the only safe way for the Gary saloon
keepers to do is to pay his $500 within
five days after he secures his renewal
and, as to those whose county licenses
do not expire until after May LIST, that
they should pay $500 and then when
they secure their renewals and then
pay $500 to the city and then apply to
the city council to refund and pay back
the unused portion of the first $500 pay.
VIII Pay $1,000 For City Licenses.
This will make it necessary for some
saloonmen in Gary TO pay $1,000 to the
city within the next thirty or sixty
days.
The saloon keepers are keeping the
wires to the mayors, city clerks and
city attorneys Offices hot in asking
questions concerning these matters.
THE TIMES is Informed that the city
clerk is standing firm in refusing TO
issue any licenses whatsoever unless
$500 is paid in cash at the time the
city license is asked for.
Some attorneys are holding that I'M
der the Proctor law it is not necessary
to secure any city license at all, but
all admit that at least all the money
required to he paid. must be paid all at
one time, to the city treasurer. The
whole question is very much unsettled
and will undoubtedly lead to a large
amount of litigation.
Anti-saIoon League Watching.
The Anti-Saloon League forces are
sitting quietly by, ready to avail them
selves of any opportunity offered by
the law to knock out as man licenses
as they possibly can and a lively time
is expected.
About 1875 saloon keepers in Gary
hold licenses expiring from the month
of June up to the month of March next
year. There will be about lao saloon
me nwho will apply for new licenses
and transfers next Monday at the
meeting of the county commissioners
whose licenses expire May 1st.

the brains of eleven. Twenty-Five or
thirty dogs. besides some hogs cattle
and two horses. were also reported to
have been bitten. During these two
months at least ten persons were Bit
ten by dogs found to be mad The vari-
Gus cases came from fifteen counties.
These counties are arranged in four
distinct groups. In the extreme north
are Laporte and st. Joseph. from which
four positive heads were received.
White. Carroll, Clinton and Tippecanoe
formed a second badly infected district.
large number of dogs have been Bit
ten in the first three counties. The
examination of brains from Tippecanoe
county has been done at the laboratory
of Purdue University and we have no
definite data as to the number examin-
ed Newspaper reports imply that the
situation in and around Lafayette is
serious.
In the central part of the state posi-
tive heads have been received from
hamilton, Madison and Hancock coun-
ties. The Hamilton county case oc-
Cured In the northwest part of the
county and probably belongs to the
previous group. A large number of
other dogs have been bitten. The
fourth group is in the southeastern
part of the state and includes Decatur,
Jennings, Jackson, Jefferson. Switzer-
land. Clark and Harrison counties.
Eight positive heads were received
from this group. A large number of
other dogs and much live stock was
bitten.
-Four things combine to make the
situation very serious; first, the large
extent of the infected area. Beginning
at Lake Michigan II extends southeast
through the entire length of the state
to the Ohio river. Second, the involve
ment of new territory. During the
four years during which the epidemic
has existed in this state no cases were
received from White, Switzerland and
Jennings counties until February OF
this year. There had not been case in
Clinton county since 1907. nor in Jeffer-
son county since 1908. Third, the large
number of dogs and other animals tina,
are known 10 have been bitten. Fourth.
the coming of spring and summer when
dogs will run at large more freely than
during the winter months. thus increas-
ing the opportunity of injecting and
getting infected"

FASHION HINTS.

The aeroplane hat is seen every
where.
All vivid colorings are used for
evening.
Pongee is worn again this season,
as always. New colors and new weaves
are to be had in the shops.
1t is a great ribbon season 1t is
used for trimming. and in shades of
rose and cerise is much used.
Bright blue combined with cerise is
used on a smart crepe de chine blouse
decorated with eyelet embroidery.
Figured crepes, trimmed with plat
ell ruffes, are quantity pretty for aft
ei'noon wear, as well as for the blouse.
Embroidery in bright colors worked
ir Oriental, Persian and Bulgarian de-
signs are decorating all kinds OF
gowns.
In all the coiffures there is the
same tendency to cover the ears. Some
times just deep wave in the hair fills
this mission again, a little curl or puff
is employed.
The silhouette in the new gowns re
mains much the same, the skirts are
narrow and the kimono sleeve is still
much in evidence The waist line i:
slightly raised in the gowns as vel
as in the newest French tailor made
suits, and in these nothing is more
noticeable than the short, jaunty
sssength of the coat

RABIES GIVES STATE OFFICIALS
SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT

Indianapolis. Ind. April 2s.-Attorney
General Honan has delivered to tn !.
state board of health an opinion which
is important to st. Joseph, Laporte and
the other counties in which rabies has
been prevalent The state board re-
ceived an inquiry from DIR. Grant f.
Goodwin. the health officer of White
county, which led to the opinion Some
time ago rabies appeared in White
county and two sheep heads were sent
to the state laboratory for examination.
Negri bodies, unmistakable proof of
hydrophobia, were found in both heads.
When DR.. Goodwin was notified he
wished to inaugurate quarantine
against all dogs in White county un-
til all trace of the disease could be
eliminated. He doubted his authority
| to do this, however, and he consulted a
lawyer who told him that he had no
right to order a quarantine. He said
that the health officer must first get
the order from the county commission
ers, and went on to give him counsel
as to just what legal steps would have
| to be pursued. The lawyer told him
that. in any event. nothing could be
done without the consent of the state
board of health.
! So DIR. Goodwin wrote the state
board for information as to his authori
~. The state board referred the mat
ter to the attorney general for a Legal
opinion as to the power of the health
officer. Attorney General Honan says
in his opinion that under the law oil
1909 the health officer has power t.
establish the quarantine without con
sulting anybody. His decision is SUI
preme. He does not have TO consul
the county commissioners, the state
health board or anyone else.
The Importance of the opinion rest.
in the fact that it Is law until it |.

QUESTION
BATTLING
SALOONMEN

Continued from Page II
$500 license fee to be paid in install
ments, but ii must all be paid within
the five days and any attempt on the
part of the city council to make the
license fee of $500 payable in two equal
installments is contrary to the state
law and has no force and effect
Strike Out Clause or New Ordinance.
1t will be remembered that the Gary
council attempted to make the license
fee payable son May LIST and October
lst of each year. but this is void be-
cause of the state law.
Just what action the city council
will take on this issue is not known
and 1t is more than likely that a new
ordinance will have to be createu In
order that it conform with the Proctor
law.
All Licenses Expire May list.
Another point which Is creating con-
sternation among the saIoonmen !.
Gary. is the fact that all the city IL
censes were made by the city council
to expire on May LIST and none of the
present saloon keepers city licenses are
good beyond that time.
The question now is. must the saloon
pirfng in June and in the months there
after, pay the city $500, to continue
selling liquor until their county Ii
censes, or in other words will they be
compelled to pay $500 to continue in
/ business one, two, or three months I'M
til their county licenses expire?
Cannot Sell City Licenses.
A number of them will be unable TO
secure renewals, and Ii so can they get
any part of the $500 back when it is
once paid into the city treasury.
+, Another question is. when they pay
| the $500. can the get city license for
a whole year. and when their county H.
censes expire can they sell their city
licenses. There is no provision in the
Proctor law giving them the right TO
sell their city licenses.
Busy Consulting Attorneys.
The saloon keepers are being kept
busy consulting their attorneys, some
holding. that they must pay the whole
sum of $500 on May LIST even though
their count licenses expire in one, two
or three months and then look to the
council to refund the unused portion OF
1t. Others hold that they will only be
required to pay for the number oil
months, their county licenses expire
after May 1st
Goods Can He Conascated.
The Proctor law further provides
that If man sell liqlaor without hav-
ling paid the whole license fee of $500
they are then selling without a license
and are violating this state law and
their business and goods can be con
Ihscated and destroyed under the blind
tiger law.
Attorneys well advised believe thai
