who died at his home suddenly Mon
day, will be in private at his boy
hood home of Peagham, VT, Thurs
day afternoon.
Only the closest Of friends will at
tend the last rites for Harvey, whose
death removed one of the pictur-
esque characters from American
public and semi-public life.
Colonel Harvey was an editor.
whose facile writings and whose dis
corning study are credited with hav-
ing selected as least two men who
later became presidents of the
United States. One was Woodrow
Wilson and the other was Warren
Harding.
Discovered Wilson
Harvey was credited with the
discovery" of Wilson when the lat
ter still was President of Princeton
University. Later he broke with
Wilson and was a bitter enemy of
the wartime Presidnt in the latter
years of Wilson's administration.
And it was in Colonel Harvey's
room at the Blackstone hotel in
Chicago that Republican leaders
agreed upon Harding as the presi-
Dental candidate in 1920. Hard
ing and Colonel Harvey became close
friends and this led to the appoint
ment of the editor as Ambassador
to the Court of st. James.
In London, Colonel Harvey be-
came a prominent figure.
Ill Several Weeks
After returning from London he
edited the Washington Post for
about a year, continued his other
writings and then dropped from
public life.
Recently Senator George Moses
had urged Harvey to aid the candi-
dacy of Herbert Hoover, but Harvey
always had been opposed to the
former Commerce Secretary and
had been a particularly close friend
of Governor Smith.
Colonel Harvey had been Ill for
several weeks, but his condition vas
not believed serious. He suffered a
heart attack Thursday that caused
some worry but he rallied, only to
suffer a relapse Monday that re-
suited in his death. Mrs. Harvey
and the family physician were with
him when death occurred.

ASKS HIGHER FEES
FOR ARCHITECTS.
Expert Believes Remunera-
tion Should Be in Proportion
I to Artistic Success.

HIGHER fees for architects are advo-
rated by Prof William A. Boring in the
current issue OF the Journal of the
American Institute of Architects.
IN theory the artistic success OF a
design should be rewarded in proper
fion to its merit" says Prof. Boring,
Who is a director Of the Schol Of Archi-
&ecture Of Columbia University. This
seems impossible to evaluate on ouSi-
ness basis. but great architect, like a
great lawyer or surgeon or portrait
painter, could properly charge more

Acknowledged, the beauty Of architec-
tare would increase and the architect
would get his Just reward.
In view Of the great advance Of eX-

WINGED that a revision Of the basic scale
Is now advisable from the present rate

by many architects now.

Rate Adopted in 1901.
This base rate Of 6 per cent was
adopted in about 1901 by the American
Institute of Architects as the proper

ice. In addition to that base rate, there
are other items which vary according 10
special services. locality Of property,
etc. but the rate Of per cent is gen.
orally recognized in America as being a
proper charge for the usual service.
Prof. Boring cites a recent French
decision in favor of the architect as
against the contractor by tribunal Of
commerce in suit for payment for
copies Of plans and specifications fur
niShed by the architect for the execu-
ton Of construction.
The demand Of the architect of one
