prospecting from the time of its incep-
ton, but the growth and its activity
in the past few months has been I'M
paralleled. It is thought that their
great success with the opening of the
Gary harbor had much to do with the
desire for the business men of the
region to become members
PLENTY OF MONEY LEFT.
The remarkable fact about the cele-
bration is that after all of bills for
the advertising of the fete has been
paid for. the club will still have in their
treasury nearly $1,000, which shows a
remarkable healthy financial condition.
There was $734 in the treasury before
the celebration and at that time 50

port for his committee on the celebra-

offered to Mr.. Carr and President Cap

Of Hammond for their machines in

The club also decided to rent for
their exclusive use, the north dining
room of the Gary hotel This will be
kept open at all times for. the use of
the members, and they may meet here
at any time during the day for the
transaction of club and private bust
ness. 1t is thought that it will be
large enough to accommodate all of
the members of the club until such a
time until they build and occupy their
own quarters, which they believe will
not be very far distant This will be
the first commercial club in northern
Indiana to establish themselves in ex-
elusive quarters.

CUSTOM HOUSE
IS ESTABLISHED
Ore Boat E. Fl. Rogers Sc
cures Clearance Papers
From Collector of Port.

A United States custom house has
been established in Gary, the first ship
to secure the clearance papers, being
the ore boat R. H. Rogers, which has
the largest capacity on the Great Lakes.
The local station is included in the
Chicago district which extends from
Waukegan to Michigan City. George
r. Scott of the Gary Tribune, has been
appointed the deputy collector for this
office.
Sooner Than Expected.
Through the influence of Mr. Scott
and Homer H. Carr who have long
been connected with the Marine News
they were enable to secure the local
branch much sooner than is expected.
Nominally the purpose of the office is
to collect duty on export gooSs leaving
the harbor, but in the case of the local
branch where the ships entering the
harbor, are only those carrying ore
the only duty of the local official will
be to give the boats their clearance
papers.
Boats Come In Each Day.
In a short time a large flag will be
unfurled over the office of the deputy
collector for the purpose Of helping the
boat captains to find the location. The
first ship to get the clearance papers
has a capacity of over 1900 tons
Boats are now entering the harbor
nearly every day and the ore is com
ing in as fast as it can be handled
The appointment was made by chief
collector for this district, John c.
Ames.

FOUGHT LIKE DEMONS.
japanese Attack Vancouver Firemen
With Long Knives

Vancouver, B. c., jan 2.-Three
city fremen, Frost, Anderson and Nc
Donald, were set upon by a mob of
armed japanese yesterday at the cor
ner of Powell street and Gore avenue,
two blocks from the police station and
in the center of the Japanese district
The men were clothed in uniforms
with brass buttons and the attack of
the japanese is all the more serious
for that reason. By accident a fire
man named Frost fell against the win
dow of Japanese store and smashed
the plate glass. In an instant the jap
anese proprietor rushed out and many
of his countrymen came to join the
fight. The firemen were overpowered
after fight, when the flesh of their
faces had been torn into ribbons by
the razor-like knives which the Orien-
tails carry. Frost was mortalIy hurt,
his neck was cut, slashed and laid
open for four inches and two inches
deep along side the jugular vein. The
other two firemen were frightfully cut
about the arms and breasts, but were
still fighting over the body of Frost,
when a squad of police arrived. Four
Japanese were arrested and the three
fremen were taken to the hospital.
The Japanese fought like demons
and the knives they carried were a
foot long

Death of Mrs. T. L. Seip.

Atch1son, Jan. 2-"Grandma'' Seip,
one of the pioneers of Atchison, and
probably its most generally beloved
women, died Wednesday at the home
of her daughter. Mrs. Thomas E. De-
nieffe. She did not realize that she had
entered upon the new year. having
been in comatose condition since Mon
day. Her death was due to a general
breaking down, which was but natural
in view of her 81 years. Mrs Seip was
born January Is, 1926. in Reading, Pa,
her maiden name having been Keturah
Oliver Norton. On March &c, 1916. she
was married to Thomas Louis Seip
Mr.. and Mrs. Seip came west as far as
Sterling, ILL.,, in the spring of 1855, re-
manning there until October. 1855 when
they came to Atchison.

LITTLE CHANCE FOR STRIKE.
Most of the Building Trades Unions
Have Signed Agreements.

New York, Jan. 2.-There Is little
chance of strikes this year among the
building unions. The employers have
signed agreements with large number
of the men and in cases where agree
ments have not been concluded ar
engagements are under way The fol-
lowing are the trades with which
agreements have been signed and the
number of men in each union:
Amalgamated Woodworkers, 5000
1000; Elevator Constructors, 1000; Tile
Layers, 900; House Shorers and Nov
ers, 1900; Hosting Engineers, 500;
Electrical Workers. 5000; Journeymen
Stone Settlers, 1900; Marble Cutters.
2, 500; Marble Polishers, 1,500; Plain and
Ornamental Plasterers. 5000; Model
lers, 5000; Wood Carvers, 800.
The following statement was issued
in behalf of the employers association:
MANY of the unions are satisfied to
renew their agreements at the old wage
rates hoping that in the new year mat
ters will improve in the building indus
try. At present the outlook is bad. We
NAV have a poor building season this
year. The mechanics, like the employ
ers, can only hope that the stagnation
will not last long. The arp1tratlon
agreement having proved effective In
the matter of prevention of strikes, the
employers have decided not to reduce
wages The workers as well are deS1r-
GUS of the continuance OF the present
harmonious conditions in the building
industry. The arbitration plan has re-
duced strikes to a minimum and both
sides feel that the arbitration agree
ment should remain permanent"
These unions have failed as yet to
make agreements with the employers,
the differences being over working con-
ing conditions and the use of nonunion
material:
Brotherhood of Carpenters, $4,000
members: Metal Lathers. 1,50o; Anal
gamated Sheet Metal Workers, 5000;
Plumbers, 5000; Cement Masons, 1000
Among the organizations not under
the arbitration agreement are the
painters, who number about 1900, and
the 5000 members Of the Housesm1ths
and Bridgemen's unions

New York's Celebration of New Years
Was Extravagant

New York, Jan. 2.-Men who are
fond of figures say that New York's
New Years celebration cost $780,
600. 1t is estimated that 100000 peo-
pie took supper at 100 hotels and
restaurants. At one restaurant that
nights receipts were over $4,000. At
this restaurant 1000 quarts of cham
payne were drunk. 1t is estimated that
the diners around town made away
with $4,000 quarts of champagne and
$4,000 quarts of claret mot to mention
the barrels of other drinkables con-
sumed. Souvenir hunters were out in
force and every hotel and restaurant
lost great quantities of glass and sill
verware, the guests carrying away ev-
erything from small conee spoons to
silver wine coolers.

NEW POSTAGE REGULATIONS.
Are of Vast importance to Newspa.
perS Everywhere.

Washington, Jan. 2.-The postmaster
general has promulgated this new reg
ulatfon in regard to newspaper post
age, effective yesterday, of vast i'm
try.
reasonable time will be allowed
publishers to secure renewals of sub
scriptions, but unless subscriptions are
expressly renewed after the term for
which they are paid within the follow
months; tri-weeklies within six
months; semi-weeklies, within nine
months; weeklies, within one year;
semi within three months;
monthlies, within four months; BIZ
monthlies, within six months, and
Quarterles, within six months, they
shall not be counted in the legitimate
list of subscribers. and copies mailed
on account thereof shall not be ac-
copied for mailing at the second class
postage rate, but may be mailed at the
transient second class rate of one cent
for every four ounces.
The effect of this is to require
newspaper to put 1-cent stamp on
every paper where the subscriber is in
arrears for the periods fixed above The
publications used by mail order houses,
but it will also enable all papers to
clean up their subscription accounts.
Along with the regulation the post
master general has sent to each post
master a letter stating that it is the de-
sire of the department to give every
publisher a reasonable opportunity to
adjust his business to the new condi-
tons. Publishers who show good faith
and are making progress should, in
fairness, have such opportunity. Post
masters are not to annoy and vex pub
fishers whose practices are normal, but
are to give such publishers time to
clean up their lists.

IF the interest of the republic requires
that every child be compelled to learn to
read its laws, does not the same interest
as imperatively require that every child
be taught the absolute necessity of re-
spect for those laws? Does not :he inter
est Of the republic further demand that
the coming citizens shall have some idea
of our old beliefs on religion?
If English schools, according to our
ideas, go too far in teaching creeds, may
we not be going too far the other way in
excluding altogether or in giving too little
space to teaching unnecessary religion
and morals? In London the policeman Of
ten controls the biggest and angriest
crowd by lifting his hand in cases where
the New York policeman has to Eft his

had omething to do with this ?''

note that Governor Magoon has en-
