HEARS THE
ARGUMENT
Many Decisions Are Cited in
Calum ct Remonstrance
Case and Judge Reiter
Takes Case Under Advise
ment Last Night.

The entire day in the Lake superior
court yesterday was taken up in the
hearing of arguments I'm the case of
Michael Walsh of Gary, who Ia appeal
ing from the decision of the board of
Lake county commissioners in the
Calumet township remonstrance case.
The argument of the case pro-
gressed along the lines as outlined in
THE TIMES yesterday. The hearing was
completed yesterday afternoon and
Judge Virgil S. Reiter took the matter
under advisement.
The judge said today that he did not
know when he would render his de-
cision in the matter. as there were so
many decisions cited that 1t would re-
quire a great deal of time to read them
over.
1t is expected, however, that the
judges decision will be given out some
time in the early part of next week
If the judge decides to dismiss the ap-
peal that will be all there will be to
the opposition to the remonstrance for
the other cases will all be decided in
the same manner and 1t would be use
less for the saloonkeepers to fight each
individual case.
If. however the judge sustains the
appeal of the attorneys for the saloon
keepers, then the question will be as
to the manner of trial, whether by
court or by jury.
This is said to involve a question
which has never been decided by the
supreme court of the state, and it ma,
be necessary for Judge Reiter to estab
lish a precedent in his decision.
The interest in these saloon cases il
very great and the interested partie:
are quizzing the attorneys in the cas-
regarding the probable outcome of th'
| litigation
There is no court in the Lake su
perior court this morning and the at
| torneys over the county are taking
much-needed rest after hard week ii
i court.

OFFERS HIS SERVICES
TO CHICAGO Police
Already Is Detective-Has a Carpet
Bag and Set of Piazzas, Besides
Pair Of Boots, as Part of His
Detective Paraphernalia, But Capt.
O'Brien of Chicago Can't See Him.

Crown Point, Ind, Nov. 2e.-Great
and lofty are the aspirations of A..
Green of Leroy, but great has been
his tumble. Leroy hasn't hitherto fur
nished much of a field for the ambitions
of Mr.. Green In the Sherlock Holmes
Lecocq line and what's more 1t doesn't
seem to Mr.. Green IL it will, he
made application to Capt. p. d. o'Brien
of the Chicago detective bureau, offer
ing his services.
Has Been Up Against 'Em.
Mr.. Green has been in Chicago sew
eral times in his life and has had con-
siderable experience with gentlemen
who sell the Masonic temple, segments
out of the Lake Front, ct cetera and
doesn't believe the Chicago police are
bright enough and well enough equip
ped to catch the festive con man.
So he wants a chance.
He already has a badge from Gin
cinnatf detective firm. which allows him
to be detective whole year for a
dollar, but detecting in Leroy Is slim
business. The boys there know Mr.
Green and quail before him.
Has Confidence In Himself.
A wider field for his talents He be-
lieves that he can rid Chicago of con-
fdence men who confine their efforts
to railroad depots and operate with
the guileless farmer.
Mr.. Green wants to go to Chicago
with genuine carpet bag and sauntel
along the street gazing at the upper
stories of the Monadnock and other
high buildings and appear like his
name-Green.
Sure He Can Catch 'Em.
Then, when he is accosted by crook
he says he will lure the latter to some
place designated by the police. where
they are in waiting and the con
operator will be arrested.
Splendid idea! But Capt. O'Brier
hasn't fallen for 1t yet and Mr.. Greens
Lake county friends can't understand
IT. He has the carpet bag, the chir
verandas and the boots all CREASED
and ready and the Joe Conyer sta
from Cincinnati.
Does anybody else want a goot

TWO BOYS ARE KILLED
Ft. Wayne Accident Ex-
actly Parallels Sad
Homewood Affair.

A distressing accident occurred at
Fort Wayne yesterday which was al
most identical with the Homewood af-
fair In which the son of Tom Ricketts,
lost his life and in which four other
boys nearly lost their lives. A story
of the Fort Wayne accident says:
Arthur Grossman, aged II, and Her
bert Hoeltje. aged II, were killed by
a cavern today. The boys were mem
bers of party who had dug cave
in an embankment and went there to
play after dinner. When they did not
return in the evening a search was in
stituted and 1t was found the roof of
the cave had fallen in. The bodies
We're buried under twenty feet of sand
and were not recovered until 9 clock
tonight"

LADS SHOW 4
VEIN OF CRUELTY
Poor Goat Is Blindfolded
and Steered Into Brew
cry Wagon.

AS a result of the pranks of two
young smart Alecks, a goat belonging
to the Dobbins boy was frightened un-
til it ran into a brewery wagon and
had both of it's hind legs broken.
The injuries to the goat made it ne
cessary to put it out of its misery. The
boys who caused the injury to the goat
were Walter Rice and Frank Zolenow-
ski.
The goat got away from its own
ers in some mysterious manner and
was roaming the streets this morning.
The Rice boy and the Zolenzowski boy
were playing in front of Halls news
paper depot when they spied the goat,
and taking red handkerchief, tried
to frighten it.
They were driving 1t all over the
street and having lots of fun with the
frightenen animal when suddenly a
beer wagon came along. They thought
it would be lots of fun to drive the
goat into the wagon, and so they pro-
ceeded to do so.
The result was that the goat was run
over by the beer wagon and had both
of its hind legs broken. The boys
laughed heartily at their cruel joke un-
til an officer came along and took them
in tow He made it apparent to them
that they could be arrested for cruelty
to animals.
The boys were very much frightened
and soon agreed to go to the owner and
promise to pay for the goat. The value
of the animal was placed at IS and the
boys agreed to pay so cents each E
week until they had each paid $3.50.
This was the consideration of theil
release, and so the matter was no
taken up at the police station. Thos,
who saw the accident say the boy.
should be severely punished for theil
cruelty, and the general impression Il
| that they got off easily.

CROWN POINT TO GET
CONTINUOUS COURT
Committee Also Belieyes That An
Additional Judge in Hammond Su-.
perior Court Is Necessary Before
Terrific Congestion of Cases Can
Be Completely Relieved.

If the report of the committee which
was appointed to make recommends
tions to the Lake County Bar associa-
ton In accepted. the association will
pledge itself individually and collec-
lively to do all in its power to secure
legislation which viii provide for a SUI
periOr court at Gary and a Judge to sit
there soon as the amount of legal
business, originating in that city, makes
such step advisable.
The recommendation will be made to
the Lake County Bar association by the
committee representing the various
towns of the county that the associa-
tion take steps at once to secure legis-
lation which will provide for an addi-
tional judge in the superior court at
Hammond and a continuous circuit
court al Crown Point.
Two flars Are Suggested.
The recommendations of the COM
mittee. therefore, provide for two plans
for the relief of the congestion of the
Lake county courts. The first plan has
double remedy. the additional judge
at Hammond and the continuous court
at Crown Point. the second plan has a
single remedy and will provide for the
congestion anticipated in the future,
by assuring ary 4 superior court as
soon as the business originating in
that city warrants it.
! The recommendation of the commits
tee met with practically the unanimous
approval of the representatives from
the various towns of the county. The
only representative to dissent was At
torney George Manlove of Gary, who
voted against the resolution establish
/ ing an additional Judge at Hammond
and a continuous court at Crown Point
and did not vote at all on the resolu-
ton pledging the support of the Lake

ALL PERSONAL INJURY CASES
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Nov. 2s.-Three
interesting cases were fled in the Lake
superior court today by Attorney p. A.
Parks of this city. All three deal with
personal injury cases, sustained by
residents of t;.is city, and in each case
damages of 100000 are prayed for.
Steve Gionta, an employe of the Buff
fington cement plant, wants $4,000 for
the loss of his right hand, which was
injured in a coal dryer 1T the cement
plant. The injury occurred on March
20 of this year, and Gionta only re-
Gently decided that he wanted to claim
damages. Nick Hero, also a Buffng-
ton employe, suffered a severe injury
while mending a large pulley belt sew
eral months ago. The belt broke in a
second place while he was on a ladder
attempting to repair 1t. Its weight
carried him to the ground whore his
head was knocked against certain por-
tions of the cement machinery. His
mental powers have not been as faciie
as before the accident, and Hero de-
clares that it WI take at least the
$40. 900 to ease his mind-and con-
science.
The Dynamite Exploded.
The other case is probably the most
interesting of the two and Will be re-
membered by citizens of the Harbor.
Mike Bernald, a nine year old lad, was
playing along the right of way of the

way, just east of Washington street.
several months ago. He found several
queer looking sticks on top of fiat
car. and his childish nature prompted
him to investigate their meaning. They
were hard. No one was around. 1t
! took but a few moments for Mike to
make up his mind and he did so by
| placing one of the sticks on the rails
and hitting 1t with spike. A terrific
explosion followed, from which little
Mike came forth with one side of his
face missing. Fortunately. the lad was
not killed, although his was a very
narrow escape. His parents have
brought suit for damages, basing theil
claim on the statement that the dyna-
mite. for such it was, should not have
been left unguarded where children
could possibly use it, and the condi-
ton of the lads face will have a last
Ing influence on any jury called to test
the merits of the action.

The Republicans are trying to make
the voters believe that there Is practi-
cally no issue In this campaign but
issues are appearing RAPIDLY, and Is
sues Of such character are developing
as win overwhelm them az the NO
vember polls The tariff has doomed
above the horizon IN very threaten
ing manner to the Republican inter
est
The Republicans have been preach
ing the doctrine OF protection for
years and years and the fallacy Of
that doctrine has been oyerwheIming-
~ established and in fact the word
protection means now nothing more
than protection to the trusts. The
protective tariff IL not In the interest
OF the people, but Of these rapacious
trusts that are gouglng every cent pos
sible out OF Americans. For instance
the great steel trust Is selling rails
in London for $22 per ton and are
charging the Americans s2S per ton.
II It were not for the tariff they
would be compelled to sell the steel
rails to the Americans az the same
rate that they sell them to the Eng
fish, but they, having the benefit Of
the high tariff. can exclude the com
petition OF the English manufacturers
and thus prey on the Americans at
their pleasure. The same Is true OF
the wire nail trust which is charging
the farmers 50 per cent more for their
wire. fences and nails than they do
the foreigners. The same is true OF
household articles; the sewing ma
chine trust Is selling machines in
London and Paris for about SIS less
than they are 70 the American con-
sumner The same Il also true Of the
watch trust and numbers and num-
bers Of articles can be mentioned
along the same line. The American
people have been tricked and de-
lrauoed on these lines long enough,
and the worm Is going to turn, and
with Il they win turn the Republican
party out OF power, for they have
not only permitted this tariff robbery
TO so on but they have done absolute.
" nothing effective in the way Of
curbing these great trusts In fact,
they are az strong today as they
we're when Roosevelt came into
power. This Is shown by the ease
with which they nullIded the $4,000
300 fine against the Standard OH Com.
pany ia the circuit court OF appeals.
The trusts absolutely own the Repub-
llcan party, We cannot bring relief

are kicked out Of power, Turn the
