and the assemblage, which numbered

The main decoration was a large

American flag draped at the north end of the banquet hall, and amid its folds

he genial features of Abraham Lin

seated, and two long ones where the

members of the flre department and

prominent citizens in every walk of life had their places. The table of honor was plentifully adorned with varie

gated flowers in which lilies and carnations gleamed amid a setting of oldfashioned garden blossoms. At the head of the festive board sat Mayor Ed

Professor F. Bockman, of the Illinois

state board of health, has been in Gary

for a month testing It and thus far has found It excellent.

The flexibility of the plant is one

thing that the company prides Itself on most particular. Every pump may be working at once and the construction

Is such as to eliminate practically all

of the harsh jar so frequently noticed

in buildings where ponderous machinery is In motion.

Big Tank a Feature. A striking feature of the plant is the

tank which stands alongside of it, the height of which is 125 feet, and its capacity 3,000,000 gallons. The tank is

thirty feet in diameter, and can be

filled by one of the pumps In an hour's time. The tank is later to be Incased within a brick tower, octagonal in shape, with winding staircase inside

leading to the top which Is to be used

for observation purposes.

The Gary Land compajiy has made

arrangements with the Water company for a flat rate for consumers, although the water is to rass through

meters, the Land company to shoulder

whatever expense entails between the quantity of water the flat rate would

cover and the amount actually used by

the consumer. This is in order to en

courage the use for the beautfying of

lawns, and to make for a city beautiful.

10 COMPETE WITH

E.J..8E. OUTER BELT

The plan of the Norrthwestern Rail

way company to enter Into competition with the E. J. & E. railway in an outer belt line near Chicago became public yesterday in Chicago. The Northwestern has been engaged secretly on the plans for several months, but it transpires the intention is not

to cover the whole field occupied by the E. J. & E., but only that section of the country adjacent 'to the Northwestern's territory.

Kamradt, the jovial, general enter- j tainer and good fellow was on hand with his guitar and his inimitable vo-i cal contributions. John, as always, kept everybody in good humor every minute of tne time when there was a suggestion of a lag. and these suggestions came but seldom. But throughout there was not a moment when the popular "gas man" was not adding to the general Joy of the occasion. The firemen made splendid hosts and the spread they furnished was beyond compare. The tables groaned under their load of choice edibles and the most genial hospitality was the keynote of the entertainment throughout. Judge Hembroft made a tactful and gracious toastmaster, and the speaking was excellent. The committee in charge of the arrangements was composed of the members of the regular department in Indiana Harbor and of the ex-volunteer company, as follows: First Assistant James Doherty, Captain George Darner.

Beer was denominated as "A God

Given Right" at the meeting arid organization of the independent democratic party of Gary last evening. Incidentally the formal boom of T. E

Knotts, town president, as candidate for mayor on this ticket was formally launched. Harvey Curtis was chosen

chairman and Arden Dearbayne secre

tary and William A. Cain treasurer of

the new organization. Motley Clew on Stage.

Grouped about the center of the stage

were a real estate man or two, a mer

chant, some foreign speakers, members

of the bar, some who have been be

hind the bars and one divekeeper, and the owner of a gambling hell. These were the supposed leaders and some

were respectable. Knew What "levo" Meant.

The Cozy theater, the scene of the

gathering, was nearly filled. But if

every seat was taken, in all, at least

400 men would have been present. Of

this number more than 100 were promi

nent Gary republicans who came to see

the passing of events and of the re

maining 300 swearing allegiance to the

democratic bolters. All except fifty

were English-speaking, while the res

could understand one word "Pevo." I nlon Labor Not There. Besides the absence of the democrat ic leaders last night at the Cozy the

ater not one union labor man was

given a scat on the stage. Neither did any union man speak. Whether the union men had been invited to the stage

and whether they balked when they

would have to sit alongside with divekeeper, is unknown.

Among the bills which were sent

out to advertise the Knotts' meeting were the small white dodgers calling

an "independent democratic mass meet ing" at the Cozy theater, which the un ion men noted as lacking the union la

bel. Other bills loudly called for th

"Peepul" to come and denounce the republican boss rule came from a Chicago printing office. Democratic Leaders Absent. Conspicuous for their absence were the democratic leaders. Neither Chairman Corbett, any member of the executive committee nor any officer in the various democratic clubs of the city were on hand. Almost the entire police force was present, and, it is said, that they spent most of the day getting recruits for the meeting. There was also a piano recital, and whenever "Meester" Knotts cruised near the stage "Hail to the Chief" resounded from the dingy instrument. Curtis .Start Things. The meeting began with Mr. Curtis, an enterprising young lawyer, in the chair. Proceedings were immediately started to elect a town chairman, and Mr. Curtis landed the job. Other officers were chosen and some one made a suggestion that an executive committee of 100 be appointed. Here was a chance to give everybody a job, but this was tabled when Mr. Curtis asked

that the subject be permitted to rest for consideration. Mr. Curtis' committee will consist of Dan Fitzgerald, William Cain, and B. P. Muller, who art; the ward committeemen. Thf-se three men were candidates for these positions at the regular democratic ward committee elections, held May 27. They failed of election, as the Crolius ticket beat them in the conventions. Undaunted they later held

rump conventions and became committeemen at the instance of Mr. Knotts. They will now comprise the ward committeemen of the new independent democratic ticket. Rub Vp the Knotts Halo. One of the choice speeches of the evening was made by Dr. Millstone. The doctor told how he was a republican before he came to Gary, but coming under the magnetic influence of Mr. Knotts he became a democrat of the new variety. In speaking of the Crolius supporters, the opponents of Knotts, he said: "But let me tell you, now, when you will give them their rewards thepy will get their reward In hell." One of his choice remarks was: "I imagined that this must be an awful town when it is in the hands of democrats." The doctor said that Mr. Knotts is the sole friend of the foreigners. "I find that in this town of our's. outside of Mr. Knotts. there is not a man that shall say a good word for the foreigners." declared the speaker. Pain Believes In LloeBne. H. A. Paine, a Broadway business man, who for some unknown reason has espoused the cause of "Hlnky Dink" Knotts, was among .those who spoke.

He was preceded by several foreign

speakers. Mr. Paine arose from his

seat among the faithful on the stage and soon launched into a very remarkable series of utterances.

He began by talking about the tar

iff and saying that he is a free trade man. Of course, this was unintelllble to most of the audience. Soon he be

gan to tell the dry ones that while he never drank whiskey he liked his beer.

He believed in license, he said, but just

what kind was not definitely stated.

Whether it was of the variety that

"Meester" Knotts has been permitting

or an ordinary saloon license probably

only he himself knew. He did not say whether he believed in licensing Divekeeper Johnson, Jackson, and Piper. Paine Deliberately I4c. Paine deliberately falsified when he

said that "it has been a very bad thing for Gary for the Hammond paper to come out and state that Governor Marshall would have to come in and help run the town." The Times never made any such statement and defies Paine to prove his statement. "You should etudy over the whole question and look into the whole situation broadly. The people should rule. I believe in the people ruling, I do not believe in three or four men ruling. I believe he has tried to give Gary a good, clean administration In every way possible." This statement was received with great cheers from Divekeepers Dave Johnson and Piper, as well as the myrmidons. Paine denied

that he was hostile to the Indiana Steel company. 'Hlnky Dink" Appears. The climax of the evening was reached when "Meester" Knotts himself trotted toward the stage. In shirt sleeves the hero of the evening made for the platform amid thundering cheers of "Beer, "Meester" Knotts," "Beer," "Hurrah for 'Meester' Knotts," "Beer and Whiskey.' AVhen he reached

the stage the cheering, which was led

by Divekeepers Johnson and Jackson knew no bounds. Knotts stood in the center of the stage, extended his arms as far aR they would stretch and thus showed his great love for the "peepul." He stood like Moses at the battle between the Phillistines and the chosen people. Two men stood in front of the hero and pointed at him, thus making the tableaux most effective. Angelic in every extreme was the pose, and even Divekeeper Piper was observed to be visibly affected. Knotts then proceeded with his speech, wherein he said little.

DO'II WEAR A BLUE SHIRT THERE

(Special to The Times.)

East Chicago, Aug. 12. Citizens of

East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, who

wish to pursue the even tenor of their way, without being pounced upon by some arm of the law. would better con

fine themselves to the wearing of pink slilrts or yellow shirts or white shirts or black shirts, in fact to any old shirt excepting plain blue shirts. A plain blue shirt is the only scrap of evidence the

police have to go on in an attempt to locate a man who rassed fraudulent

checks a few days ago in Indiana Har bor.

The victim of the forgery, Peter Nirovich, who conducts a clothing store

in Cedar street, could not give a de

scription of the man who defrauded him, but remembered that among other

things he had purchased before pre

sentlng a check of $15.30, which was

later returned to him unnonored, was a blue shirt. So Ue fetched a blue shirt similar in color and pattern in to

Sergeant Quinlan yesterday and laid it

on his desk, as a clue to the identity

of the culprit.

"And must we arrest every man we

see wearing a blue shirt then? com

plained Sergeant Quinlln. "It looks

so."

OURj AD. RATES ARE RIGHT CALL ON US

tCopTrtgbt, U09, tJ W. K. u j

Chief Higgins had something to say yesterday morning with reference to

this same "bad check man," which It might be well for business men to pay heed to. Preliminary to his remarks along this line, the chief drew forth from one of the pigeon holes in his desk, a parcel of papers from which he extracted several, laying them one above the other on the desk. Each of the papers was a check, made out in the same handwriting, in the same exact style, with the same perforated figure specifying the amount and signed in many instances by the same company. The dates of these checks covered a period from Feb. 10, 1906. to Aug. 7, 1909. There were seven of them, the amounts in each case being in the neighborhood of $15. The checks were drawn on various banks, and while they were in several instances signed by the Western Construction company,

the countersignature was in two cases

alike, excepting as to the chlrography

There could be no mistaking the fact

that all were written by the same hand

"You can see by the date of these checks how long this party has been operating in this region," said the chief. "Here is one issued early in 1906. And yet he remains at large. I say 'he', but I mean 'they.' I am convinced that there is a gang working together. This system of defrauding would not be profitable enough to warrant its pursuit, if the business men were less gullable. Or if they would give the pellet' department the least little bit of help. Over and over I have issued the warning, 'if a stranger offers you a check in payment for a bill of goods, call up the police station..' " The circumstances of a man offering

a check to any one whom he does not J

know in itself should arouse suspicion. And nine times out of ten the suspicion would prove well founded. Hut no one ever dors that. The best he will do, is to turn down the check, and allow the defrauder to leave his store, only to perpetrate his fraud nn some one gullable. If he would take stock of

the appearance of the man. and notify j us Immediately, we would undoubtedly be able to apprehend him. But just as an instance of how ut- j terly we arc- left to our own resources in tracing up such criminals, I will!

cite the case of a certain saloonkeeper who was done some time ago by one of these same checks. He reported the case to me, too late to do any good, and I got him to promise me that in the future if any man unknown to him offered him a check, to notify me. Six weeks later lie came to me again, after having cashed a check issued by the : same party, in the same hand writing I and for practically the same amount.

and wanted me to find tiie guilty man. This was after the check had gone through the clearing house and had como back to him unhinored. What can we do when business men will do the like of that? Nothing. And yet we bear the brunt of the cussing which follows the putting over of every such deal, and no arrests follow.

Voice of The People LETTER FROM GARY MINISTER. Gary, Ind., Aug. 7, 1909. Editor, Timer: Mr. Englehart has said that his lots will doubtless increase in value, so it will, after the cleaning up, and other think the same. Xo man wants to live in a town that he has come to where there are slums like a hogpen. I prophesy that it will be necessary to kill the hogs before we get rid of them. Of course, we could have gotten rid of these places long since if the law had been enforced. I think that if it is not the church's duty to get at this matter, the pastors do not know their places in the law, if we get our law from the book of books, the Bible. The Bible iells us to stand on the coals, and not to see men go down to hell and drag men, women and children with them. I say not.

We should stand there to hear the

word at his mouth and to give them warning that they may be saved. If we should take that stand we

could not have issued a statement to

the various papers deploring the no

toriety which the press of the country

has given Gary. The newspapers exposing conditions in Gary are not hurt

ing the town; they are benefiting it by

turning on the limelight of publicity,

and I still say it is and was the exist

ing conditions that hurt the town and

not what the papers said.

What worse mob violence could be

added to a man than to drag his soul

out of him by leading him away after

those things that will cause him to destroy himself and home and respect

for civil laws.

I told one of the ministers to let

the law take Its course. It did, in the person of Mr. J. E. Sears, But what could he do with that great Knotts by

himself?

Now. if we ministers had gone to

work two or three months ago and issued a statement deploring the out

rageous conditions in Gary, we would

have done our duty.

We who stuck the match to the

magazine wanted to see it go up. It

is the conditions and not the notoriety

coming from it that those ministers

should have deplored.

Of course, they showed their weak

ness when they issued tnat statement

If they had gone and helped The Times expose the thing, after we had started the wheels rolling, the crusade would

have aided Gary to get rid of the plague spot which should have been

moved long since. But they did no help.

So Father Jensen and myself brought

the gun into the camp of the enemy and The Times took courage and en

tered the fight, and now I think tha

if the ministers had not the courage to

enter the fight they should have kept ouiet and not have come out against us. They don't know whether there

was a mob or not in the four that

caught me on the street about 4 o'clock

in the afternoon, who said after I es

caped that I had better run; and on the night of the same evening some

one came to my shack with a quart

bottle of oil and set it on fire, and I

both attempts I escaped.

It was not their fault I escaped; i

was through the will of God, who said

He will be with us all the way. Of course, It takes moral courage to do th ework or take up the fight, but God has a few that will do their duty at all hazards. This is all we have this time. Tours truly for the betterment of all men. REV. SHEPHERD M. KING.
