to the neighboring wards, each con.
tainins thirty chronic sufferers or in.
firm patients who were seized with
panic. The shreks of the sufferers
mingled with the cracking of the
flames while the atmosphere rapidly
became dense with smoke.
Nurses and doctors quickly cleared
the bed ridden from one ward and in
the next ward. three Of the patients
crawled out. Neighboring firemen re-

Building Not
Being Built
As Per Plans

OKLAHOMA CITY.-Construction by
the state board Of the memorial hos
pital at Muskogee was stopped today
by Maurice Jayne, one Of the archi-
tects, II was announced here today by
c. P. Nieder. also one Of the architects
The reason for halting the work, 1t
was said by Nieder. is because Jayne
asserts the building Is not being con-
structed according to their plans. The
state soldiers relief commission will
meet Saturday to consider the situation
according TO Nieder. At his office here
Jayne pointed out today differences
which he said existed between his orig.
inal drawings and the shop drawings, q"
from which the contractors are work
ing. Jayne declared II the construction
company wanted to save money on the
hospital he wanted ito be sure the
funds are going where they will be Of
pital was built"
Jayne said he would concede that the
company has started on building
which will be substantiol but that
money saved by cutting down specf
cations should go back TO the relief
commission.
Construction OF the hospital was au
thorized by the eighth legislature. The
soldiers relief committee was created
by the same body and the commission
located the hospital at Muskogee. The
building is to cost $500, 900 and will be
leased TO the government as a govern
ment army hospital when completed.
Information that work on the soldier
hospital at Muskogee had been stopped,
WAS no surprise TO Fl. r. Fell, chairman
OF the soldier commission, who told the
Ardmoreite that he had known Of the
| report OF two sets of plans for some
days and was only waiting to get some
| additional evidence before taking the
matter up through legal channels.
He announced Thursday that he was
going to Muskogee Saturday for a
conference at which time definite ar.
rangements for a thorough probe OF
the affair would be made.
People of the state may rest assured
that the fullest kind of an investiga-
ton will be made and that II II is true
as alleged that plans We're switched
then there will certainly be a prosecu
ton" he declared.
