AUTO GIVES POLICE
CHIEF HIS TROUBLES
East Chicago Official on Trip
Grown Point Says
Never Again.
Especial to THE TrMEs.)

East Chicago. Ind. Jan. st is un-
ders TODD that Chief Lewis has changed
his motive power from gasoline to
horse. Also that from luxurious au-
tomobile he has taken to riding in sand
wagons.
At least on Saturday night he and a
party who started out most blithely
earlier in the day for Crown Point in
the official automobile. returned in a
city sand wagon. thankful enough that
the equine race had not become extinct
in these days of motor cars and flying
machines.
In the party besides Chief Lewis
were Fire Chief Ben Flack, who is con
valescing after his recent injuries, and
Sergeant Leo McCormick.NA They had
been to the county seat to convey there
Mrs. Annie amis, the insane woman
who had created so much excitement in
Block avenue few nights ago by en-
tering the home of a neighbor clad on
~ in her night clothes, driven the fam
lily out of doors and locked herself in
the premises.
Mrs Zanis had been sojourning at
St Margaret's hospital ever since this
occurrence and the sisters, being un-
able to take care of her, a commission
had been called to consider her case
and she had been ordered to a state
institution for the insane.
1t was on the return trip that the
trouble began First there was a pune
ure. which occurred just out of Crown
Point Chief Lewis managed to fix this
up and the machine sped on toward
Hessville. Here a rear tire blew out
and this completely stalled the ma
chine Chief Lewis was forced TO holl-
er for help or remain in Hessville over
night Help arrived in the form of a
team of city horses attached to sand
wagon and driven by Glen Schweitzer
of the fire department. 1t was past 10
o'clock when a somewhat chilled and
unhappy load of city officials disem-
barked at the city hall.

DEMOCRATS
ARE AFTER AN
ACCOUNTING

Gary democrats who have heard the
statement OF Secretary Richard Wink
Ter of the Lake County democratic CEN
trai committee, that the democratic
treasury is empty and that he and
County Chairman John Gavit are over
whelmed with an avalanche of bills
and are tracked by countless hordes
of creditors who hound them day and
night are now demanding that an ac-
counting be given of the funds that
passed into the democratic treasury
last fall.
For instance, it is pointed out that
the democratic ball in the Englehart
hall in Gary alone Melted more than
81 500. Where did 1t go to? Who got
the money and why are not the bills
paid? South end saloonkeepers who
were mulcted of thousands of dollars
are also asking who got the coin. It
is said that some of the Crown Point
democrats who were disappointed be-
cause of the combines treachery to
John B. Peterson may push the investi-
CATION further.

in the "uplift." Mayor Knots is every
where displaying the zeal of the newly
regenerated.
He is hot-footing it along the way
to reform at a speed quite bewildering
to those who have been accustomed to
see him sauntering with gentle dalli-
ance along the primrose vath of a wide
open town. The latest advices from
Gary are that Knots coat-tais sail
out behind as he hurrys from one re-
form station to another. Some say
Knots has gone insane. some say he
has completely reformed in the twink
ling of an eye (grand juryme eye)
and others hold TO the doctrine OF dual
personality after the DR.. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde variety; but for the most
part there is the notion that all this
reform haste on the part OF Mayor
Knots is to escape Impeachment pro-
ceedings. Even out through the state
the urgent need of haste on the part
of Mayor Thomas e is we'll under
stood. That valiant band of mayors
who met recently in Indianapolis to
fight the passage of bill permitting
the commission form Of government
should have Mayor Knots put in po-
litical quarantine at once. Suppose this
spirit of reform should become cpl
demic with mayors over the state? Just
suppose IT should Lafayette Courier.
