UNSUPPORTED
RUNOR HITS
TOM KNOTS

The Chicago Tribune this morning
prints a story to the effect that the
governor Of Indiana will be called upon
to assist the reformers of Gary in
stamping out vice in this city. The
story in part is as follows:
Governor Marshall of Indiana will
be called upon to take hand in the
war against vice in Gary, unless there
is a change in the attitude of the re-
formers who raided the patch, with
the assistance of police from Ham
mond this week.
"A petition was circulated yesterday
asking the governor to investigate the
conduct OF the board of trustees Of
Gary with a view to their removal from
office. W. H Hodges. prosecuting at
torney of Gary, is the leader in the re-
form movement.
Another petition seeks the disbar
ment Of Attorneys Harris and Bretsch
1t is charged they have obtained a mo-
nopoly in the defense of cases in the
police court through a pull with the
president Of the town board and the
police.
Other attorneys assert they are not
allowed to see prisoners and that the
only attorneys permitted to talk to
prisoners are members OF lIlS one pTO-
tected' firm.
The members of the board OF trus-
tees who are attacked in the petition
are Thomas F. Knots. president; Mil
lard f. Caldwell, and John E. Sears.
They were elected when Gary was only
spot on the map with about eighty
votes and have complete control"
As far as can be ascertained no pc
tition to this effect has been circulated
in the city, as it is felt that the situa-
ton is being handled satisfactorily
at the present time without the as
sfstance of Governor Marshall, and in
spite Of the fact that President Thomas
Knots. Willard Caldwell and John e
Sears of the town board are ignoring
the shameful conditions south of the
Wabash tracks.
As far as Attorneys Harris and
Bretsch are concerned. the sentiment
in the city is that they have been al
/ lowed to monopolize the police court
work in Gary through favoritisn
/ shown them by President Knots. THE
TINES has absolute evidence that the
police have called upon them to sigr
/ bonds and defend prisoners, immediate
| ly upon their arrest. Tho lawyers Il
a man are resenting this deal between
/ Harris and Bretsch and the city ad
ministration, which prevents open and
honest efforts on their part to secure
| the clientage of prisoners No petition
however, has yet been circulated ask
ing for their disbarment.

SPORTING NOTES
OH DEAR THIS IS So FUNNY
IS THIS NEW FIGHT DOPE

Honestly. It is a joke-a hot weather
joke. Just read this long pill that
comes from Terre Haute regarding
fights. the governor, the finish fights
at Hammond" etc. Wouldn't it make
your teeth chatter? Here it is:
"Terre Haute, Ind. July 30.-Many
Terre Haute people have been puzzled
over the fighting game in the city be-
cause Governor Marshall did not stop
the Schreck- Hart bout, after having
prevented the bout at Hammond last
Saturday. Two explanations are made
here. one by those who know the result
of the Investigation by Burt New. legal
representative of the governor. and the
other by the sports The first is that
New was convinced that 1t was to be a
boxing exhibition for points, not a
Knockout. and not TO exceed ten rounds
and therefore within the specific stipu-
lation of the law. The other is that
the governor was right in keeping
those Chicago toughs out of the state,
just as he was right in driving those
skin gamblers from Louisville out of
Jefersonville.'
Unlike the Hammond Case.
The distinction between the Ham
mond and Terre Haute exhibitions is
said to have been that the Hammond
affair was to be a finish fight and
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-07-30

therefore against the ten-round limit
The injunction issued by Judge For
tune would not have interferred with
stopping the bout here If the officials
were convinced that it or any of the
preliminaries were knockout affairs.
At the instigation Of Judge Fortune
the boxing club changed the plea so
that the restraining order read that the
officers of the law must not 'unlaw-
fully interfere Though no fighter was
knocked senseless. two were practically
knocked out
The Terre Haute Star made a fight
against the men at the head of the club
which gave the exhibition Monday
night and made the complaint to the
governor. The newspaper has ignored
the event itself both prior to the fight
and since then. The refusal of the
governor to interfere has led to the
belief that Terre Haute is to have bouts
frequently. The promoters OF the one
Monday night made some money. and
with doubt as to the bouts taking place
removed, the events viii probably come
quickly after one another The police
department will not take the initiative,
and the prosecutor holds that boxing
exhibitions such as have been given are

orGer Was Too Brond.
1T is a mistake to say that the com
ing Of the governors legal representa-
tive caused the Rodgers club to ask
for a modification of the original re-
| straintng order. A week or ten days
| ago Judge Fortune notified the attor-
ney Of the club that the order was too
, broad and that the attorney delayed
complying with the judges intimation
that he bring in a modified order. This
was days before the governor decided
to send his representative here; indeed,
/ before the Star called his attention TO
the proposed fight. The Rodgers club
! is the third formed since the governor
came into office. The first was unmo-
Tested by the police. Then a second
was formed and its promoter and May

mayor announced that he would not
permit further exhibitions by any club

NAB JOHNSON
IN DETROIT
Flashes Eight $1,000 Bills
When Punched.

Detroit. Mich. July SO.-Jack John
son came to Detroit yesterday after
noon and the first thing he did was
to run foul of the law by exceeding
the speed limit. He had not been in
town hours when he was arrested by
a motorcycle cop and taken to head
quarters. Johnson almost gave the lieu
tenant heart failure by flashing a ST.
600 bill when he was ordered to de-
posit $25 as security for his appear
ance in police court today. The big
negro threw out eight of those bills,
just as if they did not amount to
shucks. He said he did not have any
thing smaller. but he finally managed
to dig up $25 and was released for
trial.

New Law Provides
Q Months School
Does Not Require Boards Ts
Pay $50 A Month
Salary.

County Superintendent Conley has
received the following letter from
]. H. Ackerman. Supt. of public in.
struction. relating to the six months
school law:
"a number of letters have come
to this department asking whether
or not school boards are compelled
by the Hawley Act to pay teachers
$50 month. If your school officers
have this wrong Impression, will yoa
please do what you can to correct 1t.
This law provides that each district
must have at leass six months of
school each year; 1t also provides
that each district must have school
fund of at least $500 each year; but
il says nothing about teachers sal
aries. If school board can secure
a teacher for less than $50 per month
the district can have longer term
than six months. The provision for
a fund of $500 was included in the
bill, so as to make Il possible for
each district to have the required six
months school.
"The new edi Ion of the school

about May 10. The legislature pro.
vides enough to furnish each school
officer with one copy
