Although a howl of protest has gone up from the unpaid members of one of the Gary city "departments because Aldermen Bowser, Baukus and Szymanski last Monday night voted against an emergency ordinance to appropriate moneys for a $700 "expense account" it was well that the aldermen voted against the measure or else they could have been subject to a fine and removal

from office and other members of the

city administration could have faced a

more drastlce penalty.

"Expenne Accounts" Cause Racket. Last Monday night there was Intro

duced an emergency ordinance for the

appropriation of money for the "expense accounts" of three city departments. Of the amount wanted $700

was for the street department. $300 for the police department and $250 for the city attorney's office. The fact that a

city department should have a $700

expense account" aroused suspicion

and when one of the aldermen pro

pounded some questions to the city clerk it developed that the street department "expense account" was a measure to secure money for debts already incurred and that if it was not passed the forthcoming payroll could

not be met. Thereupon the emergency ordinance was submitted to a vote but the ayes were unanimous so it failed of passage.

The Indiana statutes are very specific

on the subject of debts ana some surprise is expressed that City Attorney Curtis did not advise the county that

the passage of p uch an ordinance would imperil the office of every member of the council.

Statute Are Specific.. Tbe statutes specify!

ISo city officer has potrer to bind the

city to any contract or. agreement be

yond the money already appropriated

for such purpose and all obligations

beyond such appropriations are void,

Hence the mone due the employes of

the street cleaning department cannot legally be paid to them as tne obliga

tion is void.

Further:

Should any city official Issue any

narrnnt for tbe payment of any oblItn tlon beyond the authorised appropria

tton such official is liable on his official

bond, ma be fined not more than one

thousand dollars, and may be Imprison

ed In the county jail for tern of six

months.

And furthers

Unauthorized claims allowed by a

city council may result In those who

violate the statute to be removed from

office and subjected to a stated fine.

A Stiff Penalty Provided. 8688 (Warrants, excess of appropriation 86). Any city official who shall issue any bond, certificate or warrant for the payment of money, which shall purport to be an obligation in such city, and be beyond the unexpended balance of any appropriation made for such purpose, or who shall attempt to bind such city by any contract or agreement, or in any other way, to any extent beyond the amount of money at the time already appropriated by ordinance for such purpose, and remaining at the time unexpended (excepf as in the last preceeding section provided) shall be liable on his official bond to any person injured thereby, and shall be fined not more than one thousand dollars, and imprisoned in the county Jail not more than six months, either, or both. When Obligations Are Void. 86S7 (Contracts and agreements, when void, 85). No executive department officers or employe thereof shall have power to bind such city to any contract or agreement, or in any other way, to any extent beyond the amount of mone at the time already appropriated by ordinance for the purpose of such department; and all contracts and agreements, express or implied, and all obligation of any and every sort, beyond such existing appropriations, are declared to be absolutely void. All made In violation of this section are invalid and a subsequence of appropriation shall not invalidate the same. (See 144 Ind. 175.) Penalty for Concllmen. (8891 Official misconduct penalty 237,. It shall be unlawful for the common council of any city or the board of trustees of any town, or any officer or board of either of such corporations, to allow any claim against such city or town, or to order the issue of any warrant for the payment of money by any such corporation, except at a session of such common council or board, unless expressly authorized by law so to do; and no clerk or other officer of any city or town shall draw any warrant in favor of any person until so order and allowed, unless authority so to do is given in this act. Any city city or town officer who shall vioalte any of the provisions of this section and any clerk, city or town attorney, or other officer of any city or town who shall directly, aid or assist in seeking to recover any claim, or in the prosecution of any action against such city or town, shall on claim, or in the prosecution of any action against such city or town, shall, on conviction, be fined not more than fifty dollars, and shall be removed from office.

10 DEftTH I

The second death by fire in Gary took

place at 8 o'clock last night when Mrs. j Mary Frazekosh who keeps a small confectionary and cigar store at 1134 1

Washington street was horribly burned

as the result of a gasoline stove explosion and was found to be dead when carried out of the burning shack by

members of fire company No. 2.

Department Makes Three Runs. The local fire department was kept on

the jump last night from six to ten o'clock. Shortly after six o'clock a

call came from the First National Bank j building where a pile of rubbish caught

fire In the basement of the building. Robert Burnett a colored-porter was celaning the bank when he noticed flames issuing from the stairway. The ' door being locked, Burnett smashed the

glass In a transom and crawling through the small aparture he attempted to extinguish the rratt.es. The firedepartment arrived in a few min- j

utes and put out the fire.

Is Second Tragedy. j The death of Mrs. "Frazekosh the

Hungarian woman by fire Is the second shocking tragedy that has occurred In Gary within the past thre days. On Tuesday morning an unknown peddler,

who went by the name of "Peg" in Gary was found burned to a crisp In a box car on the Lake shore tracks. i

Just what caused the explosion of

the gasoline stove of the fire of last

night Is not known. Mrs. Frazekosh was formerly married and It is said she has a husband and daughter who

now live in the east. She is a light

built woman scarcely weighing 100

pounds. Her only means of sustenance i

was from the revenue she derived from the small stove.

Was About to Attend Dance. It Is said she was about to attend a dance last night and was heating a curling Iron on the gasoline stove when it exploded. Her clothing caught fire and she was enveloped in flames. It is said a young girl was in the shack at the time, who ran out and gave the alarm. The little girl could not be located last night. Fire company No. 2 the station being but a few blocks away was on the scene in a few minutes, but Mrs. Frazekosh was horrribly burned and she was dead when carried out of the building. Her grewsome and lifeless form was placed on a stretcher ard taken to Finerty's morgue. , Another small fire took place shortly after nine o'clock in the one story frame building o nEIeventh avenue west of Madison street. The damage was small.

were buying paddles on a duck raffle which was then In progress. Simmons won a duck and his friends for a Joke, stole the bird. This angered Simmons who began to talk loud.' and Perkins, in order to pacify his customer, told him he could have another duck. But the offer did not have the desired effect, for Simmons continued to talk of his ill treatment and one of the colored men cut in. He took up for Perkins, and one of the white men took a punch at him. This started the rough-house. NEOHO RUNS AMlTCK. A. H. Douglas, who Is a powerful negro bowled the white men down as though they were nine pins. They got up, and apparently had not had enough, for one of them approached Harper, who up to this time had not taken an active part in the scrimmage, and ask

ea nim wny ne uian i get ousy. tie got busy without further delay with the

result that he drew a razor from one of his pockets and slashed Simmons I most unmercifully. j (During the wrangle the fighters had ' gradually withdrawn to the sidewalk. I: A riot call was turned in and a number of officers were soon on the scene "and arrested all the belligerents. All ' founds bondsmen with exception of : Harper, who was held without bail.

"The Only Thing That Wffl Relieve Neuralgia." ' . The piercing pains of Neuralgia,' which often follows a bad cold or La Grippe, are frequently almost unbearable and few medicines afford anjr relief to the sufferer. 'I am a rural mail carrier and have been a user of the Dr. Miles medicines for years. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills can't be beaten. They are the only thing I have found that will relieve my neuralgia and I have tried most everything, besides medicine from the doctor. I am willing to tell anyone what the Anti-Pain Pills did for me." Charles Hilderbrandt, Box 205 Woodvill. Ohio ' If you, like Mr. Hildcrbrandt, "have tried most everything" in vain, why not do as he did, fight your aches and pains with Dr.

Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. Let the pills bear the brunt of the battle. No matter how stubborn the contest, they will come out victorious. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pein Pills stand on their record, which is a long list of cures extending back, a generation. Druggists everywhere sell them. . If
