"United States now is not in possession of that physical force that would produce restraining fear in an enemy," he continued. "I have taken this position from the facts. There is cause for apprehension that the United States in an unprepared condition may be forced to defend herself from injustice of enemies. "There are two principle means for securing sufficient physical strength to stand off enemies, namely the standing army and the citizen soldiers."

"Detailed plans only will permit of free and open competition, and the general plans actually eliminate that kind of competition. Many a surveyor has been hoodwinked through the National's plan of doing business because of its plausibility." Explains His Actions. In his explanation of the charges made relative to the Cedar Grove bridge construction in Franklin county, Mueller said: "Governor RalstOn's office sent me soon after the 1913 flood into various counties. One pf these was Franklin county where the flood had demolished a center pier of a bridge and damaged the east abutment. We raised the abutment eight feet and extended the wings. The Indiana Bridge company out of. a large number of bidders secured the contract. We had saved $8,000 on the levee construction when we found timbers rotting beneath the abutment, so new plans were drawn at the instance of the county commissioners. A sub-contract was let by the Indiana bridge company which Osborn represents. Foreman Gets Sore. "The foreman was angered at me because I stopped his work for several days on the center pier and he carried the false story of my drawing up plans for a span five feet too short, to Osborn. Osborn never saw the job, knew nothing about it and the county commissioners of Franklin county will uphold me in these statements. I am now

in the same county. Mueller denied emphatically that he had ever - told anyone that he was working officially for Hamilton. Ohio, Cincinnati,.-Dayton or -Columbus.- He explained that he was employed as -a private consulting engineer In a bridge constructon at Hamilton and in the interest of that work had to go to Dayton and Columbus where approval to certain details were made by the Miami Conservacy Board and the State Highway Commission. "Albert Anderson himself told me that I did not make any such state ment to him" declared MuellerAnswering the Smith bridge charges Mueller said the worst thing an engineer can do is to become theoretical and said that he deviated at times to be more practical and efficient. He said that if he specified bolts instead of rivets in the Smith bridge it would not have made any difference in the strength of the bridge and could not have meant more than $1.50 in money. Denies Davis Charge. He refuted the statements of D. L. Davis, Elkhart engineer, by denying that he had ever induced Jeffries of the interurban company not to contribute to the Davis temporary bridge plan. He supported his contention in

courses of study in Germany, the Boston Institute of Technology. Purdue university, the Manual Training high school and the German Lutheran high school in Indianapolis; his employment by the Santa Fe railroad. Union Traction company, of Indiana. Indianapolis Southern railroad and other practical experience. -' Mueller was interrogated by his attorney, Will Reller. He made a good witness for himself and was apparently frank and open on all questions submitted to him. Y Before the close of the hearing Wilfred Jessup, attorney for Levi Peacock, county surveyor, asked him if he believed the door of competition was wide open for bids when the consulting engineer drew up the general "plans for a bridge and Mueller replied in the affirmative. .. A" Jessup maintained despite Mueller's assertion, his belief that the magnitude of the proposed building of two bridges here at a cost of $400,000 .warranted the commissioners calling in the advice of outside consulting engineers. 3C .SA 5 - S
