State Board of Accounts Investigates Commission
t v ribt l'-'i:. News-Tim- I'.urean.) INDIANA PO LIS, Nov. CO. It beeame known Sunday that the state board of accounts is making an investigation Into the affairs surrounding the proposer! plan of the state highway commission and the county commissioners of Ripley county for the contsruction of a highway to be known as a part of the OsgoodVersailes road for which bids were opened this week. The affair is said to be one In which the antipathy of the state highway commission to any other typo of road than a cement concrete road built according to its own specification has been carried to the highest degree and is responsible for actions which the state board of accounts has been requested to review. At the conclusion of a long fight over the building of a road about five miles long, a court order was issued in Ripley court instructing the commissioners to proceed with the construction of a brick surface road over a certain defined route starting at the court house in Ripley county. The construction of this road was halted by the government policy of holding up all improvements during the war. When the war ended the project was revived and it is Raid that coincident with its revival the cement concrete interests got busy in an effort to prevent the use of brick in this construction. Bulb! One Mile. The state highway commission, under the direction of L. H. Wright, npreed to build approximately one mile of this road as a part of the stato highway system. For some unknown reason the state highway does not look with, favor on any other building material than cement concrete and of course this bit of construction was intended to be cement concrete. Arrangements were then mad? for Ripley county to carry out the construction of the rest of the proposed five mile highway and it Is declared that in this connection the state highway commission overstepped Its lej.' al authority. Advice from Versailes Is that the highway commission sent its engineers Into Rip!ey county to lay out the specifications for the part of the mad that Ripley county was to build and that. In accordance with the usual practice of the highway engineers, they laid out specificat 'ons for the construction of the road by tho use of cement concrete. Rexvivo Rids. Rids for the construction of the CONGRESS KAY DECLARE PEACE Anti-Ratification Senators to Introduce Measure at Convening of Senate. RY LOUTS LUDLOW. Nw-Tlnie Washington Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. CO. Members of the United States senate who are opposed to the ratification of the- existing treaty of peace with Germany in any form have definitely decided on a program which they will ask the senate to adopt when the body reconvenes today. They cesire to have congress adopt a joint resolution declaring that a state of peace exists between the United States and Germany. It will be agreeable to them to have the resolution on this subject which Sen. Lodge introduced Just before adjournment of the recent session changed from a concurrent to a Joint resolution. They agree that there will be no question about a joint resolution having to go to the president for his approval or disapproval should congress adopt it. They are not only willing, but anxious, they say, to put the responsibility for bringing the war to an end in this way on tho president. Wilson's Sentiment. No doubt exists in their minds as to what the president would do with such a resolution. He said to Sen. Fall of New Mexico nearly three months ago In answering a question propounded by the New Mexico senator that he would never become a party to such a disgraceful act. Thot who want the treaty killed knew that if they should be able to get tho modified Lodge resolution through the two houses of congress and the president should veto it congress would not pass it In spite of the veto. They knew very well that a two-thirds' vote to override the veto could not be obtained in cither house. So the whole purpose of the program of the senators who are looking about for additional ways to I revent the ratification of the treaty is to create a situation which would enable them to say that congress adopted a joint resolution declaring that a state of peace exists between United States and Germany and lores': Wilson vetoed it.

stato'a part of th- road and for Ripley county's part of the road were received last Thursday at a Joint session of the highway commission and tho commissioners of Ripley county. All tho bids for the work were confined entirely to cement construction as it was intended they should do, even though bids for brick and asphalt construction were permitted. About the time the bids were opened attention was called to the order of circuit court directing the construction of the road by tho use of brick and specifically stating where the road should start and where it should end. Announcement was then made at the office of the state highway that "because of some complications the attention of the state board of accounts had been called to the matter." The state board accounts is not interested In wheth .r the road is built of brick or coment. But It is Interested In whether or not the state highway commission lent Its engineers to Ripley county for the purpose of preparine plans and specifications for a cement concrete road when the court had already ordered that a brick road be built. No Law. It is pointed out that there Is nothing in the highway commission law that authorizes the commission to do the engineering for a county that is desirous of obtaining a road and that of state highway engineers were employed in this work they were paid for their time by the entire Btato and were working wholly for Ripley county, a condition that makes it proper for the state board to charge their salaries and expenses against the official. who directed them to do this work. The question of whether or not the state highway commission and the commissioners of Ripley county can nullify the court's order for brick road by he expediency of having the state construct one mile of the road and the county the rest and make It all cement concrete. Is one that will probably have to be settled by the court. The most' interesting feature of the whole episode is the fact that through tho commission) action another Indiana road that It was expected would be built of brick has been saved to the cement manufacturers who are now furnishing cement for more than $4.0-00,000 worth of roads, all of cement and all of type that Is known na tho cheapest possible hard road.

MOUNT HI 5. Hoover Makes Public Report of Expenditures Incurred During the War. 'NEW YORK, Nov. 30 The American relief administration will return to tho United States government approximately $88,750,000 of the $100000,000 appropriated by congress for relief In Europe, according to preliminary reports of Herbert Hoover on- the work of the administration made public Sunday night. The money will be returned in the form of treasury notes from the various European governments who shared In the relief work. The remainder of the fund was expended for supplies which were "donated on a charitable basis for which there will be no reimbursement." Tho report was eent In duplicate to Pres't Wilson and to congress on Nov. 2 4. Because of the foreign exchange situation in "Europe, Mr. Hoover said, it was impossible at the present time to "obtain reimbursement in cash" for the supplies contracted for by the various governments in the relief areas. Poland Gets Supplies. The relief supplies purchased by the administration, according to the report, were "all of American origin, and none of the appropriation therefore was expended outside of the United Ptates, except to some extent for local freight and handling charges in Europe. Poland received $57,000.000 worth of relief supplies, or more than half of the money spent. Armenia was second on the list, receiving I10.0-O0.000 in supplies. Other countries receiving relief were Czecho-Slovakla, Russia, Esthonla, Lithuania and Finland. The supplies that were donated were for the relief of "under-nourished children." This service, the report declared, has "contributed greatly to stabilizing tho situation in those countries, aside from the physical benefits to more than three million under-nourished children, to whom tho war threatened serious and permanent Injury." In addition to tho children's relief, the administration paid approximately $530,000 for freight and expenditures on old clothing contributed by the American Red Cross and commission for relief in Belgium. Mr. Hoover explained in the report that an itemized statement' of receipts and expenditures of tho administration would be delayed for some time because of "the complicated nature of the accounts," and because of the delay In the transfer of the records from London to the United States, due to the recen longshoremen's strikes. A. F. L. OFFICIAL WOULD EQUALIZE CAPITAL-LABOR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) many industries. If these matters were adequately dealt with, he added, workers could lay by savings to care for their families In times of stress or idleness. Answering If labor desired "to participate' In the control and management of industry and share In profits and losses," Mr. Woll said profit-sharing as thus far proposed was "a sham and a fraud" and a "cloak for excess profits." The suggestions as to sharing profits and losses "borders on the absurd," said Woll, who added: "If the workers are to share in the losses, then let us establish shop Soviets and let the worker also manage and operate the entire industries," he said. "American labor demands only a voice and control In such industrial matters and management as affect their Interests as workers .nd which are determined largely by their contracts of employment." IT.

LIPS TO PORT Passing Vessels Refuse Assistance to Helpless Boat Much Misery liy Associated .Pres: HALIFAX, N. S., Nov. 30. The German barque, Paul, believed to have foundered with all on board in mid-Atlantic when calls for help either could not or would not be answered by passing vessels, arrived here Sunday, the first German craft to enter Halifax since the outbreak of the war. She brought with her a taie of misery endured at sea that was ended by the gallantry of the captain of a British steamship whose former vessel had been torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine and her crew fired upon. The Paul is commanded by Capt. Wulf Krueger, pilot of a German seaplane that operated In the North sea during the war. His craft passed through several gales. Her sails were torn to tatters and her masts carried away; passing ships refused to take her In tow and when the fate cf her crew seemed to be sealed tho British steamship Manchester Merchant came along and Capt. Musgrave sent out wireless calls and gave other assistance. No Charts. Capt. Krueger brought his disable! craft to port without proper charts and was Ignorant of the coast. His wife was on the vessel. On Nov. 1 the Paul was forced to lay to for four hours in a violent gale in which a sailor fell from the foremast and broke a leg and an arm. The British steamship Idaho took him off but the German skipper said he could not Induce passing vessels to take him In tow. His barque lost 21 sails and reached port under a main sail, a lower top sail and a foresail. The Paul is a four-masted barque. She left Hamburg Oct.
