CONGRESSMAN CUMPACKER
GIVES ANSWER TO CHARGES

The Washington stay correspondent
of the Indianapolis Star has the fol-
lowing relating to a recent defense
which Congressman Crumpacker made
for the management of soldiers homes
in general and of those in Indiana in
particular. The Star correspondent
says
Representative Crumpacker of IN
diana takes no stock in~the rather vio-
lent accusations othat have been made
against the soldiers homes by Repre-
sentative James M. Cox of ayton, Ohio.

mfr. Crumpacker. on the floor of
the house, made a strong and vigorous
defense of the soldiers homes, both
national and state, and particularly of
the Indiana soldiers home at Lafayette
After listening TO Mr.. Cox's excoria-
ton he interrupted to remark:
This revelation is entirely new to
me- 1 have received many letters
several hundred-from members of the
soldiers homes, most of them from
the state home in my district. 1 have
received letters from the Dayton home

them respecting the treatment or fare
that they received at the national
home.
"I know something about the state
home. I frequently eat at the home
with them. 1 have gone through their
stock of provisions, examined the
methods of preparation and I know
that in our state home abundant pro-
vision is made for the members.
This is altogether new to me and
as the gentleman has portrayed, in
stead of making a statement on the
floor of the house the gentleman ought
to introduce a resolution to have an
investigation and let the truth be
known to the country

exist; doubtless he making an honest
statement. but colored, perhaps, like

Encouraged by the hearty reception

of North township want amalgama-
ton. If they vote in favor of amalga-
nation there would have to be an ac-
counting in all of the cities that have
been amalgamated and a special tax
would have to be imposed whiting the
limits of the old cities to pay off the
Indebtedness that those cities had con-
tracted.
In the meantime the amaIgamated
city would begin a new set OF books
and all of the new obligations would
be bourne by the amalgamated city.
In due time all of the old debts of the
separate cities would be paid and then
the merger of the cities would be com-
plete.

this plan and is OF the opinion that
all of the cities and towns of North

to Indianapolis to urge the passage
of such a bill.

1t was explained to the city officials
by the corporation that the opening of
Eleventh avenue would cut this prop

location of a large industry. They
were told that already over ninety ap-
plications were made for sites on this
property but that the company was
busy getting the subsidiary companies

WARRANTS

II is understood that bench warrants
have been issued for the arrest of Fred
Waldron of Tolleston and Rosa Kramer,
who have appealed cases to the Lake
superior court and then have failed
to prosecute them.
Fred waldron caused the arrest Of
Albert Hacker of Tolleston when the
two got into a fight over the matter
of the annexation of Tolleston by
Gary. Hacker appealed to the Lake
superior court and Waldron failed to
appear to prosecute.
This angered Judge Reiter and he at
once ordered Waldron brought into
court and explain why he had not
prosecuted the case. 1t is said that
| Waldron could not be found In Tolles-

as he can be found and will be COM

The Independence leaoue.

With John Temple Graves offerins his assistance to the democratic part, and William Randolph Hearst un- qualifiedly endorsing the administra- ton of President Taft. the Independ- encc league would seem to be in dan ger of division.
 It is not, however. for the next day after NIT. Graves foregathered with the democrats at Washington on Jeff ferson's birthday. in a signed state ment in the New York American Mir Hearst absolved the league from any obligation by reason of MT. Graves utterances. He took occasion at the same time to say that his views were similar to those of Mir Graves, his political editor. but neither of them could undertake to speak for the league
 Yet there is a suspicion throughout the country that MT. Hearst is the league and the league is Mir. Hearst. As . political organization it's mem bership is more shifting than those of the republican and democratic party. The dissatisfied of today may become the satisfied of tomorrow, when they will cease to be leaguers but will become republicans or demo- crats again. Likewise. republicans and democrats of today may resort to the Cave of Adullam tomorrow
 The league is held together by no traditional principles as the great par ties are. but the league is there. what ever it's membership. and will be wherever MT. Hearst may be
 Last fall the league endorsed Judge Gaynor for mayor of New York. Mir Hearst previously. before pressure was brought upon him to become a can didate. had spoken kindly of Judge Gaynor. Yet when MT. Hearst became a candidate the league was with him
 Therefore. though MT. Graves may not speak for the league. that mobile force accepts on the briefest notice the guidance of MT. Hearst, notwith- standing the assertion that he is not it's mouthpiece.

A Lean Trust,

If there are good trusts and bad trusts. there are trusts which grow lean as well as those which grow fat and saucy. Fourteen years ago this month the cordage trus. was formed Its organization called out anathema In it's day it was denounced as the most iniquitous of trusts. It had not committed iniquity. but it had laid the groundwork for it.
 No trust ever organized was in a stronger position to control its prod ucts. It had a practical monopoly of the cordage business. Nearly every company in the United States had been taken in. but there shortly came to be no business.
 The trust now has bonded debt of t2,S05,373. on which it has been able to pay no interest for two years
 It has decided to go out of business, and a motion for dissolution is now before the New York courts.
 During nearly all the years of it's existence it's business has been con ducted at d loss. Last year it's deficit was s231.OO0; s30.o12 resulting from the operation of its mills, the balance being its interest on its first mortgage bonds.
 Its assets consist of s139.74S cash in bank: accounts in the hands of agents, s44,1S0: its stock and manu- factured goods are worth s1.23s. The government owes it rebate on hemp of s1,322. It holds stock in another corporation of a book value of sl57,- OOO
 It has two creditors beside the bondholders. one a company from which it rented offices: the other a woman witff a claim of s5.0Oo for aI- legged injuries sustained by reason of the negligence of the company.
 Thus we see that the organization of d trust Is not necessarily the open Ing of an avenue to great wealth. A monopoly of products for which there is little demand is not a thing of great value
