History of the Case.

From the story told. 1t appears that
GIBSON who is democratic chairman at
Gary and who has been a member OF
the council combine opposing Mayor
Knots, is alleged to have been bribel
by Novitskey who it is said gave him
$50 to have the junk ueaIer ordinance.
Mayor Knots told that he furnished
the money to bribe Gibson, Alderman
Feuer and his friend Harry Hall of th ,
county council being witness to the
fact. After Novitskey was given the
money to bribe Gibson it is alleged
that the latter took it and was then
called to the police station on a fictfti-
Gus Grand. While in the station the
alderman is said to have been searched
and Mayor knotts marked money
found in his possession
Gibson alleges that the deal was a
frameup of Knots, Hall and Feuer to

tanned Attorney Joseph Conroy and
Marion Stanton to defend him.

RULING FIRST BY BOARD.

The case originated as result of a
ruling made by the board of Lake
County Commissioners to the effect
that no saloonkeeper now holding a
license can have it renewed unless he
has his second papers
An appeal was taken from the deci-
sion Of the commissioners by Attorneys
Reilly & Hardy. Arguments were
heard on the case before udge Becker.
Attorneys Bruce and Matthews, repre-
senting the Indiana Anti-Saloon league
appeared as friends of the court and
presented the other side of the case so
that the decision is based on a careful
presentation of both sides OF the case

LE6IsLATURE's INTENT.

In other words it was not the intent
OF the legislature when il passed the
Proctor law that 1t should confiscate a
mans business because he does not
come up TO the additional requirements
which the law imposes.
OF course In the case OF new ap-
plicant he would be compelled to be a
citizen of the United States. Attorneys
Otto Bruce and William H. Matthews
claimed that there is no such thing as
a new applicant since the Proctor la "
provides that no new licenses may be
issued until the number of saloons has
been reduced to one to every fve hun
dred inhabitants.

lows: The court finds for the appellans

In view of this fact the court may be
said to have sustained the contention of
Attorneys Reilly and Hardy that the
Proctor liquor law, while imposing the
qualifications of full citizenship on all
applicants for new licenses. does not
contemplate that the saloon keeper
who has for years been in the posses
sion of a license shall be deprived OF
Shfs rights for the reason that he is not
