Genial Larry Escapes From

Those who have been dogging the
foot steps of Lawrence Cox, Hammond's
ex-chief of police. even unto the most
quiet recesses of Hegewisch. think that
there is now sufficient evidence and
enough indications TO warrant the
statement that the genial Lawrence
may blossom out into president Of q
state bank that he and number Of the
big ones in South Chieago's suburb are
planning to organize.
OF course very one knows that Mr..
Cox is blamed for much Of which he
did not even dream. but in this case his
friends advise his movements must be

WHO'S TO BLAME
FOR MANS DEATH?
Charles Dubridge Dies at st.
Margarets From In
juries Received.

Charles Dubridge, the teamster for
Golden brothers. who was injured at
the Standard Steel Car plant on Tues
day, died last night in the hospital.
His death was directly due to the in
1uries that he received when his wagon
load OF machinery turned over on him.
Dubridge, whose home was near the
corner Of State and Sohl streets, leaves
a wife and four children. two of whom
were by his first wife. Death came
TO him last night near 1 o'clock and
he was. conscious almost until the end.
Early in the evening he said to a
number Of friends who visited him
that it would be his last night.
In the accident his hip was crushed
and vertebra in his backbone was
broken. No blame has yet been fixed
ior the cause of the accident but a
preeaution was taken last night to
take the injured mans deposition of
the accident

that instead of some of the supposed
dead being alive, 1t was most probable
that the list of dead was greater than
was believed at the time of the in
quest.
THE inquest" declared DR.. Carson.
' was based upon the official statement
of the B. & O. officials, who found evil
dences of sixty-one having been killed.
There have been rumors. once or twice,
to the effect that some of the persons
supposed to have been killed, had been
found alive, but I do not think there
has been anything definite learned in
any case. on the other hand, persons
whose relatives have never turned up
have reported their absence, and we
have reasons to believe that instead
of there having been but sixty
persons killed in the disaster, there
were quite a number more deaths.

Dubridge Tell. His storJ.

The story as told by Dubridge him
self is that his wagon was loaded at
the Pennsylvania depot with machin-
cry for the Standard Steel Car com
pany. The wagon was loaded in such
manner that part OF the machinery
extended over the seat, and in order
TO have more room, he stood in the
box behind the seat. Arriving at the
plant he stopped his wagon in front
Of one of the buildings to unload but
was requested by man in Charra
to drive UP farther as the machinery
was wanted there. Dubridge objected
on account of the poor driveway. he
being compelled to cross a raised rail
road track. He explained the danger
that he would put himself and load in
should he attempt to cross, and that
in the event of upsetting, no blame
would fall on him and that the man
in charge would take the responsible
ity. Dubridge prepared himself 10
make the drive. but not until he cross
ed TO the other side of the wagon.
reckoning that if the load should lose
its balance it would fall on the onpo-
site side OF which he was then stand
ing. He made a mistake. as the re-
suit proved. and he was caught. After
the accident he was taken into one OF
the buildings and doctor was sum
moned who gave him the first care
before he was taken TO the hospital
Dubridge was a member of the local
branch of the teamsters union. The
inquest will be held tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock. Funeral arrangements
have not been made. but 1t is thought
that they will be held on Sunday al

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. Lawrence
Becker, mayor of Hammond, who
spoke before the house cities and

that cities of the fourth class should
be permitted to pay city engineers as
high as $1,000 a year and The city con-
troller as high as $500 a year. the
matter to be left to the local councils.
I'VE have the busiest city in the
state" said Mayor Becker, "and our
city engineer is working night and
day; we are willing to pay him more
money, but cannot under the law as
it is now.
so, too, with the controller; our
citizens think that our controller is
worth s1,500 and we want to be allow
ed to pay him that"
Mayor Becker also wanted the right
to make contracts concerning water
works, involving less than $500, with
out the formality of advertising.
He thought that the county auditor
should be allowed only three cents a
name for the making of the city tax
duplicates. Further that the city judge
be given Jurisdiction in civil cases in
volving a small sum.
I'VE woud like to cooperate with
the committee in all ways" concluded

it would be hard to tell exactly, but
he hoped the road would be built and
the trains running by next summer.

Some Hammond Lawyers Guilty of
Same Neglect as LaPorfeans.

LaPorte. Ind, Feb. Judge Richter
this morning in court issued an order
designed to prevent in future an abuse
that has grown to considerable dimen-
sions in the courts here and elsewhere,
and it is going to be vigorously en-
forced by the county clerk.
It has been a practice among the
attorneys to take from the circuit
court files papers III cases while the
cases were pending and forgot to re
turn them. In few cases papers have
been lost, a serious matter
This morning Judge Richter ordered
all attorneys now having ia their pos
session or care any original papers in
any pending case or cases to return
the same on or before tomorrow morn
ing adding that failure TO do so will
subject the offending attorney TO a fine
for contempt This order applies to
papers in all civil cases pending and
also to those pertaining to estates and
guardianships. And hereafter no or
iginal papers in any pending cases may
be taken from the court files without
an order therefor, an then the papers
must be receipted for to the clerk OF

also lay the offender open to arraign-
ment and fine for contempt Of court
