BUYS THE WHITE HOUSE

It became known today that c. r.
Hendrix, the proprietor of the Automo-
bile cafe on Holman street. just north
of the Michigan Central railroad tracks
is negotiating for the purchase of the
Wolf lake club house. which is more
familiarly known as the White House.
Mr.. Hendrix has made several trims
to the Whate House where he has been
trying to make deal with r. Schnaudt
the proprietor. The last that was heard
from the deal was that the two men had
not been able to get together on the
proposition.
1t is understood that if Mr.. Hendrix
gets CONTROL of the White House he will
make 1t an up-to-date road house for
automobfltsts and a place where the
wayfarer can get a first class meal.
The summer business which wouId he
done in this well known resort wonld
make 1t valuable property.

HUMAN PACKAGE
COMES BY TRAIN
Seven Year -Ond Joe Foss is
Delivered to Relatives

NO ONE At DEPOT FOR HIM
Police Are Notified and Succeed
In Finding Little Fellows
Hammond Relatives.

A package of humanity addressed to
Joe Foss, postoffice box $50, Hammond
Ind, came in on the Pennsylvania rail
road yesterday afternoon and through
the efforts of the police was delivered
to the proper persons in the Standard
district last evening.
II there had been a bill of lading
with the package it would have read.
one bright little boy, seven years old.
name John Foss." The boy has heen
staying with his sister in Pittsburg
and as she left for the old country the
day the boy was shipped to Hammond
TO his parents who live here it is very
fortunate that the package reached its
destination or the boy would have been
lost and might never have seen his
parents again.
When Joe Foss of Hammond learned
that his sister was going back to the
Old country he wondered how he could
get his boy to Hammond with out
having to go after him. Joe has not
been working for some and he did not
nave money enough to go to Pitts
burg to get his son.
Misunderstanding All Around.
Joe corresponded with his sister but
it seems that she had not explained
now the boy was to be sent to Ham
mond.
Consequently the parents here were
not loking for the arrival of their son.
When he arrived here there was no
one to meet him. He waited all dav in
the depot and finally the police were
notified that there was boy at the
depot who was addressed to a certain
hammond man but who had not been
called for.
The police soon located the parents
OF the boy and took the youngster to
his home. The boy recognized the
fathers voice before he got into the
house and there was a hearty well
come awaiting him when the parents
fally found that their son has safely
arrived.

LAWYERS ARE
GREATLY INTERESTED
Judge Reiter Asks For transcripts
His Request His Ignored and Then
Townsley Refuses To Recognize
Writ of Mandamus Served On
Him.

Judge Fl. A. Townsley of Gary, nomi-
nee OF the independence party of In
diana for the office of Judge of The
supreme court, has been served with
notice by Judge Reiter of the Lake
superior court that he must appear
before him on the twenty-ninth of this
month and show cause why he should
not be fined for contempt of court.
The lawyers of Gary are greatly in
terested in the trouble in which the
local judge is involved, as the action
OF Judge Reiter is the first of its kind
since the installation of the Lake SUI
perior court The action against Judge
Townsley was taken when the latter
refused, after writ of mandamus had
been served against him, to deliver to
the upper court transcripts in a GER
tain case which was pending.
Case Appealed to Hammond Court.
The case is one involving the South
Broadway Land company and was first
taken before Judge TownsIey several
weeks ago. The case was then an
pealed to the superior court at Ham
mond- When the case came IN for
trial there, the court asked for the
transcripts in the case. and they were
not turned over. After that writ of
mandamus was served on him and he
refused to recognize the writ.
It is said that the cause of Judge
Townsley's action is that he was not
satisfied with the appeal bond. but as
the latter was accepted, it cannot pos
slbly have any bearing on the refusal
to turn over the papers. Judge Towns
ley is one of the pioneers of this To-
cality, Is well as one of the oldest
Justices. The outcome Of the case and
whether or not the Judge will be held
in contempt of court. is awaited with
interest in Gary, especially among the
