12 ITTNER CHARGES DENIED BY M'ILHENNY From First Page] Boating Company with respect to commissions proposed or collected by htm in connection with the erec tion of school buildings In Harris burg. | Mr. Mcllhenny says he never asked or received commissions from builders or architects, that he never profited illegally from his relations with the school board and that there Is no truth in the assertion that he sought pay from Ittner in return for procuring votes for him among the directors. Ittner had said that Mc llhenny, through a third party, had demanded one-fifth of his commis sion in return for influencing school directors to vote for his selection as architect to plan the new high schools. No "Money in Drawer" Mr. Mcllhenny further denies that any architect ever "left money In a drawer whore he could find It," as charged by Ittner and his friends, Or that he ever in any way paid for his influence in the board. He takes up cudgels in defense of his own con nections with the school board dur ing the period he served as a sub agent for the American Seating Com pany in Harrisburg and says that during that time the school board paid no more for school supplies than if another had been agent, and he assorts that the affairs of the board were better managed then than now. He points to the condi tion in which the schools were left, the kind of buildings erected and the pay the teachers' were receiving at the time he says he ceased to be a dominating influence in school board affairs. Sworn Statements Mr. Mclihenny's affidavit is ac companied by sworn statements wade by C. W. Strayer and Augustus Wildman, contractors who built schools during the so-called "Mc llhenny regime," and with whom he was able to get into contact at this title, asserting that they had never been improperly approached with respect to school work nor had they ever paid anybody any commissions. C. Howard Lloyd, who as architect designed all of the schoolhouses built during the Mcllhenny period and for Home time previous, ayd whose repu tation suffered by inference, at least, in the Ittner charge, has is sued a statement denying as broadly as Mr. Mcllhenny any irregularities charged. It is understood his state ment also will be accompanied by supporting affidavits. Mr. Mclihenny's Affidavit Mr. Mclihenny's sworn statement Is as follows: "I, George W. Mcllhenny, being duly sworn, depose and say that the charges set forth by Mr. Petre, that is, that 1 received monies from con tractors and architects who have In the past planned and erected school buildings, is false in every particular. 1 have never approached n contractor on the subject of com mission, nor has any contractor made any such reference to me. Mr. Lloyd at no time has offered or paid me a commission, nor have I asked him for one, and any reference to 1 the contrary either as to the archi- | tect or to the contractor is absolutely false. I further declare that 1 have ' rot been interested in a financial J way in any of the school buildings during their construction and that no 1 contractor ever approached me on the subject. "Mr. L. D. Petre has made state- 1 ments to the effect that money was placed in drawers and that the architect was obliged to see that the contractors pay my commission. ' These statements are wholly un true, and if Mr. Stewart's affidavit ( Is read, and I wish to state that J he was present during the entire in terview, he heard nutnlng mention ed to that effect.

Mr. Mclihenny's affidavit is ac companied by the following state ment: • "To The.Citizens of Harrisburg: "My reply to the lengthy har angue found in the newspapers of Harrisburg last Saturday, Sunday and Monday will be short and to the point. I herewith submit sworn affi davits from myself and from such contractors as I have been able to interview. Sir. Sollenberger, build er of the Hamilton and Technical High School buildings, is dead. I never knew him, except by introduc tion while he was building the Tech nical High School. Mr. John Emery, of Philadelphia, builder of the Sliimmell building, cannot be locat ed. Mr. William Roebuck, builder of the Vernon building, is in Pitts burgh. But if Sollenberger was living, and Emery and Roebuck in Harrisburg, I feel sure that I could have affidavits similar to the ones submitted herewith. "I wish to endorse my first inter view as true and correct in every particular, and what I have to add now will be more in the form of questions. Before asking these questions let me say, first, that there is no odium surrounding the Har risburg schools, that there has been no 'sordid conditions' or any other irregularities in tho selection or architects, builders or contractors. The subject has always been open and above board, the board select ing the best plan submitted and giving the contract to the lowest responsible bidder. Defends SrTiools "I have been before the Harris burg schools for twenty-five years and have watched the schools grow. I have every reason to be proud of the result. To-day you have the best school buildings, token as a wholes in the state. Your diplomas are recognized by more colleges than any other city in the state, Philadel phia excepted. Your salaries to teachers ore the highest in the state. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh except ed, and Pittsburgh only by a close margin. These matters have all been accomplished before Mr. Stapim be came president of the school board and I desire to Inform the public that it is during his administration (of bossism) that all this controversy has occurred. Never in twenty years has there been such 'stuff and bluff' put before the Harrisburg people. "The directors went ahead and did thintrs, and lot mt remind you too, for much less money than the present board is. "During all the pMt twenty years and more I have been an agent for supplies, furniture una books.

"Why did Mr. Ittner write to Mr. Boyd about me? "Why did not Mr. Boyd publish the letter so written that the people here might know the truth? "Mr. Stamm says he sees no rea son why Mr. Ittner should not meet me; grant that to be true, then why did not Mr. Stamm arrange the in terview? "When he had Mr. Ittner at his house nearly a year ago. why was I not invited with the select few and the matter settled then and there? "But no, it was not to be done that way. The selection of an archi tect was to be made without my assistance: somebody has blunder ed and Mellhenny is to shoulder the j blame.

"Sworn and subscribed to this 30th day of April, 1917. "EDWARD J. HI ETON, "Alderman. "My commission expires first Mon day in January, 1920." Mr. Lloyd's Statement Mr. Lloyd's sworn statement, ac companied by affidavits from Harre Brothers, McCreath Brothers, the Columbus Heating and Ventilating Company, E. G. Baumenstine, A. T. Holl, Aubrey Baldwin, John F. Barn hart and Cowden and Company, who had contracts in connection with the erection of the Steele and other schoolhouses recently designed by Lloyd, and stating that they had never paid commissions to Mr. Lloyd or anybody else on the school work, was made public this after noon. Mr. Lloyd denies emphatically all of the charges mae against him in directly by Ittner and the American Seating Company and goes at some length into the history of the pres ent high school controversy so far as relates to his own connection therewith. It was received too late for publication in full but will ap pear at length in the TELEGRAPH to-morrow. In it he tells of President Stamm's objections to him, Lloyd, becuuse of his "supposed connection with Mc llhenny" and says that Mr. Stamm "gave him a chance to withdraw." He tells how he insisted upon try ing to have the board select him as high school architect, of the effort on the part of the Chamber of Com merce and the Municipal League to have Ittner chosen and asserts that attacks were made upon him, not withstanding that he "was ever glad to testify to lttner's ability." Continuing the statement says: "The culmination of these meth ods was reached some weeks ago when the aid of Mr. Mcllhenny was sought, either by Ittner himself, or by the school furniture contractors, it does not particularly matter which. A curious commentary on the consistencies surrounding this controversy is supplied in that, while Mr. Stamm based his objections to n>e entirely upon my alleged con nection with Mr. Mcllhenny, (al though Mr. Mcllhenny was not at all in my confidence in this school tran saction, and had dtne nothing what soever for me) yet Mr. Stamm says he sees no objection to Mr. Ittner conferring with Mr. Mcllhenny. I suppose, however, it is unreasonable to expect any great degree of con sistency at this stage of the game. "I have pursued the even tenor of my way in this controversy and have done nothing to ruffle the feelings of my fellow architect, Mr. Ittner, hut he has not reciprocated in kind. His intimations as to my alleged division of commission with McMclllienny and my acting in the capacity of a collecting ngfcney for the same gentleman, as well us a few gratui tous and pharasaic comments on al leged "sordid" conditions in this city, seems to be carrying his zeal to se cure the Harrisburg business rather far, and is much beneath his sup posed standing in the profession. "It has been explained that Ittner the architect, and Boyd the furni ture contractor, are close personal friends, and I have understood that it is lttner's custom to specify the school furniture, a Condition not pre vailing in this 'sordid' community. Was it not quite reasonable that Mr. Boyd in the dual capacity of friend and furniture contractor should fly to lttner's assistance when Ittner needed one vote so badly? And to continue that assistance to attempt to, extract him from a difficulty, even by poing to the length of having one of his employes execute a scurrilous affidavit, to which affidavit Mr. Itt ner was tacitly a party. "So much for the general history and aspects of the case, which has been a very long episode. I now de sire to take up the special aspects of the matter in which I am particu larly concerned. Long an Architect Here "I have practiced architecture in Harrisburg for nearly 22 years, and in that time have had a great per centage of the large architectural work. I have enjoyed the confidence of leading men of affairs, at least to the extent of doing their private work and disbursing their money; and I do not think one of them be lieves I have ever betrayed that confidence. Does it seem reasonable that I could have been stooping to the nefarious practice of commis-1 sion taking for all these years, either with public or private work and re i main in business to-day? | "I state most positively and un- I equivocally that I have not acted in | the capacity Intimated, namely, that : of an agency for collecting commis | sions for Mr. Mcllhenny from con ! tractors or from other persons. Nor | have I collected or arranged to col lect any commission either for my- I self or for Mr. Mcllhenny, or for any | school or other schools. Neither Mr. ! Mcllhenny nor any other person has ! profited a single dollar by any such arrangement, for the very good and [ sufficient reason that no arrange , ment or even tacit understanding of | that sort existed at any time. In short, Mr. Mcllhenny has never ask ed me to collect or arrange for com missions from contractors, subcon tractors or material men, and if he had asked me to do this, 1 certainly would not have complied. In this connection it may be stated that Mr. Mcllhenny has never had a single suggestion to make, apart from in formal suggestions as to the desiru i billty of using locai materials and la bor wherever practicable, in which I most heartily concurred; nor has he ever asked me to take care of any material or material man in my specifications. To the best of my knowledge and belief, he has never even seen a single >ne of my specifi cations. I have had little time to get full evidence bearing on the above, but have secured a very full line of affidavit from concerns hold ing contracts on the last school built here, (the Steele). I have also pro cured affidavits from the principal material men and subcontractors, also from contractors and subcon tractors on some of the older build ings. With more time, I could pro long the list of affidavits indefinitely, and cover every building I have erected here or elsewhere. Copies of these affidavits are appended to this statement. I ask if Ittner's in timation sounds plausible in the face of this evidence, all collected in a day? His Conuiiission "My commission for schools is 5 per cent, and not 6 per cent. This commission of 5 per cent. 1 earn in the legitimate service I render. One per cent, has never been added to any charge for disburament to any per son, and whatever .nay be the cus tom of others, ethical and moral considerations would not permit me to be a party to any such plan. I have never arranged with Mr. Mc llhenny to pay him a fifth of my commission or a single dollar of it; he has never aske it; if he had asked, I should have re/jsed most positive ly to do so. An# in order that my statement may be perfectly clear, I want to repeat as forcefully and em phatically as I am able, that I did not, at any time, share my commis sion with Mr. Mcllhenny, either in small or in great part. The fact should not be overlooked that satis factory service is an asset of value, and that by no means all public work Is given out through political preference. And the service render ed by me to the Harrisburg school board has been satisfactory service, which resulted in my holding the business, just as I have through sat isfactory service, been retained again and again by private clients. It seems cturlous that ill Ittner's case his ten ure of the position of school archi tect in St. Louis for fifteen or twenty years should be attributed here to his surpassing ability, and that the term of service in Harrisburg should be attributed purely to poli tics. I have found that orj is oblig ed to furnish competena service to long continue in any capacity here or elsewhere. "Now the work in question is of importance to me, of course, but it is of minor importance as coin pared with the reputation for busi ness integrity which I am very sure I have earned right here in Harris burg. It is of vastly greater im portance to me to convince the gen eral public that my hands are and have been perfectly clean in all of my professional work, than to se cure the school w<uk in Harrisburg. If. however, it is the pleasure of the board to have their work done by some other architect, I am perfectly satisfied, if, 011 the other hand, it is their pleasure to give it to me, my best service shall be enlisted to give Harrisburg well-planned, economi cally constructed and honestly ad ministered buildings. And I want to say in closing that the aspersions on my reputation by a competing archi tect are absolutely unjustified and without the slightest foundation in fact. "C. HOWARD LLOYD."

BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Sub titute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets—the substitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxativ'e, and their effect on the liver is instantaneous. They are the re sult of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the Rood that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth ? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Ed wards' Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and "heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they ■"perk up" the spirits. 10c and 25c. SAYS WE BECOME CRANKS ON HOI WATER DRINKING Hopes every man and woman adopts this splendid morning habit. Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really in capacitated by illness. If we all would practice inside bathing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thou sands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complex ions we should sqe crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-cheeked people every where. The reason is that the hu man system does not rid Itself each day of all the waste which it ac cumulates under our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else It ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed Into tlie blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the lire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the pre vious day's accumulation of indi gestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, arc advised to drink each morning, be fore breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in It, as a harm means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
