Week Probing rs Liquor
Violations.

The United States grand jury is in
session at Indianapolis this week In
vestigating IS Lake county defendants
charged with transporting liquor into
Indiana. 1t is expected there will be
nearly as many indictments and that a
great number will be indicted on more
than one count.
However there will be no indictment
returned for Max Hirschman. the ex-
saloonman. because he killed himself at
Michigan City after he had been bound
over by the United States commissioner
at Hammond Two others have taken
the suicide route and. 1t is feared that
there may be others who will attempt
self-destruction rather than face a term
in Che penitentiary.
The twenty-three men on the federal
grand jury come largely from the dry"
portions of the state where there IS no
sympathy for liquor violators.
In a majority OF the cases Special
Agent G. W. Green of the department
of Justice has secured signed confess
sions, which will expedite the trials
when the men appear before Judge Al
bert B. Anderson.

REPORTS A
DECREASE:
County Health Officer Be
iieves That Raging Epi-
demic Has Reached It's
Peak in Lake County.

The prediction OF county health Off
Ger DR.. r P. Hale of East Chicago is
justified this morning by the small num-
Der of new cases Of influenza that are
reported. The epidemic Is under con
troll
The good work or the physicians OF
the county. the preventative measures
that have been published in THE TIMES
and largely adopted the closing of pub
lie places and the excellent weather are
responsible for improved conditions.
Contrast Is Noted.
The stringent action OF the state
board of health and city and township
local authorities and the results that
are apparently being obtaine dare con-
trasted with the late action Of Illinois
and Chicago authorities that are now
just entering into a widespread pre-
valence Of the disease.
The sunshine and its warmth are in
deed God-send to the localities efflict-
ed and Will be the means OF saving
great expense and further cost OF life.
DR.. Hale sends out word, however
that NOT the slightest relaxation mus;
be permitted in the fight against the
disease.
He does not want the Incidence pre-
vailing on the west side of the stste
line to exist in Lake county.
