EIGHT O'CLOCK MAIL
TO Be COLLECTED
Uncle Sam to Give Business
District Additional
Accommodations.

A long -looked-for and very welcome
addition to the number of mail collec
lions in the business district will be a
great boo nto the business man of
Hammond.
Heretofore the latest mail collec-
ton in the business district has been at
$40. and after that it was necessary
to take the mail to the postoffce per-
sonalIy in order to lave it go out that
evening.
In view of the fact that there are
many times when the mail matter is
delayed until after 6:2o. there is no
doubt that delivery as late as
o'clock will be a great convenience to
the downtown busienss men.
People in general will also be glad
to know that the mail in certain boxes
will be collected as late as $40 to
8.55 in the evening This Will not
make it necessary for those in the out
laying districts to go all of the way to
the postoffice in the evening.
There is many a lovesick swain and
many a maiden fair who will find 1t
much easier in the future to mail the
daily letter 1t will now be possible
for them to write their letters after
supper and mail them in the business
district between s and o'clock. How
considerate of Uncle Sam.

men to do work in politics. in organi-
cation. in arousing enthusiasm and
puts more men to work than can be
recognized in the regular party organi-
zation. The last campaign saw $4,000
members of the 325 clubs in Indiana,
and the next campaign should see
more thorough. organization, and more
enthusiasm.
The state central committee has al
ways encouraged the organization of
clubs. and now that President Taft has
given the work special attention the
whole country may be better organized
in that line. Indiana last year had al

The biennial meetings of the Lincoln
league. which are held on Feb. Il OF
each year during which there is to be
a general election. is always the time
when the candidates for state offices

Jersey Dairy Co. Involved.

The stockholders of the Jersey Dairy
company have been in Prests court all
day in an effort to settle their differ
ences. John F. PohIplatz and Leo
Pohlplatz together with William Kush-
man are members of the firm.
John Pohlplatz alleges that he has
done all of the work and consequently
should keep the profits. The rest of
the members Of the firm claim that they
have $3.50 and forty-eight milk cans
coming as their share of the profits and
they have brought suit to recover this
amount
The case has been on trial all day,
but a peaceful settlement of the case
is looked for this afternoon.

bonnet TO let the bee get busy. Be-
fore he gets away from the meeting OF
the Lincoln league he gets a pretty
good idea of whether his boom will
amount to anything. for at the meet
ing he Will meet the republicans who
do things all over the state
It has been definitely decided that
there Will not be any republican love
feast held during the holidays this year.
This. also. has for years been a bien-
NAL event which has drawn together
the republican leaders and workers OF
the state to talk over things and lay
plans for the next campaign. But con-
ditions just at this time do no war
ran the calling of a love feast accord
ing to the party leaders, and none will
be held. There are too many contests
on hand for appointments throughout
the state. and it is believed that II a
love feast were held it would draw SO
many candidates for places and such
crowds Of their ROSTERS to the city
that ii would not be much of a love
feast
Therefore. the next important politi-
cal event on the program for the fu-
ture will be the election of new mem
bers of the state committee and the
reorganization OF the committee by the
election Of a chairman. a secretary and
a treasurer. That there will be no con-
tests for places on the state commit
tee seems to be taken for granted. APP
parently nothing but harmony is to
prevail, both in the election of district
chairman and the election Of a state
chairman. This is the plan OF the party
! leaders, and they are all working to-
gether to accomplish this end

of Splendid and Solemn
Affair Last Night.

Forty hours devotion came to close
last night in St. Josephs church amid
splendor and impressive ceremonies
such as the church has not often wit
messed
The church was beautifully lighted by
numerous electric lights and candles
and the affairs were decorated with cut
flowers. Standing room was at a pre-
MUM, and the audience listened with
rapt attention 10 the sermon delivered
by the Rev. Father Hoff of Hobart.
Prior to the solemn benediction the
litany of All Saints was chanted by
thirty altar boys. who marched in pro-
cession through the aisles of the
church, followed by the visiting priests,
who carried the holy eucharist. The
services were closed by the singing of

Missing Machine to
Police.

This familiar question, which is in
no way meant to refer to the machine
which gained such prominence two
weeks ago, is asked about Reming-
ton, which was stolen from the office
of Harry F. Erlebach, All Indiana ave-
nue.. two night ago. Someone evil

means of skeleton key and carried
away the machine which the owner
valued at SIS.
With several hundred thousand ma

the local police are up against in at
tempting to restore the property to the
owner.

INTERESTING GAME
FOR NEXT SATURDAY
Laporte High School Will
Play Local Team in
Hammond.

One of the big high school games of
the contest between the local team
and that from the Laporte high school
at Harrison park next Saturday.
Laporte has a strong team and the
contest is sure to be an interesting one.
In view of the fact that the local high
school has been defeated by only one
team, South Bend, it is believed that
the game next Saturday will settle the
championship of northwestern Indiana.
Professor F. D. McElroy stated this
morning that the local high school
would probably be represented by its
usual lineup in spite of the fact that
1t has been reported that Bob Mott
would be out of the game for the rest
of the season, because of injuries he
received.
Motifs Parents May Consent.
Mr. McElroy believes that Bob Motifs
parents will consent to his playing in
the game Saturday If the team is COM
PEELED to lose the services of this play
er is would reduce its strength mate
rally, and as Motifs injuries in the
Gary game are said to have been ex-
aggerated, it IS believed that he viii be
able to play without danger of further
injury.
One reason that the Hammond high
school boys have been battered about
considerably in recent contests is the
fact that the players are all light and
are not able to cope with the individ-
ual players of opposing teams success
fully.
1t is hoped that next season the To-
cal team will be able to pick up some
beef and develop more in the players
that are now on the team. The game
Saturday, however. is sure to be an in
teresting contest and is likely to at
tract large crowd OF loyal followers.

HAMS DEFENSE INSANITY.

Says Counsel. s.,

Flushing, N. Y, April 20.-The ''un-
written law" will not figure in the
trial of Captain Peter G, Hams, Jr,
U. s. A., for the murder of William E.
Annis.
The positive statement was made by
John f. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
the defense at the opening of the trial
before Justice Garretson in the su-
preme court here.
"We do not intend to appeal to any
unwritten law in this case" said Mr..
Mcintyre, land 1 shall impress that
fact upon the jury when sum up.
"Our defense is one of insanity, pure
and simple"
Mr.. Mcintyre said he would not call
any alienists to show that his client
was insane, but would leave it to the
jury to decide as to his mental condi-
tion at the time of the shooting.
District Attorney De Witt Of Queens
county, who is prosecuting the case,
announced that he had retained three
alienists to combat any testimony of
insanity which the defense might offer
The days session was devoted to the
examination of jury talesmen. The
prisoner was nervous and weary after
the day in court. He showed marked
Indifference during all the proceedings
and passed much OF the time with his
head bowed In his hands. His father
General Peter c. Hams, and his broth
er. Major Hams, sat beside him IL

We hear numerous complaints of

whether we should attend the meet

on mating and feeding is as yet un-
determined. Successful chicken
raising has come to a science and he
who would engage in the business
for profit must know some of the
points. Practical knowledge is
necessary in any trade to win.
