Department of Justice Called

In to Aid Morgan's Men Bert Morgan, state director of prohibition, said last night that the war on graft and booze in Lake county has only begun He declared that the "plant" by which Gary police arrested Attorney Philip Ukman for accepting a bribe was an act of desperation. While not defending Ukman, the prohibition director declared that the progress of the government's work in Gary has in no way been retarded. Morgan was in communication with Washington, D. C., last evening and following a telephone conversation with the national prohibition commissioner, left unexpectedly for Indianapolis. He is expected to return tomorrow. Regarding Mayor R. O. Johnson's charge that he (Morgan) had never called upon him for aid. the prohibition dirc or said: 'If the city of ficials of Gary had trade a competent effort, to enforce the prohibition law it would riot have been necessary for the government send a force of special agent's to the city. The flagrant violations of the law which existed in Gary when we began our investigation could not have existed without protection. It would have beoV a ridiculous thing for us to have advertised what we were going to do by going to the city, hall for aid. Mayor Johnson knows as well as I do why we did riot ask for his assistance." UKMAN NOT WITNESS Morgan declined to comment on Ukman. other than to say that the Gary attorney had supplied information of some value to the government agents but that he was not a witness in any of the cases nowpending, and especially not in the cases against City Judge Dunn and Attorney Lucas. At the inception of the present drive on Gary graft find booze violations. United States Commissioner Charles Surprise, who has been associated with Morgan in the work, told a TIMES reporter that he was suspicious of Ukman's actions. "We only accepted information volunteered by Ukman the same as we would from any citizen who came to us." declared Morgan. "We used his information as the basis for investigation. It is not true that Ukman was the instigator of the clean-up in Gary" Mr. Morgan appeared more mined than ever to go to the ft in Gary. He very said that he was prepared to remain in Lake county until the job had been finished. It is believed that as a result of the Ukman "throw-back" agents of the Department of Justice will join in the investigation supplementing the work of the prohibition staff. While a father was bringing his three children home to see their mother who "had just been taken home from the hospital, a five-year-old daughter was killed, is the sad and shocking auto tragedy that occured in Hammond last night.

More children should he educated to the various trades and less to the 'white collar" occupations. Secretary of Labor James J. Davis told delegates to the American Insurance Union in session here. The farmer and the industrial worker make up 90 per cent of our population, while only 10 per cent are in professional life." said Secretary Davis. "Yet most of our whole educational system is equipped to turn out boys and girls fitted solely for the so-called "white collar' oc cupation. Educating 100 per cent or our children for less than 10 per cent of our joos is utter folly, and Ultimately will lead to social, political and economic chaos." Secretary Davis said the ultimate outcome if this system continued without reform or amendment would be the creation of a nation where every man and woman would have book learning and none the learning of the hands, which he declared is "so vital to national prosperity and progress." -k.

IND., Sept. 21 The old string of adjectives used for years in describing circuses and county fairs came into their own yesterday. Today some of the grand est of those old terms appear puny and perile as the immense crowd surge and mill around through the many attractions of Lake county's greatest fair. ALL A.DJXCTTVES FAXL Try "stupendous" or "spectacular" or "mammoth" or whatnot and some how or other they just don't seem to fit. There's something, many things, to this year's fair whiih cannot be expressed in words. Say it's doggone good and let it go at that. GAEY DAY TODAY Today is Gary Day and Gary is here. Booze scandals and everything else have been forgotten for the time by the crowds which poured into Crown Point this morning from the Steel City. . From the grandstand a ror.r'goe up. It's probable that a Gary horse has just out legged the others m a hair raising finish of one of the race heats, Gary folks are partial to their own horseflesh, win or lose. SEVEN EICTKTES TODAY The crowd Is, wild for the Taces today. Yesterday they we.'e disappointed because Fun fallea to peep out soon enough and the track was too heavy. So the management' decided to make up for yesterday's disappointment. They added two special races to this afternoon's card making a total of seven events. Tomorrow- Hammond Day will furnish more sport for the race fans. There will be five events, every one with plenty of entries. Here's the program : FRIDAY EACI F3.0ORA2S 2:15 pace, purse J400. 2:12 trot, purse. $400. 2:24 iJacc. purse J400. One mile running race, pay every quarter mile, purse, J20O Five-eights of a mile running race. purse, $125. Two additional races. Look at those purses! $1,525. Figures compiled list evening by fair officials show that yesterday , was the biggest Wednesday in the history of the association. There were 5.000 tickets sold at the gate, and to this crowd were added 10,000 school children who were admitted free. AUTO SHOW SPLENDID One of the most talked of features of th4 fair is the automobile low. The biggest chautauqua tent In the United States was rented by the association to house this attraction. Crowds throng the place and admit. the tastefully displayed machines. Dealers aren't selling cars right there but they are getting lines off scads of prospects. The rows of burnished and pedished kings, queens and princes of the auto world maSe an impressive sight. Guy D. Clark Is in charge of this exhibit and much credit must be given him for the show he has worked up. Vfsitors are entertained with concerts which are given each elay In connection with the exhibit THEY'RE ALL THESE Machines on display are the Dodge, Cadillac, Jewett. Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobije, Overland. Willys-Tonight, Davids, Packard, Paige, Hupmobile, Studebaker, Essex, Earl, Maxwell, Chalmers. Hudson and Oakland. Live stock and farm products have fairly swamped things this year. It really takes two days to get a good look at all of the exhibits. Many people are making it a point to come as early in the morning as possible to avoid the afternoon crush in tha halls and overflow tents. FAxuiEits raouD or show Lake county farmers take considerable pride in these exhibits f)r it is a common occurrence while making the rounds to run across animals and crop displays which have stat. fair prize ribbons hanging alongside the ones awarded by the judges on Tuesday. Many Lake county farmers hustled right back to Crown Point with thetr winners after making tha cleaning at Indianapolis. The prizes given in these departments amount to $10,100. SATURDAY EIO DAY Saturday is expected to break all attendance records by a wide margin. Instead of the horse races, tha big attraction will be automobile races. Crown Point has been holding race meets all summer. So have Hobart and Hammond. The county has been developing a wild orod of speed bugs. They will all e at the fairgrounds Saturday for tli. crowning race meet of the season. Georg St. John promises that every Lake county driver of prominence will be there to . battle for honors with the outsiders. FULL BIC- CROWDS The free attractions are ex..-TT-nt and have been furnished in a wide variety. The evening shows hav. also been drawing large crowds. Take a day off. The fair w"Il rejuvenate you.
