made sooner by Mrs. Ryan did she not think that Rosie would come hack. Arrest Promtnrd Today. It is the promise of the Gary police that some xrrcsts will be made today. Here are Rosie Ryan's movaments on the, night of November 30: Came from 'Hammond with Iella Graves and went to the Majestic skating rink in Gary. At 8:30 o'clock left the rink to catch a Hammond bound car at Fifth avenue and Broadway. They .missed it. Three young- men came along in the auto and after learning that the girls had missed their car offered to take them back to Hammond in their machine. The offer wa- accepted. The car instead of proceeding to

Hammond went to Murphy's roadhouse and Ridge road where drinks were served. They again started out - but then went to Burke's road house in Fortyflfth avenue. Here more drinks were served and when Rosie refused to leave the place with her girl companion she left on her own account and made her way back to Hammond. MURPHY AND BURKE SAY THAT THEY CAN TELL VERY LITTLE OF THIS OCCURRENCE. IT. HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT THE AUTHORITIES BY APPLYING MORE PRESSURE COULD LEARN SOMETHING. A MURDER OCCURRED IN MURPHY'S ROADHOUSE LAST MAY. Officers Hanlon and Bunde and Deputy Prosecutor Ross obtained contradictory statements from Murphy who they say is badly worried. He at first said that the girls were at his

place Saturday instead of Sunday and this statement was afterward disprove n. The police found Sergeant Jenkins of Gary who said that he was present the night the girls accompanied by three young men came to Bee Burke's place. One of the girls, Delia Graves, asked to use the phone. She was told that the place did not have one. She is said to have taken a csr for Gary. Delia Graves is quoted as saying: "As we were about to leave the restaurant another man came up to the car. He appeared to know Barney and was invited to ride with us. He accepted the invitation and sat in the rear of the car with Rose and the young man. t "We rode nearly an hour longer. I had no idea where we were. Suddenly Barney said he had lost his way and stopped the car. I saw we were at a little hut from which a single light appeared in the window. I was frightened and looked at Rose. She appeared to be asleeo. "I screamed at the top of my voice for help. One of the men laughed at

me. I think it was the newcomer whom they called Tom. I cried to Rose, but she did not seem to hear me. I saw the two men start to lift her out of the automobile and I leaped out and ran. It was raining and the mud filled the paths, but I didn't care and ran as far as I was able. One of the men followed ib. "When I was nearly out of breath 1 came to a station of the electric road which runs out of Gary. There were some people waiting for a train and J ran among them. "I crawled behind a seat in the station and when the man who followed me arrived he did not see me. He asked the people in the station if they had seen a girl, but they said, 'No,' and he left. Then I took a train home. I have not seen or heard from Rose since then."

It is probable that federal authorities will today be enlisted with the Chicago and Hammond police in search of the missing girl and the kidnapers.

ATTACK PUBLIC SERVICE

Two public service corporations in Gary yesterday afternoon and last

night were made the objects of attack by an Indignant public. - The city of Gay filed with the statG ' utilities commission a complaint which accused the Gary Heat, Light and Water Company of charging exorbitant, unlawful and dlscrlmatory rates. The people of Tolleston held an in- ' dignatlon mass meeting to denounce the lack of service given by the Gary & Interurban railway.

Traction Service Denounced. Attorney . E. Miles Tvorton presided at the mass meeting of Tolleston citizens In Kunerfs hall last night. There were 250 present. Several citizens made speeches denouncing the present service between Gary and Tolleston. President Frank Gavit of the traction company was on hand and made promises, but the Tollestonites would have none of them so a committee consisting of three members was named and un

less the traction company makes good by Monday morning a complaint f will be filed with the Mate utilities commission. . Louis Marks, Frank Bormah. and Harold Eckstrom "fnakeup the committee who will confer with the traction officials. Should they not get the desired results they ; have, .a petition with 250 names ready "for filing with the state commission ' ' v ' The Tollestonltes' want ten minute service between their ward and the steel mills between; the hours of 5 and 8 a. m. and 4 and JTip. m.; service at other times as often as necessary and a car leaving Gary , as late as 11:30 p. m. City Makes Complaint. City Attorneys Curtla and Starr yesterday filed with the utilities com. mission alleging that the gas company charges exorbitant rates, high and unlawfu "inspection" fees, and that meter inspection is practically barred. The state commission is asked by the city of Gary to investigate. For some time there has been many complaints against the gas company and some people -have openly charged that some vt the officers are trying to make record-breaking dividends by over charges. . " The city's complaint also embraces the alleged fact thai the company has better rates for favored consumers. Whatever may. 'result from the charges it is en optn secret that the relations between the people of the city and the gastcompany have not been cordial and that the same spirit of co-operation that exists between the public and the' steel company's land company is lacking' as far as the gas company is conerneU.

delegates to defeat Murphy. Lafayette democrats were hoping the district convention would be held here. Judge Becker Slay Not Run. Judge Lawrence Becker of Hammond, had been selected by the anti-Murphy men here as their choice for 'chairman, but it is understood that Judge Becker has changed his mind and will not run for the office. R. M. Isherwood. the new chairman in Tippecanoe county, is the editor of a weekly newspaper, and is making a strong fight against Murphy. The Jackson club of this city, is strongly anti-Murphy. Postmaster Charles H. Ball, editor of

the Sunday Times, is seeking to maintain a neutral stand, since he fears to antagonize John B. Peterson, congress- ! man from the Tenth district. Murphy's friend. Mayor George R. Durgan will in all probability be the leader of the antiMurphy fight at the Hammond convention. ,He was a strong Bryan-Wilson man at the democratic national con

vention, and antagonized the Taggart men on the Indiana delegation at that time. - Plan 4ntl-Taggart Force. That no Taggart men may get places on the new central committee here, a new plan of organization das been arranged. The. county chairman will select sixteen of ' twenty democrats in each precinct and permit them to name a precinct committeeman. This, it is as

serted, is better than having precinct

meetings, with only two or three vot

ers present in many Instances. Who will be the' new chairman of the county central committee ofter the re

organization on December 27 is not yet

known. District delegates will be se

OPENS UP FIELD ATTHE CAPITAL Local Charitable Organization Finds Its Responsibilities Increasing. Since the organization of the In

diana and Illinois Relief and Protec

tion association a year ago, wonderful progress has been made and astonishing figures of their work was compiled

by Richard E. Ricketts this morning, who is chief officer of the northern and

main office in Hammond.

From a relief association that was

started ten months ago with only a few workers who donated their services and money, the Indiana and Illi

nois Relief and Protective association has grown Into one of the largest,

broadest and most progressive charitable institutions known in the state.

It has spread its net work of field

workers so thoroughly that relief of

fices and doctors are started in nearly every city, town, village and hamlet in

Indiana and eastern Illinois.

Last week Mr. Ricketts organized a

central office at Indianapolis and from there the corps of field workers are expected to do great work. J. H. Rasper, special relief agent, has been placed in charge of the Indianapolis office and has started preliminary work. He will be assisted by Dr. Homer J. Jones and Attorneys Means and Buentlng.

According to Mr. Ricketts' figures this morning, the Indiana and Illinois Relief and Protective association has since its organization, given more actual relief at the present time in Lake county than all the other charitable institution's put together. Expenditures for tho needy on Thanksgiving totals a sum of $1,258. The association now has a list of thirty active field workers, 304 relief agents in two states and has 268 doctory and 187 lawyers in the association. Work is now being done in several Illinois cities where the United Charities have been unable to operate at as small expense as the Indiana and Illinois association. The field of the work is rapidly expanding, and in several years Mr. Ricketts expects to have branch offices established

throughout the middle west.

WILL HEAR

AGAIN OF IT

The clergy of Hammond, the Worn-! en's Christian Temperance Union, the leaders in the Settlement House, Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls workers, have drawn a lesson from the debauch which nearly cost the life of 17-year-old Stanley Florek yesterday. Meanwhile the police are conducting an Investigation to determine the East Hammond saloonkeeper who sold intoxicants to the boy. While the youth lay in St. Margaret's hospital yesterday the editions of The Times told th story that will furnish material for Sunday school and sermon topics next Sunday in Lake county churches. "I like the phrase 'alcohol poisoning'," said one woman. "It Is utterly true and must surely impress boys."
