"Where is pretty six year Bojuloski? "Missed" since last Friday evenin Gary police and all Gary Boy Scout have scoured woods and surroundin territory to no avail. Child Kidnaped f Tolice captain Aydelotte is -working; upon one clue that of a man who Is said to have been seen with the babe the evening of her disappearance. The captain does not hesitate in saying that the child was kidnaped hardly for money, for the father, Feter, living at 1609 Carolina street, is poor but because of a grudpe against the family or the family's relatives. One story that links strongly with the disappearance of the beautiful flaxen haired child, her name said to be Mary, is of a "brute" feared by the neighbors because of his ferocity and threats taking the child because a relative of Mary refused him money. So the story goes the "brute" asked the wife of a brother of the stolen child for money Friday afternoon. She refused. "By God IH Get ETtn." "By God I'll get even with you and you'll remember it and all you're relatives," said the man. The woman slammed the door in his face. The "brute" cursed her and slipped away. Seen Taking Child f One neighbor-woman openly said that she saw the "man" running down an alley with the child under his arms. Another report Is that he coaxed her away by giving her candy. Mary's playmates said she left them about five o'clock. That was the last they saw of her. The Child Killed f Although the "man" is said to be a "brute" it is hardly thought he would go as far as killing the child. lie has taken "Mary" to the home of friends probably to force the babe's parents and relatives to give him money. So far no threatening note of warning has been sent the distracted parents. The "man" his name withheld by the police was divorced by his wife Friday. A few hours later he made the demand for money. Since then he has not been seen. Police On Trail. Captain Aydelotte is unraveling the mystery in all possible haste. Several detectives have been put on the case and every clue is being run down. "He can't keep the baby long before we get some clue to it's whereabouts," said the captain this morning. "I don't believe the child is dead, at least not yet," concluded the officer after giving a minute description of the kidnaping. Parents Frantic. All night Friday and all day Saturday the father hunted along with the police. Neighbors cared for the mother who is grief-stricken. The child a "big blue eyed doll" was the pet of the family. Always cheery, laughing and playing about the home the mother and neighbors miss it sorely. The father works In the mill. rj CROWN POINT jerome oss or unicago, is spen en uny.

The liq uor question has hurled confusion and dismay and vnst uncertainty into the senate fight for food control. Just as it appeared that the admipistration, holding the upper hand with the aid of powerful republican supports, was to force passage of the bill this week, the one dry amendment adopted by the house upset everything today. Wets who favored the bill are hedging and drys are split on the extent war prohibition should be inaugurated at this time. Danger of a filibuster by the liquor contingents in the upper branch was admitted. HAMMOND MAKES BIG SHOWING (Continued from page one.) far and away the greatest amount in the city.

The Red Cross girls hardly had time to solicit, so willing were the people to contribute and subscribe. Speeches were made at the jammed by people egaer to hear while street corners and the streets were traffic, even to the street cars was suspended for ten minutes at a time. The evening brought $11,000 in sub scriptions from the Standard Steel Car Company employes; $9,000 from the Simplex; $2,000 from the American Car and these added to the liberal pledges of workmen at the Betz, Reid-Murdoch and other plants, swelled the total. Hardly a lodge in the city had given less than $100 in pledges, while some gave much more. A little boy, and an equally email girl, Clara Fleming and James Prevo, neither over seven years o age, walked up to one of the busy committeemen at the Chamber of Commerce this morning and presented a dollar in dimes, nickels and pennies, as their contribution. The money, they stated, was the revenue secured by selling the produce of a garden they had planted. By cultivating a garden and devoting the proceeds to the Red Cross they had killed two birds with one stone. A cleanly hard-working woman came up to Chairman Turner and insisted on giving $2.00 because she said it is a pleasure to do it. "I work hard for my money but I like to give this." y WAIT GiLLJO FRANCE List of Indiana Soldiers at Mobilization Camp Reaches 200. BY IRVING CHAYKEX. SYRACUSE. N. Y., June 25. Hammond boys at the mobilization camp here, looking forward to service in France within a very few weeks, are mighty proud of their home town, especially since they have learned of Its generous subscription to liberty bonds and the fact that 8,000 individuals donated to the Red Cross fund. Wherever they go, the Hammond recruits never fail to brag of the fact that their town leads the country in recruiting, but we are afraid unless tome more speed is shown that right will be taken away from us. The recruiting report from WasVngton for the past three weeks shows Hammond has sent only fifteen men Ave a week! If any of the boys who enlisted from Hammond had reason to find fault with their treatment there might be some excuse for the falling off in recruits. But every last chap is glad he enlisted. It has made men of . boys and if they go home today they would owe Uncle Sam the rest of their lives for the training and discipline. I see" by" The Times that Sergeant Welch has returned to conduct a week's campaign for recruits and the mark is set at 100. Why. a hundred was the usual week's toll two months ago in Hammond. Better not fall down on this for we wont be able to say "Hammond, Indiana, has sent more recruits than any other city of its size in the United States." Believe me, it does us a lot of good to be able to say that. We think Hammond is the greatest town on earth. Eighteen hundred khaki clad boys attended the performance of Potash & Perlmutter In Society, as the guests of the management of the Empire theatre. Mrs. F. R. Hazzard has opened her beautiul "Uplands Farm" to the boys where we can play tennis and enjoy the privileges of a country estate. Mrs. Hazzard has the boys stay for supper, about 100 of "em go there every day. and there are so many pretty girls, at the rich woman's home that the fellows each have a bad case of love. Every chap at the camp thinks Mrs. Hazzard is a queen, for she certainly treats the boys fine. I George Jones of Hammond, is here. ,spi -:.- - . ; -nr t ' J I ':
