GLlIIUP II GARY

Pursnant to peremptory orders from the state board of health attaches of the Cary board of health today began a canvas of Broadway and Washington sueets as a first r.tep toward correcting housing conditions. Orders were given to landlords and tenants by Health Inspectors Porter and Hubinger that all baseiierit beds must be abandoned within five days. Kindly and cautious methods -will be employed at firs t, but If the?e do not prevail force will be used. The slate health board, in compliance with the wishes of the war department, has been tackling housing conditions in Gary. Hammond, Whiting. East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. Herding together of workmen, indiscriminate mixing of the white and colored races may tend to breed disorder and riots, it Is feared. First Move At Gary. It is estimated that from 800 to 1.000 Gary steel workers are forced to sleep in cellars. Beds used by the night shift are occupied at night by the day shift. In one cellar in Broadway, between 4th and 5lh avenue, nine GreekB were found to be sleeping in a filthy and unventilated place. Conditions in the south side are even worse. It is said hundreds of colored workmen have been imported without the least concern being made for their temporary housing. As a result certain conditions have arisen and it is charged that the offending corporations have apparently tried to hide their negligence by having their political agents start fake reform crusades against the city administration in order to direct attention from their own capability. ' t May Build Earracki. With housing conditions terribly congested it is believe that steps may be taken either by the government or

employers tc build cantonments or bar-! racks for single workmen. Some of the steel plants at Youngstown and In

diana arbor have done this with a view of relieving the- situation.

T STATION TROOPS OR II. S. CONSTABULARY HERE

Authorities Also Consider State Militia Plan. Whether federal troops, a United States constabulary or state militia shall be used to protect local munitions plants should the occasion require it is now under consideration at Washington. The states as a matter of fact are not really required to' give the protection, but in Indiana' a home guard militia is under way with companies having been organized in Gary. Hobart, East Chicago and Lowell. Whether these units or a special force of United States constables, yet to be organized, or troops will be employed in cases of emergency is still a debatable subject. Inspection Sera. The new Indiana state militia will take on the aspect of reality beginning Thursday, when Colonel Charles A. Garrard, commanding the 1st regiment, will begin a tour of Indiana cities to muster in units of the new organization, which already have been formed. Tomorrow he will go to Shelbyville and from there go to Lake county cities. Early next week he will go to Evansville. Oakland City and other southern Indiana points. This new state militia will be organized with a view to service only within the borders of the stale of Indiana, and will be, of course, subject to the will of fhe national government in handling such military problems as may pertain to alien enemies, municipal disorders, etc Behind this inquiry is a tentative decision on the part of the government to use state militia wherever it is available in enforcing the President's proclamation with respect to alien enemies. Every effort is to be mad to stop the destruction of property by enemy aliens and to suppress labor troubles where it is plain that they are due to alien influence. These inquiries purpose to find out to what extent and in what manner the state militia units and the constabularies will co-operate with a special force of federal police, semi-military in EXONERATED Mike Patchman. 4750 Melville avenue. East Chicago, who wss before the grand jury of this county charged with tha murder of Louis Solae on June 13, when a fight occurred in P&tchman's back yard, has been exonerated. The trouble originally arose over the rental cf a certain property belonging to Patchman but which was occupied by Solae. patchman wanted posseession and Solae came to Fatchman's house while the owner was asleep and entered into an argument with Mrs. rntchman. ilike was disturbed and finally got. up and came down stairs. The argument continued and Solae grabbed a knife and started for his landlord. Patchman backed up about fifty feet but when he reached his woodpile he reached down and graba club and hit Solae over the head. The skull was fractured and the injured man was taken to the hospital. On July 7 Solae died. Evidence showed, however, that death was not caused by the injury but by a complication of diseases. ratchman was defended by Meade & Royce. CITY MUST DO The matter of sanitary and housing conditions in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, seriously engaged the attention of the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce of that city yesterday noon. It was pretty generally acknowledged fhat city officials and citizens had been lax and lenient in the enforcement of the housing law and the sanitary ordinances of the city and that this city should at once take the initiative in instituting a clean-up campaign. Relative to the board of health of the city the statement was publicly made that at the present time there was no legal board of health in East Chicago nor had there been for many months: that the law requires the appointment of three men and that there has been but two men on that body since the death of Dr. S. Herscovitz. The two members now recognized as officials of th board are J. F. McQuaid and Dr. J. A. Teegarden, Dr. McGutre having gone to France a few- weeks ago. In order that the people might have more definite information as to conditions and in order to get. advice as to how to correct the existing evils, it is planned to have a public meeting of citizens, manufacturers, city officials, members of the women's clubs and others interested, at the Phillips hotel next Wednesday noon. Nov. 28. An effort will be made to secure the presence of a member of the state board of health and of one or more of the representatives who were directly engaged in making a survey of the city.

character. If it shall become necessary in any part of the country to establish guarcrs about munition plants or about warehouses, in which large quantities of food are stored, or about railroad terminals, state militia will be used in case the plan that is under consideration is adopted. The department, Secretary of War Baker points out, realizes that states are not obliged to pro-

: vide this protection, and they do it will . be because they are willing to contribute this much to the general cause. Thdepartment has every reason to believe, that every state that has formed a newstate militia since it sown national guard was drafted into the federal service, or that is engaged in forming state militia since its own national operate. Questions About Troops. Thrse, questions forwarded to Adj -General Smith, of Indiana, by Colonel Carter follow: "What forces are now available in your state for this duty? "Are there any forces sufficiently strong to do the work effectively? "What facilities are there for the transportation of state guards? "What do you see in your state that needs more effective policing? "What facilities seem to be menaced by an alien population? "Will there be any objection to having state guards perform this duty under the direction of the bureau of military affairs? "Will state guards and state constabularies object to being employed in accordance with the President's proclamation?" Detailed plans for the new federal force are under preparation and soon will be ready for execution. Men above the draft age, men exempted because of dependents and others who do not jain tha fighting armies, probably will be assembled by voluntary enlistment to do the work. Old soldiers are expected to prove particularly valuable because of their army training. One part of the task will be inforcement of new restrictions on alien enemies. Waterfront areas will be ratrolled by the federal police organization. To render it thoroughly effective the department of justice will work out a system of issuing credentials to all persons entitled to enter the zones.
