CHAT PEOPLE AND EVENTS.



The spring recitals at the College
have introduced a number OF capable
young pianists. and on Thursday eve
ming last added to the list an inter
asting event in the recital OF Miss
Ethel Jackson. The program gave
variety and charm and was artfsticaI-
" presented throughout. The beau
tiful symphonic etudes of Schumann
found sympathetic Interpretation, the
Chopin selections were given with
aDpreciative spirit, and the young mu-
sician's versatility was, perhaps, best
displayed in the contrast offered be-
tween the two composers, whose work
differed largely in nature and char
acter. The GODDARD Concerto with

STREET RIPPED
UP ONCE MORE
Nc Govern Company Making
Nice Patchwork Out of
South Holman Street.

The South Holman street paving is
still the bane of the residents of that
district. The McGovern company is
again at it's periodical task of tearing
up the brick paving in the middle of
the street car tracks and replacing
the bricks with those which have not
been Clipped by the wear and tear
which was given them before they were
filled with asphalt.
1t is understood that the McGovern
company is making a desperate effort
to complete its job on Holman street
so that it can get the money out of
the job. The company has been up and
don the street now for the third time.
1t was for this reason that the as
phalt heater. by the use of which the
frost could be thawed out of the crew
asses in the bricks, was used. In many
cases, however, the bricks were relaid
in such a manner as to make it appar-
ent that the job was patched.
The street is also covered with deb
ris, consisting of dirt. dust and frag-
ments of broken brick, until the people
of the south side are wondering if the
street will ever be completed.

MAS0NS' GREAT NIGHT
Charles Williams Rides the
Masonic GOAT in Fine
Style.

The annual past masters night last
Saturday, which was held in the Blue
lodge rooms of the Masonic temple.
was one of the most notable that has
been held in recent years. The candi-
date of the evening was Mr.. Charles
Williams.
Never was there an occasion of this
kind has the attendance been so great
as it was last Saturday. The lodge
rooms were crowded with the members
of the local order and visitors from
all of the cities of the county.
In fact there was hardly a city or
town in the vicinity that was not rep
resented by one or more visitors. The
Whiting Masonic band furnished the
music during the evening and was
greatly appreciated.
After the degree work had been con-
cluded, with Postmaster William II.
Gostlin acting as worshipful master,
the visitors and the members of the
order repaired to the banquet hall on
the first floor of the temple and par
took of the luncheon that had been
served by the ladies of the Eastern
Star.

ROBERTSDALE SALOON
ENTERED BY THIEVES
Cigars and Whisky Taken in
Liberal Quantities from
the Place.
HOLES BORED IN THE DOOR
No Attempt Was Made to Tap the
Cash Register For Fear of
Making Noise.

The saloon of Otto Bauer, One Hum
son avenue, RobertsdaIe, was entered
by thieves last night and a quantity of
liquor and cigars was stolen.
Entrance TO the saloon was made by
means of the front door. A little vesti-
buIe protected the front door from the
outside, that the thieves could work
without fear of being seen.
They bored several holes in the door
with a large bit and then forced IL
open. After gaining entrance to the
saloon the robbers took several boxes
of cigars and a quantity of whisky.
Afraid of Cash Register.
There was some money in the cash
register but no attempt was made tc
open it. on account of the fear of ring
ing the bell and arousin gthe proprie-

The theft was not discovered until
this morning and then it was too late
to make an effort to capture the
thieves. The matter was reported tc

1t is the opinion of Proprietor Ottt

BOB KIDNEY WILL Be
CANDIDATE FOR NAYORALTY
Alderman Thomas Swanton Is Also Grooming Himself
for the Republican Nomination for Mayor
of Hammond.

Robert Kidney and Thomas Swan
ton have both quietly announced to
their friends in Hammond that they
will be candidates for the office of
mayor on the republican ticket. So
far as it is now known there are not
any other aspirants for the office in
the republican ranks, but it is possi-
BILE that another candidate will be
brought out before the convention is
called to order.
An effort has been made to induce
F. Richard Schaaf, the county chair
man, to make the race, but he has not
given his friends any encouragement.
Hundreds of republican workers have
gone to Mr.. Schaaf and pleaded with
him to announce his candidacy, but he
refuses to do so.
In the meantime the other repub-
lican aspirants have gone ahead and
felt OUT their friends. AS result
both Mr.. Kidney and Mr.. Swanton fee
that they have a good chance of secur-
ing the nomination.
Both Men Are Well known.

is also generally supported by the la
Dor unions of Hammond and would
probably get the Endorsement of a ma

Thomas Swanton has long been a
factor in the local political situation.
Unlike Mr.. Kidney he has mixed more
or less into the political game and
knows what is practical politics. He
has a large acquaintance in Hammond
and is believed to be a strong candi-
date.
1t is understood that Mr. Swanton
has been laying his wires for the ma
yoralty nomination for some time and
that he has been assured support from
certain quarters.

to be a warm one and the interest that
is already being shown is remarka BILE

Lawrence Ryan of Gary and
Two Negroes Are Taken
to State Reformatory at
Jeffersonville by Deputy
Sheriffs.
RYAN TRAPPED At
LAST BY POLICE
Escaped From Several Tight Holes
By Shouldering Blame on Other
Fellow, But the Gary Authorities
at Last Got the Goods on Him and
One to Eight Is His Fate.

Lake county is sending three repre-
sentatives to the JeffersonvfIIe re-
formatory today. They were escorted
to the state asylum for criminals by
Deputy Sheriff James frost and Christ
Lassen of Cedar Lake, who was depu-
tized to accompany him.
The most conspicuous criminal among
them fz Lawrence Ryan, the Gary man
who was sentenced to from L to years
ON the charge of stealing eighteen pairs
of boots.
Ryan had been suspected of COM
plicity in several other crimes in Gary
but has always escaped by blaming il
on the other fellow. The police have
been long aware Of the fact that he
was dangerous character and have
been trying their best to get the goods
on him.
Junk Dealer Is Implicated.
When the eighteen pairs of boots
which had been stolen from Greene &
Sons camp. were finally located in the
residence of a Gary junk dealer he was
lforced to tell from whom he had pur.
chased the boots on the penalty of be
ing held for reGaiving stolen property
1t was another tase in which tn,
! junk dealer has proven the go-betwee1
between known criminals and the mar
ket for their spoils. However, the Gar,
junk dealer was granted immunity pro
viding he would reveal the identity o
the man who stole the boots.
| Lawrence Ryan was pointed out a.
the chief and his arrest followed. TIL
evidence was so conclusive agains
him that he was quickly tried in tn
Lake superior court and sentenced b,
Judge Reiter to one to eight years ii
] the reformatory.
Gary People Are Glad
Gary people who knew who Ryal
was will be glad to know that he
now on his way to prison. where he will
no longer be able to prey on society
THE charge upon which Ryan wa
Isentenced was that of petit larcen
and the value of the goods he stole wa
s35. That the boots were purchased b
the Gary junk dealer for $3.50 is con
elusive evidence that he knew the
were stolen.
The others who were taken to JET
fersonville today were Arthur Linde
and John Carter, two Chicago negroes
who were sentenced to imprisonmer
from one to fourteen years at Jeffer
sonville. They were charged with hors
stealing.
