Hiii!'.y vas the ink cry on yesterday's edrton of The Tim:?' which preiicted that Major Callahan would soon .-.:cie a letw r -.atin that a rciucio.i would bo made in Kast Chicago's j !'. of conscripted enlistments. hen hff was rieiicerei to the mayor's desk n t:j- city hi. 'I the following letter: j;X.-rf oi-- IMiANA v.'.-.r.'. Geneva l"& Office, Ir.il!anh(H.liS. I 'nr.sonpt inn Dept., J. sse Uschhach, Agt. August S. 1317. F:ir.k Callahan. Muor. Host Chicago. Ind. Hoar Sir: A u k-jtrum 'just recti vod from the Federal Covorn-!,-??u at Washington indicates that 'he gov eminent has made an error n 1t allocation of credits to the three jurisdiction of Luke County, ox.;sii!e of the city of Gary, and to the subdivision of Ha. Chicago. The teleKirtm ineiicutes that the p- veritment erroneor st y allocated t. Lake County, outside of Kast Chicago and Gar;-, a number of regular army credits which belonged to the jurisdiction embracing Indiana Hailv-r. Thit is. the ftovt vn merit credit oil to Lake county.

outside of East Chicago and Gary, the Indiana Harbor regular army credits when they should hav been credited to the subdivision of East Chleagx It will be necessary, therefore, for a revision of the quota for the three subdivisions of Lake county and Kii't Chicago to be made immediately and the result of buch revision will be 'forwarded to you immediately upon completion. Tours very truly. (Signed) JESSE KSfHBAfH. Conscription Agent. .; . , .-,r . rai t- V'n. ,j at this tun as o just how r...;ch of a reduction this will mean but the maycr states tint it will be between one hundred flftj and two hundred with a possibility that it will fully reach the latter figure. Since early spring Indian. Harbor has had a recruiting office with pood, live men successively in charge. If the enlistments up to date were to be taken imo consideration in the redistribution of the quotas for the districts of Li'ke county. East Chicago's assignment would be very small indeed, innsiiiuch as nearly four hundred have been sent out from the of! ice in that part of the city. This is not the esse, however. Only those that inlisted up to the. time the conscription law passed or shortly aft(r w ill I taken into consideration in thia reassignment. All that the city wants is a fair deal anil ith officials will be satistied with the reduction that l-Eiii.iiately comes in the correction of I he error. Simultaneously with the information that wil come to Last Chicago, letters will be received by the other subdivisions of the county, outside of Gary, advising them of the extra men that will have to bo conscripted from these subd'.v isions. Just us soon as the official figures relative to the various quotas were made public. Captain A. P. Twyman. of Co. L justly designated "the pride of tae Twin Cities." was among the first to see that Indiana Harbor had not been credited to East Chicago. This was apparent because all of the members of his company whose addresses were Indiana Harbor were le,ft out of Hast i'hieaso credits. He placed this matter before the mayor and further investigation showed that he was correct in his premises. To tii? credit of Mayor Callahan, this

CITY flF GARY MOVES FOHJBETJEH RATES Issues Petitions Asking State to Cut Water and

Light Rates.

Formal petitions issued by the city of Gary, pursuant to orders of the common council, asking the Indiana Public Service Commission to compel the I'nited States Steel Corporation's subsidiary, the Gary Heat Li0'ht and Water company, to reduce its water, pas and electric lisht rates were issued for i rc;'ti ion today. It is the wish of Mayor n. O. Johnson and the common Ci't.nci! that 0"r,:-"j:n"! s sign the petitions. Have Two Phases. The petition is de ided into two phases. One part represents a protest against granting any increase in rates to the Indiana utilities company, but it is made only a local issue on the grounds that the Gary company would benefit and that it gets its products frorn the steel corporation and thus is enabled to hae them at a low price. Rates of the company were termed exorbitant in the council the other night, and the commissioners a-e asked to order a reduction s that the people of Gary will at least enjoy rates as low as they art in most Indiana cities. Mayor Aids People. Mayor R. o. Johnson is determined that Wall street shall n...t inflict exorh tr.nt rates on the Gary steel workers. As was shown in The Times the other day the city of Gary, which pays Trt.OOO a year for light and water Is charged $75 for each arc light while Hammond pays only $52.50. Th? mayor toid the council that Garyites must pay four times as much as Chicago people do for water. And it a;i comes trom the same lake.

CHANCE FOR BIG BROTHERS "T5ig Brothers'' can "do their bit" by pavii.g the expenses of Hammond Sammies who are anvious t visit home before leaving for France. Many of the 1'ovs and their parents rar.not stand the railroad expenses, making it hard for them to see each other. It would he a worthy move and one the soldier boy would never forget. The kind "Big Brother" can do lot of good. He is asked to notify Serjeant Welch, Hammond recruiting officer.

;ng Damage of $3fn was caused. Chief (irant and his men quickly put an end to the (ire, caused by an electric flat iron.

SUIT TO OUST DARKY BARBER A ftiit to obtain possession of property rented to Charles Clark, a ncpro, has been started in the court of Justice Ames in Hammond, by John W. Barker, who alleges hi a complaint pre pared by Reilly S- Murray that the premises of his place on T'lumnier avenue, near the Hotel Carletton, has been used for unlawful purposes, including gambling.

Chesterton, where Jeffrey and Morgan, the Gary and Chesterton bankers have, their headquarters, verifies The Times" story that the linn is to erect a seven-story building in Broadway, Gary. The Tribune says: "The first seven-story building to be built in Gary will be erected 'by Jeffrey fe Morgan, beginning some time this month. A location has been secured on Broadway between Fifth and Sixth streets, and is probably one of the most central points in that city. Four store rooms will occupy the lower floor, with an arcade leading in the center to the rear half of that floor, and the rear half of this floor will be used as quarters for the Union Trust and Savings Bank. The next two floors will lie used for offices, and the next four floors will be fitted up regardless of expense for a high class hotel, with a roof garden One of the best hotel men in the country lus been secured to take over the hotel. The upper four floors will be above surrounding buildings ami will give every room ample air and light. Mr. Jeffrey has been very busy for some time past on this undertaking, and those who know him and his methods icd not be assured that there wil! be nothing superior in Gary to it."
