How It Happened.

ago he was one of the two republicans I who voted for the Proctor liquor bill, Declares Town Corrupt, "To pass this measure," said Representatlve Combs, "means to legalize the licenses of the most corrupt sa- I loons in what I consider as one of the 1 most corrupt towns in the United States."

He said that he considered "Gary as good as any city." The first Gary saloon bill introduced by Representative Carter was referred to the house committee on Judiciary A. After holding several public hearings on the subject the committee, through Chairman Storen, reported to the house that it recommended the indefinite postponement of the measure. A second bill on the same subject and also fathered by Mr. Carter was introduced and referred to the committee on public morals. SCORES OF BILLS AFFECT LAKE CO.

Then the regular appropriations bill in which the House made a number of salary lncreases and in which the senate made a lot. more, was passed by the House several weeks ago and the Senate also I nnxaorl It with Its amendments. The I House refused to agree to the increases made by the Senate and a conference committee was appointed. This committee failed to agree and new members were chosen. These members said this morning that they thought they would be able to agree, on the provisions of the bill during the day. It was understood that they would knock out practically all of the salary boosts made by the senate and some that were put in by the house. The salary boost for the supreme and ap pellate Judges was to be eliminated. The boost for James H. Fry, state oil Inspector, which was the pet salary boost of Senator Fleming, was expect ed to remain in the bill. The session probably will not close before late tonight.

ton has a stack of unsigned bills In his office this morning: two feet high, on which he is to act. He will accept

no more bills today from the legls lature except such bills as he wishes to accept. It is reported that he will not accept the bill appropriating $58,000 for the purchase of a residence for the Governor, which passed the House Sat urday, evening if it passes the Senate. He does not favor the bill. He will accept the bill Introduced by Representative Cravens last Saturday to Increase the state tax levy 7 cents O" tn 100- The Governor favors this because, he says, the present tax " not lcient to meet the necessary expenses of the state. He says the state schools, and institutions ought to be better provided for than they are now. BETTER E Efforts to establish a more direct roaU service between Gary and Crown Point are being made by Postmaster Charles Daugherty of the hub and Postmaster John Call of Gary They want the postmaster-general to provide for a carrier to take the mail back and forth between Gary and the county seat. Owing to the round-about way tQe Tnail a 8snt Qa ry and Crown Point i mail usually takes more than a day for dellvery .The idea is a good one and it has Deen suggested that Hammond and East Chicago could make an effective carrier mxercnange wim otner pojnts BET LETTER . ATTY. Rumors to th effert that Attornev I E' ' Ballard is in parts unknown and Itbat he nas lert uary lor good are dispelled by the following letter receiver by his uncle Judge Albert Carver of Gary in which Mr. Ballard specifies when be will return home: "Seattle, Wash..

British Columbia on , a ..big hunting trip aorry that Stanton 4fcJ, iQt, ornpjAsiy jpjnS; but an3 provided with shooting apparatus now and expect to bag some big game, and to enjoy the trip as welL I have felt better ever since I crossed the Rockies j and the temperature west of the coast mountains where I am now is decicedly warm and pleasant at times. The Pacific warm the coast strip Immensely. "The vegetation on the coast side of the mountains shows the effect of this too. It is prolific and the trees are gigantic Some of thorn rise up to a height of 300 feet and over. On the other side (east side) of the . same mountains the vegetation is not half so large. "It gets quite foggy here some times, and the winter season has much rain too, but the climate is mbetter than Indiana at that. "Seattle is a great city and is bound to be the Chicago of the northwest. Nothing to hinder it, and the coming development of Alaska and the openIing up of Canada to settlers throughout Alberta and British Columbia will be a great Impetus to it In the near future. "There are a great many foreigners here (mostly Japs and Chinese) but not so many as in Lake County and Chicago. It sems like the earth is bound to be covered with them In I every part of America they must have deserted the old countries don't seem like there could be any left over there considering the numbers here in the U. S. A. "I shall be back in June probably and want you to contlnu the Carr case until fall if poslble for I am not able to try it in my present condition. Four times in less than ten months last year got the best part of my nervous system. I am writing Stanton to the same effect, et me hear from you and give me al the news of interst and re i member me to my friends and to Mrs. Carr when you see her. Tell her to keep In good spirits for we are going I to lick them next time. As ever. "OCT." GOTTLIEB AROUSES CARTER IRE fCaatta 4 from Pag L) Keegan caught him by the arm. Speaker Cook ordered the doorkeepers to fuse admittance inajde the railing to any person not invited, but Mr. Carter's motion was not put. That man went to the, merchants of Hammond in a conference over the garnishee bill and told them I was drunk every day and absent from my seat, and he has maligned roe and oth er members of this house," Mr. Carter asserted in explanation of his motion. -Du't Disgrace the Jearaal." -Oh, don't disgrace the Journal with his name. Barney," said Representative Van Home of Lake and Porter, repub llcan, when Mr. Carter pot the mction. "Don't disgrace the Journal of this bouse with that fellow's name." Representative Tingle of Marion county raised a point of order on the motion, saying the house had no right to take cognisance of any statements against a member unless they were made within the house chamber.

"I'd rather spend thirty days mak ing little stones out of big ones," said the Average Young Man, "than spend an evening in the society of a parlor entertainer. "Te-ah?"we queried. "With the possible exception of com parisons there's nothing so odious as those home talent comedians. They're about as funny as the hind wheel of a hearse. They think they have Sam Bernard and Jimmy Powers looking like a couple of hired mourners. They figure it out that when they say anything a gale of laughter is sure to en sue. Ordinarily I m a peaceful little guy, but when one of those village nuisances butts into the party I begin to think how nice he'd look at the coroner's inquest.
