Msoblnery and equipment in vast quantities for constructing the big Federalaid bridge across White River at Ilaxleton on the Dixie Bee line highway are being received at the bridge site dally, members of the State highway commission are informed by Charles G. Moore, superintendent for the Stein Construction Company of Milwaukee, contractors for the project. Active construction will begin within a short time, Mr. Moore says. This bridge, one-half the construction cost of which will be borne by the Federal Government ami the other half by the State highway commission, is the largest to go up on a Stale highway, in the Middle West. The bridge with approaches is slightly over I,M*> feet long. There are four main steel spans of a total of SfO feet crossing the river proper; four smaller steel spans of eighty five feet each, two to be at either end; fifteen concrete spans of forty-one feet each in the north approach bridging a stretch of low bottom land, and two concrete abutments of thirty feet each. The bottom of the concrete foundation will rest IT-’ feet below the extreme low water level and is atop of extra heavy steel shod pilling 30 feet long and driven to solid rock below the river bottom. The driveway which is 20 feet wide, will be 41.6 feet above the low water level and, according to extreme high water stage based on the 1913 flood, will be 12.5 feet above that stage. The top of the steel trusses rise .33 feet above the bridge floor, and from the bottom of the poliug sunk in the river bed to ahe top of the trusses, the Hazleton bridge, will be 125 feet high. Specifications call for 1,400.000 pounds of steel in this bridge, and the commission has been informed that the contractor placed this order with the Illinois Steel Company, at Gary. This steel will be fabricated —that is cut in proper lengths, connection angles riveted, etc., in the plant of the Worden-Alien Company at Milwaukee.

PAYS TRIBUTES TO GUARDIANS OF RESOURCES Senator La "ollette Discusses Resolutic i for Investigating Oil Leases. PY RICHARD LIXTHICr.It. WASHINGTON, May 12.—Discussing his amended resolution for an investigation of the naval oil reserves leasing scandal, which subsequently was adopted. Seur.tnr I.a Follette, Republican, of \\ tsconsin, [taid tributes to Senator Kendrick. Democrat, of Wyoming, who brought the secret lease of the Wyoming reserves to light, to former Secretary of the Navy Daniels for resisting the efforts of the oil monopolists to obtain control of these naval oil reserves and to the Administrations of Presidents Roosevelt. Taft and \V^ son In upholding the policy of national conservation and for preventing the natural resources belonging to the people from falling into the hands of private interests and privileged ela-st-s. Os Senator Kendrick, he said: “Ever watchful of the public interest, the junior Senator from Wyoming, Mr. Kendrick. was the first member of this body to cal! attention in a public way to what had been done. The Junior Senator from Wyoming Introduced a resolution calling the attention of the Senate Hr.d the country to the lea-ing of naval reserve No. 3. located in Wyoming, the richest of all the naval r, serves. He first informed tic- public that this lease had been made w'thoui open cornpeitfivo bidding to some favored party. That brought the matter to my attention. “The able Senator from Wyoming took the initiative in this matter and by his resolution focu'ed upon It the attention of the public. For that action he deserves the gratitude of the country. I propose to support and maintain him in ihe stand he has taken.” Os the former Secretary of the Navy, Daniels, he said: ‘The truth compels me to say that when Josephus Daniels was Secretary of the Navy he did not supinely surrender to these oil-grabbing

corporations. I have read from the testimony of Secretary of the Navy Daniels, ■'ho during his entire tenure of office resisted the efforts of the oil monopolists of this country to take Within their control the last remnants of the public domain reserved for the use of the Navy of the United States.” Os the three preceding Administrations he said: “It is true that over an unbroken period of more than a decade, three Presidents—Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson —maintained the policy of conservation in respect to the natural resources of the public domain, which has now been repudiated and reversed during the first year of the Administration of President Harding. "Some time after the present Administration came into control of the Government the public was Informed that a movement was on foot to transfer from the Navy Department to the Interior Department the control of the naval oil reserves. The change of policy under the Hardtng Administration goes much further than that. It involves the forest and it involves the coat lands. “I say now, and I sound It as a note of warning to my Republican colleagues, that you had better halt this Administration upon this course. We cannot permit a record to he made here which wll} parallel the record of Mr. Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior under the Taft Administration.” The unanimity with which Senator La Toilette's resolution for an Investigation of the oil leases was adooted indicates that the Western Progressive Republican Senators will staud by him and Senator Kendrick in upholding the policy of conservation and that the reactionary Republican Senators do not dare to openly oppose it.
TO MINIMIZE WATER HAZARD Mrs. Deubig Plans to Conduct Educational Campaign. Now that the swimming season in Indianapolis Is getting under way, Mrs. Cecelia Deubig, swimming instructor at the V. W. C. A., announced today plans of the local A. A. V. lifesaving corps for an educational campaign to minimise the hazards of water sports. An extensive exhibit at the Indians Health Exposition at the State fairground May 19 to 27 will open the campaign. Demonstrations will be given, under the direction of Mrs. Deubig. illustrating simple precautions in swimming and boating and practical methods of lifesaving. "Local bathing beaches without life buoys or guards are uusafe for public use," says Mrs. Deubig. She referred particularly to Kavenswpod. where, sha declared, the jack of life buoys during the summer months is "inexcusable negligence.” She recommends the employment of life guards as necessary for the safety of week-end crowds during the summer months. "The greatest need is for more trained swimuiefs and a general knowledge of proper lifesaving methods, whb-b would prevent most of our tragedies during the summer months,” said Mrs. Deubig "This need our life saving corps pro- ! poses to supply as far impossible through its educational work.” A meeting win be held at the T. W. C. ' A. today by members of the life saving corps to organize further their work at the State Health Exposition. The lifesaving exhibit at the exposition will | present a model beach with proper safe guards In the center of the exhibit, I demonstrations of how to break the hold j ■■f b drowning person, methods of artl- I ficial respiration and resuscitation from . suffocation will be given by members of i the corps The work will be explained j in detail by exjierts "Many persons have relied on a pul- j motor in ease of bathing accidents with the result that the victim died while they ; were waiting for the apparatus.” said Mrs Deu’-ig "It is rhe duty of al! who j enjoy wafer sports to know something of artificial respiration which does not de- j pend upon such devices” Mrs Deubig holds the State record en durance swimming by women, made last year in the Y W C A pool when she swam five and five sixteenth miles In five hours she conducted itfe-savlng
