Famous High Voltage Case Decided
This Morning By Judge
I'll. B. Tuthill
GARY BARRIERS
To TAKE CASE
TO HAMMOND

The BARRIERS of Gary. in accordance
with their announcement some time
ago, have filed the case against Frank
P. Deem on the charge of running the
shop on Sunday, in Hammond. The case
came up for trial several days ago in
the Gary courts but was nolle pressed
by the state because of the fact that
they thought the jury which had been
selected would not convict the defend
ents.
The case will now be tried in a few
days in the Hammond municipal court
before Special Judge Henderson. 1t was
at first decided to try 1T in the super
ior court but it was thought that it
would come to trial quicker in the city
court.
The BARRIERS announce that they will
pust the case against the barber to
the limit, because of his violation OF
their working rules. Deem, however
declares that he was justified because
of the fact that they all violated the
rules more or less and he felt that OF
they were broken in one instance they
could be broken at all times.
The complainant in the case is Harry
Hardenbrook. an officer of the Master
BARRIERS association.

SOUTH SHORE WILL
CONTINUE TO FIGHT
Attorney L. L. Bomberger
Will File an Amended
Complaint.
WANT TO SHUT OUT G. AND |
Company Says it Does Not Want to
Monopolize Town, But Argues
Part is Improbable.

City Attorney Bomberger of Gary.
who also represents the Chicago, Lake
shore and South Bend railroad, stated
yesterday that he intended to fight the
franchise granted to the Gary and In
terurban by the town board of Tolles-
ton Recently the attorneys for the
competing road filed an injunction
against the company building through
Toueston on the grounds that the
board had agreed not to award another
franchise in the city for five years. The
injunction was overruled by Judge
Reiter.
Mr.. Bomberger will now file an
amended complaint, and the case will
again be fought out in court He con
tends that it is not the intention of
the company which he represents to
monopolize the street car traffic in the
city but that it would be unprofta Bile
for two companies to operate in that
city at its present size.
1t is not known at what time this
matter will be heard in court. now that
the amended complaint has been filed.
The Gary and Interurban will. how
ever proceed with their ARRANGEMENTS
to construct their road from Gary to
Hammond at once.

TRUST co.
TO MOVE
IN 4 WEEK

After numerous delays it now seems
certain that the Lake County Savings
and Trust company will be moved into
the new quarters in the Commercial
Bank building a week from next Sat
urday
The last obstacle was due to the fact
that there are no draymen in the city
who have wagons big enough to haul
the massive vault equipment, which
has been shipped into the city, and is
waiting at the depot to be hauled to
the new location.
The officials of the Lake County Saw
ings and Trust company will be hap
py lot of men when the business. which
has grown to such PROPORTIONS in the
State street location, is finally moved
to the splendid corner in the remod-
eled building.

B|JOU THEATRE IS
TO BE ENLARGED
Popular Playhouse Has
Been So Successful That
It Must Be Enlarged.
WILL Be DOUBLED IN SIZE
Manger Craick is Making Plans and
Estimates For
Furniture.
WILL Be DOUBLED IN SIZE.

The Bijou theater, which has had the
most phenomenal success during its
short season in the city. is to be en-
larged to seat ZOO people. The plans
for the enlargement were announced
by Manager william Craick this morn
ing. All of the stores in the front of
the building will be torn out and the
space convernted into an enlarged au-
ditorium.
Ever since the new theater started
the patronage has been so great that
it has been practically impossible to
handle the crowds. Time and again it
has been necessary to turn away those
who would see the entertainment.
Has Been Great Success.
The project has succeeded beyond the
fondest dreams of its promoters. The
people of Hammond have demonstrated
in the case of this theater and of 9TH
ers, that it will patronize a high class
vaudeville.
The present seating capacity of the
theater is about $50 and will be prac-
ticaIly doubled. When the improve
ments are made and the seating capac-
ity is increased the bill of vaudeville
acts will be made even more attractive
than it is now.
Mr. Craick is having plans and esti-
mates made now and he finds that the
cost of making the change will not be
very great The project will also be
much more profitable to him for the
reason that with very little more ex-
pense the management Will be able to
accommodate twice the crowd
Mr. Craick has a plan for providing
vaudeville entertainment in a tent
during the summer season while the
work of remodeling his theater is go
ing on The new theater will be one
of the finest in the region when it j.

J.H. G|LLEIT
FILES HIS
ANSWER
Former Supreme Court Jur-
list Reveals Some of the
Alleged Methods That
Gary demonstrators Had
in Getting Signatures.

Attorney John H. Gillett represent
ing Theodore Binzen and James Scan
lon in the matter of their reappIication
for license to sell intoxicating IL
quors in Calumet township Lake
county. has filed an amended answer in
which he reveals some of the alleged
methods of Rev. George E. Deuel. in Sc
curing the signatures of demonstrators
WHAT HE ALLEGES.
The amended answer alleges that
Rev. George E. Deuel. who executed
said pretended remonstrance and the
persons who circulated said cards con-
spired. confederated and agreed with
each other that before hand they would
prepare individual powers of attorney.
with said Deuel. as attorney in fact. to
demonstrate generally against the traf-
hc in intoxicating liquors in Calumet
township.
MAKES SERIOUS CHARGES.
The serious charge that Judge Gillett
makes against Rev. George E. Deuel.
and his co-workers is that he repre-
sented to the persons who signed the
power of attorney that the purpose and
effect of the power of attorney was to
prevent any new saloons in the town OF
| Gary
He led them to suppose that they
knew the contents of said power of at
! torney, according to the amended an
swer, when in fact they were deceived
and mislead as to its contents
1t is further alleged that those who
were asked to sign the power of at
| torney cards were prevented from
learning the contents in many cases be.
! cause the type had been purposely beer
made so small that it could not be read
UNIQUE DISCLOSURE.
One of the most unique disclosure:
is the allegation in the amended answer
that John Upshur and John Prestor
were unable to either read or write.
The names of 81 signers of the power
of remonstrance cards is given in tn,
amended answer This list is exceed
ingly interesting and shows just wha
were the methods of the men who sue
ceeded in making Gary and Calume
township dry.
