War on lawbreakers sweeps Frankfort for reform
A broad reform drive in Frankfort Indiana targets saloons and gambling dens after two years of lawbreakers flouting the law. The Civic federation pushes to shut pool selling and book making during races, forcing the Frankfort racing association to cancel the event and reject a $7450 privilege bid. A citywide crackdown is planned with investigations and remonstrances aimed at closing many saloons. Telephones were out in downtown for several hours due to an accidental outage, later repaired.
