($y Leased Wire to The -.mes) Chicago, Jan. 4 Preparing for a finish fight, not only with Governor Marshall, of Indiana, but with Chief Steward, of Chicago, as well, Mont Tennes, and Tom McGinnis, old time foes, have : completely buried the hatchet and today joined forces in a fight to resist interference with gambling. Troops may be called out in the great gambling war that is imminent. Governor Marshall, commenting on a report that emissaries of the gam blers would call upon him "to show up" gambling in Indiana, said today that he would welcome them and that he would cause prosecutions to be instituted by the state authori ties if any "tangible" evidence should bo submitted to him by such emissaries. It is understood at Indianapolis that the exposures planned by the Chicago gamblers have to do with In dianapolis, West, Baden and French Lick Springs. The governor has re tained S. T. Bach, of Hammond, to represent, him in the matter of the attempt to' conduct a pool room at Clark Station, Ind. Two hundred bookmakers have been employed to make a monster book in the loop district, and if they are driven out of Clark Station by Governor Marshall, Tennes and Mc Ginnis propose to defy Chief Steward and conduct their operations in Chi cago. "Bud'' White declares that the wireless apparatus to be operated at Clark Station has been ordered from New York and will in all probability be erected before Friday of this week. The gamblers hope to open the big pool room for business on Friday. Governor Marshall declared in re ply that he would destroy the appa ratus if it is erected, and that he would not permit any pool room, wireless or otherwise, to be conduct ed in Indiana. i "If the wireless apparatus is erect ed," he said, "I will tear it down and hold it as evidence. If necessary, I propose, to call out state troops, as well as Sheriff Grant, of Lake coun ty, and will Confiscate the Whole bus iness." " Heavy Snow For Luke Region. (By Leased Wire to The Times.)

(By Leased Wire to The Time&X Washington, Jan. 4 The adminis tration's ship-subsidy bill', the one that will undoubtedly be adopted by congress, was introduced today by Representative Humphrey, of Wash ington.

A preamble to the resolution States that during the last 12 months the price of commodities has increased from 11 to 30 per cent. ;that increase, in wages has not kept pace with this increase and that millions of people in the , United States are finding It impossible to buy food and clothing consistent with their urgent needs because of these high prices, The resolution calls attention to charges that the recent tariff leglsla tion has operated as a strong price raising factor; that there is an ab sence of competition ;that the Ameri can Sugar Company is selling sugar at 2 cents per popnd more in the United States than In foreign coun tries; that the price of cotton and of woolen goods has been arbitrarily in creased; that the price of meat has been raised by the meat trust enough to enable Armour & Co. to make a net profit of more- than 35 per cent, on its capital stock in one year; and that the prices of most of the neces saries of life on which protective du ties have been raised are above the world's level of prices. The resolution authorizes the ap pointment of the committee consist ing of seven members of the house and five members of the senate "to investigate and ascertain particularly what effect the trusts and combines, the increased volume of money, the increased population, the increased demands, the supply and the Issuance of government bonds increasing the public debt lias each, or all, had upon prices, and also to investigate , the ex tent, if auy, to which exjsyng tariff rates have in any other way affected the prices of articles of prime neces sity by suppressing or materially In terfering with competition."
