some OF THE MORE
PROMINENT MEASURES

Olympia, Jan. 14.-As members Of
both houses Of the legislature have ar
rived it has become more and more
apparent that they have made up their
minds pretty fully as to what consti-
tutes the most important legislation to
be introduced this session. and that in
the front rank is the direct primary
bill. The onlv question in the minds
ofmany of the delegates is the form Of
the direct primary bill to be enacted,
and all profess willingness and de-
sire to vote for the strongest bill Of the
kind that can be framed.
Redistricting State
On the question Of redistricting the
state there is not the same unanimity
of intention. In the main it is the
expressed desire Of the Republicans to
obey the plank of the state platform
which pledges the members to vote
for bill dividing the state into con-
gressional DISTRICTS, but the manner
Of making the triangular division is q
question not easy of solution.
Revenue and taxation will be well
TO the 1rOnC as q topic OF leg16IaClOn,
and from what can be learned the leg
islature will be liberal in the treat
ment of state institutions, particular
~ the penal, reform and asylums for
the insane. The Alaska Yukon-P aci-
fic exposition appropriation will be
liberal, though none of the members
interviewed outside of the King county
delegation, just what he is in favor
of dong for the big exposition to be
held in Seattle in 1909.
Few Have Bills Prepared
A feature Of the lobby gossip il tho
few senators and representatives who
have arrived with bills prepared and
ready to introduce. In former years
the big interests Of the state, such az
lumber, fish, logging, dairying, farm
ing, mining, railroads, and the many
Hobbies that have been maintained,
have been prepared for the opening of
the session with bills covering their
several wants, but this year apparently
very few measures are ready for intro
ductiOn.

WHO STOLE THE DUCKS?

Attorney George Sheerer and George
Drackert. who. aside from the busi-
ness prominence that they hold in
Hammond, have Established for them
selves a reputation as huntsman, are
today very much wrought up over an
outrage that has been perpetrated upon
their craftsmanship.
Ever since yesterday evening they
have peered into the faces of men
whom they met on the streets in order
to find the guilty parties who deliber-
ately and with malice aforethought. as

Question Concerning Vel
fare of Young Men
is Solved.
4 GYMNASIUM IS The ANSWER
Trustees4ofsM. E. Church and Broth
erhood of St. Paul Advancing
Proposition.

Few semi-public movements in Ham
mond have been received with such
enthusiasm by the class of people whom
1t affects as has that inaugurated by
the trustees of the Methodist church.
who are working in conjunction with
the Brotherhood of st. Paul for gym
nausium.
A short time ago the trustees of the
church sold the old edifce to James
Bradford for the sum of 1895 and turn
ed the sum over to the Brotherhood of
ST. Paul with the provision that that
body use the money to turn the base
ment of the new church into a gymnas-
ium for young men.
The proposition was readily accepted
and the brotherhood is now aiming to
raise an additional $500 through mem
barship fees to complete and furnish
the gym" The plans thus far include
a running track, parallel bars, dumb
bells, trapeze, and other paraphernalia,
and also two shower baths.
The proposed gymnasium will be the
result of an earnest discussion in which
the leaders of the church have in
dulged in repeated, to-wit: wv here
shall our young men spend their even
ngs?"
When the basement was proposed as
place of entertainment the plan was
enthusiastically received. Young men
all over town in lieu of the absence
of Y NJ. c. a. here. have signified
their intention of joining, and the
rates are such that many of those at
tending the high school are anxious.
1t is the plan of the organizers to begin
the renovation OF the basement as soon
as possible.
The admission fees have been fixed
as follows:
l. If paid in advance monthly. so
cents per month.
2. If paid in advance annually, $500
per year.
s. To members of the Brotherhood
of St. Paul. If paid in advance month

VOTE FOR SCHOOL
BONDS IS LIGHT
Believed About 15 Per Cent
of the Voters Exercised
Right of Franchise.
THINK MEASURE WILL CARRY
Most Who Cast Ballots Thought to
Favor Issue-Result Known
at 5 p. m.

1t is figured that the vote cast at to-
days special election on the bond is
sue for the Wallace school was about
15 per cent of the normal vote of the
city. In this estimate the returns of
the election last fall, when $500 votes
were cast is used as basis Of com
parison.
There is no doubt in the mind of the
election commissioners and the precinct
inspectors that the bond issue has been
carried since 1t seemed that only those
in favor of it got out to cast their
ballot.
In the second precinct of the second
ward, thirty-nine ballots had been cast
out of a possible total of 322. This is
one of the largest precincts in the
city and the per cent there is thought
to be in the highest
In the first precinct of the third
ward only nine votes were cast out of
an average of seventy. In the first pre-
cinct of the fifth ward only sixteen
votes were cast out of an average OF
2sO
The election commissioners and in
spectors expect easy work in count
ing the ballots on account of the small
number and 1t will be possible for the
commissioners to give out the results
by o'clock in the city hall.
The polls were open from 6 O'Clock
this morning until this afternoon
Most of the votes came in between II
and o'clock.

.GILLETT IS A CANDIDATE
Jurist's Friends Deny He
is Out of Supreme
Bench Race.

There has been a story circulated
in the papers throughout this region
to the effect that Judge John H. Gillett
of the state supreme bench will not be
candidate for the Office for another
term.
While Judge Ginett has not an
nounced his candidacy. as yet. his
friends scout the idea of his retiring
from the race and are authority for
the statement that he will not only
be ''in the running" when the time
comes, but will stay in the race until
he is either reelected or defeated.
Judge Gillett's career is pointed to
by his Hammond friends with pride
and all over the state he is looked
upon as one Of the leaders in his pro-
fession. Many declare he is the
strongest candidate in the field and
his friends declare they viii stand by
him Loyalty until he IS elected to sue
ceed himself If he decides to run as
they maintain he is sure to do.
1t is now definitely known that
Quincy Myers OF Logansport win be
a candidate. but outside Of that there
have been no announcements
Judge Tuthill is said TO have aspira-
tions TO sit on the Indianapolis bench
but he has not yet decided TO become
a candidate and if he does. his an
nouncement viii not be made until
later.

The charge of bigamy which was
made against Walter Osler. was dis
missed this morning in the local police
court. and a charge of deserting his
children without caring for their sup
port was placed against him. The state

IN a common law marriage the first
charge could not be made. The latest
charge carries with it a penitentiary
sentence. Osler was rearrested by
Bailin Shine.
The second wife Of the man. Mrs.
Nellie Osler. of LaPaz. Ind. made the
complaint and was present in court

little to support the children. and only
gave her carcfarc back to her own
home Since that time she has been
working and supporting the children

HANLY TO STOP BOXING
Indiana Executive Starts
Action Which May Result
in Death of the Game.
Especial to Lake County Times1

Especial to Lake County TimeS.)
indianapolis. Ind, Nov. THAT Gov
Hanly contemplates action to stop
boxing in Indiana is made evident
in a request sent to Attorney Cen
eral James Bingham for an opinion
on the legal status of a prize fight
and for a definition of terms. Attorney
General Bingham submitted his opin-
ion to the governor today. He holds
that boxing matches are prize fights
and that they are contrary to the
statute.
Gov. Hanly would not discuss the
opinion He said he received it, but
had not read 1t, and that he could
not state just what action he would
take. However. in his letter TO the
attorney general asking for the opfn-
ion, Gov. Hanly said: 1T is import
ant that some action be taken by
executive authority to put an end to
the practice referred to If there is any
statute covering the ofTense."
Determination on the part of the
executive to put a stop to prize fight
ing was brought about by the min
listers who visited the Auditorium Wed

plants from other parts of the state

LAPORTE GAME
IS CALLED OFF
Wet Field Causes Much
Heralded Contest to be
Postponed.
LOCAL BOYS NOT DISPLEASED
Opportunity Thus Afforded for a Few
of Wounded Hammond Lads
to Recover.

The game for the championship of
Northern Indiana which was to have
been played with LaPorte today was
called off on account of the wet field
at that place. Manager Hill received
q telegram from the manager of the La
Porte aggregation just as the Ham
mond boys were leaving to catch the
train at South Chicago, not to come
as it would be impossible to play with
the field in such a bad condition. The
telegram stated that the field was COW
cred with water and that it could not be
be gotten into condition before the
game as it was still raining in LaPorte.
The delay was one of the best things
that could have happened to the team.
Although they stood a good chance to
beat their rival out for the honors,
the team was not in the best of shape
as a number of the regulars were
suffering from injuries that will prob
ably heal in time to let them get into
the game by next Saturday or when
ever the game will be played. Even If
the substitutes are used next Saturday
they will be better drilled and in better
condition to meet their rivals than
they would have been today.
The entire team VIII witness the
Crown Point East Chicago game today
at East Chicago and will no doubt
benefit by seeing 1t. Instead of playing
on a wet slippery field where they are
liable TO injury from falling and where
the relative strength of the two teams
could not be accurately ascertained an
opportunity will be given for their
hospital list or at least part of # to
recover and the team be in far better
&C ndition than at present.
