It is not a question of whether our institutions are perfect; the most fcenefic-ent of our institutions had their beginnings in forms which would be particu'arly odious to us now. In spite of polica restriction1? against the promiscous sle of life-arms it is said that Hammond is a sort of munitions br.se for the battling Chinnnien who are putting on Chicago's latent tong war. In Hammond it is the rule that no dealer is to Eel! a revolver unless the customer has a permit from th- police department. Thus the police are supposed to have a record of all gun sales.

But the rumor frequently heard that there is at least one place in Hammond where may be purchased without the formality of the permit. Chicago police have been trying to disarm the warring faction of Chinamen and efforts nrc being made at tracing their source of supply. Any Chinaman entering: Chicago is "'risked" for weapons so it is very difficult to carry them into the city. However, it is said by coming' to Hammond tne tong representatives are able to purchase guns and ship them by express, thus evading tho eye of the Chicago cops. While the few CbUiese.

of Hammond would not be interested In ChicaaVs tong arfarfTftteQ Said that Considerable uneasiness exists nd that several of the local boys have received threats because of their efforts to keep out of the Chicago mess.

OAVIS BRINGS KLAN ISSUE TO FORE STAFF CORRESPONCENf f. H. CHICAGO. Oct. 17.

The iu Klux Klan issue was raised' to a new agnitude in the presidential campaign as the result of the action of John W. Davis, Democratic nominee, in demanding that President Cooliilge publicly condemn the hooded organization. Davis drew an anti-Klan cloak tightly around his own candidacy In Hit address hero in which he again denounced the Klan by name, he went further, however, than in his original anti-Klan speech at Seagirt, N. by challenging the president to Issue a similar denunciation in answer to a heckler. The Davis managers looked upon this latest development as urn: of tremendous political effect.

They maintained that the electoral votes of 5 state New York, New Jersey, Indiana. Ohio and Illinois enouph to determine the electiqn, hung in the balance. If the president declined to reply to Davis, they contended, the Democratic nominee would sweep all five states, to win the presidency by a victory of landslide proportions.

HAN HARRY rSPECIAL TO THE TIMES1 VAtKA It A ISO, Oct .17. The state of Indiana is making a third attempt today to-get a jury to try-John O'Malley and Frr.nk McCabe for the murder of Thad Fancher, Crown Point attorney. Yesterday the -selection of a lury was progressing nicely when counsel for and McCabe threw a monkey wrench into the machinery.

Tho fact is that Porter county has appointed commissioners for five years and the 01 GRAND! ASK BENNETT tSPECIAL TO THE TfWES WHITING, Oct. 17 "Plear.e reserve the Davenport on the right hand corner of the Mezzanine for tonight." "Very sorry, but we haven't a Davenport left for jonight. XVould stats do?" "Aw shucks, well, I suppose so." The girl in the box office nt the Hoosier theater hand's up with a sigh. there were only mere davenports in the theater, how- much more pleasant her job would be." In tho old days a theater manager dreamed of a house with every seat on the Eut not Miss Margaret Bennett, owner' and manager of the Hoosier theater. When Miss Bennett lays her mar-oiled head on the billowy pillow at night she dreams of a theater of davenports and dark corners.

It wasn't I.er intention when she built the beautiful Hoosier theater to make the mezzanine floor as oasis for Sheiks and Sheb.is. The davenports were orglnally a matter of ornamen'ation and Miss Bennett did not presume they would be occupied except before and after the performance or when all seats were sold. And the soft lights in the mezzanine floor were a matter of artistic effect. The mezzanine floor which is at the back of the house and rather with a limited seating capacity at once became the most popular section of the theater and has remained so ever since. A reporter looked them over the other evening.

There they were, cooing, and billinr, the Shobas resting their pretty heads on the' shoulders of the Sheiks and watching the. ten acts of vaudeville in perfect contentment. Miss Bennett doesn't know what to do about it. She can't very well tear out the seats on the main floor and put in davenports and she can not get any more on the mezzanine. "Do you know," declared Miss Bennett, "there's a lot of married couples go up there and spoon.

Don't tell me there is no romance in this world." The telephone in the box office rang. "So sorry," said the girl, "but the davenports are all gone for tonight. I can let you have one for Sunday' evening." Sensation Murder ANT I II.
