MANY PLANS FOR THE LIBRARY
Numerous Architects willing to De-
sign the Proposed Build
inE.

At the meeting Of the library board yes
terday afternoon a number Of applications
from firms OF architects in Chicago and
other eastern points anxious to furnish
plans and superintend the building Of the
Carnegie library in this city were read and
much OF the time Of the meeting spent In
discussing this matter. 1t was decided to
meet again Monday evening next, when ali
architects so desiring will be given an op-
portunity to appear before the board and
present their plans.
Rev. Father Smyth said that In his opin-
Ion the most important matter in the build
Ing OF the library was that of securing a
competent architect. He contended that
the board should not be ruled by local
prejudices" and that II necessary it should
not draw the line at a few hundred dollars
so long as a competent architect was Sc
cured.
Mrs. Everest was OF the opinion that the
board ought not to employ any Arm . Of
architects which had not built a library
and that 1t would be only a waste Of time
to consider them. Her remarks were un-
derstood to refer to the local firms of
architects who have asked to be heard be-
fore the board and whom Trustee Stewart
suggested ought at least to be given the
CouTAeSy Vi u nearing ana the privilege OF
submitting their plans.
President Rohrer, who recently visited
the Carnegie library building in Lincoln,
Neb., suggested that the members Of the
board inspect that building before consult
ing with any architects. as they probably
could form a good idea as what would be
needed in this city by such a visit.
The report OF the librarian for March
showed 3.5l6 registered b~ooktakers and
5.2lO books taken during the month. The
number OF books In the circulating library
on April l was 1907. There has been paid
out for rented" books to date sss3.71, and
sSss.06 received, showing a small balance
on the right side of the ledger, The re-
port Of the finance committee showed a
balance Of 81, 1925 in the library fund on
April 1.
The board has under consideration the
ACCESSIBILITY Of sending Mrs. Daley. the
librarian, to the meeting OF the American
Library association at Niagara Falls.

even the slightest intimation of who are
the thieves can be obtained, though the
police are searching diligently. Gold
watches, umbrellas. silverware and in some
instances cut glass was taken by the
housebreakers who, from the twelve places
robbed, got a good haul. The exact amount
Of the loss cannot be ascertained at this
time, though 1t will be considerable. 1t
is believed the work is that of a well-or-
ganiSed gang and that every member Of
1t is safely beyond the city limits. The
taking of cut glass was the one feature
indicating the work might have been that
Of an amateur.

FAIL TO IDENTIFY ACTORS
Rev. Hover Unable to swelr Who Az
pearsd on the Stage Sunday Night.
CONSTABLE BEARD LIKEWISE BEFoGeEo
county Attorney Moves 10 Dismiss
Case and Members of wRrde
Company are Therefore
Discharged.

Assistant County Attorney Hess refused
to let the case Of Charles d.. Herman and
Miss Amt Roberts and four other mem
bers OF the Warde company, which pre-
scented Romeo and Juliet" at the New
theater Sunday night, charged by Rev.
Cornelius Hover with violating the Sab
bath, go before a jury in Judge Carson's
court yesterday morning, and on his mo-
ton was dismissed for lack Of evidence.
Rev. Hover. who filed the information
against the six members of the company
after witnessing the performance, in COM
pany with Rev. James Thomson, pastor
Of the First Congregational church, was
unable, when called upon by Mr.. Hess, to
swear positively that the persons arrested
were the same as portrayed the various
characters. at the New theater Sunday
night. Rev. Thomson was also unable to
swear positively as to the Identification OF
the defendants. They we're willing, how
ever, to testify that they had witnessed
the performance. but said they relied on
Constable Baird, to whom had been en-
trusted the warrants, to Identify the per-
sons arrested as those who took part In
the performance. Constable Baird, how
ever, was not as positive on this point as
he might have been had he had experience
behind the scenes, and he declined to swear
positively that the persons named in the
warrants had participated in the perform
ance. He said that an actor or actress on
the stage presented a very different ap-
pearance to what they did on the street
without their stage makeup.
This being the situation, the assistant
county attorney at once moved to dismiss
the case for lack OF evidence, and the de-
PENDANTS were ordered discharged and their
bondsmen released.
The attorney for the management of the
theater asked hat the costs OF the prose-
cution be taxed against Rev. Hover. but the
court declined to accede to the request and
they will be taxed against the county, az
was done in the case against the members
OF the Younger Brothers Bank Robbers
company. The costs in the latter case, II
is expected. will amount to nearly 500, as
ten members Of the company we're arrested.
Alderman Casper, who was one of the
jurors who brought in a verdict of &C.
quittal in the test case Of Actor Nobelette
Of the Younger Brothers company, is
much incensed over an alleged remark of
one Of the ministers present at the trial,
who Is said to have denounced the Jurors
as "a lot Of buns" Alderman Casper IL
securing evidence with a view to bringing
suit for libel against the pastor In ques-
ton.
Rev. Hover stated after the case against
the members of the warde company had
been dismissed that some other course
would probably be taken to force the clos
Ing OF the Sunday night theater.
