TWO EDITORS AT THE GARY HOTEL George M. Ray, managing editor of the Indianapolis Herald, was in Gary yesterday. The Herald is owned by Tom Taggart. Ray did not mention the nature of his business. Ex-Mayor Hunt of Gas City, Ind., Is in town looking over the prospects for starting a newspaper and printing shop. Kditor Hunt has been conducting a daily In Gas City until recently and he owns a large job establishment ther. During the past six months he has been traveling through the country studying printing and newspaper conditions. He was in Gary two years ago and he now believes that the time is ripe te move his plant from Gas City to Gary. John A.

ino majors oim-o After the council meeting was over man and Hemor J. Carr. . Editor Falls for the Taffy. A few weeks ago Carr-nd his newspaper were referring to Cattleman as j the "bogus alderman," "Cassy. the bogus," etc., but he Is now addressed as ' "Mr. Castleman" and "'Councilman Castleman." From w hat can be learned the champeen of the pe-pull has promised the Broadway editor a place on the park board and he already has him on a "citizens' committee." Hence the profound attitude of respect. Castleman. It is said, has promised some sixty-nine others similar places and as many more "concessions" and fat jobs when he gets In control of the Miller lake front. Qwrnl ef Rrprnrntadoa. Predictions that Gary will be just as far ahead two years from now In the Miller lake front deal Is made by those who have been watching the situation. Miller trustees say that they will not yield up their lake front control until they get equal representation on the park board. This Gary will not grant. Miller People Are Suspicion. Then again several Miller citizens are suspicious of the Gary city hall crowd, and they promise a court fight If Knotts or Castleman attempt to invade the town. ' -. The talk of "concessions" and the visits of several brewery agents to Miller lately has given a. sinister ascept to the park deal, and this, along with the high prices some ot the aldermen want to pay, has given rise to many ugly stories.
