CITIZEN
ExCEPTS

DeLorus Herendeen takes exception
to the statement that was issued by
Chief Guard Forest Bowers of Boy
VILE to the effect that he was greatly
Inundated by having charges brought
against him by Bowers.
Herendeen says that he admitted
that he had been guilty of violation
of one of the laws of Boyville, but
he said that he was manly and
straightforward enough to not try to
evade punishment
He says that he offered to submit to
the required punishment, but the city
council thought that it would be best
to pass the matter over this time and
no fine was assessed, neither was he
required to apologize.

Hammond Will Have a
Mighty Quiet Fourth of
July, for Absolutely no
Explosives Will Be Sold
Within City Limits.

Bearing in MIND the three young
lives that Hammond sacrificed last
year on the altar OF an insane Fourth
of July celebration. the board of po-
lice commissioners at their meeting
last night decided to take a firm stand
In favor of a safe and sane celebra-
ton. the stand being taken at this time
In order that no dealer may have an
excuse later for loading up with stock
Rigidly Enforced.
The state law relative to selling fire.
arms to minors and explosives and toy
pistols of any kind to anybody will
be rigidly enforced, and Chief Austgen
was instructed to so notify all proba-
BILE dealers. 1t goes without saying
that the police commissioners and the
police will have the united support of
every father and mother IN Hammond,
and that the only objections will come
from those who would uphold the Gus
tom for a selfish reason.
Law Is Explicit.
Now that the board has taken a
definite stand in the matter, it Will be
our duty to see that the law is en-
forced without favor" said Chief Aust
gen today Chief Austgen cited his
auesttoners to paragraphs 450 and 451
of the general laws of the state as fixed
by the legislature of 1905"

to sell. barter or give to any other

Crown Point, Ind, Feb. 22.-The
blind pig proprietors won their first
victory at Crown Point yesterday
when Tom Magazines, who was
charged with running blind pig in
fha basement Of the building owned
BY IEcnfas =. Knots was tried ana.
after two hours deliberation, was
found not guilty by jury of his
peers at 7:So o'clock last night. The
reason for his acquittal is ascribed
by most persons who heard the case
to the fact that the state failed to
show the proprietorship on the part
OF the defendant. It was proved be-
yond doubt that beer and whiskey
were for sale in the basement of the
Knots building at Seventh avenue
and Broadway.
Evidence
Overwhelming.
While the evidence was overwhelm-
ing that blind pig had been con-
Quoted in the basement of the Knots
building the attorneys for Magazines
raised the question as to whether he
was really the proprietor of the place.
and this technicality was sufficient
excuse for the jury to render a verdict
of not guilty
The testimony as to the character
of the place was such as to leave no
question in the minds of those who
heard the evidence that the place
was being conducted as a blind pig.
The fact that such conditions could
exist in Knots own building Is the
sensation of the trial and may have
something to do with the impeach-
ment proceedings thar will be brought
later on.
Regarded
As Crucial Case.
This being regarded in many ways as
a crucial case. the blind tiger men in
Gary are taking hope. They rejoieed
last night in the news of the acquittal

a disposition on the part of the jurymen
to be lenient with the scores of men in
Gary who violated the liquor laws when
the city became dry.
Prosecuting Attorney Greenwald said
last night that he doubted that the Jury
would bring in verdict of guilty for
the reason that the attorneys for the
defense had demonstrated pretty plain
ly that the wrong defendant was being
tried for the offense.
The case was bitterly fought on both
sides. Special Prosecutor Otto J. Bruce
demanded that Megrames be placed be-
hind the bars On the other hand Clar-
ence Bretsch and j. Frank Meeker
sought to show that Megrames was
neither principal nor accessory, who
is a principal is a misdemeanor to Sc
cure the acquittal Of the defendant.
On What
The Case Hinges.
The case against Megrames hinged
around w. S. Gallagher and his en-
ployees. carpenters and decorators. who
were emplayed for several days in the
basement fixing up the place prepara-
tory to its occupancy as a pool room.
Mr. Gallagher had previously accused
Tom Knots of fostering and permitting
blind tiger to be operated In his own
building. In the heat of the excitement

STATISTICS prepared by the United
States government concerning the num-
Der of fatal accidents during 1909 show
that the motor car is practically at the
bottom of the list, which follows: Rail-
roads, $3.50; burns, 1892; horse-drawn
vehicles, 2, 152; mines and quarries,
1907; poisonous gasses, 1887; other
poisons, 1,779; electric cars (trolleys),
1,753; sunstroke, 816; automobiles, 632;
freezing, 251; lightning, $50; homicides,
1,409. Putting it in another light, au-
tomobiles caused but 2.8 per cent of
the accidents of 1909 as againsc SO per
cent for the horses.

Mr.. TAFT's message gives high
praise to the tariff board, says it is not
ready yet to make any report on any
schedule of the Payne act, declares
that much of the criticism of that
measure is unjust, refuses to recon-
mend any revision of the tariff this
winter, and asks congress to make the
tariff board a permanent commission,
recommending its increase by two
members. As was expected, he de-
clines to urge any amendment to the
Sherman antitrust act, but says exist
ing legislation for the regulation of
corporations should be enforced, and
then the country will learn whether
any changes in the law will be neces-
sary. AS the cases of the Standard
Oil and the American Tobacco Co. are
soon to be reargued before the supreme
court, it would obviously be improper
for congress to attempt to amend the
antitrust act now. In the two suits,
and also in that of the constitutionality
of the corporation tax, some important
points of that statute will be involved.
Not until the highest court speaks can
the president or the country know the
precise bearing of the act on the issues
which are before it.

Married.
GLEAVE-HENDERSON.

Fred 3. Gleave and Miss Helen Hen
derson quietly slipped away from their
friends on Saturday last to be married
at the M. E. parsonage at Libertyville,
ILL.,, that evening. Mr.. Gleave left on
the morning train to arrange the de-
tails of securing the license and the
bride following on the evening train to
be met at Libertyville, and the cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Whipple,
pastor of the M. E. church. The couple
left Immediately for Chicago where
they passed brief honeymoon. They
returned Tuesday evening to receive
congratulations and best wishes on
every hand. The bride is daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Henderson and for
some time past has been assisting her
father in the station. The groom is
employed as bookkeeper for the He'd
dies Lumber Co. in this city. For the
present they will reside at the home
of the brides parents.

NEANLY one million new farms have
been created in the United States dur
ing the last ten years. In the last ten
years the total number of farms has
increased Is per cent, says American
Agriculturist. In the older states, from
Ohio eastward, there has been going on
for twenty years tendency toward the
amalgamation of farms distant from
market into larger holdings. On the
other hand, this section has witnessed
the cutting up into smaller sizes of
many farms nearer to market. There
are now almost three times as many
farms as in 1870, and an unprecedented
increase in the value of farm lands and
live stock.

The cause of education loses stanch
friend in the death of Senator J.. III.
Stout of Menominee. A man of large
wealth, he took pleasure in devoting
his energies to public affairs and has
been an important figure in the legis-
lature of this state for some years past.
His greatest work was the establish
ment of the Stout Training School at
Menominee, to which he contributed
more than half million dollars, MAX
ing it model of it's kind. Few men
have left stronger impress of char
acter in the development of better
things in life.
