and when in his presence we are conscious
OF being in the influence Of superior force,
often gentle, nevertheless controlling.
Such was Judge wiswelrs influence. His
was a dominating mind, q controlling spirit
whether at the councils of lawyers, in the
directorate OF business enterprises, or within
the social circle.
What may we recall, then, as some Of the
qualities and powers Of greatness which he
manifested? His great mental powers were
ever at his command. He did not need to
make formal preparation to think. He was
not dreamer, but distinctively q man Of
thought. AS he walked and rode through the
streets Of this city he loved, he thought-he
thought Of her people, of their circumstances,
Of their comforts, Of their needs; he thought
of her waning industries, of her past and
present, and he hoped for and indeed almost
made plans for her future prosperity. 1t was
because Of this thinking that we SO often
found him fully alive to the needs and in
terests OF his fellow-citizens, and it was this
thinking OF them that made him ever ready
to give of his time and of his substance for
that which might benefit his fellow citizens.
He possessed to remarkable degree an
intellectual power to grasp question and
comprehend 1t SO as Immediately to restate 1t
with perfect clearness. His power OF analysis
was SO accurate and clear that his statement
Of proposition was equivalent almost to his
decision upon 1t. He was confident in his
opinion when formed. How often we have
seen this manifested in him as practicfng
attorney, His advice was always given I'M
hesitatiugly, and 1t satisfied his clients that
their rights could be secured, or convinced
them that their position was wrong. He

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, an. 15.-WHEAT-About tho
usual range of prices prevailed in the
wheat pit today. A half a cent fuctua-
ton for the day with pit traders and
professionals about the largest opera
tors. There was a little selling emanat
ed from Minneapolis, presumably profit
taking; this selling resulted in a de-
cline Of three-eights of a cent. later
the market regained the lost ground
and closed at about yesterdays prices
The news as a rule was more or less
disappointing, 1t was reported that the
cash situation in the northwest was not
nearly so strong as bullish traders led
the trade to believe. Reports from the
southwest indicate a little better feel
ing there for the cash article, sales of
$4,000 bushels being made at close to
the Chicago May price.
CORN-Strong early in sympathy
with the strength in the other grain
pits, but later eased off losing part
of the early advance. The trade in
corn is not large and the outside pub
lie seems TO ignore this market entirely
The cash situation is reported strong

ket for the better grades of corn at

KEEP STEPPING, SENATORS.

What's the use of being a state sem
ator, anyhow?
You may introduce a bill to fill in
lakes, dam streams. dredge creeks.
What's the use of being a state SEN
ator or representative, anyhow!
There is absolutely nothing doing.
No matter how serious you take your
self you have got to keep stepping
to devise some scheme through which
you can rise his head above the water.
The reform bodies and the federal au-
thorities seem to have beaten the solon
with the whiskers to everything that
is worth while. Washington controls
the Standard Oil and the beef trust,
the coal trust, the railroads and all
the Inspections that look good to the
inspector.
The nothing doing sign confronts
the state solon no matter which way
he turns. He looks the same to the
seller of railway tickets as any other
meek and lowly wayfarer who has
TO rattle his change before he mus
tiers up sufficient nerve to inform the
agent that he fain would travel.
The Incorruptable state statesman
is up against 1t. Whereas in the palmy
days of craftsmanship he could bal
ance his campaign expenses with
hardy ANIMALS and telegraph and ex-
press franks and still preserve immacu-
late his high collar and his lawn tie,
he has to join the old settlers union
and settle in common with the rest of
us who think that the course of poll
tics and strong drinks are parallel
The state legislator is now put to
it to invent a new reform that will
serve to put his authority to the front

WITH THE EDITORS.
The Ice Question.

1t may seem strange, in the middle
of winter to remind the people that
summer is coming, and with it the
eternal ice problem. But the Philadel-
phia Press tells us that W. N. Oler,
president of the American Ice Securities
company, recently said in New York
that the ice trust was already organic
ed for business and not for its
health" and that it would charge what
it pleased for ice. And then the Phila-
delphia Press proceeds to read the law
to Mr.. Oler. 1t says:
IF man or a corporation deals in
a commodity of public necessity, like
ice, the law limits it to a reasonable
profit. 1t cannot take advantage OF
the necessities of the community. 1t
cannot suppress competition by a COM
bination among dealers. These things
in the common law are all crimes in a
man or corporation producing, own
ing or selling a public necessity. Such
a dealer is in business under the law
not for business but in the last analy-
sis as to the price that can be charged
and the profit that can be made fol-
health not his own, but the public
weal"-Indianapo News.

BIG LAND DEAL is
CLOSED IN GARY.
1,4OO Lots Are Sold to Chicago syndi-
cate for 1915 ,OOO-Win Subdivide and
Sell at Retail.

There is considerable local interest
in a recent transaction in which a Chi
cago syndicate secured 1,4OO lots in
Gary. 1t has been the supposition that
the sale Of lots in Gary had been
bound around with such iron-clad con-
tracts that speculation would be i'm
possible.
The recent developments seem direct
ly opposed to this plan, for the Gary
Land company is evidently aware of
the fact that no syndicate would pur-
chase such a large number of lots ex-
cept for speculation.
If Gary is to become a fertile field
for land spectators local real estate
men are of the opinion that the sale of
lots will be facilitated They say,
however, that that kind of a boom is
rather a dangerous thing, as unduly
affecting the values or all the real es-
tate In the city, possibly to the extent
of initiating them beyond the danger
point.
The lots were sold last week to a
Chicago syndicate for $275.000 They
are in the vicinity of Broadway, along
the wabash Michigan Central and
Pennsylvania railroads. Deeds con-
veying the property to Walter S. Ross
of Chicago were filed for record al

in lieu of the proposed occupancy of
the present street by the proposed sta
ton.
The road owns the entire Clark

said to have picked up the few re-

Woman Accused of Murder Is Acquitted
After Three Trials-Home In la

LaPorte, Ind, Jan. 15.-Mrs. Anna
Mcpherson of Union Mills has received
information of the acquittal at Salena,
Kan, of her sister, Mrs. Caldwell, who
has been three times tried for the muir
der of her husband. Two juries dis
agreed and the third acquitted. The
liberated woman will now come to make
Mrs. Mcpherson visit and recuperate
from her long strain. Mrs. Mcpherson
in her anxiety over the prospect of a
death penalty in the case has suffered
severely in health, but now anticipates
a rapid recovery in the joyous reunion
about to occur. Caldwell, a wealthy
man, was killed with an ak one night
at his house when he had a large sum
of money in his possession and the wife
was accused Of the crime. The evil
dence was cfrcumstanti and the case
was fought hard on both sides through
three trials.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Jan. 15.-Sentiment on
the stock exchange this morning
seemed less bearish than at the close
last evening. Consequently the stock
market opened a shade higher through
out the list with the professional
traders inclined TO buy such stocks as
Atchison, ST. Paul, Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific, Reading, Copper and Bal
timore & Ohio for a turn at least.
The largest trade was conferred in
st. Paul which was bid UP on the shorts
from 1914 at the opening to 1861
There is undoubtedly an unwieldy
short interest in this stock, further
more the ability to borrow the stock
is not so easy as it has been in the
past 1t is believed in we'll informed
circles that the Standard oil crowd
are behind this manipulation in St.
Paul and they are using this issue as
market leader to Hquidate some Of
their other holdings.
Of the other higher priced shares,
Northwestern was the feature. 1t had
an extremely weak undertone from
the opening, which was around 1917,
selling down to 191 at the close. Dis
satisfaction is expressed in a great
many quarters over the possibilities
of an additional increase of stock
which viii be distributed in the way
Of rights to the present stockholders
at par. 1t is figured that the rights
will be worth something like twenty
dollars per share. This fact, however,
should only be a temporary bear argu-
ment on the Northwestern as it is the
| smallest capitalized road in the west.
The new issue of stock will be readily
absorbed by the believers in this prop
erty.
In the late afternoon, Copper showed
weak undertone based on a report
that it would issue additional stock
to take over some of the Ryan-Cole
copper mines to strengthen the COM
bine, thus preventing any serious break
in the metal market. The market on
the whole closed irregular, losses in
some quarters and gains in others.

Calumet Waits on Dunno.

The approaching settlement of the
Chicago traction problem is a matter
of considerable concern to the people
of Hammond and the rest OF the Calu-
met region for the reason that ever
since Mayor Dunno attempted to carry
out his immediate municipal owner
ship policy. capitalists have been re-
luctant about investing in new lines
or extensions.
The result has been that what or
dinarily would have been a remark
able development In the urban and
interurban transportation business, has
been brought to a stand still and there
is no hope of activity along this line
until Chicago either adopts municipal
ownership or cOmpels its dilly-dallying
mayor to accept some sort Of a COM
promise.
When there is finally a settlement
made it is safe to prophesy that the
Calumet region will be one Of the most
important objective points for inter
urban companies west of Chicago
Added to it's remarkable railway ia
cilities will be even more remarkable
facilities for short distance passenger
hauls. Hammond will replace Indian
apolis as the interurban center of the
state.

Especial to Lake County Times).

Whiting, Ind, Jan. 15.-John Kelley
who was arrested by Constable Charles
Miller for securing money under false
pretenses, was given a hearing Satur-
day and placed under $1,000 bonds, to
appear today. The bonds were fur
nished by James Donegan and Tom
O'Conneu.
Kelley secured 500 from Thomas
Wiley, who keeps saloon at Roby,
saying he was sent to borrow it for
Caleb L. Dougherty, foreman of the
glucose works at Roby. Mr.. Wiley
not questioning the mans honesty, gave
him the sum, and when he found that
Mr. Dougherty knew nothing of the
money, a search was begun for Reilley.
When arrested Kelley admitted he had
spent it for his own use.
