PROSPECTS
LABOR DAY
ARE: GREAT
Immense Celebration Is to
Be Held in East Chicago
in September; Hammond
Man Says It Will Be Big
gest Ever.

The committees of the laboring men
who will have charge of the Labor day
celebration in East Chicago met last
night at the home Of Joe Kasper, where
they made their reports and discussed
the progress of their plans.
The report of the prize committee to
the effect that they had raised $3.50 in
cash and prizes n East Chicago alone
was received with enthusiasm, and it is
believed that this amount can be in
creased to twice that amount in the
rest Of the county
Joe Kasper, who is a member of the
executive committee, said last night:
L have been connected with large
number of Labor day celebration in the
past few years. but 1 have never seen
one where the prospects looked so
bright as they do now. think beyond
question we will have the biggest day
this year that the county has ever seen.
Everybody is working hard and things
are coming our way Many of the mill
men at East Chicago who have been
working on night shifts will be work
ing days in a short time. and they will
then be ready to pitch in and help us
make the preparations at East Chicago

4 BLAZE
Of LIGHT

Beginning tonight six new arches
will illuminate West State street, just
the same as East State street is light
ed. The enterprising business men on
this live thoroughfare realize that their
money is well invested in this propo-
sition, and all of them deserve credit
for their progressiveness. The six
arches Will extend from Holman street
to Morton court.
On Holman street the situation is
discouraging. 1t is true that some Of
the busienss men are equally as pro-
gressive as those on State street. and
while there are few who are trying TO
drive a hard bargain there are few
who absolutely refuse 10 spend cent
on the proposition. Unless these gen
tlemen have a change Of heart. Holman
street will be the side street that leads

.CARREN
PLEADS
GUILTY
Gary Gambler Admits That
He Was Proprietor of a
Gaming House, and Is
Fined in Hammond City
Court.

A.McCarren of Gary this morning
pleaded guilty to the charge of keeping
a gambling house before Judge w. w
Mcmahon Of the Hammond city court
and was fined $40 and costs, amounting
to $40. The entire outfit of gambling
apparatus was ordered by the court
to be turned over to the sheriff and
destroyed. The value of the confis-
Gated goods is estimated at over 1000.
The case Of James Rogers has not
come to trial up to the present time,
and it Is believed that his case will be
contested on the grounds that since Nc
Carren was found guilty of being the
owner of the gambling house that Rog-
ers could not have owned it also.
Attorney W J. McAleer of Hammond,
who has been retained by Rogers. an
nounced this morning that the latter
case would be fought and that there
was no likelihood of plea of guilty
bein gentered.
Wilhelm FaiIs to Appear.
A plea of guilty on one Of the six
charges against McCarren is the best
that the prosecution could have hoped
for. This entities the court to destroy
the paraphernalia which was taken
or not he could have fined etaoi-
from the place on Broadway. whether
or not he could have been fined on any
of the other charges, which, however
We're later nolle pressed.
One of the strange incidents Of the
case this morning was the failure of f.
Wilhelm. the prosecuting witness
against Rogers. to apear at the trial
The case was delayed as long as pos
sible awaiting for his appearance. but
the court and the prosecutor We're in
formed that McCarren was ready TO
plead guilty. 50 the case was brought
to trial
Several other witnesses which were
to appear against the gamblers failed
to come at the Hammond city court
this morning.
