BLACK PATTI SHOW
 SCORES B|G SUCCESS
HGreatest Singer of Her Race True Description of the
 Colored Prima Donna,
. e~ . . . ~><e~~ . . .

The production of the Black Patti Troubadours at the Opera House on Sunday evening to crowded house, in which standing room was at a prem ium. was one of the best attractions which have visited the city for some time. With the exception of Fred Mace in "The Umpire" it was prob ably the best.
 Concerning the rumor that the lead ing woman with the company whicf played here was not the real Blaci Patti, the management made a pos tive denial, and the applause wit which the singing of this colored prims donna was received was evidence of the fact that if she were not the real Black Patti, she was at least as good. Ii is often that Tumors of this kind get started, one instance being that the man who would play the title role in "The Umpire" at the local Opera House would not be Fred Mace. That that statement was started with mall eious intent was plain when Mace whose countenance has become famii jar to the American public on account of his brilliant career, appeared in the show
 Black Patti easily carried of the honors by her rendition of selections from the classical operas. and especial Iy by her singing of My Oil Kentucky Home" Her voice is powerful, ricf and clear. and in the old-fashionec songs is wonderfully sweet.
 The supporting company Is high classed, and is well trained. The comedian, John Larkins, is funny ana clever. keeping the audience in an up roar from the time be appears uDH he gets tired and quits the stage.
 Among the vaudeville artistis. wht give various exhibitions, Aline Gas sels, carried of the honors, having | clear, sweet voice, only excelled b! that of the prima donna.

 My impression about that. official. {" he continued. ifs. that he is incom- parably honest in the public service. and that whatever mistakes may have been made do not in any way touch the Integrity of his capacity as admin istrator.

 Hepburn said that he did not thiak either the Secretary of the Interior or the president was or could bg gllsty of doing a wrong act, but that they had been MiiSsnformed as to the facts and had thus been led into doing things which he suggested were harmful.

FIRST TRAINS WILL
Run TOMORROW
Regular Service to be Begun
on the Chicago, Cincin-
natl & Louisville.

AS announced yesterday regular
train service over the Chicago. Gin
oinnati &, Louisville road will be in
augurated tomorrow.
The first train for Cincinnati will
leave Chicago at $50 p. m. tomorrow,
and the second train at S:95 a. m. Mon
day.
Trains from Cincinnati to Chicago
will arrive there daily on Monday and
afterward at $50 a. m. and Gal p. m.
The new road Is under the same man
agement as the Wisconsin Central and
this practically makes another route
through from Duluth to Cincinnati.
1t gives Chicago another important
outlet to the east, southeast and south
and it means to Hammond possibly
an up to date suburban service when
the road once gets into running order.
Throughout the line the new road has
Independent freight terminals and
through some territory it has started
the double track system
The c., C. & L. road will run into
Chicago over the Illinois Central tracks
and will use the Illinois Central sta
ton at Park Row as a passenger ter
minal.
The officials of the new road have not
given out an official schedule for
trains that will stop at it's station in
South Holman street, but expect to do
so by the first of next week.
H. L. Jackson who has charge of the
maintenance Of way department on the
road, says he is sure that as soon as
the road once gets into running order
then the officials will order the con-
struction, of the new depot to be start
ed. When completed, 1t will be the most
up to date structure in Hammond.

cobs Beat and Rob Man
Who Shows His Wad.
POLICE IN LONG CHASE
Thieves Are Finally Captured and
1ncarcerated-Are Said to
Have Records.

Gary is still infested with a class
of criminal hangers-on, who do no
work but live by their wits or on the
proceeds of their holdups. Yesterday
John Thelma. one of the laborers who
had just been paid and who was indis-
Greet in displaying his roll. was
held up and badly beaten by James
Curran and f. w. Jacobs, in the vi
cinity of Steve Jursa's saloon.
Thelma had been in and out of sew
eral saloons and had displayed a wad
of bills on each occasion. Curran and
Jacobs got their eyes on the money
and when Thelma stepped out of the
saloon they followed him and in broad
daylight Curran knocked the man down
while Jacobs went through his pock-
cts
AS soon as the money had been Sc
cured the two thieves ran away and
Thelma hurried to the police station.
Chief Martin and Offcers Jenkins and
Catey hurried down to The Patch" in
search of the men and found that the
holdups had been seen near Gus Cords
saloon near Madison street.
Some one pointed Curran out to the
officers and when the fellow saw that
he had been discovered he started tc
run. Jenkins gave chase and called
upon Contractor Stoll OF Whiting tc
help him.
StoH happened to be near Currar
when he started to run and, pulling {
revolver from his pocket, he fired sew
.era1 shots in the air. Officer 5en.
kins gained rapidly on his man ant
later was reinforced by Martin ant
Catey. who came running down tn
avenue.
The chase led around Jursa's salool
into an alley and finally. when Cur
ran had become tired out, he jump
ed into an enclosure and sat down t
rest. The officers were soon upon hin
and he was arrested and led to tn
station. Jacobs was picked up a few
minutes later.
Both men are said to be bad char
acters and the authorities are glad t
! rid the town of them.

THAW IS SOON
TO KNOW FATE
Jerome Will Not Appeal to
Have Judge Fitzgerald's
Decision Reviewed.

New York, April 6.-The indications
now are that the Thaw trial which
will be resumed Monday will come to
end about the middle of the week
This prediction is based on the fact
that District Attorney Jerome will not
make any move before the appellate
division for review of the decision of
Justice Fitzgerald in refusing him a
copy of the minutes of the secret ex-
animation of Thaw by the Iunacy com
mission. District Attorney Jerome
made up his mind this morning that
he would not fight Justice Fitzgerald's
ruling. Mr.. Jerome made a study of
the situation before he came to the
conclusion that it would be an unne-
cessary waste of time to attempt to
have the higher courts overruIe Jus
tice Fitzgerald.
When the trial was suspended for
the appointment of the lunacy com
mission, DR. Allen McLane Hamilton
was on the stand. He had been called
by the defense. 1t was said that DIR.
Hamilton will be the last witness for
the defense.
Mr.. jerome may make a speech in
opposition to the confirmation of the
report of the lunacy commission. If
he does it probably will be brief. Mr..
Jerome does not intend to call any
more witnesses.
That means that Dolphin NJ. Delmas
will begin to make his final plea to
the jury on Monday morning. Mr..
Delmas doesn't seem to know how
| long he will take. He was allotted a
day at the time when everybody
| thought the trial was near it's end
| but it is said now by some of the
! lawyers for Thaw that he may take
| two days. He has been gathering am
munition for his summing up.
| Mr.. Jerome may take three hours
or less for his speech Of course he
will ask for a verdict of murder in the
first degree, and his line of argument
may be that if Thaw now is sane, and
was insane in 1903. 1904, 1905, on the
night he killed White in June, 1905
and as late as last September, when
he began to improve, according to the
experts, then murder must cure in
sanity.
Justice Fitzgerald may charge the
| jury on Wednesday unless something
unforeseen happens. The trial will
have lasted then twelve weeks.

La PORTE A. CANDIDATE.
Its Claims for Chautauqua Location
Presented In Chicago By Rev.
Clarke r. Parker.

LaPorte with its Pine lake is a can
didate for selection as the location of
the national assembly grounds of the
Baptist church. There are other can
didates. Geneva lake is one of them
and 1t is said Winona is another, but
the latter may be eliminated as it is
the home of the Presbyterians and in
fant sprinkling and adult immersion
do not mix. This city had an advocate
the other day in the meeting of the
committee on national assembly
grounds for the Baptists held in Chi
cago. Rev. Mr.. Parker was at the
meeting and of course, he puts in a
good word for LaPorte.

COUNTY ORATOR|CAL
ON APRIL z
Hammond Looks Toward
Bonnie Haines for
Victory.

Friday evening, April -, has been
set down as the date for the Lake
County High School Oratorical contest
which is to be held at Towe's opera
house. The high school chorus con-
test will be held at the same time.
Contestants will enter from Whiting,
East Chicago, Crown Point, Lowell,
Hobart and Hammond.
The arrangements for Towles opera
house have not been made all too def
nitely as there is a possibility of a
stock company occupying it for next
week. In that event the contest will
be postponed until the following after
noon.
The interest in the oratorical and
chorus contest grows with each year
and the event this year promises TO
be one of the best ones of the series.
Thus far only three names and one
subject have been given out. they be-
ing Miss Florence Keefer '07, Whiting,
Miss Della Marsden 'O7. East Chicago,
and Miss Bonnie Hanes OF Hammond
who will deliver an essay on The True
Measure of Man"
former years both in oratory and in
the chorus Hammond is again looking
toward the first prize this year. Ham
mond holds one chorus banner in per
manent possession for having won
three successive contests and a new one
will be contested for this year.
There is a question whether the abil-
ity of both the oratorical and chorus
contestants this year viii be Of so high
an order as ii was last year.
1t was admitted that the ability dis
4 played has never been surpassed which
was also shown in awarding the prizes
/ the judges finding 1t necessary to
award two first and two second prizes
The first prize last year went TO Will
I lam Smith of Hammond and to Miss
I Della Searse of Whiting. while the sec
ond went to Crown Point and East
] Chicago.

MAX HOLDS out
ON MARKHAM
Latter Would Accept $3.50
Fee to Defend West Ham
mond in Litz Case.


The West Hammond village board
did not convene last night as three of
the members of the board, Fritzsche,
WIeklinski and Yarck were not pres
ent and as result the matter Of ap-
pointing at attorney could not be de-
cided.
Attorney Markham was out from Chi
cago and although the meeting was not
called to order he made the statement
that he would go to Springfield and de-
fend the village for $3.50. When he
made this statement it met with the
approval of all those present with the
exception of Max who still claims that
lit is too much
Max says rather than let Markham
go to Springfield he would see the
case go by default.
The next regular meeting OF the Will
age board will be held next Thursday
night and Markham said last night
that he was going to see that his COM
munication regarding the closing of
the dives came up before the board
and he would request that some imme-
diate action be taken by the ordinance
committee to closing them up.
Another meeting will probably be
called next Monday evening to decide
who will represent the village.
The board of local improvements will
hold their regular meeting this after
noon for the purpose of appointing
sewer inspectors and to transact other
routing business.

To BEAUT|FY
FAIRHOMEWOOD
Board of Public Works
Has Under Consideration
Plan for Improvement.
EXTEND LYMAN STREET
This VIII Relieve Holman of Traf-
fc and Latter Can Be Converted
Into Boulevard.

The board Of public works has un-
der consideration a project that Will
make Homewood the most beautiful
residence district in northern Indiana
At present Holman street is the only
paved street that runs north and south
through the territory and as IL is COM
PEELED to accommodate all of the traf-
fic from the country districts and to
and from the four cemeteries, which
lie in this direction. as a result the
traffic is so great that it is more than
the street can carry.
In addition to this, those who live
on Holman street are annoyed with
the dust that is kicked up by passing
teams and so they have discovered
what they believe to be a solution of
the problem
1t is proposed to extend Lyman street
clear through TO one OF the east and
west country roads so that the traffic
which comes in on Conkey avenue. the
Ridge road and the road that runs
past Humphers farm, will be turned
into Lyman and will be carried on into
the heart of the city. The funerals.
too, could be accommodated on this
road and would have a moro direct
route to the various cemeteries.
To Relieve Holman Street.
The most important result that would
be accomplished. however. would be
the lessening of the traffic on South
Holman street. which could then be
asphalted and could be made beauti-
full boulevard.
There are already many beautiful
houses being built on South Holman
street and it has been estimated that
there are at least ten more that are
to be built this spring that will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Tt is fitting that neighborhood in
which so much money is to be spent
should eliminate the disagreeable feat
ures that accompany heavy country
traffic. and SO long as Holman street
is to be paved soon the wisdom of MAX
ing this arrangement is apparent to
all of the property owners in Home
wood.
Homewood was never so prosperous
as it is now and there will be sea-
son of home building there this spring
that Will be unequaled in the history
of this beautiful suburb. A boulevard
would top the whole thing of.
