The Meeting Of the State capito!
Commissioners Yesterday
Yesterday afternoon there was q
special meeting of the Capitol Com
missioners to have a conference with
Mr.. Burke whose plans for a new
library building had been accepted
by the Booard.
AS some objections had been made
to the size of the Supreme Judges
rooms Mr.. Burke had been called upon
to submit modification of the original
plans. He agreed to lower the ceiling
six feet and increase the width Of the
building which would give the build
ing considerably more space on the
ground floor.
Mr.. Poujade, upon the invitation
16f the Board. had measured the Shelf
room of the present library and made
careful estimates of the amount u
shelf room required in the new build
iE..
He made very interesting talk and
reported that thousands OF vOlums
We're scattered about the present state
capitol building because there was no
room in the library.

has charge of the Library corroberate
the showing made by Mr.. Pouujade
and suggested that the entire new
building be used for tho law library
The Board agreed with him that il
would require the entire buildina
to accommodate the law books and the
increase in the volumns required II:
outlined in Poujades report.
The question of the site for the
building came up again.
A petition was submitted signel
by over one hundred leading citizens
and taxpayers asking that the build
ing be placed on the main street tina

should be taken into consideration
He made motion to recind the prev
Gus action of the Board with vie,
of placing it on the Main street. Their
was no second and he withdrew tn
motion on the suggestion of the Secr9
tary of State that it might be conside

The occasion for this honor is rather
mysterious. The location Of the Gran

grown here is news to many people.
With all area larger than that of the
state of Rhode Island, it is probable
that a few quarts of the berries could
be picked in Marquette county, few
handfuls Of the fruit could possibly be
secured from the low lands at Presque
isle, within the city limits, but as a
commercial crop, no cranberries are
harvested.

President Morton Of the Equitable
Issues an Appeal to
Policyholders.,

New York, Dec. 18.-An appeal to
the policyholders in all the states of
the union to assist in preventing adj
verse legislation is made by President
Paul Morton Of the Equitable Life As
surance society in a circular letter
which is being sent to policyholders.
You cannot give men character nor
make them honest by preamble, resolu-
ton or enactment.'' says The letter.
d" What the life insurance needs above
everything else is character, honesty
and good business administration.
''There can be no objection to prop
er legislation, safeguarding the bust
ness, but it should be sound and sane.
The society depends upon it's policy
holders to see that there is no unrea-
sonable legislation enacted. -

attention to measures calculated to do
them harm, but under no circumstances
will it be party to any corrupt meth.

. Mr.. Morton expresses the opinion
that the Equitable has no right to con
tribute to political campaign funds
and informs the policyholders that no
such contributions will be made by the
society in the: future. ! > 7TS
He says that in the future the so,
ciety's reserve will be invested in real
estate mortgages or the securities of
other well-established corporations
serving those sections of the country
which produce the premiums.

holders. The American companies are
willing to accept this as applying to

The retroactive rules will compel the
deposit by these companies of large

icyholders.
The American embassy has submitted
a long written protest, asking the
council of state to suppress the objec,
tionable retroactive clause before the
regulations are promulgated. b.

ALMOST LYNCHED.
Two Minneapolis Boys Try Hard As
Amateur Lynchers and Al
most Kill Comrade.

Minneapolis, Aug. 29-Saturday was
Red Indian" day for Donald Gibbons
and Oscar johnson, two Minneapolis
boys residing at 1872 Spruce place.
The boys made up their minds that it
was good season for lynching. Hav-
ing arrived at that important conclu-
sion they looked around for a victim.
Several little boys including Raymond
Carciofini, 1925 Nicolett avenue, were
playing near the would-be hangmen.
Raising an Indian war whoop, young
G obons and johnson, accompanied by
a visitor from the country, swooped
down upon Carciofni, who attempted
to seek safety in flight, but was de-
tanned by the barbs of wire fence
through which he was crawling.
Gibbons and johnson fell up Carcio-
fni and bound him, tying his arms to
his side and securing his hands. Car
ciotini screamed Justify, but no one
came to his assistance
A moment later a moose was slipped
over his head. Then the three In
dams" laid hold of the rope and began
pulling. That had the desired effect
and the cries grew faint. A little la
ter they were lost in an inarticulate
! mean. ~"
Carciofni was rapidly being suffoca.
Gated. Johnson and Gibbons contin-
ued dragging their victim across the
vacant lot needless of his condition.
They were carrying the thing out in
true lynching style When they saw
Rev. w. B. Riley approaching the boys
fed.
| The Carciofini bonds were undone
and he was set at liberty He was
weak from pain and his neck was cut
and bruised by the rope and the mus.
Giles of the neck and back were badly
strained.
