Gary . Authorities Swoop Down Upon 'Drug Stores' and Confiscate Whiskey and Beer Chief Martin Files Affidavit.

In the raid of tho notorious blind tiger conducted by the Gary Pharmacy company, on Sixth avenue and Broadway, at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Chief Martin demonstrated beyond all doubt that lie intends to enforce the letter of the law hereafter In "Sunday school" Gary. Immediately after the sensational descent of the officers upon this place, the drug store owned by J. Steele, on Fifth and Virginia street, was also made the object of a second raid. In both places a quantity of liquor was confiscated, which after being hauled to the police station was soaked into the thirsty sand. It was evident yesterday that hereafter no discrimination "goes." The hurling of bombs Noa. 5 and 6, which diversion the Gary police are now enJoying, exploded with the greatest noise and smoke of any that have yet been cut loose among the public. Raid a Common Sight. Pedestrians on Broadway and the patons of the Broadway and Fifth avenue "speak-easy" places were amazed when the cart was hauled to the door of the drug houses and the search warrant was read by Chief Martin and Officers Newman and Miller. Instantly a large crowd gathered around, for the people of this end of the city have not yet grown accustomed to sights of this character like many have south of the "Wabash. A search for spiritous, vinous or malt

liquor throughout the building revealed the presence of one barrel of whisky and a case of beer, of which amount the Gary pharmacy was at once relieved. This was taken over to the police station, and while the contents of the barrel was being drained upon tho ground the raid on Steele's new place was being executed. May Kxpeot More Itnl.U. Ilere a quantity of whisky was found, but no beer. This store has been but recently opened and the fact

that they disposed of liquor was not so generally known to the public as it was of the Gary pharmacy. Two plain clothes men securing evidence about the city that liquor ia being sold today purchased the stuff, turned over the evidence to the chief, who himself sign-

eu in- ayyucauuu lur me searcn warrant for the two stores. Chief Martin said that the little affair of yesterday afternoon would not end end tho trouble in store for the law violators of the city. Any one caught in any part of the city would be shown no mercy, and he will show the people of Gary how tight they can clamp down the lid when once they have determined to do so.

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Aug. 4. Humors are rife that extensive improvements are under contemplation by the Standard Forging company, whose plant is located in Watling street, this city. The improvements will increase the capacity of the plant by about onethird and will add in the neighborhood of 100 more me nto the force of 300 employed there, if carried out as indicated. "While iho officials of the Forging company do not confirm this report, neither will they deny it, and the information to the effect that the improvements are contemplated seems to be authentic. Not only will the force be increased, but the company expects soon to be in a position to require all of its men to reside in Indiana Harbor. Most of the working force already live in this locality, but about fifty of the workmen have their homes in South Chicago and Chicago. These will remove to Indi

ana Harbor as soon as the big sewer now under way in Indiana Harbor is completed. Superintendent Carl Jern-

rn-rg lias set a laudable example to his men as a lesson in confidence and loyalty to Indiana Harbor, y purchasing a lot in Grapevine arid 112nd streets, and here lie intends to build a home as soon as tho sewer is finished. Started Five- Year Ago. The Standard Forging company is one of Indiana Harbor's most substantial ami consistent industries. It started something over five years ago with a building r.O'.i feet in length by about 120 feet in width and r. force of about Km) workman. Additions have been added to the plant until now it occupies 122 acres, and the building is l.OOtl feet in length by 120 feet wide and the working fore., numbers about 300. Most of the men are Swedes, the superintendent and assistant superintendent, Carl .lernberg and his son, Richard, respectively, being of that nationality. The president of the company is F. "W. Steele of Highland Park. Superintendent Carl .lernberg, previous to his affiliation with the Standard Forging company was connected with

IIS TIE UP

MANY IMPORTANT TOPICS

At the regular monthly meeting of the Gary Retail Merchants" association, last night, new officers for the ensuing year were elected, and several important topics were taken up for consideration and discussion. Principal among the latter was the subject of rents, for business places and homes. Lower rents In Gary, it was argued, would Induce more people to come there, creating a better business fo the merchants, while, as for themselves the rent is such as to bo a burden under which many are sorely handicapped. Another subject affecting the ' Gary merchants directly and the whole city indirectly was that of express rates for the city of Gary. The merchants feel satisfied that the size of the city and the amount of express business warrants a lower rate. May Get I,over Rate. Bearing this In mind a committee was appointed some time ago to take this matter up with the express company. This committee reported last

night that It had received word from the various companies that they had the subject under consideration ana that they asked the association to give their pinion as to what should be a minimum rate. Should the association accomplish the reduction of rents, or at least to prevent them from going higher, and also secure lower rates, the members feel that they have accomplished something for the benefit of themselves and the city as well, and that their work and organization has been worth while. NfB' Offlcfru Elected. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: President II. H. Highlands. Vice president Charles r. Dailey.

Treasurer Samuel Miller. Secretary Leonard Fitzgerald. Directors Joseph Steiner, E. C. Simpson. J. J. Marks. Harry Alschuler, Walter Acker, J. W. Pryale, W. G. Riley, S. A. Huff, M. Nusbaum. Joseph Tittle.

The fate of the traveling public in Hammond. East Chicago and Whiting so far as the South Chicago City Railway company's lines are concerned will he decided tomorrow In Chicago at the referendum vote of the union employes, which will decide on the ques" tion of whether or not the 9,000 rnotormen and conductors on all the lines operated in Chicago between Evanston

and Hammond will strike, accept the terms of the company, or arbitrate their difficulty. Today it appears as if the union men had decided upon war, and if the lockout goes into effect this region may again witness as stirring scenes as were enacted at the time of the great strike of the Pullman car workers, when Hammond was under martial rule. The deevlopments in the situation to date ar.-: The Illinois state board of arbitration will volunteer their services In case they are not approached by the contending parties officially. The city will take a band in the matter as co-partner of the companies. Edwin I j. Reed, "captain of strikebreakers," announces the presence of 5.000 available strikebreakers in Chicago to work under contract In case the lockout is called. Union officials hold conference to promote the referendum strike vote to be taken tomorrow. Employes of lines in the Calumet district will confer with President Mitten

this afternoon respecting local demands. The only ray of hope discerned today in the gathering war clouds is the fact that the state vbonid of arbitration, although their services have not been sought, will go to Chicago today, where they will attempt to induce the

parties to the controversy to settle their difficulties peacefully. In view of the evident possibilities of a strike the city officials who have In view the safety of the public and the protection of property, or the street railway companies, which hope to partially maintain their service, are preparing with police and deputies and scores of strikebreakers to properly handle

the situation. Seemingly with an attitude of pas siveness on the part of President Mlt

ten. inward Ij. Reed, "king of strikebreakers," who now has offices with

the Employers' association In the Mar

queue rjuiunng, announced that he is under contract to supply the Chicago City railway with Strikebreakers In the event of a strike. He said he had

5.01'hi men "competent to handle stree

cars in Ltiieago at present. The statement of Reed was supplemented by apparently well baaed reports that 1,-

oimi men are available In Boston for

service in Chicago as strikebreakers

wnue iuu men are available in Kansas City. It was said that the strikebreaking agencies throughout the

United States are anticipatory of requisitions from the Chicago traction com

panies. Reed was talkative enough in con

trast with the silence of the officials of the traction companies, including the one lie says lie is under contract to

serve. The "king" made no attempt to conceal his supposed relations with the

Chicago City Railway company. X I I . . .1 : : - . . . . . . , .

Kathryn Arthur, of Windsor Park, is in New Buffalo, Mich., for a month's visit. Edward Marth of East Side is in Fremont. Mich., on a vacation. Word was received In South Chicago Sunday that Julius C. Hostettler, who formerly lived at 1064 Avenue II, had killed himself on his father's grave In Bloomington, 111. The following note was found on his person after hi3 death, which he took with two ounces of carbolic acid: "Pear Sister, Eddie and Edith My troubles are more then I can stand. Tell Jose, my wife, she has killed one man and that was her Julius. Her address Is 1077 Blue Island avenue. Goodbye, and take awful good care of Eddie and Edith." His body will be brought here for burial. Little Joseph Yasseer, 18 months old, 8337 Ontario avenue, was instantly killed when he fell from a two-story window to the ground Sunday. He had

been playing near the window, and evidently leaned hard against the screen, which gave way, throwing him to the

ground.

That the company has the interest of its workmen at heart is evidenced by the fact that it has dug a well on the premises 425 feet deep which provides splendid and healthful water, albeit the water contains such properties as sulphur and iron in small quantities. These, however, do not detract from the healthful qualities of the water.

Try the real Parisian Sage and succeed as thousands have done. In Paris Dr. Sabourand discovered the dandruff microbe and the way to kill it. In Paris women have most abundant, beautiful, lustrous and fascinating hair. They know about hair and its diseases in Paris, far more than we do. They have institutions where the study of the hair is made a specialty. Parisian Sage is the only certain destrayed of the dandruff microbe which is the cause of 97 per cent of hair troubles. Parisian Sage Is such an extraordinary and quick acting rejuvenator that Summers Pharmacy, who is the agent in Hammond, guarantees it to cure dandruff, stop falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks or money back. It makes women's hair lustrous and luxuriant and drive away foul odors in summer. And a large bottle of Parisian Sage costs only o cents at Summers Pharmacy and at leading druggists all over America.

sentatives of the Anti-Saloon league

are now gong after every saloonkeeper in the county, agafnst whom they can

secure evidences of irregularities.

To give an idea of what is beinc donn

and what may be expected, the work of Attorneys Matthews and Bruce, before the county commissioners yesterday, is a fair sample. The following is a list

of the licenses that were refused and the reasons for refusing them

against.

Hohrrt Kunnelt, Cedar Lake Refused license because he had conducted a

place wheVe gambling was permitted

and where women of bad rharnrtur

WHEV THEY WERE IlEFl'SEIl. This gives a good idea of the reasons

why certain licenses were refused, it can be seen that any Infraction of the law, no matter how trivial, are taken as an excuse for putting a man out of the business.

-These attorneys, who are working

indefatlgably to wipe out saloons in

Lake county, says they ahve only begun their work. They claim that at

each session of the county commissioners they will appear against all of the saloonkeepers against whom they can secure evidence. For instance, they went to Indianapolis and secured the evidence from the office of the United States internal revenue office that the following Cedar Lake, men have government licenses and only .ix or seven of them have county licenses. Consequently a large number of these men are alleged to be running "blind pigs." SOME HAVE COITXTY LICEXSES. Jta, naciea.tii Cedac Lake, ea

who have taken out government licenses are as follows: James Ray, Henry Roser.baum. John Stilson, J. G. Sigler, Cecil R. Sigler, Louis Wein. Henry Bixenman, Joe F. Bixenman, Mike X. Einsele, William Gerbing, John Genzler, Anton Hein, Thomas Hune. Fred A. Irons, Acmin Krouse, K. E. Kenyon, Harry Lassen and John Mitch. Attorney Matthews gives the name of Henry Pitzle of Whiting and Noble Morrellt of East Chicago, as those who were granted licenses in spite of the remonstrances against them. It is said, however, that these men were informed by the board of county commissioners that they must close their places on Sunday, take down their screens and remove the slot machines In their places or their licenses will be refused the next time they apply. PLAY XO FAVORITES. Attorney Matthews was asked yesterday If he did not think it was doing the saloonkeepers In Lake county an injustice to compel them to close their places of business on Sunday when the West Hammond saloons were allowed to keep open and would do all of the business. To this he replied that he did not Intend to play an favorites. He said that all of the violators of the law looked alike to him and he was going to proceed against them, regardless of who they are and where they are doing: business.
