GARY MAN CHARGED
WITH GRAND LARCENY
Morris Gubitz Accused of
Stealing Rags by Whole
sale at Hebron

VALPARAISO. IND. July 1S.-Morris
Gubitz of Gary is in Jail charged with
the theft Of $3.50 worth Of rags from
Hebron.
According to the story told by the
officers Gubitz went to Hebron. where
he learned that rags were stored in the
barn belonging to tho Misses Rice The
young ladies have been teaching in Chi
cago, and while away man by the
name of Cornish used the barn. Mr.
Cornish has been buying rags since the
cyclone visited the district. and accord
ing to his statement the rags stored in
the barn were worth between seven and
eight hundred dollars. He was in Chi
cago to arrange for selling them, and
while away Gubitz came to Hebron AT
first he asked the Misses Rice if they
knew where he could buy rags. They
told him they didn't know. He learned
that the barn was full of rags. and
after in the morning he brought mo-
tor truck from Gary and loaded up as
many rags as possible. Two or three
trips were made with the truck during
the night 10 get all the rags. He paid
$40 for the use of the truck, and the
owner did not know they were gone I'M
til a friend asked him why he was NOV
ing his rags out By motor truck late
at night.

were gone, and the matter was reported
to Sheriff Forney, who later made the
arrest. 4 warrant is also out FOR the
mans brother and it is expected he

.EsCHBACH OBJECTS To
LAKE COUNTY CENSUS
Sends Protest to Provost
Marshal General; Draft
Quotas Affected.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

INDIANAPOLIS IND. July 1s.-
Jesse Eschbbach. state CONSUMPTION
agent. yesterday sent communication
to Provost AIarshaI-Genera1 Crowder. at
Washington. protesting that the census
bureaus allotment of population in
Lake county cities. is far too large com
pared with the actual population OF the
county
Mr.. Esch bach would not discuss the
situation today. but it IS believed by
the state officials that the census bu-
reau's figures give the city Of Gary
$4,000 too much population. the city OF
East Chicago $4,000 too much and Lake
county, outside Of the two cities. $4,000
too much population.
Approxim ately ten men are to be
drafted from each 1000 population Of
the country On this basis it is esti-
mated that 1000 men, above what Indi-
ana officials regard as the proper quota.
will be drafted from Lake county.
Lake county probably has more men,
between the draft ages. than any other
county IN the central west. Many aliens
also were registered under the draft law
and this undoubtedly tended to increase
Lake county's quota.
state officers are not proceeding with
the distribution of county quotas. under
the draft law pending word from Wash
ington as to what Will be done with the
Lake county estimate. If they change
the figures for that county. the quotas
from all other counties Of the state also
Will be changed.

Alkali in Soap

CD OVER
RECORDS

For the past three days. three va1ua-
ton experts from the state. tax board at
Indianapolis. have been going through
the large plants Of East Chicago getting
a line on valuations so that they might
intelligently testify before the board
that is to begin its session tomorrow

that city.
These men are mechanical. electric
and construction engineers under the
employ Of the public service commits
sion Placing values on properties of
corporations is their sole business.
This action was taken by the state
tax board as a result of the failure Of

quate values before the county board of
