Nov. 2 Six months at hard labor and deportation thereafter was the sentence imposed In Bow street police court today upon Erki Weltheim, the "mystery man," who was arraigned in this court a week ago today, charged by the government with acting as an intermediary between members of revolutionary circles in Great Britain and Russian revolutionists. Neither the name nor the nationality of the prisoner was made known at the time of his arraignment. It was upon Weltheim that the gov ernment s attorney announced that a letter from Sylvia Pankhurst to Nikolai Lenine, the premier of soviet Rus sia, had been found, in which Miss Pankhuurst was alleged to have written: "The situation is most acute; not ready for a revolution yet." Miss Pankhurst has since been sentenced to six months imprisonment on charges of having published seditious literature designed to affect the navy in the newspaper "The Workers' Dreadnaught," one of the articles in which was entitled "Discontent on the Lower Deck." When the "mystery man" was first arraigned he declined to answer questions and was remanded for a week.

STATE HOUSE FORMS PRARIE LIGHT HOUSE AT LINCOLN, NEB. The new state house, or capitol, of Nebraska, at Lincoln, ( known to the country at large chiefly as the home town of Mr. Bryan), has furnished an opportunity for a radical departure the beginning, perhaps, of a new Echool of architecture, with a sort of high visibility as its motive a 400foot tower crowned by a glittering dome visible 50 miles away across the flat country upon which it stands. The tentative plan for the Nebraska capitol, says a writer for the New York Times, has been chosen from an invited competition of ten artists, at least eight of them eminent, with three not less prominent architects from New York, Washington and San Francisco acting as judges. Each design was presented at an elevation, lest the fascination of perspective draftsmanship lure the judges away from the clean-Cut issue of a stark architectural idea. It was a delib erate judgment of Paris, with all the frills removed. Goodhue Is Architect. Bertram G. Goodhue, architect for the Gothic and Hispanic, was adjudged tho winner, for it was the distinctive feature of this competition that the architect was not to be tied down to any without reservations rendering of his own original design. All that will be required of him is to create in , the final building the same spirit that imbued his first sketch. If Nebraska's state capitol bo not as beautiful as if a more precedented idea had been chosen, that's Nebraska's lookout. At least it will be different from other state capitals. The building, as at present planned, covers a big square of ground area, with its chief architectural featuie that massive tower which will be built so it can be used for library stock rooms and' for the filing of state documents. Its work in life is indicated by its architectural exterior, as every real art should declare its purpose, be it a hand-tooled book or a church facade. For the brief hour of folding bed art is over. Topping the tower is a golden dome, which shall gleam like a lighthouse at sea, across the flat country. The main body of the building seems hardly three stories high, al though none may tell what rooms UeJ bidden in a cornice with apparently no windows to tell the tale. In fact, most of the lighting for this building will come from four inside courts. The outside windows are small and few for two reasons. Partly the cli matic conditions have influenced the design, as is proper, whether you are building in Cairo or in, Rheims. The climate of Nebraska knows the bitterness of a wind-swept winter and the scorchings of an unshaded summer. Both are mitigated by the sheltered courts. Then, for pure architectural reasons, a window-broken wall would be too fragile a base for such a tower. Again, had classic pillars adorned the facade they would have cast shadows too delicate for the massive thing which they must appear to uphold. Having committed itself to that stupendous tower, the building must pay the price. Having chosen strength and brutal vigor as its qualities, the Nebraska state capitol must be content when that ambition is attained without any of your side lines like jeweled windows. It is neither Egyptian, Romanesque, nor yet the ruins of Roman construction in Northern Africa. Yet it suggests these three unrelated periods. In truth, what the architect has done is to select a mood and use form to create that mood. Has Stern Mood. The mood which Goodhue seems to be developing in this structure, as in his other recent work, is of a stern almost of a brutal nature. Therefore it is gratifying to know that he has given a No, as stern as his own conception of a state .capitol, when a practical budget fan suggested that the advantage of this plan was that it could be buiit up to the tower and then completed at the Nebraska leisure. The plan calls for an expenditure of some 10 million dollars, and work will not be started until the very mm men HI

GOES ABROAD TO STUDY ECONOMICS

V Miss Dorothy Sella. Miss Dorothy Sells, daughter of Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs, and Mrs. Sells, plans to go soon to London to take a two-year course in economics at the London School of Economics. She is a graduate of Wellesley and also took a degTee in economics at tha University of Chicago. ------ end Is in sight. A year will probably be taken to draw up the plans and by the summer of 1921 it is believed that construction will begin. Then, for better and for worse, the monumental dream will become a reality. Either it will be a building of impressive force that will stretch its power millenniums into the future as architecture, alone of the works of man's hands, can do or else it will be a stern-browed reminder of 10 million dollars that could have been spent in better ways no timid copy of a dead art. Nebraska ha sbeen brave has dared where other states have bought their capitols, more or less ready to wear of the standardized Washington model. SOVIET ASKS BRITAIN TO MAKE STATEMENT (By Associated Press) LONDON, Nov. 2 Assurances have been asked of Great Britain by the Russian soviet authorities that she will not countenance the military activities of General Ealakovitch and Petlura, the anti-soviet commanders who continued hostilities against the Bolsheviki after the conclusion of the peace with Poland. The request came through Gregory Krassin, soviet representative in London, who yesterday handed a note to the British government complaining that notwithstanding the Polish armistice the forces of Generals Balakovitch and Petlura were continuing warfare on soviet Russia with the assistance, the note alleged, of the entente powers. The note asked that Great Britain make it plain that she would not give her approval to these forces in continuing the bloodshed. THREE TRAINMEN KILLED IN WRECK TUESDAY (By Associated Press) AUBURN.
