HAMMOND COPS ARE HUSKY

Football Team Taken From the Force
Would be InvincibIe.-Chief of Police
Issues Sweeping Challenge.

The Hammond police force is prob
ably the huskiest aggregation of blue
coats to be found anywhere in the
state. 1t is a surprising thing that only
one or two men on the entire force
weigh less than 200 pounds
1t has been estimated that a football
team composed of Hammond police
men would be a world beater and con
sidering the fact that in spite of their
weight they are all fast on their feet
it Is hard to understand how they could
be beaten.
This is how the team would line up:

Austgen, OBJ, 210.

Especial TO Lake County Timez).

Indianapolis, Ind. Dec. 31.-Attorney
General Charles w Miller, who goes
out of Office shortly has interested him
self in the preparation Of a bill for the
protection OF the Indiana lakes, or In
diana bodies of water that contain
more than $40 acres.
The question of protecting these
lakes for fishing and resort places
came to the attention of the attorney
general through a complaint he receiv-
ed with reference to Lake Wawasee.
It seems that a large cement company
near there, at Syracuse. Ind. has de-
signs upon Lake Wawasee.
This company has exhausted the
mari deposits in Syracuse lake, near
the town, and needs more mari. Hence
the longing eyes that the company is
casting toward Wawasee, where there
is supposed to be plenty OF mari The

HANLY BACK AT HIS DESK
CURTAILS HIS MESSAGE.
After Illness of Several Days Governor
Returns to Ofice-Advised by Physi-
clan Not to Venture Out-He has
Worked IndustousIy at Home.
Especial to Lake County TImes).


Indianapolis, Dec. 31.-After an Ill
ness of several days, Governor Hanly
came down to his office today TO start
in on his gruelling pre-legisiature and
legislature experience He was not
at his Office all of last week.
He felt well enough TO come Satur-
day, but his physician positively for
babe his coming, so he stayed at home
To see him there in his library, how
ever, surrounded by papers, manu-
scripts a stenographer at his elbow
and another in an adjoining room to
be used as a relief, it did not seem
the visitor that he gained much by
staying at home.
AS a matter Of fact, however, he
gained in that he was able to work
on his message with less interruption
than he would have had at the office
Necessarily he saw some callers, all on
business connected with the next leg
islature but the number was limited
confined, for the most part to mem
bers Of the legislative committee, who
have been in almost constant consulta-
ton with the governor on points of
their recommendations.
one new message fact has developed:
on some points that the governor
favors, he will recommend briefly and
then refer to the head Of the depart
ment under whose jurisdiction it may
arise. For example. though he will
speak for a railroad commission bill,
he will probably make brief recon-
mendation in his message and then
point to the commissions report to him
to furnish the detailed case. This will
make the message shorter, and that
above all things is to be desired.

MaIthusIan Theory discarded.

The tendency of modern science
and of modern thinkers is to discard
the Malthusian doctrine and its impli-
cation that salvation lies in the re-
striction of population. and proceed
ing the other way around, to find
means whereby the natural fertility
Of the earth may be brought to supply
the needs of a natural growth Of pop
uation.

EAST SIDE WOMAN BURNED.

Saturday morning at 1890 Mrs. L.
Smith, a widow, aged So who kept a

clothing ignited from the fire in a cook
stove and when found was wedged be-
tween a table and the stove in a dying
condition. She was severely burned
about the body and her arms were com
pletely charred from the heat of the
flames. She lived but few hours af-
ter the accident.

serted that Premier stolypin and his
colleagues are employing the news
papers which they control to fight the
oamarilla. This, it is said, is the Sc
eret Of the Novoe Vremya's constant
references during the last few days
to the necessity for protecting the cab
met from the interference of per.
nicious court Influences M. Stolypin,
In conversation with friends, is said
to have declared that he is continually
subjected to embarrassment, adding
that he was convinced that the task
which he had set himself was impos-
sible unless the emperor gave him an
absolutely free hand, in other words,
conferred upon the cabinet practical
dictatorship. An intimation comes
from a high source that the premier
preached the subject at the first au-
dience which he had with the emperor
since the tragedy of Aug. Is, when the
explosion of bomb at the premier's
residence caused the loss of over this
ty lives.
In the above mentioned conversation
with his friends the premier is al
legged to have said that history seemed
to be repeating itself, the situation
closely resembling the closing days
of Alexander H. The reactionary spirit
was growing rapidly. He felt confident
the measure which the cabinet pro.
jected would result in a majority of
Moderates being elected to parlia-
ment as against the Extremists on the
left, whose aim was to overthrow the
monarchy and establish . republic.

Poor Mr.. Rockefeller! No
matter what he says, the public
sneers and questions his sin
certify. If he gives good advice
to his sons Sunday school class,
people wonder why he doesn't
follow it; if he says he would like
to get on closer terms of intimacy
with his countrymen, some wag
boilers "pickpocket'' and every
one clings to his valuables; if he
says he loves his country, the
sentiment is that he ought to
when it has done so much for
him. There seems nothing left
for Mr.. Rockefeller to do but
keep mum and saw wood.
