CARNEGIE LIBRARIES USELESS
Lack of Harmony Between Architects aud
librarians Blamed for the Construc-
tion of Useless Structures.

Chicago, April 16.-Owing to a lack
of harmony between the architects and
the librarians. the Carnegie libraries
scattered throughout the country are
practically worthless, according to
the librarians now in session at the
convention of the Illinois State Library
association, at the University of Chica-
60 In a discussion of the subject of
Library architecture Miss Mary y.
Ahern said:
with the springing up of so many
Carnegie libraries in this state there
has come need for united action be-
tween architects and librarians for the
Improvement of buildings in which the
collections are to be stored.
The local boards. having the erec-
ton of the buildings in charge are
usually unfit to properly perform their
functions, but after merely superficial
view of library buildings in large cities
they go back to the small towns think
ing that they are fully prepared to
erect a perfectly suitable building for
their own particular institution. The
result is that the buildings are most
ly conglomeration of ideas and their
lack of unity not only spoils them
architecturally, but makes them use
less from a practical standpoint"

PLEADER Is LISTENED TO
But His Pleading Is of No Avail and the
Prisoner Is Hanged.


As he was dragged forth City Attor-
ney Decker again interfered and urged
that the negro be given Il trial. For
half an hour he talked, and the mob
listened to him with the negro in its
custody. At one time it seemed that
the city attorney would win, as men,
bers of the mob began dispensing; but
suddenly a rush was made for the spot
where the negro was being held and he
was dragged two blocks from the jail,
a rope fastened around his neck, and
after the rope had been thrown over
the cross bar of a telephone pole a
score of men attempted to pull the
negro from the ground.
As many more seized the negro and
pulled to prevent him being hanged.
For some moments it was a veritable
tug-of-war, but reinforcements on the
free end of the rope proved the strong
er and the negro. despite his protesta-
tions of innocence. was finally swung
into the air and strangled to death,
while shouts of satisfaction went up
from the mob.
The name of the negro was not
known, and he was a stranger in JOp-
lin. As soon as the negro was dead
the mob dispersed in the twilight, and
later the body was cut down and taken
in. charge by the. coroner. There is
