FRENCHMEN

VISIT GARY

The three young Frenchmen who visited Gary last week excited a great deal of interest and favorable comment among all with whom they came in contact. They were Marcel Laine-Lamford, Charles Grivel and Teddy Krieglt. Laine-Lamford is the son of a well known painter and professor of fine arts. He has studied painting since the age of 12 and exhibited in the Salon in Paris for the first time at the age of 17. When the war broke out he was at the head of a big studio for advertising artistic posters. He enlisted in the Light Cavalry of the 7th French Chasseurs, later he was transferred to the French Navy where he organized in co-operation with the British Base at Toulon. He has two naval medals for saving lives at sea and five rescues and the Allied Memorial medal. He was one of the organizers of the Boy Scout Movement and is now the general Scout Master for the South of France. Teddy Kriegk enlisted in 1914 In the French army and served until the armistice was signed. He enlisted as a private and was promoted to First Lieutenant and served in the capacity of flag bearer of his regiment, the 206th Infantry. He has the Medille. Militaire and the Croix de Guerre with three citations. He was wounded 3 times and blinded by gas for twelve days. He was in the bog attacks at Chatteau Thierry In 1918, and at Fisnes in the same year as Liaison Officer, with the American Troops. Charles Grivel served in the Red Cross with the French Algerian regiment on the front line on the Marne in 1914, in Champaigne in 1915. He was in Verdun in six big battles and last in the Vosges in 1917. He also received the Croix de Guerre for gallant conduct. He organized a great many Foy ers in France, on the front, in the North and in the South for the French colored troops. These young men have been sent to America to study American Y. M. C. A. methods and are shortly to return to France where they will be identified as leaders in this great movement among the French people. This is an outcome of the successful work the Y. M. C. A. did in the French Army during the war. It so impressed itself on French people that they have insisted on its being adapted in their country in civilian life. An informal dinner was given to the French party by the Directors, Trustees, and some other friends of the local association . Short talks were given by the guests and Laine-Lamford proved to be especially happy in his remarks. He speaks excellent English. He expressed his great admiration for America and American methods and stated that he thought that the Americans and the French understood each other much better than the politicians of the two countries would have us believe. Among those who spoke were A. A. Ebersole of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. S. H. Reck and A. B. Dickson of Gary.

Commission Hears Rate Pleas Today Attorneys for" the Hammond. Whiting & Kast Chicago liailway company, and the municipalities of Hammond, Whiting and Kast Chicago, are today presenting their sides of the case iu the pennon of the street railway company for an increase of fare in the tlirve cities. The hearing is being hold in room 3 at the Hammond court house. F.. I. Lewis, chairman cf the Public

service commission of Indiana, is pre- partmcnls of tho big Gary stotl mills.

GARY ADOPTS "SUNLIGHT TIME" To conform with the new day light saving ordinance which was passed by a unanimous oto of the city council at a special session Friday evening, Gary lurried its time ahead one. hour Saturday at midnight and this morning business started one hour earlier. Some people missed thur dinners, some were late fur church and shows and others arrived at the stations to find that their trains had ilcpartrd. F.ut all m all. the sticl city residents happily al justed llumfihis t" the new "simiight" time. , At a. m. Saturday morning the newtime went int. efftet in all the dc-

siding at the hearing. Attorney Fred Crumpacker is presenting the cate of the street car company, while W. W. McM&hon represents Hammond; M. K. Crites, Last Chicago and Gait &. Hal?. Whiung. F. J. Smith, bander and real estate dealer of Whiting, was the first witness called by those opposing the petition. He expressed the opinion that the present situation as to labor and material costs would continue for at lt-a.-t 15 months. He does not look for any material reduction in wages before then. Material prices will come down first, ho said, but the drop will be slight in the next year and a half, lie beliexes that wages will drop to a new level, but w:!l necr be as low as the old pre-war rules. , In answering questions put by Attorney Crumpacker. Mr. Smith said that his banks steer clear of railroad and public utility stocks and bonds as there is so much uncertainty attached to them and there is plant y of other paper wh. h brings good returns. Mr. Smith has built close to half a million dollars worth of houses for workmen in the last year. He said tho majority of these were located handy to plants so that the workmen would not have to depend on street ears. Speaking of the amount of travel over the Whiting part of the system he said that about 90 per cent of tho traffic was to Chicago and the remainder between Whiting and neighboring cities. Whiting, he sa s, does not depend much on the Green line for transportation within the city limits. A. M. Turner, president of the First National bank of Hammond, and former owner of the street car line. wa3 the r.ext witness called. His testimony was intended to show the eondit.on of the company at the time he disposed of h:s interest in 1300. He had operated it from 1S93. The different extensions and improvements were discussed and an idea of the value of the property was obtained to supplement the figures which will be furnished later by accountants.

it is probably that the hearing extend over until tomorrow noon.

Hundreds of out of town workmen m

the South Chicago district arried on tho job an hour early yesti rday. not knowing that nil the suburban trains cnterii'g the city had moved their time ahead to conform with the ljy li;;ht saving plan. They started an hour early so as net to be late for work. The new time does not effect the through trains however. Contrary to reports the Gary banks will opcu Recording lo the new lima.

DOMINANT FIGURE AT CONVENTION

HARDING TAKES DAY FOR GOLF fContlnued from page one.) The senator is located temporarily at his Washington avf. home in this city. His Marion. T).. home is being made ready for his occupancy during such period of his campaign as he decides to remain there. "In the mass of business requiring his attention were thousands of telecrams and letters from personal friends congratulating him on his nomination and pledging support. On the train coming in fim Chicago he received telegrams from Senator Fall, of New Mexico, and Theodore K. Burton, of Ohio. SAYS PEOPLE RE FORTI" ATE "You know how I fopl personally." wired Senator Fall. "The people of the U. S. are to be connratu.airij. Your nomination is equivalent to an election and you relection means a return to sanity, the restoration of law and order, and peace to all the wrld . " Former Senator Burton Is a candidate for nomination fr congress in Ohio. 'U'hen these primaries are ovpr hr- will be glad, he said, to be at the services of Senator Harding in the campa ign . An offer by Senator Ball, of Delaware, to lend temporarily, the services "f his office force to assist in clearing up the mass of immediate work was accepted gratefully hy Senator Harding. The office staffs were united and today tackled the mass nf congratulatory letters and telegrams. MWV LEADERS ON TRAIN During the ride from Chicago to Was h ington the senator rested. The special conventfon train carrying him to Washington raced across his native state, Ohio, during the early hours Sunday, without knowledge by Ohloans that it carried the republican presidential nominee. There were a fewstops, but no crowds had gathered at the stations and the Sabbath quiet was unbroken. On the train were Senator LVdg. Smoot. Frances. "Poindexter and Sutherland and former Senators Jonathan Bourne. Jr., of Oregon, and Joseph Bristow. of Kansas. Charles Glover, president of a leading Washinpaon hank, and James Francis Burke, of Pittsburgh.

LABOR IS COMPLAINING Now- comes the cry from labor that Bosse. the wealthy manufacturer of EvansVjlIe, has acted in bad faith with lifcer and has repudiate! by his actions the things that he professed to believe in at the state convention. The charge is made by John T. Cosgrove, first vice-president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, that Iiosse has acted in bad faith in regard to his proposed belief in the principle of collective bargaining. It is pointed out by Mr. Cosgrove that Bosse has maintained that he was an advocate of the collective bargaining plank in the democratic platform, but now- that a real test has come to him to demonstrate it he has fallen down. Mr. Cosgrove declares that Mr. Bosse is a principal stockholder in tne Evansville furniture factories wnere 2.o0fl mill workers are on strike and that committers of these workers have been refused conferences with the employers. i The predicament that Bosse himself is in is of small moment when taken into consideration with the blow that was given to democratic hopes when the republicans brought about a solution of the league of nations issue in the adoption of a conciliatory plank at Chicago. This has knocked a

i curve into democratic hopes for they confidently expected some dire split j in the republican party. It was this J hope that led the democratic leaders

to wink at the members of their own ranks who voted the republican ticket i

in the Indiana primary for they believed that the G, O. P. could never get the radical antl-leaguers in harmony with the reservationists. Foxy Tom Tacrgart forgets his habitual suavity when he discusses this topic. It is not customary for Taggart to break down and "ball out" his political opponents, but tn this case the boss is so aroused that he is saying all kinds of nasty things about the men at Chicaeo because they were able to unite the party on the subject of the treaty. Taggart's complaints are hailed with joy by the republicans here who look upon his state of mind, as an excellent indication t p he has grave fears that all will not k; well for his party in November.
