GOV. ORDERS PROBE

Notifies Lake County Prosecutor of Complaints About Cedar Lake Resorts. C. E. Greenwald, prosecuting attorney of Lake county, has been instructed by Governor Marshall that complaint has been received at the Governor’s office of illegal sales of liquor at Cedar Lake, a summer resort in that county, and has been directed by the Governor to see that the violations, if as reported, are stopped. The complaint was filed by Guy Surprise and C. B. Coffin, who set out data concerning twelve purchases of liquor by themselves, on Sundays, in saloons and roadhouses in the vicinity of the resort. Places mentioned in -the complaint as having violated the law are Sigler’s restaurant, Sigler’s hotel, Mitch & Webber, Cedar Point Clubhouse, Ray’s roadhouse, White’s saloon, J Hetzler’s saloon, W. W. Stilson s saloon, Burke’s resort, Henry Clark’s saloon, and Lassen’s pavilion. The complainants say that at Lassen’s pavilion, on July 17, they saw girls fifteen years old drinking intoxicants at tables with older persons. A number of boys were there, too, they reported. In the closing paragraph the complainants say: “These saloon keepers feel that they have nothing to fear and are running in flagrant violation of our laws. From the results in former cases, we feel an appeal to the state’s attorney is useless. We, with many others, brought conditions to your attention last year, but we have failed to see where it did any good. The legislature has been in session in the meantime and we are calling this to your attention again, trusting that you will be able to remedy matters this time.” On leaving to be absent |a month, the Governor instructed Burt New-, his legal clerk, to attend promptly and carefully to all reports of law violations, chiefly as concerns racetrack gambling in the state. The Governor expects when the county fairs open that pool selling will be attempted in various counties.—lndianapolis News.

Smart society at Newport is interested in the opening of Marble House by Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, for it is believed that this fact indicates the Dnchess of Marlborough is likely to come over with her two sons to visit her mother .for part of the season. Mrs. Belmont has not occupied this pajace for a number of seasons, and that she should do so now is a matter of gratification to members of the smart set, who hope that she may entertain as of old. Even if her daughter does not come to America Mrs. Belmont has her son Harold with her and may give something for him. Her entertainments are never dull, and, although she is so active a suffragist and for some time has given most of her attention to the movement, she is still as secure in social leadership as ever.
