Two Years Devoted.

Upwards OF two years were devoted
TO the work OF research and investl-
cation on this subject During this
time the members OF the commission
personally visited and inspected the
state buildings of many OF the states.
Thus they formed their first impress
sions OF the character and cost OF the
proposed state building for Utah, Then
they carefully compared ideas and
decided upon d practicable scheme
OF action. a general outline OF the
size. style and substance OF the build
ing was prepared. This. in turn, was
submitted on a competitive basis 10
the very best architects In the coun-
try. with the further specification that
the complete cost OF the proposed
building should not exceed the sum
OF $2.000,0oo,
The design submitted by Richard
I{letting. n prominent and reliable
architect, was eventually selected.
Considerable time was then devoted
TO n minute revision OF the plans and
specifications. In this work the mom-
bers OF the commission were afforded
the great advantage OF having Archi-
tcct klettings counsel and expert
ence. When the plans and speciflca-

MRS. LEVI I. LETTER
DIES VERY SUDDENLY
Famous Washington Society
Leader III Only Two Weeks,
and End Not Expected.

WASHINGTON March 6.-Wa5hing
ton society was shocked TO learn late
this afternoon Of the sudden death Of
apoplexy at noon Of Mrs. Levi z. Lei
ter, one of the most popular social lead
ers Of the 400 and prominent in many
charitable and philanthropic move,
ments.
Mrs. Letter had been i'll only two
weeks, and her family anticipated no
serious results At the time Of her
death, Joseph Letter. her only son, was
busy in the office Of the local gas com
pauy. When it was seen she was dying
he was burriedly summoned, but he ar
rived too late. She WAS dead.
Mrs, Letter was also the mother Of
the late Lady Curzon, wife Of the for
mer viceroy Of India; of the Countess
of Suffolk and Mrs. Colin Campbell,
both Of whom reside in England.
It had not been determined tonight
whether the funeral will take place
here in Washington or in Chicago
where the body may be taken. Only
tentative arrangements have been made
pending the arrival of Mrs. Letter s
daughters. who have been cabled for.
Tho beautiful Letter castle on Du-
pont circle was one Of the show places
Of the national capital. Here some Of
the most notable social functions of
Washington have occurred, Mrs. Letter,
the mistress of millions, spared no ex.
pense in lavish entertainments. She
took n very kindly interest in young
persons and has often been called the
matchmaker Of Washington society
from the romances she has helped
along.
Besides marrying her own daugh-
ters to notables and her son TO the
beautiful Julie Williams, Mrs. Letter
is said TO have had q hand in the ro-
nance Of Representative and Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, the ono between
the Duke dc Chaulnes and Miss Mar
guerite Shonts and has been the fairy
podmother of William Hit in his ef-
forts to gain the hand Of Miss Rather
inc Elkins, who was reported engaged
to the Duke Of Abruzzi.
Mrs. Letter was q noted horticultur-
ist, and her conservntories were her
pride aud diversion. She has written
widely of flower culture and her flower
balls, in honor Of White house debu-
tantes, will live in social annals At
the one in honor Of Alice Roosevelt,
she propagated the blue verbena and
for Miss Helen Taft the famous Helen
pink verbenn.
Besides the verbena. Mrs, Letter
propagnted rare and beautiful type
of double orchid which has thrived in
the Letter conservatories under her
| watcbful care. The garden Of the Lei,
ter home is one of the most attractive
| in Washington. Every spring Mrs.
Letter gave series of flower fotes
which were attended by notnbles from
all over the world.
Recently Mrs. Letter fitted up a
nursery for the two youngsters Of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Letter, and they spent
much OF their time with their dotue
grandmother. Since the death of the
late Mrs John r. MacLeau. Mrs. Letter
has occupied the place Of grande dame

Officials Astonished.

The action that most astonished Off
cial Washington was the president s an
nouncement that Attorney General Nc
Reynolds is the man to whom all fed
eral judgeships must be referred be-
fore appointments will be made Mr..
Wilson was most emphatic in making
this announcement. He held up his
hand deprecatingly when Senators
Brown and Fletcher started to broach
the subject.
81 must ask you gentlemen" he
said, Hnot to talk OF this matter to
me. Say what you have to say to Mr..
McReynolds. -
Almost equally important is the presl-
dents assertion that Mr. Bryan will
deal with the diplomatic appointments.
This practically turns over to Mr.. Bryan
the highest class Of patronage that is
to be dispensed by the government
and raises the position of secretary of
state to the level of political dis
tatorship. Friends of the president are
trying to make themselves believe that
he will modify this order, but they are
much afraid that he will not. and that
Mr.. Bryan will name every diplomat.
On the othe hand, the friends of Bryan
assert that the president is merely
trying to pass along responsibility,
and that while he himself will make
the appointments Bryan viii be
obliged to be target for all the
criticism that is likely to come from
disappointed seekers for high Office

$2,O35,OOO Available.

For the erection of the state capitol
the legislature in 1909 authorized a
bond issue of 100000 and the use of
$4,000 in the public building fund for
the state capitol building. In 1911 the
Legislature authorized bond issue OF
$l,000,000, and made a special appro,
priation of $750,00o for the same pur-
available for the construction Of the
state capitol, or $535,000 in excess of
the $1,500,000 which Mr., Mattson sug-
gests as the maximum cost of the new
state house.
Mr.. Mattson s communication to the
appropriation committee follows:
To the Honorable Members Of the
Joint Appropriation Committee OF
the Tenth Legislature OF the State
of Utah.
Gentlemen-In view OF your present
inability to meet the heavy demands
for appropriations with the available
revenues. / most respectfully beg TO
call your attention to the advisa blity
OF fixing, by statute. a limit OF ST.
500, 900 to the ultimate cost of the
proposed capitol building.

ing the erection OF @ state capitol.
provided by law that the ultimate cost
OF this building should not exceed the
sum of S2.50o. 900. This amount, at
that time. represented n mere ap-
proximation. Since then, however,
your capitol commission has. by dill
gent enterprise and labor, been able
to determine upon an accurate esu-
mate the complete cost Of such
building will be in full keeping with
the demands and dignity OF the state.

Special Cable to The Tribune.

Special Gable TO The Tribune
n GEX1CO CITY, March 6.-Em-
M bassador Wilson told today the
As4 real story Of the cessation of
hostilities on February Is. The em-
bassador sent for Huerta and Diaz TO
come to the embassy with their stats
and lawyers. After FIVE hours of the
hardest kind Of work he left Diaz and
Huerta alone for five minutes. and
when he returned they had made
peace 1t was squad Of American
officers that settled the differences and
made constitutional government pos
sible.
While there is no apparent diminu-
tion in the confidence of the govern
ment TO eventually force paciication of
the country, it is quite evident that the
task is much greater than was at first
believed This is shown by the dis
quieting news from the northern states,
not so much on account Of the rebel
lions in Sonora and Coahuila in them
selves as from what lies behind them.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-03-07
Idea Not New.

The menace Of secession Of the north
is not new idea, but has been con-
sidered by Sonora, chihuahua and Goa
hula for years, and has many
sympathizers, particularly among the
foreign settlers and the mine and
ranch owners, who have foreseen
eventual absorption by the United
States.
That Huerta and his advisors are keen
~ alive TO this menace there can be nc
doubt and the utmost strength OF the
army will be used TO nip the scheme In
the bud IL the people once understand
that the Mexican union Is threatened
