TROUBLE IS ALL
STRENGTHENED OUT
Parents of Boys Are Greatly Amused
Over Trouble" and Faculty Is Not
Worrying Over the Dangers of an
Insurection In the Central High
School.

The members of the Hammond high
school faculty are much exercised over
the greatly exaggerated reports that
several of the Hammond boys are TO
be expelled on account of their mem
bership to a club of high school boys.
who designate themselves the Kappa
Kappa's, in imitation OF the college
Greek letter fraternities.
One of the members of this so-called
fraternity has read of the trouble that
real fraternities have caused in other
cities, and so when the high school
authorities informed the ten young
men they would have to change the
name Of the innocent little organiza-
ton to which they belong. Little Dan
ny Dreamer. the press agent of the
bunch, thought he would start large
sized scandal.
In a lengthy account in a local pa
per the parents of the boys were pic
tured as excitedly forwarding objec-
tions to the action of Principal Nc
Elroy The story said merely had
done a little butting in and had
made threats that would never be put
, into effect"
Terrible Mask Removed.
Such was the bold and daring def-
ance of the club. in reality one mem
| Der of the club. The other members
| today disclaim any knowledge at all of
| the narrowing details of the rebellion
in the high school. Their better sense
| has prevailed. and one Of them told Prin-
cipal McElroy that the statements made
last night is not at all representa-
tive either of the attitude of the boys
| or their parents
The facts are that the trouble was
/ ironed out this morning with little
trouble. Little Danny Dreamer readily
1 agreed to put aside all ideas Of a trip
| on the warpath.
The name Of the organization Will be
| changed regardless of whether such an
action is opposed by a majority OF one.
The boys have further agreed that they
| Will not meet during the school week,
and. intact, there was no trouble to
| speak of.
Most of the high school students are
exceedingly loyal to the faculty OF
the high school. which has been ex-
ceedingly liberal with them. and the
suggestion of an insurrection was far
| thest from their minds

BINzEN FILES APPEAL
Gary Men Will Fight the
Boards Decision to the
Last Ditch.

Theodore Binzen and several other
Gary saloonkeepers have fled volumi-
nous appeals from the decision of the
commissioners of Lake county in the
matter of the remonstrance.
This is taken as an indication that
some Of the Gary saloonkeepers. at
least. have determined to fight the re-
monstrance to the last ditch The tran
script of the appeal is one of the most
complete that has yet been filed and
indicates that the attorneys for the sa-
loonkeepers are making careful prep
aration for the fight that is to follow.

AUCTION SALE WAS
WELL ATTENDED
Many Hammond Buyers At
tend Recht Department
Store Sale.
$4,000 WORTH OF GOODS SOLD
Auctioneer Sells the Stock in $50
Different Packages-0ther
Bankruptcy Cases.

The auction sale Of Solomon Recht's
department store stock, in Whiting, was
one of the most successful that has
ever been held in this region. This
was bonahde auction sale of the
bankrupt merchants goods. and every
thing in the store, a stock of over So
600. was sold out in five hours and
half.
At first bids were received on the
entire stock as a whole and Given and
Pitzele of East Chicago offered $4,000
for it. This offer was refused. how
ever. and so the auctioneer prepared
to sell the goods in smaller parcels
AS the auction had been we'll adver-
tised in THE TIMES and consequently
was known in every locality in the
region. there were a large number of
active buyers present One estimate
is that there were never less than fifty
active bidders on hand at any time dur
ing the day.
How They Were Sold.
The goods was divided into $50 par
cells and Auctioneer Samuel L. Winter
nitz. one of the best men in the busi-
ness, proceeded to get rid of the goods.
The sales took place on an average of
two minute, which seems hardly pos
sible.
The auction began at II o'clock and
at 6 o'clock in the afternoon everything
/ had been sold The total amount real
/ lied from the sale was $5,450, and this
+ Is 5000 more than the amount which
the auctioneer held out for in the sale
/ of the whole stock in bulk.
The referee in bankruptcy met the
creditors of Baccelh and Ricei this
morning and arranged to sell out the
stock in this store next Monday. The

HEGEWISCH NOT
IN SYMPATHY
Obstructionists in Chicago
City Council Roundly
Scored.
SERVICE IS MUCH NEEDED
Petitions Are Being Circulated, How
ever, Against the Fran
chise Extension.

Mayor Johnny Patton of Burnham
said to reporter for THE TIMES yes
terday that the people of Burnham
were not at all in sympathy with the
obstructionists in the Chicago city
council, who were continually holding
up the franchise of the Chicago, Lake
Shore & South Bend line.
He said that petitions are being cir
culated in Burnham and its environs
today asking the Chicago city council
to give the people of Burnham the
much needed suburban service.
The Burnham councilmen. those from
the Eighth ward. are very much inter-
ested in seeing the franchise put
through but Alderman McInerary of
the Seventeenth ward is the one who is
making the noise. The people of Burn
ham say they think they know why
he is objecting.
1t develops that the consolidated South
Chicago City railway and Calumet
Electric. which was recently granted
a franchise to build a line from South
Chicago to Burnham by 1910, has ap-
peared before the city council and ask
ed for an extension until 1912.
Circulate Petitions.
This service is very much desired
by the people of Burnham, and Oar
Fitzpatrick is circulating a petition il
Burnham and Hegewisch asking th'
| Chicago city council to refuse the fran
chise extension.
At the present time Hegewisch an'
Burnham are the most inaccessible
| places on the map of Cook county, am
| in spite Of the fact that there are nu
merous railroads running through thes
| places.
1t is with the idea of getting sucl
a strenuous effort to secure street ca
and suburban service.

HUMAN c. MANN IS FREED
 FROM MURDER CHARGE

Chicago, March 1S.-Luman c. Mann was today declared not guilty of the murder of Mrs Francis Gilmore Thomp- son.
 Several members of the jury shed tears when Mann between choking sobs thank zed them and promised to lead better life. Attorney Erbstein, who defended Mann. was fairly mobbed by weeping women who have been con stant attendants at the trial and who insisted upon kissing him.
 The evidence against Mann was cir cumstantial; his defense an alibi. The jury took but one ballot.
 With the words Not guilty from the lips of the foreman the scene in court became one of excitement. bor- dering on hysteria.
 'Ive been a bad man, but years from now you will hear of me as an honest citizen" Mann said in thanking the jury. Tears were rolling down his cheeks and his sobs made it almost impossible for him to speak.

SEARCHING FOR
 KIDD'S TREASURE

New York, March 1S.-"Ten feet below f2. 2.000.0 0O0 lie buried, which inscription is said to have been found years ago on a stone dug from a depth of 100 feet in a hole on Oak island, Nova Scotia, is the magnet that has attracted the at tention of H. L. Bowdoin of this city, and caused him to sign contract with the owners of the island under which he will literally tear up the earth in, quest of the hidden fortune. He expects to be- gin his operations next May
 Tradition has it that Oak island once was a rendezvous for Captain Kidd and his band of pirates and that his ship. the Adventure, often came to anchor in Malone bay, where the spells of the ma rauders' raids on the high seasas were landed and buried.
 Other persons are said to have had rough tilts with fortune in an endeavor to locate the supposed hidden treasure and although all of them have Hailed, it is said that one man, after the hole had become partially filled with water. bored down to a great depth with an augur which. when taken out held particles of gold and the links of an old-fashioned chain.
 MT Bowdoin is a hydraulic and me- chanical engineer and will use modern appliances to dig to the bottom of the hole
