Pending the grand jury investiga-
ton which was started yesterday in

reported that the gambling houses in
Gary were closed In some manner
the information that the investigation
was to be held was passed along to the
proprietors of these places and most of
them was informed of what was going
to happen several days in advance. Sat
urday night the nothing doing sign
was hung up by the propritors of the
places according to information receiv-
ed at the Times office and all of the
gamblers agreed to lay low for a few
days al least. The professional gam

Water Farming

Sounds like a lot Of foolish words
all this talk about "white coal"
and water farming I
Maybe-but there's no one
thing of more Importance to the
next generation than these sub
jects. Really, they are one sub
ject, for without Water Farming
we can have very little White
Coal
John L. Mathews has written
an article for HAMPTON S that
will thrill you with the bigness,
the strength, the Importance of
WATER-the kind that floods
a valley, and destroys lives and
property; or, when reservoired
and "farmed, changes from an
element of destruction to one of
greatest usefulness and economy.
Mathews has done a fine lob
on this fact-story. He has writ
ten a thing so good that you'll
read it with swift interest, then
go back and read it again, and
then hustle around and talk to
your friends about it. In

MAY ASK POLICE
FOR PROTECTION
Ten Men Were Expected to Come Out
From Chicago This Morning to
Take Place of the Striking Finne-
ran-Carmody Men-Hitch Grows
Out Of Right to Select Journeymen.

The electrical contractors of Gary
have thrown down the gauntlet to the
electricians and have decided to fight
them. This morning the Redd- Murphy
union men will supIant the regular
union recognized by President Gompers
of the American Federation OF Labor,
in the work at Gary. and considerable
trouble is expected by the contractors
before the |av is over.
One contractor stated last night that
10 men would be put on the Mast build
Ing on Broadway this morning and
from this point they will be distributed
to the various buildings at which the
contractors have been at work He
said he did not believe that the build
ing trades would pull their men off Of
any of the jobs upon which the Reed
Murphy men are employed, because he
thought they would recognize the I'M
reasona bleness of the Carmody and
Finneran aggregation

Ask Police PROTECTION.

The police have been notified of the
action Of the contractors and try to
afford some protection to the men
while they are at work 1t was said
that "wrecking crew" was expected
from Chicago today.
The announcement of the fact that
the contractors would taken on mem
bers of the other union came after sew
eral conferences at which neither side
seemed likely to give in. The trouble
all hitched on the right of the con
tractors to employ whichever men they
chose, and this the contractors held out
for from the start. The ten men who
started this morning We're hired yester-
day from the mills and other places
about Gary, all of whom carry a card
in the Reed Murphy union.

commissioners that they will continue

At the same time the Macmillan com

now sell to the school children for 80
cents. boosted the price to As cents for
the next five years. The board wished
to continue the use Of these books in
