SIX MENHAVE ROW

Two Are Shot at Gary in

Strife Following Collection of a Washing Bill.

Gary Lawyers Believe That They Have Business Enough To Keep Things Going.

"All aboard for Denver," is the slo

gan of the eighth ward democrats who

will leave South Chicago Saturday af

ternoon to attend the Denver convention. AH arrangements have been made

and everything is in readiness to take care of the local crowd.

At 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon the

eighth ward democrats will Journey to

tho Illinois Central road, where a spe

cial observation and Pullman sleeper

will be waiting for them. Upon their arrival down town the coaches will be switched to the main depot of the Illinois Central road and connected to the rear of a special train that ill leave for Omaha, Neb. Upon the arrival in Omaha the cars will be placed on one of the Union Pacific's flyers, which will bring the South Chicapoans into the convention city early Monday morning. The South Chicago delegation will number about twenty-five and include the most prominent political leaders in the ward. The Illinois Central road, through tho courtesy of their local representative, Mr. Storms, have arranged everything possible to make the local aggregation feci at home while on the trip. As the special will arrive In Denver the day preceding the convention numerous side trips have been arranged, which will include a trip to Pike's Peak, Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, Cripple Creek and other points of interest that are in close proximity to the Colorado city. Gilbert Morgan, the delegate from the second congressional district, left Tuesday for Denver and will be on hand to welcome his fellow ward demorats upon their arrival.

Mr. Morgan's brother, who is state's

attorney of tho convention district.

will attend the convention and will be

of no little assistance in showing the local visitors through the city. A large crowd of enthusiastic citiens are expected to be at the Illinois Central depot Saturday afternoon to give the democrats a good send-off.

The democrats, that is those who are married, will take their wives with them to the convention.

At the nrxt session of the Indiana ntnte legislature, that body will be asked to provide for a superior court

for tiary. The necessity of a court here has been apparent for some time, and now the attorneys In this city are determined to get It. It Is expected that the bar association will take the matter up at their next meeting and a permanent committee will be appointed

to take charge of this matter and push

Gary's claim to a superior court.

Inconvenient at Hnmmond. It has been apparent for some time that something would have to be done to relieve the congested condition of tho court at Hammond. The Gary attorneys have been compelled to lose several days some times In order to try cases at Hammond when it should have only been necessary to lose but a few hours. They are compelled, they say to go over to Hammond, when the day

is set for their cases and wait until !

they reach their cases. Sometimes they do not come up at all, and at least half a day is lost. Says He Lost Four Days. One prominent attorney In Gary stated yesterday, that in one instance a few days ago he lost four days on a case for which he received only $25. This he said was due to the fact that it was imossible to tell when his case would come up for trial. The congested condition of the docket also is a great disadvantage to them in disposing of their cases. The Gary attorneys believe that although there probably is not enough cases at present to support a court In Gary but by the time the legislation could be secured and the building erected, that they could keep a court busy without any difficulty.

This fact has caused some Remarkable Concessions in prices on our most seasonable merchandise, so! that you can make every possible preparation to enjoy the Glorious Fourth.

The spirit of murder is still abroad la the town of Gary and yesterday another killing was narrowly averted when several Greeks became Involved In a desperate tight for a revolver, 'which finally was discharged and

wounded two men. This time all of the participants were placed under arrest and will now have to answer to the community for their conduct. The two men who were wounded are Jim Kolan, who had his finger grazed with a bullet, and Nick Contes, who had a finger shot off from his left hand. The trouble arose over the effort of Contes to collect some money for washing his wife had done. He got into a quarrel with Xick Dracopla;-,

Theodore Tsalias, George Horwart and Jim Kolan. He understood that these men intended to give him a bt-ating the next time they saw him and so lie armed himself with a revolver. Yesterday at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon he met the whole crowd and the trouble was started again. Revolver Is Badly AVanted. Jim Kolan, the leader of the crowd, started for Contes when the latter drew a revolver, and, pointing it at his assailants, was about to fire when Kolan sprang forward and grasped the revolver with his right hand. The two men then wrestled with

each other in an effort to secure possession of the revolver. Each knew that if the other got it he would be shot, so they fought for their lives. In the melee the revolver was discharged and t lie bullet passed through the hand of Contes and shot eft his finger, while it made a scratch wound on one of the fingers of Kolan's hand. In the meantime the police were attracted to the scene by the fight and Officers Xestorovich and Muleahey arrested the whole crowd. The mn were all taken to the police station, where they will be held 0:1 a charge Of rioting.

row. Attorney . H. Gipe and C. D. Jories. The secretary of the order received applications from three other Gary citizens w'.V) expressed their desire to become members of the order.

STARTS NEW CLEANING SYSTEM,

Street Commissioner John Kuhlman

lias inaugurated a new street cleaning

system. Two men are on the Job, continually

now going over the brick streets, thus

kee-ng Hohnian and States streets and

llirnbach avenue clean of the most dirt

'r,ce every week the street sweepe'r will go over the streets for a thorough cleaning up. The street car sprinkler has been going up and down ITuhman street regularly today and helped much to allay the. dust which would have been stirred bv the wind.

Undertaker James K. I Brown, 9037 Commercial avenue, yesterday afternoon exonerated himself of all connection in the skeleton mystery that is proving such a puzzle to the South Chicago and down town police.

Brown, in company with A. Lewis, a liveryman, yesterday afternoon went

down town to the office of Dr. M. O. Heckard of the health department.

here Lewis testified that he remembered when one of his drivers took the body of Delaney to the county morgue In 1903. This statement by Lewis practically vindicated Brown and his

license will not be revoked. Although Brown has vindicated himself of all blame in the matter, the skeleton mystery still remains and is no nearer solution that it was several days ago. Tho down town police are still firm in their belief that it is that of Delaney, as all data tallies exactly. Speaking of the matter yesterday Mr. Brown said: "Say for me that I have been entirely blameless in the matter from beginning to end and I am firm In my belief that my name was brought into the case as the result of a conspiracy formed to injure

my business. 1 am giaa tne case is over, as far as I am concerned, because it has caused me to make all

kinds of explanations to my friends.'

Brown says that ho hopes to see the mystery cleared up as soon as possible and stands at all times ready to help the police in any way that is in his power to end the affair.

FEDERAL COURT DECIDES AGAINST DISTILLERY CO. I'photds UiRht of Internal Revenue Commissioner to Preserihe IVew Itules for Erandlnj; Products. Cincinnati. July 1. Judge Safer, in the United States court here last mid

night, rendered a decision upholding the right of the United States Internal Revenue Commissioner Capers to

prescribe new rules for the branding of the various products of distilleries under the three general names of "high wines."' "alcohol'" and "spirits" as the case may be. Tie dissolved the restraining order which had been obtained by the Clifton Springs Distilling company of this city to stop the local

internal revenue men from branding with the designation "alcohol" a grade of distilled spirits which the company had been making and selling for half a century under the name of "spirits." The court held that company had no property right in that name, such as would except it from coming under the new rule adopted by the internal revenue department. The new rules in the case were framed on the lines of pure food law, and the federal officials regard the result as a victory for the

policy of that law.
