HAVE DOPE ON THE GOAL OPERATORS

TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITA!.. INDIANAPOLIS. Jnd., June 11. Governor Goodrich and the public service commission appear to have the "dope" on the Indiana coal operators in regard to the responsibility for the high prices of coal. In spite of the boisterous demand of the operators that the governor repudiate the report of tne commission In which the commission charges that coal rrices are outrv us" and that the operators are responsible for it. the governor declares that he has sufficient information to support all that the commission charged against the operators. The governor told the operators he knew of one instance In particular to show that the operators manipulate -oal prices. He told of one Indiana operator who offered coal to a buyer at a certain price per ton, the offer being good for ninety days. Two weeks later the customer accepted the offer, but the operator informed him that he could not get the coal because of a lack of cars to ship it from the mines. The customer did a little sly work on his own account, the governor said, and went to a coal dealer. He asked the coal dealer to order a supply of coal from the operator and to offer $1 a ton more than the price in the original offer. The operator shipped the coal at the higher price, and the dealer had no trouble In getting all he wanted at that price. The governor mentioned this incident to show that high prices are not due to a car shortage, but to the desire of the operators to make enormous profits. "There are crooked coal operators the same as there are crooked men in other walks of life," the governor told them. At the state house it Is believed that the operators will reach a decision at their conference at Terre Haute next Wednesday to appoint a committee to act with the state officials in fixing minimum and maximum prices for coal in Indiana. It is known that some of the leading operators favor such a plan. Some of them do not wish to have a "run In" with the state authorities and the Federal authorities. An expert from the Federal trade commission, assisted by ten field examiners of the state board of accounts, have started a Federal investigation of the books, accounts and transactions of the Indiana coal operators for the purpose of ascertaining the actual cost of producing coal in the state. When they have finished this Job the report will be made public, so the people may determine for themselves whether coal prices are just or whether they are too high. The Federal trade commission has authority to make such an examination.

'Twas Salvation Army Gary Foreigners Give Odd Answers.

They got a lot of odd answers when volunteers took the draft registration jn Gary on Tuesday. Some of t??em were cerbal, some have been recorded. "Have you over had any military service- ," asked Registrar Joe Morris In a precinct where the English language is the one leat used. "What's them?" asked a, Slav steel workef. "Why, have you ever been in tho army1?" "Oh, sure. Two years in Salvatiii army." "What country were you born in?" a foreign registrar clerk asked of a newly-arrived negro. "Pummittown. X. C." answered th dark' The registrar listed .is an alieu eni--m . Where- Sotith Chicago. Another chap sall he was born !n South Chicago. Tlie clerk evidently never studied geography and didn't know what country to put Jl-Tn-n. He finally put born "in South Chicago. Germany.' Don't Know Acres. Scores of foreigners dM not know their ages. "What's your name?" Secretary Brown asked of one Russian. "Mike Pozzonovitchkine.?" "How do you spell it?" "Mi-Mike, Pozzo-po-zzonovi " M:ke was finally persuaded to write his name, which lapped over to another line. "How old are you. Mike?" "I got no age." ''What year were vou bom?" "Don't remember when I was born." "Are you 23?" "Maybe," "Are you SO?" "Maybe." "Am you 2D?" "Maybe." "You must be something? What are you?" "Sure. Re second helper open hearth furnace.

Forgers That Uttered Spurious Standard Oil Checks Busy in Gary Police Nip the Scheme at the Very Outset.

LATE DRAFT REGISTRANTS

Through quick work on the part of Chief Forbis and members of the Gary police department an attempt to flood (iary with spurious Illinois Steel Company pay checks was quickly nipped in the bud. Only a few checks were cashed as the result of the prompt action on the part of the police and It is not believed that the gang made way with more than a few hundred dollars. Jacob Friedman, a saloonkeeper, got a check early In the mornin? and notified the police. All available officers were summoned and word was given to all business houses. If on examining the checks closely It will be easy to tell which are spurious and which are not. The checks range in six from $45 to $65 and were cashed by foreigners.

RECORDED !

They were still letting them register for the draft at the Gary city hall, but it was expected the lists would be clos

ed tonight. Most of those who regist- i

ered are foreigners, who said they hadn't heard of the draft, that they were sick or were out of town. One man told Secretary A. I. Brown

that he had gone to Krie. Ta.. to get a ' job. He didn't get it. Being broke he.

Traveled back to Gary via the box car route and the trip took several days.

RESUMES SESSIONS

The Gary grand jury today got down to business and it is expected that this week It will carry out much important work concerning conditions in Gary and in tho county. So far the grand jury had returned several routine indictments, referring to criminal cases of record, it Is said. It will be part of the grand jurys duty to Inspect the county jail and county poor farm, in accordance with Judge Greenwald's instructions. Harold Kchstorm, manager of the Allman-Gary Titel company, took the place of William Horn, who had to quit as juror because of illness in his family.

WOMAN THE GUIDING SPIRIT (By I nlle.l Pi-ran.) SPRIXGFrELD. MO.. June 11. O woman was tl guding spirit in the Keet kidnapping case and not only participated In th actual abduction, but was the brains behind the conspiracy. So police believe today. The only clues the police have the black silk shirt and three letters written by' the abductors to the father of the child point to nothing el.e. All the letters are written in bold feminine hand. No attempt was made at capitalization or punctuation, and the Rttempt to diskuise is evident. Claude Piersol and Cletus Adams are safe in a Jail in Kansas City, and Taylor Adams, his ally, and son Maxie and Sam McGinnts are in jail here.

WOLCOTT TO SPEAK AT GARY THEATRE JRIS HEMIC The Calumet region is indeed fortunate in having the opportunity of hearing Mr. Frederick Wolcott, who represented the Rockefeller Foundation in 'Poland, address the public at Gary theatre this evening at 8 o'clock on the great humanitarian work the Red Cross is doing and has yet to do, and with the first hand information which Mr. Wolcott has from his actual experiences on the battle front, a splendid address is certain to result.. At the meeting of Red Cross chairmen at Gary last Saturday afternoon, arrangements were made to send delegations from East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Whiting, Hammond. Valparaiso, Crown Point and Michigan City and it is suggested that those from these cities who expect to attend, had better be at the Gary theatre at 7:30 p. m. to be sure of a seat. Mr. Wolcott will tell of Tolish conditions and the work laid out for the Red Cross at home and- in Europe. It is hoped the people will interest themselves sufficiently to make the trip to Gary this evening, being assured of a most interesting narration of conditions as they actually exist acid the proposed necessary action required to relieve the situation.

SEND TRAMPS TO POLICE STATION INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. June 11. As this is no time for idlers, it being the plain duty of every able-bodied person to be a contributor as well as a consumer, we suggest the advisability of strict enforcement of the vagrancy laws, not in harshness, but as a matter of justness. The world needs food, and it is only fair that those who eat should be required to work, if they are able to do so, and every effort should be made by the County -Councils of Defense to find employment for everyone able to work, and at a fair wage. We are convinced that if the class of people who make a business of making a living by begging food from house to house are denied this method of sustenance, except those who are ill, a large number of additional laborers will be avail-
