Accidentally Shoots Himself.

Arthur Lewis accidentally shot him
self on last Monday at the residence of
his father, Geo. W. Lewis, on Tazewell
Avenue. Young Lewis had loaned his
shot gun to nelghboring boy who re-
turned it loaded. Thinking it empty
and starting to clean the gun, he at
tempted to cock it to break the barrels,
when, the trigger slipping, young Lewis
received the full charge in the calf of
his left leg. He was brought by the
street car to the hospital and rendered
surgical attention. The wound, while
very painful, is not dangerous.

Will Have a Majority Of About $50 in
OIStrict--ROtt0St Campaign The
Ninth District Has Had Since
the Memorable Walker
RhGa Campaigns.

Elections held throughout the country
Tuesday resulted in political convul-
sion of far-reaching extent, similar at
many points to the famous tidal wave
of 1882, but apparently more widespread
in effect. The indications are that the
National House of Representatives has
been carried by the Democrats, revers-
ing present Republican majority as a
result of legislative elections in many
States.
The determined totals, however,
leave a Repu olican majority in the Sen
ate, as follows:
Total membership, go; necessary to
majority, 47; Republicans, SO; Demo
crats, 40; doubtful, 2.
The sixteen Republican Senators con-
sidered assured are: California, Con-
necticut, delaware, Massachusetts,,
Minnesota, Michigan, Nevada, North
Dakota (2), Pennsylvania, Rhode Island
Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wiscon-
sin and Wyoming.
The fifteen Democratic Senators con-
sidered assured are from Florida, In
diana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland,
Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

fed the council that he paid his plumb

believed that the ordinance governing
that matter was void
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the remonstrance of certain prop

Gary Heat. Light & Water company re-
ported that they advocated the ap-
pointment of city electrician whose
duties it would be to inspect meters
inspect all wiring donei in the city, the
signal phone system and keep it in re-
pair and also recommended that all
electrical contractors be licensed This
report was accepted and placed file.
The council voted to beautify the
city hall by the placing of three five
light boulevard lamps in front of the
building and to have them erected at
once. The council also voted to pur-
chase bertillion system for the DO
lice department to aid them in the
identification of criminals. This will
cost SIP. They also agreed to buy

SIS.
The franchise asked for by the tele-

posed to do for the city
The garbage ordinance was pre-
sented for second reading last night
also. This provides for the removal
and disposal of garbage. The ordi-

lieved that it did not cover the resi-

make its scope broader. This will be
taken into consideration by the garb-
age disposal committee and they will
recommend the proper changes. 1t will

SALOON ORDINANCE
A SPLENDID ONE

The saloon ordinance regulating the
saloons in Gary and placing restric-
ticns on the manner in which they
shall be conducted. and which is re-
garded by many as the most stringent
that has been passed in this section
of the state, was passed to the second
reading last night at the council meet
ing and with a few minor alterations
Will become a law before the first sa-
loon open for business in May
The $3.50 license clause; the section
regarding the screens; the prohibiting
OF back doors; tables; rear rooms, and
other regulations of that character.
will still remain a part of the ordi-
nance and will be passed at the next
meeting of the council.
The change which was suggested
last night is that the licenses be is
sued so to expire at the same time,
preferably May first, so that the po-
lice will have less difficulty in ascer-
tanning that all of the saloon keepers
secure their renewal of their license
at the time that they expire. The ef-
feet of the ordinance is to prevent If
possible, a establishment of the de-
plorable condition which existed in
Gary previous to the time when the
remonstrance went into effect and
which was in part responsible for the
ousting of the saloons from the town
ship.

RANK SHOW At
A GARY THEATRE
Actor Hurls Oaths at Peo-
pie in the Audience
Sunday Night.

disgusting scene was enacted at
the close of the last performance at the
Gem theater last Sunday night. when
one of the actors in the DeIman and
Dexter troup gave vent to his feelings
by uttering a volley of the vilest kind
of oaths that were not fit for a barn
let alone a theater.
The ten-cent play house was crowded
with men, women and children, who
were compelled to sit and listen to forI
language of the so-called actor who
had been previously Kissed by number
of young men in the rear end of the
theater. 1t was at the closing of the
act and the william was about to kill
the heroine when he was Justify Missed
All at once the so-cal1ed william stepped
to the edge of the platform and in a
volley of the vilest oaths said he could
whip the whole gang who had Missed
him. A large number of people left the
theater in disgust.
The Gem theater has been PLAYING to
crowded houses ever since the Delmar
and Dexter company has been the at
traction. The company IS composed of
three men and a half-dozen of chorus
girls, who sing and dance at various
times during the performance in tights.

YOUNG GREEK DOES
The SQUARE THING
Though Sentenced to Jail
He Pays Back Amount
He Had Stolen.

Alex Nagos, the young Creek who
stole ten dollars from the cash regis
ter OF the Broadway Candy kitchen on
Jan ~ and was sentenced to the county
jail for fourteen days for the offense
has since his release from custody paid
back tie nronriAtrr- Tom Matchuris. the
amount which he took from him and
wishes to have the people of Gary know
that hereafter he is determined to
follow the straight and narrow path.
Mr.. Nagos came to THE TINES office
this morning and frankly admitted that
he had taken the money, but stated that
he regretted his action in the extreme
as 1T was his first and last offense Mr..
Nagos said:
/ wish that THE TIMES would say
that 1 have squared myself with the
Broadway Candy kitchen for the money
which stole from that concern in jan
uray. am not going to leave the city,
but 1 a mgoing to live right here and
prove to the people of Gary that I mean
to be honest and to do what is right in
the future. i have earned enough to
pay back the man l took the money
from"
The young man seemed so cincere
about his determination to be on the
square in the future and to remain here
tolive down the incident and to have
the city know of his desire that his
statement was most impressive as well
unusual.
When questioned as to why he COM
mitted the act, he smiled little and
stated that there was some one whom
he wished to see in Valparaiso that
night and that he could not go without
the necessary money. His reason was
obvious without the mentioning of any
names and 1t is likely that the same
reason had great deal of influence
with him in his determination to lead q
strictly honest life in the future.
