WILD WHITE SLAVERY YARN FIZZLES OUT Hammond Not Headquar ters of White Slave Gang. Clues which were unearthed by the Hammond police yesterday following a city wide search for a young girl who got off a train at Hammond and -who was supposed to have fallen into the hands of a gang of white slavers has proven that Hammond is not the headquarters of a. gang of white slavers and that the girl has reached her des tination. The first news of the girl's disap pearance in Hammond was received by the police in a letter and telegrams from J. H. Houseknicht, head of the Commercial and Fast freight company. of Portage, Mich. He stated that the young girl was traveling alone from Idaho to South Carolina and that it was his belief that the girl had follen into the hands of white slavers at Hammond. He had learned that the girl, had boarded a Michigan Central train at Kensington with a young lady supposed to have been a member of the white slave gang and upon reaching Hammond were met at the station, by another young lady and gentleinan- Jn. this light the police worked upon the mysterious case, but upon lnvestigat ing, the story developed Into a differ ent aspect. The Hammond police learned that the agent at Kensington had found the girl and had placed her in charge of a ladv who had purchased a ticket for Hammond. The lady in charge of the girl had promised the agent that She would see that the girl got'off at Ham mond where she was to change cars to reach Her desinatlon. At Hammond the lady was met at' the station by lady and gentleman acquaintance, who took the young girl to the Monon sta tion where she caught her train. COUNCILMEETING. An equitable license scale for the ater owners is incorporated in an or dinance that will in all probability be passed by the city council this evening at its first fall meeting. The yearly tax placed on show housen is to be practically cut in half, except in , the , case of large auditor! urns. Thet scale is placed under the new ordinance In ratio to capacity and prices charged. An ordinance regarding the precincts of the new eleventh ward will be in troduced. Unless it is passed voters in Maywood Park will be up in the air at the city election. This act will describe precinct boundaries and Interest is centered upon that question. Other measures have been prepared for Introduction this evening and it is expected that a good attendance of aldermen will be at the city hall. There remains one other regular session of the council before election. Richard Not Diogenes. Richard Taussig, the news vendor, is not near as skeptical as Diognese. He believes that Hammond is made up solely of honest men. Taussig has placed a brand new newstand consisting of five shelves at the First National bank corner, Sibley and Hohman streets. There will not be anyone there to gaurd it. neither morning, noon or night. The customer has the privilege of making his own change out of the pile ' of pennies, nickles and dimes that will accumulate in the passage of the day. SUBSCRIBE! FOR THB TIMKft.

POLITICAL LEADERS WORRIED

Political leaders In the various Calu met cities are frantic because they stand to lose between one and two thousand votes which have to be naturalized before the election. The trouble Is caused by the delay of blanks which are furnished from Wash ngton. Charles Surprise XI. S. Deputy Clerk at Hammond received six hundred blanks this morning, these being part of a requisition forwarded by him through U. S. Clerk Amos Butler at Indianapolis, asking for twelve hundred. In response he received three hundred which were used up ten days ago, and he has no idea when the balance of the 1200 is to arrive.

SLOT RING TROUBLE (Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., Oct. 7. Ten business men of Hobart, whose reputations are county wide, were arrested last night in a swift comprehensive raid conducted by county constable Claud Nicholson assisted by Will Steeb, bailiff in Judge iKopelke's court. All are charged with operating gambling devises. They were arraigned before Judge Atkins in a midnight session of his court called especially for that same judge at which time the trial was continued till October 18. The Distinguished Ten. Nicholson and Steeb descended on Hobart shortly before ten o'clock. In less than an hour the following men were under arrest: Albert Franz, Henry Ittel, Jr., Albert Orcott, Jake Ittel, Henry Klaussen, George Watkins, Harvard Halstead, James Murray, John Hillman, and John Redding. There are twenty-three witnesses who will testifv that each f th ten ad it machIn8 in tneir Place of business Six hundred were in attendance at the opening of Hammond's free public schools at the Central school building last evening. Over a hundred sat in the seats of 'higher learning under the direction of C. M. McDaniel, superintendent of the schools. They talked sociology. Twenty girls, one class out of seven. experimented in domestic science. Miss Marie Dahl taught. Girl Learn to are Apples. Equipment costing $400 has been in stalled in a ground floor room. It con gists of gas Jets over which girls are ought to cook,, a set of culinary im plements and various other articles. At present the domestic science classes ere canning as the season for that Is on. Miss Dahl says that girls take an interest in cooking at school when they don't at home. The difference lies in the '? names cooking and domestic science. Sixty-flve were there to learn the ert of dress making. One hundred and ten took typewriting, eighty-five shorthand and a hundred studied the manual arts, crafts, engineering etc. Foreigner Sing "America." One of the most interesting class 'is the one of foreign born who are studying the English language. They are highly respectable representatives of the Latin, Tutonic and Scandinavian tongues. They' are the most earnest of students. Last night It was desired by some of their number that they sing. The selections ranged from "Die Wacht Am Rhine," to Italian opera. Finally everyone agreed on "America." Is Thaw Insane? After witnessing the moving pictures of Thaw at the Bijou last night evidently there is some room for doubt as to the sanity of Thaw as in some of the scenes especially where he is eating he actually devours a cob of corn while in other scenes he acts natural but at all times he seems impulsive whether or not this has been caused by prosecution or persecution It is up to the Individual to "see the picture then decide for yourself."

BARRISTERS TO GATHER AT GARY The regular quarterly meeting of the Lake County Bar association will be held at the Gary Commercial Club next Saturda evening. After a six o'clock dinner the subject of "Whether com- I pensatlon by employer to employe for Injuries" should be made compulsory of whether the employer should be held liable only for his negligence, will be prested by Senator Frank Gavlt. A great deal of Interest attaches to the subject because of the large number of injuries occuring in the industrial plants of this country and the efforts of some of them to establish satisfactory voluntary relief funds. Mr. Gavit has, for a long number of years, ben one of the leading lawyers of the county In such litilgation, and of late years as head of tne street railway system has had to meet the problem from the standpoint of the employer. This, taken In connection with the fact that he is a member of the State Senate where such legislation will be offered, has aroused considerable interest in what hfe might say. Ills paper will be discussed by a number of other prominent lawyers from Gary and other parts of the county. L. L. Bomberger, president of the association will preside Saturday evening.
