THE GREAT COMMONER
LECTURES IN GARY
Mayor Tom Knotts Was Immensely
Tickled When William ]. Bryan
Talked of Reform
WHAT TOM KNOTS
LAUGHED AT.

Among the interested specta-
tors at William Jennings Bryan's
lecture at the Majestic theatre In
Gary last night was Mayor
Knots. He occupied the royal
box"
Mr.. Bryan started his lecture
with a talk on reformers and the
need of them. Mr.. Knots looked
kind OF bored.
And" said Mr.. Bryan, "a
Kansas congressman once told me
about a lot of burros he saw on
the plains of Brazil. When
ferocious animals attacked them
they huddled together in a circle,
with their heads together and
they all kicked outward at the
enemy.
However, reformers some
times stand the other way and
kick at each other"
"Hee-haw." was Mayor Knots
answer as he clapped his hands
and kept on laughing.

reason to prohesy that within another
year or two that the cities of Ham

making the amalgamated city the larg-
est in the county.
At the meeting of the Hammond
Chamber of Commerce last evening

had been asked by Mayor Beaumont

sition to the Hammond Chamber of
Commerce requesting that the city of
Hammond cede a strip of land south of
the present limits of whiting. now in
Hammond territory, to Whiting so that
the city on the lake could have access

While no definite announcements
have been made in regard to the make
up of the Schlesinger steel plant to be
built in Hammond, Frederick Schles-
niger, the chief owner of the ore com
panies backing the project, has ad-
mitted that the products will be pig
iron, bars. plates and shapes. This is
the news received in Gary steel cir

1t Is stated on good authority that

do with the new plant when 1t is in
operation. Whether this means a rela-

Although the sporting critics agree

One writer quotes Attell as say

crowd. The claim was not al
lowed. Holland weathered the

ed hands on the result.
