HOT

According- to the story now afloat In Gary the breweries intend to put

about three-fourths of the saloons ofj Gary out of business some" time next winter. The plan is to have the legislature give the cities power to raise :he license fees to $900. Once this is accomplished the brewery interests will transfer their lobbying to' the municipal council . chambers- and in various parts of the state including Gary, where they think It Is needed, the alderm?n will be prevailed upon to raise the licenses to that amount. AVH1 Be A Hard Blow. Then it will be a biff, bang, blng, for most of th Gary saloons as the majority of the 201 will not be able to pay more than a thousand dollar expense Incidental to licenses and attorney fees. It is said that while some of the breweries are for regulating ; by agreement the number of saloons to be per

mitted In Gary all will not be a party tox It and consequently even they are viewing with alarm the- 201 saloons In the steel ity.

it Is declared that fifty saloons will be able to sell just as much beer as two hundred with far less danger of any agitations against them. The results in Gary will be awaited with Interest once the legislature convenes. Usually the "brewery Interests have considerable power to get what they want in Indianapolis and if the

AT POPLAR SPRINGS The sharpshooters of Lake county are interested in a combination gun club tournament that is to be held at Poplar Springs, between that team and ,the Lowell club, on Sept. 25 and 26. The shoot is in the nature of a postseason event. Poplar Springs won the Lake county championship, but the Lowell club is not far behind, being in third place." The contest will undoubtedly be a very interesting one.

Reports in the Chicago Tribune from New York yesterday stating that 2,000 men had been laid off at Gary, were vigorously denied at the offices of the local plant today. The reports have no foundation and they are as many men employed at the Gary plant as there were six weeks ago. This is substantiated by the last payroll, the amount of which was slightly In excess of the former one. The only curtailment there has been at

the local plant was about two months ago, when several departments decreased their working force. This was due chiefly to the usual summer slack

ness in business which is experienced every year in all the plants of the steel corporation. Every indication points to the fact that business will show a gain from this time on. The Tribune today denies its report of yesterday and says: "Reports that the steel company has reduced its working force from 25 to 30 per cent are misleading, as telegraphed from New York. There has been a gradual reduction that has brought the operating force down about 25 per cent below the highest point re-

Having held twelve political offices

In the good state of Pennsylvania, Judge Thomas Brown of Pottstown, ar

rived in Gary and after looking over

the city he decided that it is the place

for him to land the thirteenth. The Judge is one of the ardent republican workers in the Pennsylvania town and he has served his city, his county, his state and his country most of his life, and has evidently made good with; the people of the Keystone state when they elected him to twelve successive offices for varying trms. AVhile in Gary OucTsre Brown is the guest of 'Alderman Dominick Szymanski'of the south end, and his son Bo-

lice. In Pottstown, where the Szymanskis formerly resided, they were some

politicians and they have apparently put their training into good effect here. Encouraged by the success of his former neighbors Judge Brown, who is an rator of the first water and an organizer of considerable ability, has decided that Gary affords the best field for a dive into Hoosier politics. Accordingly, the judge, just as soon as he returns home and finishes up some of his business and resigns his present office, will come ba?k to Gary.

A newspaper account of the Elkhart innovation reads: "Elkhart is to be the first in Indiana to include Bibles in her hotel furnishings; arrangements having been made yesterday to place cop.es in all the local houses. The innovation Is the move of , the Gideon's Christian commercial travelers, and at the Depot hotel a Bible will be placed in each room, the other houses to follow."

In connection with the agitation of the Gary people to have the name of the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern railway changed to the Gary, Joliet & Wauke-

gan railray, the "Chesterton Tribune comes out and wants a share of the

honor for Chesterton's suburb, Porter, The Tribune says:

"The E. J. & E. railroad has Jvst added thirty new engines to its equipment, bringing the total number in service,

up to 108, not including the switch en- j gines. Some time ago the company was considering building a small roundhouse at this place and had a force of surveyors here locating a site for the bulldig. Since then nothing has been heard of the project. The company is considering changing the name of the road from Elgin, Joliet & Eastern,

which means nothing, to something appropriate. Gary wants to have the road named the Gary, Joliet & Waukegan. Why not call it Gary, Porter & Waukegan? Porter is the eastern terminus of this line, and G. P. & W. sounds just as well as G. J. & W."

this morning, who was arrested last night on a charge of grand larceny. Mrs. Thomas was given a fine of $100 and costs and was sentenced to the county Jail for a period of six months, which means she will spend 290 days In the county basi. The colored woman was arrested on

Although the striking Illinois coal miners" have gone back to work, the recent raise in coal prices will not be lowered thereby. At least this is what the Gary coal barons say and they ought to know, as they are In constant touch with the Chicago markets and

the magnates who dominate it.

"I was talking to Francis Peabody,

president of the Peabody Coal com

pany, . over the long-distance telephone," said Major McFadden, president of the Gary Coay company, "and he told me that the prices would not come down. Mr. Peabody says that much of the coal is wet and unfit for use. Also the Chicago supply Is 20,000,000 tons "short by reason of - the strike and that makes a famine with the attendanct boost In prices." '
