JUDGE BUYS MORE LOTS

Judge Harry B. TuthilI thinks well
Of Hammond. Through Gus jacobson
he recently purchased ten lots in
Marbles addition in Hammond. Judge
Tuthill was in Hammond Saturday and
Sunday looking over the field. Many of
the Judges friends take this as an indi-
cation that he viii locate here as soon
as his term Of office as judge Of the
Porter and Laporte superior court ex-
pires.
Judge TuthilI is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the whole Calumet region and
the fact that he selected Hammond as
a place for investment is significant.
Gus Jacobson also sold fifty feet of
Calumet avenue frontage to Edward
Meyers and another fifty feet to Frank
and Charles White
He also sold one lot in Marbles ad
dition to w. H. Leslie. foreman of the
job printing of the Lake County Print

BOY
BEAT HIS
FATHER
Mccormick Brings
Suit in the Lake Superior
Court for Divorce Because
His Stepson According to
Bill, Wallops Him.

When Henry Mccormick, carpenter
married Polly A. Mccormick about ten
years ago. on Jan. ., 90, to be explicit
and agreed to take her son into his
home he did not have any idea that
she had wheeled Trojan horse into
his new home.
Today Henry, through Attorney W.
]. McAleer, filed a suit for divorce, in
which he alleges that his wife's son
is a strong, able bodied, active young
man. while he. the plaintiff, is a man
Of small stature and is unable to cope
with his son-in-law.
1t Spoiled Everything.
1t appears from the complaint that
everything would have been lovely if
it had not been for the fighting pro-
clivities of the son. Apparently he
took a workout on the father-in-
law every morning before breakfast
and he, being of small stature did
not have ghost of show. He sim
ply had to stand for it. The complaint
says that the plaintiff is So years old
and not as young as he used to be.
A father-in-law does not mind being

ally. but to have to submit to a thrash
ing on numerous occasions is an in
justice and he rebelled.
1t would even have improved the sit
uation if Mrs Mccormick had been in
clined to stand up for hubble. but
instead of that she is alleged to have
used obscene and licentious language
towards her husband. That was heap
ing insult on injury and it was more
than the little husband could stand.
AS small in stature as he was and
as large as the son and his mother
were he delivered his ultimatum to
them one morning, and then got out
of the place as quickly as possible.
leaving them in complete possession
That was on the 9Th day of this month.
Can Snap His Fingers at Folks.
The fling of a complaint for a di-
vorce was the next step, and 1t may
not be long until Mr.. Mccormick will
be a free man. He will then be able
to snap his fingers at the whole fam
lily; wife, son-in-law and ALL and say,

Perhaps the most sensational allega-
ton in the whole complaint is the
of Mccormick that his wife

CITY OFFICIALS

Nothing Is Done to Prevent
Pollution by American
Maize Products Co.

The authorities of Hammond, of
the state and of the United States
are unanimous in declaring that the
water pollution of the lake by the
Glucose works is a menace to health.
Hammond has shifted the blame
on the state. The state officials say
that Hammond is alone to blame.
In the meantime nothing is being

THE TIMES last Monday, In which
Chas. Friedrich voiced the sentiment of
hundreds of Hammond people, has
snapped the last chord of patience in
hundreds more, and it will now be
only matter of n short time before
the blame for this delay will be fixed.
The Hammond city administration,
through its board of health. has al
ready shifted the blame on the state
authorities. The latter have all the

What Barnard Said.

III. f. Barnard of Indianapolis.
chemist, said, in speaking of the
work of the commission, that
Lake Michigan is the source of
water supply for four states and
two countries. He said the ques-
tiOns before this commission for
study were the vital statistics
of the cities and towns border
ing on the lake and using its
water for public supply; the
determination of the exhaust
condition of the water at all
points along the lake; the Ioca-
tiOn of the city sewers and the
volume Of sewage emptying
from them; the location of the
water works intakes and the
volume of water supplied 10
them; the possibility of the pur-
ificatiOn of the waters already
polluted; the effect of Lake
Michigan water upon the colon
bacillus and the bacillus typh-
osus and obtaining in the sever
al bordering states, legislation
of uniform character which
would tend to prevent further
pollution of the lake.

Hammond, Ind:
In answer to your telegram
would say that the only way for
Hammond to prevent the pullu-

Is for the city to bring suit for
relief and mandate the glucose
works to Immediately stop pol
luting the lake, then begin suit
for damages to force sanitary
disposal. The Indiana state
Board of Health has not a rag
of power, not even ought 1T to
bring suit in cases like this, and
