19 ARE TAKEN II DRY RAIDS I OVER THE CITY Federal Officers Arrest Three More Alleged Liquor Law Violators. ■With three arrests Thursday night, the total of alleged dry law violators caught in Federal raids Thursday mounted to nineteen today. Those arrested werec Dewey Stewart, 425 S. West St.; James Shrouff, 11114 N. Alabama St., and Harry Parrish, 27, 59 Jlichelieu Apts., North and East Sts. Parrish was slated on a blin4 tiger charge.

CALUMET HAS CROWING PAINS (Continued From Page 1) plan,” platoon or work-study-play system, Gary’s schools have come to occupy a position of recognized educational leadership. But in Hammond, school attendance at the end of the term last May was approximattely 9,000. When school opened in the fall, more than 10,300 students jammed the classrooms, and the appropriation for school expansion contemplated an increase of only about 500. Poo.ly constructed portables were erected haphazardly. Sanitation Problem Better sanitation is needed sorely. Dr. E. S. Jones interested the East Chicago, Hammond and Whiting city’ councils in a sanitation survey of the three cities and consulting engineers recommended installation of an intercepting sewer, diverting pollution and -waste from Lake Michigan. The chambers of commerce have undertaken an educational campaign in behalf of actual installation of the sewer. The fevork will cost the cities in the neighborhood of $5,000,000. It has progressed to the educational campaign status. Officials point out that these conditions are economically unavoidable. Citizens, they declare, cannot he taxed to build sewers and schools for prospective citizens, nor can they be called upon to provide streets and sidewalks and light them for the yet-unoccupled stretches on the south. Another growing pain is the melting in the Whiting and East Chicago pots of 121 tongues and dialects used every day. The American born have moved either to Gary’s apartments and homes or to Hammond’s homes. Native Born Predominate The county’s population is 78 per cent white-American-born, according to Secretary Dick Brusch of the Hammond Chamber\of Commerce. Gary’s tenemants fast are being torn down, relieving conditions which have existed since the city’s inception scarcely twenty years ago. Mushroom growth has caused railroads to lay tracks here, there and everywhere and, as a result, the county has 300 grade crossings, to which, apparently, no one except the Chambers of Commerce and the relatives of crash victims are paying attention. When corporations build factories, or individuals build homes, they use definite working plans. Little con(struction except the building of ‘‘lndiana’s front yard,” ever was attempted without definite plans in which the various parts of the project and their relation to each other were considered. To insure orderly growth the Chambers of Commerce in all towns except Gary are fighting for city plan commissions. Others In these cities, however, seem indifferent. WOMEN VOTERS TO MEET Fiederick J.

The National Concrete Company of Indianapolis, bridge contractors, with offices at 825 Lemcke Bldg., did not pay money "for political purposes,” Alex Holliday, secretary, said today when it became known that the United States board of tax appeals declined to deduct from the company’s gross income for tax purposes expenses aggregating $14,500. According to dispatches from Washington the appeal hoard’s decision said the money was paid to unnamed and influential persons for political reasons. The board pointed out, in its decision, that the company, from 1918 to 1920, paid persons, influential in politics, to circulate petitions so that the company might obtain construction job contracts. "We made no political moves. That was just one means of advertising,” Holliday said. E. H. Lee is company president. The main plant is at Dawson and Naomi Sts.

Bv Times Svecial WASHINGTON,- Feb. 19.—Deep bass cry for beer from several members brought an appropriate flfinuii Thursday to one of the most boisterous prohibition sessions of the House of Representatives. Representative Deal, Virginia Democrat,' started the ball rolling with a speech in which he declared that the right of American citizens were being nullified and violated in the enforcement of the Volstead Act. This provoked Representative Blanton, Texas Democrat. He demanded time to answer the attack upton prohibition and a free-for-all resulted, with wets taking every poportunity to nettle Blanton, who opened himself for the crowning retort, when he shouted: “What do these wets want?" A moment of silence followed. Then came the answer: “Beer!” Blanton commented on the resolution of Representatives Britten, Illinois Republican, for investigating the Anti-Saloon League, which he said was not an indictment of the league as Britten thought, but an Indictment of "80 per cent of the best citizens of the United States who are becking the Anti-Saloon League.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

months ago when he defied the law by manufacturing cider and wine in his own home, gleefully chided Blanton whenever opportunity was offered. "Will the rider of the great white charger deny that Milwaukee beer is intoxicating?” Blanton asked Hill. "Yes, I deny It,” he answered. “When did you even taste this beer?” Evading the question, Blanton said he could take Hill to Baltimore and get him beer that would make him so drunk “that you won’t know you have ever been in office.” "How do you know?” interjected Representative Laguardia, New York independent. "Well, a Democrat from Baltimore told me there were fifty saloons running wild in Baltimore," Blanton shot back. "I wouldn’t be surprised," Representative Llnthicum, Maryland, Democrat, put In. "That’s the result of the Volstead law^” AUTO HURTS FATAL BV United Press SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Feb. 19.
