MEYERS REPORT SHOWS BIG
BUILDING FUND INDEBTEDNESS

Oklahoma City. May 27.-That the
last legislature appropriated $1,64O,-
076.33 out of the public building fund
for the construction of public buildings
although the state is more than $780,
600 behind in payment upon contracts
already let pursuant to appropriations
by previous legislatures from that fund,
is shown by figures compiled by State
Auditor Leo E. Meyer.
Appropriations were made previous
to the last legislature from the public
building fund, amounting to $1,732,-
2S9.35 and out of this amount 81 1885,
595.71 has been paid to contractors,
leaving balance yet due on contracts
already let of $575,759.64 To meet
this amount there is no balance in the
public building fund.
The total amount appropriated from
the public building fund by various
legislatures is 1882, ,365.6S. The public
building lands of the state, from the
sale and rental, of which this fund
must be drawn, are estimated to have
a sales value of $5,5OO,OOO. The total
|of this amount, however. can not be
realized from the lands until the end
of forty years as they are sold on the
deferred payment plan.
Including the amount of outstanding
pull JIG buildings warrants, $2,2i3..
|S13.9T has been appropriated in excess
of the amount of money realized up to
date from the sale of public building
lands.

Oldest of them all, Viscount Morley
of Blackburn, reyiving his youth and
assuming duties which his Juniors in
years have had to abandon on account
of illnesses brought on by overwork.
When John Morley, radical among
radicals, was raised to the peerage in
1908 and the conservatives chaffed
him on entering chamber, which he
had attacked as useless, the govern
ment organs explained that his ad-
vancing years-he was then 73--made
ii necessary, if he was to continue as
secretary of state for India, that he
should be transferred to the upper
house, where he would not be called
upon to take the active part in politics
that members Of the cabinet in tho
commons necessarily do. Later his
age was again given as the cause for
his retiring from the secretary of
stateship and his assumption of the
Office of president of the council to
which no arduous duties are attached.
With the, at least temporary, re-
tirement of his successor Earl Crewe
as result of serious illness, Viscount
Morley is found again assuming the

At HOME OF BRYAN
Declares He Believes Democratic Pros
poets in Coming National Cam
paign Are Good.

Lincoln, Neb., May 27. = Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey was
the guest yesterday of Lincoln bus
mess and educational interests and
put in a busy day from the time OF his
arrival early in the afternoon until he
left for the south late last night. He
was the chief speaker at the annual
banquet last night of the Lincoln Com
mercial Club. On account OF his late
arrival. due to the breaking down of
an engine, a reception planned in his
honor was limited to an informal pre-
sentation to those who called on him
at his hotel. He then went to the uni
versity OF Nebraska, where he spoke,
briefly, and paid short visit to theS
Fairyiew home of William ]. Bryan,
calling on his way to visit his old
friend, E. Benjamin Andrews, former
chancellor of the university of Nebras-
ka, who is recuperating in a subur-
ban sanitarium.
Asked to state his attitude concern
ing the presidency with which his
name has been connected, Governor
Wilson replied:
"That is a matter which others men,
ton to me now and then, but my own
attitude is that / do not discuss it at
ALL"
He said he believed democratic pros
poets in the coming national campaign
were good
In his speech at the Commercial
Club banquet last night Governor Will
son discussed the relations of the
states and their laws to those of the
national government.
