Two thousand fet of fire hose vaued at $1.10 per foot and 1.450 feet valued at $1.45 per foot. the same as used in Chicago, and other extras, requiring a total appropriation of $3,686 as asked by the safety board.

RACE TRACK RAIDED; 6 HELD AS GAMBLERS Men Arrested at Mineral Springs on Charge of Making Bets. Betting at the Mineral Springs race track at Porter, Ind., received a severe shock yesterday when deputy sheriffs, working under orders of Walter J. Fablng, prosecuting attorney of Porter County, took six men, aleged to have beea making bets, into custody, according to the Record-Herald. The men were arrested at the finish of the fifth race. They were held until after the last race had been run and then hurried into an automobile and taken to Valparaiso, the county seat, twelve miles away, where they were arraigned in the Circuit Court. Four of the men arrested were given a trial before Judge Louderback at Valparaiso and were fined $15 and costs. The men fined were Charles Francis, 5135 Forest Glen avenue; Andrew Doyle, a telegraph operator of 307 East Forty-fourth stret; William Jenk ins, a saloonkeeper at Fifty-first and State streets, and Charles Webster, bar tender, 5444 South State street. All the men pleaded not guilty. The arrester part of the betting at the track yesterday was of the "nod" or oral variety, but little money actually pasing within sight of spectators. As far as gambling was concerned. It was the quietest day since the track opened, and Prosecutor Fablng, fresh from a conference at Indianapolis with Governor Ralston regarding the situa tion, declared It would be kept so. Tl UNO FIREWORKS Alderman Tim Englehart, who can always be depended upon to punctuate the proceedings of the Gary common council with some "set up and take notice" stuff last 'night set off another display of oratorical fireworks. Big Tim got up and made an appealing speech demanding that the "council committee appointed to Investigate the democratic promaries" give him a written report at once. Last meeting night the duke of Ridge road wanted no reports at all. The alderman's request couldn't be compied with as the council never appointed a committee "to investigate the democratic primaries" but it did name one to investigate the "pernicious activity" (so it was worded11 of the police and fire department on democratic primary day when Mayor Knotts was re nominated by a majority that required several adding machines working overtime to count the figures. Alderman Fener, head of the committee, said that he wasn't ready to report. PUT TOUR WANT AD IN THB

WHAT ABOUT THIS PL1?

An ordinance providing for the redistricting of the city and the creation of three additional wards was taken up in the Gary council last night. Would Oust Aldermen f If the ordinance Is passed as It stands it is calmed that it will legislate most of the present aldermen out of office because they will find themselves In new wards. The ordinance would also increase the council membership from nine to fourteen. Silpabod Legislation. When the ordinance was read last night none of the aldermen was provided with a blue print and no one knew from the mass of descriptions just what the descriptions meant. Some understood that there would be five wards bp town, two In the south end, one in Tolleston. and one down in the Ridge district. Others asserted that there would be two wards in the Ridge veldt. It appears that the city attorney. Mr. Curtis, is the only one who got a blue print of the new redisricting scheme and he forgot to bring It to the meeting. At it was impossible to proceed with legislation when no one knew from the descriptions what the redistricting embrances the ordinance will be taken up at another meeting. Last night it was given two readings and ordered published. HURTY ON WAY TO GARY Continued from Pace one! for Its basis, and asked The Times for its support In supplying more reliable figures. A verified school census he admitted would more nearly give the cities their proper standing. "We are making progress," said Dr. Hurty. "In summing up the vital statistics for the last ten years which by the way, have not yet been published, I find that the consumption death rate has decreased seven per cent, a figure which may not look very large, but which gives great promise for the future. The typhoid death rate has decreas ed forty per cent and dlptherla which formerly claimed sixty per cent Is now reduced to three per cent. So I say we are making progress." Speaking of the Hammond deep sew er situation Dr. rlurty said: "Hammond can make no mistake In acquir ing for Itself the best and most mod-

ern lewaga disposal system at any ! cost. But my advice to the city would .

be that it secure the services of ex perts, men who can point here, there and elsewhere to work that they have satisfactorily accomplished." Dr. Hurty was told by Thbi Times 1 representative that the city had hired an expert to draw the plans. He was ' gratified to hear this, explaining however that he did not know Mr. Shields ! the Chicago expert whom Hammond retained. "I want to say however if your local city engineer in turning this work over to an expert admitted that it was work outside of his realm, that he is he kind of a man Hammond ' should keep for hat would Indicate that he knows his limitations. , j "Eugenics is going to be the j science of the future," he continued i when the subject had changed. "Sterilization of criminals is bound to ! become more common than It Is now. We will have to do something to protect these unfortunates and to protect 1

ourselves agalns hem. They are weak, of Hammond, Ind. A man commis a crime not because he Mr. W. D. Mamer, city attorney Hunt, is strong, but because he la weak." .ington. Ind. j Wednesday Afternoon, 1j30 p. m. MEN ARE DISCHARGED.' , Ju"r"i0JIahnUIh the local mm an!

Riley yesterday charged with responsibility for the shooting of a woman living at 4928 Alexander avenue, whose name the police were unable to give.

The shooting occurred on July 4 while the woman in company a number of others was sitting on the porch at the above adress.
