Summer Street Shocked at
Scandalous Affair in
Which Two Well Known
Hammond People Are ImS
plicated.

Naughty, scandalous. disgraceful, ara
the adjectives that are used in the va,A
rious circles where the particulars oe
an escapade involving a well-knowu
Summer street woman and a populaR
young Hammond man are concerned.
Those on the inside do not know
at whose actions to be more sure
prised, that of the married woman or
the young man. But above IT all
stands out the fact that the young
man found himself in a position where.
he had to face the irate husband o1I

street clad in a garb not at all fitted

young man first sought refuge under
a piece OF furniture, but later was
forced to make his escape through the.
window. being speeded on his way by
the force which usually furnishes a

the time when the young man was

Old Mrs. Grundy is busy-very busy.
It has ben a long time since she has
found such rich "pickings." The name
of the young man, at least, cannot be

ACTION Of
THE JURY
AMAZING
Eugene Brokaw, Alias Long,
Is Cleared of Charges in
Superior Court, to the AS
tonishment of Court Ha-
bitues, Today.

That you can never tell what jury
will do was proven by the action of
the jury which tried Eugene Brokow,
charged with attempting to pass three
worthless travellers cheques upon the
agent OF the American Express com
pany, in this city. and acquitted him of
the crime.
The evidence was strong; that Bro
kow admitted that he was in bad; that
he had secured the cheques from evil
companions IN the red light district;
that he came to Hammond under an
assumed name and his real name was
not revealed until after his arrest.
That he called at the American Ex-
press office and represented himself as
Long, not Brokow. that he attempted
to get $500 on the cheques and that
he failed utterly
Tried Trick Before.
But the most discriminating part of
the evidence is the fact that he at
tempted the same thing in Evanston
and Immediately after his release in
Hammond was re-arrested and taken
to Evanston. Ill, where he will be tried
for the same offense as he was in this
city, but on different charge.
The remark was heard today that
the only thing Brokow had in his ia
vor was good lawyer. when he went
" 10 the case, and today he is a free
mn. The jury freed "the boy" as Jo-
seph Conroy. his attorney, called him.
although he was as old as Conroy
himself and now the boy will have to
go before another jury and explain his
strange actions toward the American
Express company at court in Evans

One of the most encouraging fea-

The report states that, The annual

East Chicago, Nov. 13.-Dr. A. Sch

statement in reply to Mayor Becker'at
claim that East Chicago was so corr
rupt that amalgamation with it would
be undesirable and that many OF the
Industries there woull be glad to be To-
Gated in Hammond
Mr Schlieker said: Il do not think
that East Chicago has been corrupt
during the past few years. and we are
in better shape in this respect than
ever before.
Naturally the people Of East Chi
csgo resent the aspersions that have
been cast upon it by the mayor Of
Hammond. We are. however. con-
vinced that the people of Hammond
do not take the view Of their mayor
in this matter and we blame the in
dividual and not the citizens Of Ham,
mond.
Relations Friendly.
The relations between the cities OF
Hammond and East Chicago have been
friendly in the past. and 1 am sure
that East Chicago will be big enough
to overlook the hostile and ill-advised
attack Of the mayor.
The boundaries Of East Chicago and
Hammond meet and the cities are
building together so rapidly that It Is

Besides this, the different states re-
ceived for school and road purposes

national forests amounting last year
to $447.O64. The direct return to
the states in lieu Of taxes on the lat
million acres, the estimated area Of

20 $6I6,3S4 in cash and free use'

In 1907. the total OF free use" ma
terial and money paid over amounted
to about S.4OO. The increase Of
the amount given to the states from
10 to a5 per cent OF course is largely
responsible for the large return in
1908. but even had this percentage
not been changed q good increasa
would have been shown. despite the
decentralization of the lumber busi-

In fact. this increase may be looked

ing the team and its supporters are
confident Of scoring a victory over the
Spokane players.
Those composing the debating
team are Dwight Leeper. Earl Shoup
and Helen Noble. The question to be
debated is. Resolved. that Labor
Unions are Justified in Insisting BY
all Lawful Means Upon the Closed
Shop" The local team represents
the negative side OF the question.
Tn debators have spent much time in
gathering data in support OF their.
side, and are not only thoroughly IA
miliar with II. but are in a position
to meet with intelligent and clInching
argument every point that can be
raised by the opposing team. The To-
cal debators have spared neither time
nor effort in securing data which will
conclusively show that the policy pur-
sued by labor unions is not only det-
rimental TO the members OF the or
ganization. but that the means adopt
ed by them-the strike. which. car
ried out on large scale, generally
results in loss Of both life and prop
erty. and the boycott, method which
has not only been frowned upon. but
denounced by the highest court OF
the land, are vastly detrimental and
injurious to the people at large. The
debators feel that when these facts
are intelligently presented to the
three unbiased judges this evening
there can be but one verdict, and that
unanimous one for the negative.
The judges selected are President
Penrose OF Whitman College; Super.
intendent Carpenter OF the Pullman
public schools, and Professor Samp.
