KOI HAS IT DECIDED

WASHINGTON", Dec. 15. For nearly two hours todoy. President Wilson and tscretary Lansing considered the ((ueition of supplementing the forwarding of the German peace proposal to allied qapltals, with tome suggestions

from this government. At the conclusion of the conference neither the president or Lansing would throw any light od what decision had been reached. "There is no announcement to be made at present," said Lansing to newspaper men. . It was indicated after the conference that the state department at least has little on which to work in the way of expressions of public sentiment In this country except as voiced in the newspaper. In th past the state department has been flooded with telegrams giving Individual views but In this instance none have come. (Br Vnlted I'reaa Cablegram.). BERLIN1. tec. 15. German expres

ICTED

NEGRO IS CLEM

Louis Raiiey Fugitive From justice For Three Years, Jury Says Gase Was Too Involved

Louis r.ailey, a negro, SO years old. indicted by a grand jury In October 1913 for first degree murder, for the shooting of Sylvester Smith another negro, today, after more than hree years since the killing which took place in Gary, walked out of the superior court a free man. Raiiey was a fugitve from justice until last July when he was brought back to Lake county from North Carolina. Since Railey's return. Prosecutor J. A. Patterson told Judge Hardy in the the superior court this morning, he had been unable to find any evidence. Those who knew anything about the shooting, he found, had left Gary and could not be located. furthermore, he said, Raiiey told a plausible story of'selfdefense. and, he added, that be was strengthened in his postion to dismiss tho case, by information he received from Miss Welding, the secretary of Associated Charities In Gary. Miss Welding was In the court room but did not testify. She has been looking after Railey's wife and three children who live in Gary. "This Is a serious charge to be dismissed." said Judge Hardy after having listened to Prosecutor Patterson.

Raiiey found that a little savings bank in bis home containing $26 had been broken open and emptied. He accused Smith and bad blood resulted. One day, according to Raiiey, Smith by

CRAPTABLES

i EVIDENCE AT HARBOR

Gary Constable Secures 14 Warrants in Indiana Harbor, and Sporting Circles There Are Much Aroused Over Raids.

Piled high in the store room back of the office of Judge George E. Reilaud, Indiana Harbor, there aro fo"ur long crap tables, mute witnesses to be used in the trial of the gambling case filled by Jess Smith, one of the contingent of Gary constables who have recently been raiding suspicious places in the east end of East Chicago. Another case has come to light in which these constables iigured and in whi;h the spoils were even greater than when Mayer Hill's place was pulled. It happened a night or two ago. Judge Iieiiand was called cut of bed between the hours of -eleven und tweive and summoned to Ills office. Jess Smith had fourteen affidavits which he wante. acknowledge forthwith. -Smith and his coterie of officers had been to George Walci's place, 3406 Michigan avenue and they claimed that they had found there several crap games going full tilt. To substantiate their claims, they brought wtih them a couple of real crap tables. They had placed under arrest. George Walcls, rr,pn',or' of U;e place; T. J. Eurhop, room keeper, and the following visitors: J. J. Filan, E. Loher, M. A. Tilley. D. Davis. James Fisher. W. A. Hart, J. C. Dolan. W. O. Jacobs. John Hanna, R. Dillon, L. H. Khyner and Mike ratti. The men gave personal bonds in the sum of fifty dolars each, with- George Walcis as surety. Trial was set for Wednesday, December 20. It became known yesterday that Attorney Matthews of Gary had been appointed as special prosecutor to handle the cases that have been filed ss a result of these raids. Entry was made at the justice's office upon the personal appearance" of Matthews this effect. ' It is reported upon good authority today that the Gary officers were In Indiana Harbor again last night but their actvities have apparently thrown a scare into local saloon keepers and evidently nothing was found to justify any further arrests. It is believed by some that those now under arrest will have considerable difficulty in getting out from under the charges because of the preponderance of evidence against them. The several hearings are being awaited with interest.
