MISSION OPENS At
ST. PAUL'S CHURCH
Good Attendance Marks the
Opening Night for
Episcopalians.

The Rev. Walter S. Howard, rector
of ST. Thomas church, Plymouth, Ind,
delivered last night the opening sermon
of a series which will be given by him
during the mission now being held at
St. Paur's Episcopal church.
Prior to the sermon the missioner re-
plies to any queries which may be
placed in the question box in the vesti-
bule of the church and this feature is
expected to prove very interesting and
helpful.
The formal query last evening, ac-
cording to the printed program of the
mission, was why do you use a pray
er book?" and the speaker explained
very clearly some of the many excel
lent reasons advanced by the church
for her use of a printed service book.
The subject of the opening sermon,
He sought to see Jesus" was derived
from the text which was the third
verse of the nineteenth chapter of the
gospel, according to ST. Luke.
The speaker pointed out that to at
tain success, either for good or evil, a
man must have force of character and
the determination to press on and over
come all obstacles that might lie in
ones pathway.
No patriotic Jew would accept serv-
ice under Roman authority and Fac
cheus defed this convention by be-
coming a publican or tax-gatherer. and
thus became a social outcast.
ssHe Sought to See Jesus" Is Subject
Many people today" said the speak
er. want to see Jesus and If they
will earnestly strive to know and
understand Him and allow no difficult
ties to prevent their seeking after Him
they will receive the recognition which
Jesus gave Zaccheus and the realiza,-
ton of salvation%'
All Urged to Attend.
The choir led in the singing of the
hymns and the congregation joined in
most heartily.
The congregation last evening fol-
lowed the words of the speaker with
intense interest and many were the ex-
pressions of determination of those
present to attend all of the coming
services of the mission, if possible
All of the seats are free and all
members of the parish are urged
strongly to attend these services. All
others who are interested in learning
more about the faith, practices and
teachings of the church are cordially
invited to come to the mission.
There will be services daily. with
addresses to women at 2:so and every
evening at 7:30.

HOLD A FINE MEETING
Hammond Business Men
Entertain at Smoker
and Cider Contest.

The meeting of the Hammond Bust
ness Mems association at Weis hall
last evening was a great success.
There were in the neighborhood of for
ty members present and everybody en-
joyed himself
Judge 7. NJ. c. Hembroff of Indiana
Harbor and George W. Ross of East
Chicago addressed the speakers on
matters pertaining to waterway devel-
opment and drainage. and A. NJ Turner
of Hammond spoke in similar vein.
During the evening there was a CT
der drinking contest and a barrel of
apples was opened. Doughnuts COM
pleted the list of refreshments and
cigars We're served to all present.
The speakers gave an outline of the
matters which were discussed at a
recent meeting IN Chicago. at which
the question of deep waterway deveI-
opment was taken up and told of the
possibilities and impossibilities of this
region along that line.
The members of the association re-
gard the meeting of last evening as
one productive of great good and more
of them are promised for this winter.

WANT GREENWALD'S
OFFICE NOT SALAR|EO
Congestion In Lake County Courts
May Be Given the Democratic Leg
islature to Settle Next January
According to Reports That Are
Current.

There Is considerable speculation as
to what the next session of the legis-
Iature will do for Lake county and the
Thirty-first judicial district in the
way of necessary legislation.
1t is reported that great many
local democrats, and 1t must be re-
membered thnt the democrats are now
i'm control of the state legislature on
joint ballot, favor the division of the
present judicial district.
In recent years the Lake and Porter
county democrats have not even gone
to the trouble of nominating a candi-
date for prosecuting attorney, for the
reason that while in Lake county they
might at times have a chance of elect
ing a prosecutor that chance becomes
very slim when Porter county is taken
into consideration.
May Have One Circuit.
So the wise ones say that when the
next Legislature meets a bill will be
introduced desecting the Thirty first
judicial district. and Lake county will
become one district. while Porter coun-
ty will become another.
Prosecuting Attorney Charles Green
wald, who has beer elected as the
states attorney in Lake and Porter
counties. would then have his district
confined to Lake county and another
prosecutor would have to be appoint
ed for Porter county or would have to
be selected at a special election.
1t is also understood that the demo-
Gratis are sin favor of abolishing the
fees in the office of prosecutor and
making that office purely a salaried
one. Appropriations would be made
for salaries for deputies in the vari-
Gus cities of the county.
Counties To Be Divided.
In addition to that change il is un-
/ derstood that the Lake and Porter cir
cult will be divided with a separate
circuit at Valparaiso and one at Crown
| Point. This step would necessarily
have to be taken if the jurisdiction Of
| the prosecutor was divided
There is a great deal of uncertainty
as to what will be done to relieve
| the congestion in the courts of Lake
county. The lawyers of the county
have an idea of what ought to be
done. but a matter of political ex-
pediency may prevent their best-laid
plans from being REALIZED

JURY COMPLETED
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
Trial of Ray Lamphere in
Guinness Murder Case
Begins in Earnest.
HE CLAIMS. He SHARED LOOT
Revenge After Rupture With Woman
Advanced as Motive For the
Burning of Home.
CLAIMS. He SHARED LOOT

Laporte. Ind. Nov. 1.-THE jury to
try Ray Lamphere on the charge of
numbering Mrs. Belle Guinness and her
three children was completed at 4
after the jurors had been sworn in
before Judge John c. Richter Prose
cutor Ralph n. Smith outlined the case
of the state in an opening statement
His speech disclosed that the murder
of Andrew Helgelein, the South Da-
kota farmer whose body was among
those found, dismembered and sewn in
gunnysacks, in shallow graves in Mrs
Guinness chicken yard. is to be as
much the subject of testimony as the
charge of murder by arson against
Lamphere, which is the formal question
before the jury.
Says Lamphere Knew.
With the avowed purpose of develop
ing the motive for the burning of the
Guinness house, Prosecutor Smith de-
clared that he will prove Lampher,
knew of the murders by Mrs. Gunnes.
and was her active accomplice in dis
posing of Helgelein's body.
Furthermore, the attorney for tn,
state said he would show that Lam,
phere shared in the loot taken from
Helgelein and later blackmailed Mrs
Guinness until this method of obtain
ing money created such animosity be
tween them that he fired her house
This statement, showing that Lam
phere virtually is on trial on a charg,
of the murder of Helgelein, injected
tremendous interest into the case. l
meant that whatever secret evidenc.
exists concerning the operations of tn,
mistress of the murder farm is to b,
given on the witness stand in oper
court.
Personnel of the Jury.
The jury Is composed of the follow
| ing men:

SHERIFF CARTER
WILL NOT CONTEST
Yarn Started By a Hammond Sheet Is
Untrue and "0ur Fred" Accepts
the Situation Gracefully and Re.
fuses to Bring Suit Against Thomas
Grant.

Ed Simon, the democratic candidate
for representative, who on the face of
the returns was defeated for the leg
islature by his republican opponent, Ed
ward Wickey. will contest the latters
election, and filed his petition through
his attornty, John A. Gavit, yesterday.
The petition was filed, according to
the law, with the clerk of the circuit
court, who in turn must appoint two
justices of the peace who must meet
together, not sooner than twenty days
after their appointment nor later than
thirty days, and hear the evidence.
This evidence, after being put in writ
| ing, will be forwarded to the clerk of
the superior court, who in turn sends
it to the secretary of state The sec
retary of state must, upon receiving
| the evidence, turn it over to the pre-
siding officer of the house not later
than the second day after the legisla-
ture convenes, who shall then imme-
diatciy lay the evidence before the
! house.
Grounds for Petition.
The petition for contest cites three
causes upon which the contest is based.
| to-wit:
| "a That 1,341 votes, which con-
stituted Wickeys majority, were ille-
gal voters, in that they had not re-
sided in the state six months and in
the precinct thirty days.
(2) That the said alleged Illegal vot-
ers had not declared their intentions
in a manner and form required by law
prior to casting their votes.
CD That Edward Wickey, together
with the republican county central
committee and others who are inter-
| ested, conspired to have the illegal
votes cast.
On the above ground the petition
asks that the votes for representatives
be declared void in the following pre-
cincts:
East Chicago. ?. ,. 4, 5. 6, I. s.
whiting, 2, 3, 4, 8, 6, Z.

Both Go to Indianapolis.
The petition having been filed yes
terday Clerk Ernest Shortridge ap
pointed Justice w. A Reiland of Eas

has set Dec. 7th as the day on which
the hearing will take place.

cision of the house regarding thei
claims.

Crown Point, Ind, Nov. 13.-The
Crown Point-Gary interurban project,
which has been sIumbering during the
panic, is coming out of its shell to such
an extent that 1t takes on new aspect
today.
At a meeting yesterday between John
G. Earle and j. KeatOr, representing

The outlook for the construction of
the Crown Point-Gary line is most IA
vorable, Everybody in Crown Point is
optimistic about its possibilities. For
the present, however, there is still an
uncertainty when the actual construc-
tion work can begin. Crown Point peo-
pie at the present time are not only
watching their own line. but are also
speculating about the possibilities of
the Gary Valparaiso line. This line is
said to have considerable capital behind

son of Senator Hopkins of Illinois. and
Congressman Crumpacker from this
district.
