CONCERTED ACTION IS LACKING Hen Do Not Believe Hammond Will Do Anything For Them.

Ex-service, men of Hammond are so discouraged over the war and the way they have been treated since returning home from the army and navy, they refuse to enthuse over anything which the city majr propose for their benefit at this late day. That was tho way TV. W. E. Nichols himself a former service man, explained . the attitude of the boys and accounted for th low attendance of former soldiers and sailors at the meeting last eveningto discuss the proposed Memorial Athletic Park. "I believe that since the war I have been in about as close touch with the boys as anyone in Hammond," said Dr. Kichols. "I have talked with them on many subjects and find that the majority of them are disgusted with the way they have been treated and laugh when I speak of something which the city might do for their benefit. I've had this Memorial Park subject up with probably a. hundred of them in the last few days. They all agree that it certainly would be great but they always say that Hammond will never do such a thins for them. As for getting the iboys to take concerted action for the park, it's a hard matter, for all my ar guments are met by the assertion that it Is placing the boys in a position of asking the city to pin a medal on them and they will never do that. "The boys were sent away with a hip and hurrah but when the war was over, they were allowed to slip back home without & murmur from the public Hundreds of them loafed around for months becaus the old Jobs which they had left had been taken by other men. Theyi had been promised these Jobs back on their return but once more they were disappointed because their old employers refused to turn out a man who was found working for less money than had been paid the man who entered the service." The ex-service men. present, while taking a more liberal view of the proposition than that pictured by Dr.. Nichols, agreed that that was the attitude of the majority of their buddies In Hammond. Attorney Joseph Oonroy took a different view of the matter. He believes that the soldiers and sailors should get together and do things. "The hope of this country and the ideals of America depend upon these men," said Mr Conroy. "Following the Civil War, th returning veterans had the same conditions to contend with but when they succeeded in organizing about ten years after the war, they made their influence felt. The same thing is bound to happen in te present instance. "When the four million veterans of this country come to their senses they will get together and they're going to run this country for a while. "For my part. I am perfectly content to leave tho affairs of America In the liands of its ex-servlco men. They eooner they take control the better. 1 wish it could happen within thirty days." Mr. Conroy is a strong campaigner In favor of the Mamorial Park and promised to do everything he could between now and Tuesday evening to create sentiment in favor of the project which is ence more to be submitted to the city council. It was decided at the meeting to go head with the circulating of petitions. Frank O'Rourke has prepared 350 of the ijpetitlons and today they were placed ln all fatcories, fraternal societies and (Individuals in all parts of the city. (These will be returned Tuesday to Mr. (Frank Martin at the Hammond Savings tA Trust Co., who will present them at the council meeting that evening. Action on the new petitions may be forestalled by a reconsideration of its former action by the council. Several members who voted to rescind at the last meeting have since decided that it Is a bad move to throw the project Into the election and risk having it made a political issue. These aldermen say they will gladly vote to revive the old petition. A now feature which has come to light in the last few days has caused many taxpayers to look with disfavor on the plan to delay the project until the November election. It has been learned that a petition is to be presented to the county commissioners soon for tho erection of a county memorial: If this goes through before , Hammond's project Is started, Hammond will have to pay Its share of It. Hammond then would be forced to pay again if it erects a. memorial of Its own. If the Hammond plan goes through first, the city wlll be exempt from paying for . the county memorial also. Frank O'Rourke told some of the ptorles which he has heard misrepresenting the memorial and trying to create sentiment against it. One wm to the effect that Mr. O'Rourke has options on land on which he wished to have the yark erected and another was that he wanted to put the project over and then "use it for campaign propaganda in running for a city office. He emphatically denied that he had options on any Teal estate and said he didn't give a continental where it was located just so Hammond put it across. As to his ambitions politically he took occasion to announce that no city office could bo forced on him. He will not be a candidate'

3 BOOZE

RUNNERS

ARE HELD After making statements which may aid materially in the government's efforts to break up underground traffic In whiskey between Canada and the United States, John ValentI and Tony Fildren of Pullman and Henry Draginl of Detroit, the three booza runners captured Wednesday night near Gary, were this morning 'bound over to the federal grand Jury. In the preliminary hearing before U. B. Commissioner Srprley .the men waived arraignment and began trying to find bondsmen. The two Pullman men are each under $2,000 bonds and Draglnl's bond was fixed at $500. Draginl is a mete boy, who had been engaged by the other men to pilot them back from Detroit.

During the railroad sBrlke last year when shipments by freight were un certain, Draginl was one of the hundreds of men employed by automobile manufacturers to pilot cars overland. He, made numerous trips from Detroit to Chicago and wu well acquainted with the road. He was to receive $20 and his carfare home for doing the work. Fildren, who owned the car, was pretty blue today. He explained that ne had spent considerable money In setting the machine ready for this first trip and that twice on the way back it was necessary to hire horses to pull the car from mudholes. Although they talked freely of the manner In which they had obtained information aa to how to obtain Canadian whiskey in Detroit, the men were not able to furnish namea of the men 'with whom they had made their bargain. However, the story nooks up well with other information now in the hands of prohibition officials and may prove valuable. Draginl was able to obtain band and It was believed this afternoon that ValentI and Fildren would have matters arranged so that they might be released. They will appear before he federal gTand Jury at Indianapolis in its April session. FOR U.S. L WASHINGTON, March 11. Linus P. Meredith, of Richmond.

BUSH. "Sec. to the Governor.-' Senate bill 363 Is the Wolf Lake harbor bill and Is the first step lc a mammoth project that will not only be the greatest thir.g that ever happened to Lake county, but will porride the United States with the only inland harbor in the world. The bill provides an appropriation of 125,000 for tha purpose of investigating and reporting on ways and means to construct the huge harbor. Beflre the harbor becomes a rea'.ity. the Illinois legislature must pass a similar bill appropriating a like sum for the salaries and expenses of the Investigating ommittee and ater their report the olan must be endorsed and taken up in whole or in part by the United States government. Part of the expense will probably fall on the two states ir which the harbor will be located. U Is a long step from the present situation to where the harbor becomes a reality, for in a project of this size and Importance the thing cannot be done in a day. The Wolf Lake harbor will make the Great Lakes and especially Lake Michigan the Mediterranean of North America. It will provide the middle west with a direct water route to any port in the world, eliminating the extra trouble and expense of shipping goods to the Atlantic or Pacific by rail. It will relieve the congestion at these points for both incoming and outgoing freight. It will provide the government with a source of revenue In docking privileges that should pay for the harbor In a few years. It will make Chicago and Northern Indiana by far the greatest railroad Industrial and shipping center In the world. To make the harbor adequate, !.-. present canal must be widened and deepeaed to a depth of thirty feec at least, and Wolf Lake must be dredged out and the depth Increased. Land must be bought far enough back from the lake to insure the government plenty of room for docks and railroad terminals. People In this region -r-anxiously waltln- for the action the Illinois legislature. If they duplicate the action ut the Indiana group, a bong step toward the completion of the project will have been made. GENERALS WASHINGTON, March 11.

HE GAVE OFFICER A HARD CHASE A fleet-footed Hammond negro nearly got away with a daylight robbery late this morning. The man i.Tom Clark, who gave his address a.525 Ames avenue. Three days ago Clark entered Unclothing store of Aaron Jlgay on th corner of Hohmjn street and Plumrner avenue, and offered Jlgay a coat for sale. Jigay at first refused to 'buy the garment, but Clark told him a hard luck story about being out oi funds and hungry so Jigay gavo him $3 for the coat. Clark hung around the place for two days, evidently looking the ground over for the contemplated robbery. This morning he again entered the store and offered the same coat for sale that Jigay had bought from him two daya before. The .supposition is that Clark had watched his opportunity and had stolen the coat and perhaps some other merchandise while Jigay's back was turned. Jigay was of course amazed to see the same garment that he supposed was hanging in the back of the store where he had left it. and he went iback to investigate. The moj ment his back was turned, Clark Jerked open a drawer in a desk nearby and selling a handful of bills he bolted for the door. As Clark ran out of the store and headed west down the alley between .State street and Plummer avenue. Motorcycle Officer Hfnson spotted him and gave chase on his machine, and at the same time Officer Stelow headed down State street, running parallel with the negro. Clark must have been pretty badly scared, for he literally flew down the alley. Henson hot on his trail. The officer's twin Harley was wide open, but tthe negro reached Morton court well In front of the motorcycle. He rushed into th front door of the blacksmith shop on the corner of State street and Morton court Just as Henson drew up at the rear. When Clark found his efrape cut off at the back, he rushed out of the front again and Into the arms of Stelow. who arrived at that moment. At the station Clark gave his age as IS, but he is a big fellow and looks older. As Clark was being booked a colored man by the name of John Collins came In and charged Clark with picking lit. pocket for $60, so th"re will probably be two count." for the speedy negro to answer for in the morning In court. His loot from Jigay was $2S. exactly the sum found on him when arretted. He Is booked on a charge of rebbery. GRIFFITH HAS BA2JK OPENING GRIFFITH. Ind., Mirth 11.
