TRAMPS
GIVE THE CITY
WIDE BERTH

Hammond was singularly free from
tramps and panhandlers last Satur-
day and Sunday. H. J. Collins, young
man, was sent to the county jail last
Saturday for having begged under the
pretense of selling shoe strings, but
how the word got around to the gang
in Chicago which came out weekly that
the local police would show them no
mercy. is a mystery to the police.
The gang seemed to have gotten
wind of the fact and decided to stay
away. The police will continue their
vigilance and will have the thanks of
the public for ridding Hammond of the
pests.

TO MANDATE
ASSOCIATION
Leon A. Berezniak Defies
Committee of Lake Coun-
ty Bar Association and
May Mandate Court to
Permit Him to Practice.

Leon A. Berezn1ak, a local attorney
has decided to defy the committee of
the Lake County Bar association, which
has asked him to pass an examination
before he Is admitted to the Lake coun-
ty bar
Berezniak claims that he has a con-
stitutional right to practice at any bar
in the state of Indiana under the pro-
vision of the state constitution, which
makes the only qualifications neces-
sary good moral character, 81 years
of age, resident of the state of Indi-
ana and sobriety
The committee on admission to the
bar association, however, points to a
provision of the statutes which makes
it possible for the court to appoint a
committee to examine into the legal
learning of the applicant.
May Mandate Court
1t is understood that Berezniak plans
to start proceedings to mandate the
court to admit him TO the practice of
law here. If this is done the case will
probably have to be carried to the SUI
preme court, where the question will
finally have to be settled
The committee also took UP the case
of Henry c. Price of Gary. who, 1t is
said, was about to be disbarred in
Marion county when he resigned from
the Marion county bar and went tc
Gary. Mr.. Price has the highest recon-
mendations.
The committee says 1T has the facts
about the matter. and it is possible
that steps will be taken to prevent his
practicing in the Lake county courts
This afternoon in the Lake superior
court Attorney Leon A. Berezniak ap,
peared before Jddge VIRGIL S. Reftel
and demanded that his name be placed
on the list of attorneys who are ad
mitted to practice in Lake county
Simultaneously the committee o
lawyers who had been appointed to in
vestigate the case of the Hammond at
torney reported against him on tn,
ground that he had refused to answe
the questions that they had asked him
Attorney Berezinak denied that th
committee of the bar association ha,
any right to pass upon his qualifica
tions as a lawyer The court informe,
| him that the committee had been ap
| pointed by him and had been delegate,
the power of inquiring into the qualifi
| admission to the bar.
| The judge then made an entry in hi
| docket in which he chronicled the fac
| that Berezniak had been refused admis
| sion to the bar because of his refusa
| to pass the regular examination
| Berezniak introduced evidence to sho,

ERIE MAY
HAVE TO PAY
The BILLS

Albert Belfant, the negro who was
injured in the auto wreck on the. Erie
tracks Saturday, was removed to his
home in Chicago. He suffered frac-
ture of the frontal bone and while his
injury is quite serious, his strong con-
stitution may pull him through.
The Erie railroad may be made the
defendant in damage suit by the
Harder Van company of Chicago. whose
auto truck was wicked in the coll
lision.
The city ordinance provides that the
Erie railroad must maintain safety
gates ct Calumet avenue and Conkey
avenue This the company has failed
to do, although it provides watchman
for the crossing.

House last evening. The show was a

Interesting Facts About the
Vaccinations Under Way
in Democratic Ranks.

The movements Of the foxy trio OF
mayors-Darrow, of La Porte. Becker,
of Hammond and Knots, of Gary, are
being subjected to the scrutiny OF the
democrats of the tenth district.
Throughout the ten counties of the
district the story has gone abroad
that the three city executives are en-
gagged in a covert move to deliver the
democratic congressional nomination
to A. F. Knotts, of Hammond. The
intended recipient of the honors from
the hands of the three wise men is
faithless republican. Hence the pro-
test and watchfulness on the part of
the democracy.
