lends SESSION WITH BANQUET
INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS
DIMES AT WILLARD HOTEL.
Speakers Tell Of Progress Of Ameri-
can Art-Toasts to President,
King and Queen.

Art In its American development formed
the theme for several speakers at the
banquet of the Institute of Architects at
the Willard Hotel last night. 1t was the
closing session of the institute. The din
ner was served in the big assembly room
and the setting was appropriately artistic
The tables were laid crosswise of the
room, and the decorations consisted OF
masses Of dollhouse roses and other flow
ers, disposed in artistic groupings of color
and form.
The speakers included Ambassador
Bryce of Great Britain, Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler, president Of Columbia
University. New York; Fred Hopkinson
Smith. artist. engineer. architect and au-
thor; Howard Pyle, illustrator, and Sena-
tor Newlands of Nevada.
Toasts to Rulers.
A toast was drunk to President Roose-
Welt. and then, as a compliment to Am
bassador Bryce. the health of King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandra was pro-
posed.
Ambassador Bryce spoke of the progress
made in American art within the past
decade. saying that American architects
and artists are beginning to lead the
country peculiar opportunities for the dis
play OF individuality and that there is ev-
cry indication that there Is beng developed
here a distinctive school of American ar
chitecture.
President Butler spoke Of the place of
art in the scheme of modern life. His
most striking phrase was:
The man TO whom beauty is a luxury
is unciviIized: the man to whom beauty
is necessity has risen to a higher
plane.
Great Asset of Civilization.
The speaker went on to say that beauty
is one OF the greatest assets OF civiliza-
ton and he urged that all should COM
bine to educate the public as to the
necessity Of beauty in all walks OF life
Senator Newlands said that he is Meth
er an architect nor an artist, but merely
politician trying 10 be a statesman
He spoke of the competition between
beauty and utility in public buildings and
pubic works of all sorts and made a num-
Der of practical suggestions to Sc
curing needful legislation by Congress
He advocated the establishment Of state
bureaus of fine arts.
Fred Hopkinson Smith paid high
tribute to the work of Saint Gaudens and
Stanford White, and Howard Pyle spoke
on the utility of beauty.
The next meeting Of the institute will
be held in Chicago.

Justice T,ldmphr
Charlotte News, 19th.)

. ~-~~~ -
Charlotte News, 19th.)
The doom of Chester Gillette
is sealed On yesterday the court
Of appeals affirmed the supreme
courts decision. No doubt most
OF our readers have forgotten
the details Of the black crime for
which young Gillette must now
pay the penalty. At the time of
the crime the papers were full OF
the horrible story, and opinion
WAS general that the young man
who ruined and murdered his
sweetheart, Grace Brown should
die. But, few people believed he
would pay the price, for Gillette,
like Harry Thaw, was backed by
monay and by Observation-Disclosures.
That justice triumphed in the
face ofthese considerations, there
fore, is significant.
1t will be recalled that Gillette
had taken Mss Brown rowing on
Big Moose Lake. Untutored in
the ways Of the world, this girl,
: who had surrendered to the man
she loved all a woman holds dear,
believing he would keep his word
and marry her, went with BIN on
the trip, hoping consummation
she had waited for would be ef-
fected.
What an ending Of our hopes.
The toy that gave him pleasure
in an hour of passion, had lost
its charm. The fragrance OF the
flower became dissipated, a n d
now it remained for this young
pervert to crush it's tender pet.
ais: The act was done on this fa-
tai trip to the lake. With q ten.
mis- racquet he beat the girl all
most into insensibilitv then flung
her in to the water OF Big Moose,
Once the almost liieless body a
rose to the surface. From lips
that had oft repeated her undy
ing love, came one pitiful and
horrible appeal for succor. An.
other blow and the wretched life
story OF a trusting girl was enn
ed.
The toy thus put out OF t h {
way, young Gillette went about
his way Of heart-breaking, te
meet other girls, as though thu
tragedy OF Big Moose was only
one of the many small incidents
OF a pleasure-busy life.
Such, in brief, is the crime fol
which Chester Gillette has beer
sentenced to the electric chair
The blood OF a good, If woefully
deluded girl, is thus to be aveng'
ed.
The world is far too fnll o
wretches OF his type, and t h
sooner it is freed of this one the
better So often is it the case that
men of this class, with their sub
tie Vaccinations and honeyed de
ceptions wreck the lives of those
whose trust they take advan
tage of, only to 60 free in theil
. course,of vir'tue-stealing and life
wrecking, that it Is good to heal
of one failure to perfect tht
course of justice.
