Send Your Cats to Gary,

The greatest trust in the world is
advertising for rats-just plain,
back-fence, rat-hungry tabbies. The
United States Steel Corporation neeC
EN- in it's business at Gary, Ind.
and has let that fact be known
through the Gary newspapers. Fifty
cents a head is the price offered
The demand is due to the number
OF rats that infest the plant For
many months the company has been
tried without success. The final
blow came when one OF the rats got
tangled up in one of the great dyna-
noes which give power to the blast
furnace mill This tied the work up
for hours and resulted in the loss
of several thousand dollars. Gary
was hunted in vain for stray cats
and. as a last resort, an advertis-
ment, was inserted in Gary paper.

DEMOCRATS RAP
ACTION OF ELLIS
WHO LEFT DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE TO MANAGE OHIO
CAMPAIGN.
CHAMP CLARK BEGAN IT
BY Demanding to Know lis Ellis is
Still on the Payroll of the
Government--Which
He Is.

Washington, March 5.-Wade Fl
Ellis and his present relation to The
department of justice and the Re
publican campaign in Ohio were free
! ly discussed in the house today. Mi
nrity leader Champ Clark, insisted
On knowing In connection with the
appropriations for the department o.
justice, whether Ellis had actually
ceased to draw his salary as assist
ant attorney general since he had
taken charge OF tie Ohio campaign
Tawney expressed his confidence that
Ellis no longer had any salary from
I the government.
This is not the first time that men
who have obtained confidential infor
nation in public office, which might
be Of great value to them in conduct
ing a campaign, have been selected
for such duty" shouted Fitzgerald
of New York. ELLIS has han an op
portunity to get information that can
be very valuable in frying the fat,
which is a technical Republican ex
preston, and with that power he may
save the fate of the president in his
own state in the coming campaign.
Il have been wondering" he cor.
tinued, what resident of the state
Of New York, with confidential infor,
nation, is to be brought out as a
candidate of this administration as
head Of the Republican campaign in
that state"
Fitzgerald added that information
possessed by Ellis by virtue of his
having conducted the Standard Oh
prosecution for the government
would be of value in getting contribu
tlons, and especially as the STANDARD
Oil Company had not been without
difficulties In Ohio"
Tawney declared that Frank b
Kellogg had been in charge of the
Standard Oil prosecution, and not
Ellis.
Wade Ellis is still ON the payroll
Of the department of justice, and will
probably stay there" shouted Rep
resentative Weisse of Wisconsin, en-
tering the house from the Democratic
cloak room, where, he explained, he
telephoned the department to get this
information about Ellis.
Representatives Longworth, Cox
Ansberry and Kennedy, all Of the
Ohio delegation, took part in an ex
tended discussion of Ohio politics,
which continued until the regular Or.
der of business was demanded Long
worth declared that while Ellis might
still be on the pay roll of the govern
ment, he knew Ellis would not draw
any more salary on that account.
