EASY TO HIKE IN PANTS
Sex Suspected by Captain Bunde
and Quick Change Ordered in
Court.


Thinking that is is easier to pass
through the country in man's
clothes. Mrs. Henry Griffin, a negress,
tried to pass through Hammond this
morning in company with her hus-
band. They are making cross
country tour from Omaha to Indian
apolis and went the distance from
Omaha to Hammond without suspi-
cion.
Then they met Capt Bunde, who
happened to be on the north side
this morning. Bunde was suspicious
and Immediately stopped the timer
ent pair and demanded to know what
they carried in their bundles. They
are women's clothes which belong
to my sister at Indianapolis, and we
are going to take them along with
us for her." explained Henry. This
answer did not satisfy the captain
and he took the pair to the police
station where it developed that the
smaller of the negroes was a female.
Seeing that the evidence was
against her Mrs Griffin confessed
without as much as even letting a
blush pass over her face. She was
ordered to the Jail with instructions
to get into the woman's apparel that
e4e ,,rr;o5 - tba b,,r51o Che <,1>nx-
ed and came out woman.
IN the meantime the husband vas
telling his story to the policemen,
saying that they were on their way
to Indianapolis where he thought he
could find work. He had money in
order to send his wife there by train
and he intended to follow on foot
But his wife objected to his going
alone and offered to accompany him
Therefore it was found more exped-
lent that she appear in mans clothes
and act as much like man as pos
sible. But you can't fool that cap
tain," he continued.
In the course of his story he told
that he was married to the gal" at
Quincy, ILL.,, three years ago and that
since then they have moved to Oma-
ha.
He had served five years in the
army and claimed to have been with
Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan hill in
the Spanish-American war. He also
claimed to be a hard-working man,
and what ever truth about his sol
der career may be. his hands showed
that he was accustomed to hard
work.
A collection was taken up at the
police station and the couple sent
on their way to Indianapolis, al
though the officers have their sus-
picions whether the woman will con-
tinue to wear her proper garments.
At any rate she can smoke a black
clay pipe as we'll as any man, and
has proved her delight in doing so
when the captain found them They
left town in southerly direction
and nothing has been heard of them
since.

POLE TELLS STORY OF
ALLEGED MISTREATMENT.
Frank Iszkowisz Comes to Police
Station With Face Badly Cut up
and Swears Out Warrant for Frank
Anderson.

Frank Iszkowisz living on the
north side had a warrant issued this
morning for the arrest of Frank
Anderson, on the charge of assault
and battery. Thus far Anderson has
not been located and only one side
of the story could be learned from
the Pole who appeared at the police
station this morning with his head
badly cut on both sodes. He fairly
trembIed with anger as he told his
story of alleged brutality and mis-
treatment. As he was unable to
speak the English language intelli-
gently John Idzorek of the Lion store
for him as interpreter.
Iszkowisz was unable to give the
name Of the saloon on the north side
in which the slugging took place.
He said that he was at the bar hay
ing ordered a glass of beer and that
Anderson and another fellow enter
ed after him. Taking the Pole by
the shirt collar he said to him: sBuy
us drink you - Pole" The lat
ter refused and Johnson began to
hit him in the face repeatedly. Isz-
kowisz came to the police station
and there told his story Of alleged
Imistreatment.

Add to $1,000 surplus.


A year or two ago there was found
to be surplus of $4,000 in the fund
for educational purposes and it was.
soon decided to add to this amount
and erect a building that could be
used for the manual training work
and where provision could also be
made for an auditorium. The idea
in devoting the building to these two,
purposes is to remove the noise of
the shop work as far from the other
class rooms as possible and provide
for an auditorium for public enter
tainments that would be near the
ground.
A short time ago work was begun
on substantial building of paving
brick, the dimensions of which are
50 by los feet and which is expected
to cost in the neighbophood of $20.-
600. This structure is now nearing
completion and is ideal for the pur-
pose for which it is intended.
There is a large front room where
drafting is done and the tracings
made on transparent linen. This
linen is then taken to the blue print
room under the wide stairs in the
foyer which lead to the auditorium.
where the blue prints are made.
Shop Equipped With Lathes.
These prints are then taken to the
big, weH-lighted shops where models
are made and the finished article is
produced. The shops are to be
equipped with lathes and will be op-
Grated by electric power. There
will also be carpenter benches with
complete set of tools for each pupil
The work shop is 10 by so feet, with
11-foot ceilings and is well lighted
by numerous windows along the two
sides of the room.
Back of the workshop is a rear
basement where the furnace for the
steam heating has been put. There
is also a room that is to be used as
a washroom and will have lockers
for each of the students. Above the
basement is a lumber room where the
supply of lumber is to be kept and
dried until it is ready for use.
The broad stairs mentioned above
lead to the second floor where there
is a retiring room for women and a
large room for kindergarten classes
that may be opened into the audi
torium by raising three large roller
curtains.
Auditorium to Seat 500.
The auditorium itself Will seat 500
people comfortably A twenty-six
foot stage has been built which has
a dressing room and shower baths
on one side for men and the same
accommodations for women on the 9TH

CHICKEN THIEVES ABROAD.

Chicken thieves are abroad in the
east as well as in the north side of
town Thus far the owners have
been unable to apprehend any of
them. although they have strong sus-
picions as to the guilty parties. It
was only last night that a number
of birds were taken from the coop
belonging TO G. w. Dixon, S24 Wal

WHITING GETS
FINE SCHOOL
Sets the Pace for Hammond
Board Of Education to
Follow.
FOR MANUAL TRAINING
Building Costing $4,000 to be Used
for Shops and Technical Work
and Serve as Auditorium.

Whiting is farther advanced IN
manuel training than any other city
in northern Indiana and its progress
has not been at the expense of the
kindergarten or any other depart
ment of regular school work. The
progress along this line has not been
by revolution but by evolution. In
stead of being an absorbing fad and
its Importance magnified at the ex-
pense of other equally important
courses in the curriculum manual
training in Whiting has merely be-
come a study of undoubted benefit to
the greatest majority of the students
of this industrial city.
About three years ago it was first
decided to introduce this new coz. Sc
in the Whiting schools. Tools and
benches were purchased at a cost Of
$500 or $500 and a teacher was hir-
ed at a salary of $500 a year. The
work was begun by w c. Smith who
secured subscriptions from the manu-
facturers with which to begin the
work. The first shops were put in
the basement of the high school
building, where in spite of poor faci-
lities for carrying on the work, Mr..
Smith made a success of the new
course. Later on Mr.. E. p. Jackson
was hired at salary of 1900 a year
and has since been in charge of the

of the finest of those gems which have
been taken from Mount Mica, Me-,

of precious stones by f. l.. Hamlin
and his brother, Hannibal Hamlin, at
one time vice president Of the United
States. In the necklace is the first
gem found by them "a years ago.

CANAL LOCKS IN CHINA.
Crude Contrivances in Use on the
Grand" Waterway of That
Country.

Some OF the primitive methods in
use in China are entertainingly de-
scrbed in an article, "The Grand Canal
of China" in the Technical World
Magazine.
The contrivances for locks along the
canal are very simple-stout boards,
with ropes at each end of them, being
let down edgewise over each other
through grooves in the stone piers.
Boats are dragged through and up the
sluices by means of ropes communicate
ing with large windlasses worked on
the bank, which haul them safely but
very slowly. Artificial basins were hol-
lowed out in the banks of the canal at
these locks, where boats might anchor
securely. The sluices which keep the
necessary level are of very rude con.
struction. Soldiers and workmen are
constantly in attendance at these
sluices, and the danger to boats is
diminished by coils Of rope hung down
at the sides to break the force OF pos
sible blows.
