PASTOR GIVES HIS
REASONS FOR LETTER
Rev. Fl. FL. Halmhuber Be
lieves That Park Should
Be Guarded.

In letter to THE TIMES the Rev. Fl.
II. Halmhuber of the First Evangelical
church of Robertsdale sets forth his
reasons for Directing to the vaudeville
performances at the lake front. mention
OF which was made in THE TINES last
evening. The letter was evidently writ
ten after Manager Green had decided
to withdraw the shows and the fears
that the Rev. Halmhuber expresses that
they might continue to be detriment of
the moral welfare of the community
owing to the shows are now groundIess.
Omong other things the Rev. Halnb,,b-
er, in his letter, says:
Editor TIMEs-These perfornoancas
are not conducive to the moral welfare
and development Of our community and
are setting ideals before the youth Of
our community that are to their perid
and not at all to their elevation. Also
a very undesirable element is attract
ed to these shows so that the park is
In danger of losing it's reputation as
quiet place of rest and recreation.
Our people feel that they do not care
10 have their park overrun by an ele-
ment that pursues these shows. Nor
do they care to have the moral stand
ard lowered just because the street car
company seeks pecuniary gain.
I have been urged to this stand by
some of the most influential citizens Of
our place. All we ask is simply a fair
consideration of this matter and your
cooperation in UNFOLDING the highest
moral standard for our community. For
when it cofes to a moral issue the peo-
pie surely have voice. Trusting that
we shall receive your support in this
matter and continue to hear through
your columns as in the past. am
Sincerely yours.

find out what transpired there
The coming election is causing con-
siderable interest in the village, as it is
already known that there will be sev-
eral candidates for the office. There
are enough who have expressed their
intention to run already, so that if the
votes are anywhere near evenly divid-
ed. about five votes will be the winning
number. Burnham has but sixty-four
votes, and when these are split among
a dozen candidates it is hard to pick a
winner. Let us at least hope it will not
result in a tie vote So say we all of us.
Amen.

Thomas Wilhelm, who for a short
time was believed to be lending as
sistance to the reform element Of Gary
in purging the south end Of its crime.
has been found to be the worst kind of
a fellow himself. Altogether he is be-
lieved to have swindIed Gary people
out of hundreds of dollars and he will
be brought back to Gary today to
answer the charges against him.
1t has been discovered that after
mortgaging his furniture almost to it's
full value for loan which ne got
from the Indiana Loan company, VIII
helm then sold the furniture to the
landlord of the building which he oc-
cupied. Pete Pisarski. The amount of
the loan was $3.50 and the furniture
was sold for SIS. It is said that this
has been sold several times since by
Wilhelm for various amounts.
Wilhelm was apprehended largely
through the work of Attorney Gustave
Heart who was formerly a detective
and who practiced his old profession.
Mrs. Wilhelm was traced to Willow

Ora L Wildermuth was called upon
TO make few remarks of his con-
Stanley to Mr.. Knots and told about
how more had been accomplished with
less money IN Gary than in any other
city in the world.
When you look what the present
city administration has done,~ said Mr.
Wildermuth, you ought to raise up and
thank Mr.. Knots for what he has done
We have had a city government that
is as good and clean as any other, and
! resent the yellow journalism of the
papers in town. especially the paper
which is printed in Hammond. It is a
shame to support an institution of that
kind and 1 would like to see the time
come when every citizen in this town
would rise up and tell those people
where they belong"
The former Aetna attorney ended by
saying that he thought that the people
there last night had more confidence In
Tom Knots than they did in the weak
kneed knockers, who stand on the
street corners and find fault
DIR. Milestone, a late arrival from
Cleveland O.. whose aspiration for po-
Htical honors is only dampened by the
fact of his short residence here. gave
a lengthy TRADE on "MonarchiaI Gov
eminent and Nihilism," and said it had
been the primary object of the capt.
talists-as he called them-to take
away the privileges of the working
men and take their beer from them,
but ended by saying that he had moth
ing to say about the steel company in
that they had created the city and
made Gary what it was
Divekeeper Helps Knots to Stage.
With a helping hand, Divekeeper
Piper assisted 'Meester' Knots to the
platform and "Hinky Dink" began his
grafton by saying:
This is the way it is going to be
election day. and there won't be any
thing to it." But Mr.. Knots couldn't
remain on any one subject long enough
for his speech to be ineligible to his
listeners before he had had his say
about THE TINES by calling it every
thing in his vile category OF names.
Knots defied the courts and the
courts and the sheriff TO prove that he
had accepted any graft, but failed, dur
ing his speech. to answer the questions
handed to him on the bills at the last
democratic meeting in regard to the
assessment OF the properly owners on
Washington street, etc. The president
of the town board said he believed in
the personal liberty of each person.
IF men want to get out and enjoy
thmeslves in their own communities
and drink. dance and sing after their
days work, I won't object to it if
am elected mayor"
H a. Paine grew so heated in his
abuse against THE TINES that he
asked the people of Gary. Minnesota"
to vote for Mr Knots. He ended his
talk by assailing THE TIMES, during
which time the excited foreigners and
divekeeprs were yelling. Murder him.
