CARL ". R|DDICK
IS INDICATED
Editor Politician Acquitted
of Serious Charges
Well Known Here.

Winamac, Ind, May 14.-Carl w.
Riddick, editor of the Winamac Repub-
lican and secretary fthe republican
state committee, was acquitted yester-
day in the Pulaski circuit court on three
charges, including perjury and making
false statement to secure mortgage ex-
emption. Riddick and friends allege
that his arrest and prosecution were
brought about for political purposes.
The trial was not without sensation
al features. An attempt was made to
disqualify the regular judge by calling
him. as witness for the state. The
Judge rebuked this effort and declared
he knew nothing Of the facts in the
case; that he had heard there was
politics in it: that the defendant had a
constitutional right to be tried by the
regular court officers, and that he
would proceed to trial, giving warning
that there must be no effort TO prosti-
titude the court to serve political spite.
The courtroom was filled with politi-
clans from over the county. and the
trial created much excitement after ac-
quittal. Mr. Riddick held an informal
reception at his newspaper office, where
political and personal friends from
over the county called and congratu-
lated him on his victory. Riddick was
defended by Attorney John NJ. Spangler
the well known republican lawyer of
Winamac, Ind, and Attorney A. Sleis
of South Bend.
Riddick is we'll known throughout
Lake and Porter counties being chair
man of the state republican committee.

LeGrand t. Meyer Files Intervening
Petition Against Chicago Terminal
to Make it AnswerabIe to City In
Jahnke Case.

City Attorney LeGrand T. Meyer has
not been inactive during the pending
of his motion for a new trial in the
Janke case at Michigan City. On the
contrary he is endeavoring to place the
city on the fence. by making the Chi
cago Terminal railroad liable for any
damages found against the city for
negligence in the maintenance of it's
street crossing. Mr.. Meyer contends
that II the city IS responsible for the
safety OF the people, the railroad is.
in turn, made answerable TO the city
IN cases of this character.
It was expected that the Terminal
railroad, being now declared bank
rupt. would be sold yesterday, but ow-
ing to a delay, the sale was postponed
until today, giving Attorney Meyer an
opportunity to file an intervening pc
tition to make the receiver or the pur-
chaser of the property liable for the
damages.
Mr.. Meyer stated this morning that
he was leaving no stone unturned in
his effort to reverse the decision
against the city and if that was found
impossible to shift the responsibility
upon the railroad and make them stand
good for the damages.

ALL QUIET IN
WEST HAMMOND
Police Receive Tip That
Dive is Operating But
Find it False.

All of the West State street dives
were deserted by their inmates and
proprietors last night when a squad
of police passed through them for in
spection. The doors had been left un-
locked so that any one who wished
could go through them.
This morning a member of the po-
lice force said: Il do not anticipate
any more trouble as an outcome of the
decisions rendered yesterday by Justice
Flynn"
Harrington, who formerly ran the
"Sfiver Dollar vestibale" and NO.
20" State street is quoted as saying
that he was going to leave the village
the last of the week as he had pur-
chased a dive in South Chicago along
Harbor avenue.
Lewis Baxter, proprietor of the Mon
pariel,' has announced his intentions
of going back to Chicago.
A rumor was started last night to
the effect that one of the dives was
running the same as ever, but this was
found to be without foundation when
three members of the police force
swooped down upon the dive and failed
to find any girls or any liquors in the
place.
Every one of the girls who We're
formerly inmates of the dives on State
street have decamped, some of them
not even stopping to get their costumes
which cen be seen hanging in the
rooms.
Most of the girls who were ordered
out of West Hammond are now staying
in Hammond, but whether it is their in
tentions to stay here permanently is
/ not known.
The police are being congratulated
every day by enthusiastic citizens who
| are glad to see the dives gone.

PLAN MILES
Of PAVEMENT
East Chicago to be Best
Paved City in North
ern Indiana.
WORK ON ESTIMATES
Council Instructs Engineer to Figure
On Cost of Important
Inprosments.

If the program which was begun at
the meeting of the East Chicago city
council last evening is carried out
that city will be the best paved city
of its size in Northern Indiana.
In all, ten streets are to be paved
and the city engineer is now working
on the estimates. 1t would be i'm
possible to state how much these i'm
provements will cost, but it will be
somewhere between quarter and
half million of dollars.
The plan to pave these streets has
not been discussed to any great extent
at recent meetings, and so the resolu
tion which authorizes the city engi-
neer to make the estimates of the cost
was considerable of a surprise.
The streets which it is planned to
pave are nearly all on the south side
of the city and will improve the looks
of this neighborhood considerably.
List of Streets Affected.
Barring avenue is to be paved from
One Hundred and Forty-eighth to One
Hundred and Fifty-fir street, North
cote avenue is to be paved from One
Hundred and Forty first street to One
Hundred and Fifty-first street, Homer
lee avenue from One Hundred and For
