VICTORY
FOR SISTER-IN-LAW
Goshen the Scene of Latest
Triumph in Game Mares
Enviable Record.

Sisterin-Law. W. J. MacAleer,s
splendid trotting mare, was crowned
with more glory yesterday at Goshen
when she won three straight heats ~
the 2:3O trot. Her time in the three
meats, respectively. was 2s1z. 22H and
2lA This in spite of the fact thai
she had to take fourth place and was
compelled to race against a field of
ten She was driven by Vernon Nc
Glrr, who also drove her in her other
races
This far sister-in-Law has won
races at Laporte, Crown Point. yaIna- :
raiso and now at Goshen. II is verv
likely that her owner will enter her
for the Bremen races and the Kendall
vile races, after which she will he
taken to Springfield. III. where she
viii be entered in a $1,000 stake event
Her Springfield race will undoubtedly
be her hardest race but her MANY ad
mirers feel confident that she will be
able to step with the best Of them. IN
the last heat yesterday she walked mn
der the wire. and would not have had
70 reduce her time as much as she did
mad 1t not been for the fact that Marion
Lee, horse which had a previous mark
OF ZIG q. was entered in the 23O trot.
Marion Lee made its mark SO recently
that this did not interfere with its en-
try at Goshen.
To follow his mare around the cir
cult is the way Mr.. MacAleer spends
his vacation, and to say that he is en-
Joying his vacation is putting it mild
ly.
The fact that Marion Lee won a 50
600 purse at the Indiana state fair
and established the record Of 2:16H is
what makes the performance Of Sister
in-aw in beating her all the more re-
markable
Attorney MacAleer says that he is
going to try to keep his mare in the
2;3o class and keep out of the 20 class
this year If it is possible to do so.
He now values the horse at from s3.5oo
to $4,000. and believes that she is the
best green mare in hte state.
Next year she will be raced I'm all of
the big circuits over the state and
there will be chance to make great
cleaning with her then.

that the affidavits from the Jurors and

that Stathacopolous was convicted a.

The story of Stathacopolous' pro-
spective pardon was printed exclusive
ly in THE TIMES last evening and was
of great interest to those who have
been working in behalf of the inpris-

With the stain of sentence for

THREE
COURTS NOT
PRACTICAL

Judge Greenlee of the firm of Green
lee & Call, who on Monday attended
caiF day at the opening of the Sep
temoer term Of the Lake Superior
court, said yesterday that the court
docket was congested in a most de-
plorable manner and expressed his be-
lief that in place of relief there was
a still worse condition of affairs in
sight.
When asked as to what method he
would recommend in relieving the sit
uation. he said:
There is only on practicable way to
relieve the congestion in the courts OF
Lake county and that is to secure an
extra judge at the superior court and
continuous term of the circuit court
at Crown Point. The idea of trying
TO establish three courts in one coun-
ty is impracticable and too foolish to
consider"
In looking at this matter in an un-
preJudiced manner, and from the view
point of the lawyer, the esta blishment
of three courts in this county would
make it impossible for one lawyer TO
properly tend to his business. 1t would
necessitate having at least two asso
eiates for every lawyer. and at least
one of these associates would have to
be trial lawyer and not merely ste
nographer and office boy

fight of THE TIMES against three courts
In one county. and if this matter ever
comes up again 1 will certainly take
the same position. While living at Ell

dition to the one at Anderson. prefer
ing to move my business to Anderson
rather than to complicate business by

HAMMOND
IN LUCK. To
RETAIN HIM

Il want to congratulate the people OF
Hammond" said a prominent business
man to the Rev. w F. Switzer. pastor
Of the First Methodist church. this
morning as he met him on the street
Mr.. Switzer returned last evening
from downstate visit after having
been at the Charlottesville conference,
which closed last Monday.
The news of his closeness to a dis
trict superintendency preceded him to
/ Hammond. and while his many friends
would have wished him godspeed on
such mission, they are glad TO have
him back since he will work for some
time to come as a pastor Mr. Switzer.
too. evidently prefers TO be in Ham
| mond than anywhere else, as can be
judged when it is known that other
desirable pastorates were offered him.
Wants Hard and Active Work.
7 prefer to work in a territory
where there is room for growth and
expansion, where there is plenty Of
work in the way Of upbuilding and
organization. To me such a place Is
lar more desirable than to sit down
peacefully in place where everything
mas been running on smoothly for
years said Mr. Switzer.
When the friends of Mr.. Switzer be-
gan to boost him for district super
intendency and he finally consented not
to interfere, it was not for any personal
honor or the possibility of easier work
that prompted him. The superintend-
ency, If reached, would very likely
have placed him in charge of the
Greencastle district, and being located
there. his two daughters would have
had an excellent opportunity Of at
tending Depauw university. Only in
that light did he permit his friends
TO continue their work in his behalf.
Against Church Policy.
That he was not placed in charge
Of the superintendency is due solely
to the policy that Bishop Goodsell
maintains in discouraging any efforts
to promote two brothers in succession
to the superintendency The Hammond
mans brother had been superintendent
or the I4afaye It's d4Htiiet. BUT has been
retired for a year owing to his health.
1t would have been against Bishop
Goodsells policy then to place the
Hammond man in charge of the Green
castle district, much as he would have
liked to. 1t is understood that this
policy is maintained principally to |
avoid any factional trouble which might |
arise on the charge of collusion in |
keeping superintendency in a fam
lily.
