JUDGE ALL PETIT IS
TO Be TRANSFERRED
Popular Municipal Magis-
trate's Change Causes
Regret.
WAS FEARLESS AND JUST
Practically Abolished the Parole
System-Judge Maxwell Ru-
mored as Successor.

NO little CONSERVATION has been
caused through local police and court
circles through the announcement that
Judge A. ]. Petit was going to be !.
transferred from the local branch of
the municipal court to the first dis
trict.
1t has not been decided just who will
be sent out to take the newly installed
judges place. but the name of Judge
Maxwell, now stationed at the Des-
PLANES street branch. has been sug-
gested as the possible man. If such
is the case the transfer will not hit
South Chicago as hard as it at first
seemed, because Judge Maxwell is al
ready well known through the local
police and court circles, and if he is
sent out will probably have no trouble
in taking the situation we'll in hand
Judge Petit has been at the local
branch for the past four months and
during this time has done whole lot
of systematizing in the way of dis
posing of complicated cases, the old
parole system which was instituted
during the Girten regime has also been
practically done away with and a man
when arrested is either given a fine or
O1ScnarSeQ.
| The police as a whole believe that
this is the best way of handling the
cases and are living in the hope that
the new judge when, he arrives, will
| take charge of the work the same as
his predecessor did.
In the opinion of the local attorneys.
who land their cases before Judge
Petit, say that he is the most fearless

as being impartial in all cases.
The transfer will go into effect June

circulated through the court and polics
officers yesterday.
Chief Justice Harry Olson was inter.
viewed over the telephone yesterday
and was asked who would be sent oul
here in Judge Pettits place, but HI

BEVE2|DCE ON BIBLE.
Indiana Senator and Ambas-
sador Bryce Speakers on
Notable Occasion.
CELEBRATION OF CENTENNIAL

British and Foreign Bible Society Of
London Ic One Hundred Years Old,
and Event is Made Occasion for
Gathering in hiladephia.-Bishop
Whitaker Presides at Meeting.
The centennial celebration of the
British and Foreign Bible Society Of
London, held in the Academy Of Mu-
sic at Philadelphia, was made notable
by addresses on Bible reading and BIZ
Bile history by the British ambassador
James Bryce, and United States Sena-
tor Beveridge, as well as by the re-
ceipt Of a congratulatory telegram
from President Roosevelt.
Bishop William Whitaker, president
of the society, introduced Senator
Beverage. After discoursing on the
inspiration given men in practical life
by the divine truths of the Bible, Sen
ator Beveridge said:
cause it touches every phase Of life,
because of it's divine idealism, be
cause of its call to the broken, forlorn
and neglected among men; because OF
its promise of the certain dawn of a
happier life here and of eternal Joy
hereafter, the Bible captures the com
mon heart. From first to last it is the
sentinel on the walls Of human hope
which, when questioned, Waterman
what Of the night?' makes answer, Loi
the morn appeareth.'
"In all literature the language of
the Bible is the simplest, and of all
literature the Bible, merely as mat
ter of human interest, is the best read.

THOMAS BARTLETT AND
NEPHEW IN RACE; ONE HURT
Vehicles Collide While Both Are Speed
ing on Indiana HarbOr's Streets
Lees Eye Is Injured.

Whiting, Ind, May 21-(Special)-
Thomas Bartlett and his nephew, Harry
Lee, went riding to Indiana Harbor on
Tuesday and while racing on one of
the paved streets in that city their
racing carts accidentally collided,
throwing Harry out. He was rendered
unconscious and some tall hustling was
done before he was himself again. The
main injury was to his eyes and while
the injury is considered very serious,
it is not thought the eyesight will be
affected.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1908-05-21

spoke as one having authority, and
the common people heard him gladly
"The religion of Jesus Christ is the
last and absolute truth in ethics. Do
unto others as you would have others
do unto you,' said Jesus-and beyond
that we cannot go. All human law
took into account the spirit of hatred;
but Jesus said, Love your enemies;
do good to them that hate you'-and
vance. The world has always said.
Blessed are the strong, for they shall
possess the earth; but Jesus said,
Blessed are the meek, for they shall
inherit the earth
For an hour we might go on, quot
ing the sentences in which the Son Of
Man stated his eternal truths; for all
the words of Jesus may be read in a
single hour, just as his active life last
ed hardly more than a single year.
And every truth he ever spoke shows
in itself that it was the ultimate and
all-comprehending truth in morals.
Appeals to All Glasses.
IF the Bible were literature only, IL
its divine element were not considered,
IL it were merely human document,
1t would still be immortal, so far as
anything human can be, and its per-
manence and power as literature
would be caused by it's appeal to and
approval of the masses. It is the
masses, and they alone, who first dis
cover and finally determine all great
and lasting literature. Not the critics,
not the judges of fine writing, not the
experts of language, make any book
successful and enduring.
Shakespeare was quoted more
among the common people than in the
courts The songs of Burns pealed
from the lips of men clad in holden
gray and glorified the cotter's matched
and humble home before they were
heard by the ears Of the high-born, or
sounded in castle halls.
1.-THE themes of Wagner's master
pieces were the folk-legends of the
German people, and Homer did no
more than to put in form the stories
of struggle and heroism that had been
told for generations by the Grecian
mothers to their children and were the
common possession Of Hellenic fire.
sides.
Recognize Merit
"Lincoln's address at Gettysburg
was not noted at the moment. while
Everett's finished and sounding peri
| DDS were considered the triumph of
that occasion; and it was the man in
the furrow and the street; the man at
the anvil and in the mines; the fam
lily gathered about the common Ameri-
can fireside who first realized the
greatness and tenderness of that inn
mortal utterance.
And so the Bible, considered mere
| ly as literature, is read and quoted by
! the masses, and thus lives on with
growing vigor. If it depended upon
the elect of earth, not million Bibles
would be published today and not ten
thousand read"

Gary Electrical Contractors
May Declare Open
Shop.

AS a result of the strike of the cleo
tricians on the Writ building in Gary,
it is possible that the electrical con-
tractors may declare an open shop and
a meeting of forty members Of the ex-
ecutive board of building contractors
will be held tonight to take up this
matter.
c. H Maloney, one of the electrical
contractors, is the authority for the
statement that his associates will not
consider a compromise with the union
and that it is now easy enough to get
workers to warrant their being pretty
Independent in the matter.
How Trouble Started.
The trouble arose over the fning of
J. B. Kelly of the contractors asso-
citation for violating one of the working
rules of the union. His fine was $25
and upon his refusal TO pay it the
men working for him went out on a
strike.
While the strike first affected only
the new Writ building it has now
spread to the Fitzgerald building on
jefferson street, between Fifth and
Sixth avenues, and on Washington
street, near Eighth avenue. A confer
ence was to have been held yesterday
but there was nothing DONE
The rest of the trades unions on the
Writ building struck yesterday in sym
operations in the whole city will be tied
| up or greatly interferred with by the
strike.

An array Of noted counsel is lined up on each
side and the trials will attract universal attention.
They promise to show the inner workings OF the
ring which was concerned in the construction OF
the Capitol. More light will be shed upon Penn
sylvana methods of conducting public affairs.
The defendants are practically accused of steal
ing 100000 from the people Of the State by sub
stituting cheap materials in the furnishings and
materials of the new Capitol This building was
to cost S4,ooo,ooo but instead the State was con-
fronted with bills for nearly 100000, nearly
three-fourths of which sum, according to State
Treasurer Berry, went to contractors for furnish
ings alone. All sorts of substitutons were made,
it is alleged in the furnishings.
The graft charges are the most startling that
have ever been made in connection with the work
of public officials The prosecutors will endeavor
to probe the alleged great frauds to the bottom
and to lay bare the organization that planned the
alleged systematic spoation, for(it is believed
that so bold a looting could not have happened
without conspiracy involving perhaps others
besides those who have been directly implicated.
