The Indiana Harbor Liquor
Dealers Association Takes
Drastic Steps Toward No

Indiana Harbor Ind, June s.-The
Indiana Harbor Liquor Dealers asso-
citation yesterday took steps to close up
the saloon run by the notorious Brick
Bailey, whose East Chicago place.
which he sold out a couple of months
ago, had acquired a bad reputation on
account of certain scandals involving
young girls who frequented the estab-
lishment.
The license committee of the asso-
citation, including James Kroupa, Max
Salmon and Wolf Marcovich. appeared
before the county commissioners, who
met yesterday in Crown Point. to pro-
test against the granting of a license
for the new place recently opened by
Bailey at the intersection of Michigan
avenue with the Pennsylvania tracks,
and at present running without a IL
cense other than that granted by the
city. The license was asked for in the
name of Ernest Miller, a barber doing
business in East Chicago, and upon the
representations of the members of the
committee. who declared that Miller 5
application was not made in good faith
was refused.
The committee also protested against
the granting of a license TO Frank D
Ross, the proprietor of the new Avenue
Inn on the grounds that Mr.. Ross, who
is from Chicago was not resident OF
the state of Indiana
Mr.. Ross. through his attorney, how
ever, presented an affidavit to the efect
that he has held residence in the city
of indianapolis for the past four and
one-half years. and his application wa;
honored.
In the case of the Bailey license
which was being taken out in the name
of Miller, the committee gave it al
their opinion that the latter, Whose
trade is that of barber. had no inten
ton of running the saloon, and that his
name was being used merely as a blind

Supt. Lowall is originally from the

Indianapolis, Ind, June S.-Consider-
able surprise has been expressed be-
cause the board of state tax com
missioners did not make as large a re-
duction in the valuation of property
which it assessed this year as had
been expected. It was believed that
the board would reduce the total as
sessed valuation of corporate proper
ty in the state at least S10.0o0,000, but
when the compilation of the figures
was completed it was found that the
total reduction was only s1,754,303 It
is said that the reductions that were
made were due to the fact that rail-
roads earned less money last year
than usually and that telephone COM
panies suffered heavy losses last year
from storms, thus decreasing the value
Of their properties.
The decrease on these two proper
ties alone amounted 10 $4.074.125. The
decrease on electric roads, amounting
to S3,767, brought the decrease up to
the amount given.
All the other properties assessed by
the board. including pipelines. tele-
graph lines and equipment. sleeping
cars, express company property, and
that of transportation companies
showed an increase amounting to 81

ROAD SEEMS
TOBE SURE
THING NOW
Company Headed by United
States Senator A. J. Hop
kins Causes Sensation at
Crown Point Court Yes
terday.

1t begins TO look as though an inter-
urban line between Gary and Crown
Point IS assured at last. A company
headed by Albert J. Hopkins, United
States senator from Illinois until March
4 and promoted by F Y. Keator. caused
sensation in the county seat when
the above-named representatives of the
company appeared before the county
commissioners at their session yester-
day and made application for fran
chise from the Gary city limits at
Thirty-seventh street and the Little
Calumet river to Crown Point.
All of this territory is outside of the
corporate limits of both Of the cities at
the termini of the road and conse-
quently comes under the jurisdiction OF
the county commissioners.
Must Guarantee TO Build.
The county commissioners recorded
the plea of Messrs. Hopkins and Keator
and laid the matter aside until the next
regular meeting. 1t is understood that
the county commissioners will give the
company which first makes a bona-f de
offer to build the line a franchise.
This will make it necessary for the
Seaman interests. which have secured
a franchise in Crown Point. and have
procrastinated until the people at the
county seat are Disguised, to either
make the dirt fly or get out of the field.
1t was the realization that the peo-
pie of Crown Point and Gary are now
dealing with competing lines. which
will force each other to some substan-
tial activity, that caused such furry
| in the county seat when the news be-
came noised abroad that Senator Hop
kins had made application for fran
chise
| The people of the whole county are
/ also very much pleased to know that
the attitude of the county commission
ers will be that of neutrality towards
! the applying companies, except that the
company which agrees to Immediately
build its line will be given the prefer
ence.

! he is anxious and willing to begin the

GERMAN "COFFEES'
POPULAR

German "coffees" have been very
popular this winter. They are in
formal, and the hostess does not
have to be worried with a long
course luncheon or dinner.
A coffee is usually set for 4
o'clock, and that means to gel
there a few minutes before. An
inexpensive way to decorate the
table is to have candle light with
out flowers.
Here are two menus suitable for
Coffee: Hot popOvers and
jelly to be eaten with fork, cot
fee cake and large cups of rich
coffee, for which both hot milk and
cream are passed. A course of ice
cream or ices and little cakes fol
lows.
Another menu consists of sim
pie salad and sandwiches of brown
bread and cream cheese, or lettuce
and nuts, or pimentos, hot rolls OF
mullins toasted and buttered, and
coffee. Ice cream and little cup
cakes for the second course.

the same as if the Otis-Walker bill
had never passed." was the boast
made today by Intimate Friends
of the opponents of the measure.
Word comes down the line that a
"loophole" which makes the bill in
effective has been found. The bill
is draft of the Hughes bill which
proved effective in New York, but
it is pointed out that conditions are
different here. The plan is to point
out the "loophole" after the legis-

THROWN FROM CAR STEPS.

Robert Bragaw, manager of the
Idaho Irrigated Land & Investment
Co., and former state auditor o.
Idaho, was thrown with his wife
from the steps of a w. w. P. Co
street car to the pavement at the
corner of Bernard street and River
side avenue last night.
Mrs. Bragaw escaped serious in
jury, but her husband was painfully
injured about the left side ant
shoulder. The accident was the re
suit of the car starting before the
couple had sufficient time to dis
mount, it is claimed.

of woe.
THE procession was formed and
moved on in the following order:

with arms reversed; music, clergy,
the generals horse with his saddle,
holsters and pistols; Colonies

Marsteller, Little, pail bearers !;
mourners, Masonic brethren, citi-
Gems.
When the procession had ar
rived at the bottom of the elevated
lawn, on the banks of the Potomac,
where the family vault is placed,
the cavalry halted, the infantry
marched toward the mount and
formed their lines; the clergy, the
Masonic brothers, and the citizens,
descended to the vault, and the
funeral service of the church was
performed. The firing was repeat
ed from the vessel in the river, and
the sounds echoed from the woods
and hills around.
Three general discharges by
the infantry, the cavalry, and II
pieces of artillery, which lined the
banks of the Potomac back of the
vault, paid the last tribute to the
entombed commander in chief of
the armies of the United States
and to the departed hero.

Today's celebration of Washing
tons birthday lends especial inter-
est also to the day when the work
of the father of his country was
finished and his worth known-the
day when his remains were laid to
rest. The following description of
that day of national sorrow is
taken from the Ulster County Ca
zette of January A. 1900, a copy of
which belongs to Police Inspector
Lewis of this city. The funeral
program is under Georgetown
date of December 20 and reads:
"On Wednesday last, the mortal
part of WASHINGTON the Great
the Father of his Country and the
Friend of man-was consigned to
the tomb, with solemn honors and
funeral pomp.
"A multitude of persons assem-
bled, from many miles round at

and last residence of the illustrious
chief. There were the groves, the
spacious avenues, the beautiful
and sublime scenes, the noble man.

soul was gone. His mortal part
was there indeed: but ah. how
affecting! how awful the spectacle
of such worth and greatness, thus,

'In the long and lofty portico,
where oft the hero walked in all
his glory, now lay the shrouded
