indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 16.-There is
talk here to the effect that the defeat
of John w. Kern for United States
senator will defeat the attempt TO re-
peal the county local option law. 1t
has been understood right from the
start that the brewers of the state were
backing BENJAMIN f. ShiveIy, tht South
Bend man who was chosen senator by
tht democratic caucus, and that Kern
was not receiving any brewery sup
port. Now, 1t il claimed, many of the
Kern men are scEe over his defeat, and
to get even with the brewers for but
ting in and helping to defeat him they
will vote against the repeal of the
county local option law. If any con-
siderable number of them take this
stand the law cannot be repealed, for
it is admitted that at best the vote ON
the proposition of repeating 1t will be
very close.
Were Not the Brewers.
It is true that>kern numbered among
his supporters some of the liberal ele-

A MATCH BOWLING GAME
Hammond Masons Will
2lay Whiting Tues
day Night.

Probably the most interesting bowl
ing contest that has yet been ar
ranged in Hammond is one that is to
be held at the Masonic alleys next
Tuesday. The Hammond Masons have
challenged the Whiting Masons and the
interest in 4he contest is already great.
The first game is to be played on
the Masonic alleys next Tuesday, when
the Hammond Masonic team, in charge
of Roscoe E. Woods. will bowl the
Whiting team
The contest will be a fve-men. three
game contest, and will be hotly con-
tested. 1t is possible that three games
will be played and it is possible that
the Whiting Masonic band may play
at one of the contests.

GROSSMAN CASE
IS DISMISSED
State Street Saloonkeeper
Found Not Guilty in
the City Court.
WOMAN SOLD BOY LIQUOR
John Gehrke Buys Whiskey in Gross
mans Saloon and Is Found
Drunk In Park.

The case against Solomon GFossman,
charEtd with selling intoxicating Iiq-
uors to John Gehrke, a minor, the son
of Gus Gehrlxe, was dismissed in the
city court this morning.
John Gavit appeared for the defend
ant and John F. Sawyer for the state.
The witnesses svyore that John Gehrke
bought the whisky In Grossman's sa-
loon and that Grossman wa in the sa-
loon at the time.
John Gehrke says he asked Gross
man for two half-pint bottles of whisky
and Grossman. who was talking to a
man at the time. did not notice him. A
woman who was in the place, however.
heard the request and gave the boy the
whisky he asked for.
State Can't Prove Case.
The state was unable to prove that
Grossman had any guilty knowledge
that the liquor was sold to a minor
and consequently the case was dis
missed. 1t did prove that Grossman's
place was ope non Sunday, in viola
tion of the law, and that liquor was
sold to minor, in violation of the law.
1t was proven that woman. whose
identity was not established, apparently
had the authority to transact business
for the place, sol dthe boy two half
pint bottles of whisky.
And even though Solomon Grossman,
according to the testimony, stood in
the same room at the same time the
liquor was sold and failed to reply
when John Gehrke asked for the whis-
ky, he was exonerated
Became Intoxicated,
After getting the whisky the boy
went out to Harrison park with sew
eral other boys and one of them be-
came thoroughly intoxicated. He was
so drunk in fact that it was neces-
sary for the policeman, in the absence
Of patrol wagon, to carry the boy
home.
The case will be dropped unless Gus
Gehrke goes a step farther and swears
out a warrant for the arrest of the
woman who actually handed out the
booze and took the coin afterwards
placed in the Grossman till.

Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 16--It look

er yesterday The first attack was
made by DIR. J. n. Hurry, secretary of
the state board of health. at a banquet
given fore those attending the water
and sanitation conference. DR. Hurty
was full of inspiration for the sub
ject. Just before he sat down he re-
ceived a telegram from THE TIMES at
Hammond which read:
What can the state do to save us?"
He had just written an answer. stat
ing: Nothing. Hammond will have
to ask for an injunction and then she
can bring suit for damages and thus
try to force the glucose company to
pay Difference to the public welfare and
human life"
Says 1t Is Absurd.
In his speech he showed how absurd
was the position of the state when Gre
ated to safeguard the people it was
left powerless to force pure water
supply.
At the meeting of the Indiana En-
gineering society, H. E. Barnard, state
food and drug commissioner, told of
the frightful conditions OF the wat
er as he found it in Lake Michigan,
near Hammond. He also used a stereop-
ticon. He told how the people of
Hammond could not at times turn on
their public water faucets because of
the odor. The greatest of the many
offenders at Hammond, he said, was
the glucose comaany.
Hammond. with $4,000 population. he
said. had half as many deaths from
typhoid fever as Chicago with 100 times
that population. He advocated that
Indiana and Illinois join in a sanitary
commission TO solve the problem that
was vital TO both of the states He
advocated the cutting of a canal from
the Indiana lake frontage to intercept
the Illinois river and to thus dispose
of all sewage
Then. yesterday. there came a report
that the water in the lake had been
condemned by the state authorities,
Barnard said, the state could not con-
denim. The state is powerless to act,
he said The city of Hammond must
act for itself
