BLODGETT TELLS OF
|MPEAcH|HG MOVEMENT
Indianapolis Nan Tells of
Report Regarding G. E..
Greenwald.

Considerable surprise was manifested
in Lake and Porter counties yesterday
the indianapolis News arrived with
stan correspondent William Blodgett's
story that there is a movement on foot
TO impeach Charles w. Sreenwald.
prosecuting attorney for the judicial
district comprising the two counties.
Captioned Good Gary People Tired
of the Gang" and with the first two
paragraphs leading the story as fol-
lows:
Cary. Ind. February 15.-It is ad l.
mitted by those who know that Gary
has the worst gang in Indiana ia
charge of its business affairs OF thu
nine members of the council, three are
engaged in the saloon business and
another is an ex-saioon keeper. At one
time there were six saloon keepers
conducting the affairs of Gary.
The decent people OF this city are
determined that there shall be a clean /.
ing up in the municipal household.
They are tired of the gang domination.
and they shudder at the stories of COR
ruption in Gary that are sent broad
cast. They realize the harm these re-
ports do them and they propose to re-
move the cause for these tsories.'
Acknowledgement To Aid.
Then follows the paragraphs on
Greenwald:
The business men and the decent
element of Gary will not let up in theis
fight for a cleaner and better Gary.
Here are some of the things they Will
demand:
The Impeachment OF Charles e.
Greenwaid prosecuting attorney. It is
reported here that this matter has al
ready been taken up by the Governor
and that the attorney-generars Office
Will conduct the proceedings"
Comes From the GOVERNOR
1t would appear that the Greenwald
impeachment story comes from Indi-
annapolis rather than Gary. Blodgett is
close to the governors office and his
story suggests that the states chief
executive may soon star. the law
wheels in motion TO deprive Greenwald
of his job.

Robertn oppose. nrandels.

Percival Roberts. a director of the
United states Steel Corporation before
the committee yesterday denied a state
ment by Louis d. Brandeis that steel
workmen, because of conditions under
which they were compelled to labor,
were old men at 40 years.
Mr.. Roberts told of the welfare
plan" of the corporation. Under IL he
said there had been established free
hospitals, children's Fairgrounds and a
relief fund for injured employees and
their families. More than a million
dollars. he declared. had been dis
tributed in BENEFITS in 1910.
Attorney Reed testified that under
the laws of Pennsylvania employees had
a slight chance of recovering damages
for injuries Less than per cent of
the damage suits filed were prosecuted

|LAP0RTE PAPER STARTS
SCHAAF BOOM NOW

From time to time Postmaster L.
Richard Sehaaf of Hammond has been
doomed for state Office. Following the
two successful capaigns he managed,
one of which resulted in saving the re-
publican state ticket from complete
animation, he was offered the best ap-
pointive positions In the gift of the re-
publican leaders in the state. Botn
factions sought his support and good
will.
On several occasions he was men
toned for the office of secretary of
state and could have had the nominal
tion at the last election If he had de :.
sired it.
The latest movement along this line
comes from LaPorte and one of the
papers there had a quite an article on
the subject Schaaf is at West Baden
a the present time and could not be
interviewed on the matter
The LaPorte friends of Richard
("Dick) Schaaf. postmaster of Ham
mond. today started a boom for the
popular Lake County man for the Re-
publican nomination for secretary OF
state.
Mr.. Schaaf is not unknown to the
people of LaPorte. for he made his
summer residence at Pine Lake with
his family for two seasons and. in ad :
dition to that he was quite a frequen.

last two campaigns. For a number

ALLEGES A BLACKLIST
II. II. Eagle Shows Commit
tee Document Containing
5000 Names.

Washington, Feb. 16.-H- III. Eagle,
Pittsburg newspaper man, submitted to
the Stanley steel trust" investigating
committee yesterday what purported to
be a copy of blacklist of steel
workers which had been the property
CT the Carnegie Steel company. The
list contained about 1000 names.
Asked where it came from. Eagle
said that q year and a half ago Thos.
Morgan, who represented himself as
labor agent of the Carnegie Steel COM
pany, had offered the list for sale to

Though TOO High.

The paper did not buy the list, think
ing Mr Morgan's price of $1,000 was too
high. Mr.. Eagle said he saw Some of
the men on the list and they said they
had been unable to get work in steel
corporation mills.
This is a list dubbed a blacklist by
a man who tried to sell it to newspa-
per-" said ID. A.. Reed. attorney for the
steel corporation. There is no evidence
as to where 1t came from, and object
to it going into the record"
Chairman Stanley announced his de-
termination to find Morgan. The COM

SMALL CROWD
SEES MATCHES

It was but a small crowd that took
the opportunity of witnessing the ex
cellent wrestling card that was staged
at the Lewis rink at East Chicago last
night and those that missed seeing the
grapplers in action can put 1t down in
black and white that it will be many a
moon before they Will have such
chance again.
Although the curtain raiser was not
staged until after 8 o'clock Manager
Joe Simpson proved himself an able
matchmaker and ran the program OFF
without a hitch All the wrestlers that
was booked appeared in action and the
fans all went home satisfied after
spending a very enjoyable evening. Ed
die Santry was the only who did
not put in his appearance. but his place
as referee was well taken care of by
Tommy Downie. On account of his
square decisions and capability as
referee he will be chosen as referee for
future contests. Bob Alexander acted
as official timekeeper and you can bet
your life Bob had his eagle eve on the
ticker.
The curtain raiser between Young
Haekenschmidt and Joe Thomas of Chi
cago was won by the husky Chicasoan
who had the advantage in weight by
twenty pounds. Hackenschmidt agreed
to throw his man twice in twenty min
utes and he found some difficulty in
doing so, for Thomas proved himself
to be regular eel. Every time Hack
got a hold on his man Thomas would
slip away from him in easy fashion II
Thomas had about 90 more pounds of
i avoirdupois there might be a different
tale to tell. 1t took 22 minutes for the
Fo1 ~
fall was gained by a crotch and half
nelson.
Siegfried Kaiser, known as the rough
house butcher, lost to Marc Miller in
the semi-windup. The two falls were
made in IL minutes. taking six minutes
for each fall with a crotch and half
nelson hold. Kaisers name as rough
house we'll befitted him. as he was the
toughest proposition that has been seen
in any match IN this vicinity. If he
could grab a-hold OF his opponents
nose or pull his hair rough house was
in his glory. But Miller soon put a
stop to this by giving Kaiser dose OF
his own medicine.
The main bout between Charley Cut
Ter and Marin Plestina. champion of
Bohemia, was well worth the price of
admission alone. On account OF an in
appear at his best but he pinioned the
burly Bohemian to the mat twice In rs
minutes. The first fall took 20 min
utes with crotch and half nelson and
the second with a head and scissors
hold in minutes.
Plestina has only been In this coun-'
try a short time and as yet is unable
to speak English very fiuently. He dis
played a different style OF wrestling
and appeared only in a pair of tights
and knee pads. Cutler found some diff
fculty in hanging on his opponent as
he was slippery and 1t looked like his
skin was CREASED. Plestina lost his
temper several times and played
rough house tactics, which did not seem
to worry Cutler In the least
Another card Is being arranged for
next Friday night and the manage
ment are in hopes that the public Will
lend its support.

Berger. the SociaIist.


Golfers Weekly: The one socialist
member Of congress, Victor Berger of
Milwaukee, since he first came to
Washington a year ago, has grown
continuously in the favorable opinion
of those who have observed his Official
career. Members who apprehended
that because he was a socialist he
would be unreasonable, and impossi-
bly, radical, have been disappointed.
Mr.. Berger rarely takes extreme
ground. During the consideration OF
the tariff on steel he said:
I'VE have built entire industries up
on the tariff. They cannot stand a
quick and total reduction. That would
unsettle conditions, close workshops
and deprive thousands of wage earn
ers Of their jobs"
But Mr.. Berger permitted no doubt
that he would vote for present demo
cratic reduction:
81 am going to vote with the demo.
Gratis. because they are taking off some
of the duty on iron and steel, and be-
cause the working class does not get
any benefit from the tariff as it is"
There is not a democrat or a repub
lican in either the house or senate
who considers himself sufficiently free
from the party ties to take a stand on
the tariff as fair and reasonable as
| Mr. Berger's.

Diaz Knew.

II is reported that Mexico may re-
turn 10 the Diaz method OF dealing
with foes OF the government Rebels
are to be unceremoniously shot Diaz
acted on the theory that il was neces-
sary to keep his countrymen afraid of
the government. He understood that
II would not DO to temporize with dis
order or deal gently with those who
try TO overthrow the lawful authori-
ties.
There were gross evils in the old
Disz regime. There was urgent need
Of reform when It was ended by the
success OF the Madero revolt But
nothing which could be charged TO
Diaz was as destructive TO every
chance Mexico might have OF real
progress as the disintegration Of the
lawful authority OF the state through
successive revolts and revolutions.
Mexico absolutely must have peace
and assured order. Without that
foundation TO build upon prosperity
and national advancement must al

Chance for the Middle Aged.

Ch8ACC LUZ LuC 1ndOAC <hSCas
While this is the age OF the young
man in business. it has been the OBJ
Cervation Of large corporations and
commercial houses throughout the
country that the average young man
has, as a rule, one serious fault. He
Is too anxious to climb rapidly. He
is over-zealous in seeking a soft
snap" job. and frequently has not the
patience to stick it out with an en-
ployer through thick and thin until
his services become highly valuable
or perhaps indispensable.
A recent unofficial census was made
among several large commercial
houses in Chicago to ascertain the
sentiment of employers in this mat
ter. The general conclusion was that
among the men they hired nine out Of
ten were better workers at 40 or 45
years OF age than were the men OF 20
and 25 or even 30. The older men had
the advantage Of experience and set,
tied habits and we're considered more
neutrality-suspicious. because a man
OF 40, particularly a married man
knows that he cannot afford to take
many chances and is likely to devote
his time and energy to the interests oil
his employer.
