THE ANSWER OF ARCHITECT FRANK P MlLBURN.
In Detail the Man Against Whom Charges Were Made
Replies to His Accusers in the General
Assembly.
Assembly.

REPLY OF FRANK p. MILBURN,
ARCHITECT, TO REPORT OF IN
VESTIGATING COMMITTEE, RE-
LATING TO THE WORK ON THE
STATE HOUSE.
To the Public:
I will be glad for you to consider my
reply to so much of the report Of the
investigating committee, recently made
to the Legislature, as seems necessary
at this time.
In the first place, the committee,
composed of chosen representatives OF
the people, "all honorable gen. .lemen," :"
In their desire to vindicate the author
OF the minority report of one MEM
ber of the old capitol commission have
gone beyond the authority given by the
concurrent resolution under which they
acted. BY that resolution they were
directed to report to the next session
of the general assembly such facts and
recommendations in reference thereto
as they may deem advisable" And
yet these honorable gentlemen" go
out of their way to inject into their
report wholly unwarranted and inn
proper conclusions. which are neither
facts" nor Recommendations" but
libellous and indiscriminate reflections
on numerous state officers and repre-
sentatives, as well as the architect and
contractors. Miserable fraud" mon
strous swindle" and "malefactors!"
Such gratuitous expressions are as
false as they are uncalled for by the
ctncurrent resolution.
But, that this committee was more
bent on vindicating the one dissenting
member of the capitol commission than
carrying out the suggestions of the
legislature, is evidenced by the fact
that they did not employ an archi-
tect,' as was suggested by the authori-
ty given In the concurrent resolution,
but paid $500 day for contract
Or who says he has been "superin--
tendent of constructing OF the United
States capitol for four years"
But further still, this committee was
directed to consider the several re-
ports of the commission for the con-
pletion of the State house." with au-
thority to summon witnesses, etc.
They seem to have considered only the
one minority report of Senator J. Q.
Marshall, made in February, 1908, and
examined witnesses only in support of
that minority report, without calling
single witness in support of the re-
port and action of seven honored citi-
zens and officers of the state, who diff
fered with Col. Marshall, and who are
as wide awaB TO UbA interests of the
State as he or ~de mo-nbers of this in
vestigating committee, and who have
always depended more upon witnesses
in this State. whose standing and cred
ibilty are known to them personally,
than a foIcign Importation who is
recommended by the superintendent of
the federal capitol building, and was no
doubt never before heard of I'm South
Carolina.
But let us glance at the procedure Of
this investigating committee, When
they select their expert he is brought
to Columbia and shown the general
plans and specifications upon which
contractors were invited to bid for the
work: but not the plans showing the
notifications nor the detail drawings
for actual work. He examines the

nacio Lopez, Pablo Will. 1t was four
o'clock in the afternoon before the
| 20 ho Of no r.
ing delegations from the city of Las
Vegas was settled. Every step of the
way was fought by the friends Of the
two sides. Charles A. Spiess and Sc
cundino Romero leading for the Ward
delegation and Margarito Romero and
Zacharias Valdez doing the heavy
talking for the Clark delegation. The
question was decided by vote of the
convention excluding precinct No. 80.
The Clark delegation from this pre-
cinct was finally seated 81 to 49. Sew
eral times during the convention it
looked as though split must come
over rulings of the chair construed
to be unfair to the Ward delegation,
but the latter opposed dividing the
convention and declared from the out
set that if poll could be obtained.
they would abide by the consequences.
After the decision, the ousted Ward
delegation, while not admitting the
justice of the procedure, said through
it's spokesman, S. B. Davis, Jr., that
they were still as loyal Republicans as
ever and would do their utmost for the
success of the united party. Mr..
Spiess welcomed the members Of the
Iseated Clark delegation, Independents,
Unionists, Populists, Democrats and
all, to the Republican fold and ex-
pressed the hope that they would
prove loyal and good Republicans.
