SPEECH NET WITH FAVOR
T. w. Englehardt Says That
Hammond and Gary
Should Cooperate.

In speaking of the Proctor speech
at the lemon banquet, in which the
guest of honor advised the cities of
Lake county to get together ather than
to fight against each other, T. W. En-
glehardt, president of the South Broad
way Land company and a property
owner in Hammond, said that it ex-
pressed his sentiments exactly. There
were many others in the city who dis
cussed the matter and it was the uni
versal opinion that neither of the cit
les could get very far without CO.
operation.
The position of the people of Gary
seems to be that they will be willing
to work with Hammond and Crown
Point if the latter will meet them
half way, but under no circumstances
will they go farther than that. They
believe that the cities of this region
have a common interest which can be
best served by the cities working hand
in-hand The advice of Senator Proctor
was the more appreciated because of
the fact that he has experienced the
same trouble in his city, between Elk
hart and Goshen. They have now
compromised and are having no diff
ficulty in getting what they desire.

BOARD YET UNCERTAIN
Mayor Becker Again Out of
Town and Candidates
Still on Anxious Seat.

The situation regarding the new po-
lice board, although somewhat clearer
today, is not entirely cleared, however,
owing TO the fact that not all of the
appointments have been made, and the
further fact that Mayor Becker, in
whom the appointments rest, was called
to Chicago again today.
The appointment of Thomas Swan
ton, who is the republican member Of
the board, has already been made in
an official way and Mr. Swanton will
present his bond to the city council
next Tuesday evening. The appoint
ment of George Drackert, one of the
two democratic members. is reasonably
certain, but could not be verified today
owing to the fact that Mr. Drackert
has been out on hunting trip.
The completion of the board SEEM
ingly hinges on the third member, who
is commonly reported TO be Anton Tap
per. However, Mr.. Taper has not
spoken to the mayor since the latter
came back from Indianapolis last Tues
day. The name of Mr.. Taper has been
frequently mentioned in connection
with the board, and it is doubtful
whether if the position were offered
to him If he would accept it.

CHARLEY IS OUT $500
Federal Official Swoops
Down on Local Office
Today.

It now appears that Charles Sur

the naturalization of foreigners as
might have been expected. He put

foreigners, and the fee was so cents a

1t is customary to let the clerk of
the local office have these fees, but
United States Clerk Butler got wind
of the fact that the Hammond office
was filled with the filthy lucre and
he served notice on Charles S. that he
would have to divy up. Charles thought

NO SUBTERFUGE FOR
UNSCRUPULOUS DEALER
Measure Provides That Animal Must
Have Been Free From Infectious
Diseases at Time of Killing, and
Also at All Times Previous. Be-
fore Recompense Will Be Allowed.
TIMES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 13. - When
the bill introduced by Representative
Wickey of Lake county to regulate
tuberculin tests of cattle, was passed
and became a law, there was one feat
ure in it that evidently was over
looked. While the dairymen and cat
tie dealers feel that the law throws
about them ample protection against
the killing of diseased cattle by the
state veterinarian on Showing of tuber-
culosis, il is doubtful whether they
will find in the law as much protec-
tion as they now believe. 1t is true
that the act provides that in case an
animal is killed by order of the state
veterinarian, provisions are made for
reimbursing the owners, but only un-
der the condition that the animal be
shown not to have been infected at the
time OF the killing nor at any previous
time.
.The tuberculin test in the hands OF
a qualified veterinarian seldom fails"
said H. E. Barnard, state food and
drug commissioner. 1T is not at all
likely that under the provisions of
this act the state will be called on to
pay out as much as $3.50 during the
the order of the state veterinarian. The
state is amply protected by the pro-
visions of the act against the unscrupu-
lous stock owner who no doubt thought
that under the law he could make mon
ey at the expense of the state by buy
ing up diseased cattle. having been
subjected to test, and killed on the
order of the state veterinarian in or
der that he might receive recompense
from the state. In order that the
owner may collect from the state un-
der the law, the animal killed must
at the time of the killing be free from
infectious disease, as well as it must
have been free from such disease al
all times previous"
The decision of the state veterin-
arian in all cases coming under the
provisions of the act is final. Power
is given him to make inspections when
ever it is demanded by the local health
authorities. He may also demand in
spection of cattle brought into the state
for breeding or dairy purposes wher
he believes it to be advisable"

HIS BROTHER
DIED IN JAIL
Prisoner Comes From Family Show
ing Criminal Tendencies and Bit
ter Fight Will Be Made to Show
That Degenerate Is Insane Per-
vert.

Next Monday morning William Ga
gle will face the court in Valparaiso
and be given an opportunity to an
swer for one of the most fiendish MUIR
ders that the criminal history of In
diana has ever known. He must ac-
count for the brutal strangling of lit
tie Lizzie Schroeder Of Tolleston.
He is to be defended by Attorney
Clarence Bretsch of Gary. and will be
pros ecuted by Attorney Charles Green
wald of Hammond. Prosecuting At
torney D. E. Boone viii assist Mr..
Greenwald.
The defense to be made by Attorney
Bretsch will be that William eagle was
insane at the time he committed his
fendish act; that he was not respons-
ible for his conduct; that the man is
insane and should be cured and not a
criminal who should be punished
On the other hand, it is understood
that Prosecuting Attorney Greenwald
has plenty Of evidence to show that
eagle is a criminal of the lowest type,
who should be permanently removed
from society.
From Criminal Family,
Probably the most startling facts
which will be introduced by the prose-
cution will be that William eagle is a
criminal degenerate from a family of
criminals. The prosecution will show
that Fred eagle, his brother was ar
rested for horse stealing in 1900. He
stole a horse in the vicinity of Hobart,
was tried before Judge Harry B. Tut
hill in the Valparaiso superior court
and sentenced to term in the peniten-
| tiary. After serving one year he died
| in prison.
eagles father Is now living in Chi
cago Heights. He himself was arrested
at one time on the charge of grand
larceny and was convicted. These facts
have been uncovered by Sheriff Grant
and Deputy Sheriff Furman, and they
believe they go to show eagles crimi-
nal tendencies rather than his tenden-
/ cy to insanity.
! It is further known that eagle has
| not shown any signs Of insau<6y since
he has been in jail The case will be a
most interesting one, and in view of
| the fact that the authorities have Will
liam eagles written confession. 1t is
| believed there will be no difficulty in
| securing a conviction.

is no question among the people of
Robertsdale that the dog was mad.
