Take Up Matter of Better
Mail Facilities With Gary,
East Chicago, Whiting and
Indiana Harbor.

After having had the necessity for
an inter-city interurban mail service
pointed out by THE TIMES, the Ham
mond Business Mems association has
decided to devote an entire meeting to
the consideration of this matter.
Secretary e. Johnston stated to-
day that he will send n letter to every

pafgn to secure this much needed i'm
provement in the mail service
Letters will also be sent to the busi-
ness men of the city asking them to be
present at the meeting and advance
their reasons for desiring this service

for the contamination of these plans
that they can be carried out in a very
short time.

TRAFFIC IN CHINESE
SLAVE GIRLS FOUND

under surveillance by federal

The traffic primarily is in
smuggling coolies into the United
States. For this there is a fee
ranging from $500 to $1,000, accord
ing to the availability of an alibi
The secondary and more profitable
activity of the band is centered,
however, in supplying the "ghai'
or "gay-yuen" houses of Chinatown
in the different cities of the United
States with slave girls. The prices
of the girls range from $500 to
$4,000 each. AS high as $4,000 has
been paid for a slave girl that
caught the fancy of some wealthy
mandarin or tong leader.

FOREIGNERS MADE
DESPERATE CHARGE

Angry Italians. Poles and Swedes
almost demoralized the police de-
partment yesterday. Summarily
discharged from contract work by
the decision to uphold the labor
laws, they claimed their money
was due and made raid on the
police, angrily gesticulating and
jabbering all at once and all of the
time. Learning that the president
of the Sibley Contracting company
was in the city hall, they made
rush and caught sight of the
company's timekeeper. The poor
fellow made a break and lit out
for the police station in terror,
bringing the mob back with him.
A charge with drawn clubs finally
dispersed them and the cops wiped
their honest brows with relief
when they were gone.
