INDIANA HARBOR BANKS
PAID $4,000 YESTERDAY
This in the Coin of the Realm-Will
Have Paid $4,000 More Before
Tomorrow Night-Financial Insti-
tutions Absolutely Safe-Bankers
Are United in This Claim.

Reports from all sections of the
Calumet region indicate that the banks
are in perfectly sound condition and
are still prospering. Further more
they are paying all of the notes in
cash and are not compelled to even
use clearing house certificates as is
the case with most OF the institutions
in Chicago. Not the least bit of trouble
has been encountered by any of the
banks and judging by the present
outlook and conditions there Is none
in sight. The sentiment that seems
to ring throughout the community Is
Ct perfect confidence in the banks and
the absolute safety of the deposits.
In South Chicago there are but two
banks that utilize the clearing house
certificate and these use them only
when they feel that the depositor is
drawing his money through fear
rather than necessity. Otherwise they
do not hesitate TO pay everything in
cash A LAKE COUNTY TIMES reporter
interviewed every bank cashier in
South Chicago and they were uniformly
optimistic as to the conditions. They
condemned in a unit any report that
may have arisen which would cause
the depositors to become alarmed.
1t was announced last night however.
that the salaries OF the police and the
firemen will not be paid to them in
whole. but that they will receive 20
per cent of the amount in cash at the
present time and vouchers for the re-
mainder. This is owing to the general
stringency in the money market and
has nothing to do with any individual
bank.
In Indiana Harbor the Indiana Har-
Dor State bank paid yesterday $4,000
In cash TO the employees of the Inland
Steel company on their pay checks
today they will pay SIT. 900 in cash to
the employees of the American Steel
Foundry company and tomorrow they
viii pay $4,000 in cash TO the en-
pIoyes of the Standard Forging COM
pany. This would indicate that there
is not even money stringency in this
section of the region and that the bank
has not been effected in the least
1 degree by the restlessness Of the
financial situation. In the Calumet
region the least OF the troubles OF this
\ public at the present time is TO know
that their money is absolutely safe.

DRUNKEN BRUTES HIT
WOMAN WITH BEER BOTTLE
Dastardly Assault COMMITTEE on Morton Avenue This
Morning -Inofensive Wife of saloonkeeper Severe
ly Beaten by Young Thugs-One Arrested

One Of the most dastardly assaults
that ever came to the notice OF the
police OF this city occurred this morn
ing at the STANDARD steel settlement,
where an inorensive Polish woman was
struck in the face with a beer bottle
by two young thugs. After committing
the assault the two men hung about
the place looking for trouble and so
completely terrorized the men who
were about the nelghborhood that they
got away with their bluff until Cap
tain Bunde of the Metropolitan police
arrived on the scene. The two men
started to run towards the open prair-
les with Bunde in pursuit They
wisely separated and one of the men
got away. but theO ther who was the
man who committed the assault, was
captured by the officer with the aid Of
bystanders. He was brought to the
local station where he gave his name
as F. J. Murphy, and said that his home
was Allegheny, Pa.
The two young thugs had been drink
ing and loafing about the saloons all
the morning. They are employed as
electricians at the Standard Steel Car
works and have the reputation Of be-
ing bad men," They went into the sa-
loon OF Kady Cuba on Morton ave
nue. and demanded drinks. They were
refused as the men Were noisy and
seemed to be under the influence Of
liquor. The men then started to make
rough house and smashed one Of the
windows and tore down q swinging
door. They were put out into the
street by the bartender and his en-
ployer, and they then went around TO
the rear of the saloon where Cuba
lives with his family. Mrs. Cuba was

Member Of University Team Four
Years Ago-Students Who Make
Up Team Threatened; Fail to Heed.
Especial to Lake County Times.)


Valparaiso, Ind, Oct. 31.-The entire
town and the college students as a
body, are much interested in the fact
which has just leaked out that the
members of the football team, known
as the Valparaiso university team.
which played against and defeated the
Hammond high school last Saturday,
have been dismissed from the university
The cause of their dismissal is that
the college has never sanctioned foot
ball, and that the playing of the stu
dents was against the rules of the in
stitution.
Some of those who are involved In
the trouble are the best known in the
institution and few OF them are resi-
dents of the town. AS soon as it be-
come known that the boys would be ex-
PEELED. the news spread like wild fire
and it became common gossip in stu
dent circles and in the town at large
At the present time only part of them
have been dismissed positively. and the
cases of the others are under consider

stated that they were playing as a town
team. but that they were all members
OF the university. In an interview this

playing as a town team they were all
members OF the university and that

Guilty We do not object to the boys
playing among each other on the
campus for pleasure and exercise, but
we have put the ban on intercollegiate
games and absolutely Will not tolerate
them. 1t is true that several OF the
members of the team have been dis
missed from the school and there will
likely be several more, but we refuse TO
give any names
It is said that the direct cause for
the suspension of football at the school
was because Of death which happened
in a scrimmage about four years ago.
I The victim was a university student
1 and his death was caused in a most un-
usual manner. Since that time the
! game has not been played at the school
! This. however, is not the only reason
! for which the ban has been placed on
the game. Every years an attempt has
! been made to organize a team and per
suade those who are at the head OF the
institution to allow them to represent
the school. This year everybody had
\ about decided that they were success
ful not only in perfecting an organiza-
tion. but in getting a good team to-

The boosters banquet which was held
last evening at Eislers' restaurant was
literally a bowling success and it was

comings but it was all worth while
and East Chicago and Indiana Harbor
will undoubtedly benefit by the affair.
Harry Lemon, in whose honor the
celebration was given proved himself
an exceedingly popular guest of honor
and helped to dispel the feeling of good
everywhere.
The menu was splendidly arranged
and the banquet was a wonder ac-
cording to the testimony of all of those
present. 1t was as follows: Lynhaven

loudly cheered and all OF the talks were
good.

The men are at large, having made

Six years ago he left the little home

TOMORROW 4 HOLIDAY

Announcement TO the catholics of
Chicago that they are included in the
universal dispensatiOn permitting them
to eat meat tomorrow. granted by Pope
Plus Y. was made today by Chancellor
Dunno of the archdiocese.
The notification was received in Chi
ago too late TO be announced by the
pastors of the various churches at the
Sunday services and the chancellor will
rot attempt TO tell the different con-
gregations except through the press.
The reason for the special dispensa-
ton is that today, the vigil of All
Saints. is one OF fasting and abstinence
and that tomorrow. being one OF the
great festivals of the church, should
not be made day OF pennance and
self-deniaL Through this dispensation
the feast Of All Saints IS now accorded
the same privilege as is the feast Of
Christmas when it falls on Friday. as
II is also preceded by a day OF fast
