AiTaptaln H. S. Norton of the Comi .T'ial club, has devised a plan which will be presented to the club in the near future which provides for the elimination of the undesirable saloons in the city. The conditions which existed while Gary was in a formulatlve
period in the south end, will never disgrace the Steel City again. There will be no more Dave Johnsons and J. Benjamin Kleins if the idea of the Commercial club's head is put Into execution. The scheme is to appoint a standing coi.T.nittee to which every applicant for a saloon license in Gary will be compelled to show proper qualification before he will be allowed to dispense intoxicants.- The law of the state of Indiana provide that a saloonkeeper shall be tjf good moral character and other, essential provisions which havi been utterly ignored in the granting of llenses in the past in Gary. Any one citizen also has the right of protesting the issuance of a license to a man ami ctin rt before the county commissioners evidence that an applicant Is not a fit man.' Mill Attend Commissioner' Meeting. To this standing committee will
then devolve Jthe responsibility of curbing the influx into the city of undesirable saloons. If a prospective saloonkeeper shows himself to be right, he will be allowed to start in business, but if they find that he is not a fit person, one of the committee will see that he is protested. In fact it will be the business ofthis committee to have one of its members at ea?h session of the county commissioner? ready to protest tu Issuance of all licenses to parties which have not O. K'd. It is necessary for an applicant to be a resident of this state for a certain length of time so that it will not be a difficult matter for the committee to investigate a man's record if ha should refuse to submit his case to
the committee. Ilnd Snloona Must Go. Now that the remonstrance has gone into effect and the saloons of the city are gradually loosing their lease of life, a committee if appointed before they again make application, would be abl to get a perfect grasp of th situation. Those who have been a scourge upon the town Is a matter of general information, and it is likely that after the next session of the Commercial club their fate will be sealed. Never again will "King David" Johnson sell liquor unless he does as a number of
colored men recently testified at a trial, sell It without license. The citizens of Gary will therefore be assured that in the futm? the model Steel City will be free from the tainted influence of these crime, breeders, that the class of ea'ovjns hereafter will be elevated to plane of decency, and that the bold infractors of the law, which have since the city was bounded been its only disgrace, be wiped out of existence.

FIRE BOGS ARE ABROAD
' (Special to The', Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Oct 19. One of
me most mysterious nres that ever visited this locality, was experienced by the local fire departments last night, when the house belonging to Steve Kish, on Melville avenue, caught fire and was almost burned to the ground. The firemen are unable to explain the origin of the blaze and the general opinion is that It was the result of a "fire-bug's" work. Kish Is now a resident of South Chicago and the house has been vacant
for some time. Last night about 11:20 o'clock, neighbors in the vicinity of the house, saw flames leaping high into the air. The Oklahoma company of the fire department responded, but were unable to get the flames under control and the East Chicago department was called. Under the direction of Officer John -Tohmpson. they responded quickly and the flames were soon extinguished. , , The Tlaze started In the attic, several feet away from the only chimney in the house, and away from any place where a defective flue could possible have caused any damage. For this reason, the police and fire company officials are inclined to believe that the blase was one of incendiary origin and are now working on a clew which they believe will result la, the apprehension f the guiltv parties.
POSTOFFICE
IF NEW QUARTERS
The postoffice In Gary was moved
to the Gary building yesterday and this morning the patrons of the office were pleased to find it housed in the
fine new quarters.
The new office is in the building at the corner of Fifth avenue and Broadway and there will be plenty of room
for future development.
The fixtures of the new office are
all new, and the employes worked all day yesterday in an effort to have things running properly by the time
the office opened this morning. P. M. tsll Happy.
Postmaster Call is very proud of his new office and he was congratulated
on the improvement by many of the
citizens of Gary. The office is equipped with a new safe, a new pouch rack, a new distributing desk and several
other conveniences which will greatly
facilitate the work of the employes.
There was some difficulty on the part of the owners of boxes in open
ing the combinations, but that will be remedied as soon as they learn how to operate the combinations. Postmaster
Call has left enough room so that when free delivery is installed there
will be a place for the carriers.
He hopes soon to make the post-
office officials see the necessity of
free delivery service in Gary and "he
believes that it will not be Ions before

or take a more personal interest in its welfare.
South Bend Last Trip. The last stop to be made will be In
South Bend where the big annual
banquet will be held at the Oliver hotel. This is one of the finest hostelrles in the state, and a danner will be a fitting climax to a day of pleasure.
There will be no set speeches, but a
fitting program will be arranged for
the amusement of the members. There
will probably be no time set for the
return as the next day Is 'Thanksglv
ing.
Although the cost of the trip will be
upwards of a thousand dollars, the financial condition of the club Is such that It will not be necessary to assess
the members a cent. They will simply be asked to pay in their regular dues and with this amount there will be
ample fund3 to meet all expenses. At present there are over a hundred mem
bers and it Is expected that about that
number will make the trip.

"Two broken legs" read part of the police report in connection with the Gary auto accident of last Saturday night in which an automobile crashed into an Italian's fruit cart. The report looked horrifying to the newsgatherer, and finally turned out to be a disappointment when he learned that the two legs referred to were those on the cart. Norman Cole, driving an automobile for the Gary-Tolleston Auto company, accidentally steered Into ' the cart stilling Its contents and demolishing it. It stood on Broadway between Seventh and Eighth avenue and was the property of James Nicoli, an Italian banana vendor.
TIGERS WIN THE GAME
East Chicago Football Team
Cleans Up With Visitors Yesterday.
MASONS AND EASTERN STARS HEAR A FINE SERMON. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Oct. 19. Rev, J. H. Palmer last night preached a special discourse to the members of the Masonic fraternity and the ladies of the Eastern Star organization. The theme, "The Two Pillars, Joachim and oBaz, or the Finishing of Our Lives," was exceptionally well handled, and its affiliation with the affairs of Masonry was delicately treated by the pastor. About fifty members of the fraternity were present, entering the church In a body. Special music was rendered by the choir, under the direction of Mr. William Evans, who is making rapid strides toward the construction of a successful choir.
(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 19. The East
Chicago "Tigers" showed thein; mettle yesterday afternoon by defeating the
Armour Square juniors, one of the
fastest amateur football organizations
in Chicago. The score was 55 to 0, and
the high score was due entirely to
the harmony in the playing of the local team.
Although outweighed at least ten
pounds per man, the Chicago lads
proved plucky players and are to be commended for the valiant fight they put up. It was merely a question, how
ever, of the best team winning and there was no chance for complaint. The game was' free from the customary wrangling ajid the crowd of spectators who assembled at Sawmill park
were high pleased with the work of
the local -organization.
Charge after charge was made
through the lines of the plucky jun
iors, each spurt meaning a gain of several yards for the Tigers. Down after down was played , until the ball was found consecutively near the opponent's goal. Here the excellent kicking of Sternberg and Captain McShane was brought into play, and on five occasions the extra point for a kicked goal added to the rapidly accumulating score. The game lasted a trifle over an hour, and may easily be said to be one of the finest examples of rapid pass work, splendid team organization and general footballing ever played before an East Chicago gathering. The line-up for the game was as follows: Center, -Douglas; right guard. Stirling, McDillon; left guard, French; right tackle. Brown; left tackle. Hewig; right end. McKenna; left end.
Snedden; quarter back, McShane; right
half, Sternberg; left half, Hascall; full
back. Nellis. Touchdowns Brown. 1 Snedden. 1; Sternberg, 4; Hascall, 2 Nellls, 2. Goals kicked by McShane, 2 Sternberg, 3.
The East Chicago boys are arranging
a game with Hammond and Whiting
teams for next Sunday, anil are alredy
promising their loyal supporters a football team that will retain the high
standard of playing that has always characterized the efforts of local teams. A great deal of comment is being made in the team, however, regarding the suggested action of Half Back Sternberg, who threatens to move to Gary. Should he do so the team will lose a valuable man and one whose place will be hard to fill.
For its crusade against Impure milk and unsanitary dairy conditions, Inaugurated last spring, The Times has been highly complimented by state health officers, sanitary dairymen, doctors and consumers. , Recently the Consumers Dairy company, at East Chicago, was visited by State Inspector Tucker, who was Interviewed by ya Times reporter, regarding the conditions found there. This naturally displeased the Consumers Dairy company. The East Chicago Globe published a long article attacking The Times for its Tucker interview. The article stated that the
inspector had found the prodnctvntIsfactorr; that be denied having Inter
viewed n Tim en reporter. The article
further stated that The Times story was written by an unscrupulous person, without, regard for truth.
Every effort was made to discredit The Times with its large constituency in East Chicago. In order to convince the people of East Chicago that The Times told the truth and that the Consumers Dairy company did not, a leter was sent to Mr. Tucker, the state pure food inspector, asking whether The Times, told the trnth or the Conanmerm Dairy company: His reply" is as follows: Oct. 17-OS. Mr. P. A. Parry, Editor Times, Hammond, Ind. Dear Slrt I winh to ssy that In regards to the Consumer's Dairy company of East Chicago that In the presence of Dr. Schllker of East Chicago, that I EID FI.VD the above mentioned place as is stated by your paper, -and that the cooling boxes were dirty inside and out and that the bottling machine was dirty in the valves and that seams of bottling machine and milk cans were dirty from old milk collecting in same, hut upon my second visit there later I found quite an Improvement over my first visit.

Address Democratic Meetat East Chicago Saturday Night. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 19. While the monster Watson rally was being held in the Lewis' skating rink, on Forsyth avenue, last Saturday evening, loyal democrats and a number of in
quisitive republicans attended the Clem Kern meeting in democratic
headquarters. Attorney Joseph Conroy, of Hammond, also made his customary fiery address to the assembled voters, imploring them to vote' for democracy and Bryanism. According to the reports of Mr. Kern's address it was typical of the speaker. In terms that almost teemed
with invective, Mr. Kern attempted a denunciation of the republican party, forgetting his enthusiasm the fact that the republican party has been responsible for the adding of several thousand dollars to Bryan's personal coffer. He denounced the policies which have always meant prosperity to the American nation and ended with an appeal for the support of Colonel Bryan and his running mate, John W. Kern, who Is a cousin of the speaker. The local democratic organization will attend the Marshall meeting in Indiana Harbor this evening and expect to create a fair apportionment of the evening's enthusiasm. The boys are well organized and are enjoying
the addresses of two or three speakers
every week, expecting by this method to catch stray floating votes that may happen to wander into the organization's headquarters.

A ERIES OF TEN TALKS ON ADVERTISING "VT A written by Seymour Eaton o Philadelphia XN U X Don't let newspaper circulation fool you. The newspaper which has the least power to sell goods usually makes the loudest shout about circulation. Don't skip around from one newspaper to another. ' Success in advertising comes from hammering away at the same crowd. ' ' . Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of readers you want for customers and then stick. When you get things going keep your head. A lineup of canvassers from competitive newspapers will call on you immediately and show you by a process of arithmetic, or it may be of geography, that they can give you twice the circulation at half the price ; that whoever advised you didn't know what he was talking about ; that if the paper your advertisement is in actually pays you their newspapers will certainly make you a millionaire. They are all nice fellows and put up good lunches and you like to meet them. Each will tell you that your advertisement is the prettiest thing he ever saw and that your store is a perfect gem. But don't. You can't afford it; at least not unless you have sufficient advertising appropriation to keep copy in all the newspapers continuously.. An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper will bring much bigger results than a two-inch advertisement in four newspapers. If you advertise your store to a hundred and fifty thousand people you can safely bank on the fact that in due time everybody will hear about you. People have a way of passing along good news. The fact that your advertisement appears continuously in a reputable newspaper stimulates public confidence. Your shop advances step by step in the estimation of tens of thousands of people who may be months getting around. to make their first purchase. You can talk to a hundred and fifty thousand people any day of the week through a metropolitan newspaper and make your talk as personal as you wish. You need not employ an interpreter or use a megaphone. Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere about it. Let your words ring true. The people will listen. They like it. Spend thousands a year on rent and electric light and experienced salesmen and then squeeze out a niggardly hundred or two on advertising on telling the people that you have the store and the goods and the salesmen, all hanging around waiting. A retail shop that spends $5,000 a year on rent ought at the very lowest estimate spend $10,000 a year on advertising. Your advertising is not a thing apart from your enterprise. It is your enterprise ; a contagion which you yourself create and which, if thoroughly spread, is as enduring as the everlasting hills.

The Canadian textile workers have decided that the weekly contributions
should be increased from 8 to 5 cent3 a week, and that representation should be made to the government to enforce the law in regard to the working time of women and children. . '. The Boot and Shoe Workers' International union makes claim that ' its system of collecting 25 cents a week dues saves it from the fear of strikes, and in such emergency does away with the necessity of calling upon sister crafts for financial aid. High dues also enable the union to prosecute more successfully Its campaign for the union stamp.
At the seventeenth annual convention

there were delegates representing 378

The issue was carried after considerable debate by a two-thirds majority, i Eoston. St. Louis and New York fav

There seems to be general satisfaction that this point at issues has at last been decided. it is reported that some 4.000 joiners and carpenters in Buda-Pest, Hungary, have been locked out. The reason alleged is that the men boycotted the works of fourteen firms which had refused to concede the advance of tenper cent in wages, as demanded by th men. The other firms resented this, and all of them agreed upon a lockout, which was promptly put into effect. All efforts to arbitrate the differences or bring about a settlement of the trouble have failed so far.
