ALLERTON GETS OFF IN LIGHT SENTENCE. ConTini from Pm tof the games Allerton was. compelled to wear a revolver In a holder In his belt. This was to protect the house against holdup men. Thus the house provided the protection from robbery that could not be asked from the police.

Things went smoothly until finally an argument arose; Allerton tried to pacify the patrons and falling- to do so he closed the game. He went Into another room with Peter Creatsoulas, a Greek prizefighter who was the "bouncer" in the place. Rapier explained that It Is also necessary to have men who can use physical force to quell a disturbance In a place run In defiance of the law and which could not therefore rely on the

Then the gun was discharged, accl-1 dentally according to Allerton. Creat- ,

soulas, one of the assailants or perhaps trying to aid Allerton in the dilemma, was standing In front of the muizle of the revolver. He received the bullet In his stomach and It took a downward course and came out of his hip. Death reuslted.

And It was this review of the case

FLOOD GIFTS

The returns from the flood subscrip

tion lists that were put into circulation by the Commercial club through the agency of Its president. Judge

Walter J. Riley, are still coming in, as are also scattering reports from

lodges, etc., which contributed to the

general fund. The Kagles of the In

the K. P. lodge $5. A check for $38.20 has been received by Judge Riley as

representing the fund collected by the employes of Alexander Laughlin, who

are doing the open hearth construction

work at the Inland Steel company's plant. It may be interesting to the public to know Just what departments

of the big mill contributed to the $1,-

359.80 total sent In by the employes of the Inland Steel company. The subscriptions were divided as follows: Electric department, $32: store room, $11; open hearth. $92; Indiana Harbor offices, $176.75; laboratory, $25; bar mill, $51; galvanizing and roofing, $80.85; bar order department. $20; sheet mill. $261.15; mechanical, $96.25; continuous mill, $88.25; bolt and rivet, $91.25; bar warehouse, $33.25; yard, $88.80; blast furnace, $1.08.25; roll shop, $22; blooming mill. $82; total, $1,359.80.
