EX-JUST|CE ANSLEY
WRITES OF PANAMA
Indiana Harbor Ex-Official
Views Tropics and Ca
nal at Close Range.

Homer Ansley, ex-justice of the
peace Of Indiana Harbor. who is now
in Panama, has been heard from and
in a short letter sends his greetings
to his friends and constituents in North
township. The letter is as follows:
Hotel Tivoli, Ancon. Canal Zone,
Panama, March 4. 1907.
THE LAKE COUNTY TINES Hammond,
Ind My Dear Sir:
Here l am at Panama living at the
best hotel and seeing the canal and
spending all of that money which I did
not steal from the people of North
township. Yours very truly, Homer
Ansley, J. P.
It will be remembered that toward
the end Of last year Mr.. Ansley
received some notoriety because he
was unable to produce certain files in
his office in order to make a proper
settlement with the township trustee.
While the justice Of the peace had a
plausible excuse for the missing papers
there evidently has remained a rankl-
ing in his heart, especially since 1t
was mentioned in connection that soon
er or later he would depart for Pana-
ma. Nothing, however, was said that
he would go there to spend his ill
gotten wealth, as his letter would in
dicate was insinuated.

States Attorney Healy
Takes Hand at Reform
in West Hammond.
MARKHAM At BOTTOM
Admits Interest in Reform Is Not
Moral, But Purely Desire to
Get Even.

states Attorney Healy has at length
decided TO take an active part in the
interests of reform in West Hammond.
Village Attorney Markham in behalf
OF the states attorney is conducting
the campaign which was started a year
ago by the reform committee of the
village when they took the matter of
the West Hammond dives before the
states attorney.
Nothing was done by the states at
torney and the reform element began
to despair of ever getting rid of the
dives. Attorney Markham has. how
ever stirred up things again with the
result that a number of letters have
been received by the village board from
Mr.. Healy, demanding that the ques-
tionabie resorts be closed.
Attorney Markham, who in the old
days when he and Max were friends.
was stanch upholder Of the saloons
does not claim righteousness is at the
bottom of his uplift movement. He
admits his efforts towards reform are
purely the result of his recent differ
ence with the villages chief executive
and are based on a get-even spirit
The divekeepers themselves are In
NiAllCd ~ ldht the upneaNai seriously,
one of them admitting that he feared
the states attorney meant business
Last night everything passed off Sc
renely in the red light quarter of the
village. There was not even the sign
of fight or brawl. The uplift has
apparently had a Christening effect up
on the proprietors and inmates at this
early stage of proceedings.
To change the topic, building in
West Hammond seems to be making as
much -snraEEsss4 asasjt is in Hammond,
as several residences are being erected
on both the west and south sides of
the village. 1t is reported that the
Stein -Hirsch Glue company and the
Hammond Glue works are negotiating
for a tract of land across the line for
a factory.
]. Huebner. who has erected a new
washing machine, will either start a
factory in the village or in Hammond
that will employ twenty men and the
working force will be increased as the
industry grows.

IS UNCONSCIOUS
FOR FIVE HOURS
Eight Year Old Son Of Peter
Cleland Falls off
Bridges Porch.

Allen Quigley the eight-year-old son
Of Andrew Quigley of AZ Warren street,
fell headlong from the top step leading
to the porch of w. F. Bridges resi-
dence, across the street, and was rend-
cred unconscious for five hours
There were several children at play
on the porch when Allen lost his bal
ance and fell over backward, strik-
ing his head on the cement walk, seven
feet below.
At first it was thought that he had
broken his neck, as he lay doubled up
in a peculiar manner but later an in
vestigation by DR.. Scun and DR.. Ober-
lin showed that the injuries were con-
fined to the possible concussion of the
brain.
The doctors worked over the little
fellow nearly all night and this morn
ing report that he will live, although
his life was dispared of for a while
Mr.. and Mrs. Quigley were nearly
prostrated by the shock. The porch
is a high one and the lack of a rail-
ing makes IT especially dangerous for
children.

WINS DAMAGE SUIT
IN SUPREME COURT
Crumpacker Secures Large
Indemnity for Client At
ter Three Years Work.

Attorney Peter Crumpacker of this
city was notified last night that the
Indiana supreme court at indianapolis
affirmed a verdict of $4,000 in the per-
sonaI injury case of Fred Smith against
the Inland Steel company of Indiana
Harbor.
Smith is a resident of South Chicago
and about four years ago lost his arm
while at work for the steel company
at Indiana Harbor. He retained the
members of the law firm of Crumpack-
er & Moran and brought a damage
suit against the company in the supe-
rior court at Michigan City and was
awarded $4,000, The company ap-
pealed to the appellate court where
the verdict was sustained and later
took ii to the supreme court. John E.
Anderson Of South Chicago represented
the companys side in the fight.
AS Smith is also awarded the in
terest on the money three years ago.
he is receiving a snug sum and his in
tentions now are to take up some
clerical course in the Valparaiso uni
verSity.

GARY SUCCEEDS PERKINS.
VIII Now be Chairman of the Finance
Committee of L. 5. Steel
Corporation.

1t became known yesterday in the
publication of the annual report of the
United States Steel corporation that
George W. Perkins, had retired from
the craftsmanship Of the Steel corpora
tion and that he has been succeeded
by Z. H. Gary, who thus becomes chair
man OF the board of directors and
chairman of the finance committee The
reasons assigned for the change are
that on account of close relations be-
tween the banking house of ]. p Nor
gan & Company, and the Steel corpora
tion, 1t was deemed wise to make the
change so as to decrease the import
ance of the dual relationship which
Mr.. Perkins held as a partner in the
Morgan system and as chairman of the
finance committee.
AS foreshadowed in the preliminary
figures. the results of the year 1906
were the best ever enjoyed by the
steel corporation. The gross receipts
were $685.. 756.926. This amount is an
increase of Sill. 19o.

Chicago Business Men Con
fess Progress of Calumet
Region a Menace.
OPPOSE SAG" CANAL
Declare If Project is Put Through
Metropolis Will Be Deprived
of Supremacy.

Chicago fears the rivalry of the
Calumet region. Chicago business men
are working hard to prevent the build
ing of the Calumet auxiliary or the
Calumet-Sag canal as it is sometimes
called, for fear that it will give the
Calumet region access in the future to
the lakes to the gulf canal and to the
point of the world.
The people of the Calumet region
have been Understanding the import
ance of this section as an industrial
center when their estimate of it is
compared with that of the Chicago real
estate men.
VIII see Great Rival.
That Chicago viii be deprived of her
position as the premier city of the great
lakes and will see a great rival with
access to deep-water way extending to
the ocean and located far to the south
ward usurp her commercial supremacy
Is the conclusion of the sanitary COM
mittee of the Chicago Real Estate
Board after years of investigation.
The report handed in yesterday states
that with the opening of the deep water
way through the Calumet-Sa channel
as proposed by the government engi-
neers. the chance for the rehabilitation
of Chicago's once mighty lake COM
merce is impossible. The city's very
commercial existence is, the committee
declares, menaced by the plan.
Nation Cares Not for Chicago.
After giving the reasons for the find
ings of the committee the report has
the following significant paragraph
Advocates of the United States gov
ernment digging the said Calumet Sag
channel have in the halls of congress
advanced the great possibilities of
such a water way for national COM
merce 1t might not make any differ
cree to the nation at large whether the
great commercial city at the entrance
way to the deep water way from Lake
Michigan to the gulf is where Chicago
now stands in the north end of Cook
county or down near the Indiana state
line and even over in Indiana, but it
ought TO be of some concern to the
people who are now being asked to
give s25.OO0,O00 more largely to de-
prive themselves of not only their
rightful sewage outlet but also their
commercial highway.
Double Tax Rates Not Sufficient.
In concluding the committee said
In view of the statement by the
trustees that the Calumet Sag and
Evanston channels will probably cost
at least 21,000000 which is S6.OOOO, 600
more than the estimated probable cost
by the engineers in discussing the pro-
posed channels, your committee thinks
there is good reason to doubt the
sufficiency of the estimated doubling
Of the tax rate to carry out the trus-
tees plans.
For that. among other reasons, we
are decisively opposed to the PROPOSE
tion of doubling the present rate of
sanitary district taxation"
The committee said that the reason
the sanitary trustees were proceeding
to construct the Calumet Sag channels
was because the party campaign plat
form upon which they were elected
imposed that obligation upon them and
they have no choice as to the merits
of the case.

One May Die.

riot started in the works OF the
Republic Iron & Steel company at East
Chicago this noon and before the po-
lice could quen the disturbance, sew
eral men were shot. one OF whom may
die. Several others were badly beaten
up and may be severely injured.
The trouble started when twenty-five
men. who had been discharged, broke
into the grounds occupied by the plant
and started to make trouble with oth-
ers who were employed there.
terrific riot followed in which a
hundred or more shots were fired 1t
is not known how many shots took
effect as several men, who may have
been slightly injured. succeeded In get
ting away
A riot call was sent in and all of the
available policemen were sent over to
the works. The small handful OF Of
fioers, however, was hardly sufficient
TO cope with the situation and for
time 1t was feared that a call for re-
Inducements from Hammond would
have TO be made.
Caused by Strikers.
According to the latest reports part
of the men from gang that had been
working in the plant quit, while about
as many remained at work. Those who
quit were disappointed that the whole
gang did not go out and after going
into one OF the East Chicago saloons
and imhibing rather freely, they de-
termined TO, go back and make things
interesting for the men who remained.
They had to break thrahgh the
fence in order TO get into the grounds
but they succeeded in entering them
and the fight followed.
1t was not long before a hundred
| men We're mixed up in the brawl and
the fight began to assume a serious
aspect. The East Chicago police made
timely appearance and 1t required
nearly half hour of lighting on the
part of the officers before the riot was
quelled.
In all sixteen men were arrested and
the officers are now out for the rest
of the gang that caused the trouble.

Jury Returns Unexpected
Verdict in Grand
Larceny Case.
CAUGHT WITH GOODS?
Assistant Prosecutor Takes a Hard
Slap at Men of His Own
Profession.

Those who have been following the
Peter Cleland case in the superior
court. which came to an end late yes
terday afternoon after being on trial
for two days, were surprised to hear
last night that the jury, after an hour
and halfs deliberation. found him
not guilty of the charge of grand lar
eeny.
Cleland, who was a former empioye
of the Chicago, Indiana & Southern
Railroad company. was arrested and
booked on three counts several months
ago for stealing, embezzling and re-
ceiving stolen goods in the shape of
700 pounds of wire, worth about S175.
The chain of evidence that was thrown
around him was far stronger appar-
emily than the seven hundred pounds
of wire that he was alleged to have
stolen, this even being admitted BY his
attorney, W. j. McAleer But it didn't
work SO strong did the assistant
prosecuting attorney in this case, ].
B. Peterson, bring out all the damag-
ing evidence that there was no doubt
in the minds of many who heard the
evidence that Cleland would be found
guilty.
Mr.. Peterson. who was assisted in
the case yesterday caused a little stir
lin the court room when he scored the
people in his own profession. The re-
marks We're made in the opening words
OF his closing argument. when he said:
The devil has not laid it into the
heart of man to steal but he has laid
it into his heart to lie, thereby cover
ing up the theft. He does not do this
personally, but hires a lawyer"
