NOT WANTED IN CLEAN-UP WORK Clergymen and others who sra cre ia their efforts to co-operate with the authorities ia solving all the problems in Gary, where hundreds of transfer are coming ia weekly, scores of them negroes, will resist aay attempts to convert their work into a political propaganda and neither do they want aid or contributions from certain sources. It is feared that tho work will soon end if the Oary Post "aids" ia the crusade. Those having the committee of fifteen's Interests at heart do not want the support of any paper or any one else at whose place a gambling gam was raided. Any sap port that the Post may give will he regarded as embarrassing', it is said. XTelther do the good government enthusiasts want the "aid " of any ef the campaign managers of the various candidates. The committee will co-operate with the mayor aad the city government, and not with any of the candidates' managers or their orators. Others hold that the work should not he marred hy contributions from the political steel or contracting of. ficials, who are all things to all men. These hardly will be asked to give funds. Many of the ministers cannot reconcile themselves with the hih steel officials who encourage prohibition with one hand and then allow the xnalntalnence of the largest salr.cn in Xeisaa on a si sal site opposite the treat Gary steal mills aad closer to the men than the steel eompany's T. U. C. A. is. The aid of any of these elements are not desired, It Is stated. Nor is their money. Plan for the launching of a "committee of fifteen" was made last evening at the Gary T. M. C. A., which if it Is carried through and adheres to its expressed pucpcse. will be the first concerted mo'-e"iont ever g-otten up to aid the cty government in maintaining law and ordr. Heretofore the efforts of the satraps of the big Interests overshadowing Oar;" have sometimes been along opposite lines. Rev. H. E. "Wilson ot First Baptist church presided and Rev.

Tlie negTO wife and babies of Marie Kohler, a white contractor of Paris, Ky., who until recently believed himself a negTO, have raised the race barrier between him and his newly found sister in Oklahoma. Kohler was broken hearted when he received a letter from his sister in which she declared that she wished to have nothing more to do with biro. sons were present, clergymen and laymen, six negroes were included in the number. Mayor R. O. Johnson was at last night's meeting. A temporary "committee of fifteen" was nominated by a committee'of three and this committee will go over the constitution and set out the work as well as make the permanent nominations. To Kelp The Mayor. The general opinion was that in Gary the committee should aid the city government and not confine itself to antiwhite slavery work as in Chicago. A. D. Schaeffer, secretary of the Gary Commercial club, was .the first speaker. Mr. Schaeffer, who Is the right hand club man of the president of the club and political and property representative of the steel corporation, was referred to as the gentleman responsible for bringing Mr. Thrasher of the Chicago "committee of fifteen" to Gary. Dr. Seaman, the able pastor of the M. E. church, said that if the citizens of Gary cannot complain if they do not assist the officers of their city government. A. B. Keller, business partner of Gen. Supt. Gleason of the steel plant, spoke of the need of an organization In Gary. A G. Dickson, secretary of the T. M. C. A., acted as secretary of the meeting and read the constitution of the Chicaro people. It ai proposed that the afTair be made a corporation instead of an association. This Dr. Seaman explained would avoid legal intricacies. Thus if the association went after any one and it didn't have the "goods on them" suits for defamation of character might result. If the committee were a corporation then the members would not be individually liable for damages, but suits could merely be directed against the corporation. Members. & directorate Of thirty, an executive committee of fifteen and a superintendent are proposed. C. O. Holmes Active. Upon motion of C. O. Holmes and see onded by Alderman William Feuer. vice president of the Commercial club and co-operator with William F. Hodges, Republican candidate for mayor in causing the existence of Gary"s present reform organization, the civic service commission named by President Norton is that worth to you? tell you.

of the Commercial Club and headed by Supt. Gleason of the steel plant, a provisional "committee of fifteen" was named. The chair appointed Mr. Holmes. Mr. Keller and Secretary Schaeffer of the Commercial club to nominate this committee. They named: Alderman Feuer. Secretary Schaeffer, C. W. Chase, attorney of the Civic. Service Commission. C. D. Davidson, M. E. Ridgely, Supt. W. Loyd of the Tin Mills. Supt. A. W. McArthur of the Sheet Mills. Dr. William Feder of South Side bank, John A. Brennan ot the Victoria Hotel. H. E. Graham of Ridge Road. L. W. McNamee. general auditor of the Gary steel works and Gary Land company, Joseph Frost and Ingwald Moe. contractors, W. F. Rockwell, Supt. in the steel works, Moy Davis, Rev. A. L. Johnson (to succeed Rev. Tyatt). It is said Supt. Loyd and

Mr. Brennan will not serve. Colored Men Objeot. When Messrs. Holmes, Schaeffer and Keller returned their report It was noticed that they named no colored representative. Instantly Rev. Charles Hawkins. pastor of African M. E. church, and dean of the colored clergymen was on his feet objecting. His efforts were seconded by Judge William Dunn of city court, who Insisted that as the colored clergymen and laymen had shown enough courtesy to be present that they ought to be recognized. Dr. Pyatt of Congregational church withdrew and the name of Rev. A. L. Johnson was then substituted. Clerical representatives from several churches were present, but Jewish and Roman Catholic clergymen were not at last night's meet although it was announced they would be present. If the organization Is carried through to completion and is not beset with the usual influence that big Interests try to Intrude into every Gary movement the feeling is that the broad plan recommended by Dr. Seaman of the Methodist church will appeal to persons of all religious denominations, but probably not to the politicians.

GERMANY'S MAN POWER FUST BEING EXHAUSTED By HEKET WOOD (United Press Staff Correspondent.) WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE FIELD. July 28. Germany has used one-third of her whole army since April 16 in fighting one Aisne and Champaign front. The terrific losses inflicted upon this great force has been such that the enemy is now entirely without reserve, resources of human material except the 1918 class youths. Calculation today showed since April 16 the Germans have used 71 divisions approximately 1.650.000 men on the two French fronts alone. This comprises at least one-third of the total fighting forces at Hindenburg's disposal. Raids had developed the fact that in many cases German regiments have been totally abolished.

Dsiley of Indianapolis as well us one he made last week, has set politicians gossiping, and It is said some ar worrying. . One report is that Mr. Dailey is looking into stories that witnesses in the federal election cases wer tampered with. But what' sjme really believe is that in view of the indictments returned on account of the 1914 election at Indianapolis that the government mar look into the 1914 election here. If this is done some hold that it will show the present deffendants In a better lig;it and reveal the real directors, local and out of town, of political affairs. Memories of the 1914 "soup house." the barring of newspaper men . from places where honest scrutiny mijrht be made, , still persist, and all "may come out in the wash." Friends of Mr. Dailey have boasted that he will get the real manipulators of Gary politics before he is through. 9 Hammond.
