N CURE FIGHTING A

OKLAHOMA CONGRESSMNN Is
PROVING THE GENUINESS
OF HIS ELECTION.
CRy staN CorrespondentD

WASHINGTON, March 5.--(Spe-
cial) l)-Congressman Bird Mcclure Of
the First District has gone to okla
homa to look after the taking of tes-
timony in the contest case filed
against him by John ]. Davis, Of
Chandler, Okla. The taking of tes-
timony has been going on for some
time in Lincoln county and probably
will next be taken In Usage county
and then probably in Logan. Davis
charges that election officers We're in
timidated into allowing negroes to
vote because of letter explaining
!he manner in which the Grandfather
clause should be enforced, sent out
by the United States Attorneys office
of the Western District Davis at
torneys claim that the letter frigh-
Cned some of the election officers in
to letting illiterate negroes vote. The
case against Mr. Mcclure, 1t is said,
is very weak and II is doubtful after
the testimony is taken, whether IL
will be pushed or not. Mr.. McGuire's
made to the state election board was
close to coo. An attempt was made
by attorneys for Davis to have the
certificate of election issued to him.
but the state election board held that
Mcclure was legally elected and his
majority was decisive enough to war
rant the issuance Of the certificate.

The action and effect of the wind

by comparison with that on a box

to a strong wind, would Immediately
tip over. This illustrates the first
elements in wind bracing the neces-
sity for anchoring the building
against overturning, In buildings of
large ground area, the weight of the
structure is usually great enough to
provide all the anchorage needed
But in very high buildings of small
ground area special anchorage is an
absolute necessity. In the tower OF
the Singer building in New York city
the columns are anchored by heavy
steel bars that extend downward A

in Seattle, viii be anchored to the
concrete piers by hundreds Of steel
