Lincoln, March 20.—(Special.)— First Insight into the proceedings of the secret meetings held by the state capitol commission was given out to day by Governor Charles W. Bryan in the form of carbon copies of a stenographic report taken at the meeting. Testimony showed that the Allied Contractors of Omaha charged that they were shut out from bidding on stone in the new' state house by the assertion of the architect that he could not use any stone except that coming from the Indiana Quarries company. The Allied Contractors were to get their stone from the Consolidated Quarries company. Testimony of members of the Con solidated Quarries company was that this company could furnish the same kind of stone as the Indiana Quarries company. It also was Indicated by testimony that the bid of the Allied I Contractors was not tabulated in the same manner as the bids of the other contractors. The reason assigned for failure of tile Allied Contractors of Omaha to be considered was that the bids were not prepared in a proper manner. Dis covery of this fact was made the day before the letting of conti acts and the Allied Contractors appeared before l lie commission and demanded a hearing. According to the testimony of George K. Johnson, secretary of the commission, if the Allied Contractors had been permitted to put In their bid, "it would have been consider ably lower than the bid accepted." It was generally understood that J. H. Wiese was to get the contract for overseeing the building, W. L. Carey of Omaha, a member of the Allied Contractors, testified. Carey further testified he had been Informed by the architect that stone from the Consolidated Quarries com pany was not acceptable. "Mr. Carey, were you ever advised by anyone else except the architect that the Consolidated company's stone would not be acceptable?” asked Wal ter W. Head of Omaha. | “No, sir."
