Conscription board No. 1 of Gary,' which has jurisdiction over the north end and Clarke Station, has tabulated its official returns. Two-thirds of the. registration was done in the foreign quarter. Tolleston and Ridge road, it being conducted by board No. 2. They are as follows: Total 3.S0S Total whites and aliens in process of naturalization 2.941 Total aliens not naturalised.. 822 Total alien enemies 16 Exemption Claims. Of the whites and aliens In process of natraliaition 1,557 claimed exemption. Of this number 136 indicated occupational exemption, 19 total disability, and 1.339 dependants. Of the colored men 11 Indicated exemptions. Exemptions of pure aliens are not tabulated nor are those of alien enemies. lit many cases, however, aliens did not indicate exemptions as they didn't know what it meant. TO SAFETY While It is probably" true that the newspaper stories of the recent fire and Its attendant peril when the benrol plant of the Inland Steel company was threatened, are stretched, yet Investigation made In the light of subsequent and impassioned perspective shows that f there were many citizens of Indiana Harbor were panic-stricken when the news spread that the flames were near that factory product product Is supposed to be extremely explosive. For Instance, a lady was In a Times reporter's office yesterday and she frankly stated that she was one of the number that hurriedly grabbed what clothing she could carry, piled Int6 an automobile and hurried to wards Gary. She said that two flat buildings located and near 2225 Michi gan avenue were practically emptied of their tenants, who made haste as best they could by machine and otherwise to get out of town with their effects and their children. This Is only one specific instance, but it looks reasonable that there were many such Instances throughout that part of the city. CAN RAISE ANYTHING IN GARYJAND WASTE? It Yields Burr Bushes, Cactus and Other Things Not Gardenstuff. Gary's sand wastes long supposed to be no value save for producing crops of cactil. sand burrs and coarse vegetation of the desert may yield some wonderful vegetables. The first of a series of scientific experiments to determine if the Gary sand can raise anything are now under way in acRnt lots at 6th avenue and Washington street. Just behind the Gary hotel. Schools And County Aid. The experiments are being conducted under the direction of county agricultural agent S. J. Crai?. Prof. S. J. Wulflng of the Gary schools will direct the children who will work there. Various kinds of manures and fertilizers will be tested out. but no black soil will be used In producing crops. Those who have lawns and gardens in Gary first laid black soil Imported from elsewhere on the sand. And Incidentally black dirt has gone up. It is now $2 a yard. One can get enough black xlirt to cover the sand on his lot at a price ranging from $200 to $400. Thousands of people are planning to attend the funeral of the late Charles E. Bowen, chief of police of East Chicago, who died at his residence. 3508 Fir street, Indiana Harbor, last Thursday night. The services will be held at the house and will be in charge of the Rev. M. M.

BR'EH DEEP PLOT li Hands of A. J Knotts and His Enemy Steel Officials Draft of Ipecac. Editor A. J. Bowser of the Chesterton Tribune has discovered a deep plot In the Dunes Pageant, and as before he sees po good in establishing a national park in the fairyland north of the Tribune sanctum. Mr. Bowser Incidentally handa a bowl of ipecac to A. F. Knotts and intimates that the Gary man and the hardworking steel officials and Knotts and the steel crowd hate each other like a pair of wildcats may be laboring In the same vineyard. Says the indignant editor: "The Pageant is now a matter of history. Memorial day the weather man materially interfered with the play and caused its postponement until Sunday. Rough stuff began to show Itself on the part of Knotts police, and con siderable indignation manifested itself locally over the attempt of this crowd to close the public highways to the public and appropriate them for their own rrlvate uses. The result of this was that the sheriff was appealed to, who put a stop., to the rractice Sunday. The attempt to monopolize all concessions was also defeated. . Mr. Knotts was very bitter Sunday because noma one opened up an independent parking place on the Timmerman land. Sunday's crowd conBisted principally of Chicago people, a number came from Lake county and a few from Valparaiso. The official estimate of the number in attendance Is given at 25.000. It certainly was not more. The play Itself was vastly inferior to the one given a few years ago by the Prairie club, called "The Awakening of Summer." The purpose of giving it, however, was to create a good sized expense fund and to bring people to Waverly Beach. HAND JURY y The Gary grand Jury was In vacation day. It will resume sessions Monday. Owing to a case of illness inthe fam ily of Juror William Horn his place has been filled by Harold Eckitrom. manager of the Allman-Gary Title company.

In routine cases, it is be lieved, but these are not made public. as per custom, until warrants are served. ' Mayor R. O. Johnson, who was to be subpoenaed,' was out of town yes terday and did not get a chance to testify. The mayor said today he would gladly appear before the Jury at any time. The Jury is operating on instructions laid dowt by Judge C. E Greenwald. LADY VOTERS TO HAVE HEADQUARTERS It was announced today that the Gary Civic Service club, pioneer suffrage organization, had opened down town headquarters at 13 W. 17th avenue, in the rear of the Gary Trust and Savings bank.

DUNES PAGEANT

This was accomplished. The fight to acquire the lake front will now go merrily on. regardless of conditions. Those who are pushing the project hardest might be better employed ' in helping save the country. Saving the Dunes to shut out industry from the lake front and give the United States Steel corporation a monopoly of this front may be" a patriotic duty, but we fail to see it. The appeal to save a site sufficient to build another steel plant at the mouth of the Burns Ditch In Portage township, falls on deaf ears. All of the land from the steel company gates to the Michigan state line is the prize that is wanted, and anything short of that would mean defeat of Mr. Knotts and those who set him to work. Noise and tinsel and big names on committees may 'becloud the real issue for some, but those who have the real interest of the people, not only of Chesterton and Porter county', but also of all America at heart, will not lose sight of the fact that fore more than eight years the Burns ditch was fought with all thepower great corporations could command, and now when all elae fails, a park is to' close it up so that it will have no commercial usefulness, and there will be no possibility of a plant being built near its mouth. There is plenty of land for park purposes lying between Dune park and Michigan City. If the park advocates will cut off the front lying west of the station of Dune park, opposition to their scheme will be dropped, and evidence given that there is no nigger in this woodpile. The Insistence that the park extend to the steel company gates is evidence that somebody other than the public is to be the real beneficiary. The territory between Dune ParX and Miller is ample to give Gary all the park she needs or could possibly want. Three or four miles of the front at Dune Park is all that industry wants. Twenty miles of park is all the Chicago public ought to ask for to play In. vice chairmen of committees will meet. The club will support the Red Cross campaign.
