the thieves had used a vehicle to cart
away their plunder. It Is believed that
there must have been a wagon waiting somewhere, as the bulk was too great
to have been carried off by a couple of
men. None of the doors were unlocked.

noticed that the night lamp was not

HOW GARY

FROM KNOTTS
(Continued 'from Page L)
for three years as towji president was
$3 a week and as mayor $125 per
month.
munity has the mayor dared to "order a policeman In uniform to slug a newspaper man and other citisens.
The blind pig days of 1909 when
Knotts was president of the town board gave striking examples of his disre
gard for the law. Although a remonstrance legally closed every saloon In Gary, yet but with a few exceptions, no
saloon closed its doors.
Permitted Blind Pigs.
Knotts in defiance of the Indiana statutes permitted the blind pigs to operate and gave as an excuse that the statute was a bad one. Thus placing
himself above the laws of the state and land. Gary's chief magistrate permitted thousands of violations of the law. It was only when Governor Marshall threatened to send state troops to Gary that the blind pigs were closed for a week. Feeling that they were above the law the blind pig men soon learned to defy it. Robberies and even murders were committed in many of the dives as a result of the license and free hand to violate the law. Finally when the hand of the law touched on the law violators it was Knotts and his city court that enabled them to escape. After the blind pig men were indicted in January, 1910, by the circuit court grand Jury, the defendants came into Knotts' court, pleaded guilty for all offenses for two years back, were fined, sentenced to
Jail and then had the latter punishment graciously remitted by their protector. When their cases came up in the circuit court the self-confessed defend
ants pleaded previous Jeopardy, and
thus through Knotts' aid they escaped
the law. Sensational Testimony. It w even shown by testimony la the circuit court that Mayor Knotts and hla police chief had frequented a blind pig conducted under the Knott a bank lm the baacraent of the Kaotta building! Later on mandamus proceedings were started by Attorney General Bingham to compel Knotts to issue his mittimus papers to send the blind pig men to Jail. It being claimed that he had no
rght to remit a sentence. Changes of! venue, delays and other legal devices peculiar to Lake county resulted in the cases being put off until after the state
election. A new attorney general.
Thomas Honon, then let them rest, and
so they will probably stay until time kills public sentiment so that they ean
be quashed.
In a political way Knotts has as
sumed the same characteristic atti
tude. His election to the mayoralty
(n 1909 is marked by many bloody trails, oe not only refused to go Into
the primaries with other democratic candidates, but by the aid of police power had himself nominated in his own convention and by the aid of the election commisisoners, the majority of
them his own appointees, his name was
placed on the ballot.
Costs Pour Lives.
Gary's ante-election days cost at
least four lives.
Election day, November, 1909, no In
diana city ever saw the spectacle that
Gary presented as a result of Knotts' high handedness. Six hundred armed
men walked the streets. Burly ne
groes and lawless ' foreigners armed
with clubs, guns and knives and sworn in as policemen at Knotts' behest, Intimidated and clubbed voters. One hundred rufflians imported from the Chicago stockyards worked as repeaters and sluggers and one of them, Mike Yoconovtch, alias "Dog Face Charley,"
was appointed a city detective. Knotts
was elected by a majority of 76 votes. Riot and Bloodshed.
Election day, 1910, saw conditions no
bettered. Knotts' own chief of police, Joseph D. Martin, was the democratic candidate for sheriff. Once more Gary witnessed the same degrading spectacle of riots. Intimidation and clubbing of
nnocent voters. The climax came In the
evenng when Knotts ponce orncers
fired point blank at Sheriff Grant and
a force of deputies, men uog race
tried to murder the latter and was only
frustrated in his attempt by the quick action of the sheriff's body guard. "Dog
Face's" subsequent confession as to who hired him to murder the sheriff
astounded the officials at Crown Point,
who had no idea that such deep plots had "een laid, This election, which cost one life and many broken heads, was the cue for the Lake circuit grand Jury to return its Indictment against Knotts ahd twelve of his city officials .last December. Their trial will come up In June. At that tme Knotts and his aids
will have to answer, charges for conspiring to murder the sheriff, conspiring to intimidate voters and other conspiracy accustatlons. Other Black Pages. Some black pages were written during Knotts' term as city Judge. Mayors of fifth class cities presided over the municipal court and during one year, from November, 1909, until November, 1910, while Knotts sat on the city wool sack, more than 3,126 of Gary's 16,802 inhabitants were arrested.

ma. and many of them committed ' no offense save political 'ones. Actual persecution on the "part "of Knotts as was shown In cases appealed to the circuit court" are without precedent. One of the victims of Knotts rage, Everett G. Ballard, an attorney. Incurred the 111 will of the adminis
tration. As a result One cold winter's day his family was evicted from their home by police agents. Although suit for possession had been started no legal papers were secured for the eviction. The furniture was hurled into tha street by the "wrecking cfew," and Mr. Ballard's grandmother, a Mrs. Carver, 88 years old, a resident of- Alexandria, weakened by the exposure, died last summer as a result of her injuries. ' Thrown Into Jail. Ballard himself was then arrested and thrown into Jail. .Although many people offered bonds for his release Mayor Knotts disappeared and the prisoner was kept In a cell reeking . with, water and filth and heated to an abnormal degree. Two months ago testimony' brought out in a later trial developed that Knotts hid In the city engineer's home so that bond could not be secured for Ballard. ' In matters Of public policy Knotts has ever been against the people. ' Because Gary is a new city . miles of
streets, sewer and sidewalk contracts have been at his disposal. But outside companies had but little chance wltii the Gary Construction company,' of which A. F. Knotts, the mayor's brother, is the head, and Its twin sister, the Cain Construction company. Usually If one did not get the contract the other did. ' 'i Citizens Allege Steal. " . These .two companies with their high prices soon began to tell on the taxpayer's pocketbook. Metropolitan brick, the officials of which company are now under indictment in the Chicago federal courts, was used almost exclusivey. . . , ,.- : , City engineering employes who protestedagainst the steal that, was going on by the change of specifications soon found themselves oui; of a position, and many a poor ' devil who bought a Gary lot soon lost it as the assessments soon cost n.o'r ; than the lot did. t " ' . ;.": ' Two of Knotts' actions of recent date served to arouse publt: . indlia.tiori. One was last fall when In a tie- in, the council he voted to let a fat c6ntract to the highest bidder, the.CE.lh Construction company. - Early this year he displayed the same pernicious '. activity when he voted as a member'' of the board of pubic works to award. 'a; f 113,000 contract once more to .thetjCain Construction company. Altho'ugh-i'iero was a bidder for $107,000. First street assessment payers were mulcted out of
$,000 by this action.

In Knotts' administration there have
been many blacjc things done in Gary
Vice and crime have been rampant.
Elections nave been stolen, rufflians
imported and sluggers hired. Arbl
trary arrests and imprisonment, police persecution, the same as is in vogue In Russia, characterises Knotts' term on
the city bench. Letting contracts to highest bidders, notorious traction grants, fleecing of the poor by construction company assessments are
some more of the misdeeds. Countenancing blind pigs, gambling and
brothels, where the white Slav traffic has been carried on. and where scores of young men have been ruined in body
and soul, are Incidents that are count
less. .
Suffered From Misrule.
No other Indiana city has suffered as much as Gary from 'misrule. Its destinies directed by a lawless mayor and a city council made up mostly of saloonkeepers have not given It any glory. And no other city in America has one-fifth of Its population arrested and imprisoned ' while a political etfar mad with power, was given Judicial authority and who used It without mercy upon those who dared to criticize him.
