SUNDAY NIGHT SHOWS
ARE BEING BOOKED
Real Season Will Open in August, in
the Meantime Patrons Will Get a
Taste of the Good Things That Are
to Come-Theater is so Enlarged as
to Seat 1000 People.

The Majestic theater in Gary last
night closed it's doors and the stock
company of nine persons wended their
way back to Chicago and elsewhere, to
make room for the more pretentious
companies and plays which are to be
staged at this playhouse in the future.
The f. & H Amusement company, which
has leased the playhouse for five years,
tried vaudeville and stock companies
and found that that was not what the
people were looking for.
The plan of the company in the fu-
ture is to put on a big performance
once or twice a week and once a month
give a week of repertoire They are
now in a position to secure the best at
fractions that are on the road Musi-
cal comedies and the best shows that
are now in Chicago will be brought to
Gary.
The real theatrical season Of the Ma
jestic will start August 1, but the the
ater will not be closed during that
time. AS soon as possible shows Will
be booked for Sunday night and pos
sibly once during the week. Manager
Koechler of the +. & H Amusement
company states that his theater Will
be the only one in Gary that will be
enabled to book the Klaw and Erlang-
er shows as well as the Stair and Have
lin.
The stage of the Majestic, although
designed to a certain extent for vaude-
Vile, is amply large for company of
at least sixty persons to play in. The
theater will seat nearly two thousand
people.
In speaking of the proposed change
yesterday, Mr. Koechler said:
1--WE came to Gary originally to pro-
duce vaudeville and found that the
people did not want it under any con
sideration. We then put on our stock
company and, although we made a sue
cess of this, we thought it would. be
better to enter a larger field and put or
| the big attractions. The Majestic made
friends in vaudeville which are still
sticking with US; we made friends with
our stock companies which will still
patronize us, and we feel that our cir
| Gle of patrons will be extended still
further when we put on our big attrac
| tions."
The New York agent which they hav,
secured to book their attractions is A
Tahlheimer of the Knickerbocker the
ater, and the Chicago agent is james

Especial to TIE TIMEs.l

Crown Point, Ind, June 3.-The peo-
pie of the county seat are wondering
when the dog poisoning f1end Is going
to quit.
Perhaps that human life has been
placed in jeopardy. the goal of his am
bition has been realized.
Three more dogs bit the dust yester-
day and the poison demon has evi-
IDENTIFY stayed his hand at tht rate these
animals are being killed. report
was circulated yesterday that two
small children in Crown Point had pick
ed up pieces of cake and were about
to eat that same, but were prevented
in the nick of time by their parents
who suspected that posion might be
hidden in It. Investigation proved the
same to be true, which shows the most
alarming feature of the dastardly busi-
ness. Little children will pick up any
thing In the edible line that looks
tempting and with pieces of cake, etc,
lying promiscuously around there is
every hane Of their being poisoned and
killed. The affair has assumed a SER
ious aspect, and If tht guilty parties are
found. a lesson should be given them
that will serve for time to come.

COP. To
GATHER IN
GARY MONDAY

Monday night the Gary Republican
club will meet in Assembly hall for
the purpose Of making the preliminary
arrangements for the coming municipal
campaign. It is expected that a COM
mittee will be appointed from each
ward which will select the time and the
place of the mass meetings, which will
elect the committeeman who will have
charge Of the campaign.
Although the democrats are hoping
that the republicans will have as hard
a struggle during the selection of their
committeeman, no such struggle as the
Knotts- -Crollius affair is in sight All
seems to be harmony as far as can be
seen at the present time, but there is
a possibility that a little unpleasant
ness may crop out when least expected.
The call issued by Secretary John
son is for a regular monthly meeting,
but other business of Importance will
be transacted.

Becomes Gary's Chief.
Starting in as a patrolman, Martin
found himself a year later suddenly
in command of the police force. This
was in the spring Of 1907 when Chief
Frank Chambers resigned to enter into
another line of business. with four
patrolmen. which number was later in
creased, the young chief, now 2S years
of age, set to work with chara cteristic
vtgor to rid Gary of the thieves and
murderers who came from all parts
of the country He succeeded. but not
until six of the nine men under him
were shot within the brief period OF
five months. OF course some of the bad
men had to be killed and others had to
be chastised with 44-caliber bullets.
but this was only a mere incident in
establishing order in a budding metrop-
oils. The chief himself was fred on
several times and bullet holes in his
hat received on separate occasions tes-
tify to the fact that he was in the
thickest of the fray
This training, while hazardous. was
a valuable one and Of the kind that
brings out the best in the man.
Two years ago his friends doomed
him for the sherin's nomination. but
declined the place while it was within
his reach.
There is no doubt but that his nom
ination would be acceptable to the
Hammondites. as he went away from
-there with the reputation of being "the
best policeman Hammond ever had" In
Indiana Harbor, Whiting and East Chi
cago he is also well thought of. Gary
would give him her entire delegation
and as for the southern townships,
nothing further need be said
The chief is happily married and re-
sides on West Seventh avenue.

The total population of the dry town
ships in Indiana at this time is greater
than the total population of any one
of these prohibition states: Alabama,
Kansas, Maine, Mississippi. Oklahoma
and North Dakota.
1t is greater than the combined popu-
lation of Delaware, Idaho. Montana, Ne
vada, Utah, Vermont and Wyoming.
which combined have a total popula-
tion of 1,345.092.
1t is greater than the combined popu-
lations of North Dakota and South Da-
kota.
1t is greater than the combined popu-
lations of North Dakota and Kansas.
1t will be noticed that since 1905 the
number OF dry townships has almost
doubled, while the population in dry
territory has more than doubled 1t
also a noticeable fact that tht greater
part of this increase in dry territory
and dry population was brought about
by the use of the remonstrance law be-
fore the local option law was passed.
The remonstrance law made nearly 300
townships dry and the population In
dry territory was practically doubled.
Basing the estimate on the recent
school enumeration in Indiana, the fig
ures show that there are only about
$4,000 people in wet territory in the
state at this time.
Does this mean that the anti-saloon
people are in a position to force the
fight for statewide prohibition? This
question naturally grows out of study
of the figures.
