MAY FILE NEW SUITS
Property Owners in Gary
May File Forty five Cases
This Afternoon.

1t was reported this afternoon that
Morris Castleman. acting for large
number of property owners on Wash
ington street, would file forty five
cases In the Lake superior court in
which damages would be asked from
the Gary & Western, the Michigan Cen
trail and the Pennsylvania railroads
for closing up Washington streets
The suits which are to be brought
arose out of the effort of the property
owners on this thoroughfare to open
the street through to the southern linn
its of the city.
The town board of Gary vacated the
street some time ago but the property
owners are cOntesting it's right to do
so, and are now proceeding against the
city and the railroad in mandamus
proceedings to compel the opening of
the street.
1t is not known why a test case is
not made instead of fling forty five
suits, but Castleman says the whole
forty five suits are to be filed at once.

WON'T Be REPRESENTED
Hobart is So Busy With Re
publican Primaries It
Cuts Out Tournament.

Hobart is STEPPED in politics. 1t is
saturated with politics. 1t is parboiled
in politics. 1t will be remembered
that at East Chicago a couple of years
ago the Hobart volunteer fire depart
ment entered in the annual tourna-
ment and won the contest
This year the tournament is to be
held in Crown Point and as usual Ho-
bart has been invited to participate.
VIII they do it? Never. The Ho
bart fremen would have it known that
on the date of the fremens tourna-
ment at Crown Point, ie., August l, the
republicans of Hobart will hold their
township primary election.
A J. Swanson, the committeeman
from that section and a member of
the republican executive committee
has decreed that it would be unwise
for the Hobart people to neglect a
primary election and so the Hobart
boys will not be represented.

MURAT SHRINE OUTING
None of Hammond Shriners
May Take Trip Except
Minnie"

It is doubtful if any of the Ham
mond Shriners will take the trip
which is being arranged by the mem
bers of Murat Temple at indianapolis
to St. Paul, Mimi, unless it be Min
ME"
The trip is TO be one OF the finest
that have ever been taken by the mem
bers of Murat Temple since they came
to Hammond There will be a special
train over the Big Four route which
will pick up Shriners at Lafayette and
other towns along the route, and
should there be any of the Hammond
members who decide to go with the
party they Will join it at Chicago.
The special will leave Indianapolis
a 6:15 p. m. on July II and will ar
rive at St. Paul the next day. The
occasion will be the thirty fourth an
nual session of the Imperial Council
A. A. o, n. M S
Several Hammond Shriners have
been talking of taking the trip but
as vet they have not definitely de-
cided The following is the itinerary:
Leaving Indianapolis at the hour in
dicated will afford opportunity for an
enjoyable social even en- route to Chi
cago, and the time Of arrival in Chi
cago will make 1t convenient for many
members to join the party in that city
Investigation demonstrates that there
is no better scenery in the state O1
Wisconsin that the famous Dells OF
the Wisconsin river. The special vii
arrive at Kilbourn, which is the sta
tion for the Dells, and be taken by
boat to the hotel for breakfast After
breakfast the party will be taken by
a special boat on a trip Of about three
hours, returning to the hotel in ample
time for luncheon before departing
Leaving the Dells at l p. m. the spe-
cial will pass through some Of th'
most fertile portions of the state. a!
we'll as some of the widest and mos
interesting in point of natural scene
ry. The trip will include 127 mile!
along the west bank of the great Miss
issippi river. wit ha stop al Red Wing
for supper and arriving at st. Paul a
S o'clock. This will afford dayligh
trip from Kilbourn to st. Paul with
abundant time for meals and sight
seeing.

fuse for it to burn twice as fast as it
did and it would have exploded in his
hand, or in the face of some one around
him. The police would have naturally
received the blame for allowing any
shooting before the Fourth. But the
same thing is going to happen thou
sands of times tomorrow, and Willie
is going to be there to see the fun
even if papa forbids him to make any
noise.
Harmless (O Explosive Advertised.
Knallfx, an explosive making a loud
report, is much advertised in Ham
mond this year. It is advertised as
the only harmless explosive on the
market. The fact is that knallfx
alone killed FIVE people in Chicago last
year and that its sale there is barred.
Nevertheless, the indications are that
it will be used in Chicago and that it
viii be used in Hammond.
The figures at the top Of the column
show the toll that patriotism has col
lected in this region and they are aw-
full, when it is taken into considera-
tion that none Of these fifty-four peo-
pie needed to have been injured This
does not include the property loss
caused by fires, and runaway horses,
and doctor bills and the anxiety that
held sway in thousands of homes all
day.
The doctors have laid in an extra
supply of bandages, the undertakers
have put additional axle grease into
their ambulances. and Willie has laid
in a store of noise.

Take a last warm slant in his two
blue eyes. for tomorrow only one of
the peppers may greet you.
The glorious" slaughter day is only
a few hours away. In the average
home tonight is father, who thinks he
has done his complete duty by warning

anxious and yet unable to resist her

Boys Are Getting Ready.
The safety of Willie tomorrow de-
pends entirely upon the watchfulness
of father. Mother is unable to guard
him. and whether he handles explo-
sives tomorrow or not, If he is per
mitted to run around with boys who
have the explosives, he is liable to
come home with only one eye or his
face powder marked for life, a pro
spective victim of tetanus.
This is what a TIMES reporter saw
today on South Holman street, north
of the railroad tracks: A group of
small boys. the largest of whom was
only IS years old. was standing on
the sidewalks. The largest boy had a
gun for blank cartridges and also fire
crackers. He was the only one in the
crowd that had any noise about him
and consequently he was an awful
hero in the others eyes
He loaded his gun and naturally the
other youngsters crowded around him
during that operation, and even if he
would have had sense enough he was
bound to hold the gun in some ones
face while he was loading it. An ac-
cidental discharge would have taken
the eye out of the most innocent
youngster. Being rid of all his cart
ridges he lighted a big cracker. hold
ing it with its burning fuse in his
hand. The fuse began to sputter, and
the boy, becoming excited threw il
into the street in a hurry. He did not
stop to look who was passing OF
whether all the boys around were out
of harms way. He simply threw it

IS LARGER
THAN EVER
County Superintendent of
Schools F. F. HIGHWAY is
Pleased With Splendid
Showing Made by Lake
Co. Population Increase.

The remarkable increase in the pOpu-
iatiOn of Lake county is illustrated
in no more remarkable manner by the
large amount of money which the
schools of the county Will receive this
year as their portion of the state school
funds.
Lake county will receive S3S.O7O.O4
this year and this amount is larger
than ever before. The allotment is
mnde per capita after the school census
is taken and while the per capita al
Ietment was S1.72 last year it is s2.12
this year.
County Superintendent is Pleased.
County Superintendent Frank F.
Heighway is very pleased with the
showing the county has made this
year and stated to a TIMES reporter
that while Lake county stood fftieth
in the list of counties, a few years ago,
in the amount of school funds which
were allotted now stands sixth and the
only counties which have been allotted
a greater amount are Allen, Madison,
Marion, Vanderburg and Vigo.
Hammond had the advantage Of hav-
ing the school census taken while the
factories We're still in full operation
and feating population was still in the
community. The population in Gary
was, of course. the greatest factor in
bringing a large increase and then the
increase in Indiana Harbor was re-
marka BILE.
The money which has just been dis
tributed among the schools of the state
! is derived principally from the state
license on saloons and the fines and
fees which are collected in the justice
land city courts.

Nebraska PIanks Modified.

1t is the Nebraska plank with a
limitation and reads as follows. the
new limitation being inserted in
parenthesis: we favor such modif-
cation of the law relating to injunc-
tions as will, first, prevent the issuing
of the writ in industrial disputes eX
cept after due notice to defendants
and full hearings, (unless life of prop
erty shall be endangered by a failure
to issue such writ Immediately, in
which case due notice shall be given
the defendants and a full hearing had
within five days before such writ shall
become permanently second, permit
trial before a judge other than the
one who issued the writ. and, third.
allow a jury to be summoned in all
cases where the alleged contempt is
committed outside the presence of the
court"
Another suggestion Of a compromise
IS based on the present Colorado law
and, incidentally, the experience of the
state OF Colorado in the injunction
line growing out of the troubles of the
Western Federation of Miners is likely
to have some effect upon the con-
vention. The present law of the state
provides that no injunction shall be
issued unless accompanied by an aft
davit showing the immediate presence
of danger to life or property and this
affidavit shall be accompanied by the
applicant to guarantee against loss
or damage growing out of the issu-
ance of the writ. If, upon hearing, the
temporary injunction is dissolved and
| permanent injunction refused, the
| bond is held in escrow pending a set
tlement of damages, if any can be
| 0roved

THEY WANT BRANCH
CIRCUIT COURT HERE
Judge V. S. Reiter Closes
Up Lake Superior Courts
Busy Session Today.
A NEW PLAN IS ADVOCATED
Hammond Attorneys Believe That
City Ought To Have Another
Court.

The present term of the Lake Su-
periOr court will close tomorrow
Judge Virgil s. Reiter is very pleased
with the work that has been done this
year and believes that both the cOura
and the attorneys merit a good long
summers rest.
The crowded docket and the splendid
facility with which Judge Reiter has
disposed of the great griSt of cases,
jury, court and criminal, has made
the present term one of the most no
table in the history of the Superior
Court.
The lawyers have all lead such a
strenuous existence and have had to
work so hard to keep up with the pro-
cession that they are looking forward
to a summers rest with great deal
of pleasure.
There has been considerable discus
sion among the lawyers in Hammond,
of THE TIMES > recent story regarding
the necessity for the enlargement of
the capacity of the Lake Superior
Court and the Lake and Porter Cir
cult Court to handle the enormous
amount of business which has been
forced upon them.
Want Branch Here.
Several Hammond lawyers have sug-
gested that instead of making a sep
arate continuous court at Crown Point
it would be a great deal better TO
have branch of the continuous court
a Hammond.
The arguments advanced for this
plan are that the bulk of the legal
business in the region originates in
Hammond, East Chicago, Indiana Har-
Dor and Gary and that it would be
great deal more convenient 70 rthe
lawyers and their witnesses in Lake
county to come to Hammond where
there are splendid transportation ia
cilities, than to go to Crown Point
where there is but one railroad con-
Meeting with the other cities of tne
region.
1t is expected that before another
session of the legislature, the lawyers
of the county will get together anc
decide on a solution of the problem
which will be acceptable to all section:
of the county and then they will worl
for it.

result will be the suggestion of a large

remembered that more than thirty
such planks were suggested to the re-

tentative planks was brought forward

Revenue Is Increased

It is a peculiar thing that in spite of
the fact that hundreds of saloons have
been put out of the business in the state
the allotment instead or decreasing
with the cutting off of this principal
source of revenue has actually been
increased from SLIP to s2.12 per capita.
