SLOT MACHINES NOW
A MINUS QUANTITY

Slot machines are now minus guam
tity in Gary and a visit to some of the
south end saloons, where they flourish
ed like mushrooms, reveals no sign of
their presence
Two factions control the slot ma
chine privilege in Gary, and of late
they have been on bad terms with each
other. While one branch of the gov
eminent is said to have told the sa-
loon men they could operate the ma
chimes, opposing elements have welded
the tomahawk.
So far no nickel -in-th slot devices
have been introduced since the glorious
days of 1907, when Tom Knots was
town president, and vice and gambling
flourished everywhere. The present ma :
chimes are slug device which are not
so renumerative TO the saloon men, the
owners, or the officials to whom brides
are paid for their non molestation.

record point, and If the price situation
were frmer
Though the manufacturers have met
and decided not to cut prices at this
time and have announced their action
in this line, advices from Pittsburg
say that recent quotations have estab-
lished a new low level on unfinished
steel at $22.25 at the mill for Bessemer
and open hearth biliets; $2S for sheet
bars and $3.50 for forging biliets.
These prices in the first two instances
are 75c and 81. respectively under the
prices which leading makers" are sup
posed to be maintaining. 1t is reported
that the tinplate market is about the
firmest spot in the steel price situation.

More than a third of the business
was in steel, which the traders at
tackled in a small way on the strength
Of the announcement that the Gary
rail mill had been closed until January
1. This accounted for Steel's relative
activity and heaviness. Though there
had been ample warning that there
was to be a further decided curtail-

this month, 1t was noticeable that the

Three Machines

Heroic efforts on the part of the fire
department yesterday saved the build
ings on the estate of Alexander Rus
sell In the Ocean boulevard from a
blaze which consumed the automobile
garage and three machines. causing a
loss of $4,000. While the garage was
burned to the ground, the fire fighters
worked with untiring efforts to confine
the flames, and succeeded, with the aid
of the chemical hose. in limiting the
blaze to the single structure.
Just before the noon hour one of
the attendants carried five gallon
can of gasoline across the garage, and
when in the center of the place was
suddenly enveloped in a burst of flame.
In saving himself he threw the can to
the floor and in an instant the oil
soaked wood was cracking. An alarm
was turned in and in a short time
chemical engines Nos. q, 4, S and 8
were on the scene.
The crew of the life saving station.
under Captain John G.. Gronbech, went
to the assistance of the firemen and
made a desperate tffort to save the
three automobiles. In responding 10

Chief Murphy and Battalion Chief
Conlon were on the ground to direct
the men. Mounted Policemen Haley,
Kirchener, Smith and Lindsay were
pressed into service, and after stub

The cause of the fire is a mystery. The
man carrying the gasoline was not
smoking. He is unable to explain the

of Antonio Valencia in Judge Snortau's s
court yesterday and begged the court
not to compel him to prosecute the
charge of battery which he had pre-
ferred against the last of the ia nous
old California family. The eau Sc OF
Chungs unwillingness was com Dina
ton of the piercing look and the fact
that he deserved the blow on the nose
which Valencia gave him. Chung
stated that he had kicked over bas-
ket of wood Valencia had delivered to
the restaurant.
That is right, your honor" inter
rupted the defendant. Il am a descend

lived in this city since 1851 and never

power CONCERNS
NEEDN'T CUT WIRES
Supreme Court Finds 1t Is Not
incumbent on Companies
TO Protect Firemen

High power companies were absolved
from the necessity of protecting the
lives of f1remen by a decision rendered
by the supreme court yesterday. This
decision says that it is not incumbent
on power companies to send linemen to
fires to cut away the dangerous wires
unless they be required to do so by
city ordinance. No moral obligations
require the companies to take any
measure of precaution.
The decision was rendered in the
suit of Mrs. Elda Marian Pennebaker
to collect damages from the San Joa-
ouin light and power company for the
death of her husband, Carl G. Penne-
baker. in Fresno. He was fighting a
fire at 2:3O o'clock in the morning in
that city when he came in contact with
a fallen wire in the rear of the house.
His widow and her minor child brought
suit for $40, 900 damages, alleging neg
Iigence on the part of the power COM
pany.
The superior court of Fresno county
allowed her $500 dana ges, but this
decision was reversed yesterday in the

AUTO CARD SYSTEM
TO CHECK SPEEDERS
Chief Seymour Will Adopt
Method Successful in East

In order to facilitate the campaign
against automobile speeders which
Chief Of Police John F. Seymour has
successfully inaugurated and which
has brought into the city treasury
nearly $1,000 in fines in the last 60
days. the head Of the police depart
ment has decided TO employ the auto
mobile drivers card system which has
proved such a success in eastern cities.
Under the card system every driver
Of an automobile in the city must take
out card, which viii bear his name,
the number Of his machine and the
name Of the owners if an employe.
When driver is arrested for fast driv-
ing the policeman viii take up the
card and turn il in at the central sta
ton The driver viii then have to ap-
pear at the station the following morn
ing 10 secure his card, as the board Of
supervisors viii be asked to pass an
ordinance making it a misdemeanor TO
drive without a card.
When the speeder appears for his
card he viii be charged with speeding
and tried. a space Will be provided on
each card in which hvill be written the
number Of times the bearer has been
arrested and what disposition is made
OF the case. Thus each card will be a
court record Of arrests and punish
ment Chief Seymour said yesterday:
THE system will be better for the
srresting officer as well as for the
driver. The officer will not have to
leave his beat to come into the station
and book his prisoner, and the driver
will not be forced to wait in Jail until
his bail is arranged. The system has
been thoroughly tried out in the east
and found to- be a splendid one

Korea is not as happy under Japanese

flag and ordered him to hoist il the

consequences. The flags were hoisted
but they all came down with a vicious

Every Korean in the land has been
