ASHFORD EXPLAINS
Tells Why Mckinley School
Plans Are Not Ready.
BOARD DELAYED ANY ACTION
Official Details Given of Action of
school Authorities and Engineer
Changes I'm specifications - Insult
flcIent Sketches Submitted.

THE law provides that the school plans
shall be prepared under my supervision,
and If l had been permitted TO prepare
those of the Mckinley Manual Training
School without the three changes re-
quired by the board OF education, they
would have been ready last January"
said Building Inspector Ashford yester-
day in reference to the delay in the cree
ton Of that institution.
THE site for the Mckinley" continued
Air. Ashford, was acquired in July. 1896.
and In October the architect began work
upon plans submitted by the director Of
manual training On January p, 19J7, the
Engineer Commissioner wrote TO the
board. calling attention 10 the insyfti-
cheney of the sketches.
The architect estimated that on the
plans prepared by him the building would
cost SloO0o0 more than the appropriation.
In answer to this. the Engineer Com
missioner was informed BY letter that
the board had decided to ask for an ad-
diti0nal appropriation. and that the archi-
tect would do nothing toward completing
the plans until Il twas known whether or
not there were to be additional funds.
Changes Suggested.
AT the same time changes In the
plans in respect to an assembly hail We're
suggested. The additional appropriation
was not granted, and on February l3 the
Engineer Commissioner again wrote TO
the board asking what ii desired 20 do
with the money available, Various
changes in the plans were suggested by
the board Of education. and on April %
the Engineer Commissioner wrote TO the
president Of the board explaining that the
alterations desired by the board would
reduce the seating capacity 10y $50 seats
and asking that all suggestions be sent
IN az once 10 avoid further changes in
the plans. No reply was received 10 this
letter. and on May g I wrote 20 the
Engineer Commissioner calling attention
10 the fact that the delay in answering
the communication as TO the assembly
hal was holding back the plans. and
would throw the work into the winter
weather.
Omits Corridors.
lAlS IacL was communicated 10 the
board, and on June a the president re-
piled that 'on motion the board ordered
both corridors omitted. which restored
the assembly hall 10 the condition orig
inally intended, but necessltated fourth
revision Of the plans. So IL will be seen
that the architect was not permitted 70
proceed until this date. The plans were
completed in August and submitted 10 me
It requires about two weeks to advertise
and, therefore, the bids should be received
In October.
II the school board had not insisted on
the change IN the second set of Nans
which action they reversed in their letter
Of May 24 they would have been COM
pleted last March and the work started in
April. But even under the most hurried
and unusual conditions. the building could
not have been ready for occupancy this
falL as it is a large hreproof structure

FAMILY IS DESERTED
R. ,. BOWMAN IS CONVICTED BY
 JURY
He is captured in Mobile and Taken
 Back to Pensacola, Where He VIII Be Sentenced Friday.

a .
 Pensacola. Fla. Nov. 1s.--(Speciai. ) Charged with deserting his wife and family of little children, R. J. Bow man, a white man. connected with prominent families of the county, has been found guilty in the Criminal Court upon the charge and will be sentenced next Friday by Judge Beggs.
 Bowman was at one time employed by the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road, and brought his family here. Within a few months he deserted them. and left here for Mobile. Officers To- cated him. as the plight of the mother and little children had become known to them. but Bowman after remaining in that city for several weeks left for Montgomery. thus eluding the officers. There he was afterwards located, but learned that he was to be arrested. So he returned to Mobile to be, captured. The wife was Ill and two of the chill dren sick with typhoid fever during this time, and public subscriptions were solicited for their aid. Bowman has given bond pending a sentence by the court.
 Hafton Not Indicted. The United States grand jury has failed to return an indictment against B. H. Hstton, the negro attorney. who was recently arrested on the charge of attempting to bribe a United States Court official. The case was presented to the jury by the district attorney. but no true bill was returned. and as result Hat ton was discharged from bond this morning by order of the court. The arrest of Hatton was based on letter which he sent to United States Clerk and Commissioner Marsh, In which he offered to pay the latter the sum of $50 if he would use his infiu- ence in securing for him (Hatton) a position as clerk or carrier in the post office here.
 The jury evidently took the. stand that the bribe was not offered to q postoffice official. and that at the clerk of the court was not connected with the department, no crime had been committed.
