NEW fifiD WATSON 0TE TOGETHER Cummins Amendment Supported Under Misapprehension. WASHINGTON. July 9. Senators New and Watson of Indiana voted Saturday in favor of the continuance of he manufacture of beer and wines and against the further manufacture of whisky. That was the effect of their votes in favor of the amendment of Senator Robinson of Arkansas. The House has decreed that beer and wine must go. as well as whisky. The Robinson amendment permits the continued manufacture of beer and wine. The Indiana senators voted for the Cummins amendment prohibiting the withdrawal of distilled spirits in bond during the period of the war, but Ilk.) ether senators were convinced it should rot be adopted, on hearing from busiress men over the country that it would mean nmneial ruin to many concerns holding distillers' certificates. Senator New today said he had taken i the position all along that he desirexl to be governed by the best judgment of I the llnanoe committee and the prohibi tion question in all its aspects with reference to the public revenues and to food conservation, and was opposed to prohibition of beer and - wines at this t inie. Separate Prom Draft. "This prohibition," said the senator, "would come almost concurrent with the craft, and it is a well-known fact thfit the War Department dois not want the two mixed. In other words it does not w;nt an issue brought to the iront right at this time that would be unpopular with many people. "Furthermore, this business of lugging in prohibition on the espionage bill, Ih-i food bill and every other old bill is out of place and the temperance people moke a mistake in doing it. I will vote to submit the question of the prohibition to the states and let the people vote on it and that is how the question ought to be disposed of." Senator Watson said he agreed thoroughly with the position taken by his colleague. Ask Yourself How You Can

IS years old and over, to take care of the new recruits which art- pouring in. For the last two months headquarters has enrolled an average of over 1,000 boys a day. The scout movement at this time is utilizing all the power of a well organized force of 291.03 men and boys to ircrease food ; reduction in the United States. The movement is represented in every city and town of 1.000 population and over and as a consequence the work of the organization will be a big factor in the 1917 crop, but the needs of America and her allies at this time are so enormous and the leaders of tha scout movement are determined to secure leaders to take care o f every boy who volunteers. Officers of the scout movement point out that there are many patriotic men who want to do their. "bit" but who cannot be accepted for active service at the front because of physical disability or because they have dependents. Many of these men have the necessary qualifications to serVe as scoutmasters. All such are requested to give their names and addresses at once to the representatives of the Boy Scouts of America in their neighborhood. It was also explained that a number of the scout officials are volunteering for active service, and this increases the immediate need for men to take up scouting in order that all troops may have adequate, competent leadership. The enrollment of the Boy Scouts of America today is 224. S3 1 boys and 66.702 men. making a grand total of 291, 033. This is an opportunity locally for men to engage in scout work. At the present time there is a shortage of scoutmasters for the Hammond troops a nd some of the scoutmasters and assistant scoutmasters at present in charge of troops will come under the conscription law and will in all probability be leaving for the front. Troop No. 1 meets Saturday nights, 7:45, at the Baptist church. Troop No. 2 meets on Wednesday nights, 7:30, at the Christian church. Troop No. 4, meets on Friday nights, 7:30. at the Methodist church. Troop No. 5 meets on Friday nights at 7:30. (These boys meet at the home of one of their number.) THE BOY SCOUTS. The Boy Scouts of America performed a notable service to the country in their campaign for the sale of liberty loan bonds. Through their efforts more than $25,000,000 of the bonds were sold directly. How many sales were due indirectly to their activity can not be known. The Boy Scouts worked systematically and. thoroughly and with an earnestness that was inspiring. They covered fields that could not well have been covered by other agencies and effected sales that would not have, been made without their efforts. The scouts have not only proven their patriotism. They have shown their efficiency and their civic value. The Hammond scouts did well for the short notice they got. They sold $2,000 worth of bonds in two days' time. PASTOR TO LECTURE. Rev. Theodore Claus, pastor of St. Faul's Lutheran church of Hammond, will deliver an illustrated lecture tonight and tomorrow evening at St. Paul's school on the History of the American Lutheran church.

D CONTRACTORS

ELKHART. IXD., July ?. W. W. Hatch of the contracting firm of W. W. Hatch & Sons, and Willard M. Gillette, former county surveyor, indicted Friday by the superior court grand jury on charges of fraud in connection with the Dussell gravel road in Washington township, which has been the result of considerable litigation during the past few months, furnished bon-ls of $3,000 each when arraigned before Judge Harmon. The indictments caused considerable surprise, for a number of Goshen men who are disinterested have stated the road is as good as any gravel road that has been built in the county and far better than the Harrison township road which has been finally accepted and the full amount of the contract price paid. The contract price for the road was $30,890. The road extended from the Concord-Washington township line along the south side of the St. Joseph river into Bristol and for a short distance northeast of that place. It ha3

INDIANA IS WELLQRGANIZED Red Cross Fund for Nation Passes $120,000,000 Mark.

WASHINGTON, July 9. Reports from belated campaigns for Red Cross funds in a number of cities have sent he total of the war fund across the $120,000.0110 mark. Money to redeem pledges made during Red Cross week is now pourinti into national headquarters at the rate of nearly $500,000 a day. The lied Cross a nnouno-d that 200 chapters were organized during the special war fund campaign week, and that 1.634 chapters are now on the rolls, compared with 272 on February 1. Iowa has 112 chapters, :- v.- 'han a ny other state; New York has t if : and Pennsylvania, 100. Indiana is reported as having the most thorough organization of any state. Red Cross headquarters explained that official re ports of pledges received during the special campaign .had not been received from some localities and that consequently descripancies exist be tween headquarters and local tabulation for states. Senator Smoot declared in a statement that Utah raised $520,124. making a per cent contribution of $1.14. The state's spportionmen was only $300,000. x NEW PUN TO COT COST OF LIVING Louis Krkovfeh, manager of the Gary Ice company, is preparing to organize a co-operative cold storage association in Iake county, which will have 5,000 members. A large cold storage house at Michigan City may be used. If carried through It is platined to have the members buy their own poultry, produce, butter and eggs and store them when rrices are low. Daily car service over the South Shore is planned between Michigan City and northern Lak3 county cities. OVER 1,000 BATHE; WATER 'JUST RIGHT' More than 1,000 entered the water at the- Hammond bathing beach yesterday, the first big attendance of the year. The park was crowded throughout the day and the Hammond Beach Inn did a land office business. Bathers found the water "just right." neither too cold nor too warm. The big need at the beach is a board walk out into the water for 100 or 150 feet. Bathers can dive from this walk into the depth of water which suits their fancy or skill. At present there is no apparatus in the water excepting a raft and one post. The swings are not up. WAR CONVENTION OF NATIONAL BODY (By Uaitd Press.) PORTLAND. ORU.. July 9. Preparedness, patriotism, nationalism. That's the keynote of the National Education association sounded here this afternoon by Robert J, Aley, president, at the opening session. President Aley declared that the schools of the nation could do a most omportant work in the present war. He urged teachers to spread the gospel of national service. Charles E. Van Hise. president of the University of Wisconsin, as the personal representative of Herbert Hoover, explained the necessity of food economy. Eight thousand delegates of the National Education association and its twenty-one departments and fouru-cn lied organizations are gathered here. The convention ends Friday night.. GARY SERB CHURCH PATCHKS UP TRUCE The row in St. Siva's Servian church at Gary, which resulted in the pastor publishing advertisements that the president and other officers had been suspended, was settled last evening when by a large majority the pastor's action was overruled. The pastor. Rev. Sredanovich, was "given tome to August 1" to leave Gary, said the official statement issued tcdayt Vice-president Marko Tukac who was also suspended is the new president. Ex-president Louis Grkovich resigned office for harmony. He is now in good standing. Police were on hand to answer any cnils for trouble should it have been ensued at last nights meetA CORRECTION. In a recent issue of this paper It was stated mat Eric Lund is candidate for councilman-at-large on the citizen's ticket. This is not correct. Henry Lundt is candidate for eouncilman-at-large on the citizens ticket and Eric Lund, at present councilman from the Ninth ward, is not seeking re-election. THE TIMES stands for the U. S. and President Wilson. POLITIC been reported as fm""tied and has been accepted by the county commissioners ! to such an extent -hat all of the contract price, excepting a balance of $4,I SSI. 40 has been paid. It is declared by some persons that ''-)- ;.n:ourit of gravel called for under the specifications has not been placed. Ft this reason the commissioners deferred final acceptance . of the improvement zr.-i Lhe balance of $4,881.40 has not been paid the contractors as requested. The grand jury indictments, three counts against each of the defendants, set forth that Contractor Hatch made false statements as to the amount of gravel used and that these statements were officially approved by the surveyor. Trouble started on the highway almost before Hatch & Sons Co. began work and has continuel with few interruptions. There have been several lawsuits as a result. Early in the dispute the allegation was made that politics had something to do with the fault found with the road.

Indiana democrats have decided that When they nominate a full set of democratic candidates for delegates at lare to the constitutional convention the women and organized labor shall have representation on the ticket. They have not decided on the number of women candidates nor the number of labor candidates to go on the ticket, but both elements will be represented, at least. A number of women attended the democraticstate committee meeting, held here yesterday afternoon, and received the assurance of the committee that some women would be placed on the ballot. The democrats of each congressional district will make their own . nomination for a candidate for delegate at large. The thirteen candidates thus nominated will hold a meeting and select tne other two candidates to make the full slate of fifteen candidates. It is believed that one of the latter will be a woman and the other will be a lhor representative. Democratic county committees will he left free to make their own nominations for legislative district delegates, and they may nominate a democrat or any one else they piease. But all of the candidates for delegates at large will be democrats. an! the entire party organization will get behind tne slate and try to rut it over. my ille i t ?. -.'s VS.'FT& -tv y-g-- A
