SINGLE MEN DO NOT
NEED TO ASK HELP.
(Continued from page 1).
out Chief Rimbach noticed that she
was crying. He called her back and
asked her more about her case. He
found that her husband was unable to
work on account of an Injured foot. The
plucky wife left her children with the
father and went to Chicago where she
was able to secure some work. Finally
when she was about to become a moth
er her employers discharged her and
she returned to her home in the Stand
ard district, hopeless.
She did not aply for help until it was
positively necessary and then when she
thought that her plea had fallen on
deaf ears there is little wonder that the
brave woman cried. She was eventually
given the assistance she required and
went on her way relieved."
Would Impose on Officials.
But while there are individual cases
of this kind in great numbers, there
are also a large number of people who
would Impose on the township trustee
if he did not use exceptionally good
judgment in the giving of aid.
In Indiana Harbor steps have been
taken for the systematic relief of the
poor ana U is unaersiooa mai iooa is
to be furnished by many of the manu
facturing concerns and by private in
dividuals.
A relief committee has been formed,
composed of sixty members, taken from
among the most substantial business
men in the city, and they are to have
charge of what charity work is to be
done. Richard Schaaf spent all yes
terday morning aiding in the organiza
tion of the work there and then put
in the afternoon in Hammond.
Here the matter was shaken up with
Mayor Becker who appointed John Kane
as the seceretary and treasurer of a
committee to receive funds. A can
vass will be made of the business men
of the city and it Is already under
stood that many have responded lib
erally. That the people of the Calumet region
will eare for the poor unfortunates who
find themselves without means of sup
port and yet with prosperous times
only a few months back, Is certain; and
it Is hoped that before long industrial
conditions will haye Improved until
there will be little necessity for the
charity of the more fortunate.

GARY BOARDMEETING
Attorney K K. Knapp Tries
to Force Issue in
Controversy.
At the meeting of the Gary board
yesterday, K. K. Knapp made an effort
to force the issue in the franchise con
troversy between the Gary & Interur
ban line and the town of Gary.
He offered a resolution to the town
board requiring the Gary & Interurban
company to fulfill its contract as prom
ised, accept the extension offered by
the board or get out and let some
other company build the line.
Frank Gavit, who has appeared for
the Gary & Interurban company all
along, maintains that the company's
franchise cannot be forfeited and that
the delay so far has not been the
company's fault, but the result of liti
gation and other extenuating circum
stances. The matter was finally referred to
L. L. Bomberger, the city attorney, who
will investigate the matter and report
to the city council, informing them as
to just what steps they can take to
compel the Gary & Interurban com
pany to live up to its franchise.
Mr. Gavit submitted a contract to
the Gary Light company by which a
rental was fixed for the use of the
poles of the Gary & Interurban com
pany upon which the! feed wires will
be strung, Mr. Kna' reiterated his
statement that he w; aid not deal with
the Gary & Interurban company di
rectly and any arrangements that are
made along this line will have to be
made between the Gary Light company
and the Gary town board.
Regarding the franchise matter, Mr.
Knapp said he hoped it would be
brought to a head at the next meeting
when tho city attorney's report will be
heard. Every one is sick of the delay
and pressure will be brought to bear
to bring about an understanding be
tween the contending parties in the
near future.
The consideration of the rights of
Richard Much, who refuses to sell his
land to the Chicago, Lake Shore &
Eastern railroad for yard purposes and
who has been evicted by the action of
the town board, will be taken up and
Attorney George Sheerer, who is ap
pearing for Much, will take the board
members to the property in an auto
mobile and explain the rights of his
clients.

AT INDIANA HARBOR
Criticism Vented That Some
Receiving Help Are
Not Worthy.
SINGLE EH GET PAID MONEY
Township Trustee Richard Schaaf In
a Quandary Over Delicate
Situation.
Between two hundred and three hun- I
dred people received aid at the town
ship trustee's headquarters opened yes
terday in Indiana Harbor, and today
the scenes that were enacted within
and in front of the Auditorium where
the . warrants are being issued, were
similar to those of yesterday.
Preparations were made yesterday
for a meeting of the committee ap
pointed to take charge of the collec
tion and receipt of contributions and
when S. L. Eisler called the meeting
to order at 3 o'clock this afternoon
there was a goodly number of those
asked to serve on the committee, pres
ent. A few of the appointees had gotten
together yesterday and discussed the
situation informally and a general plan
of procedure had been formulated
which was proposed at this afternoon's
meeting, but up to the hour of going
to press, no definite action had been
taken. The plan as proposed, how
ever embraced the appointment of var
ious committees, which in turn were
to divide into subcommittees. The
main committees were to be those on
investigation and employment and in
dustry. The duties of the members of the
former, which it was proposed was to
number twelve and to be subdivided
Into four subcommittees of three mem
bers each and would be to inquire
into the worthiness of the cases of
destitution reported to them. The sec
ond Is to also number twelve and to
be similarly subdivided. Its function
will be to seek employment for as
many men out of work as it is possible
. to find, Its members visiting every in
i dustrial plant in this region in an ef
fort to place the men.
There will probably also be a com
mittee on collection and distribution
as the general committee is large and
has sufficient members to warrant a
large number of subcommittees.
About 150 warrants entitling the
bearers to groceries, meats and pro
visions were Issued yesterday. The
bulk of these warrants were taken
over to S. L Eisler's grocery and mar
ket and turned Into bread, flour, salt
pork and other inexpensive foods. Mr.
Eisler is chairman of the general com
mittee.
In the meantime there have been a
few developments which have shown
that some of the charity thus far ex
tended has been misdirected. Inves
tigation has shown that at least a
number of cases which have been min
Istered to by Charles Muller, who acted
as the official representative of the
township, were not worthy. John Ma
konwski, 3S25 Beech street, who owns
his own house and lot and keeps chick
ens, ducks, geese, and has an abund
ance of wood frankly piled up in his
yard.
There was one case of a family
named Perunskl in Deadore street,
who received aid and were not in need,
according to report. A load of coal
was delivered to 3725 Alder street to
a man who it Is alleged owns his own
home and keeps boarders. To one
family living at 3603 Beech street two
orders of coal of one-half ton each
were delivered the same day.
The complaint is made that all of
the people receiving aid are foreign
ers and that these same foreigners
haled into a justice court for any crime
or misdemeanor, would he able to dig
up the price of their fine from some
where.

"Through the columns of your paper
I want you to thank every voter in
the eighth ward for the support they
gave me at the polls yesterday.
Whether they voted for me or not, I
want them to be with me from now on.
When I assume my duties back In the
council chamber I can assure the peo
ple of the eighth ward that they will
never be sorry that I was elected. It
was a hard fight and I am glad It la
over."
By John S. Derpa, the defeated can
didate: "I am a good loser and al
though defeated I feel proud of my
record while a representative of the
people in the council chamber. I have
been honest and conscientious. The
result simply shows that the voters in
the eighth ward do not appreciate an
honest public official."

of the people. It was one of the clean
est fights I have ever taken part In."

street and the queen often visited him
there. The story goes that it was
In the garden of Essex house that
the queen gave her favorite a box on
his ear, saying: "Go and be hanged!"
and the hot-tempered young man
swore that he would not have brooked
such an insult from her father. A
curious discovery relating to Essex
and Queen Elizabeth was made by
Lord Cholmondely in 1770 at a house
in Essex, street which oyerlooked the
earl's gardens. Scratched on a pane
of glass in a top window were the let
ters "I. C. U. S. X. and E. R.," which
has been interpreted as "I see you
Essex and Elizabeth regina," and was
probably the recorded Jest of an in
quisitive onlooker, who witnessed the
meetings of the queen and her
favorite.
No Use in Trying to Please All.
"You can't do nuffln with some

time, dey simply turns up deir noses
an thinks you U tryln' to show off."
