LAKE GIVES UP VICTIM While Searchers Were at Work in Lake, Waves Bring Body Ashore. While searchers were diligently dragging the lake 500 feet from shore at Miller Beach for the body of Howard B. Sfcbree, the Gary laundry driver who braveU death and the hijfh, waves and was drowned Sunday afternoon, it flouted ashore, yesterday noon. At r.rst It was believed that the body was confined ii the depth between two sand burs and the search was instituted several hundred yards out in the lake; where Sebree went to his death. Tho lake, has been very rough for several days and H is quit evident that the strong under-current brought the botiy into shore. The body was first seen by fourteen-year-old Alvin Baldwin. 2S03 K. Seventyninth St., Chicago, floating shoreward, and calle! for assistance. The remains wr brought to Williams' morgue in Gary and prepared for burial. Yesterday evening' the Rev. Tomes, of the Christian church, conducted simple services at the chapel at 8 o'clock. Accompanied by Thomas Fenton. head of the Fenton Consolidated Cleaning & Dyeing Co., of Cincinnati, a cousin of the young man, the body waa taken to Crown Point, frim where it was shipped over the Pennsylvania to Cincinnati. TO PLAN FOR .Action of Memorial Committee to be Decided by Sentiment of Citizens. Public sentiment will guide thei memorial committee in their decision, for a fitting memorial for the fallen and returned heroes, which is to be erected in Gary in the future. This was the drcision reached by the committee in a con-j ference w ith Mayor Hodges. No definite steps were taken at the meeting as it was recommended to first get the sentiment of the residents of tho city and see what kind of a memorial would be the most fitting as well as popular. It was also recommended that the sentiment of the returned soldiers he accepted and with so many Gary residents also being in favor of a memorial building as the most fitting tribute, it is probable that the voice of the people will be for a building of that sore. At the meeting Dr. Simon J. Toung was named temporary chairman and Mrs. O. C. Wick temporary secretary. The next report of the committee is expected to be given to the council about October 8. Careless Shampooing Spoils the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soap3 and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is Mullfted cocoanut oil shampoo which is pure and greaseless, and is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfu'.s will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsifted cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Adv. LADIES!

VOICE OF pIe o p lTe OrrEKS A NEW PLAJT. Tto Editor Times: The street car situation has now become a serious matter, not only to the busines men but to the Industries of the entire Calumet district. But why put alf the blame on tho councilmen. They are the chosen representatives of all the people and no doubt would be willing to meet the street car company half way but it looks to the man in the street as though the street car company were not willing to accept a compromise. Hammond Is an old city and has nothing but an interurban street car service. I understand the street car company says they cannot operate with the increase of pay to their employes under a 7c fare. This may bo true but in order to verify this matter I would suggest the city grant them the privilege f charge 7c for 30 or GO days and put a man on each car to check up the fares and nt the expiration of that tlnrs it will be proen whether or not the service cannot be maintained for less and then allow them to continue at that rate providing that they give the public a ten minute service with a city line forming a belt line over Hohman by way of Hoffman. Calumet and over the new line but why sell the city's "birthright for a mess of pottage." CITIZEN. GOMPERS FOR STRIKING ACTORS f INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE) NEW YORK. August 27.

CHICAGO SHOPMEN ARE CALLED Continued from pare one. j the attitude of the officials would be "to cross that bridge when they came to it." Will KNOW IN TWO WEEKS. Ordinarily, labor leaders pointed out, it would require about three weeks to take a strike vote among the half million workers involved. But in thi instance orders have been given that the balloting be expedited and the returns made by wire, wHh the poatiioilii y that the result wuld be known at tin end of two weeks. Bert M. Jewell, head cf the railroad employes division of the A. '. of 1... with which the shopmen are anijiattd. refused today to predict what the outcome of the balloting would be whether the men would accede to President Wilson's decision that there be no general wage increases until the government had shown its ability lo check the rising costs of living, or whether tin y will stand out for their original denial. d of a raise to 85 cents an hour. SECKBT BALLOT DIMBSBNT. At the same time, however, he expressed the belief that because the ballot would be a secret one there would be a much larger vote in favor of accepting the president's proposal than there would otherwise be. ''There are many shopmen, I think, who might be carried off their feet and vote to strike were they to take an open ballot." said Jewell. "But with the vote a secret one. those inclined to be conservative, would be able to register th'-ir attitude without being swayed by any other influence." The letter sent to the shopmen caring for the" strike vote was. in the option of Mr. Jewell, "a very conserv.n i e one.." He pointed out today that U.: communication laid especial stress upon the fact that if theere is to be any w.-igo Increases for railroad employes thi.shopmen would get tho sam consul.' itlon and that it was ivr.pros vc! upon the shopmen vuld get th. snom oonsiu ;i -time. they would striki; alone to f ice an increase for 2 000,000 railroad employes.
