HOW IT MAY ALL END
City Treasurer VIM. Wolter
Says He Is Not Oppos-
ing Administration.

This thing may end in a friendly
suit said City Treasurer William VOL
ter today, in speaking of the question
that he had raised in the city admin
istration regarding the disposal of the
interest on special assessments. There
are decisions on both sides. and it is
proper for the city attorney to cite
the decisions showing that the inter-
est must revert to the ely reasury. while
Mr.. Woler. in protecting his own in
terests, is finding cases to the con-
trary
BY taking this course" continued
Mr.. Wolter. Il do not want to be un-
derstood as opposing the administra-
tion. or that there is a get even spirit
on my part toward any one connected
with the administration. 1t is by no
means aimed at Mayor Becker. and I
am satisfied that he looks at it in that
light. At any rate I am not an in
surgent'"

vertently Signs Away

WAS FOR A SCHOOL HOUSE
Settlement Is Effected Out of Court
and Bill Is Very Happy
Today.

William c. Kunert. ex-trustee of Cal
umet township. who caused consider
able confusion three years ago when he
inadvertently signed away $4,000 of the
township funds by mere slip of the
pen, has been reimbursed Attorney
". J. McAleer who represented Mr..
Kunert, brought about the settlement
out of court, although it was originally
filed in the superior court
About three years ago Mr.. Kunert,
who was then trustee of Calumet town
ship. overpaid the contracting firm of
Gallagher & Williams of Tolleston by
$4,000, for the building of a school
house. The mistake was not noticed
until the record had been made, after
which Mr. Kunert took hasty steps
to rectify his mistake, which was
charged to his personal account
Mr.. Kunert was allowed s2OSO in
the settlement
The personal injury case Of CaIsima
Powolak of Indiana Harbor against the
Lake Shore Railroad company was also
settled out of court this morning in
the office of Mr.. McAleer. He repre-
sented the plaintiff, who was suing for
the loss of an arm, the loss of which
he suffered when he was thrown from
the train in attempting to alight. The

HEARING Of UNION
MEN SET FOR TODAY
Judge Huber of Gary to Try
Case of the Electrical
Workers.
OFFICIALS ARE DEFENDANTS
Attorney for Defense Says Plaintiffs
Had Ample Opportunity to
Acquit Themselves.

The civil cases against James J.
Finneran, president of electrical union
No. 571, of Hammond; Martin H. Car
mody. secretary of that union. and
Robert OConnor, treasurer, are ex-
pected TO come up today before Judge
A. c. Huber in Gary. In the above
suits the officials of the union are be-
ing sued for fees which the Gary men
maintain they had no right to collect.
Ray Young and c. w. Mast are ask
ing for $780, and D. h Gardner asks
for somewhat smaller amount They
claim that they were taxed 500 initia-
ton fee and IS a week thereafter for
the privilege OF remaining in good
standing. This they claim was done
for pure graft
In speaking the case Attorney Clar-
ence Bretsch, who has been employed
to defend Ffnneran and Carmody, states
that they were entirely within their
rights. Those electricians who have
since seeded from that union agreed
to pay the amounts that they did when
they joined the old organization. The
FS "HiSiA tiSS were asked 10 pay
Were stipulated in the bylaws, which
they had an opportunity to read when
they Joined the organization
Mr.. Bretsch stated that he thought
that the whole difficulty arose out of
the fact that he Gary men had severed
heir relations with the Hammond or
ganization, forming a union of their
own, and were attempting to get their
money back 1t may be possible that
the case will be postponed because the
defense has not had the opportunity
to prepare for triak

Two well-known Hammond boys en-
gagged in fight in Bradford's pool and
billiard room this afternoon. So fierce
was the battle that it was finally ne
cessary for the proprietor of the place

move the disturbers.
While the young men who engaged
In the contest were of good parentage,
there are number Of young toughs
and loafers who loaf about the place
and make the environment rather un-
desirable.
Mr.. Bradford has found it one Of his
greatest problems to know just how to
handle the numerous young hoodlums
who frequent the place. When the
boys were arrested they were taken
to the police station, where they were
compelled to apologize to each other
before they We're finally released.

/ The Hammond police department is to
have patrol wagon. Since the board
| of commissioners have completed the
important work of the departmental
shakeup they are now turning their
attention to the other needs of the no
lice force
The fact has been recognized for a
| long time that the great extent OF
territory in Hammond and the cosmo-
politan character of its citizenship has
made patrol wagon necessity. In
TACT. the spectacle of police officers
taking sodden drunks to the station in
| a wheel-barrow is not one to inspire
| the foreigner who is used to seeing
the arm of the law on its dignity. with
that fear of vested authority that make
them tractab1e.
At its next meeting the board of com
mfssioners will take up this problem
of providing a patrol wagon and will
thrash it out. The members Of the
city council will be interviewed. and
Il they will agree to an appropria-
ton, one will be made for the purpose.
May Get Auto Patrol
The discussion has even gone so far
that the question Of the desirabilitv Of
purchasing automobile patrol in
stead of a horse patrol is being con-
sidered. In ordinary city it is ad-
mitted that a team Of horses and reg
ulation wagon would do. but in Ham
mond, where the officers might be faced
with the necessity OF making run out
to the Standard district and then to
Gibson or the north side all within
short time the automobile patrol would
be much the better
The general public is very well salts
fed with the appointments which were
made by the new board OF police com
missioners. Captain Peter Austgen fs
one Of the oldest men in the service
and is eminently well qualified to take
charge Of the department He has the
respect Of all of the officers under him
and the confidence of the citizens Of
Hammond
The reduction of Charles See and
Captain Bunde to the ranks is regret
ted by their friends. but excepting in
these two instances, the board could
not be suspected OF playing any politi-
cal favorites
The liberality OF the commissioners
was shown by the retention of Chief
Rimbach as captain of police and the
appointment of Lou De Bow. a repub-
mean, as night desk sergeant.
Plan New Quarters.
One suggestion OF a solution is that
the officers of the department be given
the set Of rooms on the south side Of
the superior court building and the
patrolmen the rooms on the north side
for locker rooms. and place to hang
out. Another Is that the headquarters
of the department be located in the
city hall. which 1t is reported will be-
remodeled so that it viii be practically
q new building.
These questions viii be taken up one
at time and solved. and it Is expect
ed now that the city administration
is in with the police department and not
working against IT. as in the past that
there will be some substantial addi-
tions to the facilities of this heretofore
much-abused department OF the city
administration

HEAVYWEIGHT AND MIDGET GO IN
 TOGETHER
BARNEY HARMSEN AND PERCY VINCENT DON ANTLERs
 LAST NIGHT

As the result of initiatory services at last night g session of the Elks lodge a new record was established. The largest and also the smallest eandi- dates in matter of weight, to enter the lodge in many months, joined the ant lcrcd herd. with the initiation of Bar ney lIarmsen and Percy Vincent.
 Barney wsighs something--nobody outside of himself, knows how much over 2j0 pounds. Percy weighs about 100. In spite of the disparagement in weights, however, both men were what the lodge members termed "the candy candidates " and they rode the goat un- til that animal was dragging its whis- kers in the dust
 Needless to say, both men got all that was coming to them--and then some. Sounds which were waited on the night air were enough to indicate this. When the ordeal was over, both men were re- cipients of congratulations
 Owing to the attractiveness of the initiation card, there was a big turnout of Brother Bills at the meeting.
