DENOUNCE TIKUUAS

rrrla!nts continue to pour info this office from the Servian population of Gary, denouncing the publicity frtven them by one Gary ncwspnprr which stated that the Servians had banded tov'h'T to raise funis for tho irlnsc of N'ick and Pan Trkulja. two brothers in the Tolleston I'.ink robbery and murder TVn ils are also made that Xuk sni I3n Trkulja are Servians, at least m.ut ef the Servian population of Clary disown them as their count rytnen. This morning Thf. Timk.'i received the f.Mlewinfr communication which speaks for itself: "'lditcr Times: "In view of the derogatory puhlirity friv?n to the p. rhians of Gary in connections with the case of Nick and Pun Trkulja. who are repeatedly referred to n Serbians, and in view of the statements which have r en made ihrouth 'he press that the Serbians of Gary aro collecting a fund to defend these criminals. I consider it my duty to myself and to the Serbians of Gary to state tht the Trkulja brothers have never be-n recognized by our r ople as Serbians. They were never affiliated with any Serbian organization in America, and they have never taken part in ary of tha Serbian nctivities. We have never knwn that they were. Serbians until they stated so after committinK the crime. They do not come from Serbia bitt from Austria-Hungary, neither do 'they bear a Serbian name, and it is doubtful that they are of Serbian descent. "Therefore, I appeal to you. in Justice to the good name of the law-abiding and patriotic citizens of Gary who are of Serbian descent, that you kindly elimin

ate referring to these men as Serbians. "I can say most positively, and my statement can be substantiated by the prominent Serbians of Gary, that we are not collecting, supporting, nor approving of any fund to defend them. "n the other hand, the Serbians of Gary have resented such a collection nnd warned the individuals who have undertaken it for self -benefit, ns we are informed, on the percentage basis. "I speak the sentiments of our people everywhere when I ay that we condemn the crime of these ruffian. and we would be the Inst people in the world to assist them to cheat the law. "Thanking you for your courtesy, I am, "Tours very truly. "I.OI'IS R. GCKOVrCH." BRITISH BLIMP HIT BY LIGHTNING t INTERNATIONAL NtWS SF9VICE' I.'"NIXN. July 15.
