HAMMOND WARNED BY GARY CHIEF rcontlanad from Para LI ;' Into houes In the patch. TWO COPS TO WATCH THEM. "We have to have two negro policemen to watch them. ' Among the few good Industrious negroes in Gary there are a lot of shiftless ones. Our police officers have been Instructed to inquire of every negro who does not seem to have any means of support as to whether or not He Is working. If not he Is run out of town. We have run 200 undesirables out of the city In the past week. HAMMOND POLICE AID. '"Negroes who commit crimes In Gary and who desire to leave town for Chicago do not go through Hammond. TheY know there are so few negroes there that they will be spotted by the Hammond police and picked up at once. The police have aided us materially in catching these fugitives. ' "We are unable to reciprocate for the reason that when a negro goes from Hammond to Gary he buries him self in the thousands of negroes in the territory south of the Wabash and it is almost impostble to locate him. "The crime with which Andy Bailey is charged is that of poking the barrel of a rifle into the head of a wench by the name of Mary Fair, killing her In stantly,- It is not believed that a shot was 'ever fired." VINOL HELPS OLD PEOPLE Here Is Proof That It Creates Strength. . so many cases like this are con stantly coming to our attention that we publish It for the benefit of others Mrs. James McCormlck of Cohoes, N Y., says: "My mother is an elderly lady and after having pneumonia she did not seem, to recover her strength. She was so weak it was about as much as f he could do to get from her room Into the living room. Her strength seemed to be all gone. I commenced to give her "Vino! and in less than a-week she was like a new woman. She- had regained her strength' so she could get around anywhere." It is the medicinal .curative elements of the cod livers without oil aided by the blood-making and strengthcreating properties of tonic iron which are contained in Vinol that makes it so efficent in such cases. If you have an aged father, mother or anyone In your family who needs a strength-creating tonic, try Vlnol on our offer to gie back your money if it fails to benefit.

More than 2,000 men in the United States are engaged in thei white Blave traffic and their names are known to the Department of Justice, according to a statement made by Stanley W. Finch, special commissioner of the department, who has charge of the government crusade against this violation of the law. Mr. Finch, when he appeared before ! the House committee on appropriations in support of an appeal for an appropriation of $200,000 for the prosecution of the work during the next fiscal year, told the committee that by direction of Attorney General Wickersham he had ben devoting his attention exclusively to the white slave movement during the last year, establlhsing a corps of special workers throughout the entire

POLICE REGULATE WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC

INHERITANCE BILL IfillLL GET RALSTOrrS SIGNATURE

TIMES' BUREAU AT THE STATE CA PIT AI Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 19. The inheritance tax bill, which ' passed , the house some time ago, was passed by the senate yesterday afternoon with a few amendments that amount to little. It Is expected that the house will quickly concur in the senate amendments and that the bill go to the governor at onee for his1 signature. That he will sign it there is no doubt because he has been in favor of the inheritance tax and gave his approval to the Tingle, bill before it was introduced. The bill provides for a graded tax on Inheritances, ranging from 3 per cent up to 5 per cent., according to the size of the inheritance and the degree of relationship between the devisor and devisee. Inheritances under a certain amount are exempted, as also are inheritances by a wife, and gifts to educational and religious institutions. The bill was amended also in one spot so as to provide that inheritances or gifts to Catholic bishops. This was put in because on the death of the bishop of a Catholic diocese all church property in the diocese goes to the successor as bishop. The inheritance tax on such an inheritance would be large. The liquor interests won a victory in the senate yesterday afternoon, and the senate receded from its former position that it was opposed to tamper. ing with the liquor laws by passing

East. After hearing his evidence the appro priatlons committee quickly made the appropriation which was asked. Great Peril To Country. "In many cases," said Mr Finch, "the methods followed by procurers are hideous in the extreme. When this t i work was undertaken by the depart ment the business of procuring girls for immoral purposes was getting to be one of the geatest dangers in this country. In fact it might almost be said that , unless, a. girl was actually confined in a. room and guarded owing to the clever devices ' of these white slave traffickers there was no girl, regardless of her station In life, who was altogether safe. . "We are no gradually getting this thing corralled. . We are getting a line on the men engaged in this business and a very complete record of the houses in which these girls are likely to bo placed." Mr. Finch said that if the Depaartment of Justice undertook to enforce the white slave law along the usual lines of the enforcement of laws for the suppression of vice, it would cost at least $1,000,000 during the coming year. Covers Eighteen States. "This work now covers elghtee states," said Mr. Finch. "It includes all the states east of the Mississippi river except part of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and the New England states. We are now extending the work into Pennsylvania and New York and also into two states west of the Mississippi river. "The white slave work has accomplished one thing absolutely. When we began it hundreds of girls were being held in a state of peonage. They were being held as white slaves for debt. Now, wherever we have put our system into, operation, every one of these girls knows her righjts. They are not being held for debt. ' the Traylor bill to permit saloons to run on New Year's, Washington's birthday, Lincoln's birthday, Fourth of July and Labor day. Liquor selling on all of these days Is prohibited under the present law. The bill was! fathered by the Indiana Hotelkeepers' association and had the backing of the liquor -interests throughout the state. But even at that it haa a close shave. There were twenty-five votes for it, Just one less than enough to pass it, and Senator Fleming and others were scared. Just then Sehator McCormick entered the senate chamber and some body told him to vote. aye. He did not know what the bill was, but he voted aye, and the bill was passed by his vote. Whether- the bill will pass the house is a question' The senate "also passed the McCormick loan shark bill, which is a copy of the Hughes bill which passed the house a few days agro. Since both branches have taken favoraole action, it is thought that t?re senate will accept the Hughes bill, which was first passed, and pass it and allow the McCormick bill to rest peacefully in. the house. The ''McCormlck and Hughes bills provide that any lender of money who loans sums up to $250 at more than 8 per cent interest are designated as petty loan brokers. A petty loan broker is required to( register with the county clerk and pay a license fee of $50 a year and take out a license.

These loan sharks are not permitted to charge more than 2 per cent a monh ' interest and not more than $3 fee for investigating the security when a chattel mortgage is given as security. " . This schedule of rates is vastly different from the 10 per cent or more per month which the sharks now charge for their money. It is said that already the loan sharks are planning to. defeat the purpose of the bill by a scheme whereby they will split a loan of $25 in five parts of $5 each and charge $3 for investigating on each part. . The house refused to pass the Moellering bill which proposed to increase the pay of deputy township assessors from $2 to $3 a day, and also the Voris bill to increase the salary of the Montgomery county recorder. The Franklin bill providing that on the filing of a petition of at least onemiles of school houses or other public buildings these buildings may be used for non-partisan, social or other public gatherings No charge Is to be made for the us of the buildings. An interesting bill passed by the house Is the Nix bill providing a fine of $500 to $1,006 and imprisonment up to ten years for any persons who undertake to corner a market or control the prices of hay, grain or other farm or mill products. The bill passed by a vote of 81 to 0. The house passed a bill authorizing the city of New Albany to spend not more than $J,500 in holding a centennial celebration. Governor Ralston has not yet signed the "burglar's relief bill, which reduces the penalty for burglary, . and there is a suspicion that he may not sign it. There has been no demand, for the passage of such a law, while on the other hand many police officers and others from -over the state have voiced their strenuous opposition to It. Senator Krau has Introduced a bill to re-classlfy the prosecuting attorneys and fix their salaries at from $1,000 to $2,500, according to population and amount of work. The senate committee on fees and salaries killed the Fleming bill to establish a minimum wage for teachers. In the house the Voris bill to estab lish a state penal farm and the Jones' direct primary bill were both recommended for passage by house committers. ' Governor Ralston sent to both houses yesterday afternoon a communication advising them that William H. Bower, who recently died, had left a will giving the state his 200-acre farm in Jackson county for use as a state - experimental farm. The- only conditions are that Bowers, widow shall have the use of the farm during the remainder of her life if she wishes it, and if the state takes over the farm then it is to establish the experimental station. The plan is to have the farm placed under the control of Purdue.'The legislature is asked to take action accepting the gift. . RAILROAD STRIKE IS NOW AVERTED CContlnoed from Par l. this, another officer of the brotherhood interrupted and said: - "I should say not." H. L. Dickson of Peoria, 111., general counsel of the Brotherhood, probably will have charge of the presentation of the firemen's case fo the arbitrators. In accepting the Erdman method of arbieration, both the railroad manag ers and the officers of the firemen's union signed an agreement to abide by the award. The only appeal pos sible is from the legal rulings of the board. Neither side can appeal because of dissatisfaction with ehe result. Strike Is Averted. The acceptance of arbitration averts a strike of the employes threatened for months. ' Although the railroads always have opposed bitterly arbitration under the Erdman act, the firemen's stanch stand forced them to yield to It. The question to come before the arbitration board is principally one of wages. " The firemen ask for Increases in wages which, will give them from $2.55 to $4 a hundred miles. They also ask for two firemen on the heavier locomotives.

MUSICIANS COLLIDE WITH AUTO

Quite a little excitement was caused in 148th street, not far from White Oak avenue, yesterday morning, when four half drunken musicians who had evi dently been out all night, undertook to get gay" with three men in an auto mobile, who had stopped their machine for some slight repair and who were about to start up as the musicians came down the road. The musicians spread themselves across the street and tried to block the wa5'. Twice the machine was Btopped while theoccupants argued with the musicians and ordered them out of the way. Thinking, however, . that they were perpetrating quite a joke on the automobilists, they persisted with the result that one of their number was knocked down. This had the effect of stopping the car again and when it was discovered that the man was not hurt, but 'was merely fastened to the road by the coat, one sleeve and the tail of which were held firmly by a front wheel, the chauffeur without further ado sailed into the member of the band who stood nearest him. Another of the automobile party engaged a second of the musicians and the Only remaining one, seeing that his companions were getting the worst of it, took to his heels. It was not long before three fleeing figures were legging it toward White Oak avenue. In the meantime the fourth had been squirming in the dust of the road underneath the machine, and as the rest were disposed of he lay in an agony of suspense wondering what would be his fate. It did not take him long. The machine was lifted from his coat, bjfl before he was allowed to go each of the trio who had been annoyed by the smart alec maneuvers of the drunken quartet took a kick at him. DEATH CLAIMS FEDERAL EMPLOYE IH GARY Wm. F. Kidwell Taken by Pneumonia; Other Deaths Occur. The death occurred last night at the Gary General hospital of William F. Kidwell, assistant postmaster of Gary. Pneumonia ended the life of the postal official. - .. . . . Mr. Kidwell had been assistant postmaster at Gary for the past three years. !

There has been a decided lull in the police courts In Whiting for several weeks, but on Monday night the entire night, force was stirred into activity by a telephone call informing Acting Sergeant Mullaney that clothes line thieves were at work. The exciting part of the affair was that the clothes were stolen from the yard of Chief of Police Lawler. J Mrs. Lawler had gone into the yard to
