SIMPLEX co. APPEALS
Do Not Intend Judgment
Growing Out of Fire
Will End Case.

The heavy judgment against the Sim
plex Railway Appliance Co. in favor
or the Western Rawhide Betting com
pany. has been appealed from by at
torneys for the defense. The case viii
be taken to the supreme court If the
appeals lies.
The Judgment OF s4S,soo, is one Of
the largest ever awarded in the Porter
county circuit court
The trial was the outgrowth Of the
Simplex fire in Aug. >. 1901. when
practically the entire plant was de-
stroyed, including that OF the Western
Rawhide Betting company. a concern
adjoining the Simplex plant and being
under the same roof with II.
Members of the Cantorvich family
and Judge Sehoop were stockholders Of
the betting company and rented part
of the their building to the Simplex
people. The evidence showed that the
Simplex people did not exercise proper
caution with their furnaces and this
was said To have been responsible for
the disasterous fire.
The case was first filed in the Crown
Point circuit court in 1903 and was
later dismissed owing to the fact that
the necessary witnesses could not be
found Later the case was filed again.
1t was dragged through the court
after which change Of venue was
taken to Valparaiso.

DECIDE On DETAILS
FOR NEW WING
st. Margaret's Nurses and
Doctors Discuss Details
For Addition.
WILL FACE CLINTON Street
VIII Be the Finest in the State and
Will Have Double It's Pres
ent Capacity.

At meeting last night of the Fran
ciscan Sisters and the staff physicians
of st. Margaret's hospital. several de-
tails of the big addition to the hospi-
tai, which was mentioned some time
ago in The TIMES. Were decided upon
The plans are now being drawn up by
Brother Leonard, the architect for this
society, and will be submitted in a
few weeks at which time the contract
viii be let. The new structure will
more than double the capacity Of the
present hospital and make 1t one of
modern in the state
The principal question under dis
cussion last night was the way the
new building would face. The prop
erty from the present building to the
state line and clear through to Doug
las street is owned by the Sisters, and
it was undecided whether or not to
have the main entrance face on CIin-
ton street as 1t does at the present time
or have the main entrance on Doug
las The former was decided on 1t
is understood that as soon as another
new building is required, which it is
expected will be the case in the near
future, it viii be constructed on Doug
las street and then the main entrance
of the entire hospital will be made
to face on Douglas instead of Clinton
The architect will so arrange his plans
that this will be made possible. The
addition which will be erected in the
spring, therefore, will adjoin the pres
ent one on the west side.
The new building will be capacious
and handsome. The dimensions will be
so by lao feet and the height will be
the same as the present building. The
building of this new addition was ne
cessitated by the crowded condition
in the old building. For many months
many patients have been turned away
for lack of room. The fact that the
present institution is caring for the
injured and many of the sick from
Gary. Hegewisch and other manufac-
! turing towns for miles around Ham
mond accounts for the necessity of
big and well-equipped building.
For several years the old building
was amply large enough, but since the
building up of Gary, the advent of TIL,
Standard Steel Car company and th'
construction of the Gibson yards. 1t ha.
been found far too small. The ca
works and the foreigners Of Eas
Hammond almost utilize a hospita
! themselves.
| Both the Sisters and physicians o
the town are ingrossed with the ide;
/ of the erection of the new structure
Both are now handicapped with tn
narrowness of the present building
lcapacity and will be relieved as well a
proud to work in the institution afte

HAMMOND JUSTICES WILL
FIGHT THE DECISION
In Lieu of This, Are the Thousands of
Couples Who Have Been Married
in This City in Past Years Legally
Hitched or Not-Other Issues To
Be Forced by Local Men Interested.

The battle for the marriage license
mill is now on. Three judges of Ham
mond are arraying their ability against
that of a number of legal lights of the
county seat together with clerk of the
court Shortridge. The latter's un-
prejudiced opinion in the matter was
formed today by the written state
ment of Attorney L. l. Bomberger who
has devoted his time to the investiga-
tion of the legal question involved In
substance, the ruling is adverse, to the
interests of the Hammond judges and
business men who are directly involved
ir the matter. In short. until such a
thing should happen that Hammond
would be made the county seat, the
marriage mill will never be running in
this city again.
The basis for the entire opinion
as given by Attorney Bomberger is
section 514, Act 1905. Page 7O4. which
provides: ANY clerk of the circuit
court who shall without the consent
of the Board of Commissioners of the
county keep his Office and the books
and papers belonging thereto in any
building other than that provided by
such board for the purpose, shall on
conviction be fined not exceeding 800"
In lieu of this opinion, the question
has been raised about town, Are all of
the licenses that have been issued in
Hammond illegal, and consequently the
marriages? If for any reason, this is
the case, it Will mean that the couples
who were so unfortunate as to come to
Hammond as a Gretna Green. are
illegally married. which fact would
apply approximately to between six and
seven thousand unions. Although the
interesting question has been discussed
by many it is the popular opinion of
those who are in a position to know
/ that. as long as the parties are married
/ in good faith their marriage viii be
legal In view OF this fact there seems
to be no cause for worry.
+ Immediately after the decision had
become known to the Justices of the
Peace in Hammond a council Of war
was held and it was decided that they
would not lay down their arms until
the last point was brought up and
settled in court. Their first action viii
be to try and kill the business for the
people Of Crown Point on a tech
nicality. in the same manner that il
was taken away from Hammond Tht
lucretivc business was lost to this city
for the reason that Crown Point at.

POET HERE TOMORROW.
Famous Bard of Alamo to
Lecture Friday Evening
Before University Club.

The famous Bard of Alamo. James
B. EImore. who Is to be the guest of
honor of the University club tomorrow
is expected to arrive in this city on
the Monon at 500 D. m.
He will be met by several OF the
members who viii entertain him until
the time for the lecture in the even
ing. The lecture promises TO be one
of the best things that has been heard
IN Hammond for a long while and those
Who have received invitations are ex-
pected to take advantage of their op-
portunity.
1t is hard to describe the Bard and
the entertainment that he offers as
he must be seen to be appreciated.
There will be a great many who viii
attend the Elmore lecture and who will
denounce the Ripley township poet as
a faker and an imposter. Others viii
declare that this is simply an evidence
that they have not yet learned to ap-
preciate one of the rarest poets Of
the age.
Mayor Becker has promised to In
troduce the bard and it may be re-
lied upon that the members of the Uni
versity club will do their share towards
entertaining him.
The luncheon that Is to be given
in honor of Elmore at the Lash hotel
will be par excellent and the enter
tainment committee is working on a
program of toasts by the members.
Monday evening an enthusiastic
meeting was held in the club rooms in
the Hammond building and it was
learned there that practically all Of
the forty members of the club Will be

BREAKS into NEIGHBORS
DURIAG FAMILY'S ABSENCE
Culprit Expected To Be Brought Be-
fore Judge Mcmahon Tomorrow
and Sent to Reform School-Child
Has Confessed and Produced the
Things She Stole.

Although on probation for stealing
bank containing $120 from the
Franklin school, little 12-year-eld Anna
Jansick of Robertsdale. who has made
an appalling record in the criminal
world hereabouts. could not control
her thieving propensities and yester-
day entered the house of a neighbor
John Spisak, with a skeleton key and
robbed the premises.
The child is a study for a crininol-
ogist, and although a bright appearing
girl seems to be unable to check her
thieving ways The apparent cunning
with which she works, stamps her as
dangerous little degenerate. and un-
less the authorities put her in some
institution where it would be possible
for an expert to watch her case and
make a thorough study on the subject
! it is thought that nothing can be done
t. check her career as she approaches
womanhood.
She will be in all probability be sent
to some institution until she is Of age.
but people interested in the case do not
think that it would have the right re-
suit.
| The girl has been arrested for shop
lifting in South Chicago. and for steal
ing at the Franklin school. She is
known to have filched other small ar
ticles during her short career. In the
shoplifting case, she showed a cunning
way above her years, in secreting the
PARTICLES and esca ping the notice of the
police.
Parents Cannot Understand Case.
The parents of the girl are hard
working and can not understand how
the girl should have come by her fail
ling After the recent school trouble
they brought the child before Judge
Mcmahon and at that time stated that
they would take the girl from the
public school and place her in a pa
rochial school. in the hope Of making
her see her faults. Judge Mcmahon
put the girl on probation for a month.
but scarcely half that time had passed
before she broke out again.
Yesterday she secured a skeleton key
and went TO the house Of John Spisak
at RobertsdaIe and while the family
were away. she stole a silver watch. a
small sum Of money and a childs veil.
She also took other articles OF little
value fer personal adornment. The af-
fair was discovered on the return OF
the family and evidence pointed to the
l2-year-old girl who had been seen
near the house She was confronted by
her parents and confessed and produced
the stolen articles. she viii probably
be brought before Judge Mcmahon to-
morrow and sent to q reform school.

drifted into town on the train. They
went to P. K. Noes for room but he
could not accommodate them and sent
them over to P. j. Tang's. They call
ed for dinner which they ate and then
went out. They were suspicioned on
account of the heaviness of the valise

called in who pried open the valise
and discovered that it contained big
Colts revolver, nitroglycerine, fuses
and caps and other paraphernalia.

What Has Been Done?

What is being done to secure
farmers institute at Hope this winter?
The Pioneer published the circular
sent out by the A. c. some time ago in
regard to the holding of these insti-
tutes, thinking that some of our inter-
prising citizens would take the matter
up, but up to date have not heard any,
thing further regarding the matter.
The value of an institute held in this
locality would be inestimable, and it
certainly would be big mistake for
Hope to pass up an opportunity to
procure one. Someone ought to take
the matter up and make the
necessary arrangements. If an open
date can yet be procured the Pioneer
stands ready to do what it can in the
way of advertising. etc. Someone
get busy.
