the state. The members
of the commission will not draw the
plans themselves, but will be called
upon to judge of the superiority of
large number of different plans to be
submitted. For the completion Of the
plans the sum of $4,000 was appro-
priated.

contracts for the government being
made either directly or indirectly
with any member of congress and this
was al the basis of the investigation by
the war department. Col Darlington
of the Inspector generals department
was directed by Secretary Root to
make an investigation of that matter;
which he did, taking testimony and
submitting a report as to the facts in
the case. This report and testimony
was referred 10 Judge Advocate Gen
eral Davis who made an extensive re-
view and submitted an opinion to Sec
rotary Root. General Davis reviews
the case in detail and says that the
case falls within the statute, as is
clearly shown, and suggests that "a de-
mand be made on Littauer Bros. for
the repayment of whatever sum Is
found TO have been paid in consider
alton of the contract of December q,
1898. Secretary Roots endorsement
says in part:
II suppose there is no doubt that a
manufacturing firm, one member or
which happens to be member OF con-
gress, has the right TO manufacture
and sell goods to jobbers who are tilr
ing government contracts. and that
they do not come within the prohibit
ton OF the statute so long as the con-
tract between the firm and the jobber
is a separate and distinct transaction
from the contract between the Jobber
and the government. There appears
to be 70 evidence that in the manufac-
ture of gloves by Littauer Bros. TO be
used in filling government contracts
made by Lyon and others, there was no
violation OF the statutes except in one
case, the contract of Dec. Z, 1898. IL
is not the duty or right of the secre-
tary of war to adjudicate that case or
to determine whether the statute was
or was not violated, except in so far as
it may be necessary for him to decide
what action if any should be taken by
the war department in view of the
facts disclosed. / think that the indi-
cations of interest by the manufacture
ing firm are sufficient to require me to
proceed upon the theory that there is
is prima facie case of violation of the
statute"

Trouble.
Kenosha, Wis, Aug. 4.-Tom White,
an ex-pugilist, now a saloonkeeper,
was arrested on a warrant charging
him with grand larceny, sworn out by
Robert L. Forrest, proprietor of the
Hotel Kenosha. Forrest alleges Tint
White has entered the hotel premises
and carried off goods and liquors,
which Forrest claims he had paid
White for when he purchased the
property.
White submitted to the arrest, but
when the sheriff attempted to search
his residence the demand was refused.
Friends of White believed the demand
for searching unjust and for few mo-
ments it looked as if the officer would
be elected. Finally the doors were
forced open and the search was made.

Great calIing-cardinal Gibbons
Says the Choice Produced Best Inn
preston in Sacred College.

Rome. Aug. 5.-All the members Of
the sacred college declared they were
well satisfied with the election OF
Sarto but the anti-Rampolla members
consider it their special victory.
on the first ballot Sarto had but
four votes but gradually gained unit.
Monday afternoon, when he had 5!
votes, within of the necessary two
thirds. When the result of this ballot
vas announced in the conclave Sarto
was so overcome with emotion that he
could no longer control his feelings
and to the surprise of all he broke
down. declaring such responsibility
and honor were not for him and that
he must refuse it if offered. Tears
rolled down his cheeks and he seemed
firm in his determination to refuse the
dignity.
He was so palpably sincere that con
sternation reigned in the cOnclave
and the cardinals spent the whole
evening and far into the night con-
vincing him that his election was the
will OF providence and that he must
accept. Several times he almost
tainted and had to be revived by the
use of salts. He seemed happy but
broken down even after all the other
candidates had retired and on the
final ballot he looked like a statue OF
resignation. Cardinal Casetta, as
scrutineer, was reading out the vote.
When ~ votes had been recorded for
the patriarch OF Venice, the scrutineer
arose. lifted his red zucchetto saying:
"Habemus pontificem."
But from many sides the cardinal
cried out:

AS the vote approached so, however,
the cardinals. as OF one accord, sur.
rounded the new pontiff and accord

he would accept the pontHcate.
Sarto's lips trembled so he could
hardly articulate, but after a visible
effort he said:
eff this cup cannot pass from me-"
There he paused. but the cardinals
around him insisted il was necessary
for him TO answer yes" or mo"
Thereupon he replied firmly:
Il accept"
Gibbons Grstified.
Cardinal Gibbons said 10 the Asso.
ciated Press that the election of Car
dinal Sarto had produced the best
impression in the entire sacred col
lege. being a man OF such piety. tact
and culture that he was best fitted to
he the head OF the church at the pres
ent time. Cardinal Gibbons hopes the
coronation will take place soon in
order that the foreign cardinals may
be able TO assist. Others think the
coronation may be postponed three
months to a more propitious time.
Beloved by All.

In 1867 he was made parish priest at

Newport, r. L, August 24.-For
the past two days people here have
been staring at a fine looking negro,
fully seven feet tall, who has been
riding about town in an automobile.
Many have been anxious to know
who he was, and the curiosity was
more aroused when he was driven
down to the landing of the New
York Yacht Club to-day and board
ed a launch and was taken out to
one of the yachts in the harbor.
The man was none other than
Joseph Loftin, who has been here
since Sunday, the guest Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Pembroke Jones. Lottin takes
care Of Airlee, Mr.. Jones' place in
North Carolina. After viewing the
yacht race Saturday he came to
Newport on the Narada and yester-
day was shown about Newport.
Mr.. Jones placed an automobile at
his disposal and he was shown the
sights Of the city. He visited in the
Casino and was given an idea Sun
day night of what social life of New
port is like, he being an interested
spectator at the Sunday evening con-
cert at the Casino. Loftin, who is a
well educated negro and who speaks
several languages, was much I'M
pressed with what he saw in New
port, and, although he did not care to
talk for publication, it could not be
seen that he had never seen any
thing as grand before. His declining
to talk was out of consideration for
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones, who he is very
anxious not to offend in the least.
Loftin will witness the race to-
morrow between the Reliance and
Shamrock, after which he will re-
turn to North Carolina. Loftin has
never been north before. His i'm
preston would probably make inter
esting reading.
