Gary Board Calls for Pre-
sentation of Evidence
When Two Of the Lawyers
Were Absent-Refuse to
Accept Oral Testimony.

The Gary town board yesterday AFT
ernoon made a bluff at their regular
session to hear the evidence of graTT
which the committee. composed Of ].
A. O'Donnell, r. +. Houren and Guy
Ballard, had prepared to submit to
them. This action was taken, however.
only after the fact had been established
that Mr.. Ballard had left the city
through the death of his mother, and
that Mr.. O'Donnell was also out of
town.
Under the circumstances Mr.. Houren
went to the town board prepared to
offer the evidence alone, but he was in
formed that this evidence must be sub
mitted in writing. Here again was
shown the plain intention to evade
the question by refusing to hear the
evidence orally. demanding that it be
submitted in writing. so that proper ae-
tion could be taken
Mr.. Houren again informed the board
that the evidence at hand was in the
nature of af1davits and that he would
be glad to read the evidence before the
board. Again the members expressed
no desire to hear the proof Attorney
Houren stated that he would be unable
to prepare a written statement of the
charge for the meeting that afternoon.
but that he would be glad to do so for
some future meeting.
Again the board crawled out of the
hole by demanding that the affdavits
which he has in his possession be sub
mitted to them in place of a copy This
Houren naturally refused to do. as he
did not intend to let the fruits Of sew
eral months of hard work be taken
from him, after which he would have
no chance to ever get them back.
To show how eager the members of
the town board really were to hear
this evidence it can only be said that
the demand for the proof was made IN
der the following facts and conditions
which viii put the stamp of insinceri-
ty on their motives.
!. The board called the committee.
who had issued the challenge in THE
TIMES by phone. to tell them that they
! were prepared to hear the evidence.
knowing that only one of them was in
the city. Although Houren was not
| reached. as soon as he heard Of the ac-
ton of the board he went to the city
hall at once, where he prepared TO read
the afhdayits.
2. The board then informed Mr.. Hour
en- that he would have to submit his
report in writing, knowing that he had
not prepared IT In this manner.
3. When Mr. Houren promised 10 pre-
pare It in writing and submit copy of
II 10 the board and to each OF the news
papers in the city. they told him that
the original afhdavits must be flied
with the board, and Houren refused
to let the evidence get out Of his hands.
Mr. Houren stated today that he
would prepare this evidence at once in
writing and await developments.

GEORGE c. SKIES
SPEAKS IN GARY
Civic League Is Addressed
by Chicagoan on "Mu-
nicipal Reforms"

The Gary Civic league met in open
session al Assembly hall last night to
hear the address Of George c. Skies of
Chicago on municipal reforms A. c.
Hendricks. the architect, presided. IN
his Introductory address he stated that
the league was not composed of perfect
men, nor claimed to be free from err
rors, but would both expect criticism
and hather be very much disappointed
if none was forthcoming. He then in
troduced the speaker of the evening
Mr.. Skies said among other things
that the league should not conine its
efforts to electing q mayor of reform
pretensionsfi but rather seek to secure
a good city council. since in that di-
rection they would be less liable to be
charged with craftsmanship, as it would
be likely that in that case the council
men would be of different political be-
liefs. and that corrupt mayor would
be powerless to enforce improper meas
ures over an honest council. He also
urged special vigilance lest special in
terests gain control of municipal af-
fairs.
The terms of franchises next came
in for discussion. upon which subject
he recommended that franchises be not
limited to long or short terms as each
feature had defect. but that good serv-
ice and fair rates should determine the
life Of a franchise. He stated that 80
cents a thousand gallons may be an
equitable rate for water in Gary at
the present time, but with increase OF
population It would be excessive
Questions were invited at the close
of his address. but only two were pro-
posed which were both irrevelant and
ridiculous.

The heading of the ticket of John A.
Brennan. followed by other such rep
resentative men as Joseph Cothery T.
c. Simpson. William Mcneil. Dominica

for alderman, has given such a tone
and confidence to the ticket that the
business men Of Gary. the real estate
dealer. and the mass of respectable
citizens, cannot help but support Upon
their records is not a blot Their
