Man Said to Have Been Men,
Der of Whitley Black Gang
Told Over the TeIe-
phone to 'L-ay Low"
SUSPECT is BROUGHT
BACK FROM TOLEDO
John SObkOWiak Admits He
Was in City on Day of
Murder But Claims
an AIibi.

That one Of the murderers Of
Henry Muessel and Frank Chrobot
was a member of the Whitley
Black gang of safe robbers ana stick
up men which fiourished here several
years ago. was the report given to
the police department Tuesday. This
new angle of the double murder
mystery was being investigated Tues
day by the department although 1t
could not be learned whether or not
the man who was formerly mixed up
with Whitley" Black had been
placed under arrest.
According to the report. the man,
who has borne a shady reputation
here, was overheard TO telephone
someone and warn him TO lay low"
The conversation was reported to the
police and the actions of the alleged
crook were so unusual as 10 excite
suspicion. In telling the person at
the other end of the telephone line
to lay low" the former member Of
the Black gang, mentioned the
names of some policemen.
Just what the police have on the
alleged crook is not known but it
is certain that the man is being in
vestigated.
Chief Kuespert returned from To-
ledo early Tuesday morning with
John SObkowiak. 2S years old, who
is held as a suspect in connection
with the double murder. Sobkowiak
was arrested Monday by the Toledo
police at the request of Chief Kues-
pert. The man did not object to
being brought back here, stating that
he was innocent of the charge and
could prove an alibi.
Chief Kerr said Tuesday afternoon
that although there were several
questions unsettled regarding Sob
kowiak the department has been un-
able 10 secure any conclusive evil
dence against him. The Toledo man
admits being in South Bend on the
day of the double murder, alleging
that he came acre in search of work,
understanding that he could secure
employment i'm a local lumber yard.
He says he did not like the work and
returned to Toledo Friday morning.
1t is understood that Sobkowiak
has not answered several questions
satisfactorily regarding his presence
in the city and will be held until
such time as he does. Although
SObkOwiak is known to the Toledo
police be has never caused any Sc
rious trouble.

ternOon and was considered almost

LONDON, Jan. 4. - Lord Derby's
report showing how many Britons
volunteered for service under his re-
cruiting scheme was made public to-
day.
1t shows that 651.160 single men
failed TO volunteer.
A total of 2.1S4,979 was attested.
OF these. however, only 1,423,104
are available for active service in
the field. The men who through
some defect are not fit for field
service total 761,S75.
Owing to the rush Of recruits
l925,445 attested men were not
given a medical examination. This
will be done when they are called up
for service.
1t is estimated that the net num-
Der of available single men who at
tested is 1886; married men, 49,
I676.
Figures Are Low.
The figures contained in the Derby
report were not as high as had been
expected and il was for that reason
that modified form of cOnscrip-
ton was agreed upon by the cabinet.
The Derby recruits were divided
into groups of starred" and "un-
starred men. The starred" men
are the ones unfit for active service
as soldiers under arms. The star
red" group will be used as munition
workers or in some other field.
The totals of the groups are:
Starred" men: Single, 312.067;
married. 449,SOS.
"Unstarred" men: Single, 527,933;
married. S95.151
The total number of men of mil
itary aged dealt with at the opening
Of Lord Derby's recruiting campaign
were:
2,179.231 Bachelors.
Bachelors. 2,179,231; married men,
2,S32,21O. At the end of the cam
paign total Of 10000 single men
and 1,679,263 married men had been
enlisted for immediate service. had
attested or had been rejected as I'M
fit.
Between oct. II and Dec. 10 a
total of 275,O31 single and married
men had enlisted for immediate ser
vice.
The total number of men rejected
upon medical grounds was 42S,S53.
Those who attested under the
group system numbered 2.246,63O.
Considerable difficulty was exper-
fenced by the managers Of Lord
Derby's scheme in starring" the
men, that is. in separating them into
the proper groups for service in diff
ferent branches of military work.
Cabinet i'm Session.
The cabinet met today to settle, if
possible. the final details of the mOdi-
| fed CONSUMPTION bill. There was
keen opposition to the proposition
that Ireland should be excluded from
the workings of the measure; the op-
position against including Ireland
was fully as strong.
Premier Asquith was understood to
be very anxious to introduce the bill
in the house of commons tomorrow,
but it was considered doubtful
whether the details could be worked
out in time.
The bill may be modelled after the
Derby scheme In that event all
single men OF military age would not
be called to the colors at once. but

The response to the call for new members during the past month which is one of the three months des- ignated as the John Carrier Gallagh- CT months in honor of the late Broth CT Gallagher whose fine work in be- half of the A. O. U. w. needs no further comment in these columns, is very gratifying to those connected with the proposal of the idea. Farren lodge of Bridgeport with three initia- tionS in February and StOnington lodge, No. 50. with two limitations are the leaders for the month of Feb ruary. Many of the other lodges in cluding Rochester, Momauguin, Israel Putnam, and Osceola, have initiated one member and are on the trail of several others. Besides these initia- tiOns several of the lodges have ap- plications pending so that the coming week should bring several more can didates into membership in the A. O. p. w. the pioneer fraternal insurance organization of America. There is hardly any need of discussing the benefits to be derived from a mem- bership in the A. O. U. w. as all con- nected with the order are fully aware of them, and it is hoped that all will do their best to make these benefits common knowledge among their friends and relatives in order that they may enjoy the same privileges and benefits.

 Regular business was transacted and seven candidates were initiated in an impressive manner by the off, cers who conducted the ceremony.
 The members are working hard at present to increase the membership of the court and as the members of the other two courts are also working on plans to increase membership the rivalry between the three courts has been keen but friendly as all Forest CTS should be.
 At the next meeting of Court Sa- chem, No. 94. it is expected that a good sized class will be on hand for initiation and everything points to a the number added to the membership of the court.
 The FUresters' initiation fees are smaller than any other fraternal or der and the benefits to be derived are many.

Entries in the tourn- ament close March 25'th, at midnight, and the entrance fees have started to come in. Five hundred teams will en- i ter, and the prize list will be the big gest of any tourney ever held in the eastern part of the United States. Elk lodge secretaries and others interested in the A. c.

NEW LINE OF INQUIRY
 IN BRANDEIS HEARING
In Connection With the Stevens Price
 Maintenance Bill.

Washington. March 3.-A new line of inquiry was inaugurated today by the senate committee considering the nom nation of Louis D. Brandeis to the supreme court. William Whitman, a WoOlen manufacturer of Boston and William H. Ingersoll, a watch manu- facturer of New York, were summoned to testify, it is understood, as to what connection, if any, MT. Brandeis had with the unsuccessful campaign for passage of the Stevens price mainte- nance bill by congress.
 There was no announcement of the committees exact purpose. but Sena- tor Walsh said that Whitman had been asked to appear because 1t had come to the committee informally that he might know something adverse to Brandeis.
 The only testimony heard so far be- fore the committee as to Brandeis' part in the price maintenance campaign was that of A. Whittier. secretary of the American Fair Trade league, who said that Brandeis refused to receive pay for furthering the objects of the league, the passage of such a measure as the Stevens bill.
 The entire time of the committee to- day was consumed by Edward F. Mc- Clennen, a member of the Brandeis law firm, in explaining Brandeis con- nection with the Warren will case and the Gillette safety razor case.
