Hub Editor Doesn't Like Its Way of Probing Into Jail and Poor Farm.

CROWN POINT. IXD.. July 13. Says tha Register: '"One does not like to criti

cize the work of a grand jury; In fact itj Is not always safe to do so, but never-j theless the report of the recent Gary) grand jury on conditions at the jail and county farm causes one to wonder justj ow much of an investigation they real-j ly did make t these two institutions. J

At the county farm they discovered a leaking roof, but evidently it never occurred to the grand jury to enquire why a roof, that is but four years old, adn supposed to have been well constructed, leaks so ba.dly. At the jail they found according to their report, a turnkey who they deemed inefficient; yet it Is evident that their investigation was more or less superficial, or they would have discovered that Turnkey Adolph. Iluseman. Is doing and has done for years, work that would require the services of two ordinary men. That the past year he has had supervision of an average of 123 prisoners; that he is on the Job twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week; that in addition to keeping and safeguarding the prisoners day and night, he does janitor work and menial service that should ordinarily be done by two paid janitors. Had the grand Jury dug into and reported the facts they would recommend the county provide the sheriff with an efficient Janitor service. So far as their report shows that their investigation was not a. very thorough one, and hastily made."

E. CHICAGO PRAISED BY ESGHBAGH

INDIANAPOLIS, July 13. East Chicago had the largest number of registrants in any given district n Indiana, and that information was sent to the war department. East Chicago produced 6.55S registrants. There was only one registration board, so that the entire city consisted of one-, district. Mr. Eschbach sent a personal message to Mayor Frank Callahan of East Chicago, congratulating him on the efficient manner in which the draft names were compiled. Gary Citizens Protest. 'State conscription officials and other officials have received messages of protest from citizens of Gary for the proportionate number of men for the draft put down by the war department for Gary. At the time of the registration of men of military age there was but oneregistration board assigned to Gary, and an enormous amount of work was done by the board. The city's registration was approximately 11,000, and when the time came for the appointment of the exemption boards Mayor Johnson of Gary, asked that two additonal boards be named because of the large number of registrants. The war department has complied with the request and has sent out instructions that Gary must furnish a number of men for the draft based on the population as estimated by the number of registrants. It Is contended that the city of Gary has an unusually large number of young men. due to the fact that so many are employed in the factories and in the offices of the steel and other industries. For that reason the number of young men in Gary is out of proportion to the population.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. July 13. H. E. Bamard, state commissioner of weights and measures, has started an inspection of all elevators and wagon scales of the state with the intention of having scales in perfect condition before grain from fall harvest goes to the market. Inspectors are making a tour of the state with two automobile trucks equipped with 1,000-pound test weights, testing anything from one grain to 1,000 pounds. Heretofore the department has made a practice of shipping test weights packed in boxes to different parts of the state with very little accomplished as it formerly took from one to two weeks to complete one test. In making a tour of the state with the trucks more ground can be covered and from three to four tests can be made in one day. During June the department inspected forty-seven wagon scales. Fifteen were incorrect, indicating that about 33 per cent of these scales would not pass the test of the department. The total number of scales inspected including

elevator and wagon scales was 183. with

64 or 35 per cent of these being incorrect. The department has also ordered an inspection of gasoline measuring stations where gasoline is sold by the gallon. Reports from the stations already inspected shov that the majority were giving short measure. In many cases the motorist was paying for five gallons of gasoline when he was receiving from three and one-half gallons to four

gallons and when buying ten gallons was receiving but eight or nine gallons.

SLACKERS TD GRAND JURY

Sergeant Solomon of. the East Chicago police station is in Indianapolis today where he was summoned with certain records of the department in regard to two men who were arrested In this city for not being registered. Both were of foreign birth. These men were held and investigation made by Inspector Bragdon who took them before C. E. Surprise, clerk or the federal court at Hammond. tr. Surprise heard the evidence and bound them over to the grand Jury at Indianapolis. One of the men had been arrested twice before, once last year and once before this year. He gave his age as. 27 the first time and 28 the second time. But when he was arrested for not registering he said under oath that he wa2. It looks very much as if the term "slacker" would not be inappropriate as

applied to him. It wan thought at first that the summons to Indianapolis had to do with the cases of the alleged German spies recently picked up in East Chicago. This, however, was a mistake.

nizance of the mayor's fight for the taxpayers, and seeing the virtue in his charges directed the grand Jury to make an investigation. The grand Jury probe turned out successfully aa every one knows and as a result taxpayers are thanking the mayor for .having brought about the investigation. They also credit Judge Greenwald with his efforts in following up the mayor's work by ordering the grand Jury to get busy.

m UK HAVE SPLIT

N REPUBLICAN PARTT

Unbossed G. O. P. Element Talk of Bringing Out Unfettered Candidate.

There is a well defined movement in the republican party at Gary to purge it of its influences of corporation bossism and and out of town control and as a result an independent republican ticket may be put in the field. Many members of the party are known to be disgusted with the fake reform methods used, the importation of corporation detectives, and the failure to get results in certain quarters after he grand jury had labored hard and failed to find material for official indictments. The belief is that the republican party as now constituted in Gary is in the hands ox bosses and men who owe most of their fortunes to having rendered menial political services to large interests. Republicans see no chance for a square deal as the case now stands and the demand for an independent candidate has been growing. Steel Workers Demand It. ' AVorkers in the steel mills see the way things are going and they are ready to aid in continuing representative government in Gary. They know the source of the lake reforms- set in motion at a commercial organization by men interested in the election, and the failure of one group of reformers to probe jfiito anything that hit their own pocketbooks or their superiors. As the situation now stands steps to purge the republican party are expected to bo taken any day.
