scheme was to add to and promote the
present transportation accommodations.
1t is not the purpose of this congress
to recommend or indorse any project
but the whole system. and at the close
a resolution was presented and passed
asking congress to make fixed APP
preparation for a fixed term of years,
s50.0o0.eo0 year for a term of ten
years.
1t is undoubtedly true that so far
as your delegate is concerned in the
actual work of the congress little else
done by me but to add one to the
number present. but even then. / be-
lieve it is good business for us to
send a representative to these meet
ings keeping up interest in the
business and showing that interest by
our presence. and all the many clubs
and communities doing the same thing
make the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress q great success and a power
to bring about the accomplishment of
the end sought.
In addition to attendance of the con-
gress. your delegate along with
the city delegates spent some
time and attention to our own
project by meeting our congressman
steps to be taken for our immediate
benefit. 1t was agreed after this con-
sultation that as soon possible a bill
will be prepared and introduced to
make this Port of Entry, but before
this is done we are to see that proper
information is put in form and furnish
ed to them for use in getting the bill
passed. BY going through the files IN
the department of the Board of Engi-
neers. we found much data of great
value on file that can be used. but VIC
can add to this and get it into shape
and when gotten it should be put in
printed form 70 rgeneral distribution
among the members of congress an ]
the departments. and I wish to recon-
mend that a committee be appointed to
| see that this is done. and at early q
date as possible.
! We learned while there one item OF

All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.

NINE CASES ON
COURT DOCKET
Especial to THE TIMES

East Chicago, Dec. 22.-There are
nine cases on Judge Walter ]. Riley's
docket at the city court: The Lake
shore robbery case is the most impor-
tant one on hearing today. In case
the Chicago toughs arrested in connec-
ton with this holdup are acquitted on
that charge they will not be released.
as the police are in receipt of a num-
Der of new inquiries regarding the
prisoners, all of which ask that they
be held until they can be looked over
by parties who suspect them of hav-
ing had hand in serious crimes in
which the writers are interested. The
inquiries come from Washington
Heights, Chicago Heights and Chicago.
It Is barely possible that the holdup
men, who We're so willing to come to
Indiana without extradition, may find
themselves back in Illinois before the
authorities are through with them, to
face more numerous and more serious
charges than those preferred against
them in this locality. The Hammond

FINANCIAL MATTERS
ARE CONSIDERED
Want Eleven Thousand
Dollars to Tide the
City Over.

Financial matters were taken up at
the special session of the Gary common
council last night the chief of which
was the authorization of a Sill 900 loan
to tide the fty over until the May taxes
begin to flow in.
Twenty thousand dollars was asked
but the amount was cut down. War
rants to the amount of $1,000 dated
December is and maturing May / and
bearing interest at six per cent will be
issued to raise the money. Payment
will be made out of the May taxes
The council appropriated $4,000 for
the police departments account for the
year ending December 81. Through an
oversight the amount was made about
5000 too small and this may cause some
trouble. Two hundred dollars was ad-
ded to Mayor Knots expense account
and transfers were made from various
funds.
1t is probable that the council will
meet in special session on December &c
to pass an ordnance appropriating
81. o021s for the city's share of the
First street Improvement project.

ON CHARGE OF
EMBEzzLEMENT
81. Paul German Lutheran Min
lister Under Arrest

St Paul, Jan. 1S.-Rev. David G.
Lebahn, aged fifty, travelling agent for
the German Hospital association, was
a prisoner in police court on a charge
of grand larceny.
The case involves alleged swindling
operations said to involve the misap-
preparation of approximately $4,000,
although the complaint against the
accused minister specifies only 1906.
Rev, Lebahn's duties were to col
lect money for the free patient fund
of the st. Paul German hospital Sus-
picion was aroused because of the
small amounts the collector turned
into the treasury.
Rev. Carl Knoll, president of the
association, called a special meeting
of the trustees last Thursday after
noon and as a result of the delibera.
tions Rev. Lebahn was charged with
embezzling money he had collected.
1t is alleged that he confessed to
peculations amounting to over $4,000
but promised to make the stolen
amount good if the matter was kept
quiet This was agreed upon and he
was given years time to pay up.
Last Monday Rev. Knoll heard that
Rev. Lebahn was preparing to decamp
and swore out a warrant for his ar.
