Tired Of the prouth.

That the people OF Oakland county
are already weary of the enforced
prohibition conditions is the firm be
lief Of the wet" advocates who make
up the new organization known as
the Law and Order league. They will
endeavor to have another special
local option election, called in the
county for next April, and will make
stiff campaign on the platform OF
strict law enforcement, under the
new Warner-Cramton law, rather
than no saloons. Men who are al
ready out with petitions canvassing
for signatures TO the petition for the
special elections are giving assurance
that the league is firmly tied up to
the policy Of making all liquor deal
ers obey the letter of the law, keep
ing out all undesirable retailers and
lawbreaking resorts and limiting the
number OF licenses to be issued, as
must be done under the new law
The "wets" profess confidence that a
new election will give them a ma
jority, which the "drys" deny.

Laborers Of Gary, Ind, Leaving Be-
cause No "8ooze" is Sold.
Five hundred laborers have left
Gary, Ind, where the steel trust is
operating its big plant, since the
town has been declared dry until
next April by the workings of the
Moore remonstrance law. officials or
the steel company fear that the dry
ing of the town may yet lead to
scarcity of labor, and the serious en-
barrassment of the plant.
1T is my opinion" said Mr.. II. s.
Norton, head of the Gary Land Co.,
that we cannot have an absolutely
dry town and keep enough common
labor to operate the steel plant
here"
1T was not contemplated that Gary
should be prohibition territory when
the steel corporation laid the town, "
said Mr.. Norton. -Four reservations
OF property were made for the estab-
lishment of bars in the plot controlled
by the corporation. II was the pur-
pose that these should be allowed 10
sell drinks under strict regulations.
Sunday closing was to be rigidly en-
forced. Bars were to be closed at IL
O'Clock each night. These provisions
were incorporated In the leases of
the property.
only two of these barroom privi-
leges were taken advantage OF. We
kept a close espionage over them.
We did not intend there should be
any rowdyism, disorder or lawbreak'
ing by them. A large percentage of
the laborin men in iron and steel
plants consider that an occasional
glass of beer is just as much and
just as natural a part of their lives
as a cup of coffee or glass of lemon
ade is to others"

A MYSTERIOUS DIEsASE
Japan Experiences a Quake Shake
France to Raise a Large Force Of
Negro Troops.

No appeal will be taken TO the APP
pelate division from the decision OF
Trial Term Justice Mills declaring
Harry Thaw still a paranoaic and
remanding him back to Mattaewan.
Lawyer Morschauer says Thaw will
await the pending decision of the
court of appeals on his contention
for a lay jury trial of the sanity
Issue. In the state of New York
so-called sheriff's juries are frequent
ly summoned from the lay jury lists
to examine into the sanity of individ-
uals. Justice Mills turned down
Thaw's request for such jury on the
ground that a lay jury in the second
murder trial had already decided the
question by declaring him insane.
Then Harry took the case to the
court Of appeals.
The elder Mrs. Thaw has sold a
portion of the front lawn OF famous
Lyndhurst, TO w. w. Wilcox, the
consideration being cash and in the
neighborhood of 100000. The prop
erty is 250x600 feet, and is one OF
the most valuable tracts in the resi-
dence part of Pittsburg.
At the time the orders came to sell
the property work was stopped on
the interior of the Thaw home, which
was being fitted up for the reception
of Harry. At noon the workmen were
all discharged.

THE COUNTY JAIL

SALE OF LIQUOR IN ALLEGAN
COUNTY is SAID TO BE
DECREASED.
DRUG STORES TO REPORT
The First Two Months Of Local op-
tlon, II is Claimed, Has Resulted in
Heavy Falling OFF OF Sales.

Less liquor was sold by all the
drug stores Of Allegan county during
the first two months of local option
regime than by single saloon dur
ing a similar period prior to May
l, according to the reports made by
the druggists to the prosecuting at
torney. The total number is 800,
an average of SO sales daily through
out the county and but fraction over
four for each store. This number in
ciudes sales of alcohol as well as the
more drinkable liquors, and the most
or them are for half pints or less,
while probably half, at a conserva-
tive estimate, were for legitimate pur-
poses. Instead of having the number
or drug stores increased materially,
one has been closed and three do not
handle liquor at all, not taking out
the United States license. Only one
drug store has been started and that
is in the non-selling liquor division
now.
The number of sales by towns is
as follows: Otsego, 1,407; Allegan,
l,224; Plainwell. $40; Saugatuck, 273;
Fennville, 260; Douglas. III; Pull

ant state geologist, refuses to consid-
er a reappointment, and it is said that
the new official will have a hard
time finding a competent man in the

would be promoted to the place of
geologist, as he has practically done
the work of the Office heretofore.
