LAKE COUNTYS DELEGATION
PLEASED At THE RESULTS

Lake county's forty-seven delegates
at the republican state convention at
Indianapolis were a power that was
county republicans gave a majority to
every candidate on the publican tick
ct last fall also placed this delega-
tfon in a position where its requests
were given thoughtful consideration by
the politicians fro mover the state.
Judge Harry B. Tuthill of Michigan
City by vote SO large that he lead
the ticket by 157 votes. The work of
the Lake county delegation in the in
terests Of the Michigan City man was
splendid and caused interested comment
among all OF the delegates.
The Lake county boys got together
early in the game. and it was then de-
cided that the nomination of Judge
Tuthill for the office of appellate judge
would be the demand of the local dele
cation. 1t was thought that Lake
county's proud showing in the past
warranted it in asking this much.
Make Good Deals.
When deals were made other delega-
tions 1t was always in return for votes
| for Tuthill. And there were enough
deals proposed. for Lakes fortysever
votes looked pretty large to all of the
| candidates. Lake county also threw Its
support to Judge Rabb.- for the. reason

Salary of City Secretary Of

The only matter of record was the ap-
proval of the minutes OF the last ses-

The salary question in connection
with the office. of the secretary of the
board of health received some discus
sion. DR.. w. D. Weis being present to
present his side OF the question. Inas-
much as City Attorney John Gavit gave
1t his opinion that the law on the
question must be construed to read that
the salary should be based on the pop
ulation of city, the council decided
to lay the matter over until an accurate
census has been taken. The state
board of health credits Hammond with
population of 1878. At the rate OF
two and one-haf per cent per capita
this would allow the secretary approxi-
| kuately $500 a year in salary. DR.. Weis

WILL TAKE
Up A NEW
NAME FOR II.

The meeting of the Hammond Busi-
ness Mems association. scheduled for to-
morrow night, is expected to be one of
great interest to the busienss men of
the community.
Many of them have refused to identi-
fy themselves with the organization
for the reason that its scope was too
narrow, and ii was not representative
of the commercial activities of the city.
This misapprehension was largely due
to the fact that the association has
been mis-named, or rather that it has
broadened its scope to such ex-
tent that the old name no longer ap-
plies.
The meeting Thursday will take up
this proposition and several others, and
Ii is expected to be of interest to
members and any others who feel that
the work of the association has done
merits the support of the business men
and proeprty owners of the community

TO TAKE Up
IMPORTANT
MATTER
Hammond People Should
Lend Business Mems As
sociation Every Aid to
Land State Grand Army
Encampment for City.


When the Hammond Business Mems
association meets for its regular
monthly meeting tomorrow night in
Weis' hall. it may be presumed that
the majority of it's members will be
able to discuss the question of secur-
ing the state G. A. r. encampment for
Hammond in an intelligent manner.
Members of the association who have
discussed this question among them
selves realize that comparatively lit
tie time remains in which to take de-
cided action, especially when 1t is re-
membered that the Hammond Business
Mems association is to take the initia-
tive and holds but one regular meet
ing month.
Sentiment Seems Favorable.
The 1910 encampmenti this year will
meet at Terre Haute. and the meeting
will be held in May. and unless a spe-
cia1 meeting is called there remains
only the meeting of tomorrow night
and the May meeting in which the
matter can be acted on.
A little probing of the sentiment IN
Hammond indicates that Hammond
| would be willing to welcome the veter-
ans and their friends who gather annu
ally in convention to the number O
! 10000. The only question that ha.
| arisen is whether Hammond will b,
able to house all the visitors. To thi
| 1t has been answered that cities il
Indiana TO larger than Hammond hav,
been equal to the occasion, and tha
| there is no one city in the state who's,
| public hostelries would attempt to TAX
care of all the visitors. Accommoda
| tion at reasonable rates in privat

CO. ORDERS

Charles NJ Schwab's Bethlehem cor
poration has submitted statement for
the fiscal year ended Dec. 81 1t is in
sheer contrast to the former reports
of this company in that every vital
item shows prosperity.
The net profits increased over 1908
$674,2SS. The orders on hand Dec. 81
which were untitled amounted to $14.-
07S,s34 which is double that on the
same date in 1908. President Schwab
says that the great increase in orders
booked during the last year is unpre-
cedented. Since Dec. 81 contracts have
been entered into amounting to over
$10,o00.000 for armor, armament, etc.
for the navy of the Argentine. so that
at the present time the uncompleted ed

what was probably the greatest pub

HUSBANDS
GUILTY Of
SWEARING
Three Complaints Are Filed
in Lake Superior Court in
Which Unhappy Wives
Bring Charges Against
Their Spouses.

Two husbands used very naughty
language in addressing their wives
and one wife was guilty of very un-
lady-like conduct in the use of swear
words directed toward her husband.
according TO three divorce complaints
which were filed in the Lake superior
court this morning.
This, by the way, is an illustration
of the fact that nine out of every ten
divorce complaints contain the allega-
tion that the defendant is in the habit
OF using vile and abusive language to-
ward the plaintiff Another familiar
cause of marital unhappiness is drunk
enness and in seven out of every ten
divorce complaints this is given as the
cause of the trouble.
Elizabeth Cahill has brought an ac-
tion against her husband. James Ca

ped her and used opprobrious epithets
towards her. Further tlran that he
pleaded guilty to the charge OF forgery

ed and disgraced as a result They

the plaintiff asks the custody. The
couple was married at East Chicago on

takes on the duties For some reason
the umpire is armed with one of the
regulation paddles. but we never saw
him use ii. 1t might be a good stunt for
base ball umpires.
Ten men are put out before a side is
retired. All afternoon we saw four flies"
caught, and We were told that il had
been an exceptionally good fielding day.
Not many flies are caught. as a rule.
The ball is a hard one-more like
bowling ball, but covered with two pieces
of leather.
While we were sitting there under the
trees doing away to the songs OF the
humble bees and mosquitoes, We heard a
cry-almost a death Strickland We shud-
dered. Yes. it was an accident. Acct
dents can happen in anything-even in
cricket.
Ii was the wicket keeper-the man with
the long buckskin gloves and the shin
guards. He was holding his nose, from
which the blood was trickling in large
claret drops, and there were looks of
anxiety on the faces of the other players.
MY word. hold chappie, him hin
jured. dawn't y know. The bloomin'
ball it the bloody balls hand the bloody
balls 1T me hin the h'eye, crosswise h'of
the nose"
Dreaming as we were. we did not see
the accident, but ii looked TO me like
clear case of why didn't he wear
mask" And it's wonderful what damage
one of those little spools can do. In fif-
teen minutes AFTER the IlJuTeu pidyeT
had been removed from the game his
nose was the size of foot ball. and had
taken on the color OF an over-ripe to-
mato.
This taking out of the injured player
made the team shy one man. The cap
tain, ripped asunder by the pathos OF the
occasion, ambled toward our tree and
gently requested that l should fill the
vacancy.
Come, now. hold man, YOU can play

Nix, not for mime I said. IF had

of clearing the field, but l draw the

Bat the sketch artist vert into the
game. A score of the game showed that
he had caught and bowled a man." and
not knowing what this meant, the artist
kept the art room door locked for two
days, being of the opinion that the police
were after him. The only thing i saw
him do was TO hit one OF the other
players in the mouth with the ball, max
ing a wide swing and throwing with a
quick jab like Ainsmith of the Nationals

the wicket keeper do that you can re-
main hin the gyme. Just go ahead hand
bat again."
That was my first impression of the
game. There is no heated-to- the burning
point conversations between the umpire
and the players. The umpire or the
player yields his point without a muir
muir and no rule books are pulled by the
managers. When player becomes tired
of hitting the ball his captain calls to an
other player, who, by the way, is sitting
beneath an oak tree slipping his tea and
chatting on the boundless possibilities of
his making skier when he comes to
bat.
III sye. Mr.. Rourke. viii you h'oblige
us to the h'extent of taking the place OF
Mr.. All in the game. f his getting
pretty tired
Mr.. Rourke relieves Mr.. All at the bat
and the latter comes under the trees for
his tea and lady fingers. He can be
placed back in the game whenever he
feels like it and Mr.. Rourke can be taken
out. They never bench a player when he
gets loud. because of the simple reason
that he never gets loud. The spectators
can drink pop" and there is no tempta-
ton for them to hurl the bottles at the
umpire when a decision is contested. The
umpire is also relieved whenever he gets
