FEAR FOR THEIR JOBS
Railroad Employees However
Soon Are Relieved of
Their Anxiety.

All or the gatemen, fiagmen and some
OF the other employees of the Michigan
central railroad were asked to report at
the depot this morning at o'clock.
They came in fear and trembling. as
ehey did not know but that they were

TO be forfeited. After standing around
Tor while and waiting for the newt
able, they were confronted with moth
ing more alarming than the company's
eye examiner, who proceeded to make
the annual test of their eye sight.
Now the gates are going up and down
with more alacrity than usual and as
the examination was passed by prac-
tically all of the employees, they feel

MAY GET NEW MACHINES
County Commissioners Take
UP Important Matters
at June Meeting.

At the meeting of the County Com
missioners at Crown Point yester-
day the matter of installing voting ma
chimes was taken up and the board is
seriously considering the advisability
of adopting this method of Counting
the vote
There are two makes which are liked
by the commissioners and if they are
installed, it will mean a saving of
$4,000 for each election. 1t is es-
timated that the machines will pay
for themselves in four or five elections.
If it is decided to install these ma
chimes the number of precincts in the
county will be about cut in two.
There are now sixty-nine precincts
can be done so much quicker that it
will not be necessary to have more
than thirty precincts.
Another of the advantages of the
machines will be the fact that within
a few minutes after the polls are
closed the result will be known all
over the county.
1t was decided to reapportion Gary
and seven precincts were added to the
county in this quarter This IS only
tentative arrangement, however, for
If the entire county is redistricted it
will also necessitate a change in Gary
where the precincts were made on the
same basis as they are now arranged
over the rest of the county.
The matter of buying the new voting
machines will not be finally decided
until the next meeting of the commits
sioners which will be the first Mon
day in July.
The purchase of voting machines
will be in nature of an innovation
in this part of the state, but in the
central and southern counties the plan
has proven great success.

KUSSMAUl
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
While Riding Bicycle on Holman Street He Colldes
With Street Car and is Badly Bruised
About Hi Body

Good and bad luck yesterday strove
with each other for supremacy over
the life of Clarence Kussmaul, the little
son of George Kussmaul. In a street
car accident in which the lad was badly
shaken UP, but his good luck however
won.
Clarence was riding his wheel down
Holman street, but did not have a
clear view OF the street, owing to a
street car that was in front of him.
When he crossed Russell street he
went to one side and collided with a
north bound street car, which had been
standing in the side track. He was di-
rectly in the cars path and was go
ing at a good speed, and only a few
feet away from the car the lad did
not see his way out of the predicament.
Turns Just in Time.
Swiftly he turned his wheel to one
side, but not in time to escape the car.
He was thrown violently to the ground
and stunned for short time. People
who saw the .ccident ran to his aid
and soon he recovered enough SO he
could limp home with his wheel. which
had been damaged about as much as

ALLEGED SPITE
IN LAWSUIT
Friends Of Married Couple Declare
That Alderman Began Prosecution
Because Saloonkeeper Failed to
Return Money Borrowed From
John Papp.

John Papp, one Of the members of
the Hammond city council, and an
erstwhile politician among the foreign
ers of the Standard Steel car district
failed in his efforts to avenge himself
against Mike Markovich when, as
prosecuting witness against Markovfch
and Vernon Frakas he failed to pro
duce enough evidence to warrant their
conviction on the scandalous charge
brought against them.
The jury was out only a few minutes
and quickly returned verdict of mot
guilty" In fact the haste of the twelve
men in arriving at a verdict was a re-
proof to the man who had preferred
the charges in spirit of revenge as
it is alleged by friends Of Markoyich
and his wife.
Foreigners Sore at Papp
Incidentally Papp. who has persuaded
the foreigners in the Standard Settle
ment that he is big toad in their lit
tie puddle, has been discredited by a
large number Of the people with whom
he formerly had considerable influ-
ence. He is looked upon as a meddler
and his failures to give Markovich the
threatened punishment may elfmfns te
him as factor in the new settlement.
The evidence was far from being con-
elusive that Markovich and the comely
young woman. who has since become
his wife, had improper relations be-
fore their morriage. 1t was shown
that they were intimate but nothing
but what might be expected by
couple who were married two days
after.
Judge Mcmahon Instructs Jury.
The judges instructions were that
the charges must be positively proven
before verdict can be returned At
torney Brandenburg, who was EMPLOY
ed by Papp, made the principal argu-
ment for the prosecution but Attorrev
Flagg, who represents that states at
torney's office, made no effort to push
the prosecution.
On several occasions Judge Mcmahon
refused to permit Attorney Branden-
burg to ask Verona Frakas certain
questions. The poor little woman sat
In the court room shame-faced and
with dropping eyelashes while personal
questions were volleyed at her and she

Impression.

Ind, who is to be Hammond high
schools new principal next year, ar
rived in Hammond today and is the
guest of Professor and Mrs. c. M. Nc
Daniels.
Professor McElroy was introduced by
Mr.. Mcdaniel to many patrons of the
schools and made a decided impression.
He is clean-cut. clever-looking young
man. who looks the part of a modern
educator thoroughly, and no doubt will
be warmly welcomed into Hammond's
society and business circles. He is only
here on visit at present, but will take
up his. abode in this city later in the

The TINES prediction yesterday that
II. NJ. Bicknell would be appointed by

be correct the veteran druggist was
nominated without opposition at the
council meeting last night and elected
without dissenting voice. The routine
itself Of nominating Mr.. Bickne1l was
devoid of all features leaving nothing
but the circumstances which brought
his nomination about. 1t was the last
act of the council meeting, Kane and
Hammond having respectively moved
and seconded that Mr.. Bicknen be nom
mated. When the nomination was
closed Councilman Newman made a
motion that Mr. BicknelI be elected
by acclamation, but Mayor Becker put
the kibosh on that sentiment by sug-
gesting that it be done through a res
olution. The resolution was drawn up
and passed without a dissenting vote.
Business Is Rushed Through.
In few council meetings has an equal
amount of bushes been dispatched with
more speed than in the one last night.
There were no discussion and no ques-
tions were raised. Councilman Kane
who has a knack of startling things

accounted to some extent for the coun-

Chicago, and one of the prominent
members stated that the convention
was a huge success.
Ladies were here from all parts of
