CHARGES AGAINST TEXAS BUILD.
ING COMPANY BEING INvESTI.
GATED BY BOARD OF AFFAIRS.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 27.-To investi.
gate charges against the Texas Build.
ing company in constructing the sta g
penitentiary, the state board of af-
fairs, composed of Royal ]. Allen
chairman; j. j. Quarles, secretary,
and J. T. Dickerson, third mem ber
will meet at McAlester Nov. 3.
The charges were preferred by w.
l.. Bishop, formerly foreman of the
steel gang working on the penitentiary
walls. He Is said to be an ex-employe
of the Texas Building company. He
divides his charges into two portions
what he knows personally and what
he knows on information.
The first embraces thirteen accuse.
tions, including padded pay rolls; that
the administration building was con-
structed on foundations known to be
faulty, cracked and weakened; that
the supposedly solid concrete beams
are built Of wooden shells and metal
frames painted to resemble solid
beams; that the steel endorsements
called for by the plans and specifica-
tions were Systematically omitted 10
such an extent that the strength OF
the concrete work Is badly weakened:
that bolts were used instead OF rlvc's
on the roof; that three-eighths steel
was used instead of halfinch in re-
inforcing the concrete; that no ell
endorsements were used in the floor
OF the west wing, and that the plans /.
were generally not followed, work
and material inferior to that
demanded in the specifications.
He further charges, on his belief.
that the original plans were burned
and substitute plans calling for light.
er, cheaper and inferior materials
lsed; that the Texas Building COM
oany defrauded the state out of $780,
100 by switching materials that had
been paid for by the state OF Okla
lona into its own works; that much
cement the state paid the Texas
Building Company for to be used in
he penitentiary was stolen and used
n laying sidewalks in McAlester. ,
Bishop, in filing his complaint, ask
d an opportunity to produce wit,
esses and testimony proving his
harges and seemed confident Of his
bility to substantiate them. {

Jim. You see, you never amounted to

Speaking of the constitution, reminds
me that you stood for a great many
things in that instrument that our
party was against in that Inflated com

you, Jim, I'll never tell 1t on you.
