In the Memorial day order issued recently by Alexander P. Ashbury, department commander of the Indiana G. A. R., a protest is registered against the growing tendency to desecrate the day. In the order. Commander Ashburr, says: "We deplon; Its desecration by the Immoral and unthinking, who enjoy the blessings our noble dead secured to thorn, and hope to see this element controlled by law who so disregard its sacredness by making it a day of frivolity and abandon. "It Is weil that on this, the 43rd anniversary of the founding of this day by -the grand army, that we. lay asija our work, and together with our wives, our sons, our daughters and our grandchildren and friends, gather around the sleeping dust of our beloved comrades, bedew graves with our tears, strew them with flowers In memory of not only what they were, but what they did to keep our flag In the sky, thali that for which it stands should not perish from the earth. As we scatter flowers on the graves of our comrades let us not forget the faithful wife who walked so long by our side who has finished life's work, nor the grayhaired father and the loving, trusting mother who gave these sons to their country when every day was one of carnage and every hour was an hour of death. But they died not In vain. "Posteommaders we urge' upon you early to arrange your commutes so that no grave of a comarde shall b3 neglected and none forgotten. Feeble though many of us now are. we hav-s patriotic sons who have banded together and stand with outstretched arms to help us ere our sun goes down. Welcome them to this service. We need the help they so freely offer. Noble sons of worthy sires many our mantle rest upon them." BICKNELL IS PAROLED. TIMES lllllKjtl', AT STATU CAPITAL, Indianapolis, May 6.

MAY CALL GRAND JURY It Is understood that In an effort to clean up the criminal docket of the Lake superior court. Judge Lawrence Becker has called a session of the grand jury to meet next term. This grand jury will be asked to investigate a number of old cases on the docket and determine whether or not they shall be tried or disposed of. The purpose of this is to take the responsibility of nolle prosslng cases from the shoulders of the prosecutor and place it in the hands of the grand Jury. There are a lot of old cases in which it Is believed that there is little or no chance of securing a conviction. It will be this class of cases that will 'be considered fersonville. on showing by the reformatory physician. Dr. H. II. Smith, that the men were in danger of dying if left in the institution. The prisoners released were Ralph. Green, sentenced in September, 1909, for petit larceny; Gorge Mack, sentenced from Lake county last January, and Jesse Blcknell, sentenced from Lake (county last October. Mack and Blcknell . were suffering from tuberculosis, but the nature of Green's illness was not set out in the physician's report. 1IE0 BY SEVERAL Gary Republicans are now eagerly eyeing the next big plum which will drop from the political tree next spring, when Postmaster" John W. Call's term of office .expires. The office now pays $2, 00, next year It will probably be worth $3,200, and before the expiration of the next incumbant's term It is expected that it will rank with the Indianapolis office and pay $6,000. The cause of the attractive salary attached to the office has caused a number of Garyites to court Congressman Crumpacker whom President Taft will permit him to name the next postmaster. It is' more than likely that John W. Call will be a candidate for re-appointment. Among other men in Gary who will possibly seek the office and who have been prominently Identified with the part for the past year are: F. S. Bowlby, Clyde Hunter, Judge A. C. Huber, Joseph Cothery and F. L. Welscheimer. Realty Market Not Active. The real estate market for the past week has not been as active as might be expected.

PAPEHHANGER STEALS A DIAMOND RING Police Do Quick Work in Locating Jacob Fox, Accused of Theft. Jacob Fox, a paperhanger by trade, working at the home of Mrs. Peter Crumpacker, made an attempt to get away with a diamond ring which he stole before he left work this noon, but was captured about 1:15 this after-, noon. Mrs. Crumpacker missed the ring about half an hour after Fox left the house and her suspicion were directed to him. She notified Chief Austgen and Officer Bunde and Einsele were put on his trail. He was found in a second-hand store on States street and had the ring in his hand. Whether he was in the act of disposing of it there is not known, for It Is thought that he was going to try and sell the ring. He was placed under arrest, and while he was being taken to the station he made an attempt to throw the ring away, but he was caught just as he was preparing to flip it with his thumb. At the station he was searched and two rings were found on htm, a $2.50 gold piece and about $16 in money. AH these articles were carefully wrapped up in little pieces of paper. After questioning him he broke down and confessed that he stole the ring, but did not take anything else. Officer Einsele stated that he has known Fox for the past sixteen and that he was a slick proposition. He claimed he has been on the watch for him for the past six months, as he was suspicious of him. The last time Einsele came across him was about six months ago and that he has not been able to find him since. Fox lives with his mother at 227 State street, and has been In Hammond about a year and a half, before that he made occasional trips to Hammond, but did not stay here long. He wasemplo'yed by A. B. Carringon, painting contractor, about a week, for whom he has done small job work. Fox did some work for Mrs. Crumpacker some time ago, and It was done so well that she wanted Mr. Carrigon to get him again. He was located and went to work there the first of the week. He will be tried under the charge of grand larceny and his case will come up Monday morning before Judge Barnett. THERE'S A CHA.VCE JHAT YOC Ol'GHT SOT TO POSTPONE THAI -SHOPPING" AXY LOGGER.

The spelling contests between the pupils of the 6-A grades yesterday was well attended. arid a good deal of interest was shown among the pupils. The children have all worked hard to have the grade in their schools win the laurels, and have been coached dai ly. The results are as follows: The pupils of the Irving school went to the Lincoln school and the contest was won by the Lincoln school pupils. The Central and Washington school pupils at the Washington school was a tie and another contest will be held in the future to decide the tie. The Franklin pupils at the Lafayette school 'was won by the Franklin pupils. It is expected in the future that the winners in each school will hold a contest to decide who hase the best spellers. The teachers have all worked hard to make the contest a success and should be complimented on the way the pupils took part. (Special to Tub Times.) Indiana Harbor, May 6. While enthusiasm over today's game between Whiting and Indiana Harbor is at fever heat, the local fans are not forgetful jof the fact that there Is to be another 'greatest game ever pulled off in Lake j county" tomorrow on the borne ground. , . This game is between Indiana HarJ bor and Gary. Incidentally from ilanager Puck Velmer of the Garl ball team, comes the announcement that 'Gary Is to have a league ball park of Its own. He was not prepared to state just where it would be located, but declared that negotiations were under way whereby Gary within two months would be the proud possessor of a finely equipped ball park, which would take little if any odds of anything in these parts. Tonight, win or lose, Indiana Harbor fans will be enthusiastically discussing the Harbor team's prospects of whipping Gary. It' Is conceded that th steel city has a strong team, but there are few local lovers of the national game who would have the temerity to oven suppose for argument's sake, that Gary has the ghost of a show. Tomorrows game will be just as good a game, there is little reason to doubt, and will cut just as much lee in the contest for the ennant. as today's. There will be fewer frills, as the ball park will will have been opened and besides It will -be Sunday, but from a local standpoint there is no reason why there should not be as large a turning out of the fans from hereabouts as th; most sanguine fan had predicted for today's game, provided the weather permits. La Vendor Cigars are pronounced exaeptionally good by all smokers.

fG !H E. CHICAGO OH INDICTMENT CHARGE

Jewish People Are to As semble En Masse at Auditorium. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, May 6. The East Chicago 'reform wave" which has resulted in charges and counter charges, and Indictments galore is about to have a large sized crimp put in it. The Jewish people who have been given the credit of starting upheave!, are to assemble in mass meeting tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock In the auditorium lodge rooms, Indiana Harbor, and unless all signs fall they will repudiate the movement, which many of them declare Is a "two man movement" so far as the Jews are concerned. The claim that the movement wa caused "by a gang of politicians to for ward the granting of a certain fran chise, that it was not in good faith in ary sense and that these same politicians realizing their mistake, are now ashamed to be known in it and are making It apear that the Jewish people are causing all the trouble. In explaining the movement. Dr. J. Goldman, who is one of the promoters of the reactionary movement said thii morning: "The Jewish people of Indiana Har bor and East Chicago, with two excep tions are friends and admirers of the mayor, city clerk and other officials who have been the victims of this unjust persecution. We believe that these officials are honorable and respectable citizens. They have lived here, all oi" tliem, for a great many years and have the admiration and respect of the Jewish people generally. "It Is unjust to credit the Jews witli the so-called reform movement, when as a matter of fact as a body condemnit, instead of approving it. There are only two Jews In the whole town who are In any way connected with it, and their attempt to get even with Chief Lewis for alleged wrongs, we believe li against good judgement and Is creating ill- feeling amongst the citizens. "As a matter of fact Chief of ollco Lewis, we believe. Is treating all the eople including the Jews, fairly and conscientiously." The meeting tomorrow was originally called for three o'clock but the hour has been changed to 10 in the morning on account of the baseball games in the afternoon. E. CHICAGO 10 PLAY MUG 0)1 SOW (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, May 6. East Chicago's baseball season opens at Whiting on Sunday and all local fans are on tiptoe In anticipation of a grand victory for their home team. Because of the fact that Whiting and Indiana Harbor meet today in battle royal, the game at Whiting between East Chicago and Whiting takes on added significance. Whatever the outcome of today's game at Indiana Harbor, the result of tomorrow's game will be watched with an unusual degree of interest. Should the Harbor lose to Whiting East Chicago will be the more keen to slaughter the Oil city team. Should the Karbor win, the East Chicago boys will consider it up to them to show Indiana Harbor that their team hfls nothing on East Chicago. Then the game between Whiting and East Chicago Is bound to be a good one there Is no "reason to doubt. Although entering the Northern Indiana Baseball association at the eleventh hour, President Abe Ottenheimer and Manager George Hartley have lost no opportunity to secure the best talent possible within the prescribed salary limit. The East Chicago team has proven Its mettle in the practice series, never having lost a game although it has been up against some good aggregations. DOMESTIC TROUBLE CWESJlfi'S -HAVE A. W.

I. CHARGES THAT

FRA

BCHISE WOULD THROTTLE CITY

The Gary & Interurban Railway Company would like to call the atten tion to the people and city officials of Gary to a most astounding section of the proposed Calumet United Railways franchise the true meaning of which seems to have been over-looked. Under this section Mr. Gelst will be able to" sit down complacently in his hand somely furnished offices in hlladelphla and wait for Gary to grow. Section 19 stipulates that the grantee; that Is Mr. Gelst and his associates, "shall commence work within six months from the date when it has secured franchises In Whiting, East Chicago, Miller, in the county of Lake, in the county of Porter and in the towns of Chesterton and Porter, and shall complete the work so as to connect with the above within three years 'rom the granting of such franchise rights." It Is difficult to understand how a section like that In a fifty year street raliway franchise. In a city, which, as he himself has said, in fifty years will Lave a tributary population of a million people, could have passed the keen ?yes of Mayor Knotts. Mr. Knotts has claimed repeatedly. and rightly so. the granting of the Gary & Interurban franchise as the chief glory of his administration, lor the sufficient reason that it gave the city a superb street car service and gave the working people eight tickets for a quarter. Yet this proposed Gelst franchise granting right in every section of the city on a dozen or more streets. through some over-sight, will make the people pay a five cent fare. But that U not the worst of It. Mr. Geist can build or not as he pleases and build wren he pleases. He can wait for Gary to grow and while he Is waiting the Gary & Interurban, Gary's own street railway company will be barred from extending its lines and giving needed car service to the growing city. You can not make us believe that Mayor Knotts has apprsc.:ated what Section 13 means. It means this. Whiting, East Chicago, even the little village of Miller, will be irlven control over Gary's streets and Gary's development. It is very doubtful If Geist can get a franchise of any kind in Whiting. By refusing t grant Geist a franchise. Whiting can Indefinitely postpone the building of a street railway in Gary. For under the revelation. The elder Telleys separa ted less than a fortnight ago, and It was following this that Mrs. Telley confided to her son that F. W. Telley TO not his father, although young Mr Telles has been led to believe that he was, a'.l his life. J It appears that Mrs. Telley. then Mrs Allen, married Mr. Telley when her son was two years old. The boy's mother thought It would be better for him to believe that her second husband was her child's father. He was brought up In this belief and It was only day be fore yesterday that Mrs. Telley toll young Telley the real facts. The young man has decided to adopt his own father's name and will here after be known as A. W. Allen. WILL CHRISTEN CLUB There will be a meeting of the prospective members of the new country club at the clubhouse near Tolleston this afternoon, at which the new clftb will be organized and named. The meeting will be attended by between 100 and 125 persons from all of the cities of the Calumet region. It is expected that following the organization that a number of Important matters regarding the management of the club will be taken up. TESTIFY BEFORE JURY. Officers Richard Priest, David Wilson and Court Bailiff Peter Jurie. returned from Indianapolis last night, where they went to testify before the federal grand Jury now In session at the state capital, against Thomas Racke, who was arrested in Gary on April 10 for counterfeiting. It Is expected that several days will pays before it will be known what disposition the grand jury makes in Racke's case.

franchise work need not be commenced

until six months after that Whiting franchise has been granted. Think of it! With all respect to the Mayor and Board of Public Works of Gary, they could not have appreciated the true meaning of that section or they never would have endorsed it. The franchise does not even stats that Geist must apply for a franchise) in Whiting or in little Miller. By neglecting to apply for a franchise, he can postpone the building period In definitely some future time when. Gary, shall have a large population. To be sure Section 1 of the- Geist franchise provide that "rights herein granted shall at the end of three years from acceptance of same, cease on all streets where work has not commenced." Does the Mayor, who has been so active in promoting the interests of Gary in the past realize that even under the most favorable interpretation of that clause and of this franchise, Mr. Geist can wait three years before doing a stroke of work and then by laying a few tiea on the streets that ha thinks he may need some time in the future, can go back to his Philadelphia, office and watt on contentedly, until the growth of Gary catehes up to his fran-i chise? Why, the fabled dog in tha manger ts not a circumstance to thii case. The Gary & Interurban Company in calling attention to these defects which have been over-looked,, because we believe that nothing is too good for Gary, and we believe that the expenditure of more than a million dollars in. pioneer times, to give the city a nucleus of a comprehensive street car system. entitles us to some consideration. Gary leads the world in many things; even in its street railway, because we have made a success of the three cent fare in Gary, where poor Toom Johnson failed in Cleveland. Why go backward? Why make the people pay a five cent fare? Why tie up the streets of the city indefinitely? Why let Whiting, East Chicago and Miller say why Gary shall have othar street railway ties. Why not make any street railway that builds In Gary, pay into the city treasury a share of its earnings? The Gary & Interurban must. We must pay five percent of our net earnings toward the expenses of this city, and it is right and proper. Under the Gelst franchise if it passes, the city will get nothing but trouble and double car fare. If any tax payer reads this and would like to keep the city from making such, a mistake, he should take pains to explain to his alderman what the Geist franchise means. Nobody in Gary wants a franchise that gives any man or any set of men power to arrest the development of the city. GARY & INTERURBAN RY. CO.
