1T is evident to me- said Judge

are nothing more than places to de-
bauch young and innocent girls. little
girls who are nothing more than chill
dren. They are enticed into the places
under the pretense of being given cam
dy. 1t is a pity that places of this
character should be allowed to exist.
1t is especially too bad in this case,
where it has been shown that the de-
PENDANT has been accused before of act
ing indecently toward young girls. 1t
is my opinion that these so-called ice
cream parlors and fruit and candy
stores cannot be watched too closely
by the police. 1t is evident, also, that
parents of young girls should keep a
closer watch on their daughters"

Forgers Attempt to Work
Hammond Tradesmen for
Small Amounts.
DEAF AND Dumb GAME
Afflicted" Man Tries to Cash Check
With Cashier Belman's Name

It is more than suspicion that an
organized band of petty forgers is
making its headquarters around Ham
mond
Last week. two fellows armed with
checks worked an easy bame on Man
ager Steglitz. Of the Hub clothing store
in North Holman street and succeeded
in getting away with about $50 OF his
money. The same men tried TO get a
check cashed at Marks clothing store
in State street but when the proprietor
stepped out TO ascertain whether or
not the check was genuine. the fell
lows made their escape leaving be-
hind them a check for $40. made out
to the order Of James Howard and
signed with Willard J. Thompson's
name.
The same game was tried at the
White House at Wolf Lake. but be-
lieving the check was a forgery, the
bartender of the saloon refused it.
At Roby 1t is reported that two styI-
shly dressed fellows presented checks
to the amount OF over $50 and when
tho bartender called up the person
whose name was signed to them both
caught a car saying never mind we

years old went into Walkers saloon in

lcaling up the police told them about
it and asked them to look after the
4 fellow who is described as being about
4 five feet six inches tail and Weighing
about $50 pounds. He was dressed in
a light suit and wore a dark cap; ne
is said to have had sandy moustache
but it is thought that this was false.
While calling up the police the fellow
stepped out by a side door and made
his escape Chief Rinbach notified all
the officers to look for him but he was
not seen last night
From the way forged checks have
been coming TO light lately, it looks
as though there was an organized band

Rimbach and his men are determined
to ferret out their headquarters and
they stand a good chance of doing SO,
although being handicapped for the
want of enough men.

eyes open for the men that presented
checks in Hammond last week and If
these fellows ever show up here they
will be nabbed in minute, as the po-
lice have a correct description of them.

HAMMOND FOR NE"

western states and has come back to
Hammond convinced that the Calu-

1t is the industrial hub of the United
States and of course that makes it the

Mr. Meyn went southwest to San
Antonio and Los Angeles and from
there to convalescent Frisco and finally
to the far famed empire of the north
west where such cities as Seat

grow so marveIously. Yet he returns
to Hammond content to cast his for

the rest Of his days.

WILL ASK $4,000
FOR COURT HOUSE
Special Meeting Of County
Council to Consider the
Appropriation.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

Crown Point, Feb. 27.-Auditor John
son has called a special meeting of the
county council to convene here on
Thursday, March I, to consider an ap-
preparation for remodeling the court
house. The commissioners have de-
cided that it will require about $4,000
to carry out the architects plans, but
in order to provide for all contingent
cies they have decided to ask for $780,
900. 1t will require the sanction of five
out of the seven councilman to pass
the appropriation, but it is thought
little opposition will be developed. The
need of larger quarters for the trans
action of the county's business is so
great that relief of some kind must
be obtained as speedily as possible
The truth of the matter is that the
charging of the court house has been
delayed too long already and in the
opinion Of most residents of the coun-
ty the mater should have been
attended to two years ago. Import
ant and frequently used records are
now stored in tht basement OF the
court house, where they are unsafe,
and hard TO get at, and unless a better
place Is provided for them, are la
BILE to be lost. This would result in
great loss to the county and might
cause endless confusion. Hardly a day
passes in some department of the court
house that a trip TO the basement in
search of some record is not required.

ROCK BABY WHILE
DOING THE WASHING
If Huebner's Invention Pans
Women Will Regard Fam
lily Wash as Privilege,

Joseph Huebner Of West Hammond
washing machine that looks like a
rather complicated affair but which
upon closer investigation is seen to be
very novel
The machine is tub shaped and on
top is a rocking chair fixed in such a
way that in doing a common washing
all the operator has to do is simply to
sit down and rock away for a few
minutes and the washing is done. Mr.
Huebner, who is a cooper by trade, has
been working on the invention for the
last three months and at last has it
completed. After giving it several
trials, he is satisfied that the machine
will come up to his expectations.
Through his attorney, G. Aliss, of
Chicago he has filed an application for
a patent on the machine and expects
to secure 1t by the last Of the month,
he has demonstrated the machine to
stegel Cooper & Co of Chicago and they
we're very much impressed with it and
gave him a handsome royalty but he
refused this as he believes he can make
I q better thing out of 1t by doing the
work himself. With this fact in view
/ he intends securing a location in Ham
mond and erecting a building for the
purpose Of manufacturing the new ma
chine which will be called the New
Rocking Chair Washing Machine" He
intends starting the factory by the flrst
Of April and will employ about twenty
men to start with, increasing as the
business grows.
Mr.. Huebner is yet undecided wheth.
er he will form a stock company ol
handle the work himself.

special to Lake County TImes).

whiting, Feb. 27.-W. Jacobson, well
known here as the wholesale pretzeI
dealer, was arrested yesterday by Chief
Lawler for cruelty to animals. It Will
be remembered that on Monday morn
ing when Jacobsen went to the barn
in the rear of the Reeht store in East
10th street to feed his horses, he
found one horse dead and the other
badly injured. Further developments
in the case have proved that Jacobsen
went TO Chicago and was gone for
three days, during which time the ami
mails were without anything to eat or
drink In their suffering they kicked
until at last the floor gave away and
one went into the sewer which run
under the barn. and the other was
partly through when they were dis
covered. It was necessary to call the
fire department. who raised the ami
mails and it is thought saved the life
Of one Of them. The affair has caused
no little amount of excitement here

Lechruski, board with John Kovacich
and as their board bill was getting
bigger every day and the prospects OF
paying it became less, the two men got
their heads together.
Hoizer remembered that he had 81
in the bank and was the possessor of
a fine leather bank book. He took the
book and tore out the insides and then
went to the bank and requested that
the banker give him new one. He
put the old one IN his pocket and took
the new one away with him.
Shortly afterward he went TO the
bank and withdrew the 81 he had de-
posted and turned in his new bank
book. He then went back to his room
and put the pages of the old bank
book back in the cover and raised the
| 81 deposit to 500.
He then went to his landlord and
stated that he had 500 In the bank
with which he would soon pay his and
his friends board bill. and as proof
Of his statement he exhibited the bo,
gus bank book and offered it as Sc.
curity. When he saw that the schem,
was about to work he thought h,
would work IT for all he could and 81
he asked Kovacich If he would lene

Americans Would Buy Great papaI


 Americans Would Buy Great PapaI
 Way From Mediterranean to Rome.
 Soon there will be no 'prisoner of the Vatican" if the plan of Martin Ma loney of Philadelphia, in association with Richard c. Kerens of St. Louis and other wealthy ArnericSns, is car ried out, says tho New York Herald. It is Mir. Maloney's idea to purchase strip of land about sixty-five miles | long and averaging 150 feet in width from the papaf residence in Rome to Civita Vecchia, small port on the Mediterranean. At the end of this thoroughfare, facing the sea, is to be built palace for the pope which will afford him a change from the house in which he spends his life.
 Since the papacy was shorn of its temporal power by Garibaldi the holy father hls limited hls residence to tho Vatican. Tn the palace and the sur rounding gardens he spends his life. Leo XIII. established the precedent. which Is binding upon his successors, by refusing to leave the palace boun- daries upon any pretext.
 Under the canonical law this act meant that the head of the church felt that 1t was essential that he remain upon church territory. Thus he be- came the self made "prlsoner of the Vatican" In the event of the con struction of the papal way he would be afforded m opportunity to extend his residence without impairing the precedent.
 Mir Maloney outlined his plan at a breakfast given by Cardinal Satolli to several American friends late in April in Rome Besides MT. MaIoney, who is very wealthy, Rochard c. Kerens and other wealthy men were present and expressed decided approval of the plan.
 When Mir. Kerens, who has returned from abroad was seen at the Holland House, New York, the other night he said:
 "This is a matter that I prefer to have MT Maloney talk about. It is entirely his plan, and 1t is very near and dear to him. He has dellberated over 1t for several years, and he pur- poses to carry 1t to a successful issue. He is man who is not easily daunted, and so I have no doubt he will attain results"
 To enable the project to be carried out 1t will be necessary, after having obtained the consent of the Italian gov ernment, to lay the matter before The Hague tribunal,
