HAMMOND COUNTERFE|TERS
REACH TO DETROIT

Furtherance of bolshevism in the
United States through financial
stimulus obtained by raising $500
bills to higher denominations is ac-
credited to twenty-four men arrest
ed in all parts of the country by
local authorities and secret service
agents. This was revealed by the
arrest in Detroit of seven men al
legged to be the ring leaders of the
nationwide counterfeit gang, three
of whom were nabbed less than
month ago in HammoEd's north side
after they had passed two 500 bills
raised from "fives" on merchants
there.
At the time OF the arrest here of
the three Russians. local police quiz
zing them were certain operations
of the band centered at Detroit.
This information, with other facts
obtained by Hammond detectives,
was turned over to Captain Wash
burn of the Indianapolis office of
The United States secret service,
who took the three men to the In
diana metropolis after they had
been bound over to the Federal
grand jury by U. S. Commissioner
Charles Surprise
Police in Cleveland. Buffalo, Bos-
ton and Chicago arrested other
members of the bolshevik promotion
band of seventeen members.
At the headquarters of the gang
in Detroit's west side. police found
plans of gigantic conspiracy to
flood the country with spurious
raised bills. The good cash thus OBJ
tanned was to be used ostensibly in

furthering tolshevik propaganda
here.
Police believe that it was the in
tention of the master minds back
of the project, however. to use the
plea of bolsheyism merely as a cloak
to further their own interests This.
by securing fanatical dupes willing
to sacrifice everything for their mis-
guided conception of liberty.
Officer Lau of the local depart
ment made the arrest of the three
men on the north side. which police
believe provided the final link in
determining the true loaction of the
gangs headquarters.
Lau commandeered a passing au-
tomobile and gave chase to the trio.
He caught them. They were bundled
into the machine and taken to the
police station. On the way one of
them. fearing police would find the
counterfeit money on his person,
thrust his hand into his pocket and
threw to the floor of the auto what
he believed was a roll of spurious
notes.
When the owner Of the machine
drove away from the police station
he found s1S5 in good cash on the
floor In the rear of the car.
At the station, police found eleven
$50 faxed bills in the pocket of the
prisoner. who thought he had got

JOHN KILLIGREW TELLS
HOW It ALL HAPPENED
Says He Went Home On
Tuesday Night Convinc-
ed He Was the Loser.

John killigrew. Republican nomi-
nee for county clerk, came to Ham
mond yesterday TO let the boys take
a look at a winner.
"One thing I know, and that is
that I didn't look like a winner
when the polls closed the night Of
the primary said John. Il thought
I was beat. / went home and dis
connected the telephone and went
to bed. AS a matter of fact, 1 was
so glad the campaign was over that
1 didn't care much whether 1 was
beat or not. All I wanted was sleep.
Il don't know whether I worried
Charles Dyer or not, but he certain
ly kept me jumping sideways. I
never saw his equal as a campaign
err Day after day for two months
he worked from early morning until
late al night.
Dyer made a better showing
against me than he did against
Mack Poland six years ago because
Poland didn't do much work ana 1
have been campaigning for two
years for the clerkship. And while
I have no fear OF a recount. Dyer
ran close enough to me for com
fort and plenty close to convince
me that it was a horse race,
One of the most effective blows
Dyer delivered was his novel news
paper advertising campaign. That,
combined with his unrelenting and
persistent personal campaign in
Gary. sent me home Tuesday night
convinced that he had won. l ac
tually believed Dyer had carried
Gary by 1000
All Republicans he met in Ham
mond assured Killigrew that he
would have their support in the
fall. They attributed his success in
the primary to his four years of
capable service as county chairman
and to the fact that he was a poor
boy but a good one.

ALLEGES
MISTAKE
OR FRAUD
GaryMan Says He Was Count
ed Out When He Was
Really Winner
ESPECIAL TO THE TINEsI

CROWN POINT, Ind. May Q.
Lake county Republican politicians
were given q big surprise today
when suit to contest the nomination
of Otto G. Fiheld. candidate for
county treasurer on the Republican
ticket. was filed late yesterday aft
ernoon in the Circuit court by Win
Hunter of Gary through the law
firm of Gavit. Hall. Smith & Gavit
The complaint alleges that by a
mistake or fraud in the official
count of the votes cast for county
treasurer at the Republican pri-
mary. that Hunter was counted
out of the nomination when he was
really the winner.
The Official vote by which the
election board gave F!feld the nom
ination was as follows:
Otto Fifield. 7.476.
Win Hunter. 1908.
Hazel Groves. $50.
The board declared Fifeld to be
the winner by a majority over his
nearest opponent. Hunter. of Alb
votes.
Mr.. Hunter told a Times reporter
To-Day LndI ne DelleVeQ q recount
OF the votes would show him to be
the winner. Regarding the question
of fraud he would make no state
ment except to say that he did not
expect there would be any sur
prises in store. He said that he
did not expect to Introduce any
sensational evidence into the case.
The petition will be heard Mon
day by Judge Miles E. Norton and
in case the court grants Mr.. Hunter
recount, three commissioners will
be appointed to canvass the 21,349
votes cast for county treasurer at
the republican primary.
The work of canvassing the vote
will take approximately ten days
or two weeks. Mr.. Hunter giving
bond to cover the cost OF the re-
count in case it shows him to have
lost If, on the other hand, the re-
count returns give .ne nomination
to Hunter. the expense of the can
vass of the votes will revert to the
county.
Recounts are seldom demanded
unless the official tabulation is
much closer than it was between
Hunter and Fifeld. Many attor-
neys are of the opinion that Hunt
er must have good cause to believe
that serious mistakes were made in
the tabulating of the returns.

That was the new title be-
slowed upon the mayor of East

King" answered Mike brief
ly.
You don't mean to tell me
you have a king in East Chi
cago?"
Sure" replied Nike with
great assurance.

Mister Callahan"
They finally straightened 1t
out so Mike could be admitted.
The number of applicants for
second papers was smaller than

in order that they might vote

tested cases Of John Pora and
Andrew l<lobuchar of East Chi
cago were to be brought up.
