Draft Roll.

(Special to Thb Times.) ' WASHINGTON ,JuIy 17. Governor James P. Goodrich, of Indiana, accompanied by Senator New and Representative Will R. Wood, yesterday went before Provost Marshal-General iu. It. Crowder to ask for relief for Gary citizens against -what he termed an unfair draft condition in Lake county. Because of the fact that there are so many foreigners In Lake county and so many unmarried men, the county will have to provide several times more soldiers for the new national army in proportion to its total population than other communities. Governor Goodrich told General Crowder. General Crowder told the Governor nothing could be dona to relieve the situation. He 'said the law on the subject was plain, and that he had no authority to alter the law or to make rules and regulations applying only to

PICK SITES FOR 2 GARY SCHOOLS

The Gary council last night took steps that will enable the scheol city to acquire land for two new schools at a cost of $700,000. A new school for the south side, below the Froebel district, will be located rear 24th avenue and Harrison street. The trustees were authorized to acquire by purchase oC condemnation. Authorization was also given to buy 16.8 acres of land in tract between 6th and 7th avenue and Cleveland and Garfield streets for $1,325 an acre. This territory is now a wilderness, but it is expected to be the center of west side population in a few years. Each school will be able to take care of 3,0tl0 children.

WELL, . WHAT ABOUT

IT?

Who are those intelligent, cultured Americans that Street Commissioner Kiergan of East Chicago, is making such a fuss about? He tells a very improbable tale. He says that actually some of the well-informed citizens of this city are in the habit of cutting lawns, trimming trees, and collecting rubbish from door-yards and dumping the wholo mess right into the gutter on, the street where ft banks up the water from the heavy rains; that this stuff is washed down Into the catch basin and

clogs it up before his teams can get to it to draw it away; that the alley and

not the street is. the place for rubbish of this nature. Xow, don't you think the commission

er is rutting it a little strong? Is It possible that men interested in the

cleanliness, and economic administration of affairs would do a thing like that? Look at the streets in some of the best resident districts and see.

Judge Bartholomew In circuit court

at Valparaiso, today was expected to

give a decision, in the suit of Mrs

Bernadlne Szold Carver of Gary for a divorce from her husband. Attorney Albert Carver, as well as the restoration of her maiden name and the custody

of her baby. Now in its third week the case has

been one of the most contested ones

ever staged in northern Indiana. Through his attorney, Ex-Congressman Edgar

Crumpacker, Mr. Carver has denied his wife's charges and resists the divorce move. Attorneys Harry Sharavsky and

William Matthey of Gary, represent Mrs. Carver, who is the daughter of

Jacob Szold, a Gary department etore owner. It is said costs and attorneys' fees in the case will run up into a coople of thousand dollars. Many witnesses were

brought from other states and heaps of

letters were used as evidence.

SENDS BIG DELEGATION

Fifty Will Appear Before

State Tax Board to Review Taxable Values.

Tomorrow evening fully fifty men

representing the city officials of East Chicago, the chamber of commerce and

the industrial corporations will take the

6:30 train on the Monon from Hammond for Indianapolis where the state tax

commission will review the taxable val

uations of the plants upon an appeal filed by the citizens and officials of that

city,

The county board of review turned down the appeal of East Chicago to

equalize the valuations and voted, four

to one, to stand pat on the returns made

by the township assessor.

There was nothing left for the city to do but to take an appeal and while it was felt by representatives of the

city and the chamber that some were

paying a fair proportion of the taxes of the city, yet it was seen that the state board would not be able to do Justice to all unless the situation as a whole placed before them. As a result, all of the

plants will have representatives before the state board. The hearing begins Thursday morning at nine o'clock and will be continued Friday and longer if necessary. The city will be represented by Mayor Callahan, City Attorney Glazebrook and P. A. Parks, controller. The chamber of commerce will be represented by the chairman of the taxation committee. W. O. Harmon, city treasurer, and by F. L. Evans, secretary.

THIS 15 THE REASON

Thft north side residence district of East Chicago caw a confusion of automobile traffic last Sunday afternoon that caused a gerat number to wonder why It was that so many Chicago cars were circling and encircling the blocks in that section. Cars were turning around in the middle of the streets, getting in each other's way, chasing even through alleys with drivers stopping all pedestrians and asking for information about the road to Chicago. The situation resulted from the closing of H5th street which is still under repair and which will be closed for a week or so yet because of the inability of the street mmissioner to get gravel with which to complete tho Job. The blue book routes traffic to Chicago by way of Chicago avenue, Forsyth avenue and 145th street, west to Calumet boulevard. When the cars came to Magoun avenue and found that they could get no farther in that direction they invariably turned north Instead of south to Chicago avenue and then west. Then they found themselves on the nor side with no exit. The East Chicago Motor club, in courtesy to Chicago traffic, has now put up road signs directing traffic straight west on Chicago avenue to Calumet avenue while 145th street is closed. This club is doing its bit but it needs more members, more men to help in work of this nature.
