WOMAN'S BUILDING TO
HONOR MRS. DECKER
Plans Made to Erect One at
the Colorado State
University.

Denver, Colo. July 1O.-Plans for the
erection of a woman's building at the
state university as a memorial TO Mrs.
Sarah PIatt Tucker were announced last
night by Mrs. Dewey c. Bailey, presl-
dent of the Denver Woman's club
Only small contributions will be
sought and every woman in the state
will be asked to contribute. 1t Is
expected that $4,000 can be raised for
the memorial
one of the chief reasons for the
determine ton as to the form of the
memorial was that Mrs. Decker al
ways displayed a keen interest in the
women of the university.
It is not probable that Mrs. Deck
ers body viii lie in state in the cap
itOl building. Denver relatives have
received word that Miss Harriet Plat,
Mrs. Decker's daughter, does not wish
the body to lie in state. 1t is planned
that the public be allowed to view
the body at St Johns Episcopal ca
thedraI on Friday between the hours
of Il a. m. and 1 p. m.
