LESS THAN LAST YEAR
Tax Assessments Diminish
Because Farmers Are
Selling Stock.

Grown Point Ind, July 3.-The Lake
county board of review is through with
its labors at Crown Point and little
change is noted in the assessment lists
The tax assessments, especially those
of personal property, in the various
counties of the state will be less than
they were last year, is the statement
Of the members of the state board of
tax commissioners, who have just fin
ished visiting the county boards of
review. Commissioner Johp w Nc
Cardle visited thirty counties. Com
missioner Parks Martin thirty two
counties. and Commissioner John c.
Wingate thirty counties.
In the rural districts" said Com
missioner McCardle yesterday, as
ers who had cattle early in the winter
but lacked the corn to feed them, have
sold the cattle and have less stock
now. The same is true of all prop
erty. The situation is especially true
of the southern part of the state"
The commissioners say that more is
being done now by county treasures
in collecting delinquent taxes than has
been done in the past. The boar9 is
preparing for its next session. which
will begin Tuesday, July T. At this
session appeals from assessments made
by the board at it's first session and
from assessments made by county
boards of review will be heard. The
boards third session will begin July
20 and will last fifteen days

Saloon funerals are a daily occur
uence in Gary nowadays. Today the
and solemn cortege of deceased saloons
will pass in review before the eyes of
the people of Gary and will be buried
in that green and beautiful cemetery
called "Remonstrance."
Six months ago even the thought
that the saloons. which We're spring
ing up in Gary like mushrooms, would
have to close up. would have been re-
diculed Fine business corners were
sold on the representation that they
would make good saloon sites but to-
day twelve more saloons went out of
business and it is hard to tell where
the matter will stop.
This much is known. There were
fourteen saloon licenses granted in the
month of April, just before the re-
monstrance was filed. and these will
of course be the last ones to remain
in business.
The others will all have little flu
nerals of their own from time to time,
to continually remind the people of
Gary that the saloon is passing and
that before another year is past there

court and fined. Later on frost hap
pened into that place again and found
that the city license had not been Sc
cured and he again arrested him and
again he was fined.
The trouble was that the Bartholomae
& Roseing Brewing company had made
arrangements not only to provide the
fixtures and the stock, but the license
of the Gary saloonkeeper, and it had
been dilatory in providing the licenses.
frost said that this was an example
of the manner in which the saloons in
Gary have been operating before the
remonstrance, and it was this that
finally lead to the movement to regulate
the saloons.
City Clerk Holmes said yesterday
that frequently the saloonkeepers in
Gary would not come In for their city
licenses until several weeks after they
had secured their county licenses, and
then only came when they were chased
in by the police. This gives something
of an idea of the laxity which prevailed
in Gary were saloons were started so
rapidly that it kept the officials busy
keeping tack of them.

Dupty Sheriff James frost tells
story of the days when the brewing
companies were in a contest with each
other to see which could start the most
saloons in the new Steel City.
He happened over in Gary one day to
serve some papers and stepped into
saloon which was run by Wladislaw
Ozdzinski, at the corner of Twelfth and
streets. Failing to see a county IL
cense in the place he asked the pro-
prietor where it was
he proprietor answered him by say
ing: Il guess I know my business"
This was too much for the doughty
Jim frost and he told the saloonkeeper
TO close up his place of business and
come with him.
After Ozdzinski had been placed un-
der arrest frost and his prisoner met
Tom Knots Mr. Knots asked frost
what he meant by interfering with
Gary affairs. frost said that he al
ways thought Gary was in Lake county,
and as an officer of the county he had
right to demand that the saloon
keeper produce his license.
The saloonkeeper was hauled into

will not be a licensed drinking place

New Point is Raised.
The point has been raised in Gary
as to whether or not Clerk Oliver
Holmes has the right to issue city sa
loon licenses for the uneXpired period
of a county license.
Some authorities on the subject say
that the law providing for a remon-
STRANGE specifically states that in
townships where the remonstrance is
in effect no licenses shall be granted
The Interpretation which Mr.. Holmes
has placed on the law is that the re-
monstranCe applies to only the county
license and that he is required to issue
city licenses when they are demanded.
Holmes believes this also applies to
the state and government license and
he made the assertion that the grant
ing of government licenses was the
greatest shelter the blind pigs have.
Oliver Holmes was one of the sign
ers of the remonstrance and it is to
be inferred that he would have some
scruples against issuing a saloon IL
cense if he were not convinced that he
was compelled to do so. This is but
one Of the many questions which have
been raised as a result of the re-
monstrance.

ALL READY FOR MILL
Cans Nelson, Mcfarland
and Welsh Wait for
Eventful Day.

San Francisco. July z.-Joe Cans and
Battling Nelson have completed prepa-
rations for the bout of Saturday. I'm
til they enter the ring neither will do
further hard work.
Nelson discontinued boxing Wednes-
day, explaining that he wished to enter
the ring without having any sore spots
on his face and head, such as he fire.
quently obtained in training from the
fists of Cornet and Perry his sparring
partners.
Cans weighed 134 pounds today and
expressed himself as confident that he
could get off the extra pound without
any trouble Nelson scales about the
same figure. Trainer Jack Grace has
been holding the battler back in his
work, to prevent any possibility of his
becoming stale through overexertion.
When Cans strips for light shadow
boxing the effect of his constant work
on the road is apparent. His lower
limbs are much more muscular than
when he fought Nelson before, and he
is light and quick on his feet. His
great bulk is in his arms and shoul-
ders, however.
Referee Jack Welsh visited both men
at their training quarters today and
explained his Interpretation of the rules
to them. He especially insisted that
when he said break the men should
part instantly.
The first rush for tickets commenced
today. and the sale, which was look
ing poorly for a time. suddenly re-
ceived and the prospects are now for
moderately good house. An order
was received from a party of we'll
known Denver sporting men, who are

| Los Angeles, July 2.-Doubts as to
Packie McFarland's ability to get down
to weight were set at rest today when
he weighed but 1882 pounds at his
training quarters, just one-half pound
more than is required in the conditions
of his go with Welsh. The latter's
weight is but 1S1 pounds and he prob
ably will be around 1870 when he steps
into the ring.
Both men seem to be in excellen'
shape. Each has dropped the harder
portions of his work and will spenC

NELSON AND CANS
FIGHT TOMMORROW

The attention that the match has at
tracted in sporting circles can only
be accounted for by the fact that
the spectators are assured of getting
their moneys worth whenever Cans
and Nelson meet in the ring In their
previous bouts they have never failed
to put up fast and interesting fights.
and there is no reason to expect that
their meeting tomorrow will be an
exception.
Both fighters are in the best of con-
dition for the contest, if outward ap-
pearances and the confidence of their
respective camps count for anything
Cans is not inclined to hold the Dane
cheaply. though he is confident of his
ability to put him away and expects
to do the trick before the twentieth h
round is reached. Nelson knows what
he is going up against when he tackles
the champion and has trained faith
fully for the contest. He realizes the
fact that if he loses in the fight to-
morrow he is practically sure of being
relegated to the list OF has beens."
In the opinion of the best critics
Nelson will have a fair chance to win
the bout If Cans does not secure the
victory before the twentieth round
The staying powers of the coIored
fighter are not what they were a year
or two ago. and If he does not van
quish the Dane in the first half OF
the bout, the latter may wear him
down and defeat him before the END
of the 45-rOund encounter.

RACING CREW JUBILANT.

New York. July 2-VerbaI bets on a
horse race are not necessarily Illegal
in New York
This is the Interpretation placed by
the race track element here upon the
decision of Justice Biscoff of the su-
preme court. when he discharged from
custody Bookmaker Melville Collins,
charged with making wagers on a
horse race.
The court decided that such oral
bets were not contrary to law and the
racing element is jubilant in conse-
quence AS the case was selected by
the Jocek Cub. however. and as the
evidence was prepared by its own en-
ployes, many turfmen are dubious
about regarding it as a final victory
for the racing interests.
Justice Bischoff ruled that while YER
bal wagers might be permissible under
certain conditions. bookmaking and
pool-seIling are not legal.

ETON CREW GETS INTO FINALS.
Qualities for Grand Challenge Cup,
Beating Thames Rowing Club.

Henley. July 2.-Eton, which this
year for the first time entered crew
for the Grand Challenge cup, qualified
for the final heat of the race this morn
ing by beating the crew of the Thames
Rowing club in very close race, fin
ishing only three quarters of length
ahead.
Eton's success in this race is con-
sidered as a triumph for the English
style of rowing. as the Thames club
crew has partially adopted the style
of the Belgian crew, which won the
cup in 1907.
The final for the cup will be rowed
tomorrow, when Eton will meet Christ

ing beat New College by six lengths,
