PADDED PAYROLL
SUIT At CARY

Yesterday in Judge Greenwald's Gary
superior court suit entitled the Ameri-
can Tank Car corporation vs.. Pay Roll
Padders. East Chicago. was filed.
The suit IS filed TO recover $4,000 al
legged to have been stolen IN monster
pay roll fraud.
Defendants named In the suit are Roy
Herzinger. general foreman at the ca
tank plant; Nose kovachi, department
foreman; John Sake. department fore
man; %irst National Bank of Hammond
and the National Motor Freight and Ex-
press Company Of Indiana
In August. 1917. the complaint sets
out that the defendants (three foremen)
conspired with others whose Identities
have not yet been established to de-
fraud the company by padding" the
pay. roll-the time cards being falsely
reported and the pay checks secured.
In a brief space of time a transporta-
tion company is being financed so
enormous has been the steal the COM
plant alleges. Now the American Tank
Company seek to retrieve its losses by
recovering the stock held by the fore
men in the company together with the
monies deposited in the Hammond bank.

CONGRESS CONCERNED
OVER FUTURE OF ARMY
What Form of Organization
/ Will Replace the Nation
al Guard.
fBY TNIrED -. ]


WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec. 2s--Con-
gress today was growing restive at the
war departments delay in announcing
its plan for the army reorganization.
Chairman Dent of the house military
committee had told Secretary Baker and
other officials that unless the depart
ment acts quickly it viii be impossible
70 put through al army reorganiza ton
bill at this session of congress.
So far. Dent says Baker has given
no hint of what he expects to Go TO raise
force to replace the present army.
Drafted men must be discharged four
months after peace is declared. Volun-
teers who enlisted after April I, 1917.
must be discharged when peace is de-
clared.
This would leave only the men who
volunteered for the regular army before
that date and their number is not suffi-
cient for ordinary garrison and order
duty.
Among other questions to be answered
before an appropriation bill can pass
are;
What is going to happen TO the no-
tional guards?
If abandoned what sort of force is
going to replace it2
What is the department attitude on
UNIVERSAL training
If it is not to be adopted why arc a
number of cantonments being retained?

TRINITY'S CHOIR FUND.
Movement on Foot Here for Permanent
Financial Plan.

Trinity Parish Annals says. Just
one year ago, al q time when It did not
seem very suitable to give II publicity,
8 plan was conceived bv one Of our valued
parishioners. for the establishment of q
permanent choir fund TO which contri-
buttons might be made from time TO time
and from which improvements and equip
ment might be derived for the better
development OF the music in Trinity
Church Shortly before tins suggestion
was made, Mrs. Joseph Swift had been
called TO her rest, and q trltlIng sum
received for her latest musical publica-
tiOn was donated as a fitting nucleus Tor
this proposed choir fund, which IS thus
IN It's very inception associated with her
memory The plan itself Is SO praise
worthy that II seems we'll 70 lay II before
our people, not for immediate action, but
as food for thought IN relation to the future
of our work. Our excellent choI-master,
Mr. r. Leslie Carpenter, has very proper
ambitions about an improved and enlarg
ed organ for Trinity Church, and for other
developments in our musical department.
These aspirations are natural for one who
ha. served faithfully for more than thirty
wears. and witnessed wonderful material
development in the parish, without any
corresponding enlargement Of opportunity
IN his own special sphere OF operations.

docking to increased luxury of worship
but most OF US like 10 ride hobbies

these lines shOuld he moved TO look
further INTO the opportunity for generous
