PROHIS ARE

That No Petition Is
Being Circulated.

Rev. George A. Deuel., pastor of the
First Methodist church of Gary and
one of the leaders in the circulation OF
the Calumet township remonstrance
against saloons. last night denied the
fact that petition for county local
option election was now biting circu-
lated in Lake county. He not only de-
MED he rumor, but state emphatically
that 1t would be useless to hold an cleo
tion at this time.
A number of the more radical pro-
hibitionists of the couny have been at
tempting to have the election held at
county commissioners at their next
regular meeting This action has been
repeatedly suggested by them to the
leaders who have in every case dis
couraged the. circulation of the petit
tion at this time.
Matter Has Been Discussed.
In speaking of the rumor to the eff
feet that the petition was now being
circulated Rev. Deuel. said:
There is no petition for a county
local option election being circulated
at the present time. The matter has
been discussed but there has been no
action taken in that direction. I do
not believe that 1t would be the best
policy to have an election at the pres
ent time. The sentiment in this county
is not for prohibition at the present
time, although I belive that there is
a great change taking place right
now"

close enough in touch with the tenn
i movement so that this state

Hamilton Park Indoor Base
ball Team Victorious
Over Hammond.

The Hammond Athletic association
was swamped by the Hamilton Park
indoor baseball team in a game which
was played in the gymnasium of the
local club, last evening.
The score at the end of the game
was 10 to Z. The game is proving very
popular and there were over 200 spec
tators at the game last evening. While
it is rather late in the season for the
Hammond boys to expect to whip a
team into shape that will do anything,
they hope to get into a position that
will enable them to play with the best
teams next year
It will not be long before the Ham
mond Athletic association Will take up
the matter of organizing a baseball
team, and it is expected that enough
material will be found to make the
team one Of the best in northern In
