GOOD ACTOR
Gentleman jim" Well Re

Music" at Towle's.

Gentleman" Jim Corbett was well
received at Towle's opera House last
evening, where he appeared in Fac
ing the Music" The former pugflist
and one time champion of the world In
the heavyweight class, surprised the
people of this city by the quality of his
acting.
Mr.. Corbett ended his season on the
stage here and went directly TO New
York city. where he expects to take up
the question of fighting Jack Johnson.
Corbett was the center Of interest of a
large number Of fight fans last even
ing.
To one of them he stated that he did
not approve of long fights. He said
he thought they were brutal and had
cast a stigma on the lighting game that
hurt it considerably. Twenty rounds
would be the limit Of prize fight if
Coroett had his way and he thinks If
that would be observed boxing would
come to be considered one of the best
and most healthful Of sports.

game of endurance you might as well

EAST CHICAGO CASE
TO Be ON TRIAL
Two Cases From Gary Are To Be
Tried in Court-Second Papers
Win Be Granted to a Hundred
Foreigners Who Have Made Ap-
pliation for Them.

Tuesday morning at 9 O'Clock Judgs
A B. Anderson of the United States
court, District of Indiana. will declare
the April term opened and on Wednes-
day the first jury that has ever been
called to try a case in this city in the

OF George Wilk VS.. Block Pollock Con-
struction company. of East Chicago. in
which Attorney ". J. McAleer appears
as attorney for the plaintiff.
Why 1t Is Brought There.
The case will be brought in the feds
eraI court before Judge Anderson on
account Of the congested condition of
the local courts and because the law
provides that where one of the par
ties to the suit is a resident of another
state. while the other is a resident of
Indiana. the case may be fled directly
| in the federal court.
| The opening of the federal court
here is an important event in legal
/ circles. but the calling OF a jury to
1 try cases here marks new epoch in
the progress of the city as the legal
! center of Northern Indiana. The case
which Attorney McAleer will try in
the federal court is a suit for damages
for injuries which George Wilk re-
/ ceived while working for the Block
Pollock company in East Chicago. He
f suffered the loss of a leg for which he
asks $4,000

BRIDGE BEING RUSHED
The Monon's New Bascule
Bridges Progress At
tracts Attention.

The construction of the Monons new
bascule bridge over the Calumet river
in Hammond will be rushed to compile
tion at the earliest possible time. Al
ready several carloads of structural and
bridge steel are standing on the side
track in the vicinity Of the bridge and
the work of placing it on the abut-
ments. which We're constructed last
year, viii begin soon.
This is the first bascule bridge that
has ever been constructed in Ham
mond. and the progress Of the work
will be watched with great interest by
the people Of this city.
The bridge will be a single track
span. This is disappointment to
railroad men. who thought the Monon
would surely double-t track its road
from It's yards to the state line. to
accommodate the greatly increased
amount Of traffic that this part OF the
line is now compelled to carry.

STEERING WHEEL
IS UNMANAGEABLE
Mr. Nimetz Thrown Into Fence Yes
terday and Has Narrow Escape
With His Life While on His Way
Home in His Automobile Slippery
Roads Direct Cause of Mishop.

Only miracle prevented John Nimitz
of Black Oak to escape with his life IN
an automobile accident yesterday. The
steering gear on his machine broke.
leaving his unmanageable machine to
steer itself. which 1t did by cutting
off three fence posts. throwing fore
wheel and then upsetting. Mr.. Nimetz,
who was the only occupant of the ma
chine when the accident happened, was
badly scratched, suffering two broken
legs and such severe lacerations on
his leg that DR.. A. G. Schhcker of East
Chicago, who was summoned, had to
take several stitches. Five of his ribs
were also broken.
The accident happened near Hessville
near the Chick place. about II o'clock
in the morning, after Mr.. Nimetz had
returned from Hammond, where he had
taken his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Julius
Nimitz who wanted to visit theii
daughter, Mrs. Hugo Presholdt.

HAMMOND ATTORNEYS
LOOK OVER PLANS
Lawyers Profess Delight
With Arrangements in
New Cout House.

The Hammond attorneys looked over
the plans. which have been submitted
by Architects Beers & Beers of Chicago
for the remodeing of the court house
here and are delighted with them
The arrangement viii be ideal in
many respects and seems TO meet with
the approval Of all of the attorneys
who have examined them. The ar
rangement of every floor in the build
ing is changed and is greatly improved.
There will be 1.-TWO court rooms on the
third floor Of the court house. Both of
them are ideally arranged and are as
roomy and comodious as the one which
now extends across the rear of the
third floor OF the building.
One of the court rooms will be on
the right hand side of the building and
one will be on the left. The Judge S
bench in each roo mwill be arranged
against a dark wall so that the light
will not shine in the eyes of the at
torneys who are making their argu-
ments before him.
The jury box will be against the
window side and, between the judge
and the jury, will be the witness stand
Back of the two court rooms and in
the space that is now occupied by the
court room will be a large library, which
will be accessible to both of the judges
Of the court as we'll as to the attor-
neys.
Clerks Quarters Enlarged.
The arrangement of the clerks quar-
ters on the second floor is ideal and will
give the Hammond office the entire
rear of the building. This will be a
much desired improvement. as the bust
ness of the Hammond branch is sc
great as to demand that amount OF
| space
The jury rooms will also be located
on this floor and will be accessible
from the court room by private stair
ways. The county engineers quarters
viii also be greatly enlarged to NEE
the growing demands Of the office.
The basement floor will be devoted
to the needs of the sherins office
1 He will have an office fixed up to sui
which to store goods, which are PLACED
in his custody.
There viii be a public toilet for mel
and a jail for men. another for ju
veniles and still another for womer
Thee requirements of a ecent law make
this Necessary.
The floors of the corridors will b
! covered with a noiseless material mad
from compressed cork, which IS said t
wear as well as a tile floor and to b
much more desirable
Altogether the new plans are con
sidered to be very complete and wi
probably be adopted after FEY

has been made for the township trus

Department Made Special Effort
to Capture Bijou Theater Attrac-
ton.

Raffes was caught for the first time
in his life by a police officer. That
officer was Captain George Hanlon of
the Hammond metropolitan police de-
partment As result the doughty
captain is in receipt of a check for
$25 If he had made the capture on a
week day he would have received the
$40 offered by THE TINES to any per
son who caught Raffes and had on his
person a copy Of THE TINES sporting
extra. Hanlon might also have been
the recipient Of a suit OF clothes or a
number Of other articles of value if he
had succeeded in catching the mys-
terious man in one of the stores in
the city. which offered prizes
Raffies was caught on Plummer ave-
nue. in the vicinity of Oakley ave-
nue.. last evening. at GAS p. m. officer
oscar Borchert was standing in front of
the theater and Raffes did not dare to
! go in that way.
/ He attempted to go in through the
rear door. but Captain Hanlon was in

depot and before Raffes could get out

him He claimed that he had never
been captured by police officer. and 81
it is all the mroe to the credit o
Captain Hanlon that he was able IL
pick out his man and arrest him
Hanlon took Raffies to the polio,

to have record of the capture made
No charge was preferred against him
however. Last evening Captain Hanlol
