A SEARCHING QUESTION

When it was rumored that the late
Elijah NJ. Haines would be a candidate
for the speakership of the Illinois house
of representatives he was besieged by
reporters for interviews, but he was
non-committal. Finally the reporter
for a Chicago newspaper came to him,
along with a bunch of other reporters,
and he was as aggressive and per-
suasive as John Corwin and quite as
handsome. He wore good clothes, too
and smoked cigars that spoke for
themselves. He had a diamond in his
tie which rivaled the stars on the
heavens for briliancy. Before all of
the reporters, Mr.. Haines said:
"When | give out this interview you
shall have it in advance of all
of these other reporters. Evil
IDENTIFY you are a man in whom
can place confidence, because
| see that you have secured the con-
fidence of some big business man in
Chicago or elsewhere. That is a mar
velous diamond that you wear Where
did you get it?"

MAY REVISE THE
SCHOOL LAWS
Commissioners to Have I'm
pOrtant Meeting in Dover
Next Week

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del, Aug. 6-Sometimo dur
ing next week commission win assem-
bic here and organoze to revolutionize the
school laws Of Delaware.
The members Of the commission have
all recently been chosen by the governor.
They are Fred Brady OF New Castle
county; Col. Theodore Townsend. Of
Kent county. and Charles l.. Moore. Of
Sussex county. They are to confer with
the State Revenue and Taxation Com
mission and arc to reconstruct the Gu
tire general school laws.
It is not known as yet whether the
state will be asked to increase its an
nual appropriation OF $4,000 for the sup
port OF a general system Of free public
schools. Besides this appropriation the
schools derives annuities from invest
ments held by the school fund. among
which there are the dividends from the
States 55 per oentum holdings in the
Farmers Bank Of Delaware.
There are many complaints OF the oper-
ations Of the school laws as to their un-
completeness. Inadequate divisions OF
pupils. too short a school term, insufh-
cient salaries. careless local supervision,
unsanitary country schools and too elias
tic a curriculum are all mentioned as
shortcomings OF the Delaware system.
While there are now complaints that the
State is not getting the worth Of her
$4,000 and endowmonts. there would be
much objection to increasing TO S5O,0Ol
as is probable.

PRICE OF MILK
May Be Raised in Hammond
in the Fall.

The prediction having gone out that
the price of milk will be raised in Chi
cago shortly. the question has been
raised in Hammond as to the prospects
for such a step here
Louis Kltzke, proprietor of the
Hammond dairy, the largest milk con-
Germ in Hammond, said this moning
in speaking of the possible raise
There is nothing in the immediate
future that would indicate a raise in
the local price of milk However. such
a thing need not be unexpected next
fall. The price of milk in Hammond
depends on the contracts that the milk
dealers have with the shippers. New
contracts are made semi-annuaIIy. and
with the organized movement among
the farmers and the requirements from
the state board of health to put only
the best of milk on the market. their
expenses are increased. They expect
US to pay this increase, and since there
is no profit to speak of at the present
rate, we would have to raise with the
farmers. However, I look for no i'm
mediate advance"

CHARLES SASKO
IS ARRESTED
Political Worker, Well
Known in Gary, Is in
Trouble at Harbor.
TRIAL BEFORE JUDGE KAsEE
Linquist Gets Into Difficulty and Is
Accused of Embedding
Sixty Dollars.

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Jan. 3O.-A SEN
satiOn was created in the foreign cir
cies of Indiana Harbor when 1T he
came known that Charles Sasko, well
known SIav, would have to answer
charges of embezzlement. The conn
pIainaRf is George HudackyO, a Deo-
dar street saIOOnkeeper and the case is
set for trial before Judge IL. #. Kaske
today.
sasko has been prominent in Har-
Dor political affairs and was an en-
thusiastic republican worker during the
months, however Sasko has been en-
ployed by the Lake County Directory
company, his knowledge OF foreign
languages being of immense value to
the directory company in its enumera :
ton of the census of the Harbor, Whit
ing and Gary foreigners Sasko was
arrested on the embezzlement charge
several days ago and was furnished
bail by local foreign society. Every
effort was made to keep the arrest as
quiet as possible and it was not until
yesterday afternoon that Judge Kaske
revealed the nature of the charges
against the well-known foreigner.
How 1t Came About.
Sasl1o is accused Of emblezzlfng SEQ
while in partnership with Hudacl1yo.
The union was one formed several
months ago wherein Sasko was sup
ported to attend to the safe transmits
sion of Hudackyo's money, and that of
his boarders to the old country All
went well until last December when
Sasko announced his intention Of
abandoning the partnership He gave
no reasons for leaving and Hudackyo
consented to the dissolution of the
partnership bonds.
On looking over his books, Hudackyo
found that there was still $50 due him
and requested settlement Sasko has
refused this and will make Hudackyo
prove the serious charges he brings.
Sasko has been connected with various
foreign exchange agencies through
out the city and those with whom he
has transacted business in the past
speak highly of his ability and integ-
rity
