OIL INSPECTORS PAY BOOSTED
AFTER MOST BITTER DE-
BATE.
ROETHE CALLS 1T A "GRAB"
Ingram Rushes Amendment to Desk and
Whole Situation May Yet
Change Front.
TEACHERS PENSION ADVANCED.

MADISON, Wis, June 8.-[Special.l
Oil Inspector Ed Tracy's salary was
the chief subject of debate in the Assem-
bly, this morning, two factions Of the
House fighting over the Senate bill in
creasing his pay, adding to his staff OF
Inspectors permitting the appointment OF
d deputy at $1,000, and requiring that
vouchers of the inspectors should be APP
proved by the governor.
ASsemblyman ROethe wanted to know
just what brand of lubricating oil Mr..
Tracy used i'll framing the bill. He
called it a bold grab and a clever scheme
to work up an improved system of max
ing the state pay for political work
Several sensational speeches were made
against the bill. Messrs. Ingram, Daub
and Hull contributing to the ammuni-
ton against it.
But the proponents of the bill were
strong Mr.. Hambrecht made a bold de-
Tense of the measure. After Mr.. Ham
brecht sat down Mr.. Ingram informed
the Assembly that Mr.. Hambrecht had
secured his figures from Tracy. Mr..
thought it was all right. A roll call was
insisted and the bill was advanced. The
result being as follows: Ayes, 43; noes,
81 Only thirty-One members were pres
ent.
Bill to Be Amended.
The roll call being on the question of
third reading only, amendment was pos
sible, and Mr.. Ingram rushed one to the
desk. 1t struck out the phrase making
it the duty of the governor to 20. X"
the expense accounts of the inspectors
and placed this work in the hands of
the secretary of state, whose duty is to
audit all accounts. The amendment was
accepted and the bill went over to the
next calendar. When it comes up again
Mr. Ingram will put in another amend
ment cutting out the $500 salary raise
Cor Tracy. The bill got through the
Senate. it is said, on a trade of votes
by which Herman l.. Ekern, deputy in
Surance commissioner, is to get 500
raise in salary. 1t is predicted that
there will be another fight when the bill
comes up again.
Gen. Otto Falk, Judge Paul d. Car
penter and A. L. Van ScOy, members OF
the legislative committee of the Mer.
chants and Manufacturers association OF
Milwaukee, came to Madison this morn
ing to work against the bill granting
home rule to Milwaukee. The measure
has been passed in the Senate and or
dered to third reading in the Assembly.
Therefore it only awaits final passage in
the Assembly and will be on tOmorroWs
calendar
For Teachers Pension.
The Stout bill for the creation of u
state teachers retirement fund was adj
vanced in the Assembly, with an amend

out the clause by which the state con-
tributes annually 10 cents for every child
of school age toward the creation of the
fund and appropriates instead $4,000 a
year from the general fund for the teach

AGAINST
BLOCKADES

The Hammond police are now inau-
gurating a crusade against livery men
Of the city and contractors who have
been violating the city ordinance
against blockading the streets Persons
living in the vicinity Of the places have
been complaining % the fact that the
wagons left outside at night are not
only blockading the streets. but the
wagons and other vehicles scattered
about are unsightly objects
The liverymen especially are scored
for this violation Of the city ordinance
because on many occasions they have
more vehicles than they are able to
take care Of. and consequently they ara
forced TO leave them in the streets
The police have been investigating
this matter. and have resolved to make
them clear the streets or suffer prose
cution. Captain Hanlon has notified all
of them that they Will have to live up
TO this ordinance in the future.

RUNAWAY
RACES OVER
The STREETS

The Paulson Tea and Coffee company
had a bad runaway at $50 last night
when the team Of horses. frightened on
Calumet avenue. started down that
street, turned up Fayette and finally
raced down the Monon tracks from
Fayette to Sibley. In spite of the fact
that the wagon bumped over the ties at
a terrific rate and narrowly missed
hitting several poles, there was no par
ticlar damage done to either horses
or wagon
The driver Of the wagon maintains
that the horses were frightened by
small boys while they We're standing
quietly in the street at Calumet avenue.
Several times as the wagon turned the
corners it almost toppled over as il
swung around on two wheels.
When the Monon tracks were reached
the team started down the ties to Sib-
| ley street, when one of the horses fell
down and they We're easily held. Pack
ages Of coffee and tea were scattered
along the tracks and street, and al
, though some of them were broken open
/ the company suffered but little loss A
! big crowd witnessed the runaway.

LOCAL HEALTH MAN
GETS THE REPORT
DR.. w. D. Weis Hears From
Lake Michigan Water
Commission.
REPORT HAS MANY FACTS
Book Is a Valuable One and of Much
Interest to Those Con-
cerned.

Dr. W. D. Weis, secretary of the
Hammond board of health, has received
a number of copies of the first report
Of the Lake Michigan water commits
sion.
He has taken an active part in the
work of the commission, and the ex-
haustive report was possible only
through the efforts of men like him
self, who were willing to devote their
own time, to solve the problem Of pure
drinking water for Hammond.
The report contains all facts and fig
ures ascertained by J. H. Brewster last
year at the time when he made a thor
ough investigation of the situation in
the Calumet region at the instigation
Of the health boards in Hammond
whiting and East Chicago.
While the report touches on the
situation all around the lake, by faI
the largest portion of the report is
devoted to the condition and it's cause
in the Calumet region. 1t is a valuable
book, especially to those who would
better acquaint themselves with one
Of the greatest problems in northern
Lake county Every city official Should
know the needs Of his community from
scientific standpoint, as well as from
the practical side.

Hammond?

Is the intense heat causing so many
OF the people of Hammond to lose their
neighborly love?
most unusual number of clothes
line" cases have been filed and tried in
the justice courts of Hammond in the
last two weeks, and there seems to
be but one psychological reason-the
heat.
Yesterday in Judge Prest's court
there were hve of these cases disposed
OF at this single bar of justice. All
We're OF the same origin, an insignif-
cant wrangle, some of them got to
the stage of assault and battery and
others went no further than provoca-
ton, but in every case where the tenn
per got the best of the men or wo-
mems (mostly women) temper a severe
fine was imposed ~ the court
FIRST among these cases in prom
lnence was that of Sarah Gobitz. the
daughter of a State street saloonkeeper.
and her neighbor, Mrs. Ada Mel.
Says Sarah Is Too Friendly.
The evidence in this case showed that
/ that Mrs. Mel charged Sarah with be-
Ing too friendly with her husband.
Sarah resented the charge with strong
I and impressive words. Then Mrs. Mel
! forthwith struck Miss Gobitz in the
ensuing controversy. Judge Prest
! found Sarah guilt of assault and bat
terry and fined her s1460. A warrant
was then sworn out by Miss Gobitz
against Mrs. Mel charging her with
| assault and battery. and the judge as
sessed the same fine against her.
Another case of this character was
that in which Margaret Biegel accused
Mrs Mary Boyden Of assault and bat
terry In substance this anafr was
brought into court because Mrs. Boy
den assaulted Mrs. Bfegel because Mrs.
Biegel called Mrs. Boyden bad names
and because Mrs. Boyden said Mrs. Bic
gel had stolen her chickens The de-
fendant was fined 1880 by Judge Prest.
Thereupon Mrs. Boyden appeared be-
fore Judge Jones of Whiting and swore
out an affidavit against Mrs. iBegel
charging her with provocation. and the
case will be tried this evening. Both
are residents of Roby in the vicinity of
the ice houses.
Another woman, Mrs Katherine Bes-
sen, seeks to have another neighbor,
Charles Borem placed under a peace
bond, because he has continually in
suited and threatened to do her bodily
injury. according to her story. 1t is
believed that this case will be settled
tomorrow by Borem's pleading guilty to
provocation to save further trouble.
Theodore Waminiski, the East Ham.
mond baker, also came in for share
Of the provocation fines today, for u.s.
ing too much sass to Constable Chas
Merryweather. The defendant has
caused considerable trouble about the
city lately in various suits and was
given stiff fine to the extent of $3.50

then turned them over to the tender

no one spoke and all that could be
heard was the sound Of the gloves

tenth Kane slid a straight left over on
