Noted Architect to Come to Omaha
With Bankers Realty Investment Co.

F. w. Fitzpatrick has been engaged
by the Bankers Realty Investment
company as head of its construction
department.
Among architects OF America F. w.
Fitzpatrick is a household name. Born
in Canada, he entered the great west
in the United States many years ago
and has fought his way to the very
front rank OF the architects of Amer
lea. For years he was a member OF
the firm OF Traphagen & Fitzpatrick
in Duluth, the firm that planned so
many of the important buildings in
the cities Of the northwest. In 1896
he was called to the service of the
federal government and for seven
years more he rendered it distin-
guished service, being in charge OF
the governments most important
building operations. In 1904 he re-
signed from the federal government
service to devote his efforts to the
work Of consulting architect, and
during later years he designed and
planned large number of big build
lngs in this country, as well as in
Canada.
Some of the finest buildings in Mon
treal, Toronto and Winnipeg, as we'll
as in our own country, were designed
by Mr.. Fitzpatrick for local archi-
tects.
1t was Mr.. Fitzpatrick who, away
back in the eighties, in cooperation
with Swedish engineer, developed a
scheme for constructing tall, steel or
iron frame buildings. In fact, it is
perhaps true that he was the first to
originate and make possible the plan
upon which present day skyscrapers
are built
With all of his busy life Mr.. Fitz-
patrick has found time in which to do
pioneer work in other movements for
the public good. He was the first
to give impetus to the city beauti-
full" idea for the city OF Washington,
laboring for an appointment by the
president Of the art commission that
later did much good work in the

Aey that in. his opinion all the young
woman needed was good husband
and admitted that he wanted a wife.
County Attorney Magney informed
the young gallant that the only thing
that would prevent him from pushing
the case against Anna would be an
order from the district court. The
county attorneys Office is said to be
preparing to file charge of attempted
murder against the young woman.
Following her arrest she named Lin
coin man as the father of her child.
The child, which is now in the
Child Saving institute, is also in de-
mand. Mr.. and Mrs. Grover Hughes
of Clarinda, Ia, have written the

adopt the baby and give it a good
