DAYS HAPPENINGS
 IN WASHINGTON

Washington, June 7.-The most import ant happenings in the national capital today were as follows:
 Whisky, in the legal meaning of the word, Is whisky even when coloring or favoring matter is added, according to an opinion rendered to President Taft by Lloyd W. Bowers, Solicitor General of the United States. He holds that as such coloring and fiavoring have been used in all the history of whisky such addition cannot be illegal or incompatible with the name whisky. The decision, however, Is not the final word in the case.
 The Porto Rican bill, unamended. was passed by the House. It provides that when the Porto Rican legislature fails to pass an appropriation bill the same appropriations shall hold as provided in the last bill passed.
 The cotton schedule was considered in the Senate. Little progress was made in voting on various schedules because of much debate, especially between Senator Aldrich for the conservatives and Sena- tor Beyeridge for the progressiyes as to the duty of members to hold to party lines and to platform pledges in voting on the bill. By the narrow margin of 32 to 2S the amendment of Senator Dolli- yer to strike out the finance committees 5 provision fixing duty of cent square yard on mercerization was lost

TAKE REFUGE IN THE JAIL

Montgomery. June 7-(Special)-Only by good use of their legs were J. c. Burke and J. H. Steincap, detectives in the employ of the Law and Order league, delivered from death in the streets of the city this afternoon. They were set upon by mob of men, badly beaten and chased into the county jail, which they sought as the only means of saving them from being killed. The trouble was brought about by sympathizers of the saloon men who are now, to the number of 40, under bond charged with selling liquors without authority of law.
 Just after court was adjourned for the day, about 1:3O o'clock, the crowd filed out of the courthouse and into Washing ton street on the way to the downtown districts. Burke and steincap were walk ing together, the latter carrying a suit case with several bottles of liquors, la beled and marked as evidence to be used against the accused. Expressions of con- tempt were heard on all sides and in a few moments a feeling was worked up for immediate action.
 As the crowd was about midway the street a man rushed up and struck Burke a heavy blow in the back of the head. The latter turned to see who had made the attack and was given another blow like it in the face. About the same time Burke cried to his associate to run with the grip. which he did Burke, at the same moment, dashed Into a stairway that goes up to the office of Hill, Hill & Whit ing, lawyers, thinking, as he said, to draw the crowd away so that the other could get away with the testimony"
 Burke did draw the crowd, which fol- lowed him into the stairway and beat him fearfully. His face was pounded into a bloody mass on one side and his body bruised and torn in many places. He was dragged to the ground and damned upon the sidewalk a number of times. At last he broke away and made a bee line for the jail, where Jailer Pettus had the door open for his reception.
 In the meantime Steincap, with the grip, tried to get into the office of a lawyer, next door to the Journal office, but was turned back. The crowd jumped on him and while some were beating and jerking him about a man grabbed the grip and the testimony" and ran away. Steincap then broke loose and ran through the street with half a dozen in hot pursuit and barely threw himself into the jail In time to keep from be- ing fatally hurt

Detectives Talk.

The correspondent of this paper saw both the detectives In jail and neither seemed afraid They said that flight was the only means of saving their lives Tn fact said Burke, T never expected to get out alive when the crowd had me down on the stairway. I was terribly beaten and 1t seemed that my chance to get out was very slim" The other man said: What was there for me to do? l ran to keep from being killed l tried to keep the grip and would have done so but for the crowd that overpowered me"
 In short time after the rioters had dispersed the attorneys for the Law and Order league, with President G. G. Miles, and the Rev. Bob Jones, who has been taking an active part in the movement to have the law enforced, called at the Jail and the detectives were taken out They then went before Justice of the Peace Boiling Young and swore out war rants, charging robbery in taking the grip, it being thought that a case of this kind could be made easier than for assault with intent to murder.
 Those for whom warrants were sworn out follow: John Hannon, Lee Cardwell, Frank Starr, Frank Wilson and Malcolm Hall. About the same time mass meet ing of citizens was called to express public condemnation of the outrage, as most of the people are unhesltatingly calling it.

Action Is Condemned.

Six hundred men crowded into the Dex- ter Avenue Methodist church tonight to protest against the lawlessness that was illustrated in the attack of a mob upon two detectives on the streets this after noon. By rising vote it was agreed that the prohibition laws must be en- forced and the city rescued from the dis regard of law that seems to have got ten hold of 1t.
 G. G. Miles, president of the law and Order league. presided and said the peo- pie had determined to see the laws ob- served. Rev. Bob Jones said there might be martyr for the case and if he were, then he was ready to go.
 F. P. Glass was not for prohibition, but stood for enforcement of all laws Like sentiments were expressed by a dozen others. R. H. Smith of Birming- ham spoke for observance of law and gave $10 to the cause.
 Reports of a determination to take the two detectives out tonight and kill them were sent early to Sheriff Hood and he doubled the guards at the jail, but later on MT. Hood was informed by the sa- loon men that no such thing would be attempted. There is reason to believe that more trouble will come tomorrow when the trials at the courthouse are re- stunned.
 The homes of President G. G. Miles and Attorney J. Lee Holloway of the Law and Order league are guarded tonight, as it was feared attempts might be made to burn them.
 Trials Delayed.
 The trials of the 39 men accused of violating the liquor laws of the state, set for today before Judge J. B. Gaston of the county court, were delayed by a motion to quash on the ground that the warrants were not legally drawn. It was held that the warrants ought not to have been issued save on the sworn testimony of witnesses in writing and after care ful investigation had been made to de- termine the truth of the accusations.
 The other side argued that 1t was not necessary to thus go into case. It was held that the testimony necessary to the issuance of a warrant is such as to in-

START A POPULAR MOVE

A number of cigar stores in Gary are
fitting up the rear of their establish
ments, or have already done so, with
tables and magazines. creating an in
visiting place for the young men to
lounge, smoke. talk and play games
and the idea deserves commendation
In all cities, and in Gary especially,
there are hundreds OF men who have
left their homes in various sections of
the country 10 come to this city to
better themselves, and with no perma-
nent home they seek the companion
ship Of their friends in public places
The only valid excuse for a saloon
that has ever been advanced is that it
constitutes a rendezvous for men where
they may spend an evening Of pleas
ure with their friends Although the
saloon serves the purpose the atmos-
phere of the surroundings. as a rule,
is bad. the character Of many of the
habitues are undesirable and it makes
perpetual drunkards and influences men
to drink who have never before had a
desire to form the habit.
These places in the cigar stores for
pleasure and social intercourse there
fore seem the logical fullllment Of the
desire OF the young men for a place
to congTegate, to enjoy themselves
without necessarily any great expense
in a clean and wholesome manner. This
idea of the cigar stores is a good one
and deserves patronage.

CHICAGO COPS
HAVE STOPPED
WORK NOW

The work of Sheriff Thomas Grant
in solving the Water Valley automobile
mystery is being generally commended
The case at the beginning seemed hope
less and only by following the small
est OF elews was Grant able to finally
learn who made up the party that
went to the Justedt farm in the ma
chine. who was res ponsible for its de-
struction. and what the motive for
wrecking an expensive machine.
Now that the motive has been learn
ed and it has been proven that no one
but the owners of the machine are the
losers, it is believed that the case will
be dropped
A Chicago paper has the following
20 say today:
Captain stephen b. Wood of the de-
tective bureau, announced last evening
that the police have ceased investigat-
ing the case involving the taking of an
automobile belonging to S. r. Smalley,
1877 Dearborn street and the subse-
quent smashing and burying of the
machine near De Motto Ind. smalley
declined to tell Captain Weed the name
of the man who paid him 9A.7O0 for the
auto. The only thing I wanted to
clear up was the name OF the person
said to hae paid the money to Smalley,'
said Captain Wood. He refused to tell
me. so the case has been dropped.
