bROkAW
GUILTY Of
SW|NDL|NG
Young Crook Arrested in
Hammond Confronted by
by Racts in Hands of Au-
thorities, Turns States
Evidence in Chicago.

Eugene Brokaw. who attempted to
defraud C. E. Tunison. agent of the
American Express company in Ham
mond, of 5000 on bogus travellers
checks, will have to suffer for similar
crime in Chicago. He was found guilty
and will be sentenced today.
Oscar Borchert, who returned from
Chicago after he had been In conference
with the judge and the. prosecuting at
trrney there, stated that the EFFORT to
get him out on an alibi was a failure.
She shed Tears.
1t is understood that Brokaw's moth
er tried her usual stunt of shedding
tears for her son in the hope of infiu-
encfng the court, but that 1t had but
little effect.
In attempting to prove an alibi it is
said that Mrs. Brokaw tried to show
that she was with her son wherever
he went. Out on the street, automobile
riding. to the theater and everywhere
the son went, the mother claimed to be
with him.
Give Up Case.
The result was that she became badly
confused, and it is said that she was
repeatedly cautioned by the Judge not
to make any statements that she did
not believe to be true.
Finally before all Of the defendants
witnesses had been heard 1t was seen
that there was no use and Brokav
was compelled to plead guilty. Brokaw
did not have any technicalities upon
which he could lay claim to his free
dom, as was the case at Hammond
In Chicago stern justice was meted out
to the cricina1.
Soon To BE Sentenced.
1t is understood that Brokaw will al
once be sentenced and will then begin
his term in the, pnitentiary. And the
whole credit for his arrest and the fact
that his conviction followed is due tC
Agent C. z. Tunison. who. on the ex-
cuse that he would have to get more
money before the travellers check could
be cashed, called the police and had
the crook arrested.

JURYMEN
CITED FOR
CONTEMPT
Judge E. P. Ames Summons
Jess Pannenborg's Lost
Jury Before Him and
Sends Them Away Chast-
ened Meek.

The jury which was hailed before
Judge Ames' court last evening were
more sober and wiser lot of men
after they had been lectured by the
court and had received the benefit of
few choice remarks on the part of
Attorney Joseph Conroy, who repre-
sented the plaintiff in thr action, which
resulted in the 'losing" of the jury.
All Cited for Contempt.
= The men were all cited for contempt
OF court, and appeared before Judge T.
P. Ames last evening. Judge Ames
brought them to a full appreciation of
the enornity of their offense and in
formed them, that in order that the
dignity of his court might be main
tanned, it was necessary for him to
summarfly summon the fugitive jurors
before the court and reprimand them
for their action in leaving the jurisdic-
ton of the court without having had
the permission of the court to do so.
Judge Ames was followed by Attor-
ney Joseph Conroy, who Informed the
jury of the rules of the court which
make jurors officers of the court and
menable to the will of the Judge. He
told them why 1t IS necessary that the
court to maintain its dignity and i'm
pressed upon their minds the import
ance of observing the courts rules.
Ignorance No Excuse.
He gave them to understand that
ignorance of the law is no excuse and
told them that the offense of which
they are guilty of is one that is pun
ishable by both a fine and imprison-
ment
After the two lectures were over the
men left the court room very much
chastened in spirit One OF the Incl
dents of the proceedings was the state
ment made by Joseph Conroy that Jack
Johnson in the far west and President
Taft in Washington have probably both
read in their evening papers of this
incident.
He gave this as an illstration of the
wide irculation that the news of thei1
action had received. He also showed
that the very fact that the whole
country is talking of their action indi.

The validity of the East Chicago an
nexation of Hammond will be tested
in the circuit court next Tuesday. The
Gary case will be heard on May 10th. 1t
is not known just what position either
East Chicago or Gary will take in the
matter. whether they will let the mat
ter go by default put up at least
semblance of defense for their ac-
tton-
In any event Hammond is quite salts
fed that the case will be nothing more

RACE FOR PLUM
IS GETTING HOT

The race for the Office of joint
representative of Lake and Newton
County on the republican ticket Isl
rapidly becoming one of the most
complicated imaginable. The latest
report is from Newton County and is
to the effect that the republicans
down there will bring out Will Ado
for the Office. Will Ade is brother
of George Ade.
In view of the fact that H. Hs
Granger of Hammond had figured
that he could land the Newton county
delekation this will probably upset
his calculations considerably.
That will leave W. B. vanHorne OF
Indiana Harbor. Clarence NJ Renollet
of Gary and F. Joseph Dorsey of Hau-
mond to fight it out for the support
of the Lake County delegations. Ing
wald Moe of Gary Is also considering
enterting the race.
There are of course conflicting re-
ports as to the strength that the vari>
Gus candidates will have but an
analysis of the claims that each makes

situation.

rs LAKE co.
FOR TAGGART OR
AGAINST HIM?

Are the adherents of the democratic
party in Lake County Taggart men or
Marshall followers, in the event these
two men are candidates for United
States senator to succeed A. J. Bever-
idge, who is himself up for reelection.
Taggart is an avowed candidate, but
Marshall is the promulgator of the
plan to have the democratic state con-
vention which meets next Wednesday,
nominate and endorse the man whom
the next legislature shall send to the
United States Senate. provided the
democrats control the state Legislature
The action of the state convention is
technically not binding on the state
legislature, but in as much as it is
Marshalrs plan to endorse some man.
1t may be reasonably expected that he
shall have some say as to who the

secret that Gov. Marshall rather than
see the king OF French Lick represent

of the United States senate. sacrifice
himself on the altar of political ex-
pediency. or name the man who should

Two Cases Brough.

Two cases have ben brought in
Judge Frank D. Prests court against

The court cases which are being

PASSING OF CARVED FURNITURE

Furniture with ornate carvings is
fast giving way to that of simpler de-
sign. This revolution In style began
several years ago and has gairel so
rapidly in favor that the leading man
ufacturers are now vieing with each
other in producing patterns of straight
or curved lines that have the least pos
sible ornamentation. Egg-and-dart ard
bead holdings, which formerly seemed
Indispensable, are not seen on the finer
pieces nowadays.
In ante-bellum days, a high y orna-
mented sideboard was the show piece
of every well appointed diling room,
and the more carvings it carried the
more extravagantly it was admired,
but the high priced goods of the leld-
ing furniture houses of today are those
of plain but massive appearance, ut
terly devoid of carvings, rosettes, scroll
work, etc. Undoubtedly plain furni-
ture is more desirable than carved, for
the very good reason that it gathers
less dust and is therefore easier to keep
clean, and also for the reason that a
plain surface is susceptible of higher
polish than one embellished with pro-
fusion of carvings.

Any coarse grained wood, particu-
larly oak, should be treated with coat
of filler to make it smooth, otherwise a
good finish is impossible. A good filler
can be purchased at any paint store,

tirely satisfactory: To two parts of

and into this mixture stir enough

Sandpaper the wood until perfectly
clean and smooth, and apply the fl Ter
with a brush, or one may, if he prefers,
put 1t on with a rag or even with the

then rub it all off with a dry cloth.
OF course, that which is in the pores
of the wood will not rub off. Be care
full not to leave it on too long or 1t

s14oo CALIFORNIA BUNGALOW

A writer in the March number of
Beautiful Homes has well described a
typical California residence of the
smaller, inexpensive class; and as the
writer aptly remarks CALIFORNIA; live
a great deal on verandas,' so that
feature is enlarged upon
The two verandas Of this bungalow
are entirely screened, making them
practically "in" the house, and meals
may be served on either veranda with
much comfort during warm weather.
AT all times they are furnished wit
comfortable chairs, couches, wicker
rockers, rugs and palms.
This bungalow is situated in an
orange grove on the Los Angeles slope
of the Sierra Madre mountains, and 1t
commands elegant views of mountain
and valley from either veranda 1t is
built OF rough lumber, box oonstruc-
tion;" that is to say, all the boards
are stood on end. being only one thick
ness, and are bate eled with long
wooden strips outside. The bathrooms,
however, are cove ed over Inside with
tongued and grooyed beaded lumber
and the ceilings of the We. andl and
every room are of the same material.
The exterior of the bunglaw is
stained in a rich brown and the trim
mings are OF the deepest yellow. The
veranda ceilings, door and window cas-
ings are a so of the same deep yellow
outside, making them very light.
The inside woodwork and the ceilings
are painted fiat white, which can be
washed, and when necessary can be
renewed at a very nominal expense
Around the living room ceiling os IL
inch coving of tin, also painted fiat
white The walls, exec t in the bath
room and kitchen. are covered with art
burlap.
Dutch doors are used throughout, ex-
cept for the veranda screen doors. The
closets are ventilated. The house is
screened so completely that a fly in
doors is d curiosity. The Dutch doors
on the outside of the Fren h wind 1ws
are cut in half so that they close either
halfway or wholly at night
This bungalow is an ide | one for
lakeside. seashore, mountain, southern
or Californian home where conf rt is
the chief consideration, and the same
plan could be adapted to colder cli-
mates. The cost of construction was
