NOW FOR THE
SCHOOL CENSUS
Enumerators Will Begin
Their Yearly Task
Tomorrow.
DON'T OMIT ANY NAMES
Some Parents Wrongly Imagine More
Children They Confess to,
Greater Their Tax.

Beginning tomorrow r. Elster and
his assistant. P. We'll, will begin tax
ing the school census for the year
1907. Their work is expected to be
completed by the last of this month
When the census taker starts out
he meets with obstacles that seem to
be born in the tax dogding spirit and
he has learned from former experiences
that many people refuse to give him
the complete number of children in
one family between the ages of and
81. There seems to be a fear that
when a large number of children are
enumerated that taxes will be accord
ingly large. This opposite however is
true for according to the enumeration
will the state school funds be divided
and of course, it is in every citizen s
interest to present a complete enumer-
alton in order to procure the county's
full amount of money from the state
funds. The census taker will ask for
the enumeration of all the children in
one family ranging from the ages of
to 21, irrespective Of whether the
children are attending school or work
ing. Oother questions that will be
asked, are the parents or guardians
name; the date Of the children's birth;
their sex and their street number.
AS a matter of statistical interest,
superintendent Mcdaniel will instruct
census takers to request the nativity
of parents incidentally while asking
the necessary questions.
200 Extra Scholars This Year.
The total number of children last
year was 1851. Had the enumeration
been more complete the number would
have been considerably larger. The
school board knows that this year the
actual attendance at school will be
larger by 200 than last year.
Although the attendance is larger
still the schools are less crowded than
last year because of the opening OF
the Irving school building and four
extra rooms added elsewhere.

Rev. Charles A. simultaneously
brought into the case because he
happened to marry Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold
who in turn brought their friends. Miss
Pittman and Mr.. Palmer to be married
by the same minister.
Now for the Story.
With the cast complete the story is
as follows:
About a year ago Miss Ethel Pitt
man. fair Kankakee divorcee, wrote
a letter to Mr.. and Mrs Arnold. who
were then living at PASS Indiana ave.
nue. in Chicago, asking IL she could
come to live with them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold agreed and Miss
Pittman came on to Chicago. The
young Kankakee girl soon secured a
position as waitress in one of the
Ferris lunch rooms. 1t was not long
before she met Howard Palmer the
bell hop" in the Saratoga, and the
two were married.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold. it is claimed.
knew that both the young man and
the young woman were rather wild
and thought that If they were mar
ried they might settle down and SO
they were brought out to Hammond
where Rev. Smith married them and
where they thought the wedding would
have as little publicity as possible.
Two weeks after the marriage Mrs.
Palmer packed her baggage and left
her husband without a word of ex-
planation. After a short search he dis
covered that she had gone back to
Kankakee and made knownLthe Fact
that he had married, issv ate
ment which he sent to .kakee
/ newspaper in which he tolo all and
ended up with the assertion that for
one so young she Chis wife) Is certain
4 ly a modern Bluebeard in petticoats."
! Palmer enclosed a photograph of his
wife so that there might be no ques-
tion of her identity as the Ethel Pitt
man of Kankakee.
Was There an Agreement
Developments since, however, point
to the fact that the couple entered into
an agreement whereby both decided
to deny the fact of their marriage
It is not known what Palmer wanted
to do. but it is known that Miss Pitt
man was desirous Of marrying Jim
Hayes and she thought BY denying the
former marriage with Palmer she
would be free 10 marry Hayes.
Later Palmer denied that he had
ever married Miss Pittman and wrote
friends that he had been married in
Grand Rapids. Mich, on the 31st OF
last March and was about to leave
for Boston with his wife.
If his statement IS true. Howard
Palmer has committed bigamy and Miss
Pittman is about TO commit bigamy.
and It was for the purpose OF pre-
venting this that Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold
came to Hammond yesterday. There
are likely to be interesting develops
ments.

Jamestown Exposition Will
Come Nearest Being an
International Affair.
Bull LOINGS RISE FAST
Historical and Nautical Are Two
Words Which Best Describe
Big Project.

All over this country and even with
an interest penetrating every nook and
corner of the world, the Jamestown
TercentenniaI exposition. which opens
April 26, Is attracting the attention of
historian, farmer, scientist, educator,
mechanic, lover of pleasure, in fact all
classes of people, because the scope of
the celebration is so broad that all
tastes and inclinations will be interest
ed and satisfied The unusual interest
is natural considering that the ap
preaching event is to commemorate a
no less momentous occurrence than
the founding of the colony of James
towns, the first permanent English set
tlement in America. This was effected
as every school boy knows, three humid
red years ago, on a peninsula, now an
island, in the James river of Virginia,
a spot where deserted ruins now con-
stitute all that remains of the once
pompous and flourishing village. An
old church tower. overgrown with Eng
lish ivy, stands as a solitary reminder
of the immutable law Of change and
slowly crumblng TO dust mingle, in the
churchyard al its base, with that other
dust which once housed the souls of
men and women famous in the history
of our country; few scattered weather
beaten and moss covered tombs in
scribed with the names Of the Blairs,
the Amblers. the Harrisons, the Sher-
woods and the Berkleys; an old grass
grown fort, and a few foundation walls,
constitute the Jamestown of today.
Even the island has much of it been
washed away by the rushing current
of the mighty James, and only very re-
Gently did the general government take
tecting bulwarks about the island to
prevent the further encroachment of
the tide.
The Immense Anchorage.
Some miles down the James river
from these ruins. where the stream
broadens into the harbor Of Hampton
Roads. there is an immense expanse of
water which offers the largest safe
anchorage for ships on the Atlantic
coast. Around this harbor are group
ed within a radius Of ten miles the cit
les Of Norfolk, the commercial metrop-
oils Of Virginia and the seaport OF a
vast inland section Of several states:
Portsmouth. with the great government
navy yard Newport News, with its IA
nous shipbuilding plants and dry
docks, the largest IN the world; Hamp-
ton, where IS located one Of the ma
tional soldiers homes. and Hampton

Industrial institute; Old Point Comfort,
with it's historical associations and
Fortress Monroe, the most impregnable
and commanding fortress in America.
In the center of this cluster of cities
and towns, overlooking Hampton Roads
famous historically as the scene of the
Merrimac-Monitor engagement in 1862,
is located the jamestown exposition, on
which millions Of dollars have already
been expended WITH "a view to provtd
ing entertainment, instruction, and ac
commodation for the hundreds of thou
sands of pilgrims who will wend their
ways thither during the coming sum-
mer and autumn. The cities and towns
located on Hampton Roads constitute
practically one large city community
with a population of over two hundred
thousand people, so that it will be seen
they afford extensive accommodations
to visitors.
While the land show will be more
interesting in a historical way than
that of any previous exposition, it is
on the salt water adjacent to the eX-
position grounds that the most spec
tacular part of the celebration will
occur. Here the yachts of all nations,
the war vessels of many countries, and
the worlds finest nautical craft Of
every sort and kind will assemble BY
day and by night on these waters there
will be show of kind and magni-
tude never before witnessed, and with
the myriad of monster searchlights on
ships and shore and on the great gov
ernment piers a scene never to be for
gotten will be presented.
Opening Day April 26.
There is no longer any doubt about
the opening of the exposition on April
&c, and the program for that occasion
has been almost completed. The presi-
dent of the United States will deliver
an address at the opening and there
will be in attendance the members of
the presidents cabinet, the members OF
the diplomatic. corps. senators and rep
resentatives, and the governors of at
least twenty states. There yet re-
mains much to be accomplished, how
ever, ere the exposition can be styled
complete" but the magnificent struc-
lures which a month ago were mere
skeletons of bare timbers or steel, are
now taking on an air of completion
while there are springing up others al
most in a day and many are now
ready for the installation of the eX-
hibits. The colonial style of architec-
ture prevails in all the building and
the effect is pleasing to the beholder
The buildings of the exposition proper
comprise auditorium and administra-
tion, manufactures and liberal arts, ma
| chinery and transportation, history and
historic art, education, marine appli-
ances, mines and metals, states eX-
hibit palaces, palaces of commerce, art.
and crafts. agriculture and horticul.

nOur case. There was nothing done
when the court adjourned for dinner.
There is some talk of a change of
venue to Lake county.
Attorneys Henry Colerick and Daniel
i. Kelly for the defense in the trial
of Frank Gainouer, the engineer who
is charged with having been respon-
sible for the great loss of life in the
wreck at Woodviue have asked for a
change of venue on the ground that the
people of Porter county have been pre-
judiced by the reports of the wreck
that have appeared in the newspapers
1t is said that the case may be
brought to Lake county. in which case
the trial might be held in Hammond
or in Crown Point. II the trial is
held here Hammond or Crown Point
will be the scene of one Of the greatest
legal battles that has been fought In
this county in years.
The following is one of the four
paragraphs, freed Of legal verbiage. of
the affidavit upon which Galnouer is
to be tried and which is to take the
place of the indictment by the grand
Jury:
Text of Affidavit.
On the 18th day of November. 1906,
Frank Galnouer locomotive engi-
neer, running and controlling and in
charge of a certain locomotive en-
gine which was drawing a train of
cars upon the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road through the county of Porter. was
in the service of said railroad; that the
said railroad had established for the
guidance Of it's locomotive engineers
proper and sufficient rules prescribing
the duties of all engineers.
That said Frank Galnouer feloniously
and wilfully and with gross careless
ness and unlawfully disregarding his
duty in that behalf, failed. neglected
and refused to signal a freight train
standing on a sidetrack known as Bah
cock siding that his train was running
in two sections when 1t was his duty
to do the same; and those in charge
of the freight train standing on the
sidetrack having no notice or knowl-
edge that any other train was coming
ran their train at high rate of speed
and the engine attached to the last
named train was driven into the front
on and collided with the passenger
train, thereby crushing the cars thereof
and igniting them, and one John Doe,
whose true name to this afffant is un-
known, who was passenger lawfully
on said train, was thereby unlawfully
crushed, wounded and burned so that
he Immediately died; and the said
Frank Galnouer did involuntarily and
without malice feIoniously kill and
slay him, the aforesaid John Doe, whose
true name to this affiant is unknown
contrary To fhe form of the statute
in such cases made and provided and
against the peace and dignity of the
state of Indiana.
