MUSHROOM. Mich, Jan. 19ez=JohL
O. Ross, president of the chamber o:
commerce, who is conducting the in
yestigation into the bridge contract
scandal, was closeted with the bridge
committee yesterday afternoon for
three hours.
That the bridge committee OF the
board Of supervisors never advertised
the contract for extras on the Mona
Lake work. that Charles n. Wheaton
was awarded $4,000 worth OF work
without opposition, that Wheaton had
in his possession a second bond for
fulflllment OF the contract and that
the bond was not turned over TO the
bridge committee until last Saturday
afternoon, are developments in the
bridge contract scandal
The investigation into the records
of the bridge committee shows that
each member of the committee was
appointed Inspector OF one or more
jobs, and drew pay for the work. Su-
pervisor Casselman, OF Montague, has
been at different times inspector of
three jobs, all on the whitehall Mon
tague roadway.

SPECIAL AGENTS REPORT TO
SECRETARY GARFIELD THAT
EXPLORATIONS AND INDlviD-
UALs ARE THE OFFENDERS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Especial
agents have informed Secretary Gar
field. of the interior department. that
approximately sll0.O00,000 worth OF
lands in states principally west OF the
Mississippi river have been fraudu-
lently acquired within the past two

With a view TO recovering these
lands, Secretary Garfield sent letters
10 Chairman Hale and Tawney, OF the
senate and house appropriation com
mittees. respectively, asking for an
additional appropriation of 100000.
which. II granted, with that already
asked for, will give the department
$l.0O0,000 for that purpose.
The specific purpose OF the appro-
priation requested is for preventing
"depredations upon public lands, pro-
tecting public lands, examining swamp
lands, etc" 1t Is stated that there is
reasonable prospect OF recovering
much Of this alleged fraudulently &C
quired land If the appropriation Is
promptly made. IL also Is pointed out
that while a million dollars may seem
large, II Is noe one per cent OF the
commercial value of the land which
the government may hope TO recover.
Secretary Garfield also submits a
statement OF f. II. Schwartz, chief or
the field service, showing over $4,000
distinct cases OF alleged land frauds
demanding further investigation. The
number OF such cases awaiting inves
tigation by states now pending fol

A summary of most OF the larger
cases affected by charges Of fraud or
Illegally. now pending, are submitted,
but the details of identification or
names Of parties are omitted, because
Ii is stated, this would would embar-
rass further inquiry.
The additional appropriation also is
required. the secretary says, on &C.
count Of the increased demands on
the field service OF the land office, due
TO the transferring TO that division OF
much work which has been done in
the past by the secret service and the
special service OF the department OF
