LaPOrte, Ind, May 10, p. m.-Of-
fcers are still searching for the teeth of
Mrs. Guinness. DIR. 1. II. Morton, ex-
pert dentist, this morning declared that
the Jaw bone found in the ruins were
human and undoubtedly that of Mrs.
Guinness. He based his statement on
the peculiar formation of the jaw of
Mrs. Guinness with which he was well
acouafuted. Coroner has Captain
Evans, the Chicago BertilliOn expert,
to take the measurements of Andrew
HeIgeIfn and compare those of Ex-
pert Harvery of Indiana state. Some
doubt on the cOrOner's mind as to proof
of the identity of man, notbwithstand-
ing Aberdeen brothers positive declara-
tiOn to that effect. Unknown writer
of Indianapolis, writes Sheriff Smutzer
that MaxsOn, the hired man, should be
arrested as he knows a great deal con-
cernins< the crimes. Man at Peoria, ILL.,,
name unknown, gave some informa-
tion. saying that Maxson set fire to
the house after woman left for New
York In company with another man.
The unknown writer of Harrisburg, W.
Va, says that LaPorte man is accom-
plice of Mrs. Guinness.
c. H. Ingerso1l of Hammond, who is
in Laporte now, writes to friends here
of the discovery. in the ruins of the
Guinness house of mystery, of a sur
geon's or bistoury knife. 1t will be
remembered that the dismembered
bodies which were found on the farm
indicated that they had been cut into
pieces with a surgeons knife in the
hands of one who was used to using it.
1t is a known fact that Mrs. Guinness
was at one time a nurse and the find
Ing of the knife is considered import
ant, In that it throws additional light
on the manner in which the crimes
were committed.
The knife was found by DR.. D. L
Jones Of Hillsdale. Mich, who was
| searching in the ruins of the Guinness
farmhouse at Laporte. The knife was
an instrument about four inches long

HOLD SPECIAL MEETING
County Commissioners Are
Granted Permit to
Pave.

A special council meeting was held
last night by the city councilmen for
the purpose of granting the county
commissioners the rigE of way to
macadamize the long Z5ad leading out
from Sibley and Summer streets toward

ty The matter was passed by the
board of public works yesterday.
The council by common consent also
went on record to permit the new style
of paving between street car tracks.
The new style of paving does away
with the dog nosed brick and is in
general use in other cities. That stretch
of new rails from Holman street to
the city hall has been laid according
to the new style.

The Hammond team is not confident
of victory but it is sure to make a
good showing. What will materially

! is the fact that owing to the recent
sickness of Will Evers, he will not be
as strong as usual. Evers was relied
upon to win certain events and the
fact that he is not in the best condition
is generally regretted.
Hammond is expected to be strong
in the runs and the low hurdles and

WINS NOTABLE HONORS.
Hammond Young Lady is
First in Glass at De
Pauw University.

Perhaps the proudest and happiest
parents in Hammond today are Attor-
ney and Mrs. ]. G. Ibach, of Home
wood.
A telegram from Greencastle, Ind,
the seat of DePauw university, this
morning advised them that their eldest
daughter, Miss Mary Ibach, one of
Hammonds charming and accomplished
girls. had been awarded first honors in
the senior class for her work in the
university. She received Phi Beta
Kappa and will be the valedictorian.
There are sixty seven members in the
class. who have striven for four years
to get the coveted honors and Miss
Ibach's achievement is all the more
notable on that account.

DECISION
BY NEXT MONDAY
County Commissioners Say
They Will be Through
by Then.

In an interview with County Com
missioner M. ]. Brown, over the tele-
phone this afternoon, he stated that in
his opinion the arguments of both the
demonstrators and the liquor dealers
of Calumet township would be heard
by Monday of next week and that
settlement of the whole question
would be heard by Monday night.
This is taken as an indication that
the commissioners have reached the
beginning of the end. The attorneys
for the liquor dealers began introduc-
ing evidence day before yesterday and
it Is expected that they will finish to-
day although it is possible that they
will require part of tomorrow to com
plete this work.
Call Tells Different Story.
Attorney Harry Call of Gary, who
is representing eight of the eleven
applicants for licenses in Calumet
township has an altogether different
story to tell than those which have
emenated from Gary so far.
He claims that the attorneys for
the liquor dealers have introduced
much testimony which tends to show
that the signatures to the remons-
| trance were secured by fraud He
says that twenty four of the twenty
six signers who We're examined yes
terday said that they had been deceived
when they were induced to sign the
petition and that two of them lived
in Chicago and were not legal voters
in the township.
He says that two-thirds of the names
on the remonstrance were secured by
fraud. He says that there were 33S
voters at the last election, that the
remonstrance bears 229 names, that a
majority is III and that they only
have to prove 1fty-nine of those
names fraudulent in order to have the
remonstrance thrown out.
Disputes the Statement.
He also disputes the statement OF
Mr.. Brown when he says that the mat
ter will not be decided until the latter
part of the week or on Wednesday al
| the earliest.
The arguments pro and con, are ex-
pected to be the most interesting part
of the whole hearing. They will bring
out the plan of attack of the re-
monstrators and the plan of defense
Of the liquor dealers. The work so fal
has been merely the defining of the
premises and the arguments which fol-
low will be the best efforts of all OF
. the lawyers who have been retained

tentious Title.

Hammond is to be invaded by the
rah, rah boys.
1t is known the state over a man
ufacturing city. 1t is rapidly becom-
ing known as the residence district of
the Calumet region. Its latest distinc-
ton is that of being a university town.
OF course the festive freshman in the
Hammond high school talks about 60

nection with his school, but look what's
coming.
Yesterday articles of Incorporation
were filed at Indianapolis for the Lin
coln-Je Jefferson university and the Lin
Jefferson College of Law. The
corporations are capitalized at $1,000
each, and the directors are w. w. Ash
brook, Charles Nicodemus and G.. A.
Stallsmith.
Who Are the Directors.
An effort to discover who are the
parties who expect to make Hammond
a center of education and culture, has
so far been unavailing. If they could
only be located they might get to-
gether with the civic committee of the
Business Mems association and pick
out the exact spot where this core of
culture is to be located.
But the very fact that there have
been two schools incorporated, one a
university and the other college is
enough. Harnmondites may look for a
real college game of football next fall
1t will be a common sight to see the
overbearing upperclassmen hazing the

Judge and School Official Set the
Town of Miller By the
Ears Today.
Especial to THE T1MEs)

Hobart, Ind, May 15.-Judge William
Westergrsen of Miller was arrested
this morning on a warrent sworn out
by Superintendent of Schools Frank
Fitzpatrick, charged with assault and
provoking an assault. The warrant was
was sworn out in Judge Mathews court
at Hobart and Judge Westergreen's
bond was fixed at 500.
The trouble all arose over a whipping
that Superintendent Fitzpatrick gave
Rudolph Westerburg, the son of the
judge, who went to school to him. Ac-
cording to the story that is told about
town, the school superintendent took
particular pains to make life miserable
for the judges son.
He is said to have punished him for
various offenses by keping him after
school and compelling him to bring up
coal. scrub the floors and do other
janitor work.

Judges Som Is whaIed.

When this kind of punishment did
not prove effective Superintendent Fitz-
patrick gave young Westergreen a
" chipping. Last night the judge met
the superintendent of the school and
said Did you whip my SON." The sup
erintendent admitted that he had
We'll. 1 am going to whip you" said
the judge and he proceeded to cary out
his treat
Floyd Olson interfered to help the
school superintendent when he saw that
he was getting the worst of it and he
too was trimmed in approval fashion.
Superintendent Fitzpatrick went at
once to Hobart. where he had war
rant sworn out in Judge Mathews
court
Edward KIopf. the town marshal of
Miller was given the paper to serve
ard was authorized to permit Judge
Westergreen to give bali IA the sum
OF 500.
The judge says that he is going to
fight the case to the finish and he
has A. f. Knots and Marshal Gallon
of Gary to defend him. There is a
great deal of feeling between the two
men and the trial is likely to prove
an interesting one.
