GARY SALOON BILL GOES

TO ITS

Last Effort Made by Hammond Representative at In

dianapolis Yesterday to loonmenBut by a Vote The light -of Representative Barney Carter of Hammond to legralize the licenses of about 190 saloonkeepers, which were declared void 4y the Indiana supreme court, was lost in the legislature yesterday when that body defeated his bill by a vote of 41 to 49. as stated in the last edition of The Times yesterday. Representative Cravens attempted to prevent the bill coming to a vote on the ground that the house had earlier in the session indefinitely postponed a bill with identically the same provisions, and that the rules prevent consideration of the same bill twice In the same session. Carter rummaged tfrmugb the bill and discovered that orie place In the new bill the word "liquor"., had been ADAM STACHOWITZ STATES jl POSITION Denies That He Has Ever Been Affiliated .With Gang Rule. Adam Stachowitz, candidate . for the office of police magistrate on the people's ticket in opposition to Judge Prank Green and John B. Malkowskt. asks that his position In the present campaign be made plain. In the first place Stachowitz denies that he was ever a member of the old gang or had any political ' relations with them. He has always been an advocate of good government. Stachowitz points out that fifteen years ago he was president of the vlllage board of West Hammond and that seven years ago he was elected to the office of village clerk. Four years ago he was police magistrate. , . In all of his public record Stachowitz defies the people of West Hammond to point to a single dishonest or crooked act. He declares that he has stood for the present city;adminlstration from the very start and has always opposed the old gang. Stachowitz not only-claims to be Indorsed-by the better element in West Hammond, but he refers the people of this community to Judges Reiter and Becker in Hammond, whom he says will vouch for him. Stachowitz was confused with former President John Hessler of West Hammond, who was a member of West Hammond, deserves the support of the citizens of the city as against Judge Frank Green, who is known to be a member of the old gang, and John B. Malkowsk!,' whose sympathies are vith the vantl-reform element, Stachowitz has the Indorsement of Mayor K. M. Wosezynskl and Clerk Ignatius Mankowski, both of whom certify as to his loyalty to the cause of decent government. The La Vendor cigar Is a home prod uct. None better. Adv.
