THIEF FINDS THE
HOUSEHOLD AWAKE
Midnight Marauder Is Dis
appointed at the F. S.
Betz Domicile.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank S. Betz are of the
opinion that an attempt was made to
break into their house night before
last. Irving Betz had just come home
and had gone to his room when some
one was heard trying the front door.
The theory that Mr.. Betz has of the
affair is that the burglar, if such he
was, tried the door while Irving was in
the house so that he would not attract
so much attention.
Mr.. Betz was reused out of his slum-
bers and started toward the front door
with a stone about two inches in dia-
meter as a.weapon. Irving Betz picked
up a hand painted vase, which he in
tended to use in case it came to an en-
counter with the intruder.
Mrs. Betz says it is fortunate for her
that no one was found. for the chances
are that Mr. Betz would have thrown
the stone through the plate glass win
dow and Irving would have broken the
vase over his head, and she does not
see how an ordinary burglar could get
away with goods of equal value be-
! fore the police would be on their trail

Thomas Hardy and His Philosophy
will be the object of very interest
ing paper and discussion before the

lish novelist as the greatest philosoph-
er that ever lived, but he will undoubt-
edly leave a pleasing impression of
this plain writer. who likes to speak
and dwell on the common people.
Thomas Hardy and his writings are
at present the subject of considerable
literary criticism, the study of which
will be greatly stimulated by the ses-
sion tonight.

TAKE NEW HOME
ON JUNE FIRST
Bank and Realty Company
Will Occupy Quarters
Together.

June first at the latest will find the
Lake County Savings & Trust company
in its new home in the Commercial
Bank building. 1t is possible, however,
that the removal may take place earl
ier. In the interim, however, radical
changes will be made on the ground
floor of the Commercial Bank build
ing. While the plans are not completed
as yet for the change, it is thought
that the entrances to the main floor
will be changed. ! Is probable that
there will be one on State street and
another on Holman street.
VIII Necessitate Changes.
This of course would also necessi-
tate a change of the lights Whatever
the plans may call for the changes
will be made regardless of expense. and
there is this assurance, that by the
time the Lake County Savings & Trust
company moves into its new home thai
it will be a modern and up-to-date one
A complete set of new fixtures will
add to the interior beauty of the IN.
stitution. There will be ample room
for both the Lake County Savings &
Trust company and the Gostlin & MeyT
rea lestate firm. both of which concern.
will occupy the main floor.

GAS METERS ROBBED
South Shore Gas & Electric
Company Is Badly
Victimized.
Especial to TIE Trnrs.l

East Chicago. Ind, Feb. "a. The
South Shore Gas and Electric company
has been victimized hundreds OF times
by an unknown thief who has made
his speciality the robbing 25-cent gas
meters. The identity of the thief be-
came known today through the arrest
of Thomas Hughes of South Chicago
former employe of the company. who
was caught red-handed in the act OF
robbing the meter in the basement OF
the home Of officer John Ford.
In fact, this is but one OF the dar-
ing feats that have been performed by
Hughes since he quit the employ OF
the gas company on two occasions
he robbed the meters in the rear OF
the South Shore Gas company's own
office. on Michigan avenue in Indiana
Harbor
Early in June the thefts were first
discovered and a complaint was made
tc the police. IN all It has been esti-
mated that 500 has been stolen by
Hughes. The gas company has tho
names OF scores Of business men in the
various cities OF the region, who have
been robbed BY Hughes.
The South Chicago man is now lodged
in the East Chicago jail, and will be
bound over on the charge of grand lar
ceny.

WON'T GIVE UP FIGHT
Hammond Justices Of the
Peace See No Hope for
Their Bill.

The pressure of business among the
legislators at the state capital is all
that prevents the consideration and
possibly the passage of the bill au-
thorizing clerks of superior courts to
issue marriage licenses.
Judge Kaske and Judge Prest re-
turned from indianapolis last evening
and state that they had not been in the
metropolis Of the state an hour before
they saw that it would be impossible
for them to attempt to pass the meas
ure, which they believe is so deserving
of passage.

CARS FROZEN
TO SIDE TRACKS
Lake Michigan Waves Play
Havoc at Lake Front
Park.

Between thirty and fifty cars are
frozen to the sidetracks in the yards
of the Chicago, Lake Shore and Eastern
railroad in the vicinity of the Hammond
pumping station at Robertsdale.
The yards of this railroad have been
built out into the lake by the dump
ing of a large quantity of Stag into
the lake at this point. There were
a number of cars on the side tracks
near the lake when the recent storm
came up.
The water washed over the cars and
that which flooded over the tracks
froze AS a result the cars are frozen
to the rails so effectually that It
would take a dozen engines to pull
one of them out.
The cars will be compelled to re-
main where they are until spring
loosens the brakes and permits the
wheels to turn Several Hammond
photographers have been over on the
lake front making pictures of the i'm
prisoned cars.
The observation has been made that
if one of the cars caught on fire il
would be almost impossible to save al
of the imprisoned cars.

ASH WEDNESDAY
BEGINS SERVICES
High Mass Is Said in Local
Catholic Churches This
Morning.
COMMEMORATE AN Event
Program of Forty Day Period of Alb
stinence Will Be Proper
ly Observed.

This being Ash Wednesday, the be-
ginning of Lent was appropriately OBJ
served in the Catholic churches today.
High mass was said in every church
this morning at o'clock at which the
cross of ashes was distributed. The
dis tribution of the ash cross is a cere-
mony which has been observed for
many centuries in the Catholic church.
The ashes are obtained from palms
which are blessed on Palm Sunday and
are distributed on Ash Wednesday in
the shape of a small cross on the fore
head to remind the faithful Of the
teaching that man was created from
dust and that his body will return tc
dust. Lental services will be held in
the Catholic church every Wednesday
and Friday evening. In smaller con-
gregations where people live farther
apart, only the Friday evening services
are held. At these Lental services the
way of the cross is said in commemora
ton of the suffering of Christ on hi;
way from the Garden of Gethsemane
TO Mt. Calvary, including his cruel
fixion and burial.
The Lental sesaon extends over ;
period of forty days. beginning will

DEFECTS
MUST Be
RENED|ED
State Building Inspector
Makes Visit to Hammond
and Finds That Some Con-
struction Work in Thea
ters Is Faulty.

Hammond theaters must comply with
the building laws of the state and the
city. This edict went out this morn
ing from the board of public works to
the FIRE chief, who will make a per-
sonal investigation as to the safety of
the Hammond play-houses.
The state building inspector was in
Hammond last Monday and found many
defects in nearly all of the local the
aters. The greatest danger lies in the
exits and in the wiring. While nearly
all the theaters have sufficient exits.
not all of them have the exit doors
swinging outward This is one defect
which must be remedied Immediately.
Where there is danger of crossed wires,
changes will also have to be made i'm
mediately
Hammond Has One Ordinance.
Hammond has a theater ordinance
which is sufficiently stringent, which
if lived up to, will furnish ample
safety even in case of a fire or a pan
| ic. The action of the city officials to
make the theaters more safe meets
with the general approval Of the pub
( lie, and the needed changes it is
| thought can be brought about without
any great cost to the owners anc
Iessees of the buildings.

FIRE N WHITING PIPE

Whiting. Ind, Feb. 24--The myster-

The petroleum flowed from the pipe

origin of Fire a Mystery.

There are as yet no clues as to the
cause Of the break or how the oil be-
came SO speedily ignited. but the fact
that the fire started almost immedi-
ately subsequent tp the escaping of the
oil. gives ground for the belief that
the same hand that brought about the
break ignited the oil and that it was a
carefully prepared plot to work havoc
either to the company or the sur
rounding country. Suspicion, however
as yet points to no one
The authorities of the company's
pumping station at Wilmington state
that they are unable to advance any
reason for the break how the oil be-
came ignited, or the loss to the com
pany. They assert. however, that many
thousands of gallons must have escaped
and that the loss will be heavy.

MONON IS JERKEO UP
Old Offender Is Notified by
the Board of Public
Works.

The Monon railroad. the ancient Of
fender against public decency in Ham
mond, is again to be called on the car
pet by the board of public works Not
enough that the company disgraces the
city with shanty of a depot, it is per-
hitting its right-of-way, just south OF
State street leading up to the depot
to lie in a mire and morass. which
makes it practically impassable
For this reason the board of pub
lie works has ordered the city clerk
to cite the company's engineers before
the board in order he make an ex-
planation and take immediate action
to remedy this nuisance.

Power Off Again.

The Hammond. Whiting & East Chi
cago street railway cars were put out
of commission for nearly an hour this
morning on account of trouble that the
South Chicago city railway had with
its power station at South Chicago.
The power which is used by the
Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago
line is purchased from the South Chi
cago and Calumet electric lines power
house. This service has been very un-
reliable in the past and it is under
stood that the officials OF the local
line are becoming very tired of the
delays that have been caused from
this source.
