Especial to THE TINES }

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Feb. "a
Charles e. Fowler, president of the
Boosters club, has issued a call for
special meeting of the club for We'd
nesday night al Cline's hall. The call
also includes an invitation to all pub
lie spirited citizens, whether members
or not, to be present to hear and par
ticipate in the discussion of the ad-
visibility of merging the cities of In
diana Harbor East Chicago, Whiting
and Hammond into one municipality.
A committee will probably be appoint

club Of Hammond, called for 1.-The pur-
pose, and to take place in Hammond
March q 1t is impossible to tell what
the sense of the meeting will be. but
it looks as though the scheme would
be favored by the live business men
and opposed by the more selfish poll
ticians. who are always on the look
out for No. l. first, last and all the
time. 1t Is expected that large at
tendance will be present tomorrow
night as this proposition appears at a
casual glance to be one of the most Of
the many important schemes which has
been presented to the Calumet district

BANKRUPTCY CASE UP
Referee j. o. Bowers Hears
Evidence in the Recht
Case.

The Solomon Reeht bankruptcy case
of Whiting was up for a hearing today
before Referee John O'Bowers. The
attorneys. Messrs. w. G. Hamilton Of
Chicago, Van Horne of Indiana Har-
Dor, w. E. Roe Of East Chicago and
Fred Barnett Of Hammond, spent the
greater part of the day wrangling
about the appointment of a trustee.
Finally they compromised on Charles
Surprise, deputy United States clerk
There are about $4,000 involved in the
estate, and Mr.. Surprise will begin al
once to give it his earnest attention
He hopes to realize at least so pei
cent for the creditors and possibly
more. 1t is also limited that there
may be few surprises in store for the
creditors. The various attorneys rep
resented at least 100 creditors.
In placing the estate in the hands
of Mr.. Surprise, the attorneys feel that
they have given 1t over not only to g
capable man, but also to one upor
whom they can absolutely rely upon fol
a square deal.

Imagine how that would sound to
Methodist preacher lobbying against
the liquor traffic in the legislature
Bowser was not to be paid in real
money for his services. He was paid
in influence and that influence was
used to pass the Gary court bill It
was that influence which made the
passage Of the Gary bill, which Gov

That is the explanation that the
Hammond capitalists who have investi-
gated Senator Bowser's interest in the
bill to require a $1,000 license for
brewery wagons which come across
the state line, make of his unheard of
action in opposing the Hammond in

SHALL MCCOY
HAVE FREEDOM?
Judge Tuthill to Decide His
Case by Saturday
Next.
is TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT
If Judge Says No, Rensselaer, Banker
Must Stay in Prison Until
June 10.

Michigan City, Ind. Feb. 2S.-After
an all-day argument Saturday in the
case of Thomas ]. Mccoy. a former
banker of Rensselaer,. who is serving
a one-to-three-year term in the state
prison against ]. D.. Reid, the state
prison warden, Judge H. B. Tuthill took
the matter under advisement until next
Saturday, when he will decide whether
Mccoy shall have his freedom or re-
main in prison until June 10 next.
Mccoy petitioned the court a week ago
for writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that he was illegally held be-
cause he was entitled to six months
good time under the good time act of
1883. If he is entitled to good time, as
he claims he should have been dis
charged on Dec 10. 1908. and If he is
not entitled to it he should. not be dis
charged until June 10, the expiration of
his maximum time.
The argument which followed a mo-
ton by counsel for the state to quash
lut VIII Oh the 6IOuUu lAdl the pei
ton did not state facts sufficient to
constitute a cause of action and that
the action was a collateral attack on
the judgment of the court of White
county, turned the point whether the
good time law of 1883 was repealed by
the enactment of the indeterminate law
of 1897.
The defense argued that the old law
was repealed by implication in the
passage of the new act, the effect OF
which was similar to the old law and
| that the wording of all supreme court
decisions agecting the new law i'm
piled that the old law was no longer
in force.
On the other hand, McCoy's attorneys
argued that there was no repea
clause in the new law and that there
was nothing to warrant the belief that
the old law was repealed. except the
implication involved in the passage o.
a new law the purpose of which wa:
entirely different from the old because
the law of 1897 was reformatory il
| character and the old law was in
ducement to a convict to behave HIM
