Bot Litzinger and George z. Cor
man. attorneys for Fitzgerald said
that the $4,000 bond wa sunreason-

easily furnished a fair bond.
DENY RISK BUSINESS is "BLIND.~
I'VE are working TO find bondsmen
tonight" said Mr.. Litzinger. but we
probably will have to wait until tomor-.
row to arrange a bond. A bond OF s5o.-
600 Is unexpectedly large. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald has been here for three years
since the disappearance of the money
and has made no attempt to leave the
country so there was good reason
70 demanding this prohibitive bond.
The talk OF Mr.. Fitzgerald's insur-
ance business being only blind is silly.
He recently has been giving all his
time to IT. He formerly was interested
to small extent in the car repairing
plant at Hammond and was secretary

GREEKS IN
NEW G. D. P.
ORGANIZATION

Gary's political campaign is now on
it will rival in strenuousness the cele-
brated one last fall, when the city held
it's first municipal election.
Last evening a republican club was
organized among the Albanians of
Gary. One hundred and fifty registered
their names. and it is the ultimate plan
to embrace every one of the 500 AL
bantam steel plant workers in the or
ganization.
The meeting last evening was held in
the haH at Fifteenth avenue and Ad-
ans street. 1t was decided that incor-
poration papers shall be drawn up at
once. The name of the new society is
the George Iskender Albanian Re-
publican society of Gary" George Is
kender is the national hero of the AL
bantam people, and it was he who lead
his countrymen against the Turkish
government
The officers elected last night are as
follows:
President-Georgi Parto
Vice president-Christ oJseph-
Secretary-S Yovan
Treasurer-John Apostol.
These men are the leaders of the
Gary people. and will undoubtedly dc
good work in behalf of the party this
fall.

Has Big Plans on
Foot.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Indiana Harbor. Ind, Sept 15.-It is
The intention of the Washington Park
Land company to begin next spring the
erection of large number of new
houses in its ub-division. The houses
will be built to sell and. while the plans
are to be drawn during the winter for
many of the buildings to be built at the
company's expense, the concern will
also take contracts to put up houses

a factor in relieving the rapidly in
creasing demand for homes in Indiana
Harbor. which is a condition following
the location of so many new industries
in this section of the city and in its
immediate vicinity.
All of the houses to be built within
the sub division must conform to GER
tain specifications regards cost and
architecture, so that high standard
of excellence for the entire tract will

the Gary state bank to purchase the
two lots south of and adjoining the

joining lots, SUIT az broadway property

years 1T is not known whether hhe steel

commodate the bank mt this time.

Indiana and Illinois Steel companies
are directors in the bank, and H. G.

bank is a son of H. G. Hay ST., assist
ant treasurer of the United States Steel
corporation The Gary State bank is
also depository of all the subsidiary
companies of the T. S. Steel corporation
in Lake county and their business has
grown to such proportions that their
present quarters are entirely made
quate.
While the Gary state bank would
not begin the immediate construction
of a new building, it is known that
just as soon as the lots are secured
they will erect one of the handsomest
buildings in cav sting at least
100000.
The two lots IN question carmerly be-
longed to \. F. Knattp ut Hammond
and are considered two of the most
valuable in Gary. Owing to the fact
that Mr.. Knots failed to make the pay
ments in the required time the lot:

every preparation TO erect a handsome
building ard had hundreds of dollar:
