IN GARY ARE
IMMUNE

Much Indignation was caused in Gary
yesterday when James Lawrence, alias
Jim Coins" the big negro buck, was
turned loose in the Gary police court
despite the shocking stories told about
him by half dozen little girls. ranging
from 6 to IL years old.
A judicial Farce.
One angry father made an attempt
to get to the black degenerate. but the
police averted a scene. Instead of be-
ing tried the serious charge that
was made against him, Lawrence was
arraigned on ar assault and battery"
charge. One little tot-oniy one-was
permitted to go the stand, and
after she got through the court ruled,
following an application from the at
torney for the state that the prisoner
be dismissed. Some wag suggesed that
those responsible for this miscarriage
of justice should have been little more
humorous about it and tried the negro
violator for high treason or arson.
Police Are Angry.
Gary police are indignant as a result
of the freeing of the child despoiler.
Captain Gus Newman, who caused Law
rence's arrest, declared that IL he did
get out of town at once that he would
seek justice Dy gong directly TO the
superior court. Lawrence. on the ad-
vice of his attorney. Clarence Bretsch,
got out of town last night.
Why" declared Attorney David
Boone of Hammond, IF this was my
little girl involved in a case like this
the courts would never get to try this
negro"
White Women In Peril.
The letting go of this negro buck. s.
said white woman spectator, means
| that every woman and child in Gary is
at the mercy of these black fends.
| Why where 1 come from a Judge a
prosecutor or an attorney wouldn't dare
! to pull off a thing like this. and the
negro would be strung to the nearest
| tree. This is the most outrageous
| thing 1 have ever seen In a police
couft''
Police Are DOwDcast.
| Probably more angry than the IA
| theirs and mothers of the little ones
who were lured into Lawrence's photo
! gallery at Fourteenth avenue and
Broadway are the Gary police.
| TT doesn't do any good to arrest
negroes any more here" said an officer

in the court. And they don't get prose
| cuted either"

MAXI: RACE
TRACK OF
THIS ROAD
U. S. Steel Co.'s Road Do
mated to County Being
Ruined by Chicago Auto
lists and Others Because Of
Speeding Done.

Autoists owning small machines and
motorcyciists are loud in their COM
plants of the speeding that takes place
on the steel company's Fifth avenue
road between Gary and Aetna Similar
conditions. but not SO bad, exist on
the Aetna-M Miller stretch of this cross
country thoroughfare.
Although the Fifth avenue road was
built by the steel corporation last year
out of it's own funds, and it is the first
road ever to be built in Lake county
giving direct connections with Miller
Heretofore Miller had TO be reached
via the Hobart Ridge road) some au-
toists have had no consideration for it.
As result the fine thoroughfare Is
rapidly wearing out, and in many
places it is badly cut up. 1t is doubt
less whether the steel corporation will
authorize an appropriation to repair
the road IL 1t is destroyed in so short a
time.
Deaths Are Feared.
Most of the speeding takes place on
Sunday. and by Chicago autoists at
that Last Sunday two cars were forced
into the ditch by the roadside when
two big dreadnoughts came tearing
down the road at sixty miles an hour.
Some motorcyclists who engaged in
double riding at high speed have caused
much terror among owners of small
machines.
1t IS predicted that there will be a
death dealing accident on the Fifth av-
enue road before long, as speeders
know that they can use the thorough
fare for fast travelling without fear OF
molestation. No police watch is ever
kept on the road.

Mr.. Perkins was chief financier in the
recent attempt to capture the Repub-

contested delegations in numerous
states, more than half of which were
