would make no difference with him. "1 have gone to the expense of placing the case in court and It is now awaiting trial and I see no reason why I should have it dismissed. I have felt all along that I was elected over Mr. Moose, but cannot see why his former friends have turned against him and are willing to produce evidence that
he was not elected. The case will come

of the past two days, as I intended it

the court's decision."

EDITOR'S .
MOTION IGNORED (Continued from Page L)
committee had been appointed and the
mayor and council had seen fit to ig
nore It, yet the report of the committee would be read nevertheless. While the franchise is row seemingly passed.
yet the recommendations show the
public's mind about it and if in the
courts the franchise should be knocked
out they would have some weight If
they ever came up again.
Horace Grerly Jr. Is n on ted.
A resolution was offered by Homer Carr of the Gary Tribune condemn
ing Mayor Knotts and the others for
passing the franchise. However, as the
call specifically stated what business
would come up before the house, none but the report could be handled, so the
motion was declared out of order.
There was considerable indignation
when Carr offered his resolution.
Everybody Gets Suspicions. It was not so much that those pres
ent did not believe that Knotts should
not, be condemned but they were suspicious of any condemnation issuing
from Carr. During the city campaign
his supposedly republican organ sup
ported Knotts in preference to the re
publican mayoralty candidate, John A.
Brennan.
During Knotts administration Carr
has ever been at his heels seeking to grab such of the city printing that he could as a price of the Tribune's silence. In fact, on One occasion when
the printing contrats were fat, the
Tribune even put its editorial stamp of approval upon vice by praising Knotts' toleration of a red light district by the
segregation method. When the printing contracts were less in number Carr's enthusiasm waxed dimmer until he turned around and fought Knotts altogether.
When Knotts sought to prevent the
First National bank, of which Carr is a director, from getting the six per cent interest on thousands of dollars worth ,
of city warrants by means of a four per cent bond issue, Carr saw Knotts in another light. That is the reason why Carr's resolutions got no further. The club was in no mood to give solace to people who have eaten sour grapes. Gist of the Report. The committee recommendations as read by Chairman John A. Brennan and which were adopted, include: Disaprpoval of the lack of a forfeiture clause. The paragraph that the company shall operate within three years after it gets franchises elsewhere is too indefinite. The .franchise gives the company the city streets for fifty years, if only a mere pretense of building is made. No provisions for switch track supervision by public works board. The committee does not believe that the people want the streets turned over
to a corporation for fifty years by
meant of this franchise. Some Recommendations. The report, which was signed by Mr.
Brennan, S. J. Watson, Frank Borman, E. N. White, A. D. Schaeffer and George Maniove, made these recommendations: That the company be required to
start building within eighteen months
and be in operation within three years. That a $20,000 bond be named as penalty for failure to comply with the terms of its franchise. In case the company does not get franchises elsewhere and does not start to build within the time stated, that it forfeit all rights to the strtets of Gary. The city to get a. percentage of the earnings and have the right to appoint expert accountants to see that it gets its share. Recommends the use of rails weighing more than ninety pounds. Provisions concerning high voltage
wires. Mayor Knotts Makes Defense. Mayor Knotts was present and made an address and gave these reasons for his part in passing the franchise, although he said nothing wry the Commercial club commltee was ignored and why the traction grab was rushed through the council: "People are mistaken if they think that he gave the franchise to the "capitalists at their own terms." "He had the franchise rewritten twice . and had fifty bad things chopped out of it. "He put in a whole day and part of one evening doing the chopping. "Gelst didn't get what he asked for by
any means.
Not any one item that cannot be
successfully defended.
If Geist don't build, tho Gavlt line
can get a franchise.
Capitalists won't build street car
lines where franchises have teakettles tied 'to them.
If the franchise is too liberal we
have made a mistake. But I fall to see where it is too liberal."
Hodges Strongly Arralgss Knotts. Mayor Knotts defense tiiat capital
ists won't build street cur lines on franchises with teakettle appendages, was upset by Attorney Hodges, who
recalled the fact that thrro years ago Knotts had opposite views when a mil
lion dollar corporation souiht a fran
chise in competition with Frank N. Gavlt, who got it. Hodges recalled the
fact that Knotts then granted a fran
chise when ninety per cent of the peo
ple were against it, but it was granted nevertheless.
Hodges also pointed out that the
Geist people could build three years after they had other franchises. "Will
that be six years from now that they get them . Then our streets can be tied up for nine years. When will they complete their lines God only knows. "Mayor Knott has Just said that Gavlt won't build and that's why he had to give a franchise to Geist. Then why did the city stop Gavit when he went to build on Fifth avenue a couple of weeks o? "Here Is the Suspicion Part. "Here is the suspicious part. About the time the franchise passed the board of public works the Commercial club took it up. What was done when it came up in the council? Was it deferred? It was not; it was passed. Then instead of vetoing, Krotts signed it. If this franchise was good it" could bear inspection, and if it was bad the people ought to know about it- It is their right as citizens. The motto of this town is: We have had a craiy engineer at the throttle since the beginning of the town
Mr. Hodges' speech was roundly applauded.
GARY STEEL PLANT TO FURNISH STEEL
j The Gary steel plant will i furnish steel for a brand new Michigan City Industry. Trade announcements' that the Haskell and Barker company's plans for a $1,250,000 steel car works to be added to their Michigan City car
works have been completed, were given out this morning. First inkling of the company's intentions were given
out exclusively a month ago when The
Times stated that the E., J. & El rail
way would extend its lines- to the car plant. The new steel car plant will have a main building 300x1,100 feet. There will also be auxiliary buildings for pattern, power and machine shops. Heretofore the company has confined jjta activities to wooden cars, but the allsteel product is also to be made. Steel from the Gary mills will be used in the building of the cars. Later on jthe company may , bulid its own steel works and blast furnaces. If this is done the Calumet ateel blt Instead of having its eastern termlnis at Gary will extend its boundaries as far as Michigan City, twenty-six rriles away.
