The Minnesota project is expected to cost aboiit $4,000,000 and many of the problems which have been en- countered’ there are expected to be similar in nature to those which the North Dakota Capitol Commission will face. Following appointment of the capi- tol commission, members of the 8t. Paul committee offered to give the North Dakota men the benefit of their recent experiences and the in- vitation to visit that city way accept- ed. At present members of the commis- sion are known to feel that two ma- jor problems must be solved before any further steps are taken. The first is the selection of a secre- tary, who will be the executive offi- cer of the commission and upon whose experience and judgment the commissioners will expect to rely on many matters of administration. The second is the selection of an architect, but before this question that far it will first. be meeting 0 tdecide-upon a method of selecting Consider Two Methods Two methods have been ‘nd both are being considered.

The other is to definitely select an archit . im the job and work out the plans and Getails in collaboration with him. In view of the conditions to be met, it is felt by members of the commis- sion that the architectural treatment of the proposed capitol building will largely determine both its usefulness and its appearance. In general, the commission members are agreed that usefulness as well as appearance should be considered, although they have no preconceived ideas as to how this end is to be attained. Although wholly in accord with the provision in the capitol building law which requires the use of North Da- kota labor and materials wherever practicable, the commission is aware of the problem which the limitation regarding materials presents. As a practical matter, it recognizes that the major building material pro- duced in this state is brick and that these brick are among the best in the world. At the same time, they forsee difficulties in obtaining proper ap- pearance if brick are used in so large graphic @ building unless its design and pro- | prison portions lend themselves particularly to this material. Most state capitols are built of stone, marble or granite and the commission recognizes that if brick is to be the principal material in the North Dakota building a departure from the established custom is neces- sary. Will Bar Politics In the selection of a secretary, it is known, members of the commission heve pretty definitely determined among themselves the conditions to be met.

O ehiarieg she had withstood the efforts of Chairman W. ©. Jones and Thomas H. Gannon, of the parole r | husband, First Woman to Cross Victoria Falls Is Coming to America te America t to Ses See Niagara board, to force her to implicate her her stepfather and his brother, in the charge of receiving stolen property on which she was convicted, Mrs. Willard said she thereby had forfeited her chance of getting a parole. “Both Mr. Jones and Mr. Cannon,” she said, “told me that if I preferred to serve my full term, rather than im- plicate my husband, it was all right with them. “when I told them I would not im- plicate him, because he was not guilty, Cannon yelled at me ‘You're a liar’ and pounded the table so that I nearly fell out of my chair in fright. I told him I was not a lar and. that I would go back and serve my full time rather than do what he wanted me to.” After telling her own story, she said Freda Soninski, another woman con- vict could tell “other cruel things” Cannon had said in the parole board meeting. Jo Moran, star convict witness, was recalled ai the instance of Michael L, Igoe, who asked that the steno- records show that “several officials had advised the com- mittee of their belief that Moran is innocent of the charge on which he was senteneed.” Moran renewed his charge of crook- the parole board.
