RADING CONFERENCE IS Mil

There was a flying: of feathers at the triple-plated cortference of the Gary Commercial club, the Ketail Merchants association and the Butchers and Grocers puild at the Commercial club last nifcht over the horr. trading slogan. Following the session of the Commercial club I'resident H. S. Norton

opened up the meeting of the three

bodies, the merchants, butchers and grocers having asked for a Joint conference. The principal plea was put up by Freeldent Kothermcl of the grocer and butchers who stated that although there were 32 bakeries In Gary most of the merchants were buying their bakery goods out of town. This was quiet a bombshell. It was agreed that I'resident Norton should name two committees, tone to look into the home trade movement, and another to draft a high license for bakers. Buy Home Beer Alno. Simultaneous with this homo trade movement comes the news that the saloonmen want their customers to trade at home. Out of town breweries have been supplying the Gary family trade with cases. An effort will be made to make all Garyltes buy beer from home dealers by means of enforcing a license on the breweries. Some of th Gary printers today

charged that the cards for the trade a

home movement were being printed In

Chicago and that this was a tine piece '

of inconsistency.

the Inland mill in any way, but they were a reflection on the town and he suggested that the club take some steps calculated to make the editor of the Daily Calumet adhere more closely to the truth in his utterances in future. The Industrial committee was instructed1 to report at the next meeting regarding the matter. In the meantime, club members were unstinted in their condemnation of the policy of the Calumet in publishing as facts, statements with no foundation in truth. A proposition from Columbus Behan to the club to purchase 1,300 feet of film showing views from East Chicago and the Harbor, was laid over. Letters from a number of industries in answer to Secretary Rutledge's- request for donations to fcend a comlttee to Washington to meet with the Congressional committee on Rivers and Harbors, were read, $1,250 was nodated for

the city council of Gary as the Dean heating franchise and which was the cause of the bribery scandal at Gary. At the time of the arrest of the mayor Dean alleged that he handed the $5,000 to Knotts. He had the sheriff in readiness to find the money on Knotts, which the sheriff did, and this Is the

money for which no one seems willing to go Into court and prove ownership. .. Papers were served on Mayor Knotts yesterday afternoon, citing him to appear before the judge on Dec. 13 and prove ownership, but the general opinion seems to be that the mayof will not answer the summons. , " The officials wish to return the money to the right owner. The amount is tempting, but there seems to be something about the large "wad" that does not look good to any one. The serving of papers on Knotts fol

lowed a summons served on Sheriff Grant In a case wherein the Michigan Avenue Trust company of Chicago seeks to make Sheriff Grant defendant. The Chicago concern Is said to have furnished Wean with the $5,000 alleged bribe money. Sheriff Grant desires that Mayor Knotts' name be substituted as defendant. If Knotts fails to claim the money it may be turned over to the county to help pay some of the costs of the bribery trials.

J. Block, A. G. Lundquist and A. G. Slocomb directors. There was no opposition to the candidacy of Messrs. Allen for treasurer and C. L. Kirk for the vice presidency, but for the presidency John R. Karovld opposed Judge Riley and Mr. McRae ran for secretary against Mr. Crites. The directors whose terms expired were E. J. Block, W. C. Dickey and A. G. Slocomb, Mr. Dickey being the only one to step out, his place

being fille-d by Mr. Lundquist, the retiring president. Judge Riley Is especially well qualified to fill the office of president, his name being closely asociated with almost every new plant established In the Twin Cities In years, and he being a large property owner, a man of unquestioned integrity, energy and executive ability and one who has always stood ready to give of his tme his effort and money, to further all public enter

prises. Mr. Crites is a young lawyer who will do well as the club secretary, although he has a large pair of shoes to fill in taking unto himself those out of which the able ex-Incumbent H. C. Rutledpre has stepped.

President ' Lundquist retires with

honor, the club having accomplished much during his regime, promoting

many worthy enterprises and general ly finishing what is started.

Mesrs. Allen and Kirk have served In

the offices to which they were reelected, so long as to require no comment as to their capabilities. A communication from P. I.
