Nothing Unethical in' Efforts to Save Client, and . Demands Full Inquiry. Lincoln, , Feb. 20. (Special.) That there has been nothing illegal Or unethical in the acts of J. M. Priest, attorney for AnSon V. Cole, iu his attempts before the courts to save nis client trom the electric chair, is the statement made by Mr. Priest in letters sent to Attorney General Davis and ' Chief Justice Morrissey of the supreme. court. ( Mr; Priest asks that the charges against him and other attorneys con nected with the case be investigated. The letters are similar in character, but the one to the chief justice goes into the matter more fully, and is as follows: ' "I consider the charges, as made by the people of Howard county, of a serious enough nature that I think they ought to be called upon to" cither substantiate them or with draw this petition, and that the par ties responsible for the circulating and filing of this petition, iu case they are not able to substantiate the allegations set out in it, be' pub licly censured and be cited for con tempt of court. "I wish to state that there has been nothing illegal or unethical done by this office 'or allowed to pass through this office, and we do not care to have such a charge hanging over us as sVt forth, in this petition, and as said further in the letter of the attorney general to this honorable cburt, in which he says, "The .matters charged herein are most serious, in my opinion. They cannot and ought not be light ly passed over. They cast such a, stain upon the names of the officers of this court that the attorneys ought to be disbarred or this blot removed from their reputation. "We ask that the attorney general and his associates, as well as the county attorney of Howard county, be included in his investigation, and that they be made a party to this petition."

Head of Omaha, mem ber of the State Capitol ' commis sion, addressed members of the fine arts department of the Lincoln Woman's club Friday afternoon on ."State Capitals and Our Own Cap itol Building." ;-Mr. .Head dis cussed the "why, howi what, where and when" and said in part: -Pick Three Nebraskans. ' "In order that our home talent shall not be overlooked or crowded out. a preliminary competition was held which was restricted to Ne braska men. As a result three Ne braska architects have been chosen. To these three . have been added seven more of the best known and the most successful architects in large monumental work in the whole country and -thes men, 10 in num ber, are about to start on the final competition which, will determine who shall design Nebraska's c.p itol. , . . Mr. Head theny quoted the fol lowing opinion of the commission On the kind of building required: "'While the commission is very anxious not jto handicap the com petitors, nor to limit the possibil ities, it is' nevertheless quite clear on much that it seeks to realize in the finjl result and will certainly be dis appointed should the capitol finally erected prove not to be: "A Working Home." " 'First. A ' practical working home for .the state governmental machinery, adequate not only for the present needs of the great state of Nebraska, but (with provision made or anticipated for further develop ment and growth for a century to come.' " 'Second. An inspiring monu ment worthy of the state for which it stands; a thing of beauty con ceived and fashioned so as to record piOperly and exploit our aspirations and patriotism, past, present and fu ture; intelligently designed, durably and" conscientiously built, and of wot thy materials, all beautifully and fittingly set. surrounded, embellished and adequately furnished.' '"Third. The whole accomplished without friction, scandal, extrava gance or waste. A work calculated to inspire pride in the heart ot every Ncbraskau.'' Wants "Roomy" Site. " 'The question 'where?' is unpleas ant to me because the capitol com mission at the present moment has veFy little to doVwith it. It takes the state legislature to decide that question and it has said that it must be cm the present -site of the old capitol, which, in my opinion, is entirely inadequate in size. When I thinfc how much more effective, in spiring and beautiful this monument would be set in a great, splendid tra-t of land, far enough away from unsightly environments to be sure that it would never have disagree able surroundings, then I can't but wish that I were the legislature for a few minutes and had this question 'where?' put up to me for a final decision. , To Be Masterpiece. "Acting under the advice of that "Please take it home to yourselves to see that this great problem is not underestimated; to see that it is not hurried; to see, that it Is not belittled by lack of 'consideration. In other words, take your part in making sure that Nebraska avails itself of this great opportunity. If' we all do our part by pulling to gether, who shall say that there may not come into being a' great archi tectural masterpiece right here in Nebraska." t May Study Power Farming Lincoln, Feb. 20.
