THEY WANT WESTRUM|TE
Towle st. Residents Look
With Favor Upon New
Paving Material.

Westrumte ruled at the board of
public works this morning when the
Towle street pavement came up for a
decision. The majority of the proper
ty owners expressed themselves in ia =
vor of Westrumite There were a few
objections to the Westrumite from the
non -rsident owners, but they did not
think it worth while to present them
in the proper form.
The report for the Wilcox avenue
sewer was placed on file.
Plans and specifications for the
South Holman street pavement were
accepted and the resolution for the i'm
provement adopted
J. Healy's contract for the building
of the North Columbia avenue sewer
was accepted and made matter of
record.
The petition of the Chicago Tele-
phone company for a lateral under
ground in Gostlin street was granted,
was also the petition of the Morton
avenue property owners for a street
Improvement. The board ordered the
street improved.
The clerk was instructed to adver-
tise for bids for the building of the
new city barn. The plans for this barn
has already been completed by Archi-
tect Mac Turner. The barn will cost
built as to connect with the new fire
station and also harmonic with it in
appearance.

BOONE AND GARY
POLICE At ODDS
Prosecuting Attorney of Lake County Surprised at
Shocking Conditions and May Call
Grand Jury.

A grand jury investigation for the
gambling shops in Gary, looks like
proba bility as the result of the recent
tour through the south end by Pros
ecuting Attorney D. E. Boone. Il had
no idea how bad the conditions were"
said Mr. Boone a few days after he
had inspected the distruct in which
the Joints" have been running freely
for the past year. One of the most
notorious places was in fact closed up
for a few hours but was soon open
again ready for business.
Police Think Differently.
During that instance the police and
the prosecuting attorney differed as to
whether the places should be closed
or not, with the result that they were
closed for a few hours, one of them
at least. and then was reopened on the
same pretentious scale. AT that time
Attorney Boone went through the en-
tire city and discovered many places
that he did not known existed and from
which the city has suffered for some
time.

TRIED FOR HIS SANITY
Albert Morelli Goes to
Palmist With a Dis
aStrous Result.

Albert Moreln. a brother of Noble
Morelli, who owns fruit store on
South Holman street, was tried by a
sanity commission and has been ad-
judged insane. He will be taken to
the insane asylum at Logansport as
soonas it will be convenient for him to
be sent.
Morelli is a friend of young Bardelli,
the youth who recently was committed
to the insane asylum at LOgansport
and this is the second case of insanity
which has been discovered on South
Holman street recently.
1t is said that young Bardelli went
to a palmist some time ago and had
his fortune told. Ever since he has
been worrying about that fortune and
this Is thought to be one of the things
which caused him to go insane.
AT the present time he spends hours
of his time looking into the palm of his
hand as though he was trying to read
his fortune there.

POLICE ARE LOOKING
FOR WIRE THIEVES
Chicago Telephone Company Badly Up
set By Malicious Wire Clippers.

The police of all the cities of the
Calumet region have been asked to be
on the lookout for the thieves who
stole f1fty-seven spans of copper wire
from the Chicago Telephone company
somewhere between East Chicago and
Hammond.
The wire thieves deliberately climbed
the poles and took the wire from them.
The wire was worth approximately $40.
and in the opinion of the wire chief of
the telephone company, the thieves
must have been compelled to do a good
deal of climbing to get their booty.
1t is suspected that it is the same
gang of metal thieves who are known
to be in cahoots with unprincipled
junk dealers in this region are respon-
sible for the thefts.

MAKE ARRANGE EMENTS
TO OPEN UNIVERSITY
Lincoln-J Jefferson Law Col
lege Incorporators Tell
of Their Plans.
ARRANGE HIGH CLASS WO R|K
Hammond To Be The Seat For Two
Important Schools To Begin
September IA.
ARRANGE HIGH CLASS W0 R|K

The officers of the Lincoln-J fferson
College of Law were in Hammond this
morning making arrangements for the
opening of the school in this city Sept.
IA
DR. W. Mayes Martin, the president:
D. NJ. Cree of the Cree Publishing
company of Minneapolis, and Albert H
Putney, leading directors, called on
several of the well known lawyers of
the city, among them Judge John H.
Gillett, and outlined the plans for the
new school.
Charles H. Leech, a Chicago attorney
who secured his collegiate education
at Wabash college, and whose father
endowed the 1eech prize in oratory in
that school, will be secretary of the
school. The faculty includes six noted
law lecturers.
The plans for the organization of
the new school. as outlined to a re-
porter in the office of THE TIMES this
morning. are extensive. There are two
schools which will go under the name
of the Lincoln-Jefferson College Of
Law.
VIII BE Two Schools.
There will be what is to be known
as the resident school and the CORES
the Lincoln jefferson College of Law,
will take care of the students who can
spare the time to study here, and the
Lincoln-J jefferson university will sup
ply the necessary outlines of study by
correspondence for those who desire
to get the work in this manner.
To give an idea of the high class of
work that is expected to be done in
the new school. it is understood that
a two years course in law in the Lin
coln-Jefferson school will fit a student
to enter for the third year at the Illi-
nois College of Law.
In the new school there will be sew
eral features which will be given in
no other school in the country. There
will be lectures by men who have the
reputation of having the best legal
minds in the country and the school
will be supplied with the best of law
text books
In the correspondence school, lists
of questions will be sent out periodic
ally to the students who are taking
the work, and a grade of rs will be
VIII Re Good Thing for City.
Hon. Albert H. Putney, a well known
lecturer on legal Jurisprudence and is
eminently qualified for the work which
is being undertaken here. Since the
story appeared several months ago in
THE TIMES announcing the fact that
the school had been incorporated and
expected to locate here, there has been
much curiosity to know something
about the personnel of the faculty
Today the Lincoln-J efferson College
of Law is a certainty, and the import
ance of Hammond as the legal center
of the Calumet region is more firmly
established than ever.
1t will mean the establishment OF
splendid law Libraries and altogether
will hive good influence on the COM
munity.

Mr.. Boone recently made the state
ment that he had asked the police de-
partment to close the places and that
they had taken no action to do so. The
only method that remains therefor to
put them out of business is to ask
for grand Jury investigation. He did
not say when this would be done but
he seemed determined nevertheless to
clean up the south end
Citizens Are Indignant.
The respectable citizens of the town
are indignant over the high handed
manner in which the places are being
operated. Real estate men say that
the workmen are spending their money
here instead of paying for their lots
which they have purchased and they
find 1t difficult to collect for this rea-
SON. Merchants have the same report
to make, and they are unanimous in
wishing them to be put out of business.
AS far as is known there are three
large gambling joints. operated on a
big scale and numerous other places
where men have the opportunity of
throwing their money away.

Plumbers union appeared in Judge W.
w. McMahon's city court this morning
to see about the case which was
brought against plumber by the name
of Davis who was arrested on a charge

Monticello, Ind, July 22.-This is the
day of the Tenth district democratic
congressional convention-one of much
import to the democrats, and there is
much hope and confidence prevalent
here today.
There are two congressional districts
in Indiana that the democrats as a rule
do not lose much sleep about. One is
the Tenth and the other is the Thir-
teenth. In both these districts the
democrats for years have been COM
PEELED to draft candidates. The re-
publican plurality is so large that no
one wishes the job of being set up Just
to be knocked down again.
But this year the democrats are so
encouraged over the outlook that there
is a contest in both districts for the
nomination, and the two conventions
promise to be of more than ordinary
interest. The Tenth district conven-
ton will be held in this place and
already for it. There are two candi-
dates, Edward P. Honan, of Rensselaer,
and William Darroch of Kentland.
Honan Is Well Known.
Mr.. Honan is pretty well known in

INTERURBAn COMPANY
HAS LOT OF TROUBLE
Foreman is Arrested on
Complaint of Street Com
missioner Kuhlman.
PROPERTY OWNERS COMPLAIN
Judge Mcmahon Assesses Damages at
81 and Costs When the
Case Is Tried.
PROPERTY OWNERS COMPLAIN

John Gilmartin, the foreman of
gang Of laborers who are working on
the tracks of the Chicago, Lake Shore
& South Bend Interurban line in the
vicinity Of Sheffield avenue and Bruins
wick street. was arrested yesterday on
complaint of Street Commissioner John
F. Kuhlman for digging up the streets
Complaint was made by Mrs. Barino
who lives in the vicinity The city
asked for $50 damages, but when the
case was tried in Judge McMahons
court the fine assessed was 81 and
costs.
The trouble was caused when the
workingmen who were laying the
tracks for the purpose of elevating the
roadbed.
Object to Crossing.
When a street was crossed this made
an impossible hump and the property
owners objected. Harry Lemon, who is
the superintendent of the division be-
tween Kensington and Gary tried to
give the property owners to understand
that the taking of the sand was just
temporary and that it would not only
be replaced but there would be gravel
approaches made so that the tracks
could be crossed.
Mrs Marnio could not be persuaded
that the arrangement was only tenn
porary and Foreman Gilmartin was
arrested and this morning Mr.. Lemon
paid the fine.
Some of the property owners on the
north side are up in arms against the
| Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend line
for the reason that it has been com
PEELED to condem some property for
right of way. This is thought to be
/ back of the trouble.
