BOWLING ALLEYS
ARE HANDICAPPED
Gasoline Lighting System
Brings Disappointment
to the Bradfords.

Owing to the defective gasoline light
ing system, which has been installed
in Bradford's pool-room. it was neces-
sary to close the place UP last even
ing.
Every night Mr.. Bradford has been
having trouble with his lights until
there was no certainty among his pat
rons as to whether or not there would
be lights This uncertainty has kept
many of them away.
Last night an effort was made to
light the gasoline lamps and they re-
fused to work. Finally they went out
and the interesting spectacle of men
bowling in absolute darkness was pre-
sented to those who remained in the
place
When ball was sent down the al
ley the bowler had to ask the pin
setter how many pins had been knock
ed down. Matches were held over the
spares" so that the players could
knock down the pins. 1t is estimated
that Bradford's loss of patronage or
account of poor lights is considera'
BILE.
Today he Installed Tungsten electric
lights in the room.

more than 1000 three counties of In

surprising chorus of disapprovaI of the

O'Donnell Sues.

George O'Donnell, the proprietor of
the Gary Hotel through his attorney.
II. +, McCracken, has filed a suit in
the Lake superior court in which he
appeals from the decision of the county
commissioners court, in which it re-
fused Mr.. O'Donnel a license
The bondsmen are II. F. McCracken,
Mike Binzen and George O'Donnell
This is taken as an indication that the
attorneys who are fighting for the de-
feat of the Gary remonstrance have
some hope of winning out.

EAST CHlCAGO'S DESIRE
Champion for Court Has
Something to Say on the
Situation.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago. Ind. Feb. 8. we
don't want a superior court in East
Chicago" said a local man. who has
just returned from the legislature.
we want a municipal court given
to u.s. with Jurisdiction in cases up to
a $1,000" he proposes. This will ena-
Bile us to try our mechanics lien and
small damage cases and permit the
maintenance of the superior courts for
the criminal and higher jurisdiction
work" Such a court. he suggests,
should also be given concurrent juris-
diction with the superior court in the
taking of appeals, that is, appeals
should be permitted direct into the SUI
preme or appellate courts without the
formality of another trial in the su-
perior tribunal.
