(Special to THE TIMES.) Lowell, Ind., Nov. 23. Duped by two clever looking strangers in an automobile who represented themselves as deputy sheriffs from Hammond the various business houses in Schneider the other day gave up all slot machines of every description to the hoaxers. Not until the business men who had been victimized compared notes and laid the matter before Sheriff Thomas Grant did they realize that they had been "worked," for a few of the machines were gambling deVices. The apparent coolness with which the strangers worked in broad day light among the business men convinced the latter that they had a right to confiscate all the property, and accordingly they gave up their g-uni. match and cigar slot machines without a question.. Those having no blanks and which paid for the insertion of money in the slot are not considered illegal, but the owners did not stop to parley with the men who apparently were clothed with authority to act. With their automobile filled with the slot machines the strangers passed through Lowell, but nobody here knowing their mission, they met with no interference.

work on a wagon by the Bieker Coal Co. yesterday noon, but before the day was over Mr. Bicker was minus a driver and $6.2' in money which he had collected for coal he had delivered.

He stated that he did not care what he had to do, even if he had to unload coal, inquiring if the work would lie steady. Thinking lie had a prospect of a good employe. Mr. Bieker put the man at work delivering coal. The man came back after Ills first load and started out on his second delivery on Highland s-treet. Collecting $4.20 for the. coal, the driver made his getaway, leaving the horse to roam at will. Thinking some accident had befallen his new man when he did not return, Mr. Bieker started in pursuit and later found his wagon coming down Highland street without a driver. It was soon learned that the new help had collected the coal bill and the police were at once notified. A search was made of tho neighborhood, but no trace of the would-be driver could be found.

DOG FOILS CHICKEN THIEF

A watchdog belonging to John Kaptur, the north side grocer and saloonkeeper at the corner of Hickory and (Jostlin street, last night prevented a chicken thief from stealing his Thanksgiving dinner in Kaptur's thicken coop. The would-be thief was able to make his escape, but not before the owner of the chickens got a fairly good look at him. and Kaptur said significantly today that "the fellow with the long coat" had bi tter not venture onto his premises again. In snea-king up to the chicken coop the marauder accidentally stepped on the sleeping dog, who snapped at the intruder and with his barking summoned his master. Kaptur gave chase, but wa sunahle to overtake the fleeing figure, despite the fact that the fellow stumbled in tryinpr to vault over the gate. He ran toward Hohman street and was soon lost in the darkness. Kaptur has about 2f0 chickens and quite a number of ducks, and realizes that his coop is undoubtedly tempting to the chicken thief.

Holly is expected back from Wisoonslnn this evening and his own version will undoubtedly be- the true one. The drcr is a fine specimen, being a buck weigh-ins-200 pounds.

Astounding figures were given the State convention of the Indiana Young Men's Christian Association last night at the businessmen's banquet at the Masonic Temple with reference to the foreign population in Indiana, particularly in Lake county showing that nearly 65 per cent were foreign born. Dr. Peter Roberts, of New York

City, secretary of the International Committee, delivered an address on "Practical Work for For Foreigners," and cited amazing statistics taken from the 1910 census returns. Appeals For Foreigners. With charts diagrams and maps the expert, brought the figures home to his audience of four hundred and fifty.

He made an impassioned plea for the foreigner who is & stranger in the strange land, tho butt and misunderstood brother of American society, who wants but a square deal. The Indiana Y. M. C. A., said Dr. Roberts, is pledged to come to the relief of th foreigner with some-practical work, and this work was given in brief outline by the speaker. This work he divided into five general phases, the most important

of which Is the teaching of the English language. He explained the need and value of giving instruction to the foreigner in the meaning of naturalization, and that he should be taught the economic values of the United States, Its system of government, etc. Wants Community Centers. In advocating the closer relation between native born and the foreigner, he advocated child welfare work, particularly the teaching of the foreigners who take caer of their children. The establishing of community centers was given as his last practical sugrgrestioil. Hammond never had a gathering puch as was brought together last night at the business men's dinner. Hammond is making its first effort to entertain a Y. M. C. A. convention, and the representative business men of the city who turned out last night showed that they had caught the Y. M. C. A. spirit.

The Monon railroad was well represented with Its president, Fairfax Harrison, who read a paper, and with its quartette, which sprang into instant popularity with the crowd.

J Indiana's new Y. M. C. A. buildings and activities, j The dinner was served by the ladies ; of the First Methodist church, and I they were complimented on all sides for their accomplishment. Music for j the occasion was furnished by the K. O. I T. M. band.
