Biggest Sensation of Year.

Probably the arrest of Mayor Knots.
Chief Martin, Henry Price and seven
other city officials in connection with
grand jury indictments will be listed
as the greatest sensation of the year
in Gary. That Tom Knots, who was

with his cabinet be indicted a states
prison offense, is more than the faith
full in the south end can comprehend.
1t was reported this morning that a
couple of the indicted will turn state s
evidence in order to save themselves.
The Post, the Knots organ, came out
last night with an attack upon Spe-
cial Prosecutor F. c. Welsheimer,
whose effective work resulted in the
indictments. Mr.. Welsheimer was
named as a member of the ring but
which one it is not stated.

HUNT WITH
WARRANTS

Armed with fat batch of warrants,
Deputy Sheriffs George Block, Albert
Morris and George Nestorvich travelled
to all parts of the city looking for the
indicted. They got William Piper, the
south end saloonkeeper and democrat
ic politician and former prize fighter,
in their net and he was placed under
arrest.
Piper was indicted on the charge of
conspiring to commit felony, which
means a term in the penitentiary if
convicted He gave bonds to the ex-
tent of $4,000
More warrants Coming.
Who the others are to be winged

aggregation to be taken up.
Five members of the Collins McNu1ty
faction of the electrical union were
also arrested yesterday. They were
taken up in Hammond and were re-
leased upon $500 bonds each. The
charge against the five men is rioting
and they are: Martin Carmody Jas

and Robert O'Connor.

Two Sides to the Question
From the Savannah News;

From the Savannah News:
Mr.. Frank Weldon, who has been
over the state in the interest of an
automobile contest, in an article in
the Macon Telegraph ADVISES the
commissioners Of the counties to
build wide roads. In some of the
counties, the roads, in his opinion,
are altogether too narrow. He adj
mits that the roads in Europe are
narrow, and there they have been
building roads for centuries. The
best roads in the world are there.
II is pretty certain that if wide
roads are constructed they viii not
be well constructed on account of
the cost. It is Of the highest inn
portance that roads should be dura-

the cost of repairing them will be
50 great that the people willllose

A wide road costs a third more
than narrow one of the same ma

row one ought to cost as much
as the wide ones are costing.
Durability is the greatest considera-
ton. The life Of road that is
built of clay and sand or of gravel
isn't over seven years, and the most
Of the roads in this state are con-
structed of these materials. In this
county the roads are built of Augusta
