Who TIPPED
TIL: RAID To
THE INMATES?

An immoral house in the first sub
division, right in the business district
of Gary. has been tolerated by the
people of that district until Wednesday
night, when the miscreants made has
ty exit through the rear of the build
ing just before the arrival of the po-
lice. The complaint to the police. in
which the above charge was made by
residents of the Moody building, Sew
enth avenue and Broadway. and the
hurried action of c. Q. Holmes, agent of
the building. in having them expelled,
is responsible for their short-lived ca
reer.
Criticize the Police.
The exit of the man and two women
in taking French leave from the build
ing was the only humorous part of
the affair, in the eyes of the respectable
tenants. One of their former neigh
bors in describing the scene said:
THE police were notified to come
over and raid the place the day that
they left. A little bird seems to have
warned them Of the menacing danger to
their edifying vocation, however, and
a short time later with goods cramped
into their suitcases. they softly stole
through the rear corridor tip-toed down
the rear stairs and through the alley

ready overloaded grips a suit of still
wet garments which had been pinioned

kiddo Was Her Name.
As near as could be learned from
the bedlam Of noise that emanated from
the place at all hours of the day and
night principally night, the names of
the two young women wha habited this
place were Irene" and "Kiddo." The
name of the man who rented the apart
ment was Anderson. His first name
could not be ascertained.
When the complaint was made to the
Gary police by the tenants of the
building they explained to them that
they could take no action because of a
lack Of direct evidence. Later, how
ever whe nthe whole town, or at least
the first subdivision. had been aroused
by the nauseating odor which the thing
caused. the police decided that they
would take it upon themselves to in
vestigate the matter thoroughly. For
tunately enough for the ''undesirables
they managed to make their exist Just

In speaking of the matter yesterday

Sees Smoke Pouring Out of
LindIey Hall, Calls the Fire
Department, Then Battles
Flames With Hose.
A LABORATORY ALMOST
DESTROYED BY FIRE
But Watchamn Moore and the
Local Firemen Saved the
Building - Students Cheer
The Fire Fighters.

Only the prompt action of Willard
Moore, night watchman at Earlham
college, saved Lindley hall from per-
haps total destruction by fire last ev-
ening.
At about $50 o'clock, Moore. who
was making his hourly rounds of the
grounds, noticed smoke ensuing from
the windows on the third floor of
Lindley hall. He rushed into the
building and up to the biological lab
oratory where he discovered the room
filled with dense smoke and the south
ern partition burning fiercely. Real
izing that it would be impossible to
fight the fire alone, he fastened down
to the campus and turned in an alarm
from box 512. Moore then, hurried
back to the burning building and.
seizing hose. began fighting the
flames, while he awaited the arrival
of the department. By the time the
department had completed its long
run the flames were under control
and the fire was easily extinguished.
Escaping Gas ignited.
1t is thought that a rubber tube
slipped off of the imbedding oven in
the laboratory, allowing the escaping
gas to ignite and caused the blaze.
The imbedding oven is allowed to
burn continuously. 1t is used in the
preparation of biological specimens
that would be spoiled If permitted to
get cold. A large can of parafine
which was ignited by the blaze caus-
ed the large amount of dense, black
smoke which spread over the entire
building giving the appearance of a
very dangerous fire. The specimen
cases were totally destroyed and a
quantity of apparatus used in max
ing experiments was consumed by the
flames.
The damage however was not ex-
tensive. A number of stuffed birds
were partially ruined by water but
will require several days, however, to
arrange the disorder in the labratory
room and during that time the classes
in that department will necessarily be
discontinued. it is said.
Firemen Are Cheered.
The students were just finishing
dinner when the fire department ar
rived, and Immediately offered their
assistance to the firemen. However
it was not needed and the firemen
were able to cope with the flames
without any aid from the "rah rah"
boys. When the fire was finally put
out the college yells were given by
the students for Moore and the fire
men whose gallant fight prevented
the destruction of the hall.
1t was particularly fortunate for the
college that night watchman Moore
chanced to be passing in the vicinity
of I.indley hall when the fire broke
out. Had it not been discovered when
it was or been permitted to gain more
headway it is very probable that the
entire building would have been con-
sumed.

DECISION IS MADE
Supreme Court Rules the
Three Mile Gravel Road
Law Is illegal.
DISCRIMINATION is SHOWN
palladium Specially

Indianapolis, Nov. 19.-The supreme
court has decided that the three-mile
gravel road law is unconstitutional,
and this will make more work for
the next legislature. The decision
was handed down yesterday by Judge
Jordan. Under that law the county
commissioners were required to order
the construction of a gravel road not
exceeding three miles in length on
the filing of petition signed by fifty
or more freeholders and voters of any
township, which includes any city or
town having population OF less than
10000. the cost of such road to be
paid by taxation Of the entire town
ship.
Judge Jordan holds that the act is
special and local. in that it applies
only to townships of a certain char
acter instead of to all townships alike
The decision was made in a case
sent up from Hamilton county. A
great many three-mile roads have
been built under this law, which was
passed in 1905, and the question Of
the validity of the bonds issued for
them will probably cause much
trouble throughout the state.

Holders of Township Gravel
Road Paper Wondering
Where They Stand.
BANKER HOLDS OUT HOPE
e. II. GATES OF THE OPINION
THAT A SPECIAL SESSION OF
THE LEGISLATURE WILL REM.
EDY DEFECT IN LAW,

There are quite number of people
in Wayne county who are today Won
dering if the township gravel road
| bonds they hold in their possession will
ever be worth more than the paper
they are printed on.
Two sets of such bonds have been
issued in this county, one for the con-
struction of road in Washington
township, and the other for the con-
struction of South l. street, Wayne
township. The former bond issue
amounted to $16.6 900, and the latter to
$4,000. 1t is believed that the
greater part of these bonds are held
by Wayne county investors, though
some have been sold outside the coun-
ty. Then there are number of
Wayne county people who have pur-
chased bonds issued by townships in
other counties, purchasing them from
brokerage firms in Indianapolis and
elsewhere.
Gates Is Encouraging.
Edwin H. Gates. of the Union Ma
tional bank. which institution never
dealt in gravel road bonds for the rea-
son that the law under which they had
been issued. had never been passed up-
on by the supreme court-which tribu-
nal yesterday declared the law uncon-
stltutlonal. stated to the Palladium
this afternoon that there was a chance
that the bonds might be legalized.
will call special session of the leg
islature so that an effort can be made
to redraft the law in a constitutional
manner" stated Mr.. Gates.
These township gravel road bonds
are held by some of the best people in
the state, and some of the small banks
throughout Indiana are congested with
them. These bonds. as a rule. have
been sold to the most cautious and
conservative people-ones' who would
hesitate about purchasing good rail
road securities-as they believed them
to be gilt-edged."
Question Being Asked.
The $4,000 issue of bonds for the
South L street improvement were pur-
SAaSeu ny lHe DichtHSoH lFuSL IOInpa-
ny, and the S16,GC0 issue of bonds for
the construction of the Washington
township road. were purchased by
Thomas B. Milligan of New Castle
The bonds were then sold by these
parties to private individuals.
The question is will the county con-
tinue to meet the payments of these
bonds. or will the purchasers of the
bonds be the losers Different views
are entertained by persons who have
studied the decision of Judge Jordan
Some attorneys say that the bond
holders will be the losers. while others
claim that they will be paid in full, be-
