May Abolish Decorations.

A movement has been started in Nor
way in favor OF the abolition Of decora-
tions.
NJ. Thorne, a Cabinet minister. and
former speaker of the Stprthing. has
set an example by declining the Grand
Cross of Saint Olaf, the highest dis
tinction in Norway. which the King
recently conferred upon him in recognl-
ton OF his services. especially at the
time Norway declared her independ-
ence. and the dissolution OF the Swed-
h-Sorwegian union took place
In returning the decoration, VI.
Thorne thanked His Majesty for the
honor, but said that he thought that
he was doing his duty as a Norwegian
citizen in refusing it Coming from
a strong Conservative. this action
shows how widespread is the objection
to decorations IN the country.
In the Storthing there are eighty
two members who control a majority
against decorations. They have al
ready submitted an amendment to the
Constitution in this respect, which Is
certain TO be passed

PROTEST
AGAINST
SERVICE
Mass Meeting in Tolleston
Wednesday Night to Bring
Fearful Gary & Interur-
ban Service Into the Lime
light.

Tomorrow evening at Kunert's hall
the citizens OF Tolleston will meet to
protest against the operating schedule
Of the Gary and Interurban railway.
Many steel workers. workers. who are
delayed in going and coming from the
mills, will be present.
1t Is planned to name committees to
call upon the city council. the traction
company. and it is possible that one
will be appointed to get signatures for
a complaint petition to be filed with
the public utilities commission.
One OF the grievances against the
present operating schedule is the claim
that the whole traction system Is tied
up because of the inability of the Val
paraiso- Hammond cars to confine
themselves TO the time table limits.
The service during the past few
weeks has been something awful to
contemplate and patrons OF the road
are beginning to think that the operat-
ing department is on a vacation.

zones. or to all points in the United
States beyond the $50 mile limit, will

last two. 1t was only few months

The step that he has taken is only
a partial development OF the parcel

poets will be carrying packages up TO
100 pounds to all parts OF the country.

THIEVES
AT LARGE
IN HARB0R

Early Sunday morning thieves broke
into the shoe store belonging to Steve
10th, in Block avenue. and stole sew
era1 hundred dollars worth of goods.
Part of the goods have been recovered
by the Indiana Harbor police, but no
arrests have been made, although Ser
geant Hughes is quite. encouraged IN
the belief that the men responsible for
the Job will be in custody in the near
future.
At o'clock Sunday morning 10th
visited his store and was considerably
surprised to find shoes lying about the
floor in the greatest confusion, boxes
upset. and great confusion generally.
He knew at once that he had Oeen rob-
bed and after notifying the police, set
about sorting out the shoes. The fact
that many of the shoes taken had their
mates left behind, leads to the belief
that professionals are not responsible
for the job but rather that was the
work of unskilled home talent.
Sergeant Hughes and Officers Shields
and Bell have worked continuously on
the case ever since the report of the
robbery was received, and at o'clock
this morning they were rewarded by
| the discovery of a box containing quite
a number of pairs of shoes and a sack
with leather anu Olner repair supplies.
| Officers Ball and Lewis made this dis
covery. The goods were brought to
the station and the police nave hopes
| of finding other plumber in the same
vicinity where this lot was discovered
and elsewhere. AS the case has not
/ been completed they are Withholding
definite information as to the locality
| in which the first lot of the plumber
was found. and where they expect to
unearth more
Sergeant Hughes said this morning:
| "Householders and store-keepers would
| best keep a sharp watch over their
possessions. and keep their places se-
curely locked, as we are looking for
more of this sort of thing right along
now. The police are redoubling their
vigilance on all sides. as every day
| idle men from all over the country are
drifting in, looking for legitimate
work, or not finding that, for job to
put over" For the past two or three
weeks the station has had many ap-
| plicants for lodging, sometimes as
many as thirty applying for a bed In
one night"
