FISCAL YEAR
ENDS TONIGHT
Accrued Interest on Public
Funds is Turned Over
to State.
ASYLUM IS TOO SMALL
Quarterly Settlements Also Being
Made TOday-Were the Origin
of Sherrick's Troubles.
(special to Lake County Times.y

Indianapolis, Oct. 31.-The fiscal year
for the state of Indiana ends at mid
night tonight; and today was a busy
one around the office of the state audi
tor, who has the responsibility of
checking up the account of every ap-
preparation of every state office and
state institution.
This was the day for the regular
quarterly settlements of the state Of
ficers also. 1t was this question of
quarterly settlement that started the
mess ending in the resignation OF Da-
vid E. Sherrick from the auditors office
and the beginning of the so-called re-
form movements of the administration,
of which the insurance matter is the
last manifestation.
Following their custom of three
quarters standing, Warren Bigler, au-
ditor of state, and Fred Sims, secretary
Of state, in making their reports,
turned in the interest that they had re-
ceived on the public funds that they
had had in their possession for the past
three months. These interest sums
were inconsiderable. Its the prin
ciple." said Auditor Bigler, and this
principle must obtain with reference to
public moneys"
The institutions settled up today and
yesterday, reporting by the superin-
tendents how much they had used and
how much spent. Incidentally they told
stories that means demands that they
will make for new laws at the next
| Legislature.

tendent of the Southern Indiana Hos

SEVEN LEOPOLDS CAUGHT.
BUT NOT RIGHT ONE
Alleged StrangIer of Mrs. Leslie Still
Evades the Chicago Sleuths.-Wiu
Search Levee Dives.

Chicago. Oct. 31-Seven suspects
have been arrested in four different
states, all thought to be Leonard Leo
poid, the alleged stranger of Mrs.
Margaret Leslie, the actress, who was
killed in the Palace hotel, but in every
case the wrong man has been captured.
Today the police are working upon the
theory that Leopold is still in Chicago
or vicinity and detectives are to search
the levee resorts down town and also
make an investigation in outlaying dis
tricts.
The latest report of capture of a sus-
pect is from ST. Louis.

CoTToN's ANNUAL REPORT.
Figures Compiled by state superin-
tendent Of Public Instruction.
fspeclaI to Lake County Times)


Figures Just compiled for the annual
report of Fassett A. Cotton, state SUI
nerintendent of public instruction. show
that the long campaign waged by Mr.
Cotton for the township-the non-com-
4nissioned-high schools is bearing
fruit.
Last year there was expended for
these on-commissioned high schools
the sum of 1857 7,O11.So as compared with
aal2SsSO1 of the year before. Making
I'M that item of total cost are the two
items of salaries paid the teachers and
the amount expended for apparatus,
books, etc,
The salaries increased from s2S3.-
a57.s7 to sS15.6s7.75 this year and the
cost of apparatus. books, etc. increas-
ed from s2e.5S0.24 to S41.S13.55.
This increase in cost in in the face
of a decrease in the number of pupils
Anrolled in the non-commissioned
schools In 1905 there were 14.S1s
pupils enrolled in the non-commissioned
high schools; in 1905. there We're 1881
The average cost of teaching each
pupil therefore, has increased from
S3O.9S per year to s27.25 each year, the
Increased cost coming largely in what
is known as the township schools.

In Many Cases Merchants
are Offered Big Bonus
For Lease.
GOOD LOCATIONS FEW
" Where Will the Overflow Co." Is
the Question that Agitates
Real Estate Men.

There is such a demand for store
rooms. advantageously located that
several Of the proprietors OF business
blocks have been offered a big advance
in rents for their buildings. In the
case where merchants have secured
leases for two or three years in ad-
vance they have been offered a big
bonus to vacate before the expiration
of their lease.
There seems to be tendency to con-
fine the office building district to Hoh-
man street between the Michigan Gem
trail tracks and the school building and
on State street between Morton Court
and the Monon tracks and It is the
property that is located in this district
that is in greatest demand by business
men.
Charley Holman was approached
some time ago by man who wanted a
nfteen year lease on the Holman block
with the understanding that he would
spend $4,000 in repairs on the bufld-
ing. His plan was to rent the prop
erty and raise the rent enough to paw
back his $4,000 and earn a substantial
sum besides.
son or another and finally there was
such a demand for locations in this
building that Mr.. Holman raised the
rent TO the figure that the would-b be
lessee expected to charge and was
saved the expense of making the s25.-
600 improvements.
| This IL rrueesto. certain exfenf vflksz
al astee store rooms that are beiae
Trsnred on Holman street between State
and Sibley streets. Only a few aays
ago Chicago merchant came out to
Hammond with the idea Of starting in
business here. His plans all worked
satisfactorily until he came to decid-
ing on a location for his business and
when he found that he could not buy
a lease even for the magnificent bonus
he was willing to offer. he went back
to Chicago disheartened.
The territory described is filing up
so rapidly that the property owners are
beginning to realize that there will
have to be overflow TO some other
section of the city. Whether it Will
be to Sibley street. Fayette street or
whether it will cross the tracks to
State street is only matter of con-
lecture. If the man who knew had
money TO invest, he could doubtless
make a fortune.
The fact remains that the business
section of Hammond is crowded and
that rents are going up so high and so
fast that a new business district or
some satisfactory extension of the old
one will be the only solution OF the
problem.

DRAG-NEr FOR DRUG FIENDs.

Chicago, Oct 3O.-The police depart
ment has ordered drag-net thrown
out for all drug fiends." Chief Col
lins has instructed his detectives to
raid cocaine and opium "joints" and to
watch all drug stores where narcotics
are sold. This is done as it is believ-
ed that Leonard Leopold has returned
to the city and is in hiding. If this
theory proves true, his fondness for
drugs will doubtless lead to his cap
ture, as it is believed he has returned
here to get drugs which could not be
obtained in the suburban towns away
from Chicago.
The belief that Leopold has returned
was strengthened by the arrest of Will
liam Reed, who fed from a drug store
at state and Harrison streets, after
Offering SIS for cocaine. The police
sweated him and looked for a woman
who, Reed declared, gave him the
money to purchase the drug or a
friend out of town.
In the meantime Coroner Hoffman
declared today that a high police of
fetal had stopped an investigation of
the Leslie murder by the states attor-
ney declaring it a suicide, At the
same time Coroner Hoffman gave out
the details Of the charges against De-
putty Coroner John Cummings, under
whose directions a verdict of suicide
was returned.

tain Evans of the bureau of identif-
cation as an ex-convict who had served
