FIGHT BETWEEH WETS'

AND 'ORYS KEEPS UP Gary Saloonkeepers Retain Three Additional Counsel to Help. Despite the big convention that was on in Gary today, the saloons and brew ery interests took up the fight that was nearer nome me saving or their sa loons against the remonstrance that the "drys" of Calumet township havt put through and yesterday filed In th office of the county auditor, oendinc the meeting of the commissioners next Monday. The remonstrance contains 22! names, or 68 more than Is required by law. There Is still hope, that tht remonstrance can be successfully combatted by next Monday and already th saloon interests are meeting with somi success in getting withdrawals. The saloonkeepers' asociatlon' at tcrney, M. E. Gallion, has been working all day yesterday and last night in con Terences with the saloonkeepers ant the brewery interests from Chicago Additional lawyers have been retained some of them being A. F. Knotts, ex mayor of Hammond; Manlove and Car ver. and McCracken. and Fitzgerald. "Putting the saloons out of buslnes: In Gary," said Attorney Gallion to Tip. Times today, "means that millions o dollars worth of property will be in volved." The licenses of the 110 saloons ne annually $11,000 to the city Of Gar: alone, not including the county li censes which accrue therefrom. This however, is not the severest blow tGary, it is pointed out. It is the prop erty holders that will suffer most whei the saloons are closed. The saloon interests are satisfied tha they have a friend in Mayor T. E Knotts of Gary, and also of other larg interests which are located in Gar? but not directly affiliated with the 6a loons or breweries. "The advantage that has been taker by the 'drys' in this matter," said prominent Garyite this morning, "i. an unfair one, when it comes to equltj in law, and I think that if the 'drys carry their point next JVionaay mai they will be defeated in the hlghej courts. While they followed the law according to the letter, they did no follow the spirit of it, and if this mat ter were put to a vote, the saloon,' would win out, and in this country tin will of the majority is supposed t count whether there is a law on th( books or not."
