KATE BARNARD SAYS
STORY IS UNTRUE
Chief Assistant Has Just Completed
Inspection Of Conditions at the
Pryor Greek orphanage.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov 10.--Miss Kate
Barnard, commissioner of charities and
corrections, last night gave out an in
teryiew in which she seriously objects
to statements credited to Bert Chand-
Ter, a member of the state board Of
public affairs, in local newspaper,
saying that horrible conditions" exist
I'M the Whitaker orphanage at Pryor
Creek.
Miss Barnard says;
Bert Chandler accuses the state or.
phans home of placing our orphan
children. in coarsening proximity
boys and girls occupying sleeping
rooms in the same building. and upon
the same floor in the state orphanage
Without detail will state this is a
positive lie Now If Bert Chandler has
anything to say for himself let him
speak,
tul ieuu9 W dtoWtA any thlhh
further which he may say with afli-
dayits from the best citizens of Okla
hona"
Miss Barnard has received the fol-
lowing telegram from b. f Lee, super
intendent of the home:
orphans home articles false. Boys
and girls do not occupy the same
building. Are kept separate on play
grounds AfIldavit follows by mail !"
Miss Barnard states that three in
spections of the institution have been
made since statehood by A. Huson,
her chief assistant, and that he has
just completed an inspection, although
he has not yet submitted his report
to her.
Miss Barnard had Chandler on the
grin IN her office yesterday He said
he only stated that the institution was
badly oyercrowded, and that he did
not even intimate that boys and girls
we're quartered in the same building
and on the same fioor.

tect was instructed to proceed with

proval Of the sketches Is the first lm-
portant step toward actual work on
the building.
i can understand" said Architect
Dawson last night. ethat Vinita peo-
pie are somewhat impatient over the
seeming great delay in this work. but
If they viii stop to consider the i'm.
mense problem that has confronted the
board and myself IN planning an In
stitution, such as is to be establish
ed here, they will know that those
plans cannot be made over night. It
Is apparent that the state intends to
establish a large institution at this
place, and to plaza the buildings that
are to be the beginning Of plan so
gigantic, so that none Of the money
expended on the first buildings, viii
be wasted, is much more complicat-
ed task than most people conceive"
Mr. Dawson explained at some
length the scheme that is being devel-
oped for the asylum here. II these
plana are carried out, the vinita asy-
um will be as nearly ideal in arrange
ment and equipment as months Of
planning, supplemented by knowledge

contract for the construction OF the

home last night. The boy it is alleged

That this note was from the woman,

until a week ago treasurer of the

tanned to be s643,000. Warmer has
turned over to the company property
amounting to more than 500 900. and
there will be received from the Ameri.
can Surety Company, on his bond. $780,
600. leaving the net amount of the
shortage at something less than one
half million dollars He has been ar
rested and is now held to await the
action Of the grand jury in Cincinnati.
THE method Warmer adopted was
to cover his defalcation in the item,
cash In transit, At the end Of each
month there are considerable sums of
money on their way to the local
treasurer from the station agents and
others that have not been received

to him: well, | guess there ought
