JEW HIGHWAY PPROBE STARTED (Continued From Page 1) last summer. Others facing trial under the same Indictment are John D. Williams, director of the commission and George Bartley, former superintendent of equipment. Moses and Victor Goldberg, local junk dealers, and C. William Whaley, were indicted March 4, at the sarne time on charges of grand larceny in connection with the alleged theft of war materials which had been turned over to the commission. During the last few weeks William P. Cosgrove, another field examiner, has been at work in the office of the way commission’s revolving fund. In connection with the audit at the highway garage,, one of the principal matters which is to receive at-, tention is the question of the legality of Crawford's present employment. Some State- officials say the law creating the highway board did not contemplate full-time employment of a commissioner. The only provision of the law, they say, is for a $lO per diem allowance for commissioners when they are meeting in full board. Crawford is drawing $lO allay for every week day, and in addition, is collecting hotel expenses. Commission employes who reside at the place of their assignment are not allowed to collect expenses. Per Diem Probed Another matter which has been noted is the increasing number of days each month on w r hich certain commissioners charge per diem allowance. Although the commission meets on an average of about two days a month, one commissioner, it is said, has been charging from twelve to fifteen days a month. He recently made a per diem charge foj a Sunday and the pay warrant for that day was withheld by the State auditor, it was reported. The field examiners also will investigate the report that some attaches of the commission have sent their privately-owned automobiles to the garage and had them equipped with tires and so far have made no settlement. Automobile accessories, including motors, have been disposed of in the same way, it is charged. Locomotives in Pasture Two narrow-gauge locomotives, which cost the Government approximately $15,000, and which are standing in a woods-pasture near Putnam ville, have never been reclaimed by the commission, it is said. The beard of accounts will investigate the charge that the locomotives were ordered from the Government on the

plea that they were needed badly In Indiana highway work. It is alleged they were “farmed out” by the commission to an independent road contractor and dumped in the woods, without ever being salvaged by the commission. Although the engines were new when received by the commission, they are useless ifow, a former employe of the commission declared after viewing them. In the meantime a frenzied effort Is being made by friends of the commission to have the indictments against Williams and Crawford quashed. Considerable pressure has been brought to bear against Prosecutor William H. Remy. Remy has announced the two will not be brought to trial this year, because of a crowded court docket. If the indictments remain dormant until Jan. 1, 1927, they will become invalid through the statute of limitations. Gilliom Hires Lesh Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom said that he will not be able to participate in the prosecution, since the field examiners’ report on which the indictments were based has been impounded by court order. He announced, however, that he has retained U. S. Lesh, former attorney general, to represent the State in the suit of Otto F. Schlensk&r to recover a $50,000 check he gave the board of accounts.

the check as a “good faith” deposit, he said, when the board charged him with overcharging the highway commission on automobile parts. The check was cashed and used State. Meanwhile, it became known that Indianapolis representatives in the last Legislature have been meeting with Representatives from over the State to formulate plans for a special session to clear up the tangled affairs of the commission. "Governor Jackson, Warren T. McCray and Jim Watson, put together/ can’t stop us," a legislator declared. The Procedure While members decline to announce their procedure, It is thought Governor Jackson will receive a formal request from a majority of the House of Representatives to proclaim a special session of the General Assembly to delve into the affairs of the commission, a process halted only by Speaker Harry Leslie’s dramatic plea on the floor of the House last March. “We were determined to clear up this nasty mess during the session because we believed the people demanded It," a Marion County representative said. "However, on the assurance that the courts would proceed with the matter, we sidetracked the subject. Now we 'find there is reluctance on the part of court officials to continue and are determined to push the matter." "Both Governor Jackson and Speaker Harry L. Leslie assured me proper steps would be taken to investigate the commission, if I withdrew the resolution,” said Representative t)e Haven. He said he had been ill for some time and was not in current touch with other Marion County Representatives. Remy’* Statement State highway commissioners now under indictment will be brought to trial early In 1926, Prosecutor declared. Two major trials which precede it are those of George A. Weaver and Windsor J. Weaver, partners indicted on charges arising from alleged misconstruction of new buildings at Julietta, county hospital for the insane, and that of John Thomas Shaw, colored, accused of murdering Mrs. Helen Hager Whelchel. "I have just finished up one trial that lasted five weeks, and these coming trials will take much time and preparation,” declared Remy. “The Weaver and Shaw cases long antedate this highway case, and must be tried. The public does not realize there are more than 1.800 cases pending In Criminal Court for my office to try. It is too bad some of us are not twins so we could do more work." Remy laughed at the suggestion politics are holding up the trial. “I should think it is known by this time politics have no place in my office. When I do get to this case it will be tried thoroughly.” U. 8. Too Busy United States District Attorney Albert Ward today said the Government vWas "too busy” to investigate the highway commission. It was learned several months ago, through the United States Attorney General’s office, that the highway commission tangle was to be Investigated by the Indiana District Federal Court. No action has been taken. DON’T WANT SESSION Representative Says Investigation Is Marion County Men’s Business Bu United Press WASHINGTON. Ind., Dec., 3. "That’s their business —the Legislature might just as well let them fight It out," said Ira Mendenall. representative from Davies County when informed of the move by Marion County legislators to call an extra session of the State assembly to investigate the highway commission. “We passed on that business almost a year ago because we didn’t have enough facts. I can’t see where a special session would do much good now." “DIRTY POLITICAL TRICK” Representative Says Farm Bureau Is Back of Highway Men, Bu United Press LA PORTE, Ind., Dec. 3.—“ Just a dirty political trick,” said I.

Hull, of Hanna, joint representative of La Porte and Starke Counties and director of the Indiana farm bureau, in speaking of the move of the Marlon County delegation to get a special session of the State Legislature to investigate the State highway commission.' “fli’he farm bureau is back of Earl Crawford and John Williams,” he said.

Cravens said that if the special session is called it probably will be asked to act on the Ritter highway commission bill. This measure, sidetracked at the* last session, would give the Legislature power to oust any member of the commission. REPRESENTATIVE OPPOSED Brown and Monroe County Man Does Not Want Session. Bu United Peru* BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 3 W. D.
