TOO MANY
FUNERALS
At HARBOR
Now Find That Hearses and
Cabs Go to Illinois to
Bring Back Beer.

The good folks a Indiana Harbor
have been appalled, for several days at
the fearful number Of funeral corteges
passing in the streets.
People are certainly dying fast
said one man.
Two funerals today in our block. %
said another.
There goes a hearse and ten limou-
sines now. Some other poor chap is
dead
But alas Indiana Harbor is healthy as
it ever was.
The funerals" were plain camoufage.
Instead of real funeral one hearse
and so many taxicabs went TO the Illi-
nois side Of the line. loaded up with
beer and returned to some of the blind
pigs.
The hearses used had opaque sides
instead of glass. These are stated to
have hauled the kegs The limousins for
the "mourners" contained cases of bot
tied beer.
Tho surprising number of funefals-be-
ing held in the Harbor lately and the
way several men reeked Of beer is said
to have lead to an investigation. Then
II was learned that there seemed to be
tion. so If you see too many funerals
And some former saloonmen are said to
have taken in as high as $500 daily.
According to the story the funeral"
heads for Illinois. presumably going to
TO the West Hammond or a Chicago
suburban cemetery. That attracts no
attention The funeral" party return
rather late and when it is dark the
hearse is backed up TO the alley en-
trance of some saloon. and the thirsty
are soon unthirsted.
This is the substance of an investga-
ton. so If you see 70 many funerals
being held think of the prohibition law.
