: JUST LIKE
A WOMAN,
THE OPINION

"Just like woman" was the only
verdict in the city court this morning
when the state asked that the case
against Larkin Maxwell and Emma
Hinman be nolle pressed. The wife
of Maxwell came up from Monticello,
Ind. last Saturday and caused her hus-
bands and Emma Humans arrest on
statutory grounds. The case was con-
tinued until this morning. but the wo-
man refused to appear to prosecute the
case. There being no complaining wit
nesses the case against the couple was
dismissed.
Mrs. Maxwell is said to have unbur-
dened her heart to friends in Ham
mond last Saturday and said that she
would be only too glad to take back
her spouse, and this may account for
her absence at the hour for trial.
1t was generally understood today
that Maxwell. who is the president OF
the teamsters' union, will return to his
wife

.FUlIz ESTATE SUES
FOR HEAVY DAMAGES
Crumpacker & Crumpacker
Bring Suit Against Con-
tractor Lavene.

The first damage suit to be filed as
a result of the accident which happened
on the Taper block last fall was filed
in the. Lake superior court this morn
ing when Charles H Friederichs, ad-
ministrator OF, the estate of Byron T..
Fultz. brought suit to recover Slo,0oo
damages from Matthew Lavene, the
mason contractor on the building. The
suit was filed by Attorneys Crumpack-
er & Crumpacker
There were three paragraphs in the
complaint, each OF which recited the
circumstances under which the acci-
dent is alleged to have occurred, and
stated that it was due to the negligence
of the contractor.
The facts as set forth by the plaintiff
are that the terra Gotta on the top OF
the wall had not been properly braced
and that the scaffolding upon which
the workingmen stood was not proper
| ly constructed.
| This indicates the lines along which
! the suit for damages will be fought
/ The complaint is very voluminous
affair. and goes into the most minute
details.

"GObb[E

ONE FIGHT
Annexation Talk Creates a
Big Furore in Hammond,
and ALI Kinds of Rumors,
Some Of Them Quite Silly,
Are Put Afloat.
A thousand arguments and one fight

A thousand arguments and one fight
resulted from the announcement yes
terday that the city of East Chicago
had annexed the cities of Hammond
and Whiting. To say that the action of
the East Chicago council created a SEN
sation is stating 1T mildly.
There were all kinds of rumors afioat.
One was that all of the democrats ex-
cept the Becker crowd would be will
ing to agree to annexation providing
John D. Smalley was appointed comp
troller. This report is. however. posi-
lively without foundation.
1t is known that there are a large
number of democrats who will aid the
annexation movement in Hammond.
These democrats are men who are big
enough to eliminate petty political con-
siderations in the interests of a bigger
and better city. Practically all of the
republicans are in favor Of annexa-
tiCn.
Opposition Natural.
This is due to the fact that there are
no political considerations to warp
their better Judgment, and they are
able to look at the proposition purely
as a business matter. The democratic
opposition is natural It will mean the
elimination of two democratic mayors
and the substitution of a single repub-
lican executive. That is the straw that
breaks the democratic camels back
But the fact that the people of Ham
mond are not very much concerned
up is shown by the fact that nearly
every one looks upon the humorous side
of the matter. @

favored amaigamaticn, but did not like
the idea of being carried of by East
Chicago in the night time.
So far the principal argument that

No Debts; No Resources.

Hammond may not be in debt, but that
the city is as poor as a church mouse
when it comes to scheduling it's assets
And the arguments are advanced

who favor annexation are very much
amused at the conniption fits that the
opponents of annexation are having

should be unayailing, will be the great

one. This applies at least to East Chi
cago proper. over in the Harbor there
was less enthusiasm manifested. Some
few even shrugged their shoulders
when asked what they thought of the
measure, but even in the Harbor there
were found a good many who favored
the move and who see in the peremp-
tory action of the council, the only solu-
tion for the amalgamation problem.

Mayor Schlieker. meantime, is being
highly commended for his foresight in

BURIED UNDER Pile
OF BONES; DIES

Stanislaus Bolsowiak. an employee of
the Hirsch-Stein company. who was
fatally injured last Monday afternoon
when he was buried under a heap of
bones which were saturated with sui
phuric acid, died yes erday evening and
the inquest was held this afternoon by
Coroner Shanklin- AS nearly as could
be established before the testimony

fertilizer department OF the IIirsch-
Stein works. Instead of shoveIing
from the top ne shoveled from the bot
tom, undermining the pile of bones.
The pile began to slide from the top
and covered him.
He was not only crushed and burned
by the acid saturated bones. but he
was also forced to breath the poison
Gus fumes until he was extricated
Bolsowiak was married and leaves
a wife in the old country. The fu-
neral has been arranged for tomorrow

minutes To complete the remaining
two blocks from Oakley avenue to Hoh-
man street costs the company in round
figures 5000 over and above the cost
that is generally incurred in building
an interurban. The extra cost is due
to the crossings over the Nickel Plate,
Erie and Monon railroads. The in
terurban is preparing for It's double
track system and is installing double
crossings or twelve in all. There will
be a day or two of delay on the over
head construction. there is a short
age of wire. In the meantime the
ground work continues, and the cement
mixer was put to work this afternoon
When this is completed the ties Will

HAS TWO
ALTERNATIVES
Says If Hammond Does Not
Want Amalgamation They
Don't Have to Have It.

In answer to the argument that
amalgamation is all right but that
the method the East Chicago city Of
fcials have adopted in bringing it
about is wrong, Mayor Schlieker made
the following statement today:
LAS matter of economy in the adj
ministration of public affairs the citi-
zens of East Chicago. Hammond and
Whiting demand that their respective
cities be amalgamated. At the meet
ing of the Mems club in Hammond a
few months ago there was practically
unanimity of opinion in favor of
amalgamation.
The only opposition to the PROPOSE
tion came from Mayor Becker and the
other officeholders. East Chicago is
and has been in favor of amalgamation.
That being the case. it was my duty
as mayor to seek to bring about a CON-
summation that would be desirable not
only to my own constituents, but to the
people Of HsdnnionIse ses well 81

RANK SHOWS

Chicago Ill. March %, 1910.
Editor. TIMES, Hammond Ind.
My Dear Mr.. Parry:
After reading the criticism rela-
tive to the burlesque show that
played in Hammond Saturday night,
in THE TIMES, 1 have decided not to
play another burlesque show IN the
Towle Opera House while I have
the lease and will guarantee this
to be a fact. have come to the
conclusion that you cannot depend
on the managers word relative to
the performances Mr.. Belfrage,
manager of the Lid Lifters.' guar
anteed me that the show would be
clean and free from all vulgarity.
Under these circumstances 1 booked
the show. I have decided not to
take any more chances and will not
play another burlesque show from
now on, so kindly announce this de-
cision in the columns of your pa
per.
Thanking you for past favors and
with best wishes. I remain,
Sincerely yours,
JAMES WINGFIELD."

TRYING TO
tAND MEET
Rev. F. III. Elliott Making
Vigorous Effort to Bring
State G.. A. r. Encamp-
ment to Hammond Next
Year.

Rev. F. NJ Elliott. who is one of the
most enthusiastic veterans of the In
diana G. A. r. encampment, has in
preparation a short talk which he
hopes to deliver before the Hammond
Business Mems association at it's next
regular meeting relative to the G. A. r..
encampment for Hammond
Sentiment on this important matter
must crystalize in a short time, as the
next encampment will be held at Terre
Haute some time in May, and Ham
mond must get in its bid at this con-
vention. The invitation must have the
backing. Of a united Hammond. with
every civic organization, lodge and So
ciety and every public spirited citizen
working in favor of it.
The sooner the sentiment crystalizes
the better, and therefore the Hammond
Business Mems association will be in
better position to act at its next
meeting. 1t would be a matter OF
assistance to the local G. A. r. post and
business mems association If any per-
son or organization would address them
on the matter.

The bringing of the G. A. r. encamp-
ment to Hammond would be the big
gest advertising feature that the city
and the Calumet region has ever had.
1t would mean the bringing Of from
$1,000 to 25.000 people to Hammond to
stay here for three or four days and
learn the advantages of the city and
the region. No other meeting could
possibly bring SO many people together
1t is Hammond's one big chance.
The next convention will be held
at Terre Haute. Bids for the 1911
convention. must be put in at this
meeting. Evansville has already a a
previous meeting put in a bid for the
1910 convention. and, according to the
unwritten law, ought to be entitled to
the 1911 encampment. If this program
is put through Hammond will stand a
good chance of at least getting the 1912
ccnycntion.
1t has been the policy of the state
encampment and the central body of
the Womens Relif Corps to hold their
meetings together at the same time and
the same place. With this program car
ried out in Hammond the number, of
course. would be materially increased.
