Mr.. DoIIey Is Alarmed.

]. n. Dolley, state bank commits
sioner is considerably alarmed over
the consolidation, in effect, of four
of the largest New York banks When
the new directors were chosen for
these banks it was seen that every
man on the directorate was a repre-
sentative of the Morgan-Ryan-Van-
derbilt-Standard Oil interest. The
four banks which thus come under
the control of a single group of finan-
ciers are the Chase National bank,
National Bank of Commerce, National
City bank and First National bank.
Mr.. Dolley sees in this move an alb
solute control of the Wall street fin
ances as the crowd that now has con-
troll of the four banks also controls
the financial work of three or four big
insurance companies.

KICK ON UNFAIR KICKS.
County Commissioners Say They Re-
lease No Jail Prisoners.

The county commissioners object to
the frequent statements that they have
released numerous prisoners from the
county jail. They bring the records of
their court to substantiate their com
plant According to their statements,
the only prisoners who have been re-
leased have been persons for whom
the county attorney recommended
freedom. One prisoner was released
at the instance of the county health
officer.
These reports have been absolutely
false and without foundation" declar-
ed J. B. Sims, chairman of the board,
land I want Mr.. Simon and others to
examine the records and see why these
men were released. In every case but
one, the records show that the per-
sons, most of whom were charged with
selling liquor, have been released by
the board on the recommendation of
the county attorney.

Police Run Down Report.

me automobile which was burned up
near Wolf lake on Sheffield avenue last
week is said to have been driven by a
party of labor sluggers. on driving
over some railroad tracks the pipe
leading from the gasoline tank broke.
One of the men lighted a match and
the gasoline eploded setting the ma
chine on fire. They abandoned it and
have not been heard of since. Why
they happened to be driving out here at
that hour of the night is not known.
This is the report that is being run
down by the police.
The machine was almost wrecked
and by the next evening everything
was stripped from the car by passing
machines, including lamps, tires, bat
teries and anything valuable enough
to take. 1t was said the party had
bought the machine recently and had
not paid for the car except a small
sum. The machine which was left
abandoned by Chicago parties on the
right of way of the Michigan Central
railroad near Gibson was called fol
this afternoon. The machine belonged
to the Chicago Coach and Carriage Co
of Chicago on Michigan avenue

BOARD VISITS
INFIRMARIES

The county commissioners have now
visited two of the principal infirmaries
in this locality The one in South Bend
is the old-fashioned plan and the Cook
county inirmary is built according to
modern ideas.
The Cook county plan is similar to
that suggested by Beers & Beers and
has worke dout splendidly there. In
South Bend the commissioners found
that when the beds were made and the
rooms cleaned out that the inmates had
to go outside of the buildings in the
summer time and in the winter time
were crowded into the halls.
In South Bend the enclosed porches
are used and the mates have access to
these while their rooms are being
cleaned and renovated. In South Bend
the buildings have a musty odor, due
to poor ventilation. while in Cook coun-
ty4 the quarters occupied by the inhrm
are clean and airy and no odor is per-
ceptible.

HOW SAFETY GATES
IMPERIL LIFE

The manner in which the safety
gates on the railroad crossings in
Hammond are occasionally manipulated
has often been criticised, and another
opportunity presented itself last night
about eight o'clock.
Adolph Hirsch and his family found
himself in what might have been a
death trap in trying to cross the Hob
man street tracks south of the city
hall He was driving south and await
ed the passing of a train when the
gates were raised, but before he could
cross the south gate was lowered,
leaving him on the tracks until the
gate could be raised.

Sprinkle at All Hours.

There are serious complaints on the
part of a large number of the residents
of the south side that some of their
neighbors do not combine their
sprinkling activities to tn eprescribed
hours.
In some of the homes on the south
side it is practically Impossible to get
water on the second fiooor during the
entire day. and there are hours when
the water supply on the main floor
of residences is very poor
The lack of water is due to the lack
of pumping facilities and the small ca
pacity of the mains. The delay is rem
edying the difficulty is causing serious
inconvenience and danger of loss from
fire.

Valparaiso. Ind, June 23.-An at
tempt to try the Knots case on the
streets of Valparaiso is being made
cording to information which has crop
ped out here. The topsy turvy condi-
ton of Gary politics is being revealed
as result.
Several Gary politicians who are
supposedly opposed to Mayor Knots
are in Valparaiso for the very appar
ent purpose of aiding him in this case.
A Gary republican alderman, with an
acquaintance in Porter county is now
busily engaged in the Mayors behalf
and, according to one of the witnesses,
approached him and asked that the
testimony against Knots be modified
as much as possible.
According to the story the request
was refused. If the stories that are
told here are true the defense regards
the preliminary handling OF witnesses
of their work
In addition to the Gary alderman
there are a number of others who are
to make it a business to see the wit
nesses and impress upon their minds
the fact that there are really two sides
to the question and that Mayor KNOTS
is not such a bad fellow after all.
So far as can be ascertained no at
tempts are being made to circumvent
| the activities of these devotees of the
Knots cause. There are scores of wit
nesses here and it can easily be seen
how these people might be influenced
by INSCRIPTIONS men if those tactics
were attempted.

methods were being used by the de-
Tense in the handling of witnesses
