No appointment has been made as the third member of the board to succeed
Commissioner John J. Nyhoff, who was
ousted yesterday by Mayor Knotts.
"If I lied concerning: the passage of
the Geist franchise," said Mr. Nyhoff to
day, "then Mr. Melton, Miss Carpenter,
who acted as the stenographer at the
board meeting, and Attorney Oliver Starr, who was a'so present, lied. I have affidavits from all the above named people to the effect that my
statement published in the papers was
true. I think the' word of these per
sons will stand against that of Thomas E. Knotts, mayor of 3ry, any day."

RESIGNATION

started -ouster proceedings against two of the aldermen and It now stands ready to rid Gary of its greatest burd
en, Knotts, who has hindered the city's progress more than any other man.
Tho general indignation against
Knotts because of his action In directing the traction franchise was further Increased when the city executive was
arrested last night on the charge of be
ing a common embezzler. These facts coupled with all of his previous misdeeds, his Indictment by the grand jury on conspiracy charges which even Included the terrible black accusation of onsplring to murder the sheriff of the county have gone far and wide much to the eityla shame.
Gut Feels Ita Shame. Founded to be a model city Gary now
sorely feels the shame Imposed upon
it by its chief magistrate and public sentiment now demands a change.
Will AVatt o Longer. Yesterday wheSi the cali for the
special meeting of the Commercial
Club was issued the directors Issued a
statement that It was for the express
purpose of discussing the Geist traction
matter.
However, with the disgrace imposed
upon the city by the arrest of Knotts
last night, it was decided to delay ac
tion no longer and from how on the
chief energies of the Commercial Club
will be devoted to getting rid of the mayor. Every One OecIved. Although Knotts careei Is replete with trickery and deception many thought that be would turn over a new leaf following his indictment. And for a while it looked as if Gary might get some peace. Theft Cnarvre the Climax. The climax came with his arrest last night. Patience is exhausted and on all sides it is now realized that unless Gary gets a new mayor it will be scorned far and wide. Business has been imperiled as a result of Knotts' conduct, the city treasury Is bankrupt, and bankers are in despair. Bankers In Deapnlr. Big banking institutions when asked to loan money for building development in Gary draw their strings at once. They answer their refusal by
of Manufacturers Surplus Stocks which has been pronounced the greatest bonafide Bargain Event of its kind by many of the thousands of customers that continually swarmed the broad aisles of this great Store ever since the Sale opened last Monday morning. One More Day Remains Many new lots of Bargains will be placed on Sale tomorrow and prices will be cut to still lower levels on most everything: that yet remains. Sale Closes Tomorrow

pointing to an apparently corrupt government, cite the indictments, the(high handedness, the crime, the murders, the robberies and the graft games. Of late bankers have found it impossible to get money for Gary because of Ha government.. Further desertions in Knotts' cabinet are expected to follow. It is said that City Attorney Curtis, Safety Commissioners White and Borman expect to quit also. Last week Mr. Curtis was taken 111. Three or four days ago he left the city. It is said that he foresaw what was coming an ddid not want to be embarrassed by being present when the final blow came.

to such a pitch as they were last night and today.
When the- warrants were read to Mayor Knotts last night by deputy J sheriff he laughed in his bold and i brazen manner, but he was visibly disturbed. On the three warrants he gave : bonds to the amount of $5,000 and was
released. Conference Takinc I a re. All day long Mayor Knotts has been closeted with his brother A. F. Knotts and other attorneys formulating some plans to meet the inevitable which may come. ' Although he declared today to
a few of the followers he has left, that
he will have no trouble in clearing himself of the charges his face betrays his anxiety and worry. Knotts' main defense to the charges filed by Clerk Moose is that the full amount of his shortage is now on deposit in his bank in Gary in the name of t!te city judge of Gary. Of course that s easily arranged. Knotts also claims that Richard Winkler his former clerk of the court was short in his accounts but this 'does not even clear the mayor as he was under bond and Winkler was not. Charge Long Known. Tub Times has known of the charges for several months. Just before leaving Gary Richard Winkler, the clerk of the court, called at The Times office. When asked concerning Knotts' alleged shortage he told a Times reporter that it was true. Winkler was also asked whether he himself was short in
his accounts, but this he denied and stated that every day he had deposited the fires- collected in the Gary Trust & Savings Bank. Winkler also stated that a number of attorneys ho had stayed fines, were back In their payment, one to the extent of several hundred dollars. Knotts now not only declares that he has covered Winkler's shortage but the whole amount "is deposited in the name of the city Judge at his bank.
