a plan that the new library building rests, a
fact which can be demonstrated in few words.

be embodied in a question as to whether the
building somehow received him, at the OUTSET
with a certain fitting dignity and then led MIN
on easily and with sense of beauty every
where through a kind of natural sequence OF
corridors and rooms? That is what happens
to the explorer of this building. The portal
itself to begin with, is stately enough, but the
actual entrance doors are comparatively slnali'
and are recessed beneath three great arches
This central motive in the main facade is duly
emphasized and at the same time the architects
have avoided the note Of excessive spaciousness
which would befit only some great exposition

entrance in other words, is precisely in the key
of an institution Of learning.
This quality Of restraint, felt on the threshold,
IS felt throughout The vaulted entrance hall,
from which the staircases rise on either side, is
a work Of massive simplicity, and it may be
noted in passing that the stone piers arches

HAS SEEN HOW THE MEXICAN
REVoLUTioNISTS WERE USED

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1S.-[Editor
Herald: / am glad to see the cause
of the Mexican political prisoners given
a hearing.
When Sarabia was kidnapped from
the Douglas Jail year ago last sum-
mer l was working in the town. He
was arrested on some charge trumped
up by the Mexican consul. thrown into
the Douglas Jail and that evening taken
from the jail by two American officers,
thrust into an automobile and taken
across the line to where the rurales
were waiting. Kosterlitsky, the COM
manding officer of the rurales, had
previously held a conference with the
Mexican consul. In the case of others
whom the Mexican government wanted
to get across the line for political rea-
sons they were charged with opening
letters in q Mexican postoffice. A man
who has travelled extensively in Mexi-
co says that the poorer inhabitants of
the interior are in a state of absolute
slavery.
