If Gary's rival police department, for which an 111,000 appropriation has already been made, become a reality in a few weeks it may not have the form that its chief exponent Alderman M. N. Castleman would have for it. Some of the aldermen are balking on the naming of Charles Catey as the chief of the "detective bureau" with co-ordinate powers with Chief Martin. ' Tliey Danlk oi Catey.

Two of the aldermen declare that they knew that Castleman was to introduce the ordinance creating detect

ive and Identification bureaus, but they did not know that Cate'y was to be

chief of the former until has name was read. Hence the kick, and the chances are that if the ordinance does go through it will lack Catey's name in it.

Because of the rivalry and bitterness

The democratic ball, which was giv

be accounted for.

Secretary Richard Winkler Is In an

awful dilemma, and says he has been double-crossed from start to finish.

Attempts have been made to at

tach Mr. Winkler's automobile which he and Chief Martin made their

whirlwind campaign." The Gary

Evening Post has a claim for $110 against the democrat! party, and Mr. Winkler Is being made the "goat" for

the army of bills that now flood the secretary's office.

The bill, which was presented by

The Post, is for campaign posters printed for Chief Martin, Dick Winkler and

H. E. Corbett, candidates for county sheriff, county clerk, and joint senator, respectively. These posters once graced

every telephone and telegraph pole In

Lake county and: were even so nu

merous that a fresh supply was tacked on delivery wagons and moving vans

every day, even the .tacks and ham

mers used in -nailing the campaign

pictures to the telephone poles are unpaid for.

I am at a loss to know how to pro-

yhy I should be made the goat of the who party, when I- was so popular at

the posttrs made an"d said the bill

would be paid by the Democratic coun

ty central committee which both Mr

Corbett and Martin can prove. I ap

pealed to Mr. Gavit to help me out of the situation and be said he could give me no relief as he was in no better po

sition to pay than I, because he had scores of unpaid bills in his possession himself. "Dr. Wisner, of Indiana Harbor," continued Mr. Winkler, "was sent out by the committee to make campaign speeches at various towns. I carried the doctor seventy-five milts one 'day in the automobile and now I get bills
