LAKE COUNTY MAY GET
ANOTHER Representative
Proposed Legislative Apportonment Would Enable This
County to Gain in It's Representation
at State Capital

among the members of the legislature
showing the voting population of the
counties of the state in order that they
may be given their proper representa-
tion in the senate and the house The
tables accompanying the maps show
that there are a total of 72S,162 white
and 1906 colored voters in the state.
The average population of each con-
gressional district is 57.S25, the aver
age for each senatorial district is H.
so5 and the average for each represent
ative district is half of this, or 7.452
Under the constitution the Legislature
is required to as nearly as is practical
follow the rule of giving the various
counties representation in proportion
to their population.
Lake county. with Gary and other
growing cities up there. now has a vot-
ng population of nearly 10000 There
are 19.4s4 whites and So negroes, and
has joint senator with Porter coun-
ty, which has voting population OF
5.25S. The population of Lake county
would entitle it to two representatives
instead of one, also to senator of its
own and to one joint senator
Marion county would gain one sena-
tor and one representative and vigo
county would gain one representative

SHOW IS QUITE
POORLY PATRON|zED
"Man From Home" Draws
Poor House Last Night
at Towles.
HALL IN THE STELLAR ROLE
Best Attractions on Stage Come tc
Hammond To Be Sadly Dis
appointed.

sThe Man From Home,- with Henry
Hall in the stellar role, In which VIII
T. Hodge has made such a reputation,
came TO Hammond last evening and
failed to attract theater-gOers, who
seems to be crying for more Bon ton
GirIies or another seance of Boston
Bellies.
OF course, the crowd which did at
tend was pleased with the show and
those who have seen the inimitable VIII
T. Hodge say that Mr.. Hall comes as
near to Hodges art as could be ex-
pected.
A great many people stayed away for
fear that that Hall would be a failure,
but in this presumption they were
wrong and they missed one of he best
shows that has come to Hammond re-
Gently.
Ashamed to Settle with Them.
Manager Nye says that he was
ashamed to settle with the manager of
the show Hammond is the center of
a population of $4,000 people and is
getting attractions that are equal to
those which are shown in cities like
indianapolis. South Bend and Grand
Rapids and yet the public fails to sup
port them.
But Manager .Nye is not going to give
up yet. He expects to have the Isle
of Spice with first rate company
and number of other good attrac-
tions. He thinks it is question OF
educating the people.
He is also planning to have more
! shows on week. nights. and on nights
in the latter part of the week so thai
those who are averse to going to show:
on Sunday may have the opportunity
of patronizing them.
/ AS soon as the people Of Hammond
| whiting. East Chicago and Indians
Harbor become convinced that they car
| get as good attractions in Hammond
as they can in Chicago they will giv'
the local theaters their patronage Ant
! if they don't it is Uncle Toms Cabin

DRY" LAWYER IN CITY
Vim. Matthews Adds Ner.
vousness to the Saloon
keepers Troubles.

William Matthews of Plymouth, the
attorney who represents the Anti-Sa-
loon League in this territory, was in
Hammond this morning looking for At
torney Otto Bruce, the local representa-
tive of the Anti Saloon League.
When asked if the Anti-saloon
League was about to get busy in this
locality Mr. Mathews said that he knew
of no contemplated activity. He was
asked if he expected Judge Virgil S.
Reiter to render his decision in the
Calumet township saloon cases soon
and he said that he had no ieda when
that decision would be rendered.
The saloon interests, however. al
ways get nervous when Mr.. Matthews
comes to the city. and they will not
have their peace of mind restored un-
til he is out of the city again.
Mr.. Matthews was the attorney who
represented Rev. George Deuel. and the
demonstrators in the local option fight
at Crown Point when the liquor busi-
ness in Calumet township was dealt 9
body blow.

GOV. MARSHALL IS OPPOSED
s To EXECUTIVE MANSION BILL
State Executive Says Indiana Is Not in Financial Con-
dtion at Present Time to Support and Keep
Up $15O,OOO House.

that If the state decides at all to
build house for the governor $4,000
to $4,000 would be enough to spend
on it. That sum of money would put
up house plenty good enough for any
governor and one that he could main
tain on his salary. II the people should
elect millionaire as governor of the
state and he did not wish to live in
such a house that would be his busi-
ness. He could take a larger and fin
er house if he was willing to pay for it
himself
The people Of the state are paying
all the taxes they should be required to
pay. Taxes should be decreased in
stead of increased. My own personal
views with reference to an appro-
prfation for a house for the governor
are right in line with the policy OF
economy that have recommended in
my message.

Moines Buildings.

Des Moines, April 2S.-Shortly be,
fore midnight the fire department
was called to the Body block to ex
tinguish a blaze which had broken
out in the ruins of the upper stories
of the Meek building. Evidently de
bris from the fire of the preceding
night had been smouldering for hours
and finally burst forth in flames. The
firemen were Lusy for an hour eXtin
gushing the blaze, which did not
spread beyond the already ruined

Return From New York.

Des Moines, April 2S.-In order to
assure the raising of the 5000 which
must be subscribed by the people OF
Iowa in order that they may avail
themselves of the $4,000 appropriat.
ion made by the Iowa legislature for
the pedestal for the proposed. Allison
monument, the friends and admirers
of the late senator will probably be
given an opportunity soon to have
their names inscribed upon an honor
roll.
At present as the result of the first
subscription of funds, State Treas
urer Morrow has on hand S2,6So.43
Some money is yet to be sent to Des
Moines, but il is not thought that the
total will reach more than $4,000.
Gen. Granville NJ. Dodge, of Council
Bluffs, who has charge of the work OF
raising funds for the monument in
Iowa, is at present in New York, and
when he returns the plan favored by
others interested in the movement
will be submitted for his approval. II
Is probable that 1000 residents of the
state will be asked to contribute $lU
each, or that 5000 will be asked to
give Sc each, in order to raise the
desired amount. 1t is not anticipated
than any difficulty will. be encounter

when an organized campaign is once
begun.

AGED MAN OUT AS BURGLAR
GRAVEYARD CAUGHT WITH THE
GOODS ON"
Marshalitown Police Believe Burglars
Have Come to Operate During
Sunday Meetings.

tMarshalltown, la, April 2S.-Caught
red-handed, at least so far as the
goods are concerned, if not in the act,
was the experience of a man who
claims to be- c. Meyers, OF Chicago,
60 years old, and gray OF both beard
and hair. x
For a week Marshalltown has been
experiencing an unusual epidemic OF
burglaries. A dozen houses have been
raided within the week and until last
night no clue of the thief or thieves
has been, known.
John Moore looked through the win
dow of his next door neighbor, the Rev.
J. Auracher, pastor OF the State Street
United Evangelical church, and saw
what appeared to be regularity IN
the lighting of matches. He was also
able to discern the shadow OF a man
prowling about in the darkness. Moore
telephoned the police, and in the auto
patrol two officers responded shortly
after the man was seen to leave the
Auracher home. The man was placed
under arrest, and today was held to
the grand jury under $1,000 bonds az
ter waving examination.
One other residence in the same
part of town was entered last night,
and two more on Saturday night. The
Rev. Mr. Auracher identified a purse
containing $3.50 as coming from his
home, also pair of gloves found in
Meyers possession. Meyers had a
set of skeleton keys in his pockets and
several valuable pieces Of jewelry, be-
sides other money. The police fear
that Meyers arrest will not end the
burglaries, for they believe that there
! is a gang of thieves here to operate
during the Billy" Sunday meetings
while homes are left without occu
lpants.
