LEGISLATURE TO

LlUulD TO PEOPLE TO BE KEPT

Primary Law to be Amended and A!l Useless Offices Done Away With, Other Reforms TIMES HI HKAl AT STATU CAPITA I INDIANA i0 LIS, IXD., Nov. 16. All of the pledgees contained in the Republican state platform, adopted at the state convention this year, are to be carried out by the Legislature, according to a decision reached by the Itepublican state committee at a nuwting held in this city Tuesday. It was the unanimous sentiment of the members of the committee that the pledges made by the party to the public should be fulfilled to the letter, and that the entire program shall be carried out by the Legislature. On all matters beyond those contained in the platform the members of the Legislature are to be permitted to exercise their own judgment and act as they please, but there is to be no shirking when it comes to platform pledges. The planks of the state platform in which pledges are contained are as follows: The Republican party pledges the people, upon its return to power, to restore an economical aud businesslike administration of the affairs of the state. We favor the adoption of the budget system for the expenditure of public funds. We favor a; constitutional amendment fixing- a limit to the tax rate and giving the legislature power to effect taxation reform. (ConunuM on page elgtit.

ACCUSED OF ATTEMPT TO BLACKMAIL ENVOY'S WIFE

N -tto KARL A.iAVfc COUfiTE5S AN COUNT VON BERf4STORFF Karl Armgaard Graves, who calls himself a former spy and who has been In the United States for several years, ; was arrested in Washington on the . charge of trying to blackmail Count- j ess von Bernstorff, wife of the Ger- ; man ambassador, of J3.00U for three , letters from Germany ne had inter-1 cepted. He said the embassy was , afraid to prosecute him, that the let- i ters contained information to be u.scd on the stock market, and that a clique in Washington had already made millions by advance information from Germany which would influence the price here of securities. RRESTS -ARE MOT YET MADE (BUXLETIlSr.) Reports that United States marshals are" about to swoop down upon Gary and gather in a number of prominent citizens, including municipal officials, isn't worrying some of the men at the city hall. "It is not the government's way of doing business," said one official. "I think the yarns are pipes." Blowup TText Week? In some quarters it is thought that there will be no action by the federal authorities for several days. It is pointed out that while warrants may have been drawn they may not be served until after the grand jury hears evidence, the procedure being one often followed in federal courts. Gary expects the arrival of deputy United States marshals any minute now to make arrests in connection with alleged election frauds. Statements given out at federal building in Chicago indicate that arrests in Gary and other parts of Lake county will be made probably at once. If. S. Lon; Investigating. That United -States government agents had been in Gary for a month or so was a matter of public knowledge. That they had been in town for months and studying the system of politics in the steel city has not been generally known. Just before tho primaries the governj ment agents issued a warning. They made their presence felt just before election, but from what can be learned certain gentlemen weren't impressed much with Uncle Sam's men. Who's in the Net? The question is a puzzler in Gary. Rumor has it that city officials, steel officials, and several political workers may be involved. One of the funny things about Gary politics is that of 9.426 men who registered only some 6,700 showed up at the polls. 'Whether hundreds had registered illegally is not known.

0 United Pres Cablegram, LONDON, Nov. 1C Moiuisllr is almost within the reach of General Serrail's indomitable Franco-Serbian forces after one of the most astonishing advances recorded in the great European w ar. Battling against snow arid rain over great natural mountain fortresses, the allied forces have now reached the plains of Monastir and today's official announcement from Paris, practically confirmed in a Berlin statement, indicates sweeping back of the BulgnrianTeu tonic lines within four miles of the city of Monustlr Itself. : Berlin's admission was a brief comment that "prepared new positions In the fern a sector were occupied." The new positions achieved by the Franco-Sej-biHn forces are the result of two separate successive flanking movements. Th'd first involved the well nigh impossible passes under (Ire of the mountains which guard -Tie bend of the Cerna river to the east of Monastir. and a thrust westward from those hard won heighrs. It was successful. With practically all of the Cerna banks in their possession, the allies now are again striking out, forcing the Teutons "hack. This is the second abandonment of portions of tho Monnstir plain, tacitly admitted by Berlin. King G orge. has telegraphed General Haig on the western front congratulating him on the great success his troops have a, liirved during the past three days at Ancr. His message concluded wjth the declaration that "this further cspturc of the enemy's first linn trenclus rebounds to the credit of all ranks." To his sovereign's congratulations the British commander-in-chief replied with thrtnks expressed with Spartanlike brevit y. W33V';B.A7EST ( H.v I ntted Irc Cablrgrnm.)

CLEVELAND MAY BE THE APPOINTEE That Attorney Clyde Cleveland of the law firm of Cleveland & Cleveland. ; who headed the Young Men's Republi-j can club of Hammond in a most sue-1 cessful campaign, will be the Hammon.l deputy of Prosecutor-elect Clyde j Hunter, is the confident expectation of j tne many friends of Mr. Cleveland.

If the deputyship is to go to j one of the younger men in the profes sion, Mr. Cleveland probably would be found to be the unanimous choice.

r SIT Capital and Labor Situation in 'U.S. Shows Formation of A New Body, (By United rrests. t NEW YORK, Nov. 16. Prospects of the greatest industrial struggle in history were increasing " today. The capital and labor situation arising from the rairoads' determination to fight the Adamson eight hour law was accentuated by the formation of a vast organizaion of empoyers to be known as the National Industrial Conference Board. This new body representing eight billion dollars capital and employing seven million persons proposes that industrial legislation shall be watched more closely. That legislators shall be guided by public information and that favoritsim shall be eliminated. It will fight fuch measures as, the Adamson eight hour law; and it believca that the election showed there is no labor vote, and hence legislator hereafter need not curry favor with labor leaders as they claim has been done in the past. Significance of the new alignment increased with receipt of word in Raltinre dispacthes that the Brotherhoods will join to force the eight hour law in all industries not by legislation but by the force of organized labor. ril ROBERT J. Ii;.MJi;it I I ntted I-res Stan Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. The administration is ready to start an aggressive fight in behalf of the Adamson law which is now the object of jtonuerted uttax-k by most of the big railroads in the county, it was made clear today. Belief was expressed by high officials that the efforts to enjoin the operations of the law would fail. It was suggested that the government might not confine its efforts to defensive tactics if the hope of th j railroads to prevent the operation of the law should appear likely of realization. If the railroads tie up the enforcement of the Adamson act, the railtoad workers are expected to strike. It is the view of some of the Presidents advisors that the court would hold the railroads responsible for interference with interstate commerce in such cases and would compel them to abide by the provisions of the act This belief is strength by the fact that the Adamson law primarily is a measure designed to obtain a thouogh and scientific investigation of facts on which to base final legislation. FATHER SUES FISH DINNER MAN IN COURT A drowning accident which occurred in Wolf loke on June 3, in which John Kronsel, a 16-year old boy of Elm street, Hammond, lost his life, ' today resulted in a suit being filed by the father of the boy against John Cunneo, proprietor of a Roby fish dinner resort. The complaint, filed by Attorney John M. Stinson, alleges that Cu'nneo was the proprietor of the boat, and that he rented it to the boy, knowing that the boy's l'fe would be endangered tnereby. The complaint asks 10,y00 in la mages. WANTS $25,000 Suit for alienation of his wife's affection, was filed today by John Paunescuit of Gary, against John Ittu, pro--prietor of the Chicago Hotel in Gary. The complaint, prepared by Attorney 1 ). E. Boone, alleges that "tne woman in the case" left her husband Sept. 29. and asks $23,000 in damages from the defendant.
