SITUATION

Vice-President Adams of Inland Shows How Today's Wages Hamper CHICAGO, Jan. 26. That railroad rates and the uncertainty of their permanence Is a large factor In preventinggeneral buying of iron and steel products In the way that prevailed in the prpwar days, is the opinion of a . M. Adams, first vice president of the InJand Sfel Co., Indiana Harbor. That present high rates also are acting to localize distribution of steel, "by erecting barriers of high transportation cost between producing centers is another factor, in that it limits competition that formerly prevailed. Mr. Adams locks at this rubject from a point of view, much broader than most steel men can attain, since fie started his business life as a telegraph operator and station agent for a western railroad and spent several years In various capacities in the railroad Industry before entering the steel business . LOOKS INTO COXDITIOSS. While he believes lower rates Miuuli prevail to stimulate business and remoc the heavy burden of rates now Imposed upon all shipments, he also baa some insight into conditions facing the railroads in the high labor coeta they must meet, which affords a real argument for retention of presnt charges. . "When I wu IS years fid." said Mr. Adam. "I wis telegraph operator and tation agent In a small town in northwestern Illinois. I was paid $50 a month and also had a .mall commission oa the express cclltcilons of the station. I had a student helper and the Section raen placed one of the fwitctUights which was at distant. We scrubbed the station, delivered righf. tooU train orders, ma ft wa. ivatertank station, ani kept ail the lKks, 1-8 well as sold tickets and sent telegrams and carried the, mail to the ostoffice. "Th freight traffic from ttia station consisted of livestock and tobacco, several hundred carloads a year, and the usual packago freight for a town of 100 people. LOST IT BPSFSE'S. "At $rsent this etation haa lost the tobacco business, which now goes to a. boyiag center In southern Wisconsin and is shipped from that point. Other traffic ba not Increase!. The watertruik has been removed and practically So train orders now are sent there. The package freight haa not increased, tot. with this redaction in the volume cvf tj-aTic the railroad now" pays the etatjem agent, who wafl my student of th former days, much more than I rot pr mouth. He has a helper at nearly as much and a janitor to care or the station. The cost for1 this station thus has been increased several fold fced the Income-paying freight is Jssu - lfcis process haa been repeated at mmry point aloitg every railroad, with ha statlorunen, the section workmen and the shop mechanics. The roads ra not allowed to hire their workrtin In the open marked hut must pay wages dictated ty one government tody and must charge rates dictated t-y another g-ovcrnment body, As long as tha expense caunot be reduced rates ' "Siust stay up and the- busrinees cf the onntry enffor. f I bonestly believa I could step back j Into the old Job and d all the -work cf : that etation alone In less than an hour's application each day, and at rrrach less than the present cost to the road ." While l5is condition obtains. Mr. Aoams s-s vo help for high rates on freight tonnages. Tho readjustment thus is delayed and business is held tack. TO CONSTROCT Mayor Johnson of Gary Says He Will Leave No Stone Unturned. On top of seeing that the Gary Beach and Hobart roads are constructed next paring. Mayor IL O- Johnson of Gary is going to use every effort to push the liurna IMtch project through ar. an early ilalf, he announced before Ica'ii:pr for India-.iai'Olis this evening. He 3tated that next week he -would cair.e a committee of well known engineers and citizens to assitst in the movement and will recommend to the liurns Ditch commission to leave no stone unturned in their effort to get the big ditch under construction at an early date. "It is now time to rise up and demand it's construction." said Mayor Johnson. "The Burns Ditch will reclaim 20,000 acres of overflowed swamp land in Gary alone." The project has been in the courts and has bcs hungijifr ftre for about ten year-.. Major A. P. Mtiton and liuy Hammons. the latter now being connected with the city engineers office, made the original survey of the Burns ditch and being familiar with every step that has been taken, will in all probability be named on the committee to be given cut next week.

JITNEY MAN HELD UP AT GUN POINT Chicago, overflowing with crime, BomeUmes shakes its vigorous young head like a lion aggravated by a ven. turesome mouse, and with ttartled squeaks a handful of criminals scur ries to cover iu the clUes bordering j the metropis. I That la the explanation preferred by c hief Erall Bunde for the sudden wave j of crime that lat night kept telephones j in Hammond Central police etation ringing with disconcerting repetition. Krom the time Mike Palermo, Jitney driver, staggered Into the police station at 10 p. m. with the report that he had been held up at the point of a gun by three men, until late this morning, detectives were busy answering hold up calls, robberies and suspected banditry generally. Two other bold robberies occurred within the space of a few hours following Palermo's clash with bandits. Of these two, police have asked details of one to be eruprreased. This because they say they are about to make an Important arrest which may be frustrated by immature publication of their plans. Palermo, operating a Hohman street Jitney, picked up a trio of men at Ken- j wood and Harrison 6treets and was or- j dered to rive out Hohman street. One mile south of Kenwood he was commanded to halt. The muzzle of a revolver was pressed against his neck. He raised his hands. Then his feet. And stepped from his car. One of the trio of bandits rifled his pockets. They got 10 cash and a gold watch. They were very polite. They told Palermo they regretted very much to dump him out Into the cold, but the exigencies of the moment necessitated such drastic action. They said something more about the unreasonableness of society and the distorted motives that would be ascribed to their action. Then they drovo away and Palermo walked back to Hammond, thinking deeply all the while of the philosopherbandits. When he got to the police station ho half regretted telling the police about the three nice young men gone wrong. "If they had held up anybodyelse," said Palermo, "I don't think Td have thought so much about it." They told him before they bid h!rn adieu that they'd leave his car at Forsyth and 133rd streets. It was found at that spot at 5 a. m. today by police cf West Hammond. Palermo lives at 118 Fayette street. In the Interim between this act and the next, police received half a dozen calls from householders and pedestrians who reported strange men loitering about or following them. Then came the report that while J. F. Blum was in his basement, cellar is probably meant) thieves enterM h!o home and working through upstairs rooms, took everything they could conceal. This Included several enecks, 3 in cash, watch and Jewelry. Mr. Dlnni lives at SI Walt ham streetPolice have no trace of the robbers. Authorities do not deny th there may be considerable more crirno in, Ham-nond as Chicago makes sporadic efforts to drive out her derelicts. Swift, hard punishment is the cure, say police. The courts are promising to co-operate. WILL LI BY LAWYER Discovery of a will, made by the late Adam Edinger. of Porter county, caused a sudden bait in tha suit of Mrs. Ida B. Dysard against her brother, Alv-ah C. Ijdinger, which has been on trial in j'.oom 1 of the Hami)ioii,i superior court. Mrs. Dysard wasattempting to have two deeds set aside on the grounds that- Adam Edingcr was of unsound mind when he conveyed two tracts or land to his son. Her home Is in Porter county where the suit was first hied. Kdinger is a Hammond resident at present, although be lived on his lather's farm In Porter county for a number of years. Attorney Dan Kelly of Valparaiso who with .1. K. Stinson. of Hammond, wai representing Mr. Kdinger, recalled having drawn a will for Mr. Kdinger. but believed he had given it to Edingcr who later destroyed it. When Edlnger died the will could not be found and practically all of the property was in possession of tho son by 'virtue of the deeds which the father had made. Testimony given during the several days In -which the case as being heard by Judj; Reitcr, bore upon the mental condition of Kdinger at the time th deeds were made. Yesterday morning Attorney Kelly on arriving from Valparaiso, announced that he had found the Edlnger will among the papers at his office. As the estate was being administered, Mrs. Dysard would share only In some money held in tru6t by a Valparaiso bank. The will changes this. Iv-operty deeded to Alvah Edingcr is to be considered as advacements on his share of the estate which is to he divided equally between the two heirs. It was notd that the will was drawn the same day that Adam Kdinger drew the two deeds in question. Although the plaintiff was questioning the soundness of her father's mind in making the deeds, she was disposed to overlook his mental condition in connection with the will. Attorneys Crum packer and Pattte of Valparaiso were appearing Cor ber.

GAIN SEEN

Trade Paper Says That Chicago Expects Large Output In .Near Future With the up and downs of steel works operation in January shown in a range of 40 to 60 per cent for the Stl Corporation and 25 to 40 per cent for tlie larg-er Independent companies, th rate of new buying has been little changed, says the Iron Age It says : "The variations have leen chiefly in the rate at whlih mllla have replenished buyers' stocks In the different lines. It Is considered a favorable sisn that the mills have kept so well up to the rate of December, with the prospect that the pres-int pace can be held pending the appearance of the ' so-called seasonal demand of February or early March. Wbili orders are roroinir In consiierable numbers, the volume Is not 1mie.sive nd uncertainty sjs to the courso of prices is not relieved. On the one hand is the expectation, long disappointed, of lower freight rates; on the other hand, the expected coal strike would mean scarcity and hlghef prices In coal, coke, pig iron and steeL Thus far precautionary buying Is n -t a measurable factor In any of these lines. "At Chicago larger mill operations are expected from steel specifications on recent and pending car purchases com out. The Gary rai' mill will resume operations Jan. 80 with a threemonths' run in prospect. An Illinois' Central order for 20,000 tons of rai'.s and one from the R.ock Island for 25.000 tons are aboat to be placed. Prices on track supplies are weak and proximity of mill is more of a factor in tha distribution of business. "Railroad equipment features the export market. "Not in many months have so many new fabricated steel projects appeared aa in the past week. Including 10,000 tons for tank werk, 57.000 tons is under negotiation. Awards a.ro also laxg-e in comparison wUh recent weeks, being about 16,000 tons. The c61d wave has brought intense suffering to scores of Hammond homes. More than a dozen new calls a day are being received at city hall for relief. Some cf these come from afflicted families. Others are from neighbors who watch the devastation of empty larders and cold stoves bringing desolation, sickness and misery to people too proud to ask for aid. Both are beinpr cared for. More than $35 a day is needed to buy food and clothing alone. The demand for fuel Is even gx-cater. There is now about $1,0Q in the relief fund. It grows slowly. Testerday there were two donations. Each from a banker. These totaled 100. Disbursements average more than 150 daily. "There need be no suffering. There Is plenty for all. People should not let their pride overcome their stomachs. If they need help they can get it." This from Mayor Brown. Yesterday afternoon Miss Mary Moran. hard working director of the city welfare department, distributed more than 10) loaves of bread. This was donated by Bert Woodward. 542 State street. Standard Oil employe. City officials have just authorized the purchase of the third car load of coal to be distributed this winter. It is an interesting observation of Mayor Brown that widows are better providers than husbands and fathers. Fewer appeaja are received from widows in proportion than from fathers, ho said. Widows work hard to keep Intact, their families. They are better job-finder!:, too. then men, said Mr. Brown. BRASS BAND FOR FARMERS INSTITUTE HIGHLAND, Ind, Jan. So.

LIKE WILDFIRE Miss Gaston, La addresses before high school gtrls in small communities, is warning them that cigarettes spoil beauty, coarsen the voice, im.ke superfloaus hair, pap vitality, make old hags out of thcrn long before their time, and wreck moral stamina. Morally, she says with vigor, it is no worse for a woman to smoke than a man, but phystcally, It's different. A woman, because of her delicate organism, cannot stand up under cigarettes. The effect of smoking on women is the same, she says, as on the adolescent boy. Many eirl; do not realize, 6ho pointed out that the "furfural" poison In one cigarette, has as much "kick" aa two ounces if whisky.

DIM EDITORS AT MEETING

Bulk of Editors Seem to Favor Senator Hew's Candidacy TIKES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL! INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 26. Republicanism was exuberant in Indianapolis today on the eve of the big annual love feast of the party the banquet of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association to be held la the Riley room of the Claypool hctrl tomorrow evening, with Vice-President Calvin Coolidge as the principal speaker. Leaders In the party began to arrive yesterday for the meeting of the republican state committee today, and it seemed that all trains brought more party men and women to the capital during the day. Political gossip wj.a buzzing In the lobbies of the hotels and a hundred different groups wero busy making verbal maps of tbe campaign which will start with a boom tomorrow night. The sentiment of the editors in Indianapolis and the republican political leaders from all parts of the state was strongly in favor of the re-nomina-tioh if Senator Harry S. New. The proposed candidacy of Albert J. Beveridge was a subject of much interest His delay In making an announcement of his candidacy was regarded by ma.ny as a mistake on the part of bid managers. The activity of the Beveridge men In the state for the laet six month resulted In the creation of something like a "sentiment" for the ex-senator, but, in the opinion of many of the leaders, this sentiment is receiving a severe set back since the arrival of Se-vitor New in Hoosierdom. Senator New Is row well intrenched in his headquarters at the Hotel .Severin and the machinery of the office is in full motion. The headquarters has the busy appearance of the state headquarters of a presidential preference candidate Just a few days before the primary election. There is always a. long line of men and women waitinc to see the senator and tho typewriter keys are busy thundering out letters to his chieftains in the various counties throughout Indiana. The Vice-President and Mrs. Coolidge will arrive in Indianapolis tomorrow morning and will be given a round of entertainment during the day. Public receptions will be held for them at the Marlon and Columbia clubs and at the Governor's mansion. Governor McCray. who has been. in Washington, attending the agricultural conference, and Senator James E. Watson, are expected to arrive with the -vice president. The vice-president, irkij" speec. will be recognized as the official utterance of the national administration, will bring a word of cheer and will set at rest the gloom of many of the pessimists in the party. An intimation of tbe message fh vice-president Is to bring to Indiana was suggested in a speech he made the other day in Philadelphia. In th;-,' speech he declared America is regaining Its mental poise, reeftablishipg i'.-, economic tability and leading th nations in one of the great libor;i! movements of mankind No American, he declared, could survey the developments of the last year without a renewed faith in the financial strength and the moral vigor of the- nation and a renewed hope for the welfare of the world. "There have been doubts," the vicepresident said, "but they are being solved. There have been trials but they arc passing away. The hand of man is turning acain to industry. Men and nations are coming closer In the harme-nious relationship of peace" Through a series of fortunate circumstances America has been permitted to recover from the disnsterous results of the war, the vic-presi-dent declared in that speech. "But, ' he added, "from our great accomplishment we ought not to turn to great discouragement, but to great confidence. Jf ever there was a time that time is now when the -people of America and of nil the earth ought to fe! with increasing warrant that they arc eptablinhed in the possession of lbpower to do and dure.
