CHARLES SCHULTZ
DOESN'T WANT JOB
Tenth Ward Alderman Has
Had Enough Politics in
His, Thank You.
IS NOT CONSIDERING RACE
Says That North Side Constituency
Blames Him When Favors
Are Refused.

Charles F. Schultz. representing the
tenth ward in the Hammond city coun-
Gil, will not seek the nomination in the
coming city election. Even If business
interests would not prevent him, Mr..
schultz is not inclined to dabble in
politics any longer. Mr.. Schultz told a
TIMES reporter that he was not consid-
ering nomination at all. Further
more, he is now negotiating with the
Home Lumber company to move his
pianing mill and carpenter shop, which
he has on the north side. to the east
part of town, possibly on the premises
Of the Home Lumber company.
Mr.. Schultz is an appointee Of Mayor
Becker, and in his short term got a
suffciency of city politics The con-
stituency on the north side is one that
Is making heavy demands on it's rep
resentative in the council, and the
councilmen. having their hands tied
under the present cities and towns law.
theirs is not a pleasant one Whatever
concessions are secured for the con-
stituency are secured by the grace of
the mayor and the board of public
works, and the result is that the north
side feels itself great ynegIected. The
councilman gets the blame whether
guilty or not. and that is the reason
why Mr.. Schultz wants to get awav
from between the devil and the deem

Singular Charges Against
His Wife.

In complaint which was filed In
the Lake superior court in Hammond

al Transfer railroad, and resides in
East Chicago, where he has consider
able property, which is described in

that he is engaged in a dangerous oc-
cupation, she persuaded him in the
event of his death there would be less
difficulty for her to gain possession of
the estate
He finally was convinced by her that
this was right, and placed the prop
erty In her name. As soon as this was
done she abandoned him, according to
the complaint. and took with her all of
the household furniture

Of FEDERAL
COURT SOON
Judge A. B. Anderson, for
First Time in History of
Hammond Federal Court,
Will Try Four Cases in
April Before Jury.

For the first time since the federal
building was built in this city. four
years ago. Judge A. B. Anderson of
the Indiana federal court viii hold
court here and will try four cases.
Judge Anderson has sat in Hammond
three times in the past four years, but
in each case he tried only court cases
and jury was not called. This time.
however, a petit jury is to be called,
and already the jury commissioners at
Indianapolis are making a selection of
a jury of twelve men from northern
Indiana, who will sit In Hammond dur
ing the session OF court here
In addition to the four cases which
are to be tried here, there will be 10s
APPLICATIONS for second papers, and it
three days.
This will make it necessary for Judge
A. B. Anderson to spend at least a
week here. Judge Anderson is an in
teresting character in the public eye
just at this time for the reason that
1t was he who recently tried the fa-
nous Standard OIL case In which Judge
Landis' s29, ,000, 900 fine was reversed.
The date set for the calling Of the
first petit jury in Hammond Is April
81, and there is said to be no doubt
that the jury will be called in spifa
of the skepticism of the Hammond
and Lake county attorneys.
One of the most important cases viii
be a suit brought against the Inland
Steel company of East Chicago.

After her mysterious disappearance
from the window of the theater she
was taken to the Hotel Carleton, where
she was soon after given the proper
medical attention.
DR.. Graham, when questioned about
the matter. stated that the young wo-
man had a case of grip, which was
probably superinduced by exposure in
the theater window.
He said that the woman who was
hired to watch her during the night
probably fell asleep and permitted the

CITY
HAVE PARK
SPEEDWAY?
Horse Owners Bring Infiu-
ence to Bear on Board of
Public Works to Make
Track in Harrison Park
Racing Course.

Shall Hammond have speedway in
Harrison park. or not? This question
Is perpiexing the board of public works
greatly, not because of the expense
involved in building up the present
driveway, but because the board is not
quite sure as to the public sentiment
on the question.
Horse owners appeared before the
board of public works this morning
and asked that the board grade the
driveway in such a manner that a
speedway would be possible. The ex-
pense involved in doing this would not
be much more than $50. But the oues-
tion that is vexing the boards is, would
it be safe to the geenral public in max
ing speedway.
The arguments advanced against the
speedway are that human lives would
be endangered by the driving Of fast
horses on the smooth, quiet track.
Many Arguments for 1t.
That is the sum and substance az
the argument. On the other hand,
there are quite number of horse
owners who would like to exercise
their animals in the park Parks in
other cities have speedways. and the
making speedway Hammond would
get a new sport, the Saturday after
noon matinees. which are open TO the
public free of cost. It would induce
other Hammond people to bring fine
horses into this city
The board of public works is rather
inclined to favor the horse owners. but
has taken the matter under advisement
and If they favor them it will be only
under the provision that the speed-
way be used as such only during the
very early morning hours, before visit
ors inhabit the park, and that the
matinees be entirely under police SUI
pervision. With such restrictions it is
argued that there would not be any
objection. The board went to the park
this afternoon to look over the situa
tion. lot of people will enter oh

The board at its meeting this morn

be made along that line this year.
