EVEN BARNHART
OPPOSES THE BILL
South Bend District Congressman
South Bend District Congressman
VIII Not Help South Bend to Get
a Federal Court, and Congress
City's Pet Scheme.

The Joke of the session was the ar
ticIe, which recently appeared In
Gary paper. to the effect that Hammond
had better look after Its federal court
instead of trying to interfere with
Gary in its effort to secure a superior
court.
The article was intended to alarm
the people of Hammond, but the facts
are that they simply laughed about the
article 1t was so ridiculous. The
principle argument was to the effect
that the election of Shively as United
States senator meant that South Bend
would try to get Hammond's federal
court away.
The facts of the case as revealed in
a dispatch from Washington are that
even Representative Barnhart from the
South Bend district will oppose the pro-
posed federal court bill even though it
stipulates that South Bend shall be
one of the places for holding the new
court Others are opposing the bill
until it has no more chance of passing
than the ship subsidy bill.
The following is the Washington dis
patch:
'The chances for passage of the new
federal court bill are slim. The entire
democratic membership of the house. it
is believed will line up against the
plan of creating a new set of federal
offceholders for the state of Indiana.
Two CT the democratic Representative
from Indiana, who were earnest sup
porters of the plan of requiring court
to be held for regular terms outside
of Indianapolis until all of the bust
ness is disposed of in the localities
where it arises, cannot see their way
clear to voting for the creation of g
new judicial district with retinue OF
new federal officeholders.
Representative Barnhart SAID he be
lieves he will have to oppose the new
bill, even though it stipulates Soutf
Bend in his district as one of the places
for holding court. He said 1t is hi
sincere opinion that the present fedora
Judge can attend to all the fedora
court business in the state and tina
it would be a needless multiplication
of expensive Offices to carve out nev
judicial district. With Mr.. Barnhart'
support withdrawn the new bill lose
one of its expected champions.
But this is not the worst. Repre-
sentative Cox, tnan Whom tnere is II
better ough-and-tumble fighter in tn
house, has forsaken the federal cour
reorganizers because of objection I
this new proposition, and hereafter h
will be found on the side of those VIII
are lined up against the Legislation
His opposition runs to the creation c
the new judicial district, which is tn
essential feature of the new plan. TIL
detection of Barnhart and Cox solid
f1es the democratic members of the II
diana delegation against the latest fec
eral court bill and it is a safe assumI
ton that all the democrats in I'll
house will follow the lead of the uni
ed Indiana democratic delegation, it be
ing a matter that concerns only Ind
ana.

SUNDAY MORNING
BLAZE IN GARY
Fire Breaks Out in Stefa-
nelli Building at 18th
and Adams.
$500 DAMAGE SUSTAINED
Roof Will Have To Be Partially Re
placed-Loss Is Entirely Gov
cred By Insurance.

A fire broke out yesterday morning
at 1880 in the two-story brick fiat
building owned by Vito Stefaneln at
the corner of Adams and Eighteenth
street. The fire caught in the roof of
the building and had made fairly good
Roadway before it was extinguished by
the fireman. The loss is estimated to
be about four or five hundred dollars.
The fire yesterday was the first that
has been made since the improvised
fire wagon has been rugged UP to take
the place of the one which was hit by
the South Shore line last T thursday
night. The new horses were also sat
isfactorily under the existing difficult
ties.
The firemen found the fire had start
ed in the rear of the building near the
roof and found 1t mean one to fight.
After a hard tussle, however. they got
the blaze under control The roof was
damaged to such an extent that 1t will
probably have to be partially replaced
| The damages was entirely covered by
insurance. It is not known how the
blaze was started. The insurance was
held by NJ. G. Reiner and e. F. John
son.

Especial to THE Tines

Whiting, Ind, Feb. 1.-Depredations
in whiting continue to increase, and
the latest thing is the robbing of and
destroying gas meters.
During the past few days eight gas
meters, belonging to the South Shore
Gas and Electric company. have been
tempered with. The robberies have
been in both Whiting and Roberts
dale, but in each case the method of
getting the money was by the same
means. The amounts taken from the
various meters ranged from 20 cents
to 81.
The meters, which are very expen-
sive. were broken beyond repair.
These robberies have occurred in the
homes of the following: Pat Philbin's
saloon, One Hundred and Nineteenth
street; Hugh Brown, Schrange avenue;
x. c. Mong, Schrage avenue; Frank
Buehler. Robertsdale; Scott Coryell
Robertsdale; George Wylie. Roberts
dale.
Two additional robberies were re-
ported later.
The affair Is a most mysterious one
since so many have occurred in sc
few days, and at no home where the
money was missing could any light
whatever be thrown on the mystery.
John Kamradt, manager of the loca
office, is much exercised over the at
fair while the consumers will have
| to make the loss good" Mr.. Kamrad
said. the company will press the in
| vestigation to the best of their ability
and when the guilty party is run dowl
| the gates of Michigan City prison will
be wide open for them, as no lenienc!
whatever will be shown
| 1t cannot be understood how thes
meters could be broken without an,
person hearing the noise, which woul
be necessary to do the work.
The police have been notified, an
