THIS GARY DEMOCRAT
THE THREATS
RIDICULES
Announcement in Mayor KnottB' newspaper last nigbt that members of the Gary democratic central committee who aspire to office will be thrown out of the committee has stirred up a hornet's nest among the democrats, it Is charged that. Mr. Knotts Intends to use his new ruling as a means to eliminate City Chairman P. C. Finerty. Judge James Costello, Secretary Broughal. Attorney Houren and others from their committee places. Indignation against the new ruling is voiced in the following letter: "To the editor of THE GARY EVENING TIMES: "As a cltlien of Gary, and a subscriber of your paper, I beg leave to answer a joke which I read in last night's Issue of The Gary Evening Post. The heading of that joke was, 'Candidates Must Leave Committee.' I did not know that Puck had loaned one of his writers to the Gary Evening Post, for whose ever was the bright mind that conceived such an article, he certainly must have had his 'kidding clothes on.' . II he were to be present at the demonstration of hoodulmlsm at the Knotts and McRoberfs office last Wednesday evening headed by His Honor and His Noble Health Officer, together with a member or two of His Safety Board. His City Comptroller and one of His Detectives, then he would certainly say that the committee needed weeding out, but not of the prospective candidates. "If they want any weeding out, they should start at the city hall gang and clean them out of the committee, for, I dare say, the member of the committee that took the stand for a square deal for all democrats went on record as showing themselves fair-minded
citizens, and If they were prospective candidates, they were not afraid to de
lay the primaries until such time as
the democrats of the city of Gary could
make up their minds whether they wanted to aspire for the different offices on the democratic ticket as opponents of the so-called aspirants whom this Joker has the audacity to state that they will be asked to leave the committee or be barred from aspiring to any office on the democratic
ticket. Ellmlaate Officeholder!! Tfcea.
"It certainly would be playing Into the hands of the Chief Mogul who tries I run things with a high and mighty
SILK WORKERS' STRIKE BRINGS WAR TO PAT ERSON, N. J.
hand and with his steam roller process.
if those who opposed him in the city
of Gary would be driven out of this city and Brother Knotts could build a fence around the city to keep them
out, as he would have no opposition. If he wants to clean or purge the committee, let him first ask the health offi
cer to resign his position as vice chair
man, second, his sewer inspector resign his position as committeeman, third, his young man of the engineering department, who took such an active part at last Wednesday night's meeting, resign his position as committeeman; also his member of the Bafety
board, who Is also a member of that committee. Then, let him eliminate
from that committee the members to
whom he has promised the city sealership, the nominations for alderman, and several others of the committee whom he has pledged himself to do favors for and to give them the earth and all it contains, and in the end, whom he will give nothing but the blue sky. When this is done, I think that ttfe democrats of Gary will have a city central com
mittee of which they might be proud.
With the aforesaid members on the committee, it is no wonder that Mayor Knotts, with a few of his police department and safety board, can run in
to the office and take the meeting by
storm and force the committee to do his bidding. "Oh, no, my dear JOker, it does not
lie In his power, nor In yours either, to compel any member Of the central city
committee to resign. It will be a harder matter to accomplish than merely writing It in The Post. The members of the committee who have opposed the early primaries fully know their ground, and are willing to take their chances In the courts whenever the Joker and the rest of his crowd see fit to try to oust them from the committee. "I wish to state to you, Mr. Editor, that I am sending a copy of this answer to this same Joker, care of The
Gary Evening Post, but I doubt if it
will ever be printed; if it Is, it will be matelrally changed. I. also, am sending a copy to The Gary Tribune, not wishing to slight any of the papers of the city of Gary. "Sincerely requesting you to grant me space In your valuable paper for this answer, I am, your very truly, "A SINCERE CITIZEN AND DEMOCRAT OF GARY."

When the teachers and pupils of the McKlnly school set their minds " and heatrs upon any accomplishment, things certainly do move. The entertainment last night at the McKlnley .building, given by the grade
pupils, who were all represented Irtup the lowest to the highest, had two objects in view. The initial and inspirational motive was to assemble sufficient coin of the real to provide . a phonograph for entertainment and educational purposes. The second motive, which gradaully developed into the predominating one, was to afford, an entertainment that would show something of the caliber of the McKlnley boys and girls and be a credit to all concerned. If the Indications last night were not altogether deceptive, both objects were attained. The affair consisted of an operetta, "The Whole Tear Round,' In which the seasons with courts and attendants contested for the kingship of the whole
year 'round. The music was catchy with the true swing and tang1 of the
more Imposing operas. The choruses
were unusually good. For children of
this grade of school work to muster the
time and harmonies of such music cer
talnly reflects a good deal of credit
somewhere. Intricate drills, featured
in fancy' costumes, were frequently in

Shortly after her arrival she gave birth to a son, which Is now six months old. The girl Is not married. When told she had to go back to Roumania she at first demurred about taking her baby, as she said her peo

her condition when she left there. She was persuaded, however, that she would best take the child and finally consented. ' She declared that a cousin had provided her with ' money to come to this country. Whether or not the cousin was the father of her child she did not say.

dividual feature of the performance, it
would necessitate a description of all, so evenly and uniformly good were all the parts taken. At one place in the performance a
surprise was sprung upon the audience
by the .introduction of the original
band of Brownies fresh from the .
heather. Their journey had evidently ' taken none of their vigor and the gestures and other eccentricities that have
been copied and reproduced in picture, song and story for the last few years
were displayed In all their mirth pro
voking originality. It certainly was a
great treat. Old and young alike In the
audience fairly hung on to their sides
in order to preserve the completeness
of their anatomy. j The song and drill by the snowflakes and the maypole dance, both by the primary grades, were among tne mosi, pleasing of the spectacular features. j Paul Hermandorfer was the one who ;
presided over the contest and he carried his part easily and well. His final decision was that the honors would have to remain divided, that each in turn should rule.
The performance will be repeated i Monday night for the benefit of those' who were unable to get seats. The hall of the McKlnley building was crowded, many not, being able to gain even a: standing admittance. . I

slot machines of the city, Mayor Knotts of Gary today gathered his safety board together and with City Judge Wilderrauth lie held a private high court session. The city judge issued forthwith subpoenas and the mayor acted as chief justice. Among those haled before the mayor were Alexander Rennle, a bookkeeper at the Boston store, who is said to have talked of graft in Gary. It is understood that Rennie told the mayor that hla knowledge of the dive and slot machine graft was based on hearsay. W. C. Cavell. the real estate man, was also ordered before the mayor forwlth. He brought along his attorney, Frank Welsheimer. Cavell was interrogated by the mayor. Dlvea Im Tollenlon. Later In a talk with Chief Martin l.t; told of some of the dives and particularly one In West Toleston, which he says is corrupting the Tolleston youths. "Give me the police department arid six moths time and I'll clean up Gary,"
! said Cavell to the chief. . "We are going to run this thing down the line," stated the chief. j Slot Machine Probe t There are rumors of a grand Jury ln-j vestigatlon in connection with the dives and it is said that some of the property j owners some of them respectable
church deacons and others well known J men who are leasing dives for Immoral purposes are somewhat anxious , over the talked of probe. Just what will become of the slot machine incident is yet to be determined, i "Gary Isn't the only place In Lake county, where, slot machine are run- . ning," one man said.
