VICE SHOWS ITS
YELLOW Teeth
State Witness In Gary Raid Case
Found In His Burning House S
Rescued From Death
$4,000 REWARD.

Vice in Gary has shown its yell
low fangs. Arson and a wanton
assault on a witness in a resort
raid case took place last night and
representatives of The Times were
threatened with death if the cru
SADIE against the vicious resorts
continued. In a letter received at
The Times Office, which has been
turned over to a United States
postal inspector, representatives Of
the paper ard its editor were in
formed that their "bullet-ridden
bodies would be found some morn
ing" unless the war, being waged
on the resorts, stopped. The Times
will give 500 for information that
will lead to the arrest and convic-
ton Of the letter writer. In the
meantime The Times crusade
against the vile resorts in the
Patch" and lax civic conditions
in Gary has only just begun. 1t
seems to be necessary to reiterate
that The Times is not to be bribed,
bullied, blufFed, baked or beaten.

a condition bordering on anarchy
exists in Gary today as result Of
the activity of Deputy Prosecutor Will
liam F. Hodges in threatening to wipe
out some of the most infamous resorts
in the new steel city.
Last night at 1920 Shepherd King.
the principal witness against Charles
Jackson, a notorious Gary dive-keeper,
had his house burned over his head
and narrowly escaped death in the fire.
Other witnesses in the case have been
inundated and threatened until they
feal for their lives should they tell
what they know Of the keepers.
Threatening letters have been sent
out over the city in the hope of fright
ening certain persons into acquiesence
and federation of conditions.
The city is in the grip Of criminals,
and the police department and the city
officials are helpless to put a stop TO
their crimtnality, if they are not open
ly countenancing their actions.
King Narrowly Escapes.
Shepherd King last night paid the
penalty for his stand against immoral
fty in the south end Of the city, and

Jackson and the inmates of his disor-

escaped suffocation.

swore out the warrant for the arrest

Nothing but the truth. DR.. Burton,

about time to put the story into cold
storage. D J. Paskwietz, superitend-
ent Of the lubricating department and

his knowledge and belief the Standard

makes a fine grade Of axle grease that
would compare favorably with some OF
the so-called butter that is put on the

DUTIES OF POLICE.

It is as much the duty of a peace
officer to prevent a crime as it is
his duty to cause the offender to
be apprehended and punished after
the crime has been committed, and
when he witnesses a breach of the
peace, it is duty to put an end to
the breach, and not only that, but
as a means Of restraining the Of
fender, it is his duty to make an
arrest, and detain the offending
parties in custody. It is nowhere
in this, or any other statute that
an arrest shall be made without a
warrant A felon, who is seen to
commit crime, should not be per
mitted to escape. The safety of
society requires that he be at once
arrested and held. It will not do
to say that a peace officer, by vir-
tue of the above section, is allowed
to decide for himself whether he
will make arrest upon view without
warrant. This statute does not make
him sole Judge of the expediency
of making an arrest under such
circumstances. It was his duty to
make arrest before the statute was
enacted and it cannot be said that
this statute has in any way cur
tailed that duty.
