GARY CLUB ENJOYS A SPIERDED OUTING YESTERDAY

1.

The D. N. I. Y. club, composed of officials from the Indiana Steel com pany, the American Bridge company, the Gary Land company, the American Sheet and Tlnplate company and a number of prominent business and professional men of Gary held a plenic at Dixon's Grove, Long Lake near" Valparaiso on Saturday ana ounauy as the guests of Pentus Helntz and Harry Sommen. There were nearly flfty in the party and to say they had a good time would be putting It mildly. What with the bear steak dinner Saturday night, the chicken dinner Sunday noon, boating. fishing, music and other amusements there was something doing every mtnule. The Iwo club houses were at the disposal of the party and there was ample sletping quarters for all. One of the amusing incidents that happened 'shortly afttr tht arrival of the party occurred when Peter Lamb Harry Sommers and R. G. Parry at tempted to get into a small boat anchored at one of the piers. Mr. Lamb was attempting to take his seat in the stern of the boat when he lost his bal ance and consequently he and Parry were ducked In the shallow water. Sommers managed to Jump on the pier, where he assisted the others to a place of safety. An effort will be made to secure him a Carnegie medal for hlj heroic work. Morris Cox dressed In enginer's overalls and cap was grand marshal of the day and wore a tin star the size of a dinner plate. About twelve o'clock after most of the members of the party were sleeping, James Ward and five other members of his band arrived and serenaded the party. Thinking that their music failed to please those who NEW SENSATIONS (Continued "'Bribery!' repeated Knotte, and never forget. "There is the money in the desk, just then Albert Morris reached over laid out full length."

There has been some question in the minds of the people of Lake county as to whether or not Dean has enough evidence against Knotts to assure his conviction. It is admitted that the fact that Deputy Sheriffs George Blocki and Albert Morris found an envelope in Knotts, desk containing the $5,.000,

which Knotts is alleged to have taken, Evidence Must Corroborate. Knotts could claim that he signed have slipped $5,000 into his desk, but and consent. In other words there before Knotts could be convicted on Attorney Claude V. Rldgely cleared

morning in which he said:. "There was a dictagraph in, Knotts offlce at the time the money was passed. By a contrivance attached to this Instrument it is not only able to record the conversation on a phonographic record, but a number of witnesses were able to hear the conversation at the same time. In this case there were three witnesses who heard the conversation and we have the stenographic and phonographic records under lock and key. When the trial begins the court and jury will be able to hear, in Knotts' own voice, all he said to Dean." George Blocki said this morning: "From what I can learn from Dean the dictagraph will record a conversation something like this: (Dean speaking) 'According to my count the money is 1100 short.' (Knotts speaking) "No, I have counted it and it Is all there.' " Has a Bad Look. This is In addition to the rest of the conversation which has already been reported. Blocki points out that if three witnesses heard Knotts say this and if the dictagraph repeats it in his own voice, it looks like a conclusive ease against the mayor. Getting back to the question, "Who Is Dean?" THE TIMES has it from a man connected with the prosecution of this case that Dean is reported to have Eaid: "We have a hundred per cent better case in Gary than we had at Columbus." And the Burns agency handled the Columbus cases.

That Dean is a detective or is connected with any detective agency ia vigorously denied by his mother. "My son is not a detective, but a business man," said Mrs. Mary Dean, moth er of the alleged bribe given, at her I home. 604 West Oak street. Mrs. Dean said he left Louisville spven or eight months ago to apply for the steam heating franchise in Gary. In speaking ot the case the Chicago Tribune says today: "The evidence In the grafting prosecution alone is enough to - satisfy an amateur like me," said Dean. "I have seventeen records and seventeen witnesses, among them the leading citizens of Gary." "Further than that, the evidence of perjury that the case will bring out is of far greater importance, and it will be the biggest affair of the sort I was ever mixed up in. "There is nothing in the way of successful prosecution by crooked Juries. That's the worst trouble I foresee, and it is a serious one. Something must be done to prevent that, and what I can do in that way I shall do." NyhofT to H Arrested. John J. Nyhoff, former commissioner of public works at Gary, had expressed worry lor fear he would be arrested. Dean gave him definite assurance that he would be. He signed the information on Saturday and turned It over to his lawyers, Hodges and Ridgely, who, it is expected, will ask to be named as special prosecujors. j Dean told of the reasons why he left Gary before nightfall on Friday. "When I came into town," he said, "a ' friend met me at the station and asked ; me what I had with me. 'Nothing,' I j said. 'For God's sake, take this and j go straight to your hotel,' he cried, I and slipped a revolver in my pocket. When I got to the hotel I took it out' and threw it away. I don't carry a gun. - i "A little, later another friend, close in touch with the city hall, came to me. j He told me there was a plan to arrest! me In the hotel on a trumped up charge, j carry me to Jail, and slug me. It was to be a -good job leaving no chance of my ever testifying. "Then a policeman, friendly to me, stole in and gave me the same story. He added that I was to bo shot shot ' through the head. - A gun was "to be slanted beside me and the story was

had returned early they marched through the hall ways and were not satisfied till all were dragged from their beds. Every one was compeled to dress again and a big camp fire was

builded. The second club house situat ed in the woods about two hundred yards away was the next scene of at tack, but upon arrival It was found to be deserted. The sleepers had taken their cots and bedding and were scattered all over the woods but they were hunted down and compeled to Join la the parade. Quite a number spent the night on their cots In the open air as the night was a beautiful one and there was not trouble from mosquitoes. And so through the entire two days was filled with such amusing incidents. Fishing was not the best and few catches were made. The only person to return to Gary with a catch of the finny tribe was D. L. Creighton of the American Sheet and Tlnplate company. Upon arriving at Gary he found three perch in his basket about two Inches long. Although the rest of the party Insisted that he caught them he remembered nothing of It. The return trip was made to Gary late Sunday aft ernoon. Those in the party wre Maurice Cox, H.

PROTEST GAME TO BE REPLAYED (Continued from Page1 the league, and while Crown Point feels keenly the loss, it cannot with fairness complain of the decision, according to the opinion of those who heard th testimony. ' The decision was most crucial, coming as it did so near the close of the season, and Crown Point is determined to win back tho lost laurels when the protested game is replayed, while Whiting is equally determined, to maintain its own position in th league. ' It had been expected to take care of all of the protested games of the season at Saturday's meeting, but this was impossible. The Crown Point- Whiting protest, was first taken up, owing o the fact that Crown Point was on hand with a large number of witnesses, who might find it difficult to attend another meeting. The hearing took up so much of the time that nothing else was considered of the acceptance of the withdrawal of a protest on a game played between Indiana Harbor and Hammond, last July. The protest had been by Hammond. All the directors were present, as were the officers, and there was quite a number of ball players and interested fans, outside the witnesses who had been gathered together to testify in the protested games. It was found necessary for the directors to withdraw to an- inner-roro and whila-the pro ceedlngs were In progress no one was admitted excepting Tho Times repre sentative and the witnesses, one at a time. The gams between Whiting and Crown Point regarding which the pro test was entered, waa Umpired by Ueorgo Clapper. It was played at Crown Point Aug. 27. Crown Point was at bat with Hennlng on first when McGrath hit ball between 1st and sec ond into right field. H,ennlng ran to second and started for third. The right fielder in an effort to throw the ball ' to third base, threwIt over the third baseman's head and into the crowd. Henning, wh owas on base, and McGrath, who had hit the ball, both scored for Crown Point. According to the rules of all the bail parks outside of Crown Point it has always ben customary for a runner to take the base headed for and one more If he can get it, on a wild throw to first or third bases. This rule' obtains -- only IK tn Northern Indiana Baseball association but Is generally observed throughout the country. Crown Point, has, ac cording to the testimony, certain rules peculiar to itself, but as there had been no time for discussion previous to the game in question, it was taken for granted by Whiting that the rules com mon to the balance of the league clubJ would prevail. This being the case the hit in question should have been a twi bagger in order to have permitted both runs to have counted, and the official score showed this to be the case. Both scorers were present and called In ai witnesses. The Crown Point scorer stated that he believed it to be a tw.i base hit, and as such- nve McGrath credit for a two bagger. The Whiting scorer in his account said that he believed it to be a single and argued with the Crown Point scorer about allowing McGrath more than a single. However, the home scorer, being the official scor er, he was powerless- to do otherwise than to acept his view. The rules state that where there is any dispute between scorers the umpire should decide the question. When Umpire Clapper was called to testify, he stated to the directors that it would be impossible by the wildest stretch of imagination, to call the hit anything more than a sinle, and had there beeen no one on the bases, the batter would never have thought of taking more than one base on the hit. The evidence given by the Crown Point witnesses, varied In a great many essential details. . One . witness even testified that the ball was fielded by the center fielder whereas others testified that the ball went about midway between first and second and still others that it was right along close to the first base foul line. The position of the batsman after passing first base was also in dispute, some stating that he was near first base when the ball wa thrown, while others placed him all the way from midway between the . two bases, to having passed second. On the other hand the evidence of the Whiting men agreed In every detail, the same being supported by the umpires testis? onv. After the evidence was all in the sec retary, president and Tikes man were requested to step out while the direc tors discussed the evidence the discus sion lasting tr about ten minutes. The

secretary was then asked to return to
