MAYOR KNOTS, GARY
FACES BR|BE CHARGE
Case Set for Trial Saturday
-Dictagraph Records to
Play Their Part.
(National News Association


VALPARAISO, Ind, Nov. ITO the
court records of Porter county there
are about to be added several interest
ing chapters that might be appro-
priately entitled The Troubles of a
Model Town" The cases OF Mayor
Thomas E. Knots and several other
officials of the city of Gary, against
whom serious charges are pending,
are one the docket for next Saturday
and it is expected the trials will be-
gin here early in the coming week. If
half that has been printed concerning
the alleged corruption in the model
city planned and dominated by the
steel trust is true, then revelations
may be expected at the trials that will
relegate the politicical grafters in
some of the big cites to the shelf re-
served for "pikers."
The city of Gary has yet to cele-
brate it's tenth birthday, but despite
ite youth it is a city in all that the
word implies. Where scarcely a de-
cade ago there was nothing but the
long sweep of sand dunes on the shore
of Lake Michigan there are now locat-
ed the greatest steel mills in the coun-
try, together with numerous other in
dustries that have been attracted by
the excellent transportation facilities
and other advantages offered by the
new city.
But with the virtues also came the
vices of metropolis. For several
years the newspapers have told of
the moral and political corruption al
legged to flourish in the model town"
Many of the viscious element driven
out of Chicago from time to time are
said to have found in Gary a most de-
sirable haven. Gambling houses are
said to have been conducted almost
openly. Frequent arrests by the Fed
eral authorities have given rise to the
belief that the little city also has been
center for the white slave" traffic.
Efforts of the better element to
"clean up" the place long proved una
vailing. The authorities were immove
able. At the head of affairs was
Thomas E. Knots, who held the may

election in which thuggery held the

a few years ago from Hammond
where he conducted a newspaper and
was prominent in town politics. Sc
far as is known he was not overburd
ened with worldly goods when he step
ped off the train in the model town.
Today he is reputed to be in the near
millionaire class, with heavy interests
in realty, manufacturing, public utili
ty, and banking corporations in ant
around Gary.

CasCarets Surely
Straiehten Youout
Stomach, Lazy Liver or Consti-
pated Bowels by morning.

Are you keeping your bowels, liver
and stomach clean, pure and fresh
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passageway through these alimentary
or drainage organs every few days
with Salts, Cathartic pills, Castor Oil
or Purgative Waters.
Stop having bowel wash-day. Let
Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and reg
ulate the stomach, remove the undi-
gested, sour and fermenting food and
foul gases, take the excess bile from
the liver and carry out of the system
all the decomposed waste matter and
poisons in the intestines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will make you
feel great by morning. They work
while you sleep-never grippe, sicken
or cause any inconvenience, and cost
only 10 cents a box from your drug
gist. Millions of men and women
take a Cascaret now and then and
never have Headache, Biliousness,
coated tongue, Indigestion, Sour Stom-
ach or Constipated Bowels. Cascar-
cts belong in every household. Child
rem just love to take them.

PAYMENT TO HEIRS
!. BEING INVESTIGATED
Family of Gen F. T. Ward,
Killed in Boxer Upris-
ing, Received $368,236.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1.-The
connection OF former Secretary of the
State John w. Foster and the late E.
Fl. Conger. Minister to China, with the
payment of $36S,236 out OF the Boxer
indemnity fund to the heirs Of Gen.
eral F.. 4. Ward. willed in the Chinese
rebellion of 1862, is the subject of an
inquiry started by the House subcom-
Mittee on State Department expendi-
lures.
Mr.. Foster, who acted as attorney
for the Ward heirs, and who, with
Robert Lansing, secured half of the
sum as attorneys fees, testified that
John Hay, Secretary Of State, had ex-
pressly approved change in the pro-
tocol of Nov. Z, 1901, under which
China had guaranteed an indemnity
fund to be divided among the various
nations whose subjects were injured
in the Boxer rebellion.
This change in the protocol, said
Mr.. Foster, gave Secretary Hay
authority to pay the Ward claim out of
the Boxer fund. although the claim
originated nearly forty years before
the Boxer rebellion. Mr.. Foster read
a confidential letter from Minister
Conger, in which the latter said he had
to stretch his instructions" and had
had great difficulty in bringing Prince
Ching, the Chinese Premier, to the
approval of the plan.
Through the efforts of Minister
Conger and former Secretary Foster,
the latter stated, the Chinese govern
ment was induced to ask the American
government to sanction the payment
Of the claim from the Boxer funds.
1T required an act of Congress, ap-
parently, to authorize the repayment
of part of the indemnity fund to
China" said Representative Dent of
the investigating committee. land
cannot see by what authority Secre-
tary Hay could have used the funds
to pay the Ward claim"
The committee will hold no further
meetings until additional facts have
been secured relative to the payment
to the Ward estate. The investigation
is likely to go into the question of for
mer Secretary Hays authority to make
the additional agreement with China.
Mr.. Foster said he was drawing a
yearly sum from the Chinese govern
ment, as their special attorney, when
he secured the payment of the Ward
claim.
General Ward led what was known
as the Ever Victorious Army" of I'm
perial Chinese troops in the TAPPING
rebellion in 1861 and 1862 and was
killed in the latter year, after having
rendered important service to the
Chinese government.

only on crackers, oatmeal and peanut
butter, l have wonderful endurance
and am more than a match for any
body. Although l live, and live we'll

He derides the idea, recently made
public by western professor, that a

If man wants to, he can thrive
beautifully and grow into a pillar OF

they hit the trail. The climax came
early in September when Mayor
Knots and several members of the
city council were placed under arrest

that the mayor and those arrested
with him solicited a bride of IS 900
company to put through a heating fran
chise which would have entailed an

Dictagraph records will play a stel-
lar part in the coming trials. 1t is
said that dictagraphs were connected
up in the hotel room occupied by T. B.
Dean, the applicant for the franchise
and also that one had been installed
even in the mayors private office.
One extract from the dictagraph
records made public purports to be a
conversation between Dean and Alder
man E. l.. Bowser. The conversation is
thus recorded:
Dean-What did the mayor say
about my matter, MIR. Bowser?
Bowser-I started to tall you that
l told him there was $4,000 in it for
us. Right here is where he got in

knew about you personally and if you
were all right, and if you had the
money to go ahead and build the plant

how he stood on the A. F. franhcise
Tom said. "A. F.. he don't get me any
money. There is nothing in this mat
ter for me. If Dean and his fran
hcise is all right we will put it across.
Mayor Knots was arrested in the
city hall just after Dean came from
the executives office with the heat
ing franchise in his pocket. Dean al
leges he paid the mayor $4,000. Be

had himself searched by four persons
as proof that he had the $4,000 in his
pocket when he entered Mayor knott's

himself searched again. He told the
deputies to serve the warrant, and
they would find the money in an en-
velope in pigeon hole in Mayor

WOMAN ON ICEHEAP
IN THE H|MALAYAS
For Three Weeks Mrs. Work
man Explores Glaciers
ice Rivers of Asia.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Writing from
her camp on September 9, Mrs. Fany
Bullock Workman, the mountain climb
er, in letter to the Sun bureau, which
was posted at Sharkle on September
26, gives further details of her ex-
ploration of the Himalayan glaciers,
an account of which was briefly ca
bled, says a Paris correspondent of
the Sun. Mrs. Workman says that
the climax of the summers work was
the crossing of the Saltora pass at a
height of 1890 feet on August 10, and
visit of three weeks to the great
Siachen, or Rose glacier.
This is reputed to be the largest and
longest ice river in Asia. 1t has new
er yet been measured, but is probably
fifty miles long and is the most mac
cessible Of any large Asiatic glacier.
1t can not be assembled from the ton
que from May IS to September Is,
owing to the depth of the Nubra riv-
err, which flows therefrom. and the
presence of dangerous quicksands.
The only summer approach is by the
great Saltora pass and the descent of
the Saltora glacier. which taps the
Siachen at height of sixteen hou-
sand feet.
The first European to cross the Sal
tora was DR.. Longstaff, who accom-
plished this feat in June, 1909, and de-
scended toward the Siachen, remain
ing one day on the glacier and re-
turning by the same rout.
Baltistan, Mrs. Workman's Italian
guide, with porters and eighty coolies,
reached the barren mountain on the
flank of the upper Siachen on August
20 in a violent snowstorm. The base
Of her camp was made here at height
of over sixteen thousand feet. The
minimum temperature for two nights
was 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Then it
cleared up and a rush was made for
the source of the glacier fifteen miles
to the northwest. One of the high.
est branches was assembled to it's
origin at a height of twenty thousand
feet. After descending an another
base, where Mrs. Workman saw a few
patches of grass, she found a second
affluent and assembled to height OF
nineteen thousand feet and stopped
in great stow platform.
A 210O0-foot mountain was ascend
ed, on which the party was caught in a
monsoon and driven back to camp
Thirty miles of the glacier were trav
ersed without any sign Of wood in
the surroundings. Numbers of a
very large box We're seen.
Notwithstanding the storms and
the difficulty of obtaining supplies
the expedition remained on the STA
chen until September Is, and secured
new and interesting pathological and
geographical information.
Mrs. Workman is the first woman
who ever set foot ON the Rose glacier
She concludes her story by saying:
I'VE placed eight big stone cairns or
the Siachen and it's affluents, and ex
plored much where no human foot
had trodden, but which remains to be
done before the problems of this
glorious snow area are solved"

"Dear Old Billy"

William Hawtry, star of Dear Old
Billy" company, was a schoolmaster
in his youth. He says it is the most
narrowing. COMPRISING, benighting
existence young man can have thrust
upon him. His father was an Elton
pedagoge, held chair there for many
years, so the younger Hawtry REBEL
ed at being kept at home, as it were,
and schooled at Eton-so he was
promptly sent to Rugby where he i'm
pressed the faculty that he was gifted
to impart ideas to the next harvest
of boys. When it comes to handling
the English there is class to Hawtry.
Playwrights always seem willing to
have Hawtry elaborate on lines. Why
not? 1t always seems to make them
funnier-as, for instance: There is a
scene in the second act of Dear Old
Billy" in which the original script
called for the lines 70 read: After
thinking it over I've made up my
mind that I don't know" The follow
ing is the way Mr.. Hawtry delivers
it at the present time: After the
extremely careful expenditure of con-
siderable time, and after the most
mature and exhaustive deliberation, l
have arrived at the comprehensively
definite and uncompromisingly IRE
vocable conclusion that don't know
