A LITTLE MATTER AMONG
GENTLEMEN"

To the Vicksburg Evening Post;
And now it transpires that Private
John Allen and other leading sup
porters of Leroy Percy have been in
dicted by the Kinds county grand jury
for gambling.
And then comes some gentle
men" who laugh and say that John
"humorously confessed" (John is a

all gentlemen do under such cir

POLITICS FOR PERSONAL
GAIN.

The rottenest political deal that was
ever concocted in the minds of any
political faction was pulled off last
Saturday morning in the House of
Representatives, when Senate Con-
current Resolution No. 5 met its defeat
on the third reading Of the Resolution.
This resolution provided for an in
crease in the number of judges of the
Supreme Court from three to five and
submit it as a constitutional amend
ment to the people at an election to
be held in September for their ratfi-
cation. The Legislature had passed a
law creating the Office Of two commiss-
toner's of the Supreme Court and au-
thorizina the creation OF the Supreme
Court Commission was consistently
supported by Senator W. D. Anderson
of Lee County. When the Commiss-
ion bill passed both houses and was
signed by the governor, it was well
known fact to Senator Anderson and
Gov. Noel that Senator Anderson
could not be appointed on the Com
mission, because he (Anderson) was
a member Of the legislature that
created the Office. 1t then became
necessary to defeat Senate Concur
rent Resolution No. S so Noel could
pay Anderson for helping the admin
stration to defeat Vardaman and it
met its death by an agreement between
Gov. Noel, Chief Justice Whitfield
and Senator Anderson. The agree
ment was TO the affect that il the reso-
luton was killed, that Whitfield would
resign from the Supreme Bench aad
accept an appointment as commission
er, and that Gov. Noel would appoint
Senator Anderson on the Supreme
Bench to succeed Whitfield. The
NoeI.Percy faction Of the Senate
came into the House of Representa-
tives almost as a committee Of the
whole and lobbyed against the Resolu-
ton and Notwithstanding the fact that
the Resolution had passed the house
twice. it failed on its third reading.
When the Resolution failed to pass

HOTEL MAN MAN
SELLS OUT
INTERESTS
George O'Donnell, One of
Gary's Finest, Causes
Regrets by Selling the
Gary Hotel, of Which the
City Is So Proud.

George O'Donne1l one of the most
popular business men of Gary and for
the. past two, years proprietor of the
Gary hotel. has sold out and will leave
this city in the near. future. The cause
for this action. which has caused great
surprise about the city, is because Gary
is not big enough at present to sup
port the Kind of hotel run by Mr..
ODonnell.
The Gary hotel. under the manage
ment OF the late proprietor. was con
ceded to be the best hotel in north
west corner of Indiana. 1t had gained
an enviable Population throughout the
state, but It seems that the town was
not ready to give it the support neces-
sary to make 1t financially successful.
Purchaser Is Fort Wayne Man.
The purchaser of the lease was III. w.
Summers of Fort Wayne. a former ho-
tel man. whose reputation had been es-
tablished largely by his. management
, or the Wayne club in that city. one
of the best-known social organizations
| in the state. Mr. Summers also ran a
hotel in the west. He VIII take charge
of the place tomorrow, when Mr.
O'Donnell will turn the establishment
| ever to him.
| The Gary hotel is owned by the Gary
| Land company and was ready for oc-
cupancy in October 1907. The first
| less ee was Col. Hodges, who sold out
March 4. 1908, to George O'Donnell
Since that time the latter has worked
diligently and tenaciously to make the
Gary hotel the best that it could be
made. The cuisine was excellent, tht
service was the best that could b'
procured. and always there was at
tached to the place air of quiet and
profound respectability Many ban
quets and affairs OF public nature
lsuch as the recent banquet of the st
Andrews society. have ben held Their
/ and the occasions have ben memora BIZ

Two big bald eagles, the mascot of

been feared that some one would make

of their presence in the vicinity has

The birds are generally to be seen
north of the right of way of the South
Shore route perched in the top OF a
medium sized dead tree. The train
men on nearly every car look for the
birds as they pass this point. Some
steps ought to be taken to insure the
protection of these birds, which now

Report Circulated That No
torious Playhouse Is to go
Out of Business Is Widely
CIRCULATED in Gary To-
%g.

The Princess theatre. the notorious
ten-cent playhouse of Gary is to go out
business. Its demise will be unregreted
by the respectable element if the city.
However, during the past week the
manager took advantage Of its short
term of life to stage one of the fiercest
shows ever permitted to be put on a
stage. The fndecency OF the thing was
gauling, and it was carried so far that
men and women constantly left the
place in disgust.
In almost any other city in the
world the entire cast and management
would have been arrested on charges
of public indecency. The remarks went
stronger than suggestive" in many
instances, and even one of the three
hardened chorus girls occasionally
blushed for shame. A policeman stood
in the rear of the threatre guffawing at
the coarse talk with great enjoyment
instead of stopping the show as would
have been done ordinarily.
1t is generally understood that the
show given last night was the last tc
be staged by the Princess. Rumor has

have the place remodeled and start a
