SQUEALS
TO THE PUBLIC
Good Sleuth Work Results in Arrest
of Three Men Who May Be
Charged In City Court With Com
mission of Many Crimes in Ham
mond.

The police of Hammond, after the
most successful and spectacular bit of
detective work that has ever been done
in this locality. have landed three men
behind the bars whom the department
believes is responsible for untold
criminal deeds.
The men under arrest are:
LEO M'GRATH, aged 20; home East
Hammond; arrested by officer Hanlon.
FRANK ENRIGHT-252 Oakley ave-
nue., aged 21; arrested by Oficers Ham
lon. kunz, Schaadt and EinseIe
WILLIAM LOTUS, aged 81, living at
P1ftsburg House on State street; ar
ed by 0Hcer Bunde.
Chief Rimbach and his men have
succeeded in getting Enright to saueal,
McGrath to partially confess. but Lof-
eus maintains stolid silence and has
nothing to.psay.5 Assault and battery
and robbery are the charges brought
against the three men and a taut chain
OF evidence has been woven around the
three men from which 1t will be hard
for them to escape.
The specific crime for which the trio
IS now behind the cars in the city bas-
tile occurred last Wednesday night
about 7:40, at 179 Clinton street in the
rear of the dwelling of Frank Eisen-
pauer There lives Nathan Cohen
ABOUT the time mentioned Messrs. Co
hen and Eisenbauer were visiting to-
sether when number of masked men
entered. Some say there were two
others three. Each of the men wore a
mask over his face. One of them
leaped at Cohen. seized him by the
neck when Eisenbauer jumped up and
assailant No. 2 appeared and struck
him over the head with a car bolt
Vlcfous-looking iron instrument two
feet long. Einsenbauer felled his as
sailant and the two men then made
their escape. The plucky Eisenbauer
stunned by the terrible blow, fell TO
the floor and was revived by the frigh
tened Cohen, with vinegar. The mat
ter was reported to the police and or
dering the utmost secrecy they began
an investigation. The car bolts were
found on the premises. Both men were
reported tall and slim and within half
an hour Leo McGrath was under ar
rest. The attempted robbery was with
held from the public press and everv
veil of secrecy was thrown around
the affair. Messrs. Cohen and Eisen-
bauer kept still and last night Lotus
and Enright were placed under arrest.
MeGrath and Enright. given the third
degree, implicated each other Enright
broke down and says the three Of them
entered the Cohen domicile. McGrath
declares that he himself accompanied
the others but stopped at the door.
Loftus refuses to talk. Enright has ad-
mitted that he stole a watch from 9
State street some time ago and there
Is little question but what the police
have effected a clever capture. In all
probability, the police declare, other
crimes will be laid at the doors of the
three men They will have a preiin-
mary hearing on a charge of assault
and battery. The young men are well
known in. Hammond and their arrest

HAS DICK STRUCK IT RICH? ?

F. Richard Schaan, one of a half
dozen Lake county men who bought oil
field property in Casey county, Ill, two
years ago, returned from Charleston. III.
this afternoon, with the good news for
his fellow investors that a deal is pend
ing by which the Lake county men can
sell their holdings which cost s36.o 900
for $150,0O0.
During the two years the investment
has paid twenty three dividends
amounting to 800 per cent on the in
vestment.
The reason why the Lake county
mems holdings have been found to be
a great field is for the reason that re-
Gently another strata Of oil sand was
discovered.
The would-be buyers of the property
hold twenty year option on the field.

contrary, Judge Gillett is not a poll

cannot make a political speech, and
who believes that a man aspiring to
be a supreme judge ought not to mix

Score Another for Taft.

Score one more for Taft and
"my polices" to which Mr.. Taft is
pledged. The Wabash railroad
has been compelled to pass a pay
ment of interest on it's bonds and
to offer therefor other securities to
the inconvenience of the bond
owners and to the great expense
of the company. The company
cannot pay interest on the bonds
because it has not earned enough
money to meet it's obligations.
This means more men out of
employmenta and more women and
children hungry. The bondhold-
ers will be able to get along, but
those upon whom the burden will
fall ultimately-the employees OF
the Wabash-will have a hard
time of it. Thus are the policies
of Roosevelt being justified daily,
and thus are the people being
shown what to expect from the
election of Roosevelt's man, Taft.

two sandwiches. I bit into one of
them and what do you think the
sandwich was? 1t was a cream puff!

JOKE ON PoMPoUs OFFICIAL.
Judge Evidently Was No Admirer Of
Red Tape Methods.

One of the secretaries to our en-
bassy at London relates how a ques-
tion arose as to the cost of heating
one of the Irish law courts. A conse-
quential treasury official was detailed
from London to look into the matter.
When he introduced himself to the
Judge within whose jurisdiction the
matter lay, the Judge, who, by the way,
frequently evinced a great scorn Of
red tape, smiled with suspicious bland
ness.
Certainly" said his honor, Il will
put you in communication with the
person Immediately in charge Of that
department"
Whereupon he scribbled few words
on piece of paper and gave it to a
messenger. In short time an aged
charwoman entered, The judge then
arose and, as he left the room, said:

The Crisis of the Nation.

Yes, Christ made wine-'twere folly to deny;
To controvert the fact never try
He made it pure, and for good intent;
The wedding guests pronounced it excellent
Nor was this miracle the only one
Performed on earth by Gods Incarnate Son
The palsied, halt and MANNED. the dumb,
all such,
Made whole by word, or by His healing
touch.
He calmed the raging storm; He raised the
dead;
He healed the sick, the hungry crowds He
fed;
The lepers cleansed; the blind restored to
sight;
He caused the impotent to stand upright.
But he who for the "liquor traffic" pleads,
Meier says word aboutthese mighty deeds
Nor speaks the Savior's name, save when
he tries
To clothe the demon drink in heavenly guise
Almighty God is seated on His throne.
He hears the children's cry, the widows
moan,
Recording angels stand at His right hand
And count the wrecks that lie along the
strand.
The names are written down in blood and
tears,
And also on the page the cause appears
That brought them to this melancholy state
As well as those consenting to their fate.

Sincerity Gives Power.

There is nothing which will add so
much to ones power as the conscious.
ness of being absolutely sincere, genu-
inc. If your life is perpetual lie, IL
you are conscious that you are not
what you pretend to be, you cannot be
strong. There is a restraint a per-
petual fighting against the truth going
on within you, a struggle which saps
your energy and Warps your conduct.
Sham and shoddy are powerless; only
the genuine and the true are worth
while
