TO SEEK WAY OUT OF THREATENED DAMAGE ACTION County Council Calls Board of Accounts to Meeting Tomorrow. BRIDGE CONTRACT IS UP Members of tbe Indiana State Board of Accounts today were asked by tbe Marion County council to attend a meeting in the county commissioners’ court tomorrow morning to determine the validity of a contract awarded the Tawger Construction . Company for the erection of the Northwestern avenue bridge. Because of the failure to dispose of a S3OO 000 bond Issue at 5 per cent, coupled with doubt on the legality of the Yawger contract, which has been taken by William H. Price, receiver for the construction company, the road has been ont of commission for months, and unless immediate action is taken the road may be Idle for mouths to come. Attorney Merle N. A. Walker, representing Mr. Price, appeared before the eounby council today and asked that body to increase the Interest on the bond Issue from 5 to 9 per cent on tbe understanding that the construction company would take over the bonds to permit the Immediate resumption of work on the road and bridge. STATEMENT BY AUDITOR. FESLER. County Auditor Leo K. Fesler said be would pay no claims on the basis of Completed work and would stand on the first ruling of the State board of accounts. "I would take no middle position between the State board of accounts and the contractor,” said Auditor Fesler. "In the meantime the road Is blocked, cltisens are denied the use of the road which may be blocked for months to come," said County Commissioner Carlin Shank. Attorney Walker said that in his opinion the State Board of Accounts erred in its opinion that the original contract with the Sheehan Construction Company could not be modified legally to allow the Yawger Company to build the bridge and raise the approach. The Sheehan Company was granted the contract for raising the grade to the present bridge and at a later time the *S>ancil decided to build anew bridge, which caused anew contract to be made with the Yawger people for the erection of the bridge. The Yawger contract overlapped part of the original contract held by the Sheehan Construction Company, and for a certain sum a settlement was made with the Sheehan Company. ATTOBNEW WILLING ON ADVERTISING. Attorney Walker said he was willing the council advertise the sale of bonds at 6% per cent Instead of raising the Interest to 6 per cent "We feel that we have a valid contract, but what would. be the use of selling the bonds if Auditor Fesler says he will abide by the original opinion of the board of accounts?" asked Mr. Walker. Atorney Walker stated that nnless the money was obtained and conditions met (Continued on Page Four.)

SAYS SHIPPING BOARD WAS GYPED Clements Describes Methods Put Over in Employing. NEW YORK, Not. 11.—Commander Abner B. Clement*, assistant to Admiral Benton, chairman of the United States Shipping Board, on the witness stand before the congressional Investigation here today, declared he had “found nothing definite to show there was corruption •of shipping board officials,” but admitted that some of the contractors have been overcharging the board. Commander Clements further admitted that hla Investigation had disclosed that It was true contractors had been listing laborers at 80 and 90 cents an honr and then paid them only 40 cents an honr, pocketing the difference. Commander Clements testified that 4,000 employes of the Shipping Board are busy on books getting data in shape. "When are we ever going to know whether the Government has lost or made money in the operation of its ships?” exclaimed Chairman Walah after futile efforts to get a definite statement on the board’s finances. “My impression Is,’ answered Commander Clements, “that it will only be known when we .have day to day accounting In onr offices of money received and money disbursed, and for daily reporta to be made by operators of our ships.” RAILROAD RATE HEARINGS OPEN Commerce Body Takes Up Plea for Intrastate Increases. Whether Indiana railroads will be granted additional Increase In intrastate rates than that already authorized by jino Public Service Commission of Indiana, now lies within the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission, *hleli today opened its session at tne Federal Building, to receive evidence in the case.

LABOR SURPLUS GROWING, BUT IS NOT ALARMING Abnormal in Only One or Two Phases Over Pre-War Standards. DETROIT HARDEST HIT CHICAGO, Nov. 11.—Barometers of labor In the Midwest today showed little indication of any extensive slump In the demand for workers. While industries In some spots have slowed down, laying off a large number of men—the automobile manufacturers being tbe outstanding example—the majority of employers of labor on a large scale are showing few signs of a let down. A survey of labor conditions In the Midwest showed that while a surplus of labor was reported In practically every city, In only one or two places was it sbnormal, compared with pre-war normal conditions. This surplus has been created by a slowing up In a few industries only. The automobile plants of the Middle Went have laid off thousand* of men; the garment makers are going through a critical period, with approximately 60 per cent of the demand for labor as during the war; the leather plants have slackened their speed. Practically all lines of work which are now slowing down are the ones which developed the greatest during the war boom. In the oil fields of the Southwest, which enjoyed a mushroom growth during the last few years and furnished employment for thousands of men, an oversupply of labor Is reported. Five hundred unemployed were reported by the Oklahoma State employment office In Tulsa—the first time In years there have been more men than jobs. The great industries of steel machinery, packing In most instances, railroads, have yet failed to show any alarming slackening In the demand for men. In Gary, Ind., the heart of the steel Industry of the Middle West, a large sign over the American Bridge Company works reads: “Men wanted." Approximately the same number of men are employed In the steel plants of the Mid.dle West as during war time. John Glenn, secretary of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association, said that while there Is some employment. It Is very slight. Some of this Is due to the fact that plants are now taking yearly Inventories, Glenn said. The Illinois Free Employment Agency said it was sbls to find work for most of Us applicants. Savings banks reported that workers (Continued on page Eleven.)

DIVORCE FIGHTS OVER WASHTUB Jordan Case Recalled in Suit to Determine Ownership. Who is entitled to the possession of a $lO washing machine, considerable silverwar, Including a Lady Oodiva Spoon, marked 1814, ruga, a Bible, photographs, furniture, kitchen utensils and other personal property, totaling $6,000 In estimated value? That la the question which Judge Harry Chamberlin of the Circuit Court Is considering today on a petition asking for a writ of replevin for the ownership of the goods In controversy. The petition was filed by Mrs. Rosealba J. Jordan, divorcee of Arthur Jordan, wealthy local manufacturer, against her former husband. At the time Mrs. Jordan was granted a divorce in the Circuit Court, it was announced that Mr. Jordan had made a million dollar settlement on Mrs. Jordan. Mrs. Jordan claims that the' property which she is now seeking to obtain belongs rightfully to her but that her husband refuses to surrender the goods. Mrs. Jordan was on the witness stand for more than three hours this morning and resumed the stand for another twohour period of interrogation.

Efforts were made to settle the controversy and not use the court’s time in deciding who owns this piece of silverware, a washing machine and other goods, br.t an agreement was considered Impossible.

MAN PICKS UP $60,000 IN ALLEY Bank’s Money Restored, Vault Door Ruined and Trusted Employe Missing. OTTAWA, 111., Nov. 11.—Two garage men ruined a $9,000 vault door and the National City Bank here lost a trusted employe, but this town Is convinced today that "man's Inhumanity to man’’ IS not as widespread as It Is popularly supposed to be. Likewise the bank Is In possession again of $60,000 which It came near to losing. Charles P. Taylor, president of the bank, adjnsted the time lock on the institutions new vault when business closed for ths day, but before shutting the door he recalled that Franela J. Carey, the teller. Intended to return for some “after hours ’ work and would need to have access to the vault. So he left the door open. Later In the evening Terrence Connelly taw a man running through an alley near the bank and noticed that he dropped a package. Connelly picked up tbe package and found it contained $60,000, apparently stolen from the bank. Rank officials were notified and they found the vault tightly locked. They concluded that Carey must have been locked in tbe vault by tbe robbers. Today la Armistice day and the bank will not be open, so the time lock on the vault had been set for 0 o’clock Friday morning. If Carey were locked In the vault there wasn't a chance, bank officials *ld, that he would live until tbe time lock released the vsult’s bolts. Warden Murphy of Joliet Prison was appealed to. The Chicago police were notified. Special trains were ordered and several expert cracksmen were mobilized. The entire countryelde was roused to the peril of the teller imprisoned In the vault. The Imprisoned man must not be allowed to die. Meanwhile, the two garage men got busy and before any of the special trains got under way they drilled n hole in the vault door. No man was locked therein. The whereabouts of Carey Is the single mysterious factor in the case remaining to be solved.

She was charged with having taken a pair of eye glassea and a number of other articles from a 6 and 10-oent store Her tears proved as successful as Mtss Terry's smiles, for the court fined her $1 and costs and sentenced her to ten days In the Woman’s Prison, and then suspended the Judgment Ethel Johnson, negro, 828 Muskingum street, charged with taking sl2 worth of merchandise from a downtown store, was found guilty and fined $1 and costa and sentenced to serve thirty daya in ths woman’s prlron.

GOODRICH AND M’CRAY BREAK Governor-Elect Puts Brakes on When Governor Tries to Dictate Appointment. The long expected open break between Governor Goodrich and Warren T. McCray. Republican Governor-elect, developed today, when the latter served notice on tho Governor that he could not approve of the reappointment of Philip Zosrcher as a member of the State board of tax commissioners. Friends of McCray are charging that Goodrich “double crossed’’ him in natu log Zoereher, a Democrat, to another four-yea.- term on the board. It la said the Governor called McCray Into a conference following his election for the announced purpose of discussing several appointments that must be made before the first of the year. Goodrich let tt be known that Inasmuch aa the new appointees must serve most of their term with McCray he dsalred to select men favorable to the Governor-elect, McCray suggested the name of John J. Brown, ItepuMlcan, of Rockville, to succeed Strange N. Cragun. whose term expires Dec. 1, and his appointment was confirmed by Goodrich. McCray declare* be was ted to believe Zoercher's terra would not end until next May and that his reappointment would not come until after he had assumed the gubernatorial reins. Although McCray indorsed the tax law In his campaign addresses, he now Contends he is opposed to the reappointment of any of the members of the board. He Is set especially against Zoereher and, according to bis friends, will take steps to unseat him at the first opportunity. It is apparent that Governor Goodrich, through the appointment of Zoereher and the fact that Fred A. 81ms Is a holdover member, sought to perpetuate his taxation policies throughout the McCray regime. Zoereher declared this morning he had nothing to say regarding McCray's opposition to his retention on the board and furthermore asserted he would “have uothing to say in the future." This leaves the fight netween McCray and Goodrich and political observers will watch with interest the moves of the two men for the next two months.
