a mass of documents as was prepared
by July 10 could have been prepared
after the injunction was issued when
it was issued only the day before. Per
haps some of them were, as is claimed,
prepared even before the injunction
was granted | don It know.
AS soon as the order dismissing the
order to show cause was made, the
court rose. Lighttoot at once rushed
over and shook hands with Negoro and
Miauchi, two of his clients, and there
was a general handshaking among all
the japanese who We're present.
Lightfoot concluded his argument
early in the morning, and the reply was
made by Attorney Prosser. His CON
tention was that it is possible to use
intimidation without single word or
overt act. Intimidation might consist
of mere force Of numbers. If Japan
csc trying to return to work were
stopped on the road by one picket and
questioned, that would not constitute
intimidation, but if he were stopped and
surrounded by twenty men, it would be
intimidation, even though not word
were said or an overt act committed,
and so would be a violation of the in
junction.
Your Honor is trying to be finn
TANNED by Mr.. Lightfoot," proclaimed
Prosser.
"What?' exclaimed Lightfoot, in
seeming establishment.
Il say Your Honor is trying to be
tiimfiammed,' repeated Prosser.
Il repudiate the insinuation against
the cOuft - said T,iohtfoof
Prosser again repeated the astonish-
ing charge. Judge Robinson smiled
perceiving that what the attorney for
the prosecution really meant was that
Lightfoot was trying to fimfam the
Judge, not that the Judge was trying
to be fiimfammed.

MAKING ET Al.
NOT GUILTY
Judge Robinson Finds Them Not
in Contempt of
Court.

Maxine. Negoro and the large num-
Der of other strike leaders who were
hailed before Judge Robinson for al
legged violation Of the temporary injunc-
ton are not in contempt of court. Judge
Robinson so decided yesterday morning,
dismissing the order to show cause and
discharging the respondents.
The decision in favor of the Japanese
was because OF the absolute failure of
the prosecution TO make out any case.
As Judge Robinson stated after court
had adjourned, the compliments had
only one witness whose testimony
amounted to anything, and he was very
evidently lying. Manager Bull of the
Oahu Sugar Company and E. NJ. SEQ
vile, chief engineer of the pumping
plant, did not bear out the statements
made in the affidavits upon which the
order TO show cause was issued.
The ruling Of Judge Robinson is a
decided victory for Attorney Light
foot and his Japanese clients, but as
Judge Robinson stated, it was not made
because the respondents were japanese
or strike leaders, but because they were
individuals the same as anybody else
and must be accorded the same treat
ment by the court.

SUBMIT ANNUAL REPORT
Attorney L. L. Bomberger
Makes Interesting State
ment Yesterday.

In his annual report submitted by the
Gary attorney. L. L Bomberger to the
board of trustees the following inter
esting statement is made:
Il think it is a matter of congra tu-
lation tos you, considering all the cir
cumstances surrounding its rapid growth
and development and the difficulties
under which the municipality has lab
ored in many respects, that the amount
of litigation arising during this per-
iod since the beginning of the town,
is so small
The city has prepared and passed
eighty-seven ordinances, many of them
penal in character, and 1s6 resolu-
tons
The fact that the city has made so
few mistakes during its growth, when
there has been volumes of business
transacted. is considered a credit both
to them and TO the attorney. During
all this period there are probably not
more than dozen cases which have
been filed for or against the city which
have come to trial. Some of these have
been dismissed and some are now pend
ing and most of them have been sue
cessfully fought.
In his report Mr.. Bomberger enumer-
ates all of these cases, giving the nat
ure of the case and the disposition.

MAKES REPORT
East Chicago Police Head
Hands Out Some Inter
esting Statistics.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago. Ind. Jan. 20.-Assault
and battery leads in the list of offenses
committed in the city of East Chicago
during the past year, according to the
annual report of Chief of Police Hig-
gins, just completed. The report is
lengthy one and covers forty pages of
typewriting, the joint work of the ener-
getic chief and Sergeant Bowen. Only
5O5 arrests were made during the year.
and when it is considered that East
Chicago and the Harbor have a COM
bined population of over $1,000. the
work of the police in the restraint of
crime seems almost remarkable One
hundred and fifty-six arrests We're made
on charges of assault and battery. with
40 intoxicated persons. listed as placed
behind the bars for one night stays
or more There were % riots. 81 arrests
on charges of petit larceny, % for
carrying concealed weapons and 3 for
violation of the liquor law.
The police gave lodging to 1886 wan
ders during the year and the official
report shows the amount expended in
meals for prisoners at s193.5O, 500 of
which was distributed among Harbor
restaurant keepers.
The activities of the policemen in
watching electric lights saved the city
the neat little sum of s274.42. Lights
were out on the city streets for Ia
$50 hours. The police found and re-
turned $2,e11 worth of personal prop
erty to its owners during the year
Merchant policemen Barr and Lewis did
good work during the year and proba-
bly, saved their patrons thousands OF
dollars. They found 33 open doors in
the various business houses of the
city.
The file reports of the officers show
IS robberies, IA men killed by railroads
3 dead bodies found 3S accidents. 81
fires. Is riots. AZ cases of restitution
9 forgeries and 1873 dogs killed.
The saloon phase Of the report is
almost a farce. There are reports or
hre showing 222 violations of the H.
qaor law. AS there are almost this
many saloons in the city this means
that each Of them has been arrested
once during the year on the average
for keeping open after II O'Clock and

GARY LAND COMPANY
PRICES ARE ADVANCED
Most Desirable Property Is
on Massachusetts and
Washington Streets.
ONE THIRD HIGHER IN PLACES
Corporation Will Cancel Unsigned
Contracts, and First Payment on
Others Must Be Made.

Prices of property owned by the Gary
Land company in Gary have been put
up a notch. The decision as to the lots
and the amounts was received at the
local office yesterday afternoon Broad
way will not be changed, in that there
will still be no lots sold, and the same
applies to the other big business street
of the city, Fifth avenue.
The increase in price on residence
property was made as high as twenty
Eve per cent and those on the two re-
naming business streets where it is
still on the market has been raised
one-third more than its former value.
To be exact, business property on
Massachusetts street and Washington
street was raised thirty three and one
third per cent; the residence property
from Tyler street on the west to Della
ware street, on the east and north of
Eight avenue has been increased TWEEN
ty-fve per cent; all other residence
property has been increased fifteen per
cent This property consists of that
on the extreme east and the extreme
west and that south of Eight avenue.
To Cancel Unsigned Contracts.
1t is expected that the result of again
placing Massachusetts, and Washington
streets on the market will be to build
up those two streets and widen the
business section of the city. This prop
erty is the next best that can be had
tt, the Broadway property in the first
subdivision. The Improvement of these
two streets will be of material aid in
building up the heart OF the city.
The statement was given out at the
land office Yesterday that because of
the raise in prices. that all contracts
which had been procured and are still
unsigned would be cancelled. and that
those who had signed up the contracts
would be given until Thursday to make
their FIRST payment or their property
! would be lost.

NO VISITORS WERE
PRESENT YESTERDAY
Board Inquiries Why Street Lights,
Which Had Been Purchased Some
Time Ago, Had Not Yet Been De-
livered-Chicago Contractors Seek
ing Information as to City Hall.

The time for the receiving of bids
for the construction of the new city
hall and are station was postponed
yesterday at the regular meeting of
the town board from January 80 to
February o. 1t is likely that the con-
tract will be let on that date If the
bids prove satisfactory.
The reason for the postponing of
the city officials have not had time to
look over the plans submitted by arch
fleets ]. Hammons & Sons. They be-
lieve that various changes will be nee
essary before they can be submitted
to the contractors for them to make
their estimates.
1t was believed that the board could
meet the later part of the week and
look over the plans and changes in
the plans could be made in time to
get them ready for the bidding of the
contractors. Already there have been
a number of inquiries from Chicago
contractors about the contract and they
seem anxious to land II.
No Outsiders Are Interested.
The meeting of the board yester-
day. with the president, Tom Knots,
absent, was peculiar in that there was
not a visitor or a spectator present
outside of the newspaper men. This is
the first time that this has happened
since the city was organized Not even

GUESTS OF ARCHITECT ITTNER

in United States-Planned Sew

Gary will have as model school ia
states. Such is the verdict of super
intendent w. A. Writ and member of
yesterday returned from ST. Louis,
where they were the guests of William
b. Ittner, architect of the Emerson
school of Gary.
While in ST. Louis Messrs. Writ and
Melton were taken through the princi-
pal school, which are model in their
architecture and arrangement. The
Emerson school in Gary is planned aft
er one of these in particular. and the
above named gentlemen were given the
opportunity to make a thorough in
vestigation of Mr.. timers work. One
of the chief reasons for making the
trip to St. Louis was for the inspec-
ton of the school heating systems.
These were found to be perfect in ev-
cry respect, and it is thought that the
same system win be installed in the
Gary schools.
Architect Ittner an Authority.
The schools were visited during the
time when the pupils were in the class
rooms. and as is usually the case when
the air in the rooms is none too pure.
1t was found that this was not the
case in the st. Louis schools which
were designed by Mr.. Ittner. The ven
tilation is perfect. The air is first
sprayed to make 1t absolutely pure and
then is blown by fans to the various
rooms in the building. Another feat
ure which was noticed in particular
was the restaurant on the top floor
of the school building, where the pupils
are able to get their lunch at nom
inal cost The buildings throughout
were found to be Immediately clean
Besides being an architect Mr.. Ittne1
has been engaged as school commits
sioner of the st. Louis schools. His
duties are to see that the buildings are
properly kept in repair and, etc, he
even having charge of the janitors
1t is for this reason that Mr. Ittnel
has gained such a reputation in tho
United States as designing so many
model school buildings, and when the

will be another monument of his grea'
work Mr.. Ittner will be in Gary short.

FRIENDS REJOICE WILL
HAPPY FOREIGN COUPLE
She Is His Little Nastosiji SNATCH
vich and He is Her Lovely Miklos
Postich-Just the Same He Re-
fused to Pay His Broad Bill, But
True Love Never Runs Smooth.

With kaleidoscope suddenness a ro-
nance yesterday evolved from what at
one time looked like case of most
bitter animosity. A woman. Nastosiji
Smatcivich, Servian. performed the
strange feat of having Mike Postich
arrested for jumping his board bill, had
him tried on the7charge and fined, and
aftrr he was thrown in jail felt so
sorry for him that she paid his fine and
shortly after asked Judge Huber where
they could obtain a marriage license.
The case is one which neither the
Judge nor the prosecutor could fathom.
An effort was made before the case
came to trial to get them to agree. but
the woman stolidly refused and insisted
on a trial. Then when the man was
convicted and assessed the fine of S11.35
which he could not pay. he dramatically
dropped to his knees in the courtroom
and pressed the womans hands to his
lips
He, however. was thrown in jail by
the seargant. This started the woman
to crying and in a very short time her
companions succeeded in raising enough
money to pay the mans fine in spite of
the fact that she was most desperately
poor, and had promised to pay the
money back. After releasing the pris-
oner the woman even then made an
appeal to the police for help as she
stated that her children were almost
starving to death.
Affinity Her BOarder.
The woman in the case kept a few
hoarders at her rooming house on the
corner of Twelfth and Jefferson streets
in an effort to support herself and four
children, her husband being dead Pos
itch who had boarded and roomed at
her house for some time and who had
won the confidence and possibly love
of the woman, drew his money from
the mills and refused to pay her She
then in desperation had him arrested
on criminal charge.
! The Interpreter kept the police in
formed that they were making love to
each other, while they were still talk
ing through the iron door which sepa-
rated her from the jail. Then after he
was released they were as happy as
they could be. leaving the station to-
gether and chatting with their compan-
ions
