COUNCIL
O|SREGARDS
MR.. KNOTS

Mayor Knots presided over the
session of the Gary council last night
and saw that body totally disregard
him in every respect. But three of the
aldermen, Rowley, Feuer, and Walsh
stayed with the city executive while
the opposition of six headed by Emerson
L. Bowser completely walked over the
city executive, who but a. short while
ago dominated the council completely
and so last night he had to sit by and
be a mere f1gurehead.
Mayor Impotent Fig-rehend.
The days since election have been
full of interest in Gary. Prior to that
the mayor was all powerful. His word
was law and he apparently ran the
democratic party But election day
came with him showing none of the
boosted results and now he is deserted
by those who formerly supported him.
Last nights session of the council
was not as spectacular it was ex-
pected to be but everything before the
house was anti-Knotts showing that
the mayor has now lost completely that
tight grip he formerly held on city
affairs Whether he will be able to re-
gain his power or whether he will re-
main an impotent fgurehead no man in
Gary can yet venture to prophesy-

5000 people present witnessed a rous-

played their partisanship by cheering,
shouting advice and waving flags. The
band from the battleship Idaho struck

lions were bad at the Lake County jail
as he was quoted in the Hammond News
and Gary Post.
In his talks with DIR. King all that
official had said was that he did not
know what the conditions were. The
fact that one prisoner had been found
with symptoms of tuberculosis was
sufficient to warrant an investigation
and DIR. Oberlin promptly made one.
DR.. Oberlin said to TIMES reporter
today: IF prisoner takes the proper
amount of exercise, keeps his mind free
from worry and avoids brooding over
his troubles the chances are that he
will retain his health. Sheriff Grant
