THOROUGH
INVESTIGATION
OF AFFAIRS
National Home Building to be
Investigated
WILL SHUT THEM OUT
Territory Officials Think it
Best Plan
WILL SHUT THEM OUT

Guthrie, o. T., May 26.-The announce
ment that the National Home Building
association, located at Wichita, will trans
fer its offices to this city and confine
operations to this territory will result in
thorough investigation of the company's S
affairs by Attorney General ]. c. Rob-
berts and Secretary William Grimes
These two officials have closely watched
the company in Kansas. and have reached
the conclusion that if that state ic in the
right in refusing to continue the COM
panys charter, they cannot afford to neg
Iect Oklahoma's interests by allowing the
company to do business in the territory
without far-reaching investigation.
Attorney General ]. c. Roberts leaves
here today for Wichita and tomorrow
will learn the facts in the case against
the company. If the situation warrants
immediate action, the company may have
a more strenuous time in Oklahoma than
it had in Kansas.
Secretary Grimes, since the Kansas
trouble, has had many inquiries relative
to the standing of the Home Building
association. Mr.. Grimes says that he has
had some trouble with the company here
tofore. and prior to its Kansas case, the
officials threatened to withdrawn from Ok
lahoma entirely. A charter was taken out
in Oklahoma in 1901, for industrial pur-
poses, which was afterwards amended.
The industrial clause in the corporation
law gave the company no power, hence
the amendments to the charter when this
fact became known. 1t is now ques-
tionable whether the company can do bus
mess under the charter, as there is
special law regulating all companies doing
a building and loan business. If the
company must conform to this law il
will be required to file a report of finan-
cial conditions in the office of the secre-
tary of the territory every six months.
Secretary Grimes is of the opinion that
as the action by Kansas officials against
the company held, Oklahoma has similar
grounds for such an action.
The former Kansas company may con-
tinue to do business in Oklahoma, but its
officials will have TO show Oklahoma au-
thoritles that their concern is in good
condition in every respect.
