yesterday afternoon in Chicago by Capt

as George Holmes. alias Happy. alias
Weaver. and Jessie johnson, alias Black
Jessie. both who have criminal careers
and were captured at house on Cottage
Grove avenue with some of the stolen
goods in their possession.
The arrest is one OF the most import
ant made in the Twin Cities in months.
as many robbcries that have been COM
mitted in Indiana Harbor may be traced
to these men now in custody.
The robbery which the accused men
are held for was committed at a time
when the night shift of the Inland Steel
were coming home and it is not yet
known how the accused men could have
broken the show case without some one
hearing the noise.
OF the total of over 81. 900 goods
which were stolen. $500 has been recov-
cred. and the police expect to recover
the balance of the goods some time to-
day. Both men have. however, refused

CHIEF NITz TO
RETAIN HIS JOB
Council Importunes West
Hammond Police Head to
Stick With Ship

Joseph Nitz is still chief Of the West
Hammond police force and will con-
tinue in that capacity. AL the urgent
request of the city council he has de-
cided to stay on the job.
Chief Nitz rendered his resignation
two weeks ago at the same time he
turned in the resignation OF Officer
John Kosmala. After some debate the
resignation OF Kosmala was accepted.
while Nitz was persuaded to hold over
until NOV. Is.
At the meeting of the council last
week he was once more importuned
to stay with the department and yes
terday when the time for his resigna-
ton rolled around he announced that
he had reconsidered the matter and
ould keep the Job.
1t is not likely that a successor will
be named for Mr. Kosmala at present
as the city has been operating on
short funds this year and the va
cancy is looked upon as an oppor-
tunity to save a little money.

BUILDING D Ell A Y
BECOMING SERIOUS
Public Works and Utilities
Constructed Faster Than
Houses.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Delay in
relieving the housing shortage all
over the country is greater than in
any other form Of building construc-
ton, according to a review of con-
tracts issued today by the r. W.
Dodge company. Public works, in
dustrial buildings and public utili-
ties are being constructed much
faster than residences and are less
affected by high prices. high wages
and shortage OF material.
Contracts awarded for residential
buildings in the first three months
this year vary from IA to % per-
cent OF total building contracts in
different sections of the country.
Normally residences account for
about 30 percent Of the contracts.
and in view Of existing needs, the
review says, residences should rep
resent about 40 percent OF the total
construction
Acute Situation.
IN New York state and northern
New Jersey II percent OF the con-
tracts in the first quarter Of the
year represented residential build
ings. "a matter of serious. concern. -
says the review. las IL is probable
that the housing shortage is more
acute in this territory than anywhere
else.
In the territory east of the Mis-
souri, river and north of the Ohio
residential construction was 19 per
cent of the total, in New England
% percent: in the district Of Phila-
delphia. Baltimore and Washington.
2S percent; in the Pittsburg district.
10 percent; in the central west, is
-. 1. - nd
percent.
In no district is contemplated
building construction as high as so
uprcant
