MICHIGAN CITY’S MAYOR ASSAILED BY 500 TROOPS.

Michigan City, Ind., May 28.—Five hundred returned soldiers, sailors and marines, unanimously passed resolutions today refusing certificates offered them by Mayor Fred C. •Miller, of Michigan City, and requesting that he resign as general chairman of the Fourth of July committee. The soldiers assert that the mayor did not show the proper spirit • toward them at the time of their departure for the war front, that he embarrassed them while they were in the service, that he failed to show sufficient interest in them while they were away and that the city government displayed no sign of welcome when they returned. Mayor Miller was given naturalization papers, ten days ago. During the war he was arrested as an alien enemy outside his zone without a permit.
