They WILL
DEPORT THE
OLD MAN

Attorney Joseph Conroy has receiv
ed a letter from Congressman E. ID.
Crumpacker, now at Washington, in
which he says that, although he has
done all he could to prevent the deport-
alton of Mato Pustena, his daughter,
Stanca, and his granddaug Lyuba
Paljug, the government insists that
they must be sent back.
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Nagel, Senators Beveridge and Shively
and Congressman f. p. Crumpacker did
all in their power to prevent the de-
portation of the trio. but it is feared
that their efforts will be of no avail.
The government takes the position
that Mato Pustena is a senile old man
and that he is likely to become pub
lie charge. The habeas corpus pro-
ceedings that have been started are yet
10 be decided. but Attorney Joseph
Conroy said he did not hope for much
from that source.

CHANGES
WILL SOON
Be MADE

That Mayor Becker is contemplating
some changes on the board of public
works is a report that was confirmed
by the mayor himself today in a talk
with THE TIMES. Just how many of
the present members are to vacate the
office and who the members are Mayor
Becker would not say, giving as his
reasons that he really did not know.
Tie time of the year is propitious
for the report, and while Mayor Beck
may have had the change in mind
for a long time, he has discussed it
with very few. Even the members of
the present board while prepared for a
removal at any time have no knowledge
from the mayor directly that a change
will be made. The relation between
the board and the mayor has been
most cordial, and if a change is made
it is said that it will be due to the fact
that the mayor is being asked to pass
the office around

GETS HIS
STOCK BACK

1t is understood that Eugene Pur-
telIe, the promoter of the Northwest
ern Indiana Traction company, has
sent each of the Lake county stock
holders blocks of stock according to the
amounts they have subscribed, but that
in each case they have sent the stock
back to him.
They have done this for the reason
that they have been advised by their
attorneys that they will become liable
for the liabilities of the company if
they do SO.
AS the liabilities now exceed by a
large figure the assets of the com
pany, and there seems to be little
likelihood that the project will succeed
under the present manag cement of the
company the stockholders are willing
to suffer the loss of the amount they
have subscra@bed for stock rather than
shoulder their proportionate share of
the Indebtedness of the company.

GET NEXT
MEETING

A press censor, whose duty it shall
be to put curb on the notoriety-
seeking doctor, is the latest innova-
tion in the Lake County Medical So
ciety.
A meeting was held in Hammond on
Wednesday night at which this meas
ure was introduced with al resolution
that the president of the organization
appoint members of the society located
in the various parts of the county to
act in that capacity.
The meeting was an adjourned ses-
sion of the one held several weeks ago
when officers were elected. Its main
object was to take in new members
in order to bring the number in the
society at least up to seventy-five. This
would insure the Lake County Medical
society two representatives at the
state convention.
1t was also planned to make the fu-
ture meetings as interesting as pos
sible by having a number of papers
read and discussed. The next meeting
