CEDAR LAKE IS RAIDED

“FREE AND EASY RESORT” IS RAIDED BY SHERIFF AND HIS DEPLETES. What is probably the first steps to clean up Cedar Lake was started late Thursday evening, when Sheriff Barnes, of Lake county, and his deputies swooped down on the several resorts at Cedar Lake and raided the several places there by confiscating a dozen or more slot machines and arresting three girls, one being taken from the place of Robert Russell and two from the resort of Beck Moriarity at the “corners.” The raid was planned by Sheriff Barnes, who went to the places of Jimmy Leathers, Bob Russell, John Kennedy, George Hetzler and Lassen Bros., where he found a number of slot machines in each place which were taken in custody and in the places of Russell and Moriarity three girls were also taken. The owners of the resorts together with the female inmates, were taken to Crown Point late in the evening and warrants were sworn out by the prosecutor and the defendants all entered pleas of guilty. Leather, Russell, Kennedy, Moriarity, Hetzler and Lassen were chargd with running gambling places and fined $37.50 each and the fines and costs to each girl amounted to a little over SSO. Much complaint has been registered by the law abiding people of that section of the state with the sheriff of Lake county_ concerning the conditiojis this season at the lake, and the read is Believed to he the beginning of the bed of Cedar Lake as a rendezvous for the spirting element. It is understood shat the Lake county sheriff also gave warning to the resort keepers to hew eJose to the line .hereafter or more arrests will follow. There seems to be a general demand all along the line to tighten on the clamps at Cedar Lake and the raid Thursday night will probably have a tendency to clarify conditions.

National Red Cross War Fund Chairman Thanks Jasper Co.

Mr. Charles G. Spitler, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Mr. Spitler: —— At the close of the wonderfully successful campaign for the Red Cross War Fund I intended, in behalf of the war council, to send you and your associates a telegram of thanks and congratulation for your splendidly effective work. On reflection, however, I decided in view of the nation wide extent of our organization that it would be more economical, and equally satisfactory, to write to you instead of telegraphing. We of the War Council are deeply grateful to you, to your colleagues, to the devoted men and women of local Red Cross Chapters and auxiliaries, and to every element and individual in your community who aided by service and contribution. There is no method by which we can reach the legion of individuals, organizations, churches, newspapers, societies, banks, companies and firms whose united effort has provided this great fund for humanity, and if through your press and by other means you can make public expression of our gratitude we shall deeply appreciate the courtesy. Their joint accomplishment has stirred the pride of every American. I wish to add my personal thanks to you, and through you, to all who contributed to the splendid result. Very sincerely yours, H. P. DAVISON, Chairman Red Cross War Council.

BONE DRY RIDER LOSES

BONE DRY BILL DEFEATED 52 TO 34—WHISKEY HANDED JOLT—BEER ESCAPES. i Washington, July 6.—At the close of a day of turbulent debate, and after voting 52 to 34 against the socalled “bone dry” amendment, the senate tonight recessed until tomorrow in the midst of the prohibition fight on the food control bill. Defeat of the “bone dry” prohibition proposal insures that legislation prohibiting the manufacture of intoxicants will be limited to distilled beverages. Whether consumption as well as manufacture of distilled spirits shall cease during the war, a new element injected into the contest at the eleventh hour, completely disrupted leaders’ well laid plans and caused the recess for conference on a compromise. After roll calls showing a consid r erable majority against stopping manufacture of beer and wines or giving the president power to suspend their manufacture, the senate voted 68 to 10 to prohibit the importation of distilled beverages and then, by a vote of 45 to 40, tentatively adopted a provision prohibiting withdrawal of distilled spirits now held in bond for beverage purposes.

Both provisions though voted on separately, are contained in an amendment by Senator Cummins, added to the so-called “administration compromise” substitute of Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, prohibiting only manufacture of distilled beverages. The substitute was offered for the clause as drafted by the agriculture committee, which would place the question of beer and wine manufacture in the hands of the president. Many senators who had planned to vote for the Robinson substitute expressed their disapproval of the Cummins amendment, which they declared proposed virtual confiscation of 220,00.0,000 gallons of distilled beverage in bond without conserving any grain. They pointed out that the government would lose next year between $250,000,000 and $300,000,000 in taxes and asserted that banks with loans upon distilled spirits might be put out of business.

The prohibition forces, however, were openly elated over the possibility of stpoping consumption as well as manufacture of whiskey and other “hard” beverages. Tomorrow 'the fight will center on an effort to eliminate the Cummins amendment upon reconsideration or by compromise. Pending when the senate recessed tonight was a proposed compromise amendment by Senator Reed which would authorize the president to permit withdrawal of distilled spirits from the bonded warehouses if he believes it is in the public interest. Upon disposition of the prohibition section the senate leaders expect to reach an agreement for a final vote upon the food bill as a whole next Wednesday or Thursday. The senate spent the entire day in fervent oratory, and roll calls on numerous proposals. Friends of prohibition used most of the time in debate, field under the agreement limiting each senator’s time, in a vain effort to secure a “bone dry” provision. Both of the Indiana senators voted against the “bone dry” amendment offered by Senator Myers, of Montana, providing for the prohibition of beer and wines. At a roll call on the amendment offered by Senator Cummins which provided that “no alcoholized beverages shall be imported into the United States during the existing war,” both of the Indiana senators voted “no.” On the amendment offered by Senator Cummings providing that “no part of the distilled spirits now in bond in the United States shall be withdrawn during the war to be used as a beverage,” both of the Indiana senators voted in the affirmaitve.

Mexico With Allies; Tells Kaiser to Go to Hell.

El Paso, Texas, July 5. —Since the pro-ally campaign in Mexico was first 1 started by El Universal in Mexico City, the sentiment favoring the allies has reached northern Mexico and during the past thirty days a well defined movement favoring an open break with Germany and the alignment of Mexico on the side of the entente allies has developed. This has been in spite of the pro-German sentiments published daily in __Chihuahua City papers, and in other papers believed to be subsidized by the Germans in the north. A reflection of this sentiment was seen recently in the statement by General Gonzales, acting commander in chief of the northeastern military zone. He was overcharged by the German firm of Ketelsen & Degatau for some padlocks. The manager was arrested and placed in the penitentiary. The German consul made a demand for his release “in the name of the imperial German government and the kaiser,” according to a Mexican official who was present at the time. “Tell the German consul he, the imperial government and the kaiser may all go to hell,” General Gonzales answered. s

Monon News. Dr. Clayton and Ed L. Smith attended the Hereford cattle sate of ' H. O. Harris & Sons at Harris, Mo., last week and witnessed the sale at auction of over" $ 500,000 worth of cattle within seven hours. The highest priced animal was $27,000 and bid off by a Mr. Pickering, of Kansas City, who also paid SIO,OOO for a cow. It is proper to explain here that Dr. Clayton was next to the highest bidden because he sat next to Mr. Pickering when he made the high bid. A Mr. Marshall, of Los Angeles, Cal., paid $20,000 for the next highest animal. Col. Fred Reppert, of Decatur, Ind., was the lone auctioneer who cried this mammoth sale. The Indiana buyers at this sale were Frank Cox, of Indianapolis, who recently bought several Herefords of E. L. Smith, and Warren T. McCray, of Kentland.

Emergency Rations.

Washington, July s.—Not the least important part of a fighting man’s equipment to be used by the U. S. Marines on the firing line, is the emergency ration. It will enable the sea-soldier to stick to his guns and keep up his physical strength when cut off from the base of supplies by the enemy barrage or other causes. Every marine on expeditionary duty is supplied with a half-pound tin case containing a two days’ supply of food, consisting of chocolate and a condensed meat and vegetable compound that may be made into soup, or eaten raw if there is no opportunity to prepare it.
