ing to get their bill passed for a CON
tinuous court at Crown Point. returned
Saturday evening feeling that if the
bill had been introduced earlier in the
week its passage looked almost GER

The bill passed the senate with
large majority and on Friday morning
ii was taken before the house commit

then that a number of the county seat
attorneys called upon Governor Mar
shall, as they felt that if he looked
upon the bin with favor the chances
for it's passage was certain.
While Governor Marshall gave no in
timetion that he would veto the bill.
he gave them no satifaction whatever.
so they were compelled to busy them
selves in the house to get the bill out
of the. house committees hands They
succeeded in doing this and the bill
passed the first and second reading

try as hard as they could. the attorneys
could not get the bill up for the final

repeated efforts to bring the bill up

An investigation followed which re-
suited in the order. It is understood
that the order is directed more par

East Chicago is by no means exempt.

which the complaints were made were
located in the Harbon However. it is
known that there were number

The clergymen and the white rib
boners, however. declare that the new
order will work untold good to the
community.
Many men both in East Chicago and
Indiana Harbor who are inclined to be
liberal in their views and would have
had no objection to little gambling
under proper restrictions, have beer
vehement in their condemnation of the
open manner in which the local games
were run, claiming that there was nc
protection to young boys who woulc
ordinarily never think of risking theil
money in games of chance did they moi
constantly see it all about them This
fact alone has brought gambling il
East Chicago and Indiana Harbor into
greater disrepute than would other
wise have been the case.

prevalent has been poker but roulette

practiced, though in a limited degre'

TOWN BOARD TO MOVE
INTO LARGER QUAIERs
Minnesota Block to Be His
tory for Scenes of Leg
islation.
REVISION OF ORDINAN CE
Change is Needed in Law According
to Which Building Permits
Are Granted.

Tie meeting tomorrow afternoon of
the town board will be held in the new
roomos of the Calumet Savings and
Trust company at 656 Broadway. After
spending nearly two years in the dingy
and cramped quarters in the Minnesota
block, they will now move again, this
time the change being but temporarily,
until the new city hall is completed.
The rooms on the second floor Of
the Minnesota block will become hist
oric because of the multitude of legis-
lation which has been enacted in this
place. The building up of the town and
it's period of transforms ton from the
crude settlement that it was to the
present metropolitan city was done un-
der the supervision and ordinances
passed by the town board IN these
rooms.
The meeting place in the Office Of
the Calumet Savings and Trust compa-
ny will be larger and more convenient
for the few short months until the
new city hall is completed The city
will also have the use of their vaults
for the purpose of depositing their
records and other valuable documents

May Revise Building Ordinance.
It is thought that a the meeting to-
morrow the board viii take some ac-
tion in regards to revising and amend
ing the building ordinance which is
very lax in regards to the building Of
shacks.
During the past week permits were
granted to over two dozen foreigners
to build shacks in South Gary and
these unsightly structures are by no
means a credit to the city.
The building ordinance provides that
where house or shack has been built
additions may be added without Sc
curing a building permit, providing
that the Improvement does not cost over
/ 100000 With the large number of
/ foreigners arriving in Gary each day
/ the presnt owners of shacks and the
\ boarding house bosses are adding small
additions to their presnt quaters which
re both unsightly and brings about the
fact that something must be done to
prevent it.
The ordinance is also said to be IN
! constitutional by the reason that ii
does not provide any penalty what
soever for violation of the ordinance

is now in force in Gary. was at the
time of its adoption by the town trus-

first OF January, this arrangement
having been made in order to accom-

be the terminus as formerly. A
change is also made in the schedule.
The train will leave Raleigh at 6:15

Election Quiet Affair.

The town election Monday was
very quiet. There was no opposi-
ton and little interest was felt. Many
persons in fact did not go to the polls
to vote. Either forgot it or knowing
what the result would be were salts
fed to let it go at that. The prima-
ries settled the question. The contest
ended there and the nomination was
equivalent to election. The voting
Monday was only necessary to legal
ly fix the status of things-ratify the
nominations that had been made.
Those elected were:

the party enjoyed a delightful picnic

by Mr.. John Leach who had also been

Sparks Show.

The John H. Sparks Show last
Thursday fulfilled expectations. 1t
had been seen here on previous occa-
sions and it was known for it's meri-
torious exhibitions. And we were as
sured that the show had been greatly
strengthened and was better this
season. This was evidenced in the
equipment as we'll as the performance.
1t is not a large show but it is a good
One-better in fact, what there is of
it, than some of the big ones. The
stock was in fine condition, the
wagons and cages glittering in fresh
paint, the paraphernalia bright and
clean in appearance The perform
ance was good, the work on the hori-
zOntal bars, head balancing on th e
trapeze and the acting of the two
men and two little girls on the high
bars. the best ever seen here, while the
acrobats and flying ring performers
were very good. A new feature was
the big elephant stretching out and
lying down on the trainer while the
two smaller ones stood on their hind
legs and put their fore feet up on the
sides of the big one. When this act
was over the two small elephants
took the man up in their shouts
and carried him out of the ring as
if he had been dead. The riding was
tame in comparison with the whirl-
wind and finished acts of the Tough
lin boys, but the management does
not lay claim to any championship
in this line. This is a new feature of
the Sparks show not seen here before.
Leaping from the ground and taking
the horses back in a standing posi-
ton is no ordinary feat and the
young man did this, riding two and
four horses in another act also.
A notable thing about the Sparks
show is the good order and absence
of profanity on the part of the en-
plOyes and the freedom from graft
and gamblers. The officials are
courteous and gentlemanly and the
performers demean themselves as be-
coming the Sparks management.
To quote the Scotland Neck Com
monwealth which is not given to full
some f1attery and would not bestow
praise where it was not deserved
1.-The John II. Sparks Show is smaller
than. many, but what there is OF it is
worth seeing, and people of the most
refined sensibilities may see what
there is without abashment. The
| show is continually improving, and,
such show deserves to be patronized
that it may improve"
