ARE GIVEN STIFF FINES

Two Hammond boys were heavily
fined yesterday afternoon in Judge
Hunters court at Burnham for disor-
derly conduct One was Gene Davis
well known in this city, although but
a young man of but 25 years of age.
He was caught in a street brawl with
several other young men and was the
only one whom they were able to ar
rest. After he was lodged in Jail he
was unable to get any bail and was
confined for more than forty eight
hours. His fine was SO and costs,
which amounts to about $17.
For the same offense George T. Ka-
letz was arrested by Officers Johnson
and Okroy. and the judge handed it,
to him good and plenty. His fine was
made in the sum of $25 and costs,
amounting to $50. Davis was able to
pay his fine but Kaletz was not. That
West Hammond will be a poor place
for a rowdy while Judge Hunter is try

WHO WILL SUCCEED

Several West Hammond
Men Covet the Plum
Speculation Rife.
WANT A MAN OF THEIR OWN
This is No Complaint Against Hunter
Of Burnham, But He is IN
convenient.

There Is considerable speculation in
West Hammond as to the probable sue
cessor Of Justice John J. Flynn. Among
those who are the most prominent con-
tenders for the honor are Walter Pie
tras, Frank Green, Adam Stackels and
Adam Stokowitch. 1t has not been de-
cided just when the election will take
place. and while it is possible the
matter will be held over until the reg
ular election In April. 1t is not probable
At the present time all cases are
taken to Burnham, and though this ar
rangement is satisfactory for the pres
ent, 1t is inconvenient. Although there
is no complaint against Justice Hunter
the people across the line are anxious
to see new man in the job who will
more properly belong to them. It has
been practically decided that a spec
ial election Will be held not later than
thirty days from date, and the exact
date will be decided upon by the village
board at their next regular meeting.
which will be held next Thursday.
From all appearances at the PRES
ent time it looks as IL there would be
something of a fight for the plum, as
none OF the candidates will give up
without a struggle. No one has
thought of entering the race for the
village judgeship heretofore. as the
late Justice Flynn was always con-
ceded the position.

Conformance With Plan of Clearing
House Banks and Will Safeguard
Cash Reserves Temporarily.

In conforming with a plan Of the
Clearing House bank of Chicago. the
United States Steel company will nav
their employees in checks Of small de-
nomination at South Chicago, Buf1nr-
ton and Gary. The following letter
has been issued by the president e. J.
Burlington. which is self explanatory:
Chicago, November s, 1907
To the Employees of the Indiana Steel
Company and Gary Land Company:
The sudden and unexpected with
drawal Of currency from general cir
culation in the cities of New York,
Chicago and elsewhere, has interferred
generally with the usual payments, at
this date, of pay checks covering pay
rolls. Such interference especially ef
fects the larger employees of labor,
including the Indiana Steel company
and the Gary Land company. which
Notwithstanding they have large bank
deposits. cannot obtain currency in
amounts sufficient to make payable in
cash the entire pay rolls now coming
due. For this reason the companies
have decided to meet the pay rolls,
next due, by the issuance of checks
for approximately twenty per cent OF
the wages of each employe payable in
currency through the South Chicago
Savings bank or at the office of the
Indiana Steel company at Gary, Ind.
and the remainder of wages, now due,
in checks OF the companies in small
denominations, payable through the
Chicago clearing house. These checks
of these companies against ample de-
posits and payable through the Chi
cago clearing house, undoubtedly will
be regarded and received as cash by
grocers, butchers and other mer-
chants generally, in the payment for
purchase or for accounts due, and they
will be accepted also for deposit by any
bank in the city.
It is believed that little inconveni-
enSe will result to any employe from
this expedient, adopted not because of
lack of funds but solely because of the
present inability of the banks to sup
ply currency. The temporary emerg
ency, It is trusted. will soon be re-
lieved by the provisions already made
to secure gold and other currency from
abroad and from the government and
also, through additional issues OF Ma
tional bank notes pursuant to the Ma
tional Banking Act.
1t is hoped and believed that the
employees generally Will recognize and
appreciate the effort of the companies
TO meet the unexpected conditions aris-
ing from the present lack of currency
