SALOONS IN
GARY AGAIN
FACE WAR
Attorney w. NJ. Mathews,
Who Made City Dry Once,
Promises to Take Advan-
tage of Technically to
Close Up 169 Places.

There are 1913 saloons in Gary at
the present time according to Attor-
ney William h Mathews one of the
attorneys Of the Indiana anti-saloon
league. There viii be twenty-nine
when he gets through with them, ac-
cording to statement which he issued
today. The other 169 are going ~ be
put out of business
Does Mathews know what he is talk
ing about? 1t was he who was instru-
mental in keeping Gary dry for two
years 1t was he who drove the blind
pigs out of Gary. Draw your own con-
clusions
Mathews points to the provision of
the Proctor law which says that the
saloon license fee must be paid within
five days after the old incense expires,
or the license cannot be renewed
The saloonkeepers who put the other
$500 in scrow pending the decision of
the supreme court on the Kopelke de-
cision in the mandamus case are said
TO be safe. Mathews says the rest VIII
have to forfeit their licenses
He declares that he VIII not expose
his whole plan of action until the

But he AYERS that an attack is to

ty of the Gary saloonkeepers to their
licenses He says that Gary viii be
nearly as dry as it was several years
ago.
And that Mathews is not averse to
taking advantage of a technicality in
his fight against the saloons is shown
by his action in Gary's early history.
At that time the liquor law provided
that on the petition of a majority of
the voters for secretary of state at
the last previous election a city may be
made dry
Well there were only about 1000
voters at the last previous election in
Calumet township and at the time the
petition was circulated there were ten
thousand people in Gary.
Therefore 1t was only necessary for
Bruce to get 500 signers on his petit
ton. He and oliver Holmes and l. A.
Bryan and a few others got the sign
ers and made Gary dry It was the
mos turbulent two years that the city
of Gary has ever known.

class for electricians will be held in the
Hammond night school. This class
win recite every Tuesday and Thursday
evening at s.. Like all the other work
in the night school, this instruction
Will be free.
The class IS for the benefit of those
who know something of practical cleo
trio work, but wish to study the theory
OF electric currents. 1t affords the op-
portunity to learn how and why electric
currents do their work The class Will
begin with very simple things and pro-
ceed as rapidly as the work is under
stood. Opportunities will be given to
ask questions.
Speaking Of this course w H. Hen
derson, principal of the night school.

spondence course, this will help you to
understand your lessons. The instruc-
tor is a thoroughly competent prac
tical electrician who viii be glad to
hep you in your work. In order that
the work of the class may not be inter-
rupted by the entrance of new students,
every one who wants this work should
be present the first lesson.
The chief difference between the
high saIaried and the poorly paid me-
chanic is that the high salaried man
