BARBARY
COAST He
SAYS, THERE
At HARbOR
HafbCF, Gary and Hammond Men
lip In Federal Court Today
on Various Charges.

Sensational charges were made
in Hammond by a United States
officer today when he said that
whiskey selling, open gambling,
opium smoking, prostitution and
every form of law violation prac-
ticed by the underworld can be
found on Deodar and Cedar streets
in Indiana Harbor. The charges
were made today by George w.
Green, special agent of the Depart
ment of Justice, il charge of gov
ernment Investigations in Lake
county, in the Federal court in
Hammond.
LIKE BARBARY COAST.
Green compares the two streets to
the Barbary Coast of San Francisco in
its palmy days and states the whislley
condition in Lake county is the worst
in the state owing TO the wholesale
violations in Indiana Harbor and the
proximity of South Chicago. The fed
eraI agent also takes a broadside al the
Lake county lawyers who defend whis-
key violators and states that not
single lawyer has volunteered to aid the
government in prosecuting the cases.
POLICE ARE HANDICAPPED.
As an indication of the existing con-
ditions existing Green states that one
East Chicago policeman is in St. Mar
garet's hospital with twenty-seven knife
wounds and two have been buried in the
past few months. while FIVE policemen
have quit their jobs. He states that
Chief of Police Williams. with half of
a police force, is doing all that he can
but that he is unable to cope with the
situation owing to the lack Of co-opera-
tion Of the city court which takes very
liberal Interpretation of the dry Law.
Green has been threatened because Of
his activities in the Harbor. But he is
chafned-lightning with a revolver and
will shoot quick and to kill.
GARY MAN EELD.
Paul Melka. who conducts a second
hand store on nth avenue in Gary with
John Dobra as a partner, was held un-
der $4,000 bond for the Federal grand
iIry bv Commissioner Surprise and his
auto and its load Of whiskey Will be
held at the Hammond police station for
the Federal authorities. Melka's place
was raided and valuable evidence secur-
ed by the Gary police that he has been
running blind pig Melka had on his
auto when arrested by Hammond police
II gallons of whiskey and 36 quarts of
Coeuac brandy. He has signed q full
confession.
ANOTHER HARBoR CASE.
Nick Andre of Indiana Harbor was ar
rested by the L. S. Marshal for bringing
one barrel Of whiskey and other liquors
from Chicago. Andre has signed full
confession and Special Agent Green will
also ask the indictment of the Maryland
Disulling Co of Chicago for entering
into a conspiracy TO violate the Federal

sented to his council. The state council

FRIDAY. JUNE n. 1918.


The boys are going over.
Twenty Woodstock boys have al
ready reached France. Many
more are in camps awaiting the
order to move. They seem anxi-
Gus to 60. They want to strike
the Huns a decisive blow. They
have read about the outrages in
Belgium, where old men, women
and little children, clinging to
their mothers. were brutallv
slaughtered by the Germans.
Though the scripture says
Vengeance is mine, l will re-
pay, saith the Lord" yet they
cannot know what cruel things
the Germa ms have done in Bel
GUM and France, without desir-
ing to avenge such foul deeds.
This is not all that stimulates
our soldiers. They know that il
the allies do not succeed, these
outrages will be committed in
our own land that our property
will be destroyed, our lands laid
waste, our women outraged and
murdered and our little children
brutally bayonetted by the brutes
that are termed German soldiers,
Prisoners have been crucified in
sight of the lines of the allies
old men and women have beer
nailed to barn doors and every
species of torture has been re.
sorted to by these demons of the
Kaiser.
Their subjugation is necessary.
Whatever may be the cost in
men and material, the world
must destroy the power of these
evil spirited men. They must
do it in self defense, and in de.
Tense of their homes and their
families. It is no longer a ques-
ton of cost, it is one of neces.
sity.

Some Road Statistics.

Here are some interesting road
statistics taken from the latest
figures available !:
The total cash expenditures for
roads and bridges in the United
States in 1917 amounted to
272,634.424. It is estimated that
the value of statute and convict
labor put on the roads was $751;
100000. Expenditures in our
territory were: Alabama, ST..
1868 ; Arkansas, $3.443,S 1877 ;
Georgia, So, $50, 900; Kentucky,
$4,44s,533 Mississippi, $685.
500; North Carolina, $780,
900; Tennessee. s., 500, 600; Vir-
