Charity workers in Hammond are fac
ing a new problem. They are divided
in opinion. the issue being the best way
for effective work. on the one side
are those favorrng the organization Of
an Associated Charities. and on the
other are those who would avoid any
afhliation with the state organization
as it is worked out through Associated
Charities Among the latter are some.
however, who would compromise by
having all charity work in Hammond
organized under one system of govern
ment without any outside afhliation.
All sides are presenting arguments TO
favor their contentious, which are
friendly and sincere, and which throw
some light on the growing spirit in
Hammond for the benefit of the IN
fortunates
Arguments Pro and Con.
The principal argument that has been
advanced thus far to THE TIMES by
those opposed to Associated Charities is
that it would be too expensive an in
stitution. inasmuch as it would entail
the employment of a charity worker
or investigator whose monthly salary
would not be less than $50 a month.
Thist. they say, is money that should
be spent for charity directly instead of
Indirectly.
The advocates of the Associated
Charities answer that Hammond is too
large city to have the charity work
ers divided among themselves, and
crossing each others tracks with their
charity work. They say that the cases
are too many in the city to be properly
looked after by the good hearted wo-
men who give as much of their time as
they can. and trust to good luck and
providence for the welfare Of the bal
ance.

FOUL PLAY
THEORY IN DEATH
Of MARYLAND MAN
Coroner Decides Koekel,
Found With Throat Cut,
Was Suicide.

Coroner ]. Ramsay Eevitt said today
that he was convinced beyond all doubt
that William koekel, agent for a Cum
herla1ld. Md, brewery, who was found
dead April 30, with his throat slashed
with a razor, in a room at the CONNER
cial Hotel, committed suicide, and un-
less there are new developments he said
he saw no reason for reopening the
case.
Relatives Of Koekel believe he met
with foul play. and are having an in
vestigation made Of the circumstances
surrounding his death. They base their
belief on the fact that when Koekel
left Cumberland for washington he had
s7c0 in his possession. When ne was
found dead there was only H.W In his
clothing. The police were unable to
find what disposition Koekel had made
of the money.
On the day Kookel was found Coroner
hewitt, accompanied by detectives. visit
ed the hotel. and said there was nothing
to indicate 1t was anything but case
Of suicide The door was locked from
the inside.
Yesterday the police received letter
from Koekers brother, in Cumberland,
asking the Washington authorities to
reopen the case. No further action will
bo taken. however. unless relatives are
able to obtain evidence to substantiate
their suspicious.
