DOES THE
POLICE An
INJUSTICE
Hammond Department In
censed at Reports That
Are Being Circulated by
the Gary Police Depart
ment These Days.

Mayor Thomas E. Knots and the crrv
administration at Gary are placing the
blame for the clamping down Of the
Id In Gary on the Hammond police.
whom they claim are not conhning their
efrorts 10 serve warrants. but are DO
Icing the town and securing evidence
against the proprietors of blind tig-
ers.
This hot shot was poured into the
driver for the Hammond Bottlfng
works, the owner of which is George
Drackert, one of the police commits
sioners for the city OF Hammond. The
driver. Terry Klucler. was recently
In Gary distributing his beverages in
the city. when numerous persons.
among them being customers of the
company. asserted that he ought not
to sell his goods in this city.
Told Them by City officials.
When asked the reason why the
told Klucker that the Hammond police
had their men in Gary securing evil
dence of blind tigers with the purpose
Of putting their places out of business.
This. they said. had been told them by
the city officials of Gary, who denied
the responsibility OF the present clos
ed" condition Of the town.
Mr. Drackert was incensed about tho
matter, not much because of the
fact that these charges were made to
his driver while in the discharge of his
duties in Gary. but because of the fact
that a reflection is cast upon the Ham
mond police force, who throughout the
Gary crusade have in no wise inter-
fered in the suppressing of vice. except
IN the serving of warrants placed in
their hands, which they had to serve.
Assertion an Injustice.
The police commissioner maintains
that the assertion that the Hammond
force is policing Gary is not only an
injustice to the people OF Gary but the
people Of Hammond as we'll In Gary
they have no right to Interfere in the
maintenance of law and order exeept
to serve warrants. and from another
viewpoint the people of Hammond
would not for a moment tolerate the
employment Of officers to be used for
the protection of another community.
In regard to this matter Chief Aust
gen said:
The Hammond police have never
in Gary affairs except to serve
warrants when they We're placed in our
hands. Under no circumstances have
they been used to secure evidence
against the proprietors Of blind tigers
or other violators of the law This re-
port is not only an untruth. but does
our police department a great inius-
tice We have heard of several other
instances where this charge has been
made bedie those reported by the driv-
er Of the Hammond Bottling works"

SAYS LAKE
WATER IS UNFIT
Indiana Health Official Adds
Report to That Of the
Michigan Board.
SIX SOLUTIONS OFFER Ed
Opening of Sag Channel to Drain
Sewage Believed the Real
Solution.

That the water of Lake Michigan ad-
Joining Lake county, Indiana, is pol
luted and unfit for drinking or domes-
tic use is the alarming statement con
tanned in paper included in the an
nual report OF the Lake Michigan wa
ter commission. which was issued YES
terday. DR.. H. E. Barnard chemist Of
the Indiana state board Of health Is
the person who condemns the water In
the south end Of the lake. and who
urges cooperation between the govern
ments of Illinois and Indiana with a
view to solving the problem of proper
ly disposing of sewage of Chicago and
other towns in Illinois and the north
ern part of Indiana.
As the most practicable and feasible
scheme it is suggested that channel
be opened through northern Indiana
to the Illinois river through which the
sewers of Hammond, Whiting and 9th
er towns would find an outlet to the
Mississippi river.
The alarming statement that the wa
ter in the south end of the lake is pol
luted IS made according to Secretary
OF Health Barnard Of Indiana, after a
most careful investigation of the wa
ters In his paper he said: The
chemical and archaeological survey of
the southern portion of Lake Michi-
gan adjoining Lake county shows the
water Of the lake to be grossly pol
luted and unfit for use as a source Of
water supply for drinking or domestic
purposes"
The waste from manufacturing
plants, the Calumet river. the Glucose
works. Standard Oil company and other
concerns is blamed largely in the sur
vey.
vailing the report Of the commissioner
suggests:
l. Use of filters to purify the
water.
. Plants to purify sewage be-
fore it is poured into the lake
g. Prevention of the dumping Of
dredgings within five miles Of any
water intake.
4. Abatement Of the glucose
sewer.
5. Abandonment of the lake as
a source of water supply and the
use Of wells
6. Opening of channel to the
Illinois river to convey all sew
age away from the lake.
Members of the commission who read
the report believe the first and second
methods impracticable. but advocated
the third and fourth. The fifth is con-
sidered absurd, while the sixth is look
problem.

Especial to THE TINES


Crown Point. Ind, Aug. 4-There iq
to be no let up, no compromise. The
Anti-Saloon league in Indiana. repre-
sented by Attorneys w. J. Matthews
and Otto Bruce, have decided on a pol
icy of determination towards the sa-
looms in Lake county.
At first they gave their attention to
only those saloons which did not come
up to the requirements of the law, in
such matters as the manner of the pub
hcation of their notices, the location on
a highway and other legal technicali-
ties.
Now they are demonstrating against
the individual saloonkeepers. whom
they claim are not ht to conduct sa-
looms. The men who are keeping dis
orderly houses. the men who have had
trouble in their saloons.
ENFORCE SUNDAY CLOSING.
The next step will be remonstrances
against saloonkeepers who do not OBJ
serve the Sunday closing law. Every
saloonkeeper who keeps his place open
on Sunday, who fails to take down the
screens and blinds and even those who
are guilty of minor infractions of the
law will be demonstrated against.
In fact. the only saloonkeeper who
will not be molested are those who obey
the law in every minute particular En-

VALUABLE TRACT or LAND
REVERTS TO RAILROAD

Spokane, Wash. Mar. 20-Ten mil
lion dollars is the estimated value OF
the tract, including 100000 acres of
choice timber and ~g.icultural lands
in the Wallace district IN northern
Idaho. which has just reverted to the
Northern Pacific Railway company, ac.
eording to a decision by the commie-
sioners of the general land Office re.
ceiyed In Spokane and Coeur d'Alene.
Idaho This tract has been in con-
troversy eight years. II was classed
as mineral land by the commission IN
1891. when the railroad company filed
a protest with the department against
this classification. The first hearing
was given In 1902, when the Northern
Pacific gained 4 victory, but this was
afterwa-d set aside and a new hear
ing granted after much delay In 1906,
Since which some of the ablest land
lawyers have battled In the courts.
The company gained the decision fol.
lowing a motion TO review the case.
The tract is south and east Of the city
Of Wallace and covers 20 townships
A cursory reading of the decision
shows the company proved that the
land is adapted to forestry and agri.
culture and was wrongly classified as
mineral land.
