Gentle Nurse at ST. Margar-
cts Cannot Bear to turn
Sufferer Away.
BUT EVERY GOT WAS FILLED
Finally She Solves the Problem by
Offering Own Bed for Use
of Patient.

Michael Bobrela. 40 years old, a for
eigner who was taken from Gary to
St Margaret's hospital last evening
suffering with appendicitis. died this
morning. Bobrela being homeless and
none of his relatives being in this
country, his burial will likely be a
county charge. While in Gary he
worked in camp II.
The arrival of Bobrela last night
in the hospital taxed that place to the
limit of its capacity. Being brought
in late at night the sisters found
themselves in a dilemma, owing to the
crowded condition of the hospital. Not
another vacant bed could be found. no
matter how diligently the sisters
sought among the hundreds in the ward
and yet they did not have the heart
to refuse admittance to the stranger
who was a charity charge.
Finding no place where the dying
nurses ordered that her bed be brought
from her room and prepared for the
sufferer Other beds were moved clos
er together and room provided for the
I foreigner that he might have a place
to spend his few remaining hours
| After an all night watch at his f)ed-
side he died this morning. trying by
his gratitude for the peaceful place

which to die.

NEED ONLY MAKE
THEIR MARK"
Foreigners Glad to Learn
Naturalization Papers Re
quire no Signature.
ANDERSON MAY SIT HERE
United States Judge VIII Be Re-
quested to Occupy Bench in Ham
mond Next April.

Chas. Surprise, clerk OF the district
court has received the context of a
decision recently rendered by the Su-
preme court of the United States which
contains good news to many foreigners
The decision is to the effect that a
foreigner in this country asking for
his first naturalization papers need not
declare himself in writing. that he need
not be able to read and write and
that the making of a mark" will be
sufficient as a signature to the papers.
Owing to the great infiuxy of for
eigners to this part of the state natur-
aliZation proceedings are becoming
common, especially since the foreigners
can get their papers with such little
difficulty from the district clerk who is
located in the Federal building IN Ham
mond.
More inconvenience, however, IS att
tached to getting the second papers
which make the applicant a full fedged
citizen of this country. Candidates now
must go to Crown Point and bear the
expense OF taking their witness with
them.
Attorneys Of this city who have been
appealed to by applicants may ask
Judge ANDERSON OF the DiSIrlct court
to appear in Hammond on the first
Monday of next April in order to fill out
the papers and thus save them from
the expense of going to Crown Point.
Judge Anderson has always been more
or less adverse to hold court in Ham
mond or appearing here for the purpose
of making out the papers but he has
stated that after the Federal building
was completed he would gladly come
here. His first date in Hammond since
i the completion should have been on the
first Monday in October but the Judge
viii be in Europe by that time and
need not appear In Hammond until
the following April.
That foreigners in this region are
anxious TO get their papers and that
/ they are inconvenienced by going to
/ Crown Point is evidenced by request
that was made to Chas. Surprise. the
clerk, which was TO the effect that il
I he would carry his books to Gary
some SEQ foreigners would take out
/ their first papers. Mr.. Surprise tried
to get authority from Judge Anderson
and also from Washington but received
as an answer that the law says that
I the court books and records are not
i TO be taken from the building.

PROSPERITY DRIVES
FRANK LULU INSANE
Proprietor of Once Popular
Saloon Victim to His
Own Business.
NOW IN CELL At STATION
This After Attacking and Being
Beaten by Wife of Rival
Saloonkeeper.

The too frequent sampling OF his
own goods and too much prosperity
drove Frank Lulu. the proprietor OF a
prosperous saloon at the Standard Steel
settlement to dispose of his business
and now to a cell in the police station
where he is a complete wreck, and
will be examined as to his sanity.
The unlucky man not only suffered
these losses, but this morning in ad-
dition was badly beaten by Mrs. Lom-
bardi, the wife of saloon keeper in
the district, in whose place he tried to
stir UP trouble, and who went at him
with heavy beer glass. In the mixup
she used the novel weapon with great
effect and as a result several stitches
had to be taken in his head and face.
Lulu came to Hammond about a year
ago and established a saloon at the set
tlement, which soon grew to be one OF
the best patronized of any at the place
Lulu was unable to stand the sight OF
so much wet goods about him and he
began to drink as hard any of his
customers. He was arrested for viola
ton of the liquor laws and his business
went from bad to worse.
He leased his business about two
weeks ago, but continued drinking al
the various other places. This morning
while in a temporary ft of insanity
brought on by drink, he went to the
place which he had leased and drove
the bartender and the new proprietor
from the place. After drinking all ht
wanted, he went to the lombard salooI
where he tried to drive Mrs. Lom.
bardi from the room. She retaHatec
with a beer glass and the officers came
upon the scene just at the right no
ment to save the parties concerned from
committing murder. Lulu wa!

Who Beat Him Was
Ex-Boarder's Tool.

The West Hammond police are
searching for the assailant of Baldus
Max who was waylaid and beaten
Tuesday. Mr.. Max swore out the war
rant for his assailants arrest before
Judge Hunter OF Burnham, yesterday.
Max refuses to make public the name
of the party who attacked him until
he is arrested His assailant was not
an eX-boarder. but was a stranger, who
the victim believes was either hired or
melted by the eX-boarder to thump
Max. The ex-boarder had a grudge
against Max, but not having the cour-
age to attack him or having an abund-
ance of discretion. it is said. induced
a third party to do the job.
Previous TO the attack Max had re-
ceived several threatening letters from
the party who. hired the other fellow
to slug him. Max was given. or viii

WAS IT A HOLDUP7
Police Doubt Story of Harry
Jewett Who Beat
Martin Donohue.
Especial to Lake County Times,

Gary, Ind. Sept ia three-cor-
nered fight that has probably as many
sides to it's story, was pulled of last
night in the patch. amidst a good deal
of noise. Two little men, Martin
Donohue, and another whose name
could not be learned, according to the
large fellow-Harry Jewett-attempt-
ed to hold up Jewett, who turned upon
them and put one TO fight and catch
ing the other, Donohue, beat him very
badly. in fact. so badly that those who
were attracted by the noise called for
the police to take care of the com
batants.
The officers who were travelling on
another part Of the beat, came running
up and took the men in. DR.. Walsh
was called and dressed the wounds
of Donohue, who was removed TO St
Margaret's hospital at Hammond last
evening.
Jewett is being held until the story
can be unraveled Donohue claiming
that he was so intoxicated that he
did not know what happened and
claiming that he could hardly have
been trying to hold up anyone in that
condition.
The beating he received was an un-
merciful one and the police are in
cIined TO scout the holdup story and
put It down as an ugly drubbing afrail
for which Jewett should account Jew.

WILL LEAVE FOR
ALLIANCE MEETING
Paul Lipinski Goes to Balti-
more to Attend the Ma
tional Convention.
HIS WORK THERE IMPORTANT
Is Vice-Chairman of Committee Hav-
ing in Hand Drafting of
New Charter.

The Polish National Alliance, which
has a large membership in this city
and which points to Paul b. Lpinski,
one Of Hammond's leading real estate
and insurance men, as one Of its most
influential members, meets next week
at Baltimore for its annual convention,
at which time questions of national
Importance will be discussed and acted
upon.
Hammond, particularly the Polish
element. is vitally interested in this
convention and through Mr.. Lipinski,
is also well represented. Mr.. Lipinski
is considered one of the leading men
of the alliance, which has a member
ship Of over $4,000, and he was signally
honored at the last convention when
he was chosen as vice chairman Of a
committee which has in hand the draw
ing up of a new sub-charter that shall
be applicable in all the states of the
union. The alliance has now only one
charter, which is drawn up and approx
! ed under the laws of Illinois The
sub-charter, which Mr.. Lipinski and
his committee members have drawn
up and which they will submit, aims
to be effective in every state and the
probabilities are that it will be accept
ed at the convention next week The
members of the sub charter commit
tee are: Chairman, John Maternowicz.
Buffalo; vice chairman. Paul B. Lipin-
ski, Hammond secretary, J. ]. Chrzap-
owski, editor Polish Courier. Milwau-
kee; B. Czarnecki. Chicago; and ex-
Judge J. Kucki, WiIkesbarre Pa.
Needs of Immigrants Next.
| Probably the most important ac-
tion that will be taken following the
report of the committee will be in the
interests of the Polish immigrants
landing at New York A polish immi-
grafton station to be maintained by the
alliance is now contemplated for New
York. Working in the same spirit are
two committees, one on the industrial
accommodation for the immigrants
and the other on colonization of the
newcomers. Should the convention act
favorably on the report of the indus
trial committee bureau Will be estab-
| lished in Detroit.
| The Polish Alliance wants a daily
paper printed in the Polish language
and which is intended as a sort OF or
gan for the alliance.
The question of statues which has

Paul Popiel, one of the most noted
sculptors of the old country, arrived
from Lemberg, Galicia. this week to
undertake the work of creating an
equestrian statue of Count Pulaski, the
hero of the American revolution. and a
second one of Kosciusko. which, how
ever will not be on horseback.
The proposition for a Polish college
to be erected at Wilkesbarfe by the
alliance will in all probability be acted
