Billy Blodgett. of the Indianapolis News, Is again loitering around Lake county doing his perennial etunt of following up the trail blazed by his more gwak brother newspaper men. Billy's stories are of the old army bis cult variety and could be signed "Methusalah" as well as not, as far as their originality Is concerned. The eminent Billy continues to muss around the dirt piles that his brother reporters have taken pay dirt from, but It's all the tame to Billy. Blodgett goes on the theory that if you uncover the dirt pile every now and then that the public will think you have discovered and dug a new hole. Crown Point baseball fans are again "'getting the bug" and rolling thejr eyes Erie stationward, where the sound of the hickory stick Is heard during the summer. and the little grpups of "'fanites' standing . around on the corners aren't discussing the possible war with Mexico or contemplating joining the army, but are simply discussing Crown Point's chances of landing the pennant next fall.

It . la no longer necessary to spend tnnths,and months undergoing a complicated treatment for rheumatism, kidney or bladder trouble, or spend a good many dollars In doctors' bills. A now treatment can now be obtained which sfem to act more like a marvel than a medicine. This treatment haa produced such satisfactory results in a ebert time that It Is now guaranteed from first to last. There should be no more doubt about the rapid cure of rheumatism, no fears of the fatal termination of treacherous kidney disease or dropsy. Rheumatism, means nothing more nor less than that your kidneys do not work properly. Your blood passes through the kidneys hundreds of times a day to be filtered and purified. When the kidneys are weak, the poisons are. not taken out of the blood as they should be. This leads to various diseases, such as rheumatism, terrible Brlght's disease, diabetes, dropsy and bladder trouble. The new guaranteed treatment Is Er. Derby's Kidney Pills. One day's use of them will prove their remarkahle effect. M. T. Ridenour of Lima. Ohio, says: "When I feel bad in my back. I jnst take a couple of Derby's Kidney Pills and get Immediate relief." If you have rheumatism .anywhere, back pains, cloudy, foul urine, pains in the bladder, Bright's disease or diabetes, put your whole confidence tn Dr. Derby's, Kidney Pills, and you will not be disappointed. Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills are sold at all drug stores 25 and 50 cents, or we will send them direct from the laboratorv of Derby Medicine Co.. Eaton Rapids. Mich., prepaid If you wish.

GARY COUNCIL TRIES TO OUST RESORTS FROM "PATCH"

The Gary council flew off the tang-1 ent and was thrown Into a state of excitement last night when Alderman Mike Walsh of the third ward threw a bomb Into the session in the way of a resolution to "abolish all houses of HI fame in the patch." For a few minutes the council was In an uproar and before any one could get a word in edgewise there were five motions to adjourn made. Alderman Feuer making the most noise for an adjournment. But there was no adjournment. Knott Aaka Pertinent Question. "If you put 'them out of the patch where do you want to put them," asked Mayor Knotts during the exciting period. The council finally got Its bearings upon Alderman Castleman s motion that the "council go into a committee of the whole to discuss this here." "We can't recognize it as a legal fact." protested Aldrman Feuer. So into the mayor's office the alder men flledfo discuss the advisability of getting rid or tne dives in tne 'patc,n. In the meantime Mayor Knotts left his chair to go into another room and when the council came out of the star chamber Alderman Castleman seized RED HOT STOVE MIES (Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, March 14. The sight of a couple of firemen bearing between them a red hot stove which they threw out of the door of a house at 491S Bar ing avenue, furnished diversion to spectators who watched the progress of a blaze Sunday morning. The stove which had become overheated, was responsible for the fire and with it removed, the firemen were not slow to extinguish the blaze which was confined to the kitchen of the establishment. The fire broke out at about 9:30 O'clock Sunday morning. The house is owned by Frank Trzezinski and is occupied by a family named Goldstein hucksters, who conduct a grocery in their establishment. The proximity of some banana cases to me overheated stove caused the latter to take fire and this started the blaze. The firemen understood the call to have come from One undred and Fortyfifth street and Baring avenue, and made a trip to this corner first, 'but finding no fire there Chief flack noticing a crowd down the street, instructed the driver to head for the spot. Thii was done with the result that Ut a few minutes the scene of the blaze was located In the Goldstein house. The fire was extinguished with a slight loss to the building, probably not to exceed $100, while the contents aside from the stove which was broken in the fal. was unharmed. The loss was fully covered by insurance there being $2,000- insurance on the house and 800 on the contents. SO. SHORE WIRE SEVERED TODAY (Continued from Page One.) light and heRt for the company's cars had been severed in , twain. INVESTIGATION BBGl.V Upon discovering mat vneir wires were out of commission betwen Gary and Eapt Chicago the company officials at once began to make an investiga tion; and it was found that the service wire had been cut at Cairk road. AtConservation of the Teeth might welll be made a political issue. Are the teeth not a national resource ? The health of the nation depend! upon the care of its teeth. Uncle Sam won't allow an enlistment in the Army or Navy until the teeth have been favorably passed upon, and, incidentally, Uncle Sam knows a good dentifrice. Ask any one in the Army and Navy about SOZODONT and profit by his answer. is wonderfully pure and sure ; a mouth antiseptic ; a deodorizer of delightful fragrance ; a tonic for the teeth and gums ; cleanses and preserves diem and, being alkaline, assists materially in arresting decay by neutralizing the acids of the mouth.

Once more Walsh made his motion with Gibson seconding It. "Its Out of Order. "It's out of order," ruled acting Mayor Castleman, after he had been addressed as mayor by Walsh. "But I will entertain & motion that we have a conference on it." Thereupon ,Walsh made a motion that the mayor and council meet "some day" to discuss the patch and Its troubles. "I would amend that so as to read Saturday night, 'some day' is not specific enough," declared Alderman Bowser. Never On Saturday Night. "No," answered Mayor Castleman as he shifted the quid of tobacco from the right side to the left side, "Saturday night is too busy a night," and in this he was agreed in by the five other aldermen who run saloons and as Mayor Castleman's saloon Is but a week old It needs all of the Saturday night care it can get. Finally it was agreed that the troubles will be aired on Friday night. It Is thought that Alderman Walsh does not relish the proximity of the dives to his saloon in the Schlitz block. torney Lewis Meyer, attorney for' the Chicago, Lake Shore and soufh Bend road was notified th!spornlng and he Is on his way. to Gary where It is said that injunction proceedings may be started against the city. When asked this morning if the wires had been cut, owing to last night's roceedings of the city council. Mayor Knotts stated that he had been inform ed that they were down, but said he did not know who had severed them. Chief of Police Martin also knew nothlffg about the cutting of the wires and absolute secrecy-of the person or per sons who put in effect the order of the city council is being maintained. - EEGEWISCH.

MAYOR IN DENIAL OF CHARGES (Continued from Page One.)

However., I am hot writing a biography of Charles Grenwald and Ralph Ross, but will tell what has happened uphere. And In another dispatch I shall relate in a simple, artless way, as Attorney-General Honan would say, how it was that the franchise referen dum was defeated in the late leglslature. j Charge In the Indictment. The grand - Jury, a few weeks ago, returned indictments against Mayor Schlieker, Chief of Police Lewis. Julius Friedman, a , liquor . dealer; Warren Sheetz, a gambler, and Hyman Hyams, also a gambler, charging them with conspiracy, to defraud the city. The The mayor" is charged in another indictment with signing fraudulent paprs, Friedman is also Indicted as on the owners of a gambling game. These five are charged in one conpiracy indictment with collecting graft money from gamblers and others. Walter Spencer, the city clerk. Is nder indictment charged with issuing raudulent papers. . He is accused of ccepting padded pay rolls. It is unerstood that former stret commlsioner William Harding Is indicted on charge of defrauding the city by padded. pay rolls, but he is out of the tate and has not vet been arrested. I'nw of Mayor Schlieker. There has been a great deal said bout Mayor Schlieker in connection with the shake-down of the gamblers, and I believe that a great deal of it is unjust. No witness before the grand Jury, as " I am told here, and no one with whom I talked, has been able to race any of the gamblers' money to Mayor Schlieker and about the only thing in that line are circumstances that I believe the mayor will be able o explain away. It should be understood that for yearf the atmosphere of East Chicago has been heavy with rumors of graft. There are about two hundred saloons here, and as a place where gambling was carried on openly the city has record of a quarter of a century. It was only recently that these rumors became : acute, and there were open charges about town that some of the members of the city administration were getting a rakebff. It got so that when anything came up the common street report was "see Julius." Julius Friedman, understand, is Mayor Schlieker' nearest and dearest friend, and has more influence with the city administration than any fifty men In Kast Chicago. As one of the witnesses testified under oath, "Julius Friedman is the mayor, chief of police and the whole works." Mr. Friedman in the goodness of his heart, presented the mayor and other city officers with sealskin caps, and some of the "kickers." as they are styled here, tried to maxe something covert out of the goodness of the heart of Julius. "Have you got a fur cap?" would be the salutation of one man with a wink "No, I haven't seen Julius," the other would renly -with another wink. Little things like this kept growing until complaint was made to the coun ty authorities that there was wide open gambling .in East Chicago, and thai i was there with the permission of the mayor and his adriitiistratlve officers. Prosecutor Greenwald wrote a letter to Chief of Police Lewis telling him that gambling must cease lit East Chicago, iu'rlfte for the Gambler. When " the gamblers heard about the letter they thought Grenwald was pul ing off something new In the comedy line, and paid no attention. And then came .the grand jury to ascertain who it was that was prying th money loose from the eamblers for protection The story, as outlined under oath was that whenever a chap with sport ing blood in his veins wished to open up a game, 01 to violate the liquo laws, they were told to see Julius Fried man. And Julius,, so tne story wen under oath, would tell them to see Warren Sheetz or Hyman Hyams, two men who kept the Metropole saloon in Indiana Harbo-, attached to which was the most elaborately equipped gambling house In Indiana. The story told was that the sched ule rates were $30 a month for operat ing a poker game, a combination o low To Surely Get Rid of Rheumatism Phenomenal Results Of Positive Antidote To Uric Acid. The first dope or two of the positive antidote found for uric acid, gives immediate relief In all forms of rheumatism, gout, lumbago and kidney trouble, and quickly brings on a cure. Every man and woman who has already tried it knows that this statement is true. This antidote, called the "Fuss" Rheumatism Cure, has already cured over 1.0Q cases of rheumatism. As an illustration It cured Mrs. Mary E. Thorn of Owosso, Mich.; 87 years old, of a 14-vear case of rheumatism in 3 days. It cured Enos Klngsley, the well-known ladies tailor of Flint. Mich., of an excruciating case inside of a week. And many other cases have - proven that it Is the world's cure for rheumatism. The .

An Instance of Friedman's power was related under oath. A gambler who was down and" out asked the chief of police for permission to run a game. The chief, according the testimony. said the gambler had bad reputation, and a good many knocks were coming In against him. The gambler pleaded so hard that finally the chief., so it was sworn to, said he would see about it that if the chief did not know about a game there would be no interference. A short time after that Friedman call ed the gambler by telephone. There is nothing doing," Friedman 8 said to have- remarked. "But the chief said I could open up " protested the gambler. Oh, he was just kidding you." came back the answer over the telephone. "I tell .you there Is nothing doing." And the ' testlnxriry was that the game, did not start. The indictment, against Sheetz and Hyams is that they collected the pro tection money and because several wit nesses .testified that Friedman had said frequently that he was interested in the Metropole game he was also in dicted as one of the owners. This, in substance is the , "shake down" story as told in the grand Jury room '.""It is impossible to get the details of the evidence against City Clerk Spencer, but one of the charges is for acknowledging fraudulent claims, i for signing . claims he never saw'5 and tot overlooking padded pay rolls, but there Is no charge that Spencer padded the pay 'rolls himself. He seems to be a victim of circumstances. , For . Instance: Mayor Schlieker is president of the Lake County Ice and "old ' Storage Company. The pay roll of the city showed 'that two of the teams of that company worked for the city, and they were paid out of city funds. But the drivers testified that they had done no cltywork: There ara several instances of a similar nature. Former Street Commlaaloner Accused. William Harding, who is now in South Dakota, was street commissioner and pwned a coal yard. The charge Is that , he sold coal to the city at higher prices 'than the contract called for, that he used city teams to do private work for corporations, that he did a number of other things that a street commissioner should not do under the law and hold his job. Mayor SchllekVr does not sem to be worried about the indictments, but does show considerable annoyance. "The only thing I dislike about tha whole affair," sajd the mayor, bitirg through a cigar with considerable emphasis,. "Is the stigma It cast on our city. Personally I do not care. I have lived here twenty-one years and my friends " know that the (charges made against me are not true. I do not care whether my enemies believe it or not. I shall ask for a speedy trial and. I have not the slightest doubt that I win come clean. I have not done a thing as mayor of this city of which I am ashamed, or for which I can be justly criticised" "How did this thing start what Is the i origin of .it all,' the mayor was '"It had its origin in politics." replied forni SIniHTlr'r 'Vaii nnrlAref anrl X had a hard fight for the nomination. Indiana Harbor, though a part of East ; o ,it,, n: against the rest of the city, and partlcuarly this part of it, and there was a very strong opposition to me in tha Harbor. We have a Hebrew vote of about seventy-five and these Hebrews are among our best citizens. This Hebrew vote all stood for me and It had more to do with nominating and electing tne than any other element. After the election a delegation of Hebrews came to me and demanded four appointments on the ground tha as they had elected m they had a right to dictate my appointments. Now, I am not a man to be driven, even though I try to please every en wno should be pleased. I made twd appointments a, the suggestion of this committee, but I did not think the names offered for the other two places were the proper ones, and I declined to make the appointments. The result is that two ut my Hebrew friends got angry at me and they have been the cause of all the trouble telling these stories, and the stories - grew in the telling until an agitation started that ended in the grand jury indictments. And I am sat. isfied that neither my Hebrew friends who started this agitation nor the wit nesses before the grand jury can pro duce one iou of testimony to show whereby I . have violated the law in' any way." "The common report Is that Julius Friedman was your g-o-between that every one was sent to him and that he did the work for you. " "That is just as far from the truth as th other stories," replied the mayor. Mr. Friadman is my rrlenrt. I was th nhvslclan of his father's familv and tN am his physician, and we are close as soclates. But I never asked him to do anything wrong and he never did anything wrong. However, I think he Is in a measure a good deal responsible for these stories himself. Julius a great kidder. He will bawl any one out. Before the election the fellows over in Indiana Harbor used to tell him what they would do to us after I was defeated, and when I was elected Julius kidded right back at them and told them that now we were In power and they would have to come across, and I suppose from that the rumors started." "Then df Julius evr suggested that

He is no go-between and he has never collected any money and I have never received any from the gamblers." No Price Schedule, Be Says. "As to the report that there was a schedule of prices for protecting gambling games?" "That is just as absurd as the ether stories " said the mayor. "And there was- no charge made for allowing resorts to live in East Chicago?" ; "There are no resorts here, and there has been none for years." "And your chief of police never ac cepted any money from the gamblers?" "Not one penny. When I became mayor I drove all the professional gamblers away. I would not have them around here. Sam Cohen, who keeps saloon down there on the corner. came to me for permission to- open . gambling house. I told him that I would not permit anything of the kind. I said to him that If he and a few friends wished to have a game of cards in His back room it was all right with me. but I would not stand : for professional gambling. Say Cohen la an Antator. "Cohen asked me if I did not think he was entitled to something because of what he had done for me In the election, and I replied that he was, but that I would not repay him by making a bertha for a gambler. Then he went to Chief Lewis and offered 'him $50 a month for the privilege of running' a game, and the chief, threw him out. Now Sam is one of the agitators and he is responsible for many of the graft stories you hear." ' "What about Harding, street commissioner?" the former 'Well, it may be possible that tjiey jean have a technical case on Harding, but I do not think so. When Harding was appointed street commissioner he sold his coal yard and the record! of the sale was placed on file at Crown Point." ' - "To who id he sell tV . Will Trace the C harges. "To his brother'ln-law, but It was a bona "fide sale. I guess he did buy boat fer the city from his brother-ih-law. But he never used the city teams lor private purposes or did anyt ling illegal. He never padded the pay roll, either. But there was so much fuss made about him that he resigned and got a job In South Dakota, bt he ,1s coming back and will face his iccuisers. The "same thing is true of Cify Clerk Spencer he has never comm'itted ' a wrongful or illegal act, and lie will show that to be true when he!;goes to trial. The sum and substance jif"'t all is," continued .the mayor, ahoing for the first time considerable feeling, "that my enemies, especially at Indiana Harbor, are responsible for all 1 thl trouble and they have not the least thing on which honestly to base their charges." , . "Weill didn't you know there was! gambling game at the Metropole salopn in Indiana Harbor?" . -, , I "A councilman told me there was. , 1 sent the chief over there and told him T jop "? ame U was,.fo,n "" He found there was gambling' ana w I sop ,t" An(l as far as I know it it ?pea " ',, , Mayor Schlieker, in his interview for all ' the mem bers of his administration and for hii friend, Julius Friedman.
