ever. Already ten new students have
matriculated, and it is expected that
there will be between forty and fifty
new students before the school is fair
ly started.
Some of the students are from the
country and will not begin their work
until after the county fair. The sum
mer school was great success this
year, although the attendance was
rather irregular on account of the hot
weather. That there was an enroll
ment of sixty-four in the day and night
schools is an indication Of the mag
nitude of the work that is being done
by this institution.
One change in the teaching force of
the school will be of interest to the
people of Hammond is the employing
of Mrs. l. A. Minard, who is we'll and
favorably known 10 the people of
Hammond, to take charge of the in

year in its history.

day by officer Hanlon on the charge
Of tampering with the United States
mails. He is said to have been guilty
of cashing a money order that was not
sent to him.
The prisoner was turned over to the
United States marshal and probably
will be bound over TO the federal court

this kind. and the foreigners evidently

HENEY VS..
CALHOUN

San Francisco, June 17.-Not all the
diplomacy of a score of policemen
could keep back the crush of visitors
at Carpenters Hall this morning as
Attorney Moore arose to make his last
installnent of his speech to the jury
in defense of Patrick Calhoun, presi-
dent of the United Railways, who has
been accused of bribery. 1t had been
announced that Francis J. lHeney was
to begin his address and the room was
packed to hear che prosecutor.
Moore in concluding his remarks
declared that detective w. J. Burns
had inaugurated a spy system which
sought to bring evidence against Cal
houn and asked the jurors il they
blamed Calhoun for using the same
measures in defending himself He
scored the detective from Burns Of
fee, who, he said, went to Utah and
laid a trap for a brother mason. He
said he was sorry for the strife which
had troubled San Francisco, but be-
iieved an injustice was being done
by the jealousy of the prosecution.
Moore completed his address by
making plea to the jury DO keep un-
stained the honor of Calhoun.
iHeney's address, which began ten
minutes after Moore had finished,
when the speaker could be heard to
the street. The vigor which has char
acterized many less important battles
during the trial, was applied in the
opening words. His face was scarlet
with the vehemence of his utterance
and his arms swung foScibly in the
gestures he usually employs.
In his address Heney asked IL there
was not sufficient evidence before the
jury to ''sink Patrick Calhoun to the
bottomless pits of he'll" He declared
Calhoun TO be in a position where he
would commit more crimes TO clear
his skirts of the one of which he
stood accused. He said he had taken
abuse and wondered how many of the
jurors would stand for what he had
taken. He then declared, 'Tbut l will
never go into court again as long as
live and allow any man to abuse me
in the performance of a public duty,
so help me God. What does it matter
If / am abused by an attorney like

es, of two Goufds and the Tates, in
the suit for divorce by Katherine
Clemmons Gould against Howard
Gould. asking for $25O.0O0 yearly ali
mony, was proceeded with today. as
a small army of servants appeared
to give evidence that Could was justi-
fed in leaving his wife because OF
her habits. The prospect OF large vol
qrme of such evidence caused the JUS
tfce to order a longer session and a
night session may ibe called to hasten
the trial. The prosecution has an
nounced that it will call about fifty
witnesses in rebuttal.
August Frederickson, watchman
at Castle Gould told OF the occasion

tric alarm apparatus and talked in
coherently.
Edward Bechtel, who had charge
of the wines on Goulfs yacht, in De-
cenlber, 1906, saw Mrs. Gould intoxi-
Gated on several cruises. She drank
more than others, he said, and on one
occasion had to cling to a chair to
keep from falling.
Bechtei denied the guests aboard
the yacht had to sign checks for
drinks and declared he heard Mrs.
Gould curse and swear on several oc-
casions. While the witness related the
occasions when he saw Mrs. Gould in
toxicated, Mrs. Gould shook her head

Charles T. Dodhe, a carpenter, said
one day at Castle Could, Mrs. Could
came into the room where he and 9th
ers were working and said they would
have to stop talking OR walk to the
station
Melville E. Chapman, broker,
said Mrs. Gould was frequently in
toxicated and abusive towards the
servants, and said she would run the
yacht to suit herself. Chapman said
Could tried to pass things Off pleas
