the gold star may prove to be a power
full deterrent from carrying out his
crooked design.
Barney said this morning that he was
extraordinarily proud of the honor con-
ferred upon him at the meeting yes
terday afternoon at A1ickalocz' Hall and
admitted that since then he had felt n
swelling on his person which usually
accompanies an honor. In Barneys

and enforced. will go far toward solv-
ing our problem: Cd The issuance of
marriage licenses should be placed In
the hands of health officers. ca Every
applicant for marriage license should
have the tests for traces of venereal
disease applied, and IL traces are found,
marriage should be prohibited tin
treatment is applied to render such ap-

has not been used. We searched all
over for the bottle of disinfectant, but
were unable to ind 1t anywhere.
The poisonous disinfectant is amber
colored In appearance and could easily
be taken for sour wine. The bottle is
now in the possession of the police. No
arrests have been made.
A rigid investig cation will be made
by the police today. number of
habitues of the saloon witnessed the
accident and all are of the BELIEF that
the bartender was ignorant of the fact
that the bottle contained poison.

DARING
HOLD-UP
BAFFLEO

Joe Karmilovicz. a saloon keeper who
has his place OF business next door to
the Indiana Harbor police station, was
held up last night in 13Sth street his
watch. valuable time piece was stoI-
en-. and he was choked almost insensi-
BILE by four highwaymen. He managed
to defend himself with good effect
however, preventing the robbers from
getting his money, OF which he had
large sum on his person. and his
shouts frightened the men away. as a
number OF heads were popped out of
windows to see what the disturbance
was over. Two men are under arrest
and the arrest OF third is anticipated
during the day. Mr.. Karmilovicz is tho
newly elected alderman at large
The hold-up occurred at midnight
last night, while the victim was his
way from his saloon to his home in
13eth street after closing his place for
the night. He knew the four men were
following him. but did not divine their
purpose until at 13Sth street about one
block from his home, one of them jump
ed out in front OF him and choked him.
The others made a rush at him. one
seizing his watch and the others
searching frantically thrugh his
pockets for his money.
By mighty EFFORT he freed himself
from the G stches OF the man who had
him by the throat, and while striking
out at random at the men who crowded
around him. he shouted Justify for help
The four men ran, yelling fire. Some
one telephoned the police station and
Officers Shields and Heppler were de-
tailed on the case at once. On their
way they saw three boys talking on a
corner. who informed them of the di-
rection taken by the men who had been
making the disturbance.
The officers followed up this clew
and found two of the men hiding under
the porch of Il house at 139th and FIJI
street. They dragged them out and
took them to the police station where
they gave the names of Ravol Tata and
John Lesco. From Information obtain
ed from them Sergeant Hughes hai
learned the identity of at least one o
the other two, and he hopes to hav,
him and the remaining companion, IL
custody before night The first is wei
known to the Indiana Harbor polio,
and there will be little difficulty II
landing him, 1t is believed. Officer
Rachjnez and Fano have been detaile
on this case.

BES|EGED BY
JOB-HUNTERS

Mayor-elect R. o. Johnson of Gary
appeared in Broadway yesterday for
the first time since election. The mayor
has been out of town and came back
from his rest trip late Saturday night.

His honor had no more than essayed
a walk down Broadway when he was
spotted from all sides. In three min
utes Mr.. Johnson was as much a mag
net a plate of molasses is in the fly
season. He simply couldn't move from
the throng of washed and great un-
washed who wished to shake hands
with him. Job hunters locked around
him like mosquitoes In the Aetna
marshes sighting fat man. They told
him how hard they worked for his
cause. 1t took Mr.. Johnson three hours
to go three blocks and he wouldn't
have arrived at home for supper hadn't
kind officials with an auto rescued
him.
Job Hunters In Ambush.
This morning Mayor Johnson started
out from his house at TAO Connecticut
street and he was ambushed in the fol-
lowing way:
Sixteen candidates for the board of
works waiting outside of his Doorway.
Three aspirants for poundmaster hid
den under his porch.
Seven candidates for fire chief hid
den In the alley under the belief that
his honor would duck out the back
way.
Twenty-seven foreigners around the
city hall waiting with petitions for
various jobs
One hundred and twenty mine candi-
dates for chief of police. captaincies,
and private secretary to the mayor
waiting at Seventh avenue and Broad
| way.
Pity the Poor Man.
| AT various points of vantage were
more office seekers. The entrance and
Railways of the Reynolds building
where Mr.. Johnson has his office. were
packed with job hunters and when he
arrived at his real estate office In
Room 2, he found candidates with their
| feet on his desk.
| Mr.. Johnson is listening with two
ears to the pleas for jobs but is max
! iE no promises No appointments will
| be announced for sole time.

worked by the new rules. 1t was
reform that was desired. for In
the last few years the defense had
gained strength to point whero
the offense had little chance TO
make consistent progress against a
team OF anywhere near It's own cal.
iber Hence there was the constant
use OF the punt Two tries. a petty

the program.
The football authorities sought to
DO away with this condition. They
weakened the defense The for.

The removal OF the restrictions on
the forward pass makes {, play that
