GARY PAYS HIGH PRICE FOR ICE

Ice will either fall in rrU-e in Oary or drastic measures will be taken to supply the people's needs from othr sources. This was the decision of Mayor 'V. F. Hodpes today after a thorough investigation had been made of the exorbitant prices bfinjf charged in the city. Testerday Frank W. Tucker. state fool inspector was a Gary visitor and hUI a conference with Mayor Hodges o'ver the ice question. Later in the day Mr. Tucker irmde a canvass of the city with Frank Hubinser. city food inspector, and found the icemen charging outrageous prices. -"(Jary residents fire paying more for ire than any city in the state." said Mr. Tucker, "and the ice reddiers are reap

ing a harvest." It was found that the Gary ice producers do not retail their product direct to the people, but depend on the peddlers tor Its distribution to the public and who asii and charge any price they wish. The prevailing price is about 80 cents a hundred all over the city. It was reported the first price of the week that prices were going to soar to a dollar a hundred. Gary Ice consumers are indignant and know that they are bfinu soaked. The average price elsewhere In the state ia about ' cents a hundred. Chief Inspector Tucker's ire was raised when he learned of the profiteering. "Ice ran be brought to Onry at II cents a hundred or $4 a. ton," said Mr. Tucker and at a (rood margin to the distributors coilid be peddled Ht 4 cevs a hundred at a good margin " At present Gary's two ice companies are selling it to th peddlers for 40 cents a hundred charsint the consumers anywhere from Si) cents and Jl n0 a hundred for same Mayor Hodjres stated jesterday that h would take immediate steps to remedy the ire quest ion.

Denial of the chare tht the Gary police forced a confession from th Tolleston bank murd re rs following th. '.r arrest by a rigid third drgrree examination was made by t'hief Korbis this morninjf in an interview with a Timk reporter. The abnvc chartres wre made by Attorney Joo Conroy. of Hajnmond. yesterday in th case of Nick Trkulja. on trill in the criminal court at Crown Point. Attorney t'onroy has been employed as council for the defendant. "Kven before the trial started.'' said Chief F'orbis. "I was pesitue that the attorneys for the defendant would try to make this an issue as it would be their only loophole. Of course, these bf nk bandits may be put on the stand and swear that we forced them to confess, but that does not make it so. "At the time of their arrest the aarnt willingly made a full confession and plead ituilty. Nick Trkulja. of course, was the only one to plead irnorance. The men were not forced In any way with the exception of beini? questioned, whb-h W6 preserve the riRht. "Of course, it would only be naturil for th defense to try to arouse not only the sentiment of th jury, but the public as well. We can fastly prove thtit th bandits were not forced and when thy plead puilfy to the charges they w f re informed before hand w hat the sentences would be." said the chief. The police will be able to produce ample rroof.

The lengthy and bitterly fought tritl of Henry Ford's JI.Oii0.OOO libel suit

against th Chicago Tribune is expect

ed to reach its climax today when Ford himself will be called to th stand by attorneys f-r the Tribune. It is expected that Tribune attorneys

will question Ford at length concerning

h;s views of war and his theories of business and government in an effort to draw from him s-me admission of beliefs that will justify the accusation that "Ford is an anarchist" which brought about the suit. With the testimony of Ford, the taking of evidence in the tr:al virtually will be ended. Before Henry Ford takes the stand, however, Edsel Ford, son of the automobile rr.anufaturer. is to be recalled 10 complete testimony begun yesterday. The younger Ford was questioned closely regarding many details of the Ford business, particularly the so-called "pro-ft-sharing plan," which attorneys for the Tribune have characterized ai a 'humbug." It was brought out yesterday that net profits of the Ford plant in 1914 Were J30.33S.4o4. S3, and that the sales of the plant for th ten months ending July 31. 1315, were $121,130,853.83.
