14 LLOYD DENIES THAT COMMISSIONS ON SCHOOLHOUSES Architect Refutes Charges Made by Ittner That He Sought Out Support of Politicians C. Howard IJoyd, in a statement to thQ public, denies emphatically that he has over paid commissions to anybody in connection with the school buildings which he designed for the Harrisburg school district. Mr. Lloyd's denial followed on the heels of charges made by \V. B. Itt ner, to the effect that he had been informed that architects were accus tomed to "place money In a drawer" where G. W. Mcllhenpy, then sdomi nating influence in school affairs of the city could easily find it. Mr. IJoyd's" statement was received too late" for publication in its entirety In yesterday's issue of the HARRIS BURG TELEGRAPH and In order that he may have fu/t opportunity of setting his side of the controversy be fore the public, it is herewith repro duced In its complete form. "1 have of course read the several affidavits of Mr. Ittner and his friends of the American Seating Co.. in palliation of the methods adopted by the said Ittner to land the single vote necessary to insure his election as architect for the Harrisburg schools. 1 am not at all concerned whether Ittner or Boyd or Petre was the prime mover In the enterprise of securing Mr. Mcllhenny's presence In Chicago to hear Mr. Ittner's repre sentations. The conceded fact of the interview is the essence of the case. Whether or not Mr. Ittner obtains the good offices ot" trie school furni ture contractor or of any other con tractors in furthering his ambitions in Harrisburg. does not concern me.

Before going Into this, however, pos sibly It will be interesting to touch upon the school work now contem plated In this city, and upon my con nection with the i.'.se. lld Not Nock Politicians "The building of schools here and elsewhere has occupied a large part of my time for a number of years. Most of the schools built here during the past twenty years have been from my plans, and I think they are regarded as good schoolbulldlngs. economically built and quite up to established standards when built. With this experience here and else where. when the present group of buildings was proposed, it seemed quite proper for me to become Inter ested to the end that I be commis sioned for the work. If at all possible. 1 regarded the work as of a quite legitimate character, the obtaining of which seemed the proper subject for every legitimate endeavor. "This endeavor ;ook the form of interesting the board members in my past work and In going into the present problems with such thor oughness and In such detail as to bring conviction that I was the log ical man for the work. I did not Invoke political Influences, but de termined to conduct my campaign purely with the legitimate arguments of fitness for the work which I could myself advance. I early tried to en list the Interest of Mr. Stamm, then a new member of the board, but I soon found his interest in Ittner ex tended to his entertaining him, along with certain members of the School Board, at his home. I had of course no criticism of such an act. Mr. Stamm's prerogative to be for whom he pleased being unquestioned. It was. however, somewhat disquieting, as I had been led to believe that Mr. Stamm was very apt to have his own way in every circumstance that might come up in the board's delib erations. I persisted in my endeav ors to interest Mr. Stamm, in spite of the rumors I heard from time to time to the effect that he favored Mr. Ittner. These rumors as to his attitude toward Ittner became so fre quent as to amount to a practical certainty in my mind how he would stand in the final analysis. A com petition was inaugurated and archi tects were invited from North. South, East and West, and much time was devoted to hearing talks and read ing briefs. A subcommittee con sisting of Mr. Staniru and several other gentlemen was appointed to make a recommendation to the board. Prior to this meeting of the subcommittee. Mr. Stamm advised me he would be against me. not *>n the ground of incompetence, for said he. 'I am convinced that you could handle the work very satisfactorily." The ostensible reason for his being against me was my supposed con nection with Mr. Mcllhenny. He gave me a chance to withdraw as a com petitor. and without his directly say. ing so, I was led to believe such was his desire. I neither had nor have any objection to his coming out di rectly for the man whom rumor had indirectly associated with his name long before the competition was in augurated: he was still exercising his unquestioned prerogative to favor whom he pleased. But being a free agent. I also exercised my preroga tive <which has been largely ques tioned since) of continuing in the race, although it was a foregone conclusion whom the subcommittee would recommend. The eventual outcome of the subcommittee's meeting of an hour or so quite jus tified my anticipations by recom mending ittner to the School Board. The subsequent rejection of the re port of this committee by the board is now a matter of history, and here is where the organized effort started to get the lacking vote to elect Mr. Ittner.

"Calumny against me was resorted to by some of tho papers and by Individuals as well, and as time passed with tho situation unchanged, calumnious utterances became al most a campaign of vllltlcation. 1 Meanwhile, no one can show that in iny one-man right against such heavy odds, I used stronger argu- ; ments against Ittner than a com parison of his high costs with my moderate ones and the advantages i accruing from the selection of a lo- . cal man. 1 was ever very glad to say that Mr. Ittner was a very capable architect no doubt. And I still persisted In working for the business along legitimate lines and | without the aid of either benign or malign politics, or of any of the ad herents of either. Candor compels the statement that my opponents were not equally ethical in their methods, for they certainly did use political methods which were quite amazing, and tried unsuccessfully to employ others." "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. Stamrn based his objections to me 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 dune 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 tfce feelings of my fellow architect, Mr. Ittner, but he has not reciprocated in kind. His intimations as to my alleged division of commission with McMcllhenny and my acting in the capacity of a collecting agency for the same gentleman, as well as 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 Ittner'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 land furniture contractor should fly to Ittner's assistance when Ittner needed one vote so badly? And to continue that assistance to attempt to extract him from a difficulty, even by going 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 .tyvhitect 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 I work. I have enjoyed the confidence i 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 i the nefarious practice of commis 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 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. Xor have I collected or arranged to col lect any commission either for my 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 oc arrange for com missions from contractors, subcon tractors or materiHl men, and If he had asked me to do this, I 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- TRY THIS TO BANISH ALL RHEUMATIC PAINS People who have been tormented for years—yes, even so crippled that they were unable to help themselves —have been brought back to robust health through the mighty power of Rheuma.

In which | I most heartily concurred; nor has | Uo 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 nover | oven seen a single ?no of my speclfl-1 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 butld ings. With more time. I could pro long the list of affidavits indefinitely, and cover every building l have erected here or elsewhere. Copies of these affidavits nre appended to this statement. 1 ask if Ittner's in timation sounds plausible in the face of this evidence, all collected In a day? His Commission "My commission for schools is i per cent, and not 6 per cent. This commission of 5 per cent. 1 earn in the legitimate service 1 render. One percent, has never been added to any charge for disbursment 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- Ilhenny to pay him a. fifth of my commission or a single dollar of it; he has never aske it; if he had asked, 1 should have re/ased most positive ly to do so. And, in order that my statement may be perfectly clear. I want to repeat as forcefully and em phatically as I am able, that X did not, at any time, share my commis sion with Mr. Mclihenny, either in small or in great part. The fact should not be ovenooked 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 pfivate clients. It seems i curious that in 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 iiis surpassing ability, and that the term of rty service In Harrisburg should be attributed pure'.v to poli tics. I have found that OIJ 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 com 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 ini 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 work in Hurrisburg. If. however, it is t!;e pleasure of the board to have their work done by some other architect, I am perfectly satisfied, if, on ths 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."

YOUTHFUL TRAPEZE STAR WOULD WIN NEW FAME AS A PAINTER Pretty Girl Performer of Bar num & Bailey Circus Not Satisfied With Plaudit Won by Daring The band is stilled and 10,000 .throats that were shouting in laugh ter are hushed when Senorita Lupeta Perea. the little Mexican girl, per forms on the high trapeze. Three years in the circus world and she Is a central figure. Vet Lupeta Perea, IT •nd beautiful, is not completely happy. She wants to be an artist and her ambition soars to the point of at tracting by her art the entire world to as great an extent as her trapeze performance holds spellbound a circus audience. A native of Mexico, of the pure Spanish type. Senorita Perea left the land of strife to join the circus when she was little more than 14 years of age. While not a fugitive, in the strict sense of the word, nevertheless Senorita Perea and her mother were forced to llee from Mexico when the Insurrectos under command of Gen eral Villa first invaded tile State of Monterey. The cattle ranch owned by the Perea family for generations was seized by the insurgents, and the mother and daughter, the last sur vivors of the family, came to the I'nited States, where the girl immedi ately joined the world of the "white tops." Although never before had Senorita Perea been forced to earn a living by means of her skill as an aerialist, she became an immediate favorite with circusgoers in this country. The girl's wqnderful agility asserted itself in early life, and she was the marvel of her schoolgirl friends in hazardous feats in midair. At the age of 13 she became so enthused wltli her work that she began to interest older per sons with her wonderful skill and dar ing. Then one day there came, during the fiesta days of December, a grand display in El Toreo. the famous bull ring of Mexico City. President I.ladero and all his official staff were present. Senorita Perea's aerial apparatus and nets were erected, and the ovation she received for her wonderful aerial ex hibition is still remembered in the war-torn capital. Her entrance into a professional circus career dates from that triumphant occasion. Senorita Perea is noted for her ex travagant wardrobe, consisting of no less than twenty different costumes, nil of novel and exquisite design. She has the reputation of being the best dressed girl in the circus world. Although an accomplished musician, she > earns to excel in art. and she lias exhibited consciderable talent along this line.
