A'ter sticking around Lours the sub left them. The destroyer picked up the crew shout 11 o'clock that night and brought them back to Brest. They were on the rafts and in life boats about 1 hours brfoi"e picked up. The life preservers, the same ns we have, held the fellows up fine, but none were in the water very long. The Germans sure got a prize when thy got the Lincoln. We sent a lor of r'o;Vt"s. tobacco, etc.. to the survivors. They were put cn another ship io K-i beck to 'he States.

Jackson, brakeman on the troop train, said that after the wreck he sawFireman Klauss who appeared dazed, and thinking he was Injured, advised that he go in one of the coaches and lie down. Conductor Johnson said that Sargent appeared normal when h talked to him while the train was standing at Michigan City. "Th only way T knew the accident could be caused was that Sargent had died at the throttle or was asleep," said Johnson. Deputy Coroner Green then brought up another matter. "The Lake County Times last night had o piece which indicated that some lives might have been saved if they had reached the hospital sooner," said Green. "I want to show whether everything was done that could be done which I know is a fact." Sergeant of Police John Kunz was called to the stand. H testified that he had telephoned E. J. Burns, an undertaker to send his ambulance to Ivanhoe. but at that time did not know how- bad th wreck was. and that Biyns had replied that his ambulance was In Chicago being repaired.

' cago housing to take rare of local needs were brought out. Briefly, the following were the strongest of then arguments : ''hicago Industrial plants are goon tc rerr-Ue more and larger war contracts Workmen living In Chicago wiil naturally seek employment in nearby plant. The effect that this would have on Gary. Hammond and East Chicago do's not need to be elaborated. Even the semi-ski'led class of workmen do not remain content on their jobs If they have to ride more than 85 to 4 minutes to and from their work Plant managers cannot induce men to work overtime when they have to travel long distances to and from their homes This handicaps emergency production. When departments are made up largely of men living In other towns, especially Chicago, the few days following pay day are marked by great reductions in the number of men that show up for work. This greatly handicaps production and increases the already high coal of labor turnover. It will be impossible to secure steam road transportation frequently enough to accomodate the many groups of met that change turns almost very hour o) tho day and night. But eren if it wen possible, steam road transportation ii too high to make it feasible. Street car facilities, while cheaper, are to slow. Hours would he consumed tha' might le put otherwise into rroductivs toll. Messrs. McClatchey and Kelley, a representatives of the government, are asking the intercity housing coramitt' to become a recognized part of the administration and to establish employment and housing centers in the several cities. They rropose right now that a survey be made to determine the emptj houses, tha vacant buildingf that conbi bo ma le over into rooming houses, the number of rooms in private homes that ar available, etc. The committees of the three cities of Gary. Hammond and East Chicago have agreed to undertake this task. And it Is understood that as soon as it is finished, a delegation will go to Washington ard press the claims of this district for a larger recognition.
