11 THE MORNING OREGONTAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1914. - - ' CHIASM DRAWS ARCHITECT'S REPLY Mr. Whidden Declined to Give Out Plans Instead of Re fusing, He Asserts. COMMITTEE MISSES POINT M It-Intel Muriiano. Recently Dis missed Bridge Superintend ent, ajs. .lob MM Not Reward for Aiding Mr. Holman. William M. Whidden. member of Whidden A Lewis, architects of the County CouVthouse, whose withholding of plans and specifications from the Joint committee of the Taxpayers' and Non-Partisan leagues that U investi gating county affairs was criticised Thursday, appeared before the commit tee at Its session yesterday morning. He carried a copy of The Oregonian. He opened it to the story of Thursday s session and demanded to Know If the account of the meeting expressed the aentlments of the committee. "I haven't read it yet." said Dr. A. J. Glesy. chairman of the committee. Mr. Whidden said he would wait 'While- Dr. Qlesy read the account. Dr. tilesy read it from beginning to end. and then remarked to Mr. WhidHcn: "That's practically the transaction as It occurred." Attitude Called Vnjust. Mr. Whidden replied that if so. the attitude of the committee was unjust to him. He aaked for the opinion -of the committee. "The general opinion Is this, said Pr. Gieay: "That we have asked for the plans and specifications of the Courthouse, with no Idea of criticism; on the other hand, with the Idea of putting a stop to the lnuendoes in re gard to the building of the Courthouse that are heard In the streets. We have asked, as taxpayers." he continued, "for the plans and specifica tions. In order that we might make our investigation, and we have been unable to get them, or it has seemed so. "Now, there is and has been a great deal of street talk about the Court house, and we felt that this was a good opportunity to get to the bottom of It and clear It all up. All we want is the truth; we are not after anything else.' Mr. Whidden Only "Declined." Mr. Whidden reiterated that tire state ments of members of the committee were untrue and unjust. Referring to the statement made to the committee on Thursday by George Mason, manager of the Non-Partisan League, that Mr. Whidden had refused to give him the plans and specifications for the commit tee, he asserted warmly that he had not refused that he had merely declined. Mr. Whidden's fine distinction be tween "refuse" and "decline" appeared to be not altogether clear to the com mittee. The members were plainly pus xled by the rhetorical technicality in volved. Mr. Mason readily admitted that Mr. Whidden mlirht have said that he "declined." instead of that he "re fused." and explained that he had cer tainly not intended any misrepresenta tion in using the word "refused" to the committee. He -made it plain, however, that Mr. Whidden's declination had been a Arm one. "I applied at your office. Mr. Whid den.'" said Mr. Mason, "and an employe said that he couldn't give me the plans without authority from Mr. Whidden or Mr. Lewis. Mr. list Denies Authority. "I met Mr. Lewis ort the street. He said he couldn't give out the plans without an authorization from the County Commissioners. "I got the authorization, and pre sented It. After waiting for 10 days for this. I was told by employes that 1 couldn't have the plans, and that they had orders not to give them out." He had talked to Mr. Whidden over the telephone, and Mr. Whidden had de clined to let the committee have the plans, giving as a reason that the County Commissioner had not an swered a certain letter and telegram he had sent them previously from Los An geles, asking what the Investigation was all about and what was wanted of him. In explaining the telegram Mr. Whid den told the committee that on his re turn, neither letter nor telegram having been answered, he had asked Commis sioner Lightner and Commissioner Hart about it. and they had told him to go for information to Commissioner Hol man. who was responsible for the in vestigation. "He'll ot io o Holman." "And I'll bj d-pd lf I'll do it" Mr. Whidden concluded. Hotly. "This seems to be a controversy be tween you and the County Board that this committee has nothing to do with," suggested Dr. Giesy. He added that It should not prevent Mr. Whidden from giving the committee any assistance and Information in his power. "Well. 1 don't know what it's all about," insisted Mr. Whidden. He de clined to give the committee any plans until his telegram was answered by the Commissioners. "This committee is appointed by tax payers," replied Dr. Giesy, "and we cer tainly have a right to this informa- tlon. "This is not a legal body, and we can't swear witnesses, we don't want to swear them. We have shown so far. we believe, that we have no favorites and no enemies. We feel that we should have -hese plans and specifications." Mr. Whidden Declined Xunin. After much more talk, most of it not material to the Investigation. Mr. Whidden said that he would not give the committee any of the plans and sneclflcations in hts possession. He also declined to appear before the com mittee to testify. "If the Board of Commissioners asks for the general plans to give to you. they can have them." he said. "But I won't be responsible tor them, for I don't know what is in them. If the board will wait until we have time to complete the detailed copy of the plans we are preparing for them, hhey can have everything in regular order." He declared further that the Com missioners had been given general plans of the Courthouse, which the committee had been Informed by mem bers of the board was not the case. Specifications on every contract In the building or the Courthouse. .Mr. v ijiu den said, were on file with the con tracts In official records of the Com mis'ioners. The other event of moment at yes terday's session was the testimony, of Michael Murnane. ex-superlntendent of I rnlrci and ferries for the county, air M -.mane was appointed shortly after Commissioner Holman took office and was dismissed a few weeks ago oy vnte of Commissioners Llghtner and Hurt who ware in harmony on that particular occasion. Mr. Murnane declared that Just after his appointment. Commissioner Mart, then an enemy of Mr. Llghtner, came to him with a list cr county employes ltinv names were checked'. These, ac cording to Mr. Murnane, Mr. Hart said, were friends of Llghtner and must be dismissed. An Investigation showed that the morning crew of the ferry Sellwood was not attending to amy. ai. ...u. said, and thev were dismissed for that reason. He said that Mr. Hart was In such a hurry that he "fired" the whole afternoon crew without waiting for Murnane to Investigate and on his own respunsiumi .

"That Is all false," said Mr. Murnane. "I had barely met Mr. Holman and I did not work for him. I was appointed here after I had talked with Commis sioner Hart and had presented refer ences from M. J. Buckley, superin tendent, and many other officials of the O.-W. R. N. Company, with which I worked Tor 25 years, highly recom mending me." Commissioner Holman asxwi tne privilege of making a statement Constructive I'lnn Claimed.
