LAKE COUNTY MEN LOSERS

Hammond, June 29.^—-Nearly 7W saloon men in the Calumet district of Lake county are heavy Sosers financially by the Indiana supreme court decision upholding the prohibition law. Most of these saloon men have continued to pay rentals on buildings, expecting a reversal of the legislative act. and they now find these leases worthless and then fixtures practically a dead toss on their hands. The situation is peculiar in this city. In West Hammond, fflinois, an imaginary line, hundreds of saloons are doing a thriving business. The situation is the same at Btarhham. Police courts on the Indiana side, records show, have had a large number of cases off drnnket?hebs since the law went into effect.
