[Special to The Indianapolis News] GREENCASTLE, Ind., August 29. —Two Putnam county bridge contractors were charged yesterday in a special report of A. L. Donaldson, engineer for the state Jooard of accounts, with headquarters at Indianapolis, with owing the county several thousand dollars. It was filed in the courthouse with the county commissioner. Mr. Donaldson's report alleged that 0. J. Larkin had built four bridges in Putnam county In 1914 at a cost of $4,477; that three of the bridges have fallen down and that they have been replaced by new ones, at the cost of the county, and the fourth one is ready to fail. It is now being held up with wooden props and Mr. Donaldson says it will have to be rebuilt at an estimated cost of $2,230. Specifications of Bridge. Tho report also accuses Walter R. Heath with building a bridge in which he put only 65 per cent of the required material. It says Mr. Heath owes the county $1,158.56 on this bridge and that it was made a foot lower than the specifications called for. It also is asserted the approaches to the bridge are low, corresponding to the top of the bridge. This bridge was contracted for at a price of $1,448.20. The sworn affidavit of Arthur Plummer, the county engineer, and Charles Cummings, superintendent of the bridge, is on record that the bridge was completed according to all the plans and specifications. Since the matter came up and the services of Mr. Donaldson were requested by the commissioners, Mr. Plummer resigned as bridge and highway engineer. The board of commissioners is made up of three Democrats, H. Witt Qutherlin, president Reason E. Larkin and Charles W. Daggy. When Mr. Plummer resigned they employed William P. Koehler, of Clay county, also a Democrat. - Plans Are Missing. A bridge constructed by Mr. Larkin, a brother of the county commissioner, is known as the Mel Sutherland bridge, on the Rockville road, or the Pike’s Peak highway. The report says the concrete work was to be a depth of five feet below the water level, but, it is alleged, that instead of /ollowing the specifications Mr. Larkin began his concrete work on top of the ground. He also shortened one of the bridge wings nine feet and two others seven feet, the report alleges. Mr. Donaldson says that of the three bridges that have been rebuilt at a cost to the taxpayers of the county he failed to find on file the plans and specifications. No one seems to know what has become of them. Mr. Donaldson calls on the county commissioners to instruct John H. James, county • attorney, to take the necessary steps to recover for the county the money the report claims was fraudulently obtained by the contractors. Thus far no steps have been taken, but it is believed the matter will come up next MoridsLy at the September meeting of the board of commissioners. Further Investigations. It is understood that further Investigations of bridge work in this county is to be made by state officials. It is said it will be shown that the taxpayers for many, years have been paying for expensive bridge work in the countv and Instead of getting bridges that will last for many years, have been getting structures that will stand a year or two and then crumble, for the lack of sufficient materials used in their construction. WHEAT SOWING IMPEDED. Federal Assistance Sought in Speeding Fertilizer Shipments. Governor Goodrich today telegraphed to Director-General Hines, of the United States railroad administration, and G. 1. Christie, state food .director, sent a communication to Secretary Houston, of the United States department of agriculture, requesting assistance in speeding up fertilizer shipments movements, now so slow in Indiana as to impede wheat sowing progress and in some Instances? to make necessary the leaving off of fertilizer from fields needing It. They requested priority for fertilizer shipments. The Governor’s telegram to Mr. Hines read: ’‘Indiana state food committee is waging campaign for a large acreage of wheat this fall. Fertilizer companies report they are unable to secure cars to fill orders. They state that only 40 to 60 per cent, of needed Care have been received up to this time. It is absolutely necessary that care be secured during the next two weeks if fertilizers are to be received hy farmers in time for fall planting. Every encouragement is needed if farmers are to plant a norma! acreage this fall. Will you not arrange to issue a priority order for fertilizers so that cars may be fumishel and these goods delivered to the farm during the next two weeks? The matter is urgent and I hope you may be able to give assistance.”

One High Cost of Living Worry Is Removed by U. S.
The high cost of clothing school boys is nothing now in the life of the parents of some 3,000 boys who will attend the Indianapolis schools the coming year. The heart-rending and pocketbook-tearing operations of clothing these boys has been made easier this year by Uncle Sam, who is providing the nepessary suits, shirts shoes and hats free of all charge except the obligation on the part of the boys to study military science and tactics forty minutes each day five days & week. It is not generally known that every member of the junior reserve officers’ training corps is to receive clothing from the government in an amount sufficient to last him through the school year. Each member of the corps will be uniformed in the same manner as the members of the regular army with olive-drab wool breeches, blouse, overcoat and shirt with regulation shoes, hat, leggins and belt. The clothing is valued by Uncle Sam at $43.48, but the parents of each boy have figured the value at somewhere between $76 and $150. Members of the training corps will be permitted to wear their uniforms at all times during the school year, although the only provision made for clothing is for the one complete a'nnu^ outfit.

Representative Mondell Accuses Administration Regarding Mexico. WASHINGTON. August 29.—Representative Mondell, Wyoming, in the house, late yesterday, declared that the “administration is planting the seed and adroitly endeavoring to create the sentiment for Intervention in
Mexico.”
Such a conclusion, he asserted, can not be escaped by “any one carefully
reading the newspapers. '
“The plain effort is being made on the part of the administration to create a situation on which the congress will be compelled to act,” declared the Republican leader, who added that “carefully prepared” information regarding intervention was being spread
throughout the country.
The Republican leader also referred to the war department’s plans for an army reorganization on the basis of a force of 570,000 officers and men, asserting that such a force was too large but that there “need be no fear that congress—at least the Repub-
licans—would approve it.”
“This congress, at least the Republican members,” declared Mondell, "will not approve any program that will cost over $1,000,000,000 a year.” LOUISIANA WISHES NEGROES Committee Seeks Those in Chicago
