Thousands Visit Gary As Result Of Free Plant Milk Offer. The Times won a great victory tor the unemployed people yesterday. As a direct result of ' its expose or the waste of 1,700 cans of mild daily by the milk trust in Lake county, 10.000 people obtained free skimmed milk at the "surplus milk" stations of the Milk Producers' Co-operative Marketing Company in Gary and Indiana Harbor yesterday. It was estimated at noon today that yesterday's record would be broken. 1O.0OO GALLONS GIVEN'. Ten thousand gallons, the entire amount of skimmed milk that would have otherwise been. poured into the sewer at the "surplus milk" station in 1530 Madison street, Gary, was carried away by men, women and children in water buckets, bottles, pans, pitchers, lard buckets, cans and every conceivable receptacle. There was a smile on every face. Some were wan smiles for there are hundreds of undernourished children on Gary's south side in the vicinity ot the "surplus milk" station. Hundreds of people came too late, according to D. Kttcher, superintendent of the plant. The offer of the Milk Producers' Cooperative Marketing Company to give away the 10,000 gallons of skimmed milk was a direct result of The "limes expose, the storm of indignation that followed and the state and federal investigations. STORM OK INDIGNATION. . The Times called the attention ol the public and the state and lederal authorities to the fact that the mtlk supply of northwestern Indiana was being kept off the Chicago market t,y the. producers' company which controls the supply of three states. The Times broke the biggest food scandal in the history of Indiana when it reealed the amazing crime of the destruction of the milk which was poured into the sewer after the butter tat had been removed. The Milk Producers' Cooperative Maikef.ng Company took the attitude that the skimmed milk was "worthless." WIIT HIHTY !AII. Calling the waste of milk a "sin and a reflection on our civilization." Dr. Hurty, secretary of the state board ot health, in an interview at Indianapolis declared that the skimmed milk r"oresents 70 per cent of the food a!ue of the entire milk and that it is a more valuable food than tun cream. Tite largest dairy in northern Indiana sard that Hue milk producers' company coull install machinery to cau I the milk at a cost of $15,000 and could sell it at a profit. Without the vestige of an excuse left for its abominable practice ot pouring thousands of dollars of foil into the sewers dally, the Milk Producers Co-operative Marketing Company offered to give the milk away. The offer was accepted with such readiness thnt tne "surplus Matins' were literally besieged yesterday ana today. It was one of, the most unusual sights ever vrii-S.sspd in Gary. The caravan startrc early in the morning and continued until after noon until the supply was exhausted. PeopI came from every direction and carried every kind of a container imaginable. Mr. Kercher states that tree milk will be given away eery day as long as the supply lasts and the people want it. FREE SAVS AGE. Another unusual sight was witnessed at the plant of the Superior Sausage Works at 1742 Madison street. Bmiu how or other the word had been passed around that the company would distribute free sausages. Another mob j confronted Proprietors N'oe and Fox. Noe and Fox have done much to assist in feeding the unemployeel on the south side, having furnished a number of south side churches with free sausages to be served to the idle army. They had not intended to hand out the sausages pcrmisouousiy but when the crowd began to gather tl.ey decided to go ahead and let the people have the frankfurters. About a pound was given to each person. Wednesday of next week the proprietors state that they will give away a thousand pounds of sausages i between the hours or U o clock noon and two o'clock.

E. Chicago Mayor Given New Title Judge McCormack Makes the Laws " Says Citizenship Applicant Hearing- of petitions for full citizenship was slowed down a little today in Judge Hardy's court in Hammond when the examiner ran into a bunch of applicants who had been before the court on several other occasions and had been delayed because of inability to answe rsome of the simple Questions. "Who is your mayor?'' asked the examiner of an East Chicago man. "Judge McCormack," was the prompt answer. "Who makes the laws in East Chicago?" "Judge McCormack." "Doesn't someone help him?" "I don't think so." A Whiting man gave the time-worn answer that Mr. George Washington is still president. He waa asked if he had ever heard of the constitution and replied that he didnt "know him." "How many children have you'.''' This question was put to an East Hammond resident. "Five," was the reply. "Name them." "Annie, Joe, Stanley, Bertha, Walter, Alex " "Hold on," interrupted the examiner, "that's more than five," Rut the applicant added Sigman and Constantina raising the total to eight. "I forgot about these last ones tin just now," he explained. An East Chicago man re-modeled the American flag by giving it fortyeight red stripes and thirteen wiiite ones. He wasn't sure just how many stars there should be. The old affair of the questionnaire of Adolph Sorensen of Hammond which aroused a fbury during the ar was revived this 'morning. When h:s questionnaire was filled out lie was said to have made the statement that he was willing to fight for Germany. However, this was later stricken from the record on the ground that he had misunderstood the terms "native land." When he appeared for finat papers this morning the examiner reminded him that his questionnaire showed he claimed exemption because he was a German subject. He denies that be intended to claim exemption and believes the error was made by the attorney. His petition h aj denied by the court.

BOOTLEGGERS 00 BIG OOSIiSS THERE Intoxicated Boys on Mid way' Rouse Wrath of Residents Sentiment was crystallized today in the Calumet avenue resident district to mak" demand upon the city that it enforce the ordinance prohibiting the exhibition of traveler carnivals. Tiie street fair which occupies halt the boulevard and vacant property on Calumet avenue from Mayvvood avenue south to th- industrial high scho d has become very unpopular with the people who live in the neighborhood. They are outspoken in declaring it to be a nuisance. Rootlegging from an automobile! load of whisky in an alley bark of the carnival was believed responsible tor the drunkenness of seventeen and eighteen year obi boys who staggered up and down the "Midway" at 11 o'clock last night. While the most flagrant forms of gambling were stopped vy the police, the wheels and oilier games of chance were tunning la-t night, together with an oriental dancink chow which had been eons ide-a 1 y moderated. The people with the carnival live !n tents back of the concessions and tins! looked upon as objectionable. The people in the vicinity of the carnival declare that the city had no right to permit a street fair in a residential district. It was pointed rut that at a time when people are f .r the large part unemp'oyeel a carnival is net a good economic influence, even though some of the reven.ues goes to a very good caue.
