1t is now unlawful to spit on the
Gary sidewalks. That is, Chief Martin
has decided to enforce the splitting or
dinance. and all persons henceforth
found guilty of violating the decree
will be arrested and prosecuted.
The ordinance was enacted last year
and a number of arrests were made at
the time At one time the sidewalks of
the city were in a very unsightful con-
dition. but after the arrests they began
to improve. The same case is true at
the present time. and Chief Martin
thinks that a strict enforcement of
the ordinance will add much to the
cleanliness of the sidewalks.

duty as citizens, he continued, they
had the right to demand their rights
as Catholic gentleman. He pointed out
to his hearers that this region especial

part to help make them better citi-
xens, and to do their share in keeping

olics. as ouch this side.

Distance With George
Urmond.
Especial to THE TIMEs)

East Chicago. Ind, April 1.-THE
East Chicago Athletic club pulled off a
neat little athletic entertainment last
Saturday night which. according to
some reports, was mild affair. and
according to some was pretty lively.
The story that there was a card of
fights given at which hundred sports
from Chicago were present has no
foundation according to the club mem
bers who declare that the stag party
was simply a smoker at which Eddy
Clabby. brother of Jimmy. boxed six
rounds with George Ermond. Both boys
live in East Chicago. There was a
sparring match also between two East
Chicago youngsters, but the affair.
which was only attended by club mem
bers, was pretty tame, so those who at
tended it say.
