severe lesson, and that this can be
done by giving the Democrats a hard
licking a the election this fall This
has given rise to a general movement
for the election of a Republican dele
cation from Marion county to the leg
islature in order that the liquor situa-
ton may be handled properly and not
take chances on a loosening up of the
liquor laws of the state The saloon
keepers themselves have caused the
people here to believe that they do not
know when they are well off 1t they
would. obey. the laws and not arouse
the indignation of the people by their
active law violations they might create
a better feeling toward their own busi-
ness, but they seem to be determined
to ignore the law and public sentiment
regardless of everything.
1t is admitted that this situation is
going to work to the advantage of the
Republicans in Marion county, because
the Republican administration is maxi
ing an honest effort to bring about
better conditions In this effort it has
the support of the citizens generally.
There is also belief that the temp

Nearly every politician that comes in

They say that the people in the country
are practically a unit In their oposi-

which have voted them out, and that in
this position Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike are standing together On
the other hand 1t is said that some of
the cities that have been voted dry at
county option elections have become
tired of being dry and that in some of

FRAZIER
LEAVES GARY
FOR GOOD?

Former policeman William Frazier,
one of the six officers TO be discharged
from the police force Sunday night left
Gary for good last evening according
to the story told.
Previous to his joining the police
force Frazier was a captain in the FIRE
department Then he had trouble with
Chief Feeley and left the fire fighters.
He then b1ossomed out as a diamond
agent and became the local representa-
tive for Lofts Brothers, the Chicago
diamond importers, who sell the preci-
Gus stones on the installment plan
Frazier sold quite a few diamonds
in this way and 1t is declared that COL
lection difficulties arose among some
of the Garyites who bought stones and
forgot to pay for them. This got him
In bad. it is averred. with his employ
ers who are now very careful about
their Gary credit operations
Finding that the diamond business
was on the wane Frazier took a hand
at police work and just before he was
let out he said that he would go into
business for himself. Previous to com
ing to Gary Frazier was a prize fighter
at Racine. He had the faculty of max
ing friends and had a large acquaint-
ance here.
1t is also understood that Frazier
owes some debts to different prominent
men in Gary.

TELEPHONE
TO SUPPlANT
TELEGRAPH

Beginning next week the telephone
will supplant the telegraph on the Chi
cago, Indiana & Southern railroad
along the entire line from Indiana Har-
Dor to Lyon, ILL.,, point south of Dan
ville where the road connects with the
Big Four.
The telephone has been in use on
the Indiana Harbor Belt since last win
ter. and like other roads where it
has been used it has been found very
successful.
The telephone has proven its superb
GRITTY over the telegraph in the matter
of dispatch in handling messages. 1t
is equally as reliable and is being
adopted by all progressive roads.
Two Lines of Wire.
AS is the case with the telegraph
system. the chief dispatcher will be the
sending and receiving center for all
messages relating to the movement of
trains. The method of operation is
somewhat different from the CONNER
cial telephone. there being no switch
board operator. In any station along
the line the operator can call any other
station he desires without Interfering
with other messages which may be
sent at the same time. The railroad
telephone will have no connection with
the commercial telephone
To complete the telephone line it
was necessary to erect two lines OF
wire from Indiana Harbor to Lyons.
The old telegraph system will not be
abandoned entirely, but will be main
tanned for emergency sake. Experience,
however, has shown that the telephone
system is more reliable for mainten-

Deny the Story.

The reports in a Gary paper that the
210 houses for the American Bridge
company to be erected in Gary had
been awarded to w. A. Sanger of Am
bridge. Pa. was denied by the Bridge
company officials today. When asked
by a TIMES reporter this morning the
officials said they knew nothing of the
awarding of the contract. Up to the
hour of going TO press no word had
been received at President Buffing-
tons office in Chicago to the effect
that the contract had been awarded.

Indiana Harbor and Gary have taken
exceptions to the claim of Hammond
and Crown Points team that they are
playing a series OF games for the
championship of Lake county and be-
fore they can lay claim to the title
they must play Gary and Indiana Har-
Dor.
The latter city has not only one OF
the best teams in the county but they
have a crowd of base ball enthusiasts
that can not be beaten and they are
coming to Gary full force next Sunday
to root for their team. So far this sea-
son the Indiana Harbor team has not
been defeated and a great game is
