The man who keeps others at a re
spectful distance more often domin-
ates those with whom he comes in con-

difference, and often contempt.

Gary, Ind, May 6.-With 16 of their
leaders in Jail under charges ranging
from sedition TO disorderly conduct
and detectives searching for other agi-
tators, the 10000 Gary radicals who
planned a "red Sunday" in defiance of
state and municipal authority went
back to their jobs in the steel mills.
There were many sore heads among
the 10000, for vigorous methods We're
used in preventing the intended dem
onstration. But of the revolutionary
fervor which possessed a large pro-
portion Of Ga"y:s population Sunday
morning little now remains.
Fifty police armed with riot guns, 25
deputy sheriffs with automatic pistols.
several hundred returned soldiers
restless for fight and volunteer Or
ganizatiOn of Gary citizens met the
radicals and almost literally chewed
them up.
Two Battles Staged.
There We're two distinct battles dur
ing the daylight hours. The first oc-
Cured at noon and definitely decided
the anarchists against conducting
their raid
The second developed at p. m.,
when throng of the "proletariat" re-
fused to disperse when directed by the
police. A total of 40 men was arrest
ed after the pair of fights.
The police, soldiers and citizens who
flung themselves into the fray came
out of the affair with no wounds show
ing. Many of the ''reds'' were badly
beaten.
Scatter for Bandages.
After the two engagements the an
,archists-few of whom could speak q
word of English-scattered in search
of liniments and bandages.
In spite of the casualties, 1t was

was to be u dance. Police, soldiers
and the citizens committee having
tasted blood, announced that they, too
would participate in the nights ten

Leaders of the /. w. W. movement
had planned on conducting their ma

was given wide advertisement, but at
the last hour the promoters decided it
would be safer to "try it first ON the
dog"
Gary, Indiana's Industrial center,
was selected, chiefly because of its for
eign-spealSing population. All those
concerned with the overthrow of the
! government were invited. Morris Lie
herman, Russian druggist in Gary, was
in charge Of local arrangements.
Mayor w. Ell. Hodges issued proc
lamation promising to break up any

CO[. GR|NSTEAD SLEPT AT POST,
 BLAND CHARGES
Congressman Also Intimates Gen. Harts No Better Than Sleepy Soldiers Who Were
 Given Sentences of Death

PARIS Sept. 6.-The congressional sub committee continued its sittings today in it's investigation of the af- fairs of the American army. Major Bennett, inspector general Of the Paris district, replying to questions regarding the administration of the provost marshaps office and soldiers prisons in Paris. declared that the conduct of the provost marshaps of flee was unsatisfactory and ineffici- ent prior to February of this year. But he defended the officers of the Paris command generally on the ground that they had to contend with the most difficult conditions that were the outgrowth of the war.
 Arrests were made of soldiers and officers of the American expedition ary forces in Paris at the rate of 500 weekly during August, September and October, 1918. Many of them were deserters, some of them were accidentally "absent without leave" but all were huddled together in four rooms in the Rue Sainte Anne. in the same building where Brigadier Gen eral Harts had his headquates. the "awols" mingled with criminals.
 General Harts. he continued in- spected the quarters once a week and knew of conditions He tried to get more room and procure more blan- kets.
 Congressman Bland asked the wit ness why. if privates were condemn cd to be rkot for going to sleep on dntv as occu~red in two instances in tue A. E. F.. General Harts and Colonel G-instead. "who went to sleep nt their posts," should not also bo courtmartialed.
 Major Bennett replied that he did no. think the officers in the Paris districts should be courtmartialed because he thought they did the best they could under the conditions.
 Representative Johnson asked the witness If the American soldiers were not hetter treated in Carnanv than in the rTisons of the A. E. F.. in Paris and Chelles. to which he replied:
 "Perhaps they were in some cases"
 Major Bennett declared that most Of the eolnrlaints c*me from men whose business was not in Paris, but at the front. and that ss far as he was aware. all officers guilty of punishable conduct had been tried.
