Among those who were most seri-
ously injured is Frank Messer of
East Chicago. He is laid up at his
home and Mike Jusko is in the jail
at Whiting, charged with assault
and battery. Jusko was arrested in
Whiting yesterday on complaint
signed by John Rajchinetz of East
Chicago, a brother-in-law of the in
jured man When he was arraigned
in Justice Jones court late last
night the justice refused to accept
bail for him until the extent of
Messer's injury could be ascertained.
1t was said by the prosecution that
the mans skull was broken and that
he might die. II he should die the
charge OF assault and battery now
pending against Jusko would be dis
missed and a more serious one insti-
tuted
When the reporter FOR The Lake
County Times was n East Chicago
today he learned that the injured
man is being attended by DR.. Scnlie-
ker OF that place and the doctor was
asked by telephone in regard to the
extent of the injuries The doctor
said that Messer's injuries are not
as bad as IS was first thought and
that there is little danger that ne
will die
When he case comes to trial it IS
said that fued of long standing in

aired II is also probable that

bration at Hessville last wednesdays

Nav Go at It Again.


Experts are at work now auditing
the books and when their work is
finished the company will either be
reorganized and the dissatisfied
stockholders dropped out. or the
risks it has now on hand will be in
sured in other companies. or at least
so says Mr. Grey.
The charter is broad enough to
drop all present risks, provided the
surplus premiums are repaid the
policy holders. after which the COM
pany may assume new risks.
On June the Wabash existed one

Peach of a Charter.

Its charter is such that it can stand
even harder wear than it is having
at present. It's interests are guarded
by Attorney McAleer's ability, and
Senator Bells name adds to its pres
tige.
As for the local men in the COM
pany, their prosperity is evident, and
taking their prosperity as an assur-
ance of good faith, policy holders in
the Wabash may be assured that
there is money in the stockholders
even if there is none in the Wabash
Insurance company.
The charter binds the stockhod-
ers to meet the liabilities of the com
pany with twice the sum that they
have subscribed toward the capitali-
zation.
No Losses Reported.
The charter under which the
Wabash company has been doing
business" said a prominent lawyer
/ this morning, "and under which it
i will possibly do business again, was
lug out of the archives and is of
ancient origin. It's provisions are as
broad as the state itself, and with a
legal twisting it can be construed to
leave the company absolutely irre-
sponsible to the state and the policy
holders.
THE statements l have heard as
coming from the company, are to the
effect that nobody in Indiana lost
any money through the winding III
of the Wabash company's affairs
That may be. an doubtless is perfect
ly true. The policy holders have
been resting easily all this time
Barring general conflagration theii
claims would have been settled OF

bash company has had the use o
their money and I cannot see tha
this turn of affairs has deprived
them of the use of ii or even Of it

says it Will reinsure its risks in othe
companies. does it? Well, I've heart
of that before"
From all ! can understand" con
tinued the lawyer. the policy hold
ers have had nothing in the mean
time but the bhssful feeling of be
ing insured. :

the local agent of the state Republi-
can machine.
Are there any Democrats in Ham
mond? Ex-Mayor Knots says he
can't find any At least, he knows of
none who could be induced to accept
the police commissionership.
The law requires that there must
be three members on the Metropoli-
tan Police Board, two of which must
be of one party and one of another
The two Republicans are now
serving, but the governor has not
been able, through his representa-
tives in this city to select Democrat
that would be acceptable to the chief
executive.
The leaders of the Democratic
party in the city realize that the
policy of the governor in regard to
law enforcement is an exceedingly
unpopular one and, although few
of them may be in sympathy with
him, they will not jeopardize their
political future by attempting to en-
force his orders.
So for two months the police
board has had but two members and
this number IS not likely to be in
creased for some time.
Mr.. Knots admitted that the gov
ernor was building UP machine il
the state. but defended him by say
ing that no public man could enjoy
long political life unless he spent {
good part of his time perfecting {
political machine that would run per
fectly when needed

while the mayor was not only eiecte
but has been reelected in spite of tn

Politicians have learned by bite
experience that a machine is neces
sary to success in politics. and thi
is why the governor is busy with tn

rough roads to another governorshi
