EAST CHICAGO YOUTH IN SERIOUS TROUBLE

Shadowing the mournful figure of a disillusioned youth the round, inflexible, iron bars of a cell in HifMmond Central police station runetuate another chapter in the life of a lad who has had many bouts with the law and whose misfortune it has been to lose out in I ich encounter. Today Taul Rosen inkle doesn't soh for his embezzlement of $171. which he is alleged to have stolen from the Eat Chicago Diary last Sunday. And he

doesn't sob for the forged note for $$30 which he cashed esterday. But he is heartbroken that she will have to know all about his criminal career. She lives on the North Side. The ouptials were to have been celebrated June 12. But the law is as unromantic as the annual report of the city comptroller and hence raul languishes in a cell awaiting trial. Paul first flames through these columns, it will be recalled, when he passed several checks, well written, nice and legible and all that, but lacking the funds to back them up. His trial on that charge has been dragging in the city court for over a month. In the mean time he was released on bonds to get a job and recuperate financially. He sought work in East Chicago and got it.. As driver and collector for the East Chicago Dairy company. Paul circulated amongst that city's milk-fed citizens and proved a veritable boon to his employers when it came to collecting. Paul could exact and extract old bills from the most hardened tight-fist. Last Sunday Paul is alleged to have de-camped with $171 of the company's funds. Of course payment of the bills was long ago given up by the company, but Paul did what time and the lawyers couldn't do. and according to Paul he was entitled to some of that money, anyway. The police In East Chicago are holding a warrant for his arrest. Testerday Paul passed a forged not and collected, it is said. $StO. The names forged to the note were Paul Weims and Jacob Sehroeder. For this last infraction of the law the culprit's bonds were fixed at $2. "-00 and affidaiits were filed in the criminal court at Crown Point.

Among local establishments to adopt the day-light saving feature one of the lrt was the Conkey plant where the system went into effect the first of the irrnnth. Railroad offices here said Chicago's aetien would have no effect on train schedules. Mavor Brown when asked whether a srpecial meeting of the city council would b called said that he could see no res"n for Hammond adopting" day-light saving unless all ther eitie-s in the Calumet region did like-wise. Any discussion by the city ceuncil will he deferred until the next regular meeting of that body on June 15th.
