Crown Point. Ind, Sept 22.-The
scene of action in the Gary graft cases

The situation then became unique.
Here was the attorneys for Knots ana

PUTS NEW
LIFE into
OFFICERS

The creation of pension funds for
the police and fire departments by the
city council last Tuesday night has put
new life and ambition into the depart
ments. and it is generally admitted that
as the fund grows, the department will
grow in stability.
The tax levy for pension fund pur-
poses is so small as to pass unnoticed
by the taxpayers, out it Will mean
much to the public's servants and their
families and dependents.
The years of service will be counted
from the time when the various mem
bers first entered their respective de-
partments. and not from the time the
pension fund is created Accordin gly
some of the members have already as
high as ten and twelve years to their
credit.
Board of Trustees to Control.
The law provides for board of trus-
tees of six members of each depart
ment who shall act as trustees or their
respective funds, and a further pro-
vision is made that the mayor. the city
treasurer, and the chiefs of the two
departments are ex-officio members or
the board of trustees. The funds are
in the hands of the city treasurer. The
trustees are empowered to receive
donations for their funds whether these
donations be money or real estate.
The ordinance creating the funds
does not go into effect until next
January. In the mean time a tempo
rary set of officers will be selected in
each department to get the work or
organizat ton under way. The fire de-
partment has for its temporary trus-
tees. Chief Peter Dflschneider, Villa m
mil. assistant chief. and Captains
Henry Peters, Conrad Greb. James
Ryron. and William Rosene. The po-
lice department expects to organize
next week. and in the meantime it will
cast about for copies of bylaws as
used in other cities
The probabilities are that the by
laws for the hremen's fund will be
modelled largely after the South Bend
rules. The principal provisions in these
! bylaws are as follows:
