JUDGE GRILLS WITNESS
Investigation Taking Place
in Chambers in Lake
Superior Court.

Judge v. S. Reiter Is quietly inves-
stisating the bribery charges that have
been made inferentially against Well
ington Miiligan of whiting who sued
the city Of Whiting for $4,000 in the
Lake Superior Court. The judge has
summoned witnesses in the case from
Whiting and is making a personal in
quiry into the case with the assistance
OF the lawyers concerned. He has not
called in the prosecuting attorney yet
but If the charges are sustained that
have been brought, a special session of
the superior court grand jury will be
called for the present term. It is quite
probable that the grand jury may be
called this week although Judge Reiter
refuses to state what action will be
taken in the cases.

WANT REPUBLICAN CLUB
Hammond Peaceful Bills"
!. and Sunny Jims" Will
Start Something Soon.

There is movement on foot look
ing to the organization of a young mems
republican club in Hammond. There
was preliminary meeting Of a few
Of those who are interested in the
movement and the indications are that
a meeting will be called for some even
ing in the near future when the young
republicans of the city will get to-
gether and perfect an organization.
The necessity for a club of this kind
is apparent in view of the fact that
there is a state and national election
in prospect and the interest in politics
seems to be greater this year than
ever before.
1t is understood that the republican
organization in both the county and
the state stands ready to aid the
young republicans in any effort they
may make in the interests of the PARTY.

LAKE COUNTY FACES
LARGE COURT DOCKET
Bill For Next Legislature
to Relieve the Present
Situation.
CONTINUOUS CIRCUIT COURT
Judge Reiter Needs an Assistant on
the Bench in Hammond
Gary Adds Work.

! The increase in the number of cases
which are being filed in the Lake Su-
| perior Court and the fact that the
| docket is now so crowded that 1t Is a
puzzle to Judge Virgil S. Reiter to
know how they are all going to be dis
posed Of has caused great deal of
discussion among the Hammond law
yers and a great deal of speculation
regarding what will be the next step
towards relieving the pressure.
One of the court attaches said this
morning that if the business of the
present rate it will not be long before
arrangements will have to be made to
supply additional facilities for trying
the cases.
May Have New District.
| 1t has been suggested that the first
step will probably be to separate the
courts which now compose the thirty
first Judicial District. That is. instead
of having Lake and Forter counties in
cluded in the single district with Judge
w. c. McMahan sitting at both places
there will be two separate courts and
while Judge McMahan will probably
sit at Crown Point there will be an
OIner judge at Valparaiso.
1t is thought that this arrangement
would relieve the situation for while
and that after that Judge Reiter will
have to have an associate judge to help
him handle part of the business which
comes to the local courts.
Now that Judge Anderson has begun
holding court in Hammond and all of
the other courts of the county are so
busy that the lawyers are driven to dis
traction trying to keep track of their
business. Lake county may probably
claim the distinction of having more
legal business than any other county in
Northern Indiana.
The increase in business IN Lake
county has proven the need OF the SUI
perior court, it has proven the need of
a federal court and 1t has now demons
trated the necessity for a separate cir
cult court
In that event there would be one
prosecutor in Lake and one in Porter
county This would be much better
arrangement in the opinion Of the law
the importa nee OF the court at Crown
Point.
Save Them Many Trips.
AIOln0T erect WOulS DO 10 save lDS
lawyers in this county the necessity Of
making numerous trips to the Porter
county seat.
Judge Virgil S. Reiter said yesterday
afternon that he thought 1t very prob
able bill would be introduced at the
next session of the state legislature
asking for the dividing of the thirty
first judicial District.
He said he thought there would be
continuous court at Crown Point in
addition to the one at Hammond. He
also said that the time was not very far
off when it would be necessary to es-
tablish a branch of the Superior Court
in Hammond. to divide the business
which must be transacted here.
In time when tn Getty of Gary be-
comes large enough there will probably
have to be a court established there
and as in the case Of Marion county
in which Indianapolis is located, and
Cook county, in which Chicago is To-
Gated, Lake county will some day have
four or five courts in continuous ses-
sion.

BLACKSMHHS ORGANIZE
Hammond Men Declare
Horse Shoes Have Been
Sold in Drug Store.

The. blacksmiths of Hammond have
organized and have a charter the or
ganization having been perfected dur
ing the past three weeks. There are
seven charter members who met in
Roths hall yesterday afternoon and
listened to an address delivered by the
editor of the Blacksmith's Journal,
who is travelling over the country to
organize the blacksmiths
The local organization is known as
the Hammond Blacksmith's Associa-
tfon and comprises all the master
blacksmiths in the city and one from
East Chicago.
The Hammond Blacksmith's associa-
ton will be affiliated with the National
Association of Blacksmiths and will
carry out Its policy.
The object of our organization" said
Christ Muri, one OF the members today.
is neither to raise nor lower prices
nor wage scales to the journeym
blacksmith. AS an organiza tion we
will also protect ourselves against the
wholesale houses who now sell OUT
side Of the regular blacksmith trade.

found where plugs for neverslip shoes

SOCIALIST HOLDS
OPEN AIR MEETING
John Brown of Connecticut
Attracts Much Attention
on Holman Street.
PEOPLE SHOULD OWN TRUSTS
John D. Rockfellow, as Brown Calls
Him, Comes in For
Round Scoring.

Two hundred people heard John
Brown, a socialistic speaker from Con-
necticut last night when he spoke at
the corner of Holman and Sibley
streets
Brown was of the conservative So
cialistic type and consequently had an
Interested and dignifaed audience.
The burden of his argument and plea
that the people should own the trusts:
that it is machinery that produces the
inequality between the rich and poor
man, and that consequently the labor
ing man who operates the machines
and creates the profit, should be the
owner of them.
John D. Rockyfellow," as the speaker
called him repeatedly. and the trusts
in general. came in for a good share
of scoring however.
Il am not a trust-buster," said the
speaker. and If I had the power to
put them all out of business by next
Thanksgiving. would not do it, for the
trusts own US. They have a hold on
us at both ends and the middle. The
problem must be worked out in the
sourse of time"
Brown then advanced his theories
resources.
Rockyfellow,' as we all know con-
trolls the worlds output of oil, and ac-
cording to our laws there is no power
vested in anybody to set the price on
OF. He must not give you the OIL He
can have it pumped into the sea If he
pleases.''
Brown caused hearty laugh when
he punned some like this:
The United States fined the trust
$29, ,240. 600. but it is up to the United
States to find the money Rockyfellow'
is the only one that ever got anything
out of that law suit. He came from
Pittsheld. Mass. to Ohio. summoned
there by a federal court, and put in a
bill for SCI and got the money and the
others got nothing"
Once when some one in the crowd
ventured a. question as to his remedy
for present conditions. Brown came
back at him with an example COM
pairing the average mans brain with
the photographers solio paper. saying
that some brains and some. solo pa
pers take a picture more readily than
others and that some take no i'm
preston whatever
Brown spoke for about an hour an
a half, having held his meeting in the
open air in preference to holding it in
Huehn's hall where it was at first ad-
vertised TO take place.
When he had finished some of those
who had heard him. said:
They say he is conservative So
cialist, if he is. we would like to hear
a red hot one"

PLAY JOKE ON NEGELE
Police Shot His Dog and
Some Wag Puts Crepe
on Door.

Otto Negele. the druggist, had a good
deal of explaining to do yesterday.
incidentally a large number of peo-
pie came in his place of business to
offer their coincidence.
They saw the piece OF white crepe on
the door that someone connected with
the family had passed away. but they
didn't know who it was.
When will the funeral be?' asked
one sympathetic friend who came in
to buy postage stamp.
What funeral are you talking
about?" asked Otto. There's nobody
dead around here that I know anything
about
Why you have crepe on the door,
declared the friends.
Crepe? Well who the - and a
number OF other things were released
with great vehemence by the druggist
as he went to the door and found a
bunch of crepe tied TO the knob.
He didn't find out until sometime
after. however. that his pet dog had
been killed by the police because it
was at large without a muzzle.

Dr. G. H. Hilliard OF this city, one of
the best known dentists in the state.
today conducted a series of expert

intensity to consume the head of a

have failed to meld gold in the bridge

DR.. Hilliard used bridgework SINH

COKE FIENO' TRIPS UP
Tries to Get Cocaine in Ham
mond Drug Stores But
Fails Dismally.

Another coke" fiend attracted gen.
eral attention in Hammond last night
in a neffort to secure the drug in a
number of Hammond drug stores. He
was an uncouth individual with a nerv-
Gus manner which made it appear that
he was on the verge of a nervous
break down.
He walked very fast and it was only
when he walked into a West Hammond
saloon and persuaded the bartender to
give him a glass of beer that he was
able to quiet his nerves.
Hammond is still the Mecca for dope
fiends. but since the recent exposures
in THE TINES the druggists have been
great deal more careful about sell
ing the drug to strangers.

son WOULD BREAK
WILL OF SACRISON
Dakota Farmer Left $4,000 to
Found a Charity in Old Home
in Sweden.

Bismarck. N. D., May 23.-
When John Sacrison of Rich
land county died he left will
bequeathing half of his estate
to his son and half of it to
found a charity in his cid home
parish in Sweden. Sacrison
had beet a poor boy in Sweden,
and memories of the sufferings
OF poor children, probably,
prompted him to provide
home where they might receive
better treatment than is accord
ed the unfortunate child whose
parents are not able to support
it.
Sacrison's will provided that
his son should have a section
of land in Richland county,
which, with the improvements,
is worth about $4,000 He di-
rected that the remainder of
his estate, consisting of a sec.
ton of land in Minnesota and a
section in Richland county,
should be sold and that his ex-
ecutors should arrange with
the authorities of the parish in
Sweden for the founding of a
home and a perpetual charity
toward poor children. If the
authorities would contribute
toword the maintenance of the
home, it was to be built on a
large scale, but the bequest
was unconditional.
An action to break the will
was brought by the son, on the
ground of indefniteness in the
terms of the charitable bequest,
but the will was sustained in
the probate and district courts,
from which the contestants
have appealed to the supreme
court. 1t was argued before
the court this week and sub.
mitted. The parish employed
c. E. Wolfe as attorney to pro-
tect it's rights under the be-
quest aud Swedish Vice Con
sui Jackson of Minneapolis
also appeared before the
supreme court in an argument
to sustain TIE will.
