Correspondence Of Associated Press
Mexico City. June 17.-Ramon Solo
rzano. Nicaraguan charge d atfalre;
here, in an announcement to the

might act as mediator in the dispute
between Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
He drew this inference from the
agreement which. he said. was signed
in Washington. December 20, 19I?. by
representatives of Mexico, the United
States ard the five Central American
republics. under which was provided
that the United States and Mexico
should use their influence to adjust
any serious disputes among the Cen

Digging Up Graft
Array Air Service Division Ac-
cused of Misuse Of Pu'
Funds During War

Washington, July 13.-Affidavits
purporting to show criminal misuse
OF public funds by the spruce produc-
ton division Of tho army air service,
collected during the past year by the
Providence Journal. have been sub
nitted to the special house committee
investigating war department eXpen-
diturcs and are being investigated by
e subcommittee Of which Representa-
tive Fcear wisconsin, is chairman.
According to q statement authorIZ-
cd today by Mr.. Fear, the affldaVlts
alle.e that contracts for spruce
production and railroad construction
on the Pacific coast were awarded un-
der TIE cost plus system to companies
which lad no practical experience in
the work, with the result that great
sums Of money were wasted. Dis
honest methods were used by the COM
panica, it is charged, to obtain larger
fees from the government.
Charges arc made,".the statement
says, that the government was sub
jecteG. under the cost plus system, to
a cost CT practically $3.50 per thousand
feet for spruce when private concerns
were procuring the same kind for
from s130 to SITS.
The ahidavits, according to the
statement, charges waste from build
ing camps in inaccessible localities,
lack Of proper care Of foodstuffs and
supplies.
Col. Bryce P. Disoue, former chief
os the spruce production, is criticised
in the affidavits for wasteful methods
and poor judgment and for having
often reversed himself in decisions.

CONSOLIDATION
RURAL SCHOOLS
SEELEY PLAN

The first experiment in consolda-
tion of rural schools in this county,
for several years strongly advocated
by County Superintendent A. P. Shib-
ley, is being considered at Seeley,
where five or six small districts may
decide in the next few months to
unite.
The districts that might be consol-
idated are Seeley, Wideawake, Elm,
florence, Westside, Dixieland and
South Fern.
In several of these districts agita-
tion is keen for the union school, as
it would permit teachers to handle
more pupils with greater efficiency,
allow payment of better salaries to
teachers and generally provide better
educational facilities for the young
people. Transportation from the out
lying districts would be handled by
the teachers themselves, who would
pick up pupils on the way to school
and leave them at their homes on the
return trip.
The Seeley Chamber of Commerce,
to which body the matter has been
submitted, recently named commit
tee composed of DR.. E. Harley, E. G..
Shellhorn and A. R. Ferguson to feel
out the sentiment of residents of each
of the school districts.
The Seeley Farm Center is also eX-
pected to take up the matter.
