CAN'T COMPEL TRUSTEE
Supreme Court Has Ruled
on Question of Convey
ing School Children.

The supreme court has decided that
a township trustee could not be man
dated to provide for the conveyance to
a distant school of children living near
a school that had been discontinued, un-
less he had on hand an appropriation
by the township advisory board for
that purpose. A judgment command
ing the trustee Of Perry township. in
Allen county. to purchase a wagon and
employ driver, at an expense of $500,
to haul children TO school, when he had
only s5S.21 in the special school fund
and none Of it had been appropriated
TO pay for their transportation, was
reversed.
Judge Jordan said that. in order foI
the parents of the children to succeed
in a mandamus proceedings. 1t was es-
sential to show not only that it was
the duty Of appellant. as township
trutsee. to perform the tao sought tc
be enforced. but also that as such Of
fcer he had the lawful power and au-
thority to perform the act or discharge
the duty in controversy

pertoire.
President F. c. Miller of the singing
society Immediately upon receiving the
news that the plan would materialize,
got the committee to work on the tick
cts. which will be sold in advance. The
prices will in all probability range
from 25 cents to 81. There is no
question but what the Milwaukee Wis
itors will be greeted by a full house
during their three different visits here
The stock company will come here
from Chicago. where it plays every
Sunday night and Mr.. Miller has been
assured that the personnel in the com
pany will be exactly the same as ths

WON'T LET It
GO BY DEFAULT
Husband Of Divorce AppG-
can't Has Something to
Say roday.

That Mrs. Mary Brooke, whose attor-
neys filed a petition for a divorce for
her yesterday in the Lake superior
court. will not secure release from the
matrimonial bonds, because her hus-
band will let the case go by default. is
indicated by a statement which the lat
ter's legal counsel, w. J. Hojnacki.
made today.
Mr.. Brooke. through his counsel, had
the following to say regarding his
marital entanglements:
L am sorry to expose my married
life in the newspapers, for it is not
very pleasant, but when it comes to
honor and name. I am compelled to do
so, and when the proper time comes, ]
will do so. 1 think there are many
people who know my wife and myself
who will tell a conflicting story to he1
statements.
She says among other things, that
she does housework a the present
time. which is not so. as she is ticke
seller at one of the local theaters
"A year ago this winter I sent hei
to the coast on a pleasure trip, ant
since that time she began to show hel
i'll feeling toward me.
"As to her statements that I am
drinking man, my record as electrician
at the Conkey plant. for three years
| speaks for itself. In this time I hav,
been off only three days, two of which
spent in her company on pleasur,
/ trips"

ARREST MADE
BY DETECTIVE
Former Hammand Man Aids
in Solution of Railroad
Mystery.

Through the arrest at Rochester of a
young Fulton county lad on petit
larceny charge, Detective Fenstermak
er, of the Erie railroad, formerly Of
Hammond, today unraveled a train
wrecking mystery that has baffied the
efforts of the Erie police force for four
teen months. On Jan. 10, 1908, west
bound freight train ran into and pushed
off the track. a mile west of Rochester,
an obstruction consisting of a steel
rail and a cross-tie which had been
placed in position to wreck any east
bound train.
At the time the Erie detectives spent
some time trying to find the culprits
but were unable to make any head
way. The arrest yesterday of a young
farmer boy of the neighborhood, where
the obstruction had been placed, pro-
vided the authorities with clews suf-
fcient to enable them to arrest the
guilty persons.

politics, and it is doubtful whether
he can be drawn In this year. He may

CRUMPACKER
LEGISLATION FIRST
Bill for Taking Census Is
Passed Yesterday in
the House.

Washington. d. c., March 2o.-The
first piece of legislation to be enacted
by the h6use during the special ses-
sion was the Crumpacker bill. pro-
viding for the taking of the thirteenth
census, which was passed yesterday
afternoon. In its present form the
measure given to the civil service com
mission jurisdiction over appointments
and provides for the printing of the
reports by the government printing Of
fee. AS enacted at the last session
the bill stripped the civil service com
mission of such authority, and there
was a provision allowing some of the
printing to be done by private firms
because of which President Roosevelt
vetoed it. A further amendment was
made whereby appointments are to be
apportioned pro rata among the states

William Wolter, city treasurer, and
Otto Duelke, city clerk, will be candi
dates for the democratic nomination to
succeed themselves in the city election
next fall. While this is not exactly
startling news, their candidacy has
grown to be an assured fact and is only
one of the developments which the po
litical situation is bringing about. The
political pot is boiling, not to say
sizzling, and anybody with a good
ear can hear the anvil chorus at work
at the slatemaking. Mayor Becker is
chief superintendent, which makes him
appear as boss of the work. and he is
assisted by a strong force of over
seers. Everybody connected with the
political carpentering, of course. is a
union man. and If not a card holder,
is at least favorable toward the union
shop The frame of the slate is only
being designed al present and pertains
to the city hall offices only. Council
manic jobs are, however being applied
for. as is evident from a three-corner
fight that has broken out on the north
side. where Charles F. Shultz $40 N.

council by appointment. will seek the
nomination against ChdTIes H. 0Shu-

Talk of WeEs for Treasurer.
To add to the complexity of the sit
uation comes the strong rumor that Jo-

a candidate for the treasury nomina-
ton which is added to BY the fact
that some of his friends would like to
see him run for mayor Mayor Becker

SHUTTLE
TRAINS To
Use NJ. c.
Gary & Western Will Not
Connect With the Nickel
Plate as Was Generally
Believed About New In
terurban System.

It was learned today that the Gary
and Western will not run into Ham
mond over the Nickel Plate railroad,
but will run over the Michigan Central
road to its Oakley avenue station. This
means that the agent a the Michi-
gan Central depot in this city will
have twenty-four more trains to keep
account of.
The decision to have the twenty-four
Gary & Western trains come into
Hammond over the Michigan Central
road instead of the Nicked Plate was
made on account of the congested con-
dition of the traffic on the Nickel
Plate road which in spite of it's double
tracks to Osborn, has all it can do to
handle the freight and suburban traf-
fic that now goes over it.
Service only Local.
The people of the region have a
mistaken idea regarding the extent OF
the Gary & Western service. This
service is to be merely local. 1t will
extend from Hammond to Gibson, Toll
lesion, Gary and Miller and return
The trains viii be simply run back ant
forth over this short run.
The service will be installed in E
week or ten days and will be run as
long as it pays. An interesting fac
about the service is that from Ham
mond it will run through the Glib.
son wards to Gibson and thence over
the Gary & Western to the other cities
along the line.
The railroad expects to lose none,
on the service at this time, but it i.
expected to pay eventually. It viii
| be continued and improved as long al
| it is patronized.
