IN STRIKE That the period of auletneee Id the building; strike la mm ill omen of developments of a serious nature which are to occur later on mu evidenced today, vrhea It waa declared that a wrecking; crew, whose headquarters are In the vicinity of Sixty third street and A ntworth avenue, Chicago, la preparing; to enter Gary with an effort to cause trouble.. For (he past two weeks there has been no developments in the strike situation, and the union men, it is said, have been content to do picketing and use persuasion among the non-union men who have entered the field with the view of influencing them to leave Gary. In this they have been successful to some extent, but since the in flux of a large number of non-union men their plans have been defeated, and it Is said that they are now about to use other tactics. One of the first plans of the wreck ing crew was to send representatives to Gary who secured the time of entry and departure of every train that left Gary on each of Its railroads and interurban lines. This information, which Is of value to the invaders, has been secured and the arrival of the body of men whose duty it is to make trouble Is looked for at any time. The nature of these secret move ments has been brought to the notice of the local safety board and they are duly prepared to cope with any violence which may result. The special industrial committee ap pointed by President Norton of the Commercial club, composed of Frank L. Welscheimer, A. S. Hess and Joseph Tittle, whose purpose it shall be to further the open shop policy in Gary, are already at work and have accomplished much good. WRANGLE OVER COURT CONTINUES Continued from Page una.) its extra Judges to sit at Crown Point part of the time. The Hammond lawyers say that twothirds of the business that is done in the Lake circuit court comes from the north end for the reason that the Lake superior court ia so badly congested it cannot handle the business. Crown Point is afraid that if the Lake superior court is given-, two extra judges and Crown Point gets nothing the holding of court in that town will be nothing more than a formality. The business that originates in the south end of the county would not keep Judge McMahan busy half of the time. May Move County Scat. Charges and counter-charges have been made by the Hammond and Crown Point attorneys and the talk of getting together with Gary and taking the county seat away from Crown Point is stranger than ever. There was a real indignation meet ing held among the citizens of Hammond yesterday as a result of the action of Crown Point in the court matter. "We never ask for a bridge but what. the Crown Point people grumble. We had to go on bended knee to Crown Point to have our courthouse remodeled when there is more business originates in this part of the county in a year than has originated in Crown Point In its entire history. Whenever we try to get some court legislation through the lawyers from that little town butt in and demand a certain amount of trib ute to assure their friendship. i 'fThe time has come when the north end of the county is fully warranted in taking steps to have the county seat moved to the center of population." DID TOM HAND GARY APACKAGE'? ' (Co"Hniied from Page One.) cials for court relief. As the result an amendment will he submitted to the Hammond measure, providing that one of the two additional judges shall hold court at Crown Point at stated intervals. Senator Gavit, who introduced the Hammond bill In the upper house, says he has a sufficient number of votes to pass the measure. It is known that Senator Proctor, chairman of the committee 'on organization of courts, is not altogether friendly to the Ham mond interests, and would like to sej the Gary bill go through. Consequently he recommended both bills for passage and the report was signed by the other members of the committee. Allege "Double Cross." Citizens of Gary are alleging that Mayor Tom Knotts, who came to Indianapolis ostensibly to lobby fo rthe Gary bill, "double crossed" his fellow townsmen.

against Gary in the struggle. Gary citizens came to Indianapolis at the opening of the legislature, prepared to make a stubborn contest. It was conceded that Hammond and Crown Point had captured the three members from Lake county. The first skirmish was before the house committee on the organization of courts, and Gary's interests were in the hands of Mayor Knotts. He announced the night before, it is said, that the committee was "all right." But the Hammond bill was reported for passage, and Mayor Knotts reported that Gary had been sidetrackedIt is said to be the Intense desire of Mayor Knotts to be a delegate to the next democratic national convention that "he may vote against Governor Marshall in case the Hoosier executive's name is presented. With Hammond's support Knotts is assured the place. Representative Van Horne, who In

troduced the Hammond and Crown Point bills, promised to get speedy action, it is said, for Crown Point, but delegations from that city say they have not been able to get a hearing. There will be an active delegation from Crown Point at the legislature this week, it Is said. Crown Point people say that Hammond is seeking to center all the courts of Lake county at Hammond and that Crown Point will lose even Its circuit court if Hammond's move for two more Judges is not blocked now. WIFE BEATER GETS HIS JUST DESERTS Sam Olson of Indiana Harbor Will Have Chance to Cool Off. (Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Feb. 16. Sam Olson of Indiana Harbor was given a heavy fine yesterday by Judge Walter J. Riley, which will keep him in Crown Point for six months. His fine which amounted to $175 was administered for attempting to Deaf his wife, after she had paid him various sums of mone on his promise never to return again, to his home which as long as, he had behaved himself had been a happy one. but which for the past ten years had been mademlserable because of his addiction to liquor. Last summer, realizing that he was going from bad to worse very rapidly. Mrs. Olson thought that it might prove beneficial to her husband to return to Sweden, where he had always lived a good life. She accordingly gave him money for his passage to the' old country. He returned last Friday and went to the house in an intoxicated condition. Mrs. Olson gave him $10 and told him to go away and never return. He returned soon after with a pair of black eye3 and asked for more money. On her refusal to give it to him he attacked her and she swore out a warrant for his arrest. SANITARY DISTRICT IS NEEDED (Continued from Page One.) pollutes the drinking water of all the cities dependent upon the lakes for their supply, he characterized as the filthiest of anything he had ever en countered. He also absolutely discredited the efficiency of filters in purifying the water that comes out of household taps, declaring that all a filter can do Is to make the water more appetizing, by taking out the dirt. "The dirt." declared the speaker, "is not harmful. It is not what you can seen in the water, that causes sickness to the consumers. It. is the invlible bacteril which no filter can eradicate. A filter is all right if you boil the water that passes through it." Not long ago the commercial "clubs of this region took up the matter of a sanitary district, and appointed com mittees to get together with a view of arriving at some definite conclusion re garding it. The committees met but decided that each citv would best look after, its own sewage problem. Mr. Brewster pointed out that this would be a poor arrangement, restult ing only In Increased cost of. the original plants required, and in trebling the erpense of maintenance. This would make it so expensive to each community, that it would be a burden to the tax-payers to install and main tain efficient systems. He pointed out the fact that whether the cities interested ever united in one municipality or not, they would be so built up as to eventually converge physicially, and that here was a propo sition that they might at least unite on first as last. "All of the sewage should be treated chemically," declared the speaker, "and it takes a chemist, and a good one to lok after this business, with a corps of good assistant. One chemist could do the work for all three citie, as well as for one, at the same salary as a good chemist would demand from one city A common plant would cost but littl more than would an adequate plant for each city separately, and would cost little more for its maintenance. The three cities together could support such an institution with ease, but for each city to undertake to care for the sewage adequately with a separate system would be ia pretty extravagant proposition. A few of the worst sources of pollution were named. These included the Hammond glue works, the gas works, the glucose plant and the chemical works at Grasselli. The Hammond distillery was said to be productive of no very serious pollution since the feeding of cattle on the premises had been dispensed with. The water at East Chicago, while sufficiently bad, was said to be better than the water at Hammond and Whiting, on account of its distance from South Chicago. But when thj current is toward the Easti It is extremely bad even at the East Chicago plant, but It is fairly satisfactory when the current is toward the west. There was a good crowd present to

listen to the talk, and at Us conclusion, the secretary was directed to write to state chemist H. E. Barnard for all the statistics available that would be of use

in creating a sanitary district. V FOREIGNER ATTACKS, ' MARSHAL (Continued from Page One.) had a thrilling experience in his effort to take Dojon into custody. He walked into the Gary postofflce and placing his hand on Dojon's shoulder he informed him that he was under arrest. Dojon resisted and Jn a few minutes the other foreigners in the office made a rush at the officer and tried to take the prisoner away from him. t Officer Draws Gun. It became necessary for Rankin to draw his gun and stand off the crowd. If it had not been for the assistance of Hubert Highlands it is probable that Rankin would have had some difficulty In taking his prisoner. Rankin said af terwards that this was the first experience hehad had wth foreigners and that he would know how to handle a case like that in the future. Dojon has been arrested before on the same charge. It as this case in which I Leon Gould is alleged to have charged $75 for his services and as a result was arrested by Dojon on the charge of extortion. Gould Is now appearing against D6jon in this case and as a metter of revenge Is doing all he can to have him prosecuted. When Dojon was arested he paid back the $30. that he had . secured on the order, to ostmaster Call and thought he was immune from prosecution by the Federal authorities. The warrant for rojons arrest was sworn out by John N. Hunter of South Bend, a government postofflce inspector and the case is- being prosecuted by C. E. Nichols a United States District Attorney. Yesterday Attorney Foley of Indiana Harbor who is representing Dojon asked for a continuance. The postofflce authorities at Gary have made a very strict ruling in regards to the payment of money orders to foreigners and instruct all persons who Identify thefn that they do so at their own risk. It is necessary now that they present their citizen's papers before the mone will be paid at post office. ' , BO'S 10 OOli'T - WORK MUST LEAVE On account of the numerous rob beries that have occurred in Gary in the past two weeks Detectives Joseph Kertez and Louis ". Eisner, under in structions from Chief of Police Joseph Martin, , have begun a clean up of ne groes who refuse to work and are liv ing In Gary without any visible means of support. Chief, Martin is of the opinion that a number of these robberies have been caused' by these negroes. Two have already confessed to robbing the tailor shops at 752 and 532 Broadway, and are now awaiting their trial in the su perior court. Six negroes were arrested yesterday by Detectives Eisner and Kertez, and It was found upon investigation that two of them had bad records and had served sentences in the Jolice peniten tiary and Cook county jail for robbery These were James Wilson and Edward Pope. At their trial before Judge Wlldermuth this, morning they were sent to the county Jail for thirty days on a charge ofvagrancy. WHITING MAN LOSES SIGHT. - (Special to Thb Times.) Whiting. Ind., Feb. 16. Thomas Mathews, ' of New York avenue, who has beren working at the Standard Oil company," met with an accident about a week ago in which a piece of steel lodged in his eye. It was at first thought that it would be possible to save the sight, but the eye specialist who Is now treating him learns this to be an impossibility and it will be necessary to have the member removed. nocked Daylights Out of Rheumatism New Kheumatigm Remedy Is Antidote For Uric Acid.

GERMANS WANT BEER LICENSE (Continued from Page One.) beer lienses," said Senator Proctor. "I am inclined to favor the Idea of a cheaper special license for the exclusive sale of malt liquors. It has been suggested that such a license might result in the creation of blind tigers. So I suggest that we have severe penal ties for law violations. Proctor also said he would' place In the hands of the committee an amendment to abolish the free lunch from tha Baloon in Indiana. "I think dealers genearlly will agree that the free lunch has no place in the saloon business." said Proctor. He oroposed also to change the feature of the bill that proposes to keep the ignorant foreigner from entering the saloon business. "James Bingham, former attorney general, has suggested to me that we make ten years residence in this coun try necessary to the foreign born citizen who wants to get into the saloon business," said Proctor. "The wish is to provide against the foreign born citizen .who is not familiar with our habits and customs and who run his saloon along wrong lines through ignorance." Senator Proctor pointed out that the Proctor bill as it now stands provides for a $3,500 bond from the saloon keeper instead of $2,000. As to the license fee. Proctor said he would not argue from this point of view. "The high license fee set in this bill may be too high," said Proctor. "I leave that to the Judgment of the house. . John A. Riddle, of Linton, who said he was an attorney but an attorney without a client, appearing at his own expense to protest against certain features of the bill, attacked the limitation clause in the bill. "Your bill would give Linton seven saloons, according to her population," he said. "Who would get the seven licenses? Why, the men who are fleet of foot. I call this provision pernicious. This is a revenue bill. This proposition to limit the saloons to one license to each one thousand population ' is undemocratic. It violates the Jeffersonian principle of equal rights to all and special privileges to none. I say that If twenty-five men desire to contribute to the school fund by paying liquor license fees even on a losing business proposition they should.be .permitted to do so. That is their business. The question is shall we have a monoply. This provision would mean a political scramble for the few licenses to be allowed. Shall a license be issued to one man because he is a Republican or to another man because he is a Democrat? I understand this idea was borrowed from Canada. I suppose It is 200 years old. i favor equal chances for all. I like the high license fee plan and better restriction. I am not for an exclusive license plan. Our trouble at Linton was because of too many road house saloons. , There never was any trouble with the saloons in Linton proper. We want the liquor men to have a fair chance when the time comes. Why, do you know, down our way the men who want to go back in the saloon business are planning right now to hold an election to determine what men sha'l have the seven licenses that would be granted at Linton under this bill." "Is Linton dry or wet, now?" asked Senator Proctor. "'Linton is wet by blind tiger dry theoretically," replied Mr. Riddle. Walter Gray of Muncle. who said he was an attorney, admitted to the committee before he ended his talk that he expected to have many saloon men for clients, and that he favored an unlimited number of saloons rather than th proposed Proctor limitation, which would give Muncle only twenty-five saloons where that city formerly- had eighty-three. " "We had as high as 117 saloons at Muncle when the city was wet," said Gray. "That was because the lieense fee was too low. I fouglit the saloons in my county and made dry speeches, i would do it again. But if we are to have saloons, I say, let us have an unlimited number, rather than a monoply by some certain brewery company. I think this bill would regulate the saloon. I have some saloon men for clients, and, o course. If the licenses are unlimited I will get some business. If the saloons are limited and controlled b a brewery the attorney for the brewery will do the business." "Then you are not attorney for a brewery company," demanded Mr. Flcmlr:. - "No I am not an attorney for brewery compcies." w,as the reply. Gray said that while dry Muncle would have only twenty-five saloons under the proposed law. Wet Richmond, a smaller city, would have sixry under the perpetuity of license clause. Hartford City, he said, with one fifth the population of Muncie, would have twenty-five saloons under this law. "You are against saloons?" asked Senator Proctor. "Yes, I worked against them and made speeches against them and voted dry. I would do it again," said Gray. "And yet you favor an unlimited number of saloons, if you are to have them at Muncle?" "Yes, sir, I am against monoply."

SWA That's all," said Proctor. Walter Lotz, formerly of Muncle, now of Hammond, talked against the limita tion clause. , George Thorp, a Muncle ' attorney. also spoke against limitation. R. C. Mlnton called attention to ths fact that the Proctor bill provides no safeguard to prevent an applicant when charged with crime from transferring his license to another person. Senator Fleming late showed that this weakness had been remedied by amendment. Minton, who represents the Anti-Saloon League as attorney, went over Some conflicting section in the bill with the committee after the meeting, and assisted in smoothing out rough places. ' Senator Fleming talked briefly, closing the argument. He said the plan to limit the saloons according to popu lation was one of the Important features of the bill. He pointed out that while the law provides that co-partnerships and corporations may take out liquor licenses the law sets out that such co-partnerships or corporations must bo hotel companies and that they must show that they have twenty-five rooms in a. bona fide use for hotel purposes. Not more than one liquor license may be held by any one corporation under the bill, he said, and this provision would prevent the brewery monoply suggested in some of the arguments. He read the provisions to prevent the brewer from controlling the saloon man and called attention to the provision covering the sole ownership. of tho license, which must rest in the man who runs the saloon. He referred to the section of the bill which provides for the transfer of the liquor license and pointed to the bill's demand that the license holder who proposes to sell or transfer his license or to move and tnlrA tHA HritnsA In anftthAr 1(.r9tlATl mint ! advertise for twenty days in a news paper and notify the public of his purpose. Fleming read an opinion written by Jan Indianapolis attorney to the effect j that the Proctor bill would not In fact give the license holder a vested right. or contractual right to his license. On the theory that a liquor license Is a : privilege and not contract, he argued, that no vested rights in licenses would j result from the provisions of the bill if enacted into law. The proceedings of ,the county commissioners in granting liquor licenses are Judicial proceedings ! and they do not enter into contracts with men to whom they grant liquor 11-i-pnsni acnordlno- to the attorney cenI suited Dy r leming. several wni.cji 'opinions obtained by Fleming and Mih 'ton, of the Anti-Saloon League, were submitted to the committee. ' i "The man who does not agree that the saloon limitation feature, should jstay in this bill does not want the sa.loon question to be taken out of . politics." said Senator Fleming. "If Mr. Gray argues the high' license provisions and does not limit the number of galloons then I say we ought to have the .limitation fixed by law. Mr. Lotz. says that the limitation clause might .be fused as a political club for partisan purposes. I call his attention to the fact that the .bill provides for an ap- ' peal where the saloon man is. refused ;allcense without good cause, and that :the bill also provides that the county commissioner shall hold a place open , on the eligible list for the man who has an appeal pending." , . "This bill has been prepared in good faith. It has been said by good au'thorlties that the bill is the best of ita I kind ever drafted in the United States, lit has been said by its worst critics that jit is too good to pass. The newspapers I have praised it. I hope the committee (will recommend that the bll shall pass .the house as It passed the senate."
