on Monday.

The criminal calendar which was set
for the month of March and was
changed to April on account OF the

will be taken up next Monday
There are several important cases to
be tried and 1t is expected that only a
few of the ffty-seven cases that are
scheduled on this docket will be dis
posed of.
Among the important cases that
will come up for consideration will be
that of Stanley Sulentich, who is be-
ing held under bail for fleeing for
eigners in Gary out of their remit
tances to the old country.
Mike Zurich will be tried for com
plicity in the shooting of officer Fred

lice The Bertha I.aube case will also
come up for trial. and on account of
the attempted suicide of Frank Brock

in which this will be disposed of.
The case of John Marich is another
that came out of the Servian race riot

MASONIC SOCIAL
CLUB ORGANIZED
New Organization Expected
to Develop Spirit in
Fraternity
MAY HAVE ATHLETIC FEATURE
Basement of Temple Offers Great
Possibilities for Gymnasium
Robert Kidney President.
MAY HAVE ATHLETIC FEATURED

Last evening between the giving Of
degrees at the Masonic temple there
was organized what is to be known as
the Masonic Social club, an organiza-
ton composed exclusively of Masons,
the object of which will be to pro-
mote social activities among the mem
bers of the order.
The new club is destined to become
one of the chief centers of social ac-
titvity m the city and it's organization
will be the beginning of a new era
in the history of Garfield lodge in that
the social as well as the fraternal
spirit will be fostered
1t is expected that in the future
smokers and dances will become regu-
lar occurrences among the members of
the order, while other means will be
taken to promote good fellowship and
sociabiIity.
1t is also possible that steps may be
taken by the new club to provide an
athletic feature. 1t has been suggest
ed that the basement of the new Ma
sonic temple can easily be converted
into fine gymnasium where gym
nastic apparatus can be installed and
such features as bowling alleys and
showers boths may be put in.
The extent to which the plans along
this line could be carried out are linn
tied only by the activity of the mem
bers and as every one is enthusiastic
over the prospects, the new club is
sure to be success.
The officers of the new organization
are; Robert Kidney, president; John
w Morthland. secretary, w H Han
key, vice president: r. S. Caller
treasurer. There was an entertain
ment committee appointed with w. H.
Stewart, chairman, and composed of
the following: r. E. CARRIER. w. M.
Hankey, John r. Thompson and II. w.
Marden.
The meeting was called to order by
Robert Kidney, who was made tenn
porary chairman, and the charter
membership is fifty. It is expected
that there will be a hundred or more
members by the time the constitu-
ton and bylaws are adopted These
are now being prepared by the Off
GERS Of the club and as soon as they are
ready to report another meeting will
be held at which they will be adopted.

SET OFF FOR COLLEGE
r. FL. McHie's Sons Leave
Tomorrow to Attend
Military School.

Sidmon McHie. son of the R. H. Nc
HES of South Holman street, is look
ing eagerly forward to entering college
at Racine, Wis. Robert McHie, his
brother is no less eager to begin school
at Staunton, West Virginia, and the
two boys will leave Hammond tomor-
row with these points in view. Both
institutions to which they are going are
military schools, so. they will have am
pie opportunity to develop athleticaIly
as well as mentally.
Some time ago Mr.. McHie, pere, de-
cided to send his sons away to school.
He looked up the qualifications of a
number of military institutions and told
the boys to take their choice, the only
restriction he placed upon them being
that each was to attend a different
school. Mr.. McHie figured that by this
means the boys would develop an inde-
pendence that might not be so pro-
nounced if they were together. The re-
suit was the selection of the two col
leges for which Sid and Rob, as they
are Familiarity called at home by their
companions, will start tomorrow.

r. I. Marr, manager of THE TIMES,

Mr.. Marr left Chicago Jan 22,. sail
ing from New York the twenty fifth.
He stopped over in Constant Springs,
Jamaica, and cruised about in the trop-
ical waters, visiting Panama and a
number of islands during the balance
of his stay. He found his chief en-
joyment in cruising up and down un-
frequented rivers, where the scenery is
unsurpassed and hunting excellent He

ing in subjects from the dainty flying
specimens that wing their way In
fiocks over the " ss, to whales he
saw spouting Off Jamaica. Mr. Marr
spent some time inspecting the big

what is doing in this locality than
would fill a big book.
The travellers landed in New York,
April 1, Mr.. Marr coming straight
through and his wife and sister re-
naming for visit in the east.

The "double-crossing" at Indianap-

stand aside and let the crash come. E.
IL. Hartman was still struggling to-
night to save the road
Hartman personally is said to he
more heavily interested in Erie securi-
ties than any one person. 1t was Har-
riman who arranged for a loan Of s5.
OU0,0OO when the Erie needed cash. This
is the very loan whose maturity is now
causing the receivership. Because
hartman is carrying about $4,000 600
OF this burden himself and is willing
to extend the time of payment and
because banking institutions friendly
to him hold most OF the remaining
S2,O00,O00. he has practically given his
word that there will be no receiver
without consultation with theetaoin
ship. But he has apparently acted
without consultation with the big in
terests that usually stand behind him.
Some members of the house or Nor
gan are also trying to save the Erie.
Morgan & Co. have put hundreds of
investors into Erie stocks and bonds.
The younger members of the firm want
to protect Erie as a matter of per-
sonal pride. But ]. P. Morgan is un-
derstood to take a neutral position.

HAMMOND GIRLS
MEET WITH ACCIDENT
Splashed With Molten Metal
in Indianapolis
Courthouse.
ONE IS PAINFULLY BURNED
Miss Annah Emory and Elizabeth
Brumm Victims While At
tending Teachers Convention.

Two Hessville school teachers who
i've here and who both are well known
In Hammond. narrowly escaped with
their lives in Indianapolis when a ladle
OF molten metal, used in repairing bear
ings on the elevator machinery in the
fourth floor of the court house, was
overturned, splashing them with the
hot fluid and painfully burning one
while the hats and suits of both were
ruined
The teachers were Miss Annah
Emory and Miss Elizabeth Brumm
Miss Brumm and Miss Emory were
walking in the corridor of the first
story of the court house when. with
out warning. a shower of molten metal
fell around them. Some of the metals
struck the back of Miss Emory's neck,
burning her quite badly. Drops of the
metal burned holes through the hats
ard suits of the young women.
Workmen in the fourth story of the
court house had been casting new bear
ings for a pulley shaft, the pulley be-
ing used for carrying the elevator
cables One workman accidentally
stepped on loose board, which struck
ladel of molten metal, causing it to
spill and fall three stories to the floor
of the main corridor.
Most of the Hammond school teach
ers and a great many from outlying
towns and in the country districts,
went down to the convention, among
them being superintendent Mcdaniel.
W. A. Hill, Miss Lulu Sims, Miss Nina
Petit. Miss Matilda Eichhorn, Miss
Ethel Ebright and Miss Thompson of
Hammond, and Misses Cecilia and Rose
Ludwig of st. John. Many of the Ham
mond teachers spent the first portion
of their spring vacation at their homes
and went from these widely scattered
points to the convention.
The teachers are on their way home
today and will be on hand for duty
Monday.
