peared before the directors, and the
matter of boosting, East Chicago and
Indiana Harbor was taken up with
him, but nothing definite was decided.
Another meeting to discuss the same
proposition will be held In the near
future.
The idea of boosting the twin cities
by means of circulars in the business
letters was advocated as feasible. In
succinct but striking manner 1T would
set out at g1ane what the emf
nent advantages of the two communi-
ties are. IT would contain an enumera-
tion of all the railroads, the number of
factories, the payroll of each, the
number of men employed, out put. the
canal and Its possibilities. and many
other features.

ONE WAY OF
BOOSTING TWIN CITIES

At a meeting of the directors of the
Commercial Club of Indiana Harbor
and East Chicago last night, new
wrinkle in the way of boosting the
twin cities was considered
The idea that was discussed. was to
have circulars printed and distributed
among the members of the club. SO
that they may be sent out in the bust
ness letters. which these various mem
bers nay have.

CARNIVAL
DRAWING
BIG CROWDS

The police court over which Attor-
ney McCracken presided was the feat
ure of the Gary Elks Bazaar and
Carnival last night, and strange to say.
Judge" McCracken found everybody
guilty of any charge that might be
preferred against the prisoner" The
result was that the exchequer OF tho
lodge was considerably swelled by
fines which were promptly paid.
Tonight is East Chicago Night at the
Carnival, and the Gary Elks regret as
much as their East Chicago brethren,
that the night is not more favorable.
Tomorrow night Is another big one,
as 1t has been dedicated to the county
candidates On the following night, is
Hammond Night" and a large dele
cation of the Hammond fraternity is
expected at the steel city.
The carnival is being held in the
Ha-twell building. on Washington
street, near Sixth avenue. ess s~

one of them, from the resort at
ZIP Dearborn street, came to-
her.
This inmate-told Miss Adams
that she twas not going to regis
ter with Quitman even if the com
n1ittee of fifteen were behind
him.
The committee of fifteen" in
the underworld is an association
of resort keepers, headed by Ike
Bloom, Nick Colisimo, Roy Jones
and the Weiss brothers, which
rules the tenderloin.
The most significant evidence
is that which was not brought out
by Miss Adams.
Quitman left a good job with
Andy Lawrence, publisher of the
Hearst papers here, to do. this
work.
Soon after, Andy Lawrence's
straw man, carter II. Harrison,
appointed the a1dermanic COM
mittee ito decide what public SEN
'timent in regard to a segregated
district might be-"
Quitman went to work at once,
and through some influence he
was able to bring to bear on the
underworld, soon had his report
ready.
This report, a plea for the con-
-tinuance of the underworld, Quit
man addressed to the aldermanic
committee appointed by Law
FENCES mayor.
Quitman denies Miss Adams
charges and gives the following |
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-11-07

The father engaged Quitman
to find his daughter. Quitman
found her-in a South Side re-
sort.
The father induced the girl to
return home. She now is at
home, and none of her friends or
neighbors know where she was
during her disappearance.
The father, awakeped by the
shame of his own daughter, then
agreed to furnish funds if Quit
man would make a thorough in
vestigation of vice and its causes.
Under the circumstances, Quit
man says it is impossible to give
the wealthy business mans name
without shaming the daughter.
One of the peculiar things in
connection with the leagues
work came up yesterday, and one
not quite in accordance with this
story of Quitman's.
Some time ago the aldermanic
committee invited George Cos
son, attorney general of Iowa,
where segregated districts have
been done away with, to appear
before it and tell the experiences
of Iowa.
Cosson appeared yesterday and
said that the abolition of segre-
gated districts in Iowa had done
much to do away with vice, to
clean up the big cities and to put
an end to white slavery.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL In your H.
sue Of the 21st inst. Mr.. Chenery takes note
Of communication signed J. H. c.. comment
ing on the fact that Boston liquor dealers were
forbidden to make presents at Thanksgiving
or Christmas. and making the point that in no
respectable calling would such action on the
part of the authorities be thought necessary.
Mr. Chenery thinks that the writer only part
ly stated the facts in connec ton with what he
terms regulating the traffic, and he gave at
length various communications from the ex-
else commission to keepers of saloons, billiard
halls and bowling alleys. casually speaking of
them, if my memory serves me, as requests.
Thinking there might have been misunder-
standing questioned policeman in regard to
the matter and he told me they were ordered
to forbid, not request" the saloon keepers to
make presents to their patrons during Thanks
giving, Christmas. or at any other time.
As to regulating the liquor traffic. as well adj
vo< ate the destruction of home and happiness
The movements of venemous serpent might
be limited or circumscribed. but danger and
death would be ever present while it lived.

Make men of the brutes made so by it.
Wen take the money now spent at your bars,
Give our children ride on the trolley cars;
And once in a while, we'll buy big silver
OF choice tenderloin, insteod of old liver;
Well spend the money now given to you
For boots and shoes and clothing, too,
And still have some for the hardware man
To buy new stove and frying pan.
Well cut off the expense of the extra police,
And much of our taxes will then soon cease;
For every dollar you help pay of freight
To take care of your product it cost US eight.
So there'll be no need of the town going dark,
For there'll be plenty left for the electric
spark;
By stopping the factory which makes the
thugs.
Well save enough money for the water plugs.
What shall we do when the town goes dry?
How care for the farmers corn and rye?
The answer to you we can easily tell,
He'll raise more cattle. and these he'll SELL
The farmer will not then have to compete
With the man who owns the saloon on the
street;
For the biggest cinch around the brewers den
Is the place where he has his feeding pen.
Where his hogs and cattle are kept so fat
On the Stops and malts from their brewing watts
For the brewer knows with malicious greed,
That with alcohol out, it's still good feed.
So, then, liquor sellers, don't be gay,
Wen prove our point on election day,
That this dear city shall never die
But be better far, when the town goes dry.
