H0YNE
REJECTS
CHALLENGE
HOyne Further GTlIIed by Ex-
Prosecutor In Statement
Given to TIMES.

Maclay Hoyne. Chicago's monumental
four-husher. who was challenged by
former States Attorney J. A Patter-
son TO show what he meant by be-
smirching Lake county in speech at
jected the chaliange.
Hoyne in answering Patterson replied
that he is not charged with duties con-
cerning conditions in Gary. nor disposed
to waste time debating whether Cook IS
worse than Lake county. which. would
not improve Lake county. which. "as
said for the last five or six years. has
been a haven for habitual criminals and
crooks of all kinds with interstate repu-
tatfon for criminality."
In connection with Hoyne's spIurge a
party OF Hammond manufacturers and
bankers who went to see Hoyne some
time ago regarding the Infamous condi-
tions Hoyne permits across the state
line to the detriment Of Indiana are
watching the fracas with no little in
terest.
when the representatives of the
Hammond Manufacturers Association
went to see HoyDe." declared John E.
Fitzgerald. I'VE were unable to do so.
We could get no satisfaction whatever
and we were treated in manifestly un-
courteous fashion by Hoyne. When we
cleaned UP West Hammond we couldn't
get a bit of help from Hoyne. we had
to do II ourselves"
Mr.. Patterson's statement is as fol-
lows:
..I have received a letter from Maclay
Illinois, who backs away from my chal-
lenge to debate with him on conditions in
Lake county and in Cook county during
the four years ending January 1. 1917,
when 1 served as prosecuting attorney
for Lake county. Hoyne's reply bears
out my opinion that he is a political
four-fusher.
IT was in hopes that Hoyne would be
game enough to accept this challenge so
that l might have an opportunity of
telling him mething about the GRIM
inaI hell holes in his own county.
which he has failed to take any action
he has taken to eliminate the same.
We have the right to conclude therefore
that when criminal hell holes. Burn
ham for instance. where the most vici-
Gus crime in the country is carried on
and there is no prosecution. that some
high official is receiving money.
THE fact of the matter is. Mr.. Hoyne
has never personally prosecuted one
criminal case of any Importance dur
ing the four and one-half years he has
been In the states attorneys office.
Hoyne's address before the Civic Serv-
ice Club of Gary. was nothing more
than an insult to the respectable wom-
en- of our city"

HERE MEN
IS WHAT YOU
MUST DO!
BT WEBB luLLER.

WASHINGTON. July 7.-Americas 5
men of draft age are on their honor to
ascertain whether or not they are
drawn in the big human lottery.
The war department today asked that
in the next few weeks they be on the
alert, following the newspaper an
nouncements of the draft requirements,
and when in doubt ask their local ex-
emption board. The provost marshal
general is preparing g boiled down an
nouncement of draft requirements so
that there can be no mistaking the duty
of the nine million five hundred thou
sand registrants.
In brief this is what each registrant
is required to do:
Go to his exemption board and find
out what your red ink serial number is
as soon as your board has finished num-
berlng the cards for the big lottery.
Watch for the drawing in Washing
ton.
Then find out whether you were
drawn and the order in which you must
appear.
After that learn when you must ap-
pear for physical examination.
In case of doubt as to any. point ask
your local board about it.
These are the first steps the regis
trant must watch, but there will be
others. and as every man is taxed with
the responsibility of knowing require
ments, it behooves the youth of Amer
lea TO Keep close tab on newspapers
from now on. The first set of instruc-
tions will be given officially to the
press in the next few days

FL|ERS Kill.
81; INJURED
NUMBER al.
German Air Pirates Fly Low and
There Are 20 of Them
In Number.
(By United Press Cablegtam.)


LONDON, July 7.-Thirty-sev-
en- men and women and children
were killed and 141 wounded when
the fleet of 20 German aeroplanes
bombarded London early today.
Lord French officially announced
the causalties this afternoon. Of
the dead % were men, six were
women and three children.
The injured include "a men, 80
women and 81 children.
The admiralty announced three
of the German air raiders were
brought down over the North Sea,
and Lord French announced the
destruction of another which was
brought down at the mouth of the
Thames river.
From the admiralty statement it
is apparent the raiding aeroplanes
were engaged far out over the
North Sea in a running fight. The
river Scheldt empties into the
North Sea after passing Antwerp.
Lord French reported thirty-four
were killed, 13o injured in London
alone.
The raid was the greatest from
the standpoint of the number of
enemy machines participating that
London has suffered since the be-
ginning.
The casualties however were
not so heavy as were suffered on
June 13 when 157 persons were
killed and 432 injured.
(sy United Press cablegram.)
| LONDON, July THE largest
fleet of German aeroplanes that
ever raided London dropped bombs
over the city today. Twenty ma
chimes were seen.
The damage and casualty have
not been announced but judging
from the alarcrity with which
Londoners sought their cellers the
losses probably will be smaller
than from previous attacks.
The German air pirates flew low
today. In the great raid June 13
the sixteen Germans flew at such
a height that they were practical
ly invisible from the streets. The
curiosity of Londoners heretofore
responsible for many deaths be-
cause of the rush to the streets to
gap at the invaders has worn off.
Today they scooted for cover at
the first alarm.
