GARY CUI COUIICIL MEETS

In the Absence of Mayor Knotts the Boys Have a Quiet Little Time.

THE MAYOR'S WINGS MAY

BE CLIPPED HOWEVER

When Mayor Knotts of Gary returns

from Cuba he will be surprised and

Kratlfied to see what a well behaved

common council he has. The council

met lass night and transacted business in a methodical way and incidentally

introduced some new rules for its government, which if passed, clips in

many ways the legislative powers of

the mayor.

Ordinances considered last night in

cluded:

Fassage of one re-establishing the

Bertillon bureau of identification. Th salary'of the Bertillon operative Is to be $110 and of the photographer $50. Passage '-. of appropriation ordinance Riving $500 to the board of health expense account. Heretofore It was the council's short-sghted policy to disregard the most vital department of the, city. To Kegnlate Car Stops. Gave second reading to an ordinance requiring street cars to stop on the near side of the street crossing. Instructed the mayor to sell assessment lens on alley 18, south. Took steps to provide the city judge with a court clerk. Considered an ordinance to raise the pay of the chief street Inspector from $1320 to $1800. He has eighteen deputy Inspectors under him. Their duties are to see that the street contractors are "honest." Sew Role Mystify. Alderman Rowley introduced art-

other set of rules for the government of the common council. -Ho cays that the rules are "to provide for r.ew committees." Since the old committees were named by the committee on committees Alderman Baukus has fled the city. Alderman Castleman was thrown out of the council. Alderman Gibson died, and City Clerk Moose has been sent to prison. Because of this it has been necessary to name a special committee every time a new ordinance Is introdued. Enslehart Raises Row. . As under the present method the ouncil, instead of the mayor, will name the committees. One noticeable feature is that the provision whereby the mayor can name the impeachment has been chopped out. The council will do the naming. Aderman Englehart raised a row In

the council when the measure was

read, claiming that It was a "frameup."

He was appointed chairman of a committee to investigate the rules, being named by Alderman Gallagher, presi

dent pro tenv of th& council.

conveyed to Monastir, thrown Into

prison and sentenced to death. He

managed, through friends and by

bribery, to secure a stay of sentence.

For two years and eight month he was confined in the fortress at Monastir during which time he was half starved and receved many floggings. Finally his mother succeeded in

raising $1800 by the sale of property which she took to Monastir. Here by

bribing soldiers and jailers the young

man's release was effected. He escaped to Italy, thence to Tripoli and made

his way to America. He has had no news of his mother for some months

and does not know whether she Is liv

ing. Tnrk Despoil Women.

"In our Albania there are 1,600,000

people of but whom 200,000 are Christians," said Kosman. "Albania, as you have read, is sid

ing with Turkey but as the Turks are

in the majority they are doing the siding. "Life for the Christians is a continu

ous hell in Albania. The Turk's treatment of the women and children is awful. Any Turk Is privileged to

come and lake a Christian man's wife

or daughter. He Assassinates Two.

"If a Christian gets married the Turks invariably steal his bride and keep her for awhile. There Is no re

dress for him. But our men get even by assassinating these devils from

time to tme. The world has little idea

of what we have to undergo."

Kossman told how he "got" the Turkish official who caused the kill

ing of his father, sister and four brothers. The murderer was a colonel

in the Sultan's army and Kossman

killed him on sight in the streets of Monastir. Later on he plunged a

knife Into and killed a second Turkish

army officer, who had killed another

of his brothers.

making some 2,000 buildings come un

der the law. -

And a special commission "is to de

termine which is the best one to use."

The underwriters provide that any of

five approved standards can be used.

so if the authorities specif yone certain kind the deal can be beaten la the courts.

Several of the aldermen were angry

last night over the Joker, claiming that the ordinance has been tampered with.

In the meantime there will be no re

port made by the commission on the

best one to use, so theordlnance will

remain a dead letter and may be re

pealed.

The prisoners were put through a

severe grilling last evening but no

confession of guilt was wrung from

them. They declined to state what

had become of the missing $105. Was Not Accidental.

The police declare the package was

not broken open by accident. It had

Deen obviously broken into with, a

purpose. The break was not such as

would have been made by a casting

falling on it.

Milligan had been riding about with

Rogers and the supposition Is that the pair were waiting their opportunity to

get away together, Milligan having

ben talking for some time about going

o California about Christmas time.

Owing to the absence of Dr. Frank

Smith, coroner of Lake county, who is at Frankfort, no inquest will be held

for a few days over the remains of Miss Edith Dewey, the 26-year-old

Gary girl, who passed away in a South

Broadway alley after drinking sever

al 'glasses of whisky.

A post-mortem examination by Dr.

J. A. Craig yesterday revealed the fact

that the girl had die of pneumonia. Under the influence of liquor, she did not realize her condition and the sur

geons say that had she not been drink

ing her life might have been saved.

Miss Dewey was drinking in a South

Broadway saloon Saturday night, and at closing time the heartless saloon-

men threw her out Into the alley to

die. She was found and carried into a saloon, where she died.

The wayward girl , came of a good

family at Harvard, 111., and her people

will look after her funeral arrange

JUDGE ASKS

FOR CLERK

Judge Ora L. "Wildermuth of the

Gary city court last night appeared

before the common council and asked

that a court clerk be named to assist

him. There has been no court clerk since 1910 when Richard Winkler, who

received a salary of $100, resigned

estate laws prohibit a court clerk In a

fourth-class city but as Gary transacts the police business of a second class

city the law Is evaded by giving th

title of city stenographer to the clerk.

The city Judge asked for a girl clerk

who would give part of her time and

get $25 a month for the Job but the

council decided to .pay $50 and it will

pass an ordinance to this effect.

Ten Times Hammond's.

Judge "Wildermuth gave statistics

showing Gary's tremendous court busl ness.

Last year Gary had 2,400 police court cases as compared with 465 in Kast Chicago and 243 in Hammond (third

class). Of the second class cities Evansville had 2,327, Fort Wayne 2,461 and South Bend 1,705. Of third class cities Muncle had 402, New Al-

square himself in case he ever runs for

an elective office. In fact he has a lot

of explaining to do as matters stand

It was an awful break, but the Judge

actually ruled yesterday that a mere

man was supreme In his own house.

Here was the situation which called

forth this ruling. John uretches has a

half-brother named George Pelowski

living in Cedar street. Gretches and

Mrs. Pelowski had had trouble and she

had declared she did not want him

"hanging around" her house. George,

her husband, on the other hand had

allowed that his brother could hang

around as much as he liked. Could

make his home with him if he wished

The more Mrs. Pelowskl's . ire was aroused against John, the fonder George became of his de trop relative. Gretches called at the Pelowski home on Sunday. Mrs. Pelowski told him to clear out. Her husband sided with fils brother. The upshot of the domestic tangle was the arrest of Gretches on a charge of trespass. In court the husband, with the eye of his wife fixed glaringly on him, did testify that he sympathized in a measure with her, but Judge Reiland suspected that the eye had something to do with

the reluctant testimony.

It was then that he quesion of who

was ruler of the household arose

Judge Reiland came out boldly with

the announcement that "a man is king

in his own home. What he says goes

Well, had his honor known Just what

a storm this ruling was going io raise,

he simply would not have made It. He has een texplaining eer since that he

did not mean exactly that. What he

meant was In fact that the wife was

queen in her castle as well as that her

husband was king. But in this case

Gretches and Pelowski were brothers

and it did seem as though Oh, well,

what's the use of anything, anyhow

It's a hard life this being a judge. "It's

dam If you do andj dam If you don't, says Judge Reiland.

Gary's class, the fourth, like Elkhart, Michigan City, Logansport and Kokomo ranged from 440 to 595 cases. "This year I have tried as many as 73 cases In a day and the docket clerical work Is tremendous. Frequently I am obliged to lose part of what a witness is testifying to because I must also act as clerk," stated the Judge.

ALDERMEN CLAIM

A JOKER NOW Gary property owners are up in arms as a result of the gas valve ordinance

passed by the council. It requires the

installation of a $35 gas shut-off valve,

with additional fees when the plumb

er gets through with the Job.

When the measure was originally

passed it was the "understanding tha

it applied merely to public building

theaters, stores, hotels and apartmen

buildings.

The signed ordinance develops that

it includes everything . except resi

dences in the fire limits. Under thi

rating every two-apsrtment house,

boardins house, etc., would be Included,

BOUND OVER TO COURT

Tony Torri, the horsethief who stole horse and wagon in Gary and who

was captured a short time later by

the Hammond police, Was bound over

to the superior court in bonds of $500

n the Gary police court this morning.

Special Judge Henry Price presiding.

According to Detective. Kramer, In

harge of the horse stealing bureau of the Chicago police, Torri has stolen

$25,000 worth of horses and is one of

the cleverest men in the busines. Torri, according to the Chicago police jumped a $2,500 bond in Chicago so

the Gary police are wondering what will happen If he gets bond for $500 in the local court. Torri Is wanted for

several . charges in Chicago.

The police will take steps to prevent

any move on the part of Judge- Price

to be hired as Torri's attorney when

his case comes up in the higher court.

so it was stated at headquarters this morning.
