LETCONTRACT
FOR SIXTEEN
NEWBRIDGES
Highway Commission Starts
Work on Million-Dollar
Program.
Contracts for the construction of six
teen bridges, a part of the million-dollar
bridge program of the State highway
commission, have been let to lowest bid
ders in each instance. The bids wer*"
uniformly lower than the estimates made
by engineers.
Some difference arose as to the lowest
bidder on what is known as the Hazel
ton bridge over White River on the
Dixie-Bee line road in Knox County.
This bridge is the largest to be con
structed this year and the contract was
awarded to the Stein Construction Com
panv of Milwaukee, Wis., whose bid was
$328,767.21.
Thirty-three firms bid on the Hazleton
bridge which is to be an 1.800 feet steel
structure with concrete approaches. The
average bid on the project was $303,503.75
and the engineers’ estimate was $341,-
90*81.
The bridge contracts awarded were:
Five bridges in Spencer County, all on
French Lick trail, to David Jenkins of
Terre Haute $12,972.
Bridge in Porter Connty across Salt
Creek, to Cleary & Hailey of Cincinnati,
$20,373.25.
Steel bridge in Noble County on Lin
coln highway, to Ralph Spurgeon of
Ligonier. $4,976.12.
Two bridges in Knox County, one steel
and one concrete, on St. Louis to Louis
ville highway, to Vincennes Bridge Com
pany of Vincennes, $8,477.24.
Concrete arch bridge in Ripley County,
on Michigan road, to Phil S. Hank of
Waynetown. $3,441.09.
Steel bridge in Grant County on Ma
rion to Huntington road, to Kepler &
Kepler of Greentown, $9,485.90.
Concrete bridge in Jennings County on
the Madison to Indianapolis road, to J.
H. Thornburg of Boonv-lile, for $3,595.52.
Concrete arch bridge in Dearborn
County on the Brookville road, to Ed
Hine & Sons of Harrison, Ohio, $6.41694.
Concrete arch bridge in Franklin
Connty on Brookville road, to J. H.
Thornburg, Boonviile, 57.561.44.
One bridge in Switzerland Connty on
the Vevay to Madison road, to J. H.
Thornburg, Boonviile, $4,897.23.
Contracts for construction work on a
number of State roads and for various
kinds of road materials of an approxi
mate cost of $1,000,000 are to be awarded
by the commission within a few days.
WARNS MINERS
AND OPERATORS
ON AGREEMENTS
(Continued From Fage One.)
the law and for which indictments have
been found, shall not be repeated.”
These references are to the future, but
no intimation is contained in the state
ment as to what action wili be taken
by the prosecution of the 225 defendants
named in the pending indictments.
STATEMENT GIVEN
CAREIIL SCRUTINY.
The typewritten statements were taken
to Mr. Daugherty in his room at the
Claypool Hotel by a member of his
large retinue “for correction,” it was
explained to the newspaper men wait
ing in the hallway outside the door.
About twenty minutes later, with only
two apparent corrections, they were
brought out and distributed. Almost im
mediately before the statement could
be read carefully, the Attorney General
appeared and headed for the elevator in
a great hurry to get to his train. Be
cause of this fact it was impossible to
question him at any length as to Inter
pretations of certain parts of the state
ment or as to any further action he
might contemplate.
He was very cordial, but in a burry,
and he stopped only long enough In the
hallway to make an emphatic denial of
published statements that his action in
this case might in any manner be af
fected by political or personal affilia
tions with any of the defendants.
Ever since Mr. Daugherty became a
member of President Harding's cabinet
there has been a steadily growing belief
in many quarters that he eventually
would take steps toward the dismissal of
the cases pending before Judge Anderson.
It was to the publication of these re
ports that he took exception.
To see that nothing illegal is done at
any conference, the Government may
take a hand in such a meeting for the
statement reads: “A little more consid
eration. I may say. will be given by the
Government in connection with whatever
agreement, if any, is entered into, while
the negotiations are taking place. This
may prevent embarrassments and pro
ceedings afterward.”
The statement follows:
HERE IS HIS
STATEMENT.
“When I came here I had not deter
mined that the Government should in
stitute any proceeding or take any action,
legal or otherwise. Perhaps no legal ac
tion by the Government will be neces
sary in the coal strike dispute. It must
be distinctly understood that the Gov
ernment at no time has opposed a meet
ing between the miners and the operators
and at sueh meeting doing any lawful
thing. The Government supposed that
there would be a meeting some time long
enough before March 31 for the parties
to agree upon a legitimate program, but
there is no way the Government can
force a meeting between citizens, nat
ural or corporate, who have the discre
tion to transact their own business with
in lawful lines.
“The Government did not oppose a
meeting, nor did It object to any lawful
thing being done at a meeting, but the
Government will not permit an unlawful
thing to be done at any meeting that Is
held at any time and the Government
will not trade its right and duty to pros
ecute violations of the law, no matter,
how much peace is promised.
“The Government is too big, too digni
fied. and too fair to barter its obligations

to see that t e law is observed and that
citizens d' not do things that are uncon
scionab' and n violation of the law
to the detriment of the consuming public
dependent upon this necessary product.
GOVERNMENT TO
KEEP EYES OPEN.
“Whether a meeting Is held or not,
the Government will maintain successful
ly by any proceeding that may be neces
sary that agreements, heretofore reached
between the operators and miners, year
after year for many years, which are
violations of the law for which indict
ments have been found, shall not be re
peated. Repetition of these things will
be to the disadvantage of the Govern
ment's policy, because they are a vio
lation of the law and work a hardship
upon the consuming public which is
more interested, and more legitimately
interested in coal production than the
operator or the miner, or both of them.
The resources of the country are for
the benefit of the people now living and
must be husbanded for succeeding gen
erations. Those who are for the time
being engaged in the pursuit of produc
ing the product are entitled, while so
producing that product for the benefit
of the people, to fair compensation on
the one hand to the miners, and a fair
return on the other hand to the operator.
But that third and most important party
is entitled to secure the product, which
wag intended for humanity, and is so
necessary to industrial and human life,
at a fair an dreasonablc and commercially
possible price. No 'horse play’ or pre
tended misconception on the part of
anybody will change the Government's
position in this regard.
“As to the indictments pending in this
court for violations of the law on the
part of many of these parties heretofore,
I have only this to say, that certain
things charged in the indictment were,
violations of the law, and the Government
will not, by trade or compromise, consent
to them being done again. If many of the

Tents and Awnings
Indianapolis-made tents and awn
ings grace the summer camps of north
ern-most Washington, Michigan and
Maine and their brilliant stripings and
markings lend zest to the winter re
sorts of the sunny southland. Circus
and carnival tents, too, in their
wanderings throughout the land, bear
the Indianapolis-made label. Tourists,
motoring from coast to coast, find pro
tection from weather and heat under
coverings made in our city.
Each year over 60,000 tents, awn
ings and coverings are made in thi3
city and their retail value exceeds one
half million dollars. These products
are shipped throughout the United
States and Canada.
Over 380,000 square yards of can
vas—enough to cover the center of In
dianapolis between Illinois and Penn
sylvania streets and Washington and
Ohio streets—are used each year in the
tent and awning industry here.

things done at these meetings, time and
time again, are not repeated, miners will
get a fair return for their labor, operators
will get a fair return on their invest
ments, and the consumer will get the
product he is entitled to at a fair price.
COUNTRY TIRED
OF COMPROMISES.
“The country is tired of compromises,
especially when the compromise Is so ex
pensive to the country and the consuming
public. We are in favor of a settlement
of these propositions on fair lines and in
a positive way. In order that the Gov
ernment will not be compelled to inter
fere with business. The Government does
not desire to interfere, and will not in
terfere with any legitimate business
transacted in a legitimate way, but the
Government will not let illegitimate busi
ness interfere with it, meeting or no
meeting.
“For many years, as the time expired
for these so-called meetings, the country
was the innocent victim of these bi
annual meetings and pretended virtuous
adjustments. The Government recog
nizes that stability is necessary, and is
willing to protect each of these parties
in the performance of legitimate and
lawful pursuits on the one hand, and to
prevent their doing an unlawful and im
proper thing to the detriment of the
Government, and all of the people of the
country, on the other hand. A Utile
more consideration 1 may say will be
given by the Government in connection
with whatever agreement, if any. Is
entered into, while the negotiations are
taking place. This may prevent em
barrassments and proceedings after
wards.
“I am returning to Washington this
evening, perfectly satisfied with the sit
uation, so far as the Government is con
cerned. I have had iatisfactory con
ferences with Judge Anderson and
qthers, and if anything is done here iri
connection with any court proceeding it
will, of course, be done in open court.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 12—But
ono word stands between Mrs. Franz
Frey and her self-sought death.
It is the magic word “mother.”
When Franz Frey died Mrs. Frey took
a slow acting poison so she might Join
him in the great beyond.
“There is nothing else in life,” she
said.
She left her bed to attend his funeral
after praying vainly that it be post
poned until she could die.
She lies awaiting death. Dr. J. H.

her native tongue—French—he strives to

in response and a flicker of light cornea
to her eyes.
“It will be days before the effects ot
the poison will reach their climax, Dr.
Kuser says. Not until then will it b
known whether she will live or die.
