POLICE SEEK RESIDENCE OF
HARRY sCHOKIE'S FAMILY
Captain Bundle VIII Open Correspond
ence With German Authorities To-
morrow, Looking to That End-OId
Mans Life History "a PitifuI One.

The disposal of the estate of Henry
Schokies, the late north side recluse
will bring about International rela-
lions between the officials of this city
and those of Germany. Captain Emil
Bunde will probably open correspond
ence with the German authorities, to-
morrow, for the purpose of locating the
wife and children Of the deceased.
Their residence is not definitely known
although from letters and records it can
nearly be guessed at. The probabilities
are that within a month the estate will
be disposed of.
From letters in Captain Bundles pos
session it appears that Schokies was
deserted by his wife and that she re-
fused to live with him. In his despon-
dency he left the old country and land
ed in South America. where he spent
many years. Although meetings many
business reverses he managed to ac-
quire property and save some money.
Anxiety as to the disposal of his estate
as he realized that his days were num-
bered, induced him to write to the Ger
man authorities asking for their aid
in seeking his family.
From a copy of letter addressed to
his children it seems tina police Were
successful in their quest and that they
wrote to him. 1t was also evident that
he was expecting letter from them at
the time of his death. Had it been pos
sible for the local authorities to FIND
the letter they think he received from
his children, the estate could be dis
posed of without any farther delay
This letter however, is missing.

DEPENDS ON THE SQUEEZE.

In wine making" said a wine ex-
pert. "the grapes are squeezed from one
to six times, and from each squeeze
a different grade Of wine is made
That is why from one district and
from one firm so many varieties or
wine come. These varieties don't mean
that each is made from different
kind Of grape. They mean, as rule
that they are made from different
squeezes.
The first squeeze, of course, makes
the best and dearest wine. When you
buy this grade, you will always hno
on the label the words Premier Cru
first squeeze.
The French vintage Of this year
by the way, is the best since that OF
1856"

NEW LAW WILL ~
GOVERN HAMMOND.
As Fourth Glasses Prepares for Change
Under Cities and Towns Aact.
Especial to Lake County Times.

indianapolis, Feb. s.-Hammond as a
fourth class city may prepare itself
for a change in the city and towns law
as enacted in the legislature in 1905
Just what the change will be cannot
be definitely forecasted at this time,
out the rumblings in the house cities
and towns committee show that there
Will be trimmings somewhere.
me first of next week is going to
see bill reported out of the commit
tee which viii vitality affect cities of
the third and fourth class Terre
Haute will be placed in the second
class, and the other cities will come
within the provisions OF the bill that
Will be reported out
Those asking for revision of the
present cities and towns law do so on
the grounds that city government IS
too expensive, while the supporters of
the law say that it is only under its
provision that cities have had a real
business administration.
According to a member of a sub
committee, however important changes
will be made. The subcommittee was
appointed by the cities and towns com
mIttee for the purpose of drawing up
bill that would meet conditions in
New Albany, Muncie and Anderson"
The bill now In the hands OF the
committee means one of two things or
both of them. Either there win be a
general reduction all along the line, or
some Of the offices will be cut out al
together. Probably a little OF both will
result.
All of this Is tentative as yet, but
those interested in the progress of the
fight on the cities and towns bill may
put it down in their little dope sheet
that, for example. ether the boards OF
public works of these class cities will
be cut out altogether, or their salaries
VIII be reduced. This information
comes direct from inside the sub-com-
mittee who has the measure in charge
The city judge and the city controller
are to come in for their share-either
elimination or salary reduction, also
Those who have been fighting the
present law have been much more ac-
tive than those who have supported
the retention Of the present system for
another two years. This explains the
determination of the members of the
committee to grant the relief asked
for" 1t is up to the friends of the
present law to get very busy and say
house first Then In the senate Tr
the senate, Senator Stotsenberg is the
leader in favor Of revision. A house
and senate leader on the other SIDE
| of the question is demanded.
