STATE DELVES INTO AFFAIRS OF OLD AETNA (TIMES BUREAU AT STAIfc CAPITAL INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Oct. 5 Emil Saxen, treasurer of the town of Aetna, is charged by the state board of accounts with being short $1,102.5 in his accounts. The grand jury will hear the evidence. The town of Aetna no longer exists. Prior to Its being absorbed by the city of Gary, Aetna had a town board ot which Saxen was th- treasurer. Sajien is said to have departed from Aetna three years ago when the Aetna powder works closed down. Tltt above dispatch conflicts with the rumor which was circulating in Gafy today to the effect that certain officials of the once famous and now dismantled plajit of the Aetna Explosives Co. at Aetna, cast of Gary, are to be questioned as to a shortage of some $1,500 on the books, of the treasurer. Recent investigation of the books of the old Aetna Explosives Co. by ttate field examiners who have been working in Lake county for more than a year is said to have resulted in the disclosure of the shortage. It is also reported that the report of the state field examiners is now in the hands of Prosecuting Attorney Dwight M. Kinder, of Gary, for further investigation. Those named in connection with the shortage according to information are: "Doc" H. B. Thomas, chemist at the plant and well known Gary man, Kmil A. Saxer, treasurer, Ed. Larson, clerk, and H. I'. Reb hard, trustee. It is alleged that these shortages occurred during the war when the plant was operating full blast making explosives for the allies, and the result of the distribution of bad check It was about a year ago that a company of Gary men headed by C. E. Wirt, as president of the Aetna Iron and Steel Co., purchased the old Aetna Explosive Co. plant and site, intending to start a big independent steel plant. After extensive plans had been made to construct the plant, officials of the concern experienced financial difficulties and the concern went into the hands of a receiver. FORMER SOPT.

For years these notorious resorts were known throughout northern Indiana and northern Illinois.
