Davis has begun trust-busting Who

to Arkansas. He wanted to make a
speech the day he was sworn in. Yes,
indeedy! He came to Congress to do
things, and he wants to begin because
he knows he will only get one term in
all probability, and the time is short for
him to get in his work. He was pre-
vailed upon to wait until the Senate
was at least organized before he turned
loose, and so he siZzfed until Tuesday,
and the Senate had only just been
called to order when he fired in his
trust-busting bill. He got it in in the
wrong place, in spite of somebody pull
ing his coattails to keep him from max
ing an ass of himself, but he got the
eye of the President of the Senate, and
named his bill, only to be informed that
the time had not come for that busi-
ness, and he had to posses his soul in
patience till the time did come on the
regular call of the Senate Then he

RINGS
CuRFEW BELL
South Chicago Police Have
No Instructions to En-
force "Law" But Will.
Especial to Lake County Times,


The curfew did ring forth last night
the peals of the bells coming from the
bell tower at the Evangelical church,
of which Rev. Emil Ritcher is pastor.
At 10 o'clock. the appointed time for
the bells to ring, Rev. Ritcher forgot
about it and when 10 O'Clock had passed
someone called him up and asked if he
wasn't going to ring the bells. At this
he went TO the belfry and the chimes of
the bellies could be heard all over South
Chicago.
Although the police are still at a loss
as to what to do over the matter, they
all seem ready to see the movement go
through and it is expected that within
a few days Captain Dorman Will give
out orders to arrest the girls who are
on the streets after 10 o'clock without
proper escorts. When arrested they
Will be taken to the police station and
held until their parents can be noti-
fed.
As the bells from Rev Ritcher's
church peaIed forth last night. young
girls thinking they would be arrested
if they didn't scamper for their homes
started off on run and made for their
trundle beds.
If the measure goes into effect IT
will not only effect girls but will also
apply to young boys who are on the
streets after 10 o'clock.
one minister in South Chicago says
the curfew law ought to effect the boys
more than girls because he thinks they
so to their ruin quicker than girls.
Rev. Ritcher says his bells will ring
forth promptly at 10 o'clock tonight

their respectfye homes

BUTLER, Pa, SOLVES
HOTEL PROBLEM
Superintendent Douglas of
Standard Steel Tells of
Fine Hostelries There.

w. L Douglas, general superintend-
ent OF the Standard Steel Car company.
in company with several other of the
officials were talking about the lack OF
hotel facilities in Hammond the other
day and in the course of the conver-
sation told some interesting facts about
the hotels in Butler. Pa
Butler Is about the size OF Hammond
and has eight fine hotels, one OF which
is almost the equal of the Oliver at
South Bend. The reason why the city
can support many first class hostel
ries lies in the fact that license laws
of the state of Pennsylvania permit
only those who are running hotels to
secure liquor licenses.
While in Hammond there are nearly
200 saloons. Butler has but eight and
these are all orderly places. There is
so much at stake that the average ho-
tel keeper vii not run the risk Of
having the license revoked.
1t is said that some of the bars do
business. the profits on which amount
to $4,000. In this manner 1t is possible
for the saloonkeeper to maintain a fine
hotel even though it only pays ex-
penses.
In fact, the hotel keepers vie with
each other to see who can run the
best establishment. 1t is said that a
meal can be secured for 25 cents that
is as good as any that could be pur-
chased in Hammond for 81
