Crown Point, Ind., April 3. (Special.) The following new case was begun in the Lake circuit court at Crown Point yesterday: 7959 Eunice A. Touche vs. Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway company. Civil. At a meeting of the officers anfl di rectors of the Commercial club yesterday afternoon It was decided to lane arastic steps against the real estate dealers who are supposed to be responsible for the influx of penniless xuieigners many of whom are now in dire destitution. The club may go so far as to have the postal inspector come ik, ary and charge the dealers with using the United Ktatea manfraud, as this Is thought to be the best way to put a stop to the practice and punish the guilty nartiea. As in the previous meeting several letters written by some of the foreigners who are dealing In real estate were read by the secretary and discussed by those present Again they reiterated to the foreigners to whom they were writing that the Steel company was employing 45,000 men and in the spring would need 75.000 mors If they purchased a lot in Gary they would be given jobs Immediately and could work as long as they desired. Responsible for Ingress. Misrepresentations of this kind served to Induce hundreds of poor foreigners to come to this city, Invest all of the mnnv whffh thpv nnauii I j ------ - w-jvj. a a real estate and rely on the dealers to get them positions. Most of them are given cards which they present at the gates of the steel mills, requesting the employment agent to put him to work and signed with some Initials. This man Joins the throng that besieges the office every morning and is pushed to one side like the rest of them without explanation or argument. This practice is known to be the cause of the everIncreasing destitution in the city and

GET JOBS FOR THE GUAR- 111 Beginning Tomorrow South End Center Will Act as Employment Agency. . IM INQUIRIES AMONG POOR Also Persons Wanting Help Made Application for it at Settlement Headquarters. " Beginning tomorrow the South End Center will endeavor to furnish wash and scrub women to anyone about town who desire women for this class of work. This announcement Is made as the result of the number of inquiries that are being made each day at the club rooms for work by the poor women throughout the South Chicago district and also by women who desire their services for that class of work. . . In speaking of the matter vesterdav Miss Grace Darling said "Recently we have been called to the phone a numoer or times each day bv women who either want work or women to do work for -them, asking If We could rpwim. mend any honest and trustworthy person to them. In th past we have been compelled to answer their inquiries with a "no" but from now on, we wil take the names of all aDDlicants who desire workers or who want worK, and after looking them up will place them to our best advantage. Will be Big Undertaking. The adies In charge of the South End Center will be no small task, but th ladies say they will use their best efrorts to make their latest branch a success. No charge will be made for the service rendered the working wom en ana no charge will be made to those who are furnished women for work, hence the South End Center are mak ing nothing but are merely doing this too, in a measure, take care of the worKing class of women. Since the organization of the local institution It has done much for South Chicago. They have taken care of the destitute. They have offered their sor vices in looking out for the wavward girls and for children who get the habit of playing truant from school beveral members of the club recontiv appeared before Captain Halpin of the oouin nicago rorce and volunteered their services in watching out for trn ants, their aid was accepted and now instead oi arresting a boy for not attending school he is taken In tow by the club and is shown the folly of not going to school. Since the self-deputized truant officers began their work they have cared for numerous cases of delinquent children and without an t ception all they have taken in charge or are now attending school regularly and taking an interest in their srhnni work. Another thing established by me ciud is a Toung Men's Non-Par-tisan political club which was formulated for the purpose of getting the future voters acquainted with the method of voting and getting them to take an interest In politics. This club is in charge of Prosecuting Attorney Walter Krimball and several other local men and also two young gentlemen from the Chicago University. Old clothes made like new. J. M.

To help relieve the situation it was decided yesterday to establish an offlce in the Phillips building where a list of all the contractors in the city would oe oDtamed and they would then apyiy lor ineir labor throueh this nffw This the steel company has also agreed iu uo. Married Men First. The benefit derived from this plan is to give labor first to the married men with families, and then to give wont to the unmarried men with nref erence given to those who live In Garv. No charges will be made to either con tractor or laborer. It is hoped to relieve the situation In this manner bv giving the Gary workman the first op portunity and gradually culling out those living outside of the city. Many reports of destitution were turned in to the club vesterdnv. nnd tn the health officials and the police. In many instances it was found that some of the men and their families ar liv. ing on rye bread and cayenne pepper to stimulate their bodies. Every morning a throng of Deonle can h Bppn foorl. ing from the garbage boxes back of icamurants line a pack of hungry wolves. Families In the smith onri am living ten and twelve in a room, with scarcely a thing to eat Conditions are getting more and mnr ariAng oa Immediate action will have to be taken iur tneir relief.
