Big Gang of Young Men and
Women Come From Ham

Give Grizzly Bear Dance.

Scores of young men,, many OF them
being in the tough class" came to
Gary Saturday night from East Chica-

of pulling OF a grizzly bear hugging
dance at the Garden hail. Incidentally
II was intended 10 clear mp ta's police
department.. They came to the dance
and seventy-f1ve young women were
with them.
Thirteen Policemen Were Ready.
Chief Martin got word of the in-
tended clean up, so he stationed eight
policemen at Garden hall and kept the
auto patrol and four other officers on
reserve at the station.
The word had gone out that the
dance would be held even IL some of
the police would have to be taken to
The hospital. When the police chief
heard of this he gave orders to stop
the dance IL every mothers son present
had TO get a broken head
They Didn't Try 1t.
However. there were no grizzly bear
hugging matches, and but two arrests
were made Ray Benight and Charles
Morgan were booked on a disorderly
conduct charge.
There will he no violation of the
grizzly bear or turkey trot dance rule"
said the chief today. This gang has
been making it hot for the Hammond
and South Chicago police. but they will
go to the hospital if they start any
thing here"
A sad feature of the dances held at
Garden hall is the number of young
girls who drink liquor which they OBJ
tain from nearby saloons.

PROSPERITY CONTINUES.
Trade Movements Show No Pre.elec-
ton Hcsitarcy.

New York, Nov. 4.-Bradstreet's
says:
Trade movements, considered in
collective sense, show no material hes
itancy because of the imminence OF
the presidential election. In the
great surplus cereal producing Sec
tions buying continues unabated and
it is only in the east that there is
tendency to mark time, but there, as
elsewhere, business is strongly but
tressed with orders previously booked
The integral feature of the situa-
tion can be encompassed in the state
ment that there is need for goods
and that stocks with first hands are
light, the shortage of lumber together
with heavy consumptive requirements
having made for under production.
Jobbers' trade in the Northwest
Southwest and Middle West continues
exceptionally good, those from Texan
points being pre-eminently so. while
in the East, buying from jobber is
of the small lot frequent type, princi-
pally through the mails.
