Chief Martin Will Ask Gary ICouncilmen for Additional ; Patrolmen; As Now Or ganized Force Is All Rank and no File. Chief of I'olice Joseph I. Martin will ask. the Gary common council on Mon day, night for ten more patrolmen. The rapid growth of the city, the increase in crime, and the fact that Gary has an area, as big as the city, of Cincinnati and Is the largest city territorilaly in Indiana are cited as reasons for the ad ditional men. Nott Has 43 Men. The makeup of the- department at present is 43 men. Its personnel and the annual salaries of each are as fol lows: 1 chief . i $2,100 2 captains 1,500 2 patrol sergeants 1,320 4 detective sergeants .."1,320 1 bailiff 1.320 1 bertillion officer 1,200 1 signal officer 1,200 2 patrol chauffeurs .. 1,200 3 desk officers .....1,140 2 station officers 1,140 24 patrolmen $1,020 to 1,140 The department is managed In its executive affairs by three commis sioners o safety, who also have Juris diction over the fire department, and who receive $150 a year for their salaries. Moat Travel In Pa I in. "We have to have 10 more patrolmen, who start in at $1,020 a year and who get $1,140 after the first year," declar ed Chief Martin today. Of the 43 men but 24 are available for patrol duty. On account of the unusual conditions here our officers have to travel in pairs or else In some sections of the city their lives would not be safe. "Tolleston requires three patrolmen, Ambridge. which heretofore has been policed by the American Bridge company, needs a patrollman, Clarke station has a man and wants two. West Gary wants an officer and Ridge Road wants another one. We have a lot of trouble south of Twenty-fifth avenue and more men are neded there. No officer travels beat In the east side, and the west side is nearly unpro tected. "he -Gary steel works alone . em ployes more than 50 patrollmen for its 1,000 'acres and the other big plants have big fortes." NOW WHAT DID VIRGINIA DANCE VContinned from Pare Lf husbands owned dives there. "Mrs. Winckler's remarks concerning the toe dance' were made In an Interview given to The Hammond Times ' yesterday. Late in the evening she not only admitted that the interview was correct but said she had written it herself. "Here is what. Mrs. WMnckler had to say about the dance: Mrs. Winckler's Statement. , " 'Why, the first . time we ever saw Miss Brooks was a few years ago, when she quite shocked, the more re served members of our club by dancing a 'toe dance' for us. She was engaged on.the programme given on 'daughters' day." Many of our women had never seen any of these gauzlly dressed dancers and really were somewhat shocked." "Miss Brooks, the object of these re-

marks, was found, via .telephone at the

home of Mrs. John F. Bass last night. She was told the purport of the interview attributed to Mrs. Winckler. '"Oh, I don't believe that Mrs. Winckler said those things. We are quite good friends," said Miss Brooks. "Friend" Wrote The Story. "But Mrs. Winckler not only admits them, but says she wrote the newspaper article herself," answered the inquirer. ' " 'But I never did a toe dance. I lack the terpsichorean dexterity," protested the Reformer. " "Perhaps it was some other dancaT was suggested. " 'I am not a dancer, really." " 'That was several years ago, however. Just think it over perhaps this is one of the accomplishments your modesty wUi not permit ybu to admit.' A Little Classical Thing. "There was a pause at the other end of the wire. Finally the voice of the young woman was to be heard again. " "Why, yes, 1 did do la dance for them, but it was a simple, classical, aesthetic little thing that couldn't shock anybody or b mistaken for a toe dance. There was absolutely nothing improper about it." " 'Mrs. Winckler said that there was,' said the reporter. "'Well, she'd better not or Itwill sue her for $20,000 libel. I'd drive her into the lake.' "And with this parting shot Miss Brooks hung up the receiver." HOBART TVVP. READY INSTITUTE Farmers Are Preparing to Attend the Meetings on Wednesday.

V ROAD LAW THREATENS WRANGLE fContlnuad from Para 1. would create a state hghway commis sion to have charge of all road work. One bill proposes to create a commission under the control of Purdue University for the next two years which would have charge of all road experimentation, and this bill is being opposed on the ground that it would enable Purdue to build up a gigantic political machine that could accomplish about anything Purdue would want. Several bills, propose to change the road tax law fo as to make all road tax payable in cash, but they provide that any sum or road tax up to $zo or zo may be worked out. In this way they say the average farmer will have the opportunity to work out his tax, be cause the farmer's road tax seldom runs above that figure, but It would compel railroads and other large corporations to pay their road tax In cash instead of having It worked out, as at present, by I contractors who give the counts not more than sixty Der cent of what they should get. Practically every county in the stata has suffered thus at the hands of the railroads and these road fiaiius VI Lno laiiiuttus aiiu nirnc rutiu tax contractors, and this makes it almost certain that a bill to require the payment of road tax in cash will be passed. t The senate committee on prisons, of

which Senator Faulknor, of Michigan City, is the chairman, has made a. favorable report on the 'Faulknor bill to appoint an additional physician, who shall be an alienist, to have charge of the hospital for insane criminals, which is located at the state prison.' Senator Faulknor saya there are 146 Insane criminals in that hospital and that a separate physician is required for them. It is believed that the bill of Representative Moran,, of Fort Wayne, to make changes in the firemen's pension fund operations, will get through. A bill has heen Introduced to require a flag to be displayed at every polling place at all elections, and the bill pro-

Governor's Minnion Seema .nnured. Another bill -that probably will become a law is one to be introduced soon for an appropriation to buy a home for lno governor. At preseTil Indiana has , no executive mansion, sucn as many i other states have, and a Governor is required to rent a house and pay for it himself while he is in office. A propo- i sition has - been recommended by the1 eglslative visitation committee that $4,800 be appropriated to former Govi ernor Marshall to recompense him for j the-amount-he paid -out for rent, heat i and light while he was Governor, and . It is understood that a bill will be in troduced to make an annual appropriation hereafter for this purpose. But the Legislature has appointed a committee to look up the pieces of available property for a Governor's mansion and to report to this session. The bill to make me puiLiinac wn nitrii ,ue iniruoucea, and if it. passes the annual appropriation will not be necessary. It is said that a place can be obtained at a price that will make It a good investment fo rthe state. SPLENDID EDIFICE FOR EAST CHICAGO CJongregationalists to Build $32,000 Church This Year.
