WAS FIASCO
Gary Lawyers Fall Flat
When They Want to
Prove Conspiracy.

The effort of certain Gary lawyers to
prove that a conspiracy exists between
Chief of Folice Martin and Attorneys
Harris and Bretch is about the biggest
fasco that the city of Gary has ever
known.
After the fat rundown which the
signers of the petition had at the
hands of the Gary town board, they
were disheartened. The Bar associa-
ton held a meeting last evening at
which the report of the committee,
which had the investigation of the
charges against Martin. was to report
The committee announced that 1t had
been unable to find any evidence
against either Harris or Bretsch and
was discharged. This ends the whole
unfortunate affair and the majority of
the members of the Bar association are
glad of 1t.
They are sorry that a few of their
members succeeded in having the whole
association placed in the light of quar-

ANNOUNCES DECREASE IN
INTER CITY TOLL RATE
Company Toll Rates on Basis
Rather Than Wireline
Mileage.
Chicago Telephone
of Airline

The Chicago Telephone company au
thorizes the announcement of a de-
crease in the toll rate between cities
and towns of the Calumet region,
which, but more especially in Lake
county, will mean saving Of great
deal of money to toll users.
The company has adopted what is
known as the block system for COM
putting toll rates, which is in reality a
system whereby the charge is on a
basis of air line mileage rather than a
charge fixed according to the wire line
mileage.
In other words, every city is theor-
etically connected with a wire stretch
ed as straight as the crow flies, with
rates will be made on this basis while
in reality it is necessary in some in
stances for a message to travel twenty
miles to a city ten miles away because
there happens to be no direct wire.
COmpany's Reason for Change.
The idea of the company in adopting
this change in the system of comput-
ing toll rates is to regulate the charge
a though conditions were ideal and
then gradually approach the ideal in
the construction of additional toll lines
until there Will actually not be city
of any Importance which will not have
a direct wire to every other city and
town of Importance.
The company will watch the effect of

HORSEWH|PS THE MAN
East Chicago Lady Uses
Drastic Means to Avenge
Derogatory Remarks.

East Chicago was recently treated
to its first case of a woman horse
whipping a man but the speed with
which the feat was accomplished pre-
vented its becoming very well known.
Yesterday, however the case was be-
fore Judge VIM. A. Reiland and the
facts became public.
1t seems that some time ago Mrs.
John Ragchinitz. who with her hus-
band runs a saloon on Chicago avenue,
near Todd avenue, heard that Mike
Salon, a boarding house keeper on
Forsythe avenue, had made some de-
rogatory remarks about herself and
husband The lady decided that the
proper way to punish a backbiter was
by the horsewhip system so she at
once secured a good stout one.
Mrs Ragchinitz being possessed OF
some executive ability and considerable
patience decided to bide her time and
wait until she could catch Mike in her
own baiIiwick instead of boarding the
lion in his den.
June % being a pleasant day Mike
concluded a little air would do him
good and inadvertently decided on Chi
cago avenue for his promenade He
was jauntily strolling up that thor
Ioughfare whfstling What so rare as
a day in June" and thinking of the
beauties of nature and the JOY of liv-
ing when he thoughtlessly got as far
as the Ragchinitz saloon.
Mary Ragchinitz saw Mike and Mary
is not the woman to compel opportunity
to knock twice at her door.
Instantly she had her trusting whir
in her hand and was after the luckless
Mike. Well, what she did to Mike with
that whip was a fright. If you dom
believe it as the prosecutor. Mike took
him into the judges private office and
showed him.
Mike was a little averse to prose
cutting but his wife was not and ht
not caring for any more arguments
with ladies Mrs. Salon had her way ant
a warrant was sworn out. Mrs. Rag
chinitz pleaded guilty and the cour
assessed her a total of ten dollars
Mike will use Forsythe avenue for hi!
strolls as much as possible in the
future.

FALL MEETING FOR LEXINGTON.

Lexington, Ky. July 9.-The suspen-
sion of racing at the Latonia track
will have no effect on the fall meeting
here. Secretary W. r. Letcher of the
local association said this afternoon
that dates will be asked of the racing
commission at the proper time. Late
in September or early in October will
probably be asked for. This will be
the second fall meeting held in many
years. Turfmen believe the suspen-
sion at Latonia will benefit the local
meeting. Mutuel machines will be
used.

ing the plant has largely increased.

Yours + faithfully,
THE LATE (REV.)
FRIEDRICH A. HAMILTON.

In addition to the above statement
Rev. Hamilton disclosed to a TIMES re-
porter, the inside workings of the trial
in which he was charged with the
following:
Drinking beer on a Pere Quartette
passenger train over a year ago.
Found guilty.
Being found intoxicated at his home
by Mel Trotter, a reformed drunkard.
who conducts a mission at Grand Rap
ids. Verdict guilty.
Visiting house Of Ill fame. Verdict
not guilty.
Unscrupulousness in business. Found
not guilty.
There were also several other Of
enses which were brought out in the
testimony such as smoking of cigar
cites which Hamilton admitted. but
were not specified in the charges. One
charge, which. however. was added af-
ter the trial began. was Of disrespect
to his fellow clergymen. upon which
offense he was also found guilty.
Rev. Hamilton declares that the
charges were framed" and were the
result of jealousy over his unluestion-
able success as pastor of the Third
Church of that city, where he had one
of the largest congregations in the city
before he resigned to come to Gary.
The Presbyterian synod Of Michigan
will try the case the first of October
at which time Rev. Hamilton expects
to be vindicated and he will then re-
enter the ministry. In the meantime
he will be employed by the Cedar
Rapids Press. He formerly was en-
ployed while at Princeton University
as correspondent for the New York
World and other papers.

WATER SITUATION
IS VERY SERIOUS
New Castle People Are Now
Much Worried.

New Castle, Ind, July 1.-The water
situation in this place has become
very serious. 1t has been found that
the strata from which the supply is
obtained does not contain an under
ground lake as had been believed for
many years. On the contrary the
supply is limited and droughts will eff
feet it the same as il on the surface.
Waste of water is believed TO be the
real cause of trouble. This waste is
classed as unintentional on the part of
consumers, BY this method the town
is being deprived of proper fire protec-
ton. 1t has been suggested that the
meter system be adopted. 1t is be-
lieved that consumers would not per
nit waste when they knew they would
have to pay for the water lost in this
way. A reservoir of 100000 gallons
capacity is suggested as necessary to
guarantee proper fire protection.
