SCANDAL IN POLICE

Superior Officer Under In
fiuence of Liquor, Starts
Lots of Trouble.
LOCAL OFFICER IS ON HAND
Drives Member of the Company s
Finest to His Home With
Strict Warning.

The Standard Steel settlement in the
southeastern part of the city was the
scene of turmoil again last Saturday
night although it was not a pay night
Fighting and general trouble prevailed
in many of the bar rooms and as re-
suit of one fight, there developed a
big scandal in the companys police
department. 1t is said that one of
the superior officers was badly under
the influence of liquor and that while
taking up" in one of the Polish sa-
looms, struck a laborer and started a
general fight. Later. as he was out
on the street making trauble, a Ham
mond policeman told him to move on.
He protested, but the local officer was
not to be bluffed and gave him a good
shaking and told him that If he did
not get home, he would place him un-
der arrest. Later. the same man dis
charged the best officer in his depart
ment because the man was not present
at the time of the fight. although the
officer in question was on his way to
the Hammond Jail with two offenders
Among the number arrested were Joe
Kobitzer and Paul Belustead, who
were charged with fighting. They
were fined SIS each.

tspecIal 20 LaIse Countr TtmesN

Valparaiso, Ind. Oct. 21-Valparaiso
has long been known as the city of
schools and churches" it is also pre-
eminently u city of clubs for there is
probably not another town of its size
in the west that has as large as number
OF these organizations as has this In
diana center OF education and culture.
Valparaiso is as interested in its
clubs as Hammond. East Chicago. In
diana Harbor and Gary are in their in
dustrial development. Everybody you
meet is a member OF one club or an
other. and great many are members
of several.
There is a Woman's club. the AS
sociated Mems clubs composed OF nine
smaller organizations of twenty mem
bers each. the Mathesis club for both
men and women, the Literary club. the
Music club. the Mendelsohn club. the
Choral club and the Conversationalists
club
There are other smaller orcaniza
tions which have various aims and
purposes as an excuse for their ex-
istance. but those mentioned above are
the most important and are fairly rep
resentative of the club life OF the city
At the present time the greatest in
terest IS in the growth and develop
ment OF the mems clubs of the city

WITH HIS FAMILY WILL
MOVE TO BELvEDERE, ILL.
VIII Occupy Pulpit at That City
Has Been Preaching in This City
for Past Six Years and Leaves
Many Warm Friends-No Success
sOr Appointed Yet.

Like thunder bolt out of a clear
sky came the news to the paris hioners
of the First Baptist church when Rev.
w. II. Jones, the popular pastor of
the congregation, announced his resig-
nation to take effect Nov TO- Mr..
Jones and his family Will go to Bel
videre, Ill, in answer to an urgent call
that he has received from there and
will make the change Nov. H.
Nobody in the congregation was pre-
pared to hear the news, there had not
even been rumor to that effect
among the members of the congrega-
tion and all were rocked in the conf
dence that Mr.. Jones might remain for
an indefinite period OF years since he
had been induced to remain last year
when he was called to Indianapolis.
Mr.. Jones's new charge at Belvidere
is a very desirable one from every
standpoint. The church is old and
we'll established and the pastor well
taken care of. simultaneously with
the offer to go to Belvedere Mr. Jones
received offers to go to various places
all being more or less desirable.
Mr.. Jones leaves Hammond with
regret on his own part and with that
of his congr egation and the community
at large. his working influence having
been felt through the entire city.
He has been In Hammond about six
years and in that time has greatly im-
proved the congregation in material
way, having consolidated the two Bap-
tist chureheJ that were in the begin
ming in Hammond. He has interested
himself esT ecially in behalf OF the
young peopl, and with untiring efforts
succeeded Il establishing the Baptist
Young Mems Athletic club and a sim
liar organization among the young
ladies of the congregation. In addi-
tion he succeeded in securing nice club
rooms for both organizations.
Mr.. Jones successor has not yet beer
appointed.

Local High School Boys
Roll Up a Score of 21
Points on Opponents.
THE VISITORS FAIL TO SCORE
Two of Hammond's Best Players Out
of Game on Account Of
Previous Injuries.

Another feather in the cap OF the
Hammond high school team and an
other contender put out of the running
for the county and Northern Indiana
championship. With confidence in
spired By the defeat of Michigan City
and the walk-away with Valparaiso,
the locals had no difficulty in rolling
up a good sized score on their smaller
opponents and at the finish Hammond
was 81 points to the good and Crown
Point was goose egged. This game
decides that Hammond is the champion
of the county and are still strong con-
tenders for the honors of this section
of the state. The games which they
have played this year are as follows:
At Michigan Clty-Hammond. 0; Michi-
gan City, 0; at Valparaiso-Hammond
81; Valparaiso. o; at Hammond-Ham-
mond, 5; Michigan City, 4 at Ham
mond-Hammond, 21; Crown Point, 0.
The county seat boys were defeated
yesterday by Hammond with two of
their players crippled which greatly
handicapped their efficiency. Ebert was
on the sick list and Summers had a
sore knee, which tended to slow up the
whole team
The whole team showed that at the
outset Of the game they had not broken
away from their tendency to sleep
during the first ten minutes of play and
only woke up when they found it abb
solutely necessary. Some day they Will
be punished for this habit by being
whipped before they wake up. Yes
terday, however, the injuries to the
two players afforded some excuse for
their slowness at the outset. The ends,
Quigg and Elliott, played their usual
star game. Kennedy was fast and re-
liable at half, and Bulanyi played his
usual game of consistent ball.
At no time were the opponents
dangerous anu on the contrary Ham
mond was always threatening Crown
Points goal. At the close of the game
they were within two yards of a touch
down and the whistle saved them from
a still more decisive defeat. Quigg
registered the first touchdown by
grabbing the ball on a tumble in the
first half and carrying it over for the
| first score. Hunter kicked goal. Two
touchdowns were then registered by
Hammond on straight ball. and pretty
drop kick by Hunter ended the scor-
ing.
The line up was as follows:

Handicap Running

The race was spiritedly contested. all
boats having made good time, consid-
ering the cold weather (Which is very
severe on gasoline launches), the last
boat having returned within 40 min
utes after the first boat arrived. Two
boats were placed out of the running,
having met with accidents on the way,
which caused them to lose too much
time to get into the running. Charles
Ogren and August Frank were the un-
fortunate ones, Some of the smaller
boats had walkaway, owing to not
being obliged to slacken any speed at
the chemical bridges, which are a
nightmare to all boat men. There are
several bad turns there and a large
boat must proceed very slowly to get
through without any mishaps.
