The Norwich Bulletin of Wednesday says:
 ..Paid in Full,r the story of American life by Eugene Walter, which has been seen here before, was presented at the Broadway theatre on Tuesday evening to a well pleased audience, which SO liked the work of the company of seven that repeated curtain calls were given after each act
 decidedly favorable impression was created by ii iss Blanca West in the role of Mrs. Brooks, her handling of the role being with skill and finish, and particu- larly strong was she in the scene with the captain and the closing scene wit b her husband. Fulton Russell, as the husband, did clever bit of work throughout the four acts, while Fred eriek a. Conklin as James smith made the most of his interesting role ss peace maker, and Tom Burroughs as Captain iiliams was typical sea captain, with grun exterior but warm heart May EsSeIle as Mrs. Harris was good as the fauit-finding mother i1l law, wbile Mar gsret Ferrard ss the sister and Adrian fl.

 The play was well staged and the re turn was heartily welcomed, as shown by the amount of applause.

Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Crown Point. Ind, June 9.-The
county commissioners met at Crown
Point today but owing to the fact that
they We're not all present there was
not much done at the morning ses-
sion. Some of the county commission
ers were so interested in the coming
automobile race that they took the op-
portunity to make trip around the
course in an automobile
The matter of the refusal of the
commissioners to grant licenses to Har-
ry Lassen and Bob Russell, both of
Cedar Lake, may come up again. but
it is not believed that the county com
missioners will reconsider their action
1t Is also understood that Senator
Hopkins will attend the meeting this
afternoon and urge the passing of a
franchise for his proposed line from
Gary to Crown Point.
The resignation of Judge w A. Jor-
dan of Hammond was received through
Ernest Shortridge. and It IS understood
that the commissioners will make an
appointment this afternoon. The only
candidates for the office are Charles
Flagg and Edward Ames.
Other routine matters will be taken
up by the commissioners. and it is ex-
pected that the afternoon session Of the
board Will be an important one

Chief Counsel of c., G. & L.
Says He Will Try Real
Hard to Get Court to
Give Hammond a Nice
Little Deepo.

The c., c. & L. depot for Hammond
is, of course as far away a s ever, but
Hammond has at least another prom
ise that it will get one.
Attorney Starr, chief counsel for the
road, which is now in the hands of
the receiver. was in Hammond this
morning before the board of public
works to assure that body that his
company is using its best efforts to
get the courts permission for the ex-
penditure and urged the board to send
the city attorney with him to Judge
Landis in order to present the petit
tion. Attorney Staar hates above ev-
erything a mandamus proceeding. and
it is doubtful whether such a course
would be effective
But such a proceeding. he argued,
would bring the road in discredit with
the Hammond people, a thing which the
company wants to avoid. above every
thing else-if such a thing is still pos
sible.
The board listened very attentively
to Attorney Starts expressions of good
will for Hammond. making an appro-
pirate amount of allowance in the light
of past experience, and instructed the
city attorney to proceed along the most
feasible line to secure the depot

cred up a big pile of stone. and it was
on this pile that he was hurled and
landed there with terrific force

Prefer to Make Their Own Agreement
we cannot afford to be tied down to
the A. l. Drum company. said Mr.
Ijams. And while there is the kind
liest of personal relationship between
the people of our company and the Red
line still We will not overlook the fact
that we have a business proposition
here which we prefer to settle among
ourselves without being compelled to
accept the terms they now offer. We
want to go around the loop as much as
the people Of Hammond want us to use
it. and I am confident that we shall
use it. but we will not be dictated to-
Mr.. Hotchkiss concurred in the sentf-
ments expressed by Mr.. Ijams and said
that he saw nothing in the Red lines

sition.
Mr.. Ijams said that construction on

Sister Issues Statement.

the ancient fable of the master and
the camel seems to appear in a more
modern form in Hammond according to
statement from the Sister Superior
OF St Nargarets hospital
It seems that many Hammond peo-
pie. who think themselves privileged
characters. have made a habit Of at
tending church services in the small
hospital chapel instead Of going to St
Josephs church. The alternative is
taken for convenience sake. but much
to the Inconvenience of the sisters and
