The coke user made his way down

Broadway and was closely followed. He made his way to a certain house on a side street and before "knocking on the door looked around to see if he was watched. Thinking he was

safe he knocked on the door and was admitted. A short time afterwards he came out and walked down the street apparently a dterent man. The drug had done Its work. He was approached by the reporter and was told he had secured the cocaine. It comes In a small vial and costs .50 and was enough to last a week. The house Is kept by a man and his wife. ' They are not users of the drug

themselves. It Is said, but keep It for

the use of others. It has since been learned that thev sell aulte and amount

to several colored men living in South

Gary, who are addicted to the habit. A few months ago certain parties In

Hammond were found to be guilty of

selllne cocaine, since they were ex

posed In the columns of The Times. they have been very careful and It is thought that they have stopped the sale. The certain house in Gary will be closelv watched and if there is any

more evidence secured against them

they will be exposed and their arrest

will follow.

"For some time past it has been noised about Gary that certain parties were traffleing in cocaine. Not alone has this been common hearsay but the local police hav been avuare that cocaine is being sold Jn small quantities and from this fact Chief Martin has made an investigation at times, but hasbeen uirJfble to find the names of the persons who ar.e dealing in the drug. Yesterday afternoon a Times' man was approached on the street at the corner of Broadway and Seventh avenue by a stranger, who asked for 10 cents. The man was ordinarily dressed and appeared to be about 35 years old. The mansaid' he was from Chicago and hal come 'to Gary in search of work, but , at the present time he was sick. His'pale faceand his hands, which visibly shook clearly, denoted that he was in te need of medical attention. OAbeing closeCy questioned the man flnally admitted '.that he was a coke fiend andhad comeUo Gary for the drug. x "I am from Chicago," said the man. "and being ymable to get it there I used to go out to Hammond, but vsince the recent exposures at that plce those who dealt in the drug have given up the sale.

JUDGE REIL10 WROTHY

(Special to Thb Times.)

Indiana Harbor, Ind.. Feb. 5. As an

aftermath in the Barcan-Rowan mari

tal entanglements that started in Pennsylvania and ended in this state,

John ad Mary Rowa will likely file

proceedings against Constable Charles

Muller and Attorney I. Leon Gould for

false imprisonment, the constable hav

lng made their arrest In Terre Haute

without the formality of a warrant. -It is an outrage." said Judge VTll

liam A. Reiland yesterday. "The

couple have undoubtedly committed a

crime, but the offense was committed

in another state and there is no rea

son why this man Barcan, the woman's

husband, should try to throw the cost

of trial onto the officials of Lake coun

ty, Indiana," Judge Reiland yesterday

refused to issue a warrant holding

the couple on either charges of big amy or larceny.

The only charge on which the couple

could be tried in this state would be for

illegally living together, and such a

charge would be tried in the county In

which the offense was committed. As

soon as released Rowan went to the of

flee of a local attorney and conferred

with him regarding the possibilities

of bringing action against the con

stable who made the arrest, suing the

latter through his bondsmen.

Indiana Harbor Foreigner Collides With Flyer on Lake Shore.

Scientifiics" Attempt to Storm Law Building and Capture President of '09s; Their Own Leader Falls and Is Trampled On.

(Special to The Times.) Valparaiso, Ind., Feb. 6. The 'Rah

'Rah boys at Valparaiso university had

wild time last night in an effort to

introduce the class scrap In the old

Valpo institution. 1

Cass L. "Wolfer, president of the seni

or class or scientiflcs, was Knocked down, trampled upon and rendered un

conscious for an hour and a number

of the other students received minor

injuries but were spirited away by

their class mates so that their identity

could not be learned.

The fight took place at about eleven

o'clock In the vicinity of the law build

ing. The "scientiflcs" were storming the law building In an effort to get

hold' of the president of the class.

There was a large number of law

students Inside the building and the

streets were filled with yelling, shout

lng "scientiflcs." Finally the president of the "scientiflcs" lead a rush on the

law building with the idea of storming

It. Class President Falls.

In some manner wolfer fell ana a score of his own class mates rushed over his prostrate body. When Wolfer

was picked up he was unconscious

He was carried to Stiles hall and a number of police who had been called

to the scene dispersed the crowd. A hurryup call was sent to Valpa

ralso from College full and a half a dozen doctors and an' ambulance was called. The injured class president and the other injured students were cared

for by the doctors present.

Cass L. Wolfer was carried to his room in one of the dormitories and

after the doctor arrived was revived

and soon able to talk. He stated that

some one had kicked him in the stom

ach and then, when he fell, the whole

crowd rushed over his prostrate body,

It was twelve o'clock before the

crowds of students who discussed the affair finally went to their homes and

order was restored on th hill. The

first fight was held Wednesday and the

disastrous battle occurred last evening,

(Special to Thb Times) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Feb. 5 John Spilvacz, a foreigner residing on Deodar street near 137th, was the victim of an accident yesterday that might

have cost him his life. So narrow was

his margin of escape that a . dinner bucket that he was carrying in his

hand wa struck by the eighteen hour train on the Lake Shore railroad and thrown several hundred feet along the

track. Suilvacz's hand was badly

sprained and necessitated the atten

tion of a local physician last evening

According to the man's story he was

walking from Indiana Harbor to the

Bufflngton cement plant, wheer he In tended going to work with the after

noon shift. He failed to notice the fast

train coming towards him until almost

too late and then made a desperate

rush to get off the tracks. He succeed

ed In getting safely over the tracks but his dinner bucket was struck by some

portion of the train, probably a corner

of one of the coaches and wrenched from his hand.

Spilvacz last evening declared he

cculd not explain how his life was

saved. He only remembered that the train was almost upon him when he Jumped to the side of the track and

that had been but a fraction of a second later he would have been undoubtedly been ground beneath the wheels of the iron monster. Spilvacz is a married man and has a family of five children.

Victim Who Fell Into One of the Dens at Gary Relates How He Lost Three Thousand Dollars of HardEarned Money.

finally prevailed, upon me and I consented. For the first time In my life had I frequented such a place and I wish it had been the last, as I would have saved over three thousand dollars hard earned cash, which money I lost since my first visit to such places. Of course no one Is to be blamed except the party who loses, but I blame the officials, the town board and the mayor, for allowing such evil existences to take hold of Gary, the Industrial center of the world. Many Uvea are Wrecked. I know at least half a dozen people who became complete wrecks on account of acquiring the habit of visiting the Gary gambling dens, besides

they wrecked their homes and- their

milies and now they are scattered

all over the world. If there ever was

'lower region" prepared for the wick

ed, it is right here in Gary in those gambling dens, you do not have to go

farther to see It, and 'of course the

Gary superior court is needed to be

placed where It belongs.
