CASTLE HAS NEW TROUBLES Alderman M. N, Castleman, who runs affairs In the sixth ward of Gary and lives most of the time on his country estate at Black Oak where he keeps in touch with the city hall by means of his 90-horse power touring car Is said to be having trouble with his colored tenants on his "plantation" west of Turkey Creek which re recently purchased. I It appears that the busy statesman conceived the Idea of peopling the 100 acre "plantation- which he. boueht oft nf William Hl(man with rnlnr tniUm I Some slight disagreement. It appears, has arisen between the "planter" and! the tenants and court proceedings. It is I rumored, will shortly startle the Ridge road natives. With his town house on South Broadway, his country estate on teh Ridge road south of Black Oak, his Turkey Creek "plantation" and his big "Joy-1 car" the sixth ward statesman finds but little time now days for the com mon "pee-pul." The stage is all set ror tne iormai bringing out of the Gary Chamber or Commerce, now a temporary organiza tlon with W. G. Wright, president and Ross Moore, secretary, tomorrow night when those interested in the new civic body meet at the Gary hotel It Is expected that a permanent organization will be effected. Among the chief promoters are Mr. nnsui, jui. .uuuic, iicuij '!-i Owen McGinnity, Timothy W. Englehart, Patterson and Stout, .and other real estate and business men. in a way it is intended that the new club will be on the order of the Gary Commercial club. However, the cham ber will find its chief work in exploit ing Gary and no investigations into municipal affairs wll be undertaken as I has been the rule with the Commercial club.

TO INDICT STEEL TRUST Federal Grand Jury in New York Has Held Secret Inquiry. New York, June 22. (Preliminary drafts of an Indictment of an import ant nature have been drawn for pre"entauon to tne ieaerai grana jury here, and the indictment will probably De nanaea aown, next weeK. inis grand Jury has been conducting a secret Inquiry Into the affairs of the United States Steel corporation. The Investigation was started about the time that a complaint of the Alpha I Portland Cement company of Manheim I W. Vo., against the Baltimore and Ohio I railroad company was heard by an I eamlner of the Interstate commerce I commission. Louis H. Porter, counsel for the cement company, in presenting his cas then said; The United States Steel corporation practically dominates the railways of tne country, and its tremendous lnllu ence has enabled the Universal Port land Cement company of Pittsburg, which Is owned entirely by the steel corporation, to obtain more favorable freight rates than can be obtained by its chief competitor and rival, the Alpha Portland Cement company. We charge unjust discrimination In freight rates, and back of it all is the attempt to drive the Alpha company out of business, for that would be the logical outcome unless both companies beplaced on a basis of equality in freight rates." Porter's statement was brought- to the attention of United State3 District Attorney Wise, who placed it before the grand Jury PAPER CRITICIZES SAND COMPANY According to the Chesterton Tribune. no effort Is being made to recover the I three bodies of the sailors who met their death when the steam barge J. v. Aiarsnau went down on tne morning of June 12 off City West, Two of the (five who lose their' lives are accounted for. They are Mate Donahue and Ja j cob Meyer, a seaman, whose body was 1 washed ashore at Gary. The Chesterton Tribune prints re garding the failure to recover the bodies a follows: "Over on the shore of Lake Michigan I the bodies of three men lie burled In the wreck of the ill-fated sand barge J. D.. Marshall. They were employes of the Independent Sand and Gravel company of Chicago, and lost their lives while on duty in that company's serv ice. Not only that, the accident which caused their death was due to over loading the barge In order that the company's profits from that trip might be greater. The men were caught like rats in a trap when the heavily loaded sand barge turned turtle, and they now lie under tons of sand and wreckage. Up to Monday no effort had been made to recover the bodies from the wreck, that they might be given a Christian burial. It would seem that there Is no excuse for this delay. . The weather since the wreck occurred has been fine; the lake has been calm, and all that one ld agk for Doea thIs deiay mean that the company has decided to abandon the wreck and leave the bodies of their workmen to the mercy of the sand and water, the rusting metal and rot ting wood of the barge? The men did their duty faithfully to the company when In life. It would seem that moral ly at least the company owed them

some consideration In death. PubL'o opinion, at least, should be strong enough a force to Impel the owners of the J. D.
