borne in mind. It was necessary to pro-
vide certain rooms, occupying definite
areas and spaces, properly arranged The
building or wings containing these rooms
must be built at a very reasonable cost;
but, however, satisfactory the interior
arrangement. however economical the
plan, no scheme could be acceptable to
the authorities or the people of Alabama
unless it preserved with scrupulous care
the essential features of the present
building, and insured also its relative i'm
portance and predominance over any parts
which may be added to it.
While all the features of the old build
ing are not uniformly good. it is very
interesting structure and has about II

has been fortunate in hitting so accurate

ed in the old design

mated, and while the area of the original
building is almost 60 doubled. its in

Opinion Of MIR. Mcklm.
That the scheme receives the unqualified
approval of Mr.. Charles f. McKim (of
McKim, Meade and White). who has just
finished the restoration of the white
house, and who is our greatest Ameri-
can architect, should leave no doubt In
our minds as to the satisfactory char
acter
Mr. Sawyer also wrote the following
letter to Mr.. Lockwood inclosing a let
ter from Mr. McKim:
July p, 1905.
My Dear Mr.. LOCKWOOD beg to en-
close herewith a note from Mr.. McKim
which l hardly think could be improved.

story wings, so that he had them equally
presented to him, without any suggestion
on my part, and | did not tell him at
all which scheme II was your intention
to use until after he had fully expressed
his opinion.
Mr.. McKim suggested the Introduction
of small. fiat domes or lanterns where
the flag poles are over the center of each
wing, in order to 'triangulate' with the
big dome and give some sense of depth
to the wings, he was very complimentary
indeed regarding the little study and said
he thought the building admirable in pro-
portion and design. The dome, of course,
needs study. and he showed me mex

tail at all, which he is using to study

PHILIP SAWYER



And this is the letter of Mr.. McKim:
New York, July 90 1906
Dear Mr.. Sawyer--I have been much in
terested in looking over Mr.. Lockwood s
alternate sketches for the proposed wings
of the capitol building Of the state of
Alabama, which you have been kind
enough to show me.
In response to your request for an ex-
preston of opinion / have no hesitation
in saying that the scheme showing wings
of two stories in height Is, in my judy
ment, in every way, both in proportion
and In relation to the central building,
superior to any scheme In which the
facade represents three features of equal
height, thereby disturbing the command
ing character of the present building.
The history of architecture is full Of
examples OF Ranking orders of lesser
dimensions, and | feel confident that,
should this scheme be carried into exc
cution, the people of Alabama Will have
every cause for congratulation.
1t stands to reason that the wings
should be subordinated to the central
building, and unless they are so design
ed the whole composition will suffer
Yours very truly.
CHARLES f. McSIM.
OF course l add nothing to the
foce of these opinions of these eminent
architects. Being as they are at the very
head OF the profession In this country,
II would seem In all reason that theli
opinions should be conclusive upon the
question.
Mr.. Smith seems in way to have
partially recognized the danger of swamp
ing the old capitol by three-story wings
and to have sought to avoid 1t by set
ting his wings a little back from the
front line of the present building; but
II Is not the opinion Of architects that
this device will accomplish the end in
view. Moreover, such setting back OF the
wings off the axis Of the dome of the
main building would In the opinion OF
architects be serious defect In the per-
spective from the north and the south

point when the wings are added.

HINDU CRITIC
AFTER KlPLINC
Declares That the English
Author Does Not Know the
India He Writes About
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Jan. There has just
arisen a critic bold enough to declare
that Rudyard Kipling doesn't know his
India And what gives his opinion spe-
cial weight is the fact that Rama Chan
dra Rao, who recently contributed
lengthy article on the author of kim
to a London periodical, Is Hindu. He
has no difficulty either in citing nu-
merous instances to prove his conten-
ton that although Kipling has come
in, contact with certain aspects OF In
dian life, true India and the destinies
of it's teeming millions are an unsolved

BRITISH MOTIVE IMPUGNED.
Not Believed to Be Especially Desir-
GUS That War Should End.

PARIS, Jan. AFTER comforting
with Foreign Minister Delcasse lead
ing diplomat said to-day that media
ton in the Japanese-Russian war
would be as unacceptable to Russia
now as 1t would have been to the
North after the defeat at Bull Run.
The belief is growing that Great Bri-
tain's anxiety for mediation Is not en-
tirely disinterested. A British official
recently said:
IF Europe or America does not in
tervene. Japan and Russia will make
their terms of peace without consult
ing Europe or America"
This leads diplomats to say that
Great Britain is less desirous of peace
than to secure voice in the terms of
peace.
BERLIN, Jan. t. The Sud
Deutsche Reichse Korrespondenz,
which maintains close personal rela-
tions with Chancellor Won Bulow, dis
cusses the fall of Port Arthur as ia
cilitating the progress toward peace.
1t thinks that the chivalry shown by
General Nogi in the terms allowed
General Stoessel will probably make
an impression at st. Petersburg which
later will hasten an agreement be-
tween the belilgerents without inter-
mediation, of a third party. It adds
that, while hostilities undoubtedly
will cotinue in Manchuria, the almost
conciliatory termination of the heroic
drama at Port Arthur will make it
easier to resume diplomatic negotia-
tions at a suitable juncture.
