ARTMAN's DECISION UP.
Supreme Court of the State VIII Con-
slider Peculiar Ruling.

The supreme court is to pass on the
correctness of Judge Artman's liquor
license decisions as soon as possible.
Tho case in which he recently decided
that liquor saloon was per Sc a pub
lie nuisance, by reason of the mere
fact that intoxicating liquors were sold
''by the drink" TO be drunk on the
premises, although operated under IL
cense. was today advanced for imme-
date consideration. The appellant
was ordered to file his brief within five
Indiana) within ten days thereafter.
Five days more will then be allowed
for a reply brief, thus presenting tho
case for final decision on June 4, or
as soon afterward as the court can
make up it's mind.
The appellant, Edward Sopher, was
prosecuted on en- affldavit charging
that he sold intoxicating liquors in a
saloon in Noblesville. and that said
ituous, vinous, malt and intoxicating
liquors were sold and said liquors to
be drunk on the premises where sold.
is a public nuisance, and Is to the In
jury of the citizens, etc"
The prosecuting attorney merely
proved the sale OF liquor by the testi-
mony OF Sopher's barkeeper. and the
defendant offered proof that he had a
county license. But the court decided
he was guilty Of maintaining public
nuisance and fined him $40.

Burglar Invades Cameron
Street Residence; Steals
Money and Watch
is PROFESSIONAL JOB
Work Appears to Have Been Done
By Person Skilled in the
Practice.

While Paul Lipinslxi, the we'll known
steamship agent. slept peacefully at
his home 912 Cameron street on the
North Side, last night, clever burglar
broke into his house. walked upstairs
into the room in which he was sleep
ing. lifted his trousers, vest and coat
from q chair. and walked down stairs
with them where he went through the
pockets at his peaisure AS a result of
his work, the burglar was richer by
a sum of s94 in money and Mr.. Lipin-
skis gold watch and chain valued at
s175.
The break was one OF the boldest
ever pulled off in Hammond and had
every ear mark Of the professional
burglar. Mr. Lipinski was not alone in
the house at the time. as his maid was
sleeping in another room but a short
distance away from the chamber oc-
cupied by the former. Neither Mr..
Lipinski nor the maid were awakened
and 1t was not until morning that the
crime was discovered.
The burglar evidently paid his visit
about midnight 2Ir. Lipinski's wife
was not at home. having been removed
to the Hospital several days ago. He
retired last evening shortly before 10
o'clock and noticed that all the win
dows and doors were carefully fasten-
ed. The maid retired shortly after
wards. When he awoke in the morn
4 ing he discovered that his trousers
vest and coat were missing, and he al
once began an Investigation AS he
| descended into the street floor. he
/ found the vest and coat carefully hung
on the ballistrade with the pockets
/ turned inside out. A quick glance
showed the owner that the fine gold
watch and chain which adorned the
vest were missing. a further search re-
vealed the trousers spread carefully
over chair in the dinning room. the

crease. The pockets of this article of
apparel were also inside out, and the
money and pocket book were gone. Mr..
Lipinski at once telephoned to the po-
lice and several officers were dispatch
ed to the scene. 1t was found that the
thief had gained entrance by springing
the lock on the dining room window,
and forcing it open with a Jimmy. Foot
prints about the yard showed that the
thief had made a careful study of the
premises before he entered. How he
managed to work open the window and
enter the room without the occupants
hearing him was a mystery, as Mr..
Lipinski is a light sleeper.
The house is situated on the out
skirts Of the city, and the neighboring
houses are far enough away to aid the
burglar in his work. 1t is though that
the job was done by some clever crook
who was aware OF the amount of
money Mr.. Lipinski carried, or who
saw him in Hammond with the gold
watch and followed him home. He
might have then made the plan and
with the aid of a pal who kept watch.
entered the house and made a getaway.
The work was certainly not that of an
amateur burglar as every feature
showed the hand of clever and dar-
ing old timer 1t is not known whether
the man with his pal was also re-
sponsible for the holdup committed at
West Hammond early this morning or
not but 1t is more than likely that they
were the same pair. The money taken
/ from Mr.. Lipinski included a $50 gold
certificate and this may be the means
of tracing the fugitive. The police OF
( the outside cities and towns were noti-
/ fed of the robbery but no description
+ of the man or men could be given. No
one in the neighborhood noticed any
suspicious people in the vicinity or
loafing about the neighborhood. 1t is
possible that some "Yegman or Gay
Cat" as the clever Western crook Is
known. was following the railroad ties
+ to Chicago and fell by chance onto Mr.
Lipinskis house where after a little
study he planed out the affair and es-
capped on some freight train.

ARE THE DIVES
OPEN AGAIN?
Appearances Would Indi-
cate That They Are
Girls Stick About.
GET THE TIP
However, When They Swoop Down
Upon Dump Reported, They
Fail to Find Prey.

The West Hammond dives are run
ming again If outward appearances can
be relied upon.
Last night a TINES reporter passed
by the dive district on State street and
in an upper window of one of the re-
sorts saw two girls sitting down TAX
ing life easy as though nothing had
happened.
When the trials of the girls who
were inmates of the dives came up last
week before Justice Flynn, he gave
them a light fine of s5 and costs and
ordered them out of town as soon as
they could pack their belongings to-
gether. Some of them came over TO
Hammond where they still hold forth
while the majority of them are still
in West Hammond.
When the justice levied the fines he
did, it was expected that the authorities
would see that his orders were obeyed
but 1t begins to look like they weren't
particular whether they are or not.
The citizens do not regard the police
as altogether to blame for existing con-
ditions.
Last night word was received at the
police station that Boughs resort on
Plunmer avenue was running and that
there were girls in the place. This was
verified by a drunk who was arrested
last night. AS soon as the police heard
this, four officers proceeded to his sa-
loon. two going in the front way and
two in the back, but they were unable
to find any trace of girls or customers
in tho place although they searched
from the main floor to the roof.
The police believe Bough must have
some sort Of a trap whereby he car
let his girls and customers disappear
when danger Is near.
However, the police say they are de-
termined to keep up the campaign
against the dives and sooner or later
they Will get evidence against them
and when they do. it will go pretty
hard as several charges can be pushed
/ against the dive keepers.

METHODIsTs INVADE WIN0NA.

The Methodists of Indiana will here
after make their summer headquarters
at Winona. Rev. w. J. Vigus of Wa
bash, one of the best known ministers
of that denomination In the state,
is organizing a company which pro-
poses to erect hotel at Winona lake
to be known as the Methodist build
ing. It is to cost about $4,000 and
will be built entirely by Methodist
money. It will compare with the $780,
600 building which the Presbyterians
are now completing at Winona lake.

MASKED MEN
ROB SALESMAN

and Watch From
Chicagoan.
he FAINTS WHEN SAFE
Victim After Mad Drive Falls I'm.
conscious When He Reaches
West Hammond.

Maurice Zielechower, travelling sales
man and collector for Hirschleder &
Schreyer, wholesale calendar makers of
Chicago, was held up yesterday even
ing about o'clock between Dalton, Ill.
and West Hammond and robbed Of
s145. some small change and his watch.
zielechower was just about to enter
the West Hammond limits when two
men masked with red handkerchiefs
and armed with 38-calibre revolvers,
stepped in front of the buggy and
ordered him to throw up his hands.
Maurice concluded it would be the best
thing to do, so he submitted with all
politeness possible.
"ShOt Like a Dog"
After the men had gone through his
pockets and his sample cases they told
him to whip his horse and get to Ham
mond as fast as he could or he would
be shot like dog" Zielechower was
taking no chances of getting shot like
a dog, which could plainly be seen by
the condition of the horse when he
arrived in West Hammond. The strain
upon Zielechower himself had been
such that he fell in a faint as soon as
he arrived and 1t was ten minutes be-
fore he was revived. He was unable to
locate the police for over an hour.
which necessarily delayed the chances
of capturing the hold-up men although
the police believe that they have a clew
which may lead to their capture.
Zlelechower said last night that he
was sure the men were Polish. One
of the men wore a sandy moustache.
ZieIechower believes he could identify
the men If they were captred.
zielechower Is a married man and
lives at CSC West Polk street, Chicago.

ernment regulations and the opening
of the river to traffic.
The meeting was opened by Colonel
Bixby who stated the reasons for hold
ing the public hearing.
Kennedy, Nigger In the Wood Pile.
To the surprise of everyone 1t was
discovered that the whole matter was
brought to an issue by City Attorney
J. D. Kennedy of East Chicago who
wrote a letter to the war department
In which he stated that the city he
represented did not want to be bothered
with the matter of opening and closing
the Forsythe avenue bridge and sug-
gested that as there was no navigation
east of East Chicago it would do no
harm to leave the bridge closed alto
gether.
During the hearing. Mayor DeBraie
made a faint effort to uphold the con-
tentions Of his city attorney. but he
found that Engineer Bixby knew more
about the Calumet river than he did
and the logic was all taken out of the
argument that the traffic on the river
compared with the traffic on Forsythe
avenue did not make advisable the
frequent opening of the bridge.
The first persons to be requested TO
give arguments in favor of the open
ing of the bridges We're the boat own
ers who have time and again found il
next TO impossible to make a trip of
any length on the river on account OF
the numerous unopenable bridges.
Boat Owners Testify.
| Among the boat owners who testified
were John Harvey. representing the
Great Lakes Dredging company. and
Joseph SPAIN, Captain Nick Kahl and
| William Stein of Blue Island. all The
owners Of large passenger steamers.
| The testimony OF these men was one
of the surprises of the meeting for ii
became at once apparent that instead
OF being a useless pond. the Calumet
river would become an important nat
ural highway. for ell kinds and descrip-
tions OF boats OF the bridge problem
| could be satisfactorily solved.
Mr.. Harvey of the Great Lakes
Dredging company said his company
was at the present time contemplating
the establishing of a steamboat ser
vice between South Chicago and Gary
that would involve the running of ons
boat each way every day.

boat on the river If the bridges would
be opened and it is probable there
would be quite a traffic on the Calumet
If the stream is only opened to navi-
cation.
Goes Back to Old Times.
One OF the old rivermen told of the
time between 1885 and 1903 when big
schooners were towed up the river
and deposited cargoes OF lumber on the
docks in Hammond. This mad been
made impossible since by the inability
of the boats to get through the bridges.
Lake county was found TO be one OF
the most negligent Of the bridge own
ers and it is said there are four county
bridges that will have to be raised from
two and one-half to four feet to ac-
commodate even the smaller OF the
pleasure boats on the river.
Mayor Becker in speaking of this
matter said there was not q bridge
across the Calumet river owned by the
county that should not be on the junk
pile. He referred to the penuriousness
of the county commissioners and his
sentiments seemed to be those OF all
of the business men present.
Almost InvincibIe.
It seems ridiculous but many of the
boat owners testified that ii takes them
from one to four hours to get through
any Of the bridges in Hammond.
Engineer Bixby said an investigation
of the subject by himself had resulted
in the discovery that there are fifty
eight boats that would ply back and
forth on the river but do not do SC
on account of the distractions.
He said there were only four bridges
that had government permits and in
| timated that as the others were OBJ
structions, the war department nigh
have occasion to cause their removal
Speaking Of the future of the Calu
met river Colonel Bixby spoke in glow
ing terms of the possibilities of th'
river for navigation and then mad
the significant statement that although
tho government had only authorized
the dredging of the river to a depth o
twenty feet to the Chittenden bridg
and to a depth of fifteen feet TO tn
forks two miles east of this city TIL
prospects were good for a further ex
tension of the improvements on tn
Calumet river in Hammond.

DEATH OF HON. JOHN H.
FULLMER.

In the death of John H. Fullmer
which took place at the L. D. S. Hos
pital on Wednesday the state suffers
a distinct loss, for Mr.. Fullmer was
one of its very best citizens. He was
just in the prime of life about 40
years old and in the heyday of his
usefulness. He was born in Salt Lake
county, but in childhood moved south
with his parents who settled in Beav-
err, later he moved to Circleville and
engaged in the general mercantile
business, farming and mining. He
prospered and for years was one Of
the leading men in the southern coun-
try. For while he was deputy Unit
ed States Marshal under United States
Marshal Nat Brigham; he was county
commissioner for Piute county, and
also represented that county in the
lower house of the third state legis-
lature. He held other positions of
honor and was always faithful to his
trust. He leaves a widow and seven
children to mourn, who will miss his
kindly counsel and advice and his
good teaching and Christian example.
He also leeaves his aged mother,
Mrs. Tanner, affectionately known

WILLIAM FOTHERINGHAM.

That was a terribly sad affair by
which William Fotheringham lost his
life in an explosion in mine in which
he was interested in Montana He
was taken without a moments warn
ing and his wife left a widow and
seven children fatherless. The shock
was so terrible to Mrs. Fotheringham
that her reason is dethroned
Mr.. Fotheringham began life in
Beaver moved to Circleville and later
to Lehi, which for some years has
been the home of the family. He
was most exemplary man, kind
and considerable husband and father,
and greatly respected by all who
knew him. To his family the blow is
terrible. May the God of all grace
comfort and sustain them in their
sorrow.

crisis now confronts this country"
The reactionaries are trying to seize
the Government, and to defeat their
diabolical designs the people must
command Mr.. Roosevelt to accept the
nomination for "a second elective
term" Not a third term, it is to be
observed. The Senator thinks that
the President could no more disobey
such command than he could refuse
to serve if he were drafted in war.
On the Democratic side timid at
tempt to develop conservative candi-
date by appealing to Southern pride
has been withered in the bud. The
suggestion that the time has come to
nominate a Southern man has met
with the general response that while
the fact that a man lives in the South
is no longer bar to his ambition,
the Democratic nomination for 1908
is already mortgaged to William Jen-
nings Bryan. A canvass of the DEM
ocratic National Committee by the
New York "Times" discloses no dis
sent from this view Mr.. Clark How
ell of Georgia, when asked whether
the Democrats of his State would
favor the nomination of a candidate
from the South, responded: "Not
against Bryan next time. They be-
lieve him 10 be the logical candidate"
