COURT CONvENES
FOR A NEW TERM
Judge Reiter Faces Big
Docket With 300 New
Cases Today.

The superior court convened this
morning for the first time since the
long summer vacation began. There
was an invasion of lawyers in the city
who thought that the court calendar
would be set for the term. but the only
thing which was taken up were some
probate matters.
Tomorrow the calendar for the term
will be set and it is expected that
nearly every lawyer in the county will
be in attendance at court to look after
his cases.
Judge Virgil S. Reiter, whose busi-
ness-lilxe administration of the affairs
of the coprt>has won for him the ap-
proval of every lawyer who practices
here, is facing an even greater amount
of business this term than he did last.
Last term the amount of business
which was done by this court was the
marvel of the other courts in this sec
tion of the country. and as the super
ior court at Hammond is becoming
more and more popular because of the
facility with which cases are handled,
the business begins piling up.
The lawyers have all had a good
vacation and are ready to plunge into
the strenuous work of the winter
terms

All Of the injured were brought to

Railroad officials assert they are con-

for robbery A key was used to open
the switch, the lock hanging loose from
the bar.

NOW HUMM|NG HIVE
Two Hundred Men Are Put
to Work at Local Plant
This Morning.

The United States Metals Refining
company is now a humming hive of in
dustry. After a three months shut
down the plant in East Chicago. which
is looked upon as one Of the most
staple in the region, has begun opera
tions again and expects to run on now
uninterruptedly.
There have been in the neighbor-
hood of 200 men employed from Ham
mond and East Chicago and the pros
perity of the region has advanced to
just that extent.
The 200 men who were put to work
are in high spirits. They are saying
that if the republican party is to be
blamed for bringing on the financial
crisis, which they doubt, it must also
have the credit for bringing about a
speedy return of prosperity.
The new building which is now be-
ing built will be ready for occupancy
in a little while. The work of con-
struction is being rushed and is giving
employment to great many men.

SAY IT WASN'T REGULAR
Republicans at Standard
Will Organize Another
Club.

There are some of the republicans
in the Standard district who object to
the manner in which the republican
club there was organized There were
a number of them who wanted Joe
Kahlman, a popular and well known
saloon keeper, TO be their president and
they claim that Jacob Tietleman took
too much power in his own hands to
bring about his election.
Some of the dissatisfied onessdid not
like the manner in which Joe Kahlman
was turned down and they left the hall
after telling Tietleman what they
thought of him. 1t is now very likely
that job Kahlman viii get his friends
together and organize a new republi-
can club which will embrace large
number Of the residents of the district.
The republicans of the district will
listen to an address in Slavish by Chas.
Greenwald, the candidate for prosecut-
ing attorney. At that time il is pro-
posed to organize a sixth ward Repub-
lican Club with Tietleman and the Of
ficers of the old club minus quantity.

COLORED PREACHER
ExHORTS HIS RACE
Strong Argument Made By Colored
Speaker in the Brownsville Affair
When He Upholds the President
and Declares That Negroes Were
Wrong In Stand They Had Taken.

The republican meeting on the south
side Saturday night was all harmony,
due to the early roundup of both or
tivity of the candidates There was a
large crowd present at the hall on
Sixteenth and Broadway, where the
republicans have rented hall for this
purpose That number represented
nearly every race and color in the city,
and Gary is in a position to boast of
a few varieties.
Many Good Speakers There.
Among the speakers of the evening
were Judge Albert c. Huber. William
H. kliver, p. c. Beatty, NJ. Well Clar-
ence Bretsch, Charles Gregory. and
Rev. Blake, the colored pastor. One of
the finest addresses on the evening was
made by Mr.. Gregory. a colored man,
who addressed his fellow men in par
ticular. In reference to the Browns
Vile affair, Gregory made a great hit
when he asserted that there were four
teen million negroes IN the United
States and that they should not hurt
themselves by voting for democracy for
the satisfaction of getting revenge for
16S colored soldiers. whether they
were right or wrong As far as his
personal opinion was concerned, Mr.
Gregory thought that the colored men
were wrong and should have been
summarily dealt with, and upholds the
action of the president.
All Nationalities Present
Nearly every nationality was pres
ent at the meeting which was the most
unique crowd ever gathered together
in the county. Besides negroes there
were Polish people, Hungarians. Serv-
| ians. Turks and practically every race
in the city. They decided to organize
club which will affiliate with the
larger organization. and hold meetings
| in this hall at stated periods. 1t Will
also be used by the various races.
whenever they desire to hold a meet
| ing by themselves TO boost republic
anism.
Monday the colored Republican club
of Gary will hold meeting in this hall
| where they will be addressed by John
McFadden and Captain Norton. The
colored men have formed one of the
finest and most complete political or
CARNATIONS in the city, and have al
their head a number of experienced
leaders.

Sad Ending Comes to Respected
Engineer Near Blue Island
On Saturday.

The sudden death of James H. Whit
hey, which occurred Saturday evening
at Blue Island. came as a sad shock to
his family and many friends. He was
supposed to be in his usual good health
but was subject to a peculiar type of
heart trouble which fully developed
during that day.
He went out on his usual duty as
railroad engineer and while at Blue Is
land had a fainting attack at 2 O'Clock
and when revived. concluded he could
finish his run. About o'clock the at
tack returned and he fell into the arms
of one of the trainmen in an uncon-
scious condition, from which he could
not be revived. Death was apparently
sudden and painless. His body was
brought home in the evening after the
news had been telephoned to his wife
and friends.

GARY WOMAN
LOSES HER JEWELS
Yesterday Miller Station Is Scene of
Cash Register Robbery Which
Is Boldest of Series of Successful
Crimes That Has Executed For
Some Time.

The Calumet region is over-run
with sneak thieves and robbers. The
police are no more set to work on
one case than another bobs up and
takes their attention If the rob-
bers were united in their efforts to
perplex the police, they could hard
ly be more successful.
The robbers made two good hauls
in the neighborhood of Gary be-
tween Friday night and Sunday
morning. Mrs. Mary Sayles went to
Chicago for a short visit and when
she returned she found jewels miss
ing to the value of 1925.
Early Sunday morning Edward
Klopf, the town marshal of Miller,
was notified that thieves had enter
ed the saloon of George Buckingham
and lifted the cash register contain
ing $50 in checks.
Neither of these cases were as bold
as the one which occurred in West
Hammond when the residence of Mrs.
William Green was broken into in
broad day light and several hundred
dollars worth of jewels We're taken.
Just to show that the crime area Is
not confined to the cities of the Calu-
met region, the boarding house of Fred
Belfast at Maynard was robbed early
Friday morning of about 5000 in cash
In not a single instance have the
thieves been captured and so sure dc
they seem to be of their ability to make
good their escape that they seem t.
be absolutely fearless In their work.
The fact is being pointed out every

GREATLY CHEERED
Two Hundred Working Members of
Plant Get Literature From Oil
Company Advocating Their Study
ing the Principles of the Repub-
lican Party.
fSnecial to The TIMEsl

Whiting, Ind, Sept. 14.-POsftive dec
larations have been adduced that the
Standard OIL company, victims of
Judge Landis' S29, ,OO0, 900 fine, will sup
port the republican candidates for ma
tfonaI office in this years campaign.
The information was received yester-
day by a Times representative from a
reliable source and is absolutely of the
utmost Importance to local office-seek-
ers as it give them the assurance that
they may be carried into power on the
strength of the national ticket, at least.
Receive Literature.
For several weeks, office employees of
the Standard Oil company at Whiting,
have received the issues of Harper's S
Weekly, one of the dominant republican
papers of the year. Articles of un-
usual strength, advocating the Taft
Sherman platform, and denouncing
Wattersonian ideas as advanced by Mr.
Bryan have appeared weekly. The cam
has been virile in the extreme and will
influence it's readers to a marked de-
gree.
There has been no charge made for
these papers and the recipients have
often T6luSS0 10 dGC6pl lIl6ul lTOHl the
postoffice, believing that they will
some day receive a bill for the sub
scription.
WeekIies Gift of Company.
Investigation at the Chicago postal
headquarters, through which the Harp
er magazines pass, revealed the fac
that the weeklies are the gift of the
Standard Oil company, who have paid {
years subscription in advance for up
wards of 200 of their employees.
The method of campaign managing
has been kept very secret until dis
covered by THE TIMES representativ,
and is a new one in political circles. I
| is believed that other corporations will

ests and elect their candidates by tn
/ distribution of such sensible campaigi
literature as that produced by tn
