UP PRICE MATTER
Lake County Bar Members
Investigating Claims of
Henry G. Price.

The committee on the qualifications
of attorneys for admission o the Lake
County Bar association, which con-
sists of Judge w. W. Mcmahon. John
F. sawyer and Fred Crumpacker, ex-
poets to take up the matter of admit
ting Henry c. Price, the Gary attorney,
to membership
1t is understood that the committee
has information, in the form of affida
Wits, of some alleged Irregularities in
connection with Prices practice of law
in indianapolis and that it will act on
this information.
In the meantime it is understood that
Judge Johannes Eopelke is seeking
some information regarding Price from
the same source. Prices vindication, IL
he is vindicated at all. will be only
after his case has been thoroughly gone
into and all of the evidence against
him secured.
Price seems to court an investigation
and the members of the committee OF
the bar association seem inclined to go
into the matter thoroughly.
