No MORE
SAND INTO
WOLF RIVER
Lake Shore Railroad Noti-
fed Officially of Injunc-
tion Against Dumping in
Stream The Courts In
tervene.

Deputy Sheriff George Blocki went
TO the lake front in Hammond this
morning to serve notice on the Lake
Shore railroad officials that they have
been enjoined from dumping any more
sand into the harbor at Wolf river.
This papers were served in spite OF
the fact that Mayor Lawrence Becker
said he had an understanding with the
railroad that they would fill in only so
much" of the harbor
Becker would have the people Of
Hammond believe that he went down
to Roby and marked. with the toe OF
his shoe, the exact place where the
road should stop filing.
The facts are that the railroad will
fill up to the mark set by Becker and
then some bright morning there viii
be an accident along the line and the
people of the north side will wake up
to find that their harbor is filed with
sand and closed forever.
But the courts have intervened where
Becker refused. If Becker thought the
people would take him at his word
when he is alleged to have promised
that the railroad could fill in part. but
not all OF the harbor he was mistak-
en-. for E. A. Shedd and C. B. Shedd
went right ahead and had an injuno-
tion issued and today Deputy Sheriff
Blecki is serving it on the foxy COR
niving railroad officials.

It's Wealth.

ing Home.
Members Think 1t Could Not Be Bet

The question of investing its accumu-
lating funds took up the greater part
of last evening, for the regular meet
ing Of the Hammond Saengerbund FL
della. Owing to the large number Of
shares that have been subscribed for.
there is a continuous stream of money
which the members believe they can
invest to better advantage than mere
ly putting it out at 3 per cent interest
Various temporary Investments were
discussed accordingly. and the building
and loan plan seemed to meet with con-
siderable favor
Some Of the members are still IN
hopes that the first building operations
for the new CLUB house can begin next
spring, but the majority seem to prefer
TO hold back until the ready money
can be turned over for the building.
Has Done Remarkably Well.
In it's short campaign for its own
home. the society has done remarkably
well, taking into consideration the fact
that the movement was begun when
business was stagnant. In the mean
time, however. most desirable loca-
tion on Muenich court. opposite the Ma
sonic temple, has been purchased for
$500. which could already have been
sold at a good profit. This lot is paid
for. and $4,000 in cash have accumu-
lated.
The enthusiasm for the home IS
growing, and with the return OF pros
perity an attempt will be made to col
lect as much Of the money as possible
with the idea of building Immediately
thereafter.

LEAGUE
WILL KEEP
HANDS OFF

The Indiana Anti Saloon League has
made its last big county option fight
for some time to come. 1t is expected
by the officers of the league that with
in a few months most or all of the eight
counties, which are now dry" by re-
monstrance. will hold elections. but lit
tie or no contest is expected in these
counties on the other hand, the re-
naming nine counties will not be a bat
tie ground for the league, at least until
the chances of winning look good
deal better than they do now.
E. S. Shumaker state superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League. said yes
terday that of the remaining seventeen
counties where no elections have been
held nine look hopeless" at present
from the standpoint of the league, and
he and the other officers of the league
are of the opinion that to allow the
temperance people of these counties to
force elections would be detrimental to
the cause in Indiana. The nine coun-
ties in questions are:
Marion. Lake Vanderburg.
St. Joseph. Vigo Perry.
Allen. Dubois. Dearborn.

uncompleted on the left arm of Byron
Fluno Of Charlotte street yesterday Mr.
Fluno is at the hospital and doing
comparatively well. Taking into con-
sideration the fact that his health has
not been of the best, his condition is
exceptionally good. In a gunshot wound
of that nature there is always more
or less danger of tetanus. but the
philosophic almost stoical nature of the
patient will do more to avert 1t and re
store his health anything else, barring
good medical care.
A limited number of friends are al

De- spite her four hour ordeal of yester- day she was prepared to fight her way through another long mass of accusa- tions and she brilliantly parried the thrusts of Prosecuting Judge De valles who under the. French law is also the prosecuting officer.
 Long before the time for the trial the courtyard was filled to overfowing with d crowd anxious to see the Red Widow under the ordeal The oftc- CTS admitted only the prescribed one hundred to the courtroom however.
 When Presiding Judge De valles re- sNmed his examination of Madame Steinheil she immediately resorted to her tactics of yesterday. She became in turn pitiful and menacing, implor- ing and fearful

 Madame Steinheil gained the sympa- thy of many of the spectators when in answer to De valles's accusations that her stories of the tragedy do not agree she retorted:
 My examination was a martyrdom- When a poor weak woman has been for seven hours a day for many days under the badsering of a magistrate you are guilty I known you killed your mother When your mind is tortured and her spirit broken contra dfctions are not unnatural"

A remonstrance against the transfer of an old liquor license to Leonardo Pirozzoli. at 157 Linen avenue. was presented at hearing held before the County Commissioners. this morning. The petition against the proposed transfer was circulated in the neigh borhood by a Mrs. Ellen Fahey. who has a grocers license at 113 Linen ave nue. There were some 30 names on the remonstrance. but only about one fifth of that number appeared. Raphael SloSberg. who owns a tenement at 1O4 Linen avenue. stated that in the neigh which he thought would be built up- on if there were not so many saloons in the locality. 'T have" he said. ga four family tenement. with all inn provements. The people come and look at my house. and say All right say Tt must be a bum place The children go out on the street to play. hear the buns talk. and come back into the house and repeat the same language"
 A Matthew Connors. who resides at 61 Jones avenue. said that he was opposed to the license being granted as he did not want to see the business of Mrs. Fahey effected. James s. Mo Namara of 105 Linen avenue. was an- other one who was opposed to the granting of the license. "Why." he said. ssthere are nine saloons in the neighborhood, which I could make in four minutes walk There are already too many in the locality" The wit ness stated that he had often made the rounds of the nine stations. He also opposed the granting of the li- cense to the proposed saloon because he considered that 1t would be an evil influence for his two girls.

Hastford. Nov. 4That Mrs. Lucinda Treat Goddard, the 74-year-old bride of R. C.. Goddard of the Yale Law School, aged q, had shown no inca pacity for handling her affairs was the opinion expressed by Judge Marvin at the conclusion of the hearing in the Probate couort yesterday. Mrs. God dard's son wanted a conServator over his mother. because he feared that his boyish stepfather might dissipate his mothers fortune. A final decision has yet to be made by the court.
 The case has attracted such wide spread publicity that Judge Marvin. addressing the attorneys, expressed the hope that in the future members of the bar would avail themselves of the privilege of having such matters de- cided by a committee While the court was satisfied regarding Mrs. Goddard's business ability. still. it said that conservators have been appointed when there was merely a possibility of the development of incapacity Whether or not Mrs. Goddard should be deprived of the right to control her property on this one ground is tht point which he will determine today.
