first clas from $1.25 to perhaps J2 on the $100. John A. Brennan. city controller of Gary-and president, of the organization of second-class cities, says nearly all the cities of the state are "up against If because of higher wages and cost of materials. The prohibition law was enacted, he says, without any new source of revenue to take j place of that received from saloon Hcenes. The cost c administration has not been reduced, by the "dry" law especially in cities near the boundaries of the state, wnere constant fight must be made on "blind tigers," Mr. Brennan says. Should the legislature authorize an increase In the levy It Is doubtful whether any more revenue would be gotten until 1920.. The levy has already been made this year on which taxes will be collected next year. The conference Is to consider whether It would be possible, should the legislature act early in the session, to Increase the levies already authorized by city authorities, so that increased revenue would be obtained in 1919. To consider a program of license and tax schedule John A. Brennan, city controller of Gary, president of the association, appointed the following committees: First-class cities. Charles W. Jewett, mayor of Indianapolis'; secondclass cltlis. Dr. F. R. Carson, mayor of

South Bend; R. E. Rowley, president Gary city council; C. L. Howard, city controller of Evans ville; Col. V. ?. Foster, president Fort Wayne park board and H. W. Cutehaw, mayor of Fort "Wayne. Third-class cities. Harry Broerties.

NFLUEflZA Ml AGAIN

IN EFFECTM LAPORTE Many Cases in the City But Few Deaths Up to the Present Time.

LAPORTE, IXD., Nov. 20. Infiuenra has developed so rapidly in the last few days in Laporte that health authorities decided yesterday to place a ban again on all public gathering's. Physicians report approximately 300 cases in the city, but thus far there have been few deaths. . The public hospital here Is unable to cope with the situation and the authorities have opened a temporary hospital with a corps of nurses. Patients who are in a serious condition now are being taken there. Many doctors believe that a mistake was made in lifting the ban on public gatherings In Laporte county two weeks ago.

TWO BANDITS SHOT DEAD

The 'many friends of Harry Wistrand. son of Mr. and Mrs. L. B. "Wistrand. 49S2 Olcott ave.. East Chicago, who were shocked to hear disquieting rumors of his death will be gratified to learn from a letter Just received from Frank Keenan in France that Wistrand was merely gassed instead of being killed. He is a member of U. S. Marine Corps. 5th Regiment. Mr. Keenan wrote: I have had time to see Steve Joyce and with him visited our friend Harry Wistrand who Is in a hospital here.

Harry has had a Mood-curdling existence since his arrival here and with the Marines has Feen the bloodiest war in all Its fury. Ha will be alright in time and is the same carefree boy. He has a full quota of arms, legs, etc. and If he Is maltreated no more will continue so, all his extremities now being In good order. It seems so unusual to be here myself but It seems remarkable to have Wistrand and Joyce here for we were ait peated together In High School. Verily fate works mysteriously and Its coincidences are as startling as its vagaries in reneral. One could write a "nickel thriller" ' from the tales told by Wistrand. He Is the personification of modesty in telling of himself, but his recital of the exploits of his comrades beggars description on my part. He mentions Joe Dacey, who la In his regiment, stating that Darey has a reputation for fearlessness and dashing qualities. Wistrand and Dacey are both recommended for a D. S. C. but he (Wistrand) says the only cross ha wants Is to "cross the Atlantic." Harry says Dacey is recommended for commission and he Is in all probability a Lieut, now. That's the stuff. I hope all my friends ara commissioned. Most of them have the stuff of which officers are made.
