ONE MORE
ARREST MADE

One more arrest was made today as
the result of true bills returned by the
Gary grand jury. Vincent Cesare.
prominent in political circles. was in
dicted on the charge of letting property
for illegal purposes. Cesare was re-
leased on bonds of one thousand dol
lars.
Deputy Sheriffs Odds and Suits have
upwards of nifty additional warrants to
serve and they will cause arrests as
soon as they can dispose of routine
business. Further arrests are expected
before the week-endS.
That the grand jury is going after
Lake county property owners who let
their property for gambling and vice

ready returned and the report that forty
persons. many of them prominent, will
be arrested in all parts Of Lake county
as the result of being hit by true bills.

WHAT IS
To HAPPEN
ABOUT It?
TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 29-No one
seems to know what will happen next in
the constitutional convention case.
First. Judge Thornton. who decided that
women had no right to vote Tor the
election of delegates TO the constitution
al convention, said this meant that they
had no right to register for that cleo
ton. Then Attorney General STAINS
bury gave an opinion that women had a
right TO register. in spite of the Thorn
ton decision. Next, Judge Thornton
any county clerk that permitted women
to register for the constitutional con-
vention election would be in contempt
of his court
But now Judge Thornton and the reg
istration board of this county have
reached an agreement that women may
continue to register and although he
says he sticks TO his decision, Judge
Thornton says he will not entertain any
contempt proceedings in his court in
case any one should happen to attempt
TO hale the women or the county clerks
into court. Therefore, registration Of
women for the special election has been
resumed.
This means that all county clerks in
the state are authorized to resume reg
istration without being in danger of
contempt OF court. The appeal from
Judge Thornton the supreme court
has been set for hearing on July 10.
The Thornton decision does not pre-
vent women from voting at city cleo
lions next fall and they should. there
fore. register for that purpose if they
wish to vote then.

SINCLAIR OIL To
PAY FLOATING
DEBT

NEW YORK, June 29-Though Off
Gals are silent concerning future plans
of the Sinclair Oil & Refining Company,
it is understood that the details now be-
ing worked out call for an issue of a
large block of common stock. This
block will probably run between 100000
to 100000 shares of no par value and
will be offered to stockholders under
$40 a share
The original plans are said to have
called for a considerably smaller
amount of new stock with an under
writing price of $40 or better. Since
that time the wisdom OF an increased
amount of cash has been brought home
to the directors and in order to make
the market for the stock more salts
factory. the underwriting price will
probably be below that originally con-
sidered.
The outstanding capital as now con-
stituted consists of 970.074 shares with
out par value The authorized issue at
present is 100000 shares.
H. F. Sinclair. president Of the Sin
clair Oil & Refining Company, who is in
Chicago, said: we are making arrange
ments to retire the floating indebted
ness and provide for development work.
The corporation is earning at the rate
of 1900. 900 year. The pipe line to
Kansas City will be completed and in
operation July Is. This will materially
increase earnings The completion of
the pipe line TO East Chicago will fur
there increase earnings. There is no
thought of disseminating dividends as
the outlook for the oil business was
never brighter. Some of the rumors I
have heard are ridiculous

Commission men here say there is
still a shortage of potatoes in the
market. but 1t has been learned that
there are 100 cars of potatoes on side
tracks here. which. If released. would
send prices down. There is talk of an
investigation here of the charge that
many carloads of potatoes are being
held off in order to maintain a scarcity
and keep prices high.
Philadelphia reports potatoes now at
SIS to 1915 a barrel of three bushels,
against SO to $12 a barrel a few weeks
ago. But in Indianapolis there has been
practically no reduction. Word from
New York says potatoes are selling
there at 81 a barrel. as against iss45 a

WOLF MARCOv|CH
IS ALSO ACCUSED
Indiana Harbor Roumanian
Leader Brings Grave
Charges.

An incident growing out OF the re-
cent Red Cross war fund solicitation at
Indiana Harbor came to a focus Wed
nesday when John Pete. respected Rou-
manian leader in the sixth ward am
member of the soliciting committee.
filed an affidavit against Wolf Marco
vich and his two sons. Paul and Mike
Marcovich, s716 Cedar street. charging
them with assault and battery end pro-
woke.
The action was filed in Judge Priests
court. Hammond, by deputy Prosecutor
W. 0. Thomas.
Mr.. Pete. who was very active and
earnest in assisting to boost the war
fund. says that he and John Sulski went
to Marcovich's place to ask Wolf for
a contribution: that this was the third
or fourth time that he had been there
but had never been able 10 find Mr.
Marcovich in; that Mr.. Marcovich re-
fused to make any contribution; that
he became angry and called the solicit
tors vile names; that he said Ito hi
with you. to HI with the Red Cross.
and to hi with the American govern
ment"; that after he and Sulski had
gone out of the place and were on the
sidewalk he was set upon by Mike Mar
covich and hit in the face.
Those who know John Pete and his
ability TO take care Of himself under
almost any sort of an attack are COM
plimenting him upon his restraint when
hit by young Marcovich. The inflow
drew blood and had the dispute been
over anything but a government matter
John would probably have taken mat
ters into his own hands and shown
who was the master. As 1t was he
choked his wrath and turned away. be-
lieving that the offense was too great
to be settled by a street quarrel.
No complaint has been made by Mr.
Pete to the federal authorities. but the
story reached the ears of Federal In
spector Bragdon while at East Chicago
this morning and 1t is probable that
some action will be taken in regard to
what Marcovich is reputed to have said
about the American government and
the Red Cross.
