DAVE JOHNSON LANDS
IN COUNTY JAIL
Gary Negro Charged With
Keeping a Disorderly
House.
A RODMAN is PLAINTIFF
Leader of Respectable Colored Ele-
ment Ready to Testify-Walter
Piper Also Arrested.

On the eve Of the opening of his great
hve-cent theater, on the south side. yes
terday afternoon. David johnson of
Gary was arrested by sherin Grant on
a warrant charging him with keeping
a .disorderly house" Another colored
man who has often been accused Of
the same misdemeanor. Walter Piper.
was taken to Crown Point also, where
he will have to account for his record
in the higher tribunal.
The warrant was sworn out by A
Rodman. plasterer. living in the south
end, who is one of the leaders of the
respectable element among the coIored
people of the city. Rodman had been
active in promotin gthe welfare of his
people and in driving from the city a
class of men such as Johnson and Piper.
Are Booked at Crown Point.
Rodman made a statement yesterday
that he swore out the warranth nm
that he swore out the warrants in the
upper court because he believed that
the case would be handled better in the
superior court than it would in Gary.
Rodman intends to push it to finish
and secure a conviction If possible with
fine that will amount to something.
Johnson and Piper were taken to
Crown Point by Sheriff Grant and were
booked at the Crown Point jail. 1t is
probable that they viii secure bail in
1 time for johnson to get back to Gary
tonight to witness the opening of his
new theater on Broadway. which was
| formerly saloon.

OWNERS OF BLIND
TIGERS ARRESTED
Ten Boarding House Keep
ers Sell Liquor With
out License.
NO LIQUOR IS CONFISCATED
Foreigners Keep Beverage Only in
Small Quantities-Arrest Has
Has No Bearing on Cases.

Warrants were sworn out yesterday
afternoon for the owners Of ten blind
pigs" in Gary. and by o'clock last
night five of them had been brought to
the station. Those arrested. however,
are not former proprietors of saloons
but are boarding house keepers OF the
variety that have disposed Of liquor
without the necessary licenses, long te-
fore the remonstrance was ever filed
before the commissioners.
Those brought to the station yester
day afternoon were: Anna Suaritch,
Twenty fifth and Connecticut; Mike Lee
mich, same address; Pete Niksitch. Sew
enteenth and Massachusetts street; Eva
Subon, Eighteenth and Massachusetts
street. and Rosie Kootivich, Massa-
chuetts street. near Seventeenth. The
above gave bond for their appearance
and will be tried this morning in Judge
Fitzgeralds court
No Liquor COnhscated.
No liquor was conhscated yesterday
as it is bought and sold in these places
in small quantities so that it will APP
pear as if they kere keeping it for
their own use instead Of dealing with
in Those arrested today will be charg-
ed with selling liquor without a license
rather than operating a blind tiger.
In this manner it will be possible to
secure a conviction at once. where l.
the case was sent to higher court il
would be necessary to wait nearly a
year before trial and then the proba-
bilities are that the prosecuting witness
would have disappeared.
The arrest of these foreigners has no
bearing on the saloon situation, as they
have always operated blind tigers and
have been arrested repeatedly for this
| offense ever since they have been in the
4 city.

Ostrowski stopped his rig to take Sam

about to alight from the buggy, near
his place of business. Leonard Fitz-

street at a gallop and the driver not
noticing the Ostrowski rig, a collision

WE WILL PROBABLY WAIT-BUT
WHY?

Tn another column in this issue OF
The Herald and News we publish a
very strong article from Prof. W. K.
Sigh on the necessity for bond is
sue in this county if we ever ex-
pect to build any roads Of a perma-
nent character. Prof. Sligh's ar
ticle presents the facts and the fig
ures, as gathered from the books of
the county officers. It will we'll re-
pay careful reading, and is an un-
answerable argument in favor Of the
bond issue.
Spartanburg county two years ago
defeated a bond issue for roads by
an overwhelming majority. On Tues
day the bond issue in that county was
defeated by but SO majority. It takes
no prophet to see that Spartanburg
will vote bonds in year or two. It is
too close for the politician to oppose
hereafter.
What pity the people Of Newberry
county can't see the drift Of things
and put themselves in the very front
rank Of progress. 1t is coming, be-
cause there is every reason for it. All
the facts are in favor Of this method
Of road construction. We must have
good roads, and this is the only way
to get them.
On next Tuesday the door Of oppor-
tunity will stand ajar for this coun-
ty. Why close it for a few years?
Why not enter now into broader and
better things? The county will in a
few years vote bonds Why not now?
As a pioneer in this matter we can
wait. But can the people who are d.
rectly interested afford it?
Mark this prediction: Some men
who are now strenuously opposing
the bond issue will in a few years be
among it's strongest advocates. Some
men who now oppose it will be
claiming credit for having helped vote
bonds. But il was ever thus.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-08-27

And Spartanburg lost the bond IS
sue by only SO votes. It is a great
pity, especially to come that near
taking a great forward movement and
then not do it. We felt sure that Spar
tanburg would make this advance step
and then it would be easier for other
counties to make it. But Spartanburg
has made progress. Only few years
ago a similar proposition was defeated
by a very large majority. Now the
majority is so small that it could
have been overcome and We are sure
some Of those who opposed the bonds
will. regret it for many days to come.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-08-27

can loub: thai. Properly used It is a
good thing. The trouble with so
many prohibilionists is that they do
not give any one who does not agree
with them credit for honesty of purpose
or sincerity of expression. In some
things some Of them are the most lntem-
perate Of people. If whiskey is an evil
in itself then its manufacture and
sale for all purposes ought to be abol-
ished. If it is to be sold by druggists
then the number Of drug stores will
materially increase.
We notice that in some Of the
counties the election will be con-
tested. Better accept the result and
60 to work on the people in those
counties and create a sentiment in fa-
vor Of prohibition and Of temperance.
The fact is there is a great deal less
drunkenness now than there was a
few years ago. But we would not
be surprised to see the legislature
at the next session pass State wide
prohibition law.
