 As To His Sanity
JRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO. Jan. 3.-The sanity of Francis P. Owings was questioned to- day, but not for the first time.
 Back in the early eighties Owings, an engineer of somewhat daring pro- clivities. capped the climax of his revo- lutionary architectural ideas by pro posing to build a twelve story building. Engineers laughed and his friends tapped their forehead significantly, but he persevered and in time attained financial backing.
 The Bedford building, an altitudinous marvel for that period was the result. By 1893. the year of the Worlds fair, the Masonic Temple, with its nineteen stories. was a marvel to visitors, and Owings was pointed out as the sky scraper king"
 But subsequent time dealt hearshly with him and today, broken in health and purse. he was taken to the psycho- pathic hospital. Tomorrow he win have a hearing.
