MONTI'S BLACK

MO TAN RESORT

CLOSED AGAIN Following Shooting Affray, Notorious Black And Tan Resort Closed Last Night. - Th "re-orenlngr of the old Black and Tan dance hall at 1724 Adams street last n'.grht, famous In the days when' Gasparl Monti was Its proprietor, when a murder was committed, another shooting and other escapes familiar to police circles, -was anything but short lived. After the place had been closed for somo time, effort was made to re-open It to denizens of the south side underworld. It was to have been the grand opening and nights of revelry had been planned like those of Its heyday. This morning the doors of the notorious hall are closd and will remain closed, until Chief of Police I'orbla of the Gary police department and c'.ty officials permit the owners to re-open. It is not likely that they will ever consent to this, and the Black and Tan Is doomed far the oblivion. Hardly had the doors been thrown open last night to the notorious hangers on that habit the place, than there was a shooting. There was an investigation made by police officers, but no one who was in the place seemed to know anything about J, in fact, it was a case of not wanting to know anything about tbe details. The order came to close the place and keep it- closed. Tonight and henceforth it will be in darkness. There is a story told that In the heyday of the Black and Tan, patrons were searched when they came In the doors. Gutii, knives and weapons were placed in a box and when it came time for them to go home, their impllments of warfare were given back to them. At one time there was a whole box full of knives and guns. This was when Gasparl Monti, notorious toutli side ItaJlan, conducted the place, nil Johnson, was killed ;- AVillio Toung in the place. Both v. ere colored. There was also another shooting that took place in the resort and other brawls too numerous to mention. It was known a? the most notorious place on the south side. TVhlle ijonti was ov.ner. several attempts were made to take his life by his alleged enemies. In the first attempt he was badly Injured. Monti has often broken Into print. Recently the startling Information was made public that federal agents had' accepted Monti's testimony against City Judge William M. Dunn an Attorney B. A. Lucas, causing their arrest on charges of conspiracy. Dunn and Lucas were bound over to the federal court under heavy bonds and are now awaiting trial. Tn teres'- in the outcome of their case is manifold as residents of Hary and the county wonder Just how much faith the Jury will pin on Monti's testimony as It Is said h will appear as the principal witness against the Gary men. HOW IT SELLS "Moonshine" prices range from 15 to 25 cents a drink In Gary, that is the .little that Is being so'd. Thl sstatement Is gathered from statements made In recent weeks from liquor law violators arrested bv the Garv collce. Pome say they get 15 cents a drink, others say 20 cents arl a number admit they got 23 cents for "four fingers." It depends however upon the quality, although some etate that "Hootch" Is all alike. Anna Jursa and Steve Jursa who run a soft drink parlor at 821 Washington street and who were arrested last night for violating the state liQ'jor law cta.t that they were getting 25 cents a drink for their product. They told the police that they have been selling It for some time and 'boug-ht their moonshine from a man who came around to their soft drink parlor sTooiut or-re a week.

Isn't This Your Problem? "I intend to save money every month but somehow it just melts avay at the end of the month there's nothing left to save." Why not reserve things and take out a fixed sum on pay day and put it to work in an interest bearing account at this bank? Live on the rest of your salary and you'll experience the self respect and pleasure of getting ahead. In other words pay yourself first. It makes a world of difference in one's prosperity account.

They stated that they did not know his name. Efforts of the police to "dry up" the south sldo "hootch" parlors has resulted in the arreet during the past month of several dozens violators and the closing up of a like number of soft drink parlors. In case the owners of these places refuse to cilose, city officials start abatement proceedings.

Three Times and Out? Guess Not! Aji 9. liquor law violator, Kondrat Ostlk, of Indiana Harbor, has shown a persistence which if applied in other directions might make him president of the United States. Kondrat was arrested yesterday for the fourth time. Each time he is nabbed he starts all over again on a greater and grander scale. Federal Agents George Winkler and Harvey Rhed and members of the East Chicago police force dropped In on Konradt's store and found Kondrat protesting his innocence as usual. Mrs. Ostlk hastened out the back door and dumped a jar of moonshine. The officers caught her hiding a quart in a basket of clothes. She Just couldn't bear to spill it all. Then they went to the little shed at the rear of the lot. Kondrat protested. He said a boarder rented it. It was later found that his border is now on the penal farm. The lock was forced and seven gallons of liquor were found stored under the floor. When Konradt was searched the key to the lock was found in his pocket. The prisoner has an appealed case pending In the criminal court. There are also two old charges against him In the East Chicago police court. The latest one raises the total to four.

STOCKHOLDERS

MOURN LOSS OF Interest in the receivership proceedings of the Gary National Life Insurance Co. which was Instituted In the Gary superior court last Friday has reached all over the county where stockholders are wondering what will become of their money invested in the concern. It Is the general belief now that the stock is practically worthless. Recently the Gary National Life was sold and turned over to the Chicago National Life at which time the Gary National Life, owed the Gary National Associates Co. a sum of $102,000. At the time the money was loaned to the Gary National Life by the National Associates, Wilbur Wynant was president of both companies. The stockholders In both concerns are said to have had very little knowledge of what was going on in either concern. The affairs of the Gary National Associates company are In such confusion, it was said today by Attorney Bretsch and corroborated by President Harry L. Arnold of the Gary Trust and Savings bank, that the only way to straighten out the tangled condition of its finances was to plaee it In the bands of a re. ceiver, which was done last Friday, when Walter H. Thomas, cashier of the Gary Trust and Savings Bank was named as receiver by Judge Charles E. Greenwald, of the superior court. "When the Gary Life Insurance company needed money, it got what it needed from the Gary National Associates company and when the latter needed money it borrowed it from the Gary National Life," said Mr. Arnold today, "and the result !s that it will take some time to find out just whero the Associates company stands." An effort will be made to collect $102,000 from the Chicago National Life Insurance, which several months ago purchased the assets of the Gary National Life." POSSE GETS SHOPLIFTERS SPECIAL TO THE TIMES WHITING, Ind., October 24. Professing a. kleen understanding and appreciation of the latest in Women's wear ,two alleged colored shop-lifters yesterday afternoon intrigued the curiosity of clerks in the s,hop of Mrs. Gage in 119th street, this city, ' while they asked to be shown garments with the slinker skirt and rippling hem. Nothing seemed to please them after an unusual .assortment had been presented for their, perusal and after pawing over the garments the pair became slightly abusive. Othe.r acta of the couple contrived to arouse the susplcons of Mrs. Parker, clerk In the store. She called Mrs. Gage and when the proprietor summoned Officer Kllcullen the two negroes fled. One of them, cornered at Atchison avenue and 116th street, drew a large clasp knife. Tom Wiley, local dairyman, and member of the possee that pursued the negro, hurled a brick at the black man's head. He fell under the blow. With the aid of W. Wilson, electrician, and others, Wiley overpowered the negro, and throwing him Into a truck, took him to the station. He gave , his name as Mose Bell. In the meantime Officer IClIcallen had commandeered an automobile and in a wild chase through Whiting streets, finally ran down Bell's partner in a yard in Myrtle avenue, Robertadale. This man gave his name as Morrie Jackson. Both are charged with attempted laroeny. Previous to the visit at the Mrs. Gage store they had visited the store of Bob Gordon at 119th street and Central avenue. Later they went to the shoe shining parlor of Johnny Marino and there left a package which, opened at the police station, revealed a costly silk dress. This may have been stolen from the Gordon store, Chief Collins believes. The men pretended to be purchasing: clothing for their wjves. Both are well dressed. Chief Collins has sent a description of his prisoners to authorities of surrounding cities In the hope of uncovering possible police records pair may have in other cities.
