TIMES BIREAl, AT STATE C AiMT.VI.. Indianapolis, Intl., Dec. 8. A movement has been started here for the formation of a league of housewives for the purpose of trying to reduce thj high cost, of living, and a preliminary meeting which was held yesterday afternoon developed considerable interest in the plan. It was attended by" a number of the leading women of .the city. Several months iign, ' through ' the efforts of Isadur Wulfson, city inspector of weights and measures, an organization was formed known as the Full Weight and Measures ATssociatlou, the purpose being to get the house wives of the city to insist en receiving honest weight and measure of all of ' the things which she buys a.t groceries, dry gootls stores, meat markets and elsewhere. This association grew until it now has several hunder. members, among them being both men find worn; en. It was promoled by Wulfson. .who has come to be known as the Nemesis of the dishonest retail dealer in' this ci)ty. They fear him and hare him with a cordial hate, but he has gone right ahead and done his duty and has

they would get a reduction of something like twenty-five per cent on all of their purchases, as long as they'continue to b mebers of the association. Mr. Everitt points out that this plan would give the store keeper such a biif business that he could afford to ten to the members at a small profit, an1 at the same time It would give him an enormous trade. He said too that the same plan coul.i be worked with a dry goods store, a furniture store, a drug store and with all other lines of trade, and hat itwould mean a big business for the chosen dealers and a big saving for the consumer. It was ponted out, too, that the consumer and a member of the association would not be 'making any investment beyond the membership fee which she would pay into the association, and that the store keeper would be glad to make the necessary Investment In stock and goods in order to get the trade of the entire membership la his section of the city. N,, s Mr. .Everitt says he feels that such an association can ,iet ten thousand members inside of a. few weeks in this city, and that when the feasibility of the plan has been demonstrated hero he would present it to other cities all

So when Wulfson i the same plan could notSje made a sucstarted in to promote a scheme to bring cess, for the high cost of living pinches down the hi?h cost of living people . everybody everywhere. In a small knew he meant business, and they ap-Jtov.n". for instance, one grocer could be pear to ae taking hold of the proposi-) selected by the association as the place tio.l in god style.

Wulfson takes the position that short many places. t is different from the weights are one of the main causes for old plan of coperating co-operative 7the high cost of living, and this was stores, which ' prevailed throughout the one of the reason;; why he formed the country some years ago. because in that first organiaztion. i case the members of the association But a new plan has been proposed '.o were required to take a certain amount the association.

brotherhood's proposed crusade. He

Stated that its purpose was not to op-pose-the city administration but to try to . induce the fallen women to leave their present occupations and reform.

Highlands asked Braddock how he

would deal with the social evil.

"You can't suppress it," said Mayor

Knotts, "but you can regulate it."

The witness was then told that the effect- of suppression would result in the same conditions that happened when the saloons were wiped Out. Blind pigs sprang up in their place, and if there was bo segregatd district there would be plague spots in all parts of tire city.- . . It. was pointed out that Gary was superior to other cities not far. distant,

inasmuch as no street, walkers were 1 tolerated and that it was perfectly safe tor a wjoman to go Ifrto any part of the city without fear of molestation.

Hotel X"t to Blame. Chief Martin declared that the hotels mentioned did not harbor unmarried couples knowingly, and that it was possible that the management was fooled now and then.. He stated that all south side hotels were under strict police surveillance. It is probable that even a stricter watch will be maintained in the future, and thatdance halls will be kept

unuer surveillance and that young

boys and girls will not be permitted in

the streets. The fact that Bragdon and other secret service operatives have been in the city waan eye-opener to all present. Mayor Knotts intimated that Phil Kasner, once a divekaper in Gary, would be equal to things attributed to him and that he was a rascal and a scoundrel.
