"Strong-Arm" Measure Ditched. It was found that Mayor Knotts didn't sign the ordinance repealing th obnoxious gas valve ordinance. The mayor thought that the ordinance could stand if some changes were made and the council finally agreed tnat a committee should draft a new 6ne. In its original shape the ordinance was all right and called for gas shutore valves on certain public buildings. Then came a bunch of promoters and some of them got some of the city hall I contracting gang interested In the j measure. Gas Hogs Are Routed. When the ordinance was passed it wan found that it was secretly tarapered with and that it affected some 2,200 buildings in Gary and that a lot of poor property owners would have to shell out $50 for a valve and about half as much to a plumber to install the newfangled device. And on top of this some of the gas valve promoters began to use some strong-armed methods, threatening property owners that if tbey didn't pass out their pocket book they would be prosecuted at once. However, some of the aldermen who are

roperty owners resented the second

tory work so no wholesale pick pocketing- was done. Kill Snow Cleaning Ordinance. The council killed on its third readins the ordinance requiring property wners to keep their sidewalks clear of snow and ice. I An ordinance Introduced by Alderman Bowser will keep peddlers and street hawkers from crying out their wares if passed. Many mill men, who work nights, complain that their sleep Is in terrupted by the cries of the vendors. End of the City Auto. Heretofore the $2,000 auto owned by the city has been used by the board of public works. By virtue of a resolution last night 3 safety commissioners, 9 aldermen, 45 coppers. 60 fireman, and 4 employes of city attorney's office will be allowed to use the machine. It is expected, however, that the machine will be in working use for at least three months. The old city auto went the pace that kills and died a sudden death when certain city officials took the ma chine out on night "joy rides" to Pne beach. Deep river and other places, tak ing women along as guests. Other routine business taken up by ecouncil included: Further consideration of ordinance to add five more patrolmen to the police department. Passage, of ordinance giving city fire men one day off in five with pay. Sustaining by Mayor Knotts of the veto of the Hodges and Ridgely $415.15 appropriatio nordlnance. The city treasurer hired the lawyers to fight the city low license measure. He didn't ask the consent of the mayor or council. The lawyers, however, won 150,000 a year for the city.

Tackling a Big Job: ' The entertainment of the Indiana society will not be uhdertaken by the Hammond members of that organization and the people of Hammond generally unless it is certain that the af fair can be made the equal of any that has evef been held. Some of the notable summer outings that have been held by the society are: The rose festival at the residence of John Farson at Oak Park; the p'.cnlc at-the home-of George Ade at Brook, Ind.; the 'trip to South Bend, where they were entertained by the Studebakers and others; the trip to Indianapolis, where that city spent $15,000 to entertain the visitors, and last year the trip to I,ake Maxinkuckee, where the society was the guest of Culver military academy. One point in favor of the Hammond

plan is the fact that no long, tiresome car ride is involved in the outing. It is the consensus of opinion that the society members do not want to wan

der so far from home. STEALING When the Lake Shore fast freight from the east due in Indiana Harbor at 4:30 a. m. pulled in this morning member of the train crew telephoned the police that two men who are sup posed to be wanted in Elkhart for horse stealing were aboard. Sergeant Wm Hughes 'who received the intormation over the phone immediately dispatched Officers Barney Geunensanski. John Maldrowski, Gabriel Bedes and John German to the depot in the patrol, the train in the meantime being held for their arrival. The car in which the men were riding was pointed out to the officers, who surrounded it and the two men were dragged forth. At the station they gave the names of Otto Miller and Elmer Grogman, said they were from Cleveland, denied all knowl edge of the charge on which hey were arrested and "claimed to have come straight through from Toledo in the car in which 'they were found. Later they admitted having changed) cars at Elkhart. One of the yardmen at. Elkhart however declares the men boarded the train Juut as it , was leaving the yards there, and it was he who telegraphed ahead giving the location in the train of the car ire which the men were concealed. The Elkhart police have ben notified of the arrest and the men will be held until the authorities there can be heard from. The theft consisted of a - team of horses and wagon and a horse and buggy. One man is now being held in Elkhart for the robbing and the men arrested this morning are supposed to complices. be his ac PIE FOR A number of Gary democrats are up in the air over the announcement that President Wilson is to ask the advice of Vice President Marshall on all Indiana appointments. And it comes from a high source that the former governor will see to it that no Knotts democrat gets within a half mile of the rle counter. , - Knott Men la Cold. The news was rather disconcerting to many of the faithful today and the joys that were expected to pervade the meeting of the Lake County Demo cratic Marching club at Gary tonight

He had a. number of letters from fire ; chiefs all over the country all of whom said. they, used the Gamewell Fir ' Alarm Telegraph Co.'s system and found It satisfactory. Mr. Galvin announced that Frank C. Stover, general western agent of the concern was present and could give a better idea of his system than he could. Mr. Stover was called upon and explained that It would cpst approximately 114.000 to install the- system in the two towns of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, that his systern was used in 90 per cent of the , cities which had alarm system, all over jthe country, including Chicago and (many other towns he named. The matter was laid over for further J investigation. City Engineer C. K.

M'he cost was approximately $78,000 - while the assessment roll provided for only $74,'000. The bonds fall due this year and for that reason the council took the matter up at this time. ' v An ordinance providing for more and stricter rules for the fire department, was introduced and laid over until the next ' session. The new rules provido for the Impressing of the firemen Into police service when their help is needed, leaving always enough men to take care of a fire In case one broke out during the absence of the others on p-. lice service. Another rule in that theq must always address their superior officers by their title, using it in full, when on duty. Also when on tne street, in order to keep a neat arpearance they must button their coats. Further more they are to keep the street iti front of the fire station clean up to the center. Alderman Jimmie Burns got to his feet and presented a number of foolish reasons why the rules should not be enforced, Jimmie, evidently oeing un " able to get away from the idea of the village system of running a volunteef v fire department.
