EAST CHICAGO SENIORS
GIVE ENJOYABLE PLAY

The Stacker" patriotic play in
four acts. was staged at the Mckinley
auditorium last night by tho senior
class OF the East Chicago high school.
The large auditorium was filled TO its
capacity by citizens teachers. parents
and pupils
The plot was founded on the dis
loyalty of Mr. LaFohl. manufacturer
/, Ct munitions. who not only protiteered
ar the expense Of the government but
dislnherited his son because the lat
ter enlisted. and disinherited his daugh-
ter because she persisted in remaining
true 10 her lover who had also become
soldier,
The experience Of the son, who be-
came an aviator and Of the son-In-law
who was wounded in France and the
gradual conversion Of Mr.. LaFohl from
Stacker TO that of highly enthused
patriot formed interesting scenes.
The comedy was furnished by Mrs.
Hohenzolleren, a German propagandist.
and Neb, a black bird, who was a s|>v-
ant in the LaFohl household.

board stood four to three in favor Of
the ordinance. Mayor Mccormack at
FIRST declared the vote carried but OBJ
lection was made by city Attorney
Critics who told the mayor that the ordf-
nance could be carried only by a ma
jority vote of the members elect. that
seven votes would have to be recorded
for the ordinance in order 20 pass it..
The mayor therefore declared the ordi-
nance lost
Now. several attorneys and city Off
cials claim that Mr.. Critics did not go
into the matter deep enough and that
legislation had been passed subsequent
to Mr.. Critics authority that would re-
verse the mayors decision as TO the re-
suit Of the vote; that a majority Of
those present is all that is needed to
carry an ordinance through on its third
reading unless some clause in the ordI-
nance itself specifies otherwise.
A letter has been sent to the attorney
general of the state asking for opin-
ton on this point. Meanwhile Mr..
Critics is in Indianapolis to confer with
the public service commission and look

ton of a filtration plant
