RING LENDS
PROTECTION
To OUTLAW
Notorious Gary Dive Keeper
Continues Outrageous
Violations Under Shelter
of Knots Favor Politi-
clans Visit Den.

Charles Jackson the notorious Gary
dive keeper, gambler and member Of
the Knots political ring" who has
been driven out of Chicago on ac-
count of his lawlessness is still per-
mitted to remain in Gary.
Continued reports of law violations
such as lighting and disorder, crap
games and the Illicit sale of liquor,
are being circulated about Gary in the
face of the respectable people of Gary.
Jackson's fragrant law violations are
as open again. as they were at any
time during the past six months and
not only does he seem to be protected
by Thomas z. Knots. but the man who
seeks the nomination for mayor of
Gary is visitor in the den.
Last Sunday night Mr.. Knots and
Building Commissioner William Klever
were visitors at Jacksons place, the
latter only remaining for few mo-
ments. Knots was the center of at
traction and was surrounded by a large
crowd of Jackson's coppers and other
low class negroes who frequent the
place Beer and whisky flowed freely
and no attempt was made to cover up
the fact save that one Of the local
police officers was stationed on the
outside as a lookout.
On Saturday night a big crap game
was in progress, which later ended in
free for all fight in which several
negroes were much the worse for the
encounter. The affair was hushed up
there being no report of it at the local
police station and the affair would not
have been known only from the fact
that Jackson's place Is watched con-
tinuously as are all the rest.
Jackson now claims he runs a res
taurant. but his place is no better than
It was several months ago. Last Sat
urday night his place was crowded and
crap games and poker were going on
full tilt Police officer Jenkins the
greater part Of the time was stationed
near the Jackson place, and If he did
not known of the operation of the crap
game he could have easily have in
vestigated it from the noise and dis
order inside. Beer and whisky were
sold to all who asked for It, there be-
ing no attempt to keep it a secret.

Ca~Se of the Disaster.
The cause of the cave-in is attri-

pump stopped, the ditch, which was 25
feet deep and about 300 feet long. be-
gan filling with water and this got
behind the sheeting. undermining the
bank in which there was a vein of
quicksand and forcing the sheeting on

sons, laborers, and all but five of them
managed to escape before the crash
came. the hricklayers making their way

KNOTS POLICE
START TROUBLE
Invade a Democratic Meet
ing at Tolleston and
Break It Up.
POLITICIANS GREATLY ANGERED
Meeting Was a Private One at
Which Party Leaders
Gathered.
(special ID THE TIMrs.l

Tolleston, Ind. Sept. 7.-One of the
rankest cases of police activity in poll
tiles was that Saturday night in which
Crolius meeting. on Washington
street between Thirteenth and Four
teenth avenue, ToIleston, was broken
up by the activity of Sergeant Charles
Catey and officer Peter Juric
During the scene that followed it
seemed as if the police and the men
present at the meeting would come to
blows, but that was averted by the
cooler headed party leaders who de-
cided that It would be best to adjourn
rather than to precipitate a roit in the
hall
The meeting on Washington street
was a private one in which the party
leaders were laying their plans for the
campaign In the south end. While in
the midst of the discussion the two
officers walked into the meeting and
took seats in the front row They
were politely told that the meeting was
private and their presence was not de-
sired. They replied that they did not
care whether it was or not, thereby
angering some of the warmer of the
party men.
An argument ensued in which it
seemed that the policemen would be
mobbed for an instance. but instead of
starting trouble the meeting was
merely adjourned without giving the
officers the satisfaction of starting
anything, or hearing what was taking
place.
A few days ago Frank Sarge, one of
the foreigners employed in the street
cleaning department, essayed to break
up a republican meeting in the same
manner by hurting impertinent ques-
lions 1T the speakers. He was quickly
elected from the hal and caused no
further disturbance. Democrats, as well
as republicans, are becoming incensed
at the activity of the city employees
who have been forced to ACTIVITY in be-
half of the Knots forces or lose their
positions. The methods employed by
these men will compare favorably with
the rankest "ward-healing" method
ever perpetrated in the larger cities
where decency and honesty is an I'M
known factor in politics.
