To Cd AFTER
STANDARD OIL
Assessor To Appear Against
Corporation Before Equal
ization Board.
THIS MEETS IN JUNE
Warns Purchasers of Houses From
Oil Company They VIII Be
Liable for Taxes.

William E. Black. the county asses
sor made a statement this afternoon
to the effect that proceedings would
be instituted soon against the Stand
ard Oil company to recover the back
taxes on the eighty-one houses owned
by the Standard oil company, located
in New York avenue, Ohio street and
Pennsylvania avenue.
For thel asst four years the stand
ard Oil company has lodged taxes on
these houses. which represent the inn
provements on neantyz twenty acres of
land. The back taxes amount to
$4,000
Mr., Black also went on to say that
the Standard Oil company's object in
putting the houses on the market.
which they have done recently, is to
avoid paying the taxes. and if any of
these houses are bought by unsus-
pecting victims, the purchaser will be
liable for the four years delinquent
taxes.
Mr.. Black will appear before the
board of equalization in June and will
make known the real facts of the case
and then will start proceedings against
them in the Lake county courts.
When asked whether or not the
county would try to collect the back
taxes on Standard Oil company prop
erty Mr.. Black said: We'll, 1 think
we will. I know that when the board
of equalization meets in Crown Point
in June 1 shall appear before them and
will try and get the board to do so
and 1 think it will be done"
If the county should be successful
in such a suit against the STANDARD
Oil company 1T means that the Stand
! ard Oil company will turn over thou
sands of dollars to the county.
The board of equalization will meet
June and by the 9Th it is expected
that something will be done. One
thing Mr.. Black wishes to impress upor
the public is, that if anyone buys any
of these houses that the Standard OF
company are offering at a very Low
rate the buyers will be held liable 70

light before the public and we take this
occasion TO place not only ourselves
right but to place Mr.. Boone right be-
fore the public. and TO say that the
article was unfortunate. and Mr..
Boone's conduct in the matter did not
justify the reports sent out concerning
him.
The investigation that THE LAKE
COUNTY TINES has made with refer
enct TO the alleged hold-up case az
Gary which was the subject of the arti-
Gle referred to reveals that all the evil
dence that the state could possibly
gather was fully submitted to Judge
Fitzgerald. before whom the case was
heard and the court decided without
hesitation that the evidence was in
sufficient to hold the defendants.

istering the law belongs to the courts.
Judges of courts should be men of high
character, of fearless purpose, of I'M
questioned probity. The rights OF the
weakest and the humbIest citizen of
the land should be fully guarded and
protected in the administration of their
important functions as the rights of
the wealthiest and most powerful citi-
zen. Justice should be administered to
all alike, without feaF or favor.
1t is the hope that this beautiful tenn
pie win be the seat of pure and honest
administration and that 1t will come
to be the mecca Of all citizens within

protection in their honest legal rights

1t was with these inspiring words that
Congressman E. D. Crumpacker closed
his address this afternoon before the
splendid assembly of Hammond citizens
that gathered in the court house to
hear him speak.
The speech was made in the magni-
fcent federal court room that all af-

compliments from those who have seen
it. The surroundings were well suited

Richard Mullen Victim of Daring
Robbery After Midnight
Marauders Elude Police.
Especial to Lake County Tinae..,

South Chicago, April 25.-PoIice Of
the South Chicago station believe that
Guy Van Tassel. who has been sought
since Nov. 10 last, for the murder Of
Luke Fitzpatrick, a policeman I'm tho
Woodlawn sation. formerly of South
Chicago. is one OF a pair of hold-up
men who robbed Richard Mullen. pro-
prietor of saloon at 900 Erie ave.
nue., OF 1854 at 1920 last night. A
dragnet has been thrown out and
every available officer in the station
has been put to work on the case. Null
len was alone in the saloon when the
hold-up men entered last night. He
was engaged in feeding a dog on the
floor of the barroom in front of the
bar. when the door suddenly opened
and two men entered. The foremost
man advanced rapidly to where Mullen
was standing. and thrust two guns in
his face, commanding him sharply to
throw up his hands, and accompanying
his command with threats and menaces.
Robbers Secure SI54.
Mullen obeyed with alacrity, and the
other man went behind the bar and
emptied the cash register. Then he
searched Mullen's pockets. from which
he secured $40, the total sum taken
being 1854. The men then forced Null
len to walk to the rear of the bar
room into small passageway leading
to a rear room, and ordered him to re-
main there on peril of having his head
blown off. They then made a hurried
exit.
Robbers Almost Captured.
Within minute after the men left,
Clayton Brading, star twirler of tho
/ South Chicago baseball team and an
aIl-around athlete. entered the saloon
and was told by Mullen of the hold-up.
He started after the robbers and had
I, them in sight when he remembered
that he was unarmed. Hurrying back
to the saloon he secured a revolver
and hurried after the men again, this
time with so much speed that he was
stopped by a police officer who thought
from the hurry he was in and the
presence of a gun in his hand that he
was a hold-up artist himself
This delay probably gave the men
the chance to make a complete get
away, for they have not been seen
since. except possibly by officer James
Murray. who patrols a beat in Wind
sor Park and who reports having seen
two men walking hurriedly northward
in Railroad avenue at Seventy fifth
street shortly after / a. m, and who on
being stopped explained that they were
going home.

Made Bad Mistake in Getting Cab

Question Before.

The faith of one young son of sunny
Greece, in loves young dream, and the
temperament of Hammond girls, was
rudely shattered this morning, when
with matrimonial intentions tucked
away in his heart, he appeared at her
shrine only to receive the marble
heart. The unfortunate suitor was
Pete" Silas, the well-known local boot
black, and the object of his devotions
was a petite and charming chamber
maid in a local hotel.
Pete" came to this country some
time ago, and after establishing a lit
tie stand. worked with might and main
and soon had little bank account to
show for his frugality and persever-
ance. With the bank account came
the longing for a little home of his
own, and all that went to make the
American homes of Hammond so
cheerful. AS there were few lassies of
his own race to chose from. his heart
fell to the little chambermaid and for
a time he worshipped her at a dis
tance. The boys who patronized his
shop and to whom he told his troubles
advised him to marry right away, and
he even received an offer of a free
marriage service at the hands of Judge

The Hour Draws Night.

Thinking over the proposition, Pete"
decided the time was at hand, and so
this morning he sailed forth, dressed
in his best Sunday suit, and went so
far. it is said, as to order a carriage
and a big bouquet of choice flowers.
When he arrived at the domocile of
his hearts desire, he announced his in
tentions, and told the young lady that
everything was in readiness for the
coming festivities. The bootblack stand
had been locked for the day and 1t was
to be one grand carnival. 1t was here
that loves young dream was blighted
The girl refused to marry him and
would have nothing to do with him, and
the fact kind of stunned Pete. For
a moment he could scarcely believe it.
Then he started to expostulate, and as
result he grew excited. The pro-
prietor turned Pete over to the police
and he was given a good talking to
at the police station. AS a result of
his rejection at the hands of the fair
one, he has decided to look up a bride
of his own amcrous race who can un-
derstand the affections of a real lover.
