ANNOUNCE THEIR BILL
Towle' Opera House Opens
With Sunday Matinee
in Lena Rivers.

"A play without a villain" a descrip-
tion which is truthfully to be applied
to Lena Rivers" in which Miss Beu-
lah Poynter comes to the Towle opera
house for a limited engagement for
four nights commencing Sunday matt
nee, August 80, has often been the
cause for a cynical smile upon the part
Of those who profess to be knowing
in the things of the drama For, is is
a fundamental law of dramatic con-
struction, that a play is like a prob
linn in physics or chemistry, to every
action there is opposite and equal
reaction. In other wards its entire
existence depends upon something hap
pening to prevent the immediate ac-
complishment of what the hero OIL
heroine designs to do.
This seasons company is practically
the same as the one which won such
general favor last season. Headed by
Miss Poynter it includes Frank Tobin
Sylvia Starr, Emma Butler, Marie Day
Nettie Loudem. Georgiana Wilson, J
Irving White. Sam Burton and others

WHO WAS THE WOMAN?
Chicago Police Claim to
Have Secured Information
From Hammond Lady.

According to one of the Chicago pa
pers. ]. ]. Blair, the kidnapper of little
Veronica Cassidy, was captured in Mil
waukee on information which was fur
nished by a woman in Hammond.
1t is said that Detective Matthew Nc
Namara of the South Chicago police
station learned that J. ]. Blair, the kid
napper, was acquainted in Hammond.
He came to this city and through a
friend of Blair's. a woman, whose name
is not divulged. he learned that Blair
had gone to Cincinnati.
From that place he traced him to
Rockford. ILL.,. and water to Waukegan.
At Waukegan the trace was list, but
later the information reached the de-
tective that Blair was in Milwaukee
He traced Blair there and soon had
him under arrest. This noon he had
the little Cassidy girl taken to Mil
waukee where is is expected that she
will identify Blair as her captor.
1t is impossible to learn who the
Hammond woman was who gave the
police the ii pwhich lead to Blair's
arrest. 1t is presumed that for rea-
sons of her own she refuses to divulgt
her identity.

Hammond Lawyer Will Go
Into Partnership With
Atty. T. S. Fancher.

NJ S. Smith, who has been located
in room 400 in the Hammond building
has accepted an offer from Hattorney
T. S. Fancher of Crown Point to enter
into partnership with him in his
Crown Point law office.
1t is understood that Mr.. Smith is to
be the active man in the partnership
and that Mr. Fancher is eventually to
turn over his entire business to the
Hammond man.
Mr.. Fancher expects to retire in two
or three years and after that time Mr.
Fanchers legal business will be looked
after by Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Fancher has
a fine library and the new arrange
ment is very fortunate for Mr. Smith
In the short time that Mr.. Smith has
been located in Hammond he has
done very well and he hesitates about
leaving as good a field as he has
found here, but Mr.. Fancher's office
was too tempting to warrant his turn
ing it down.
P. E. Johnson will take over the of
fee of Mr.. Smith in this city and he
will have associated with him. H. A
Bixby, who however. will not be il

SAY CASE IS POOR ONE
Michigan City Dispatch Be
lieves Tom McMeans is
Guiltless of Charge.

In speaking of the McMeans' case in
which Tom McMeans was arrested for
the theft at the Hotel Majestic, in this
city, the Michigan City Dispatch says:
"McMeans emphatically denies his
giutl. He had been discharged from
the hotel and came to this city to find
work. No trace of the stolen goods has
been found and it looks as though the
Hammond authorities have very poor
case against McMeans. AS he left
Hammond within a few minutes after
the robbery was discovered. he had lit
tie time to dispose of them and he
brought nothing to this city with him.
1t looks as though someone else got
the stuff. McMeans is 25 years of age
5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs about
130 pounds. He is a cigarette fiend OF
the worst type, being so nervous that
he shook life a leaf"
