MRS. SWEETS
INDIGNANT?
YES VERY!
Relates Some of Her Marital
Experiences and Wants
the Public to Sympathize
With Her, and the Public
Can IF It So Wishes.

Mrs. Cell SWEETS of Glendive, Mont,
enters vigorous. not to say an en-
phatic, denial of the charges that her
husband has made in a divorce COM
plant which he recently filed in the
Lake superior court
1t will be remembered that Cell
Sweets charged that his wife had been
having clandestine meetings with one
Tegman, formerly of this place, and
that she later went to Glendive, Mont,
where she could be in his company.
Mr.. SWEETS further alleged that Mrs.
SWEETS made it plain to him that she
did not love him and that she did love
Tegman and that he was preventing
the happiness of two of the three. She
then, it is alleged. made the stratling
request that he secure a divorce so
that she could marry the man she loved
and SWEETS is getting the divorce
And now comes Mrs. SWEETS, the de-
fendant. in this action, and seeks a
trial of her case in the newspapers.
Wants Newspaper Trial.
Although SWEETS allegations have
been made in court and should be an
swered in court, Mrs. SWEETS desires to
have her cause submitted to the gem
eral public for adjudication. That be-
@AS liS NdS6 the puDllC may JuQ&6.
Mrs. SWEETS does not deny that she is
in Glendive. Mont. and that she left
her husband to go where she could be
in the company of Tegman. the man
she loves" However, she insists that
she has been a perfect lady even since
she has been there. Mrs. SWEETS AYERS,
furthermore, that SWEETS is a perfect
gentleman from the crown of his head
to the tip of his toes
Mrs. SWEETS maintains that the
charges in the complaint are lies and
reflect against her and the man she
loves" She claims that no elopement
was planned and that she did not write
a note to SWEETS asking him to get a
divorce. She says SWEETS even strapped
her trunk for her when she went away
to see the man she really loved.
Unparalleled Case.
This presents the bautiful picture of
loving husband, faithful to the last.
even though love was dead, strapping
his wife's trunk so that she might go
out to Montana to see the man she
loved. 1t is doubtful if in history of
fiction there is parallel to this case
Mrs. SWEETS then goes on to tell of
the loaves of bread she has baked and
the washings she has done for SWEETS
and presumably she thinks she has
earned her liberty.

regarding the business situation

LINE WILL
Be EXTENDED
TOHAMMONO
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Indiana Harbor. June 23.-The Indi-
ana Harbor branch of the South Shore
lines, is to be extended far as Ham
mond. This was learned from an
authoritive source.
The new service will be begun as
soon as the double tracking between
East Chicago and Hammond is COM
pleted, work on this going forward
now with all possible speed.
1t is proposed to maintain the pres
ent schedule, with as many additional
cars as the increased length of the trip
necessitates. There will also be placed
a number of switch tracks between In
diana Harbor and Calumet, in order
that there may be no delay in the pass
ing of the cars. The road bed between
these points has recently been improv-
ed with additional ballast and new
ties have been laid, and this is now in
considerably better condition than at
any time in the past.
The change viii not only improve the
Indiana Harbor service, but will, it is
believed materially help out the main
line. as many patrons who now use
the main line cars, will make use of
the Harbor cars in their stead in going
as far as Hammond.

For LAKE CO.
Governor Will Make Ap-
pointment of State Oil In
spector From Twelfth Dis
trict; Becker Knotts Ma
chine Ignored.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL

indianapolis, Ind, June 23.-There is
a good deal of speculation as to whom
Governor Marshall will appoint as
state oil inspector to succeed Sid
Conger, when the time comesst to make
the appointment. This is one of the
best jobs in the gift of the Governor
because it carries with it large
amount of patronage which the oil in
spector is allowed to appoint as many
deputies as he pleases. He can appoint
one for every county if he chooses to
do so, and in this way he can build up
mighty formidable machine in a DO
litical way, If he is disposed to do so.
Governor Marshall has not said
whom he will appoint as inspector but
he made the statement yesterday that
the man will come from the Twelfth
congressional district. This is the
Governors home district. and in addi-
tton to this there has been a good story
going the rounds as to the reason WHY
the oil inspector shall come from that
district. According to this story, long
before the Democratic state conven-
tfon was held Steve Fleming, of Fort
Wayne, who carries the Twelfth dis
trict Democracy around in his vest
pocket, called on the Governor 1t
was understood that Fleming was at
heart opposed to the Governors plan

EVANGELISM

Valparaiso, Ind. June 23.-Rudolph
D. Raymond of Valparaiso, commonly
known as Duffy" who is well known
in Hammond a pugilist, elocutionist
actor, and promoter of amateur plays
has created a sensation among his
friends with the announcemet that he
has forever forsaken the call of the

seven years in sowing his wild oats he

work for the salvation of his fallen

Duffy" attained national noteriety
not long ago when he was written up
by various metropolitan newspapers
for knocking down a prominent thea

objecting to his fulfilling a vaudeville
contract with rival theatre while he
was engaged as a boxing and physical
instructor a Iowa University. Upon
another occasion about two years ago

BOARD TAKES Up
QUESTION OF GROUNDS

The members of the Hammond board
of education have taken up the matter
of beautifying a number of the schools
of the city. 1t is understood that the
yards around the Wallace Washington
and Robertsdale schools are to be filled
and sodded and that trees are to be
planted wherever they are needed.
The matter has not been officially
taken before the board but it is under
stood that it is to come up for con-
sideration at an early date. There is
considerable sentiment in the city in
favor of an expenditure of money for
this purpose and the board is inclined
to meet the public demand.

PARKER
SAKE," !" SAY
DOCTORS
Hammond Man Cleared of
Murder Charge on Ground
Of Insanity, Declared by
Physicians After Grill to
Be Sane.

George Parker is now sane. After
an exhaustive examination by DIR. t. W.
Oberlin and DR.. w. F. Howatt which
consumer a period of two hours they
returned a verdict to the effect that
the man who is alleged to have muir
dered Mrs. Peter Palm a few weeks
ago is now in the full possession of
his faculties.
In the examination the doctors made
physical examination of Parker.
They traced his life from the time
he was eight years of age to the pres
ent time.
They asked him questions that were
expected to reveal any mental de-
1ciency that he might have at the
present time and they say he answered
them without faltering.
In view of the fact that George Par
ker is now sane, even though the jury
in the recent murder trial did say
that he was not guilty of murder in
view of the fact that they believed him
to be insane at the time he killed Mrs
Peter Palm, or is alleged to have done
so. Parker is again a free man.
Insane Then; Sane Now.
In view of these facts the only con-
clusion that can be reached at the
present time, providing both the jury
and the sanity commission are right
in their contentious, is that Parker had
a temporary mental alteration at the
time he shot and killed Mrs. Palen and
that he has now recovered his mental
equilibrium.
The fact must be borne in mind that
the commission was not allowed to
take into consideration any of the evil
dence that was INTRODUCED at the trial
of Parker.
That evidence related to his mental
condition at the time he is alleged to
have killed Mrs. Palen and not to his
present mental condition. So Parker
went before the commission just as any
person whose sanity is doubted
Parker Pale And Worried.
The commission, consisting of DR. w
F. Howatt and DR.. T. W. Oberlin, which
was appointed by Judge Virgil S
Reiter for the purpose of inqufring into
the sanity of George Parker met this
afternoon in Attorney D. E. Boone's
office after Justice E. P Ames had
given them instructions as to the work
they were expected to do.
Parker looked even paler than he did
at he trial when he was cleared of the
charge of numbering Mrs. Peter Palen.
He seemed to be in poorer health and
evidently the strain of the trial and the
fear of another ordeal had its effect
upon him.
He had been in jail at Crown Point
for several days and was brought to
Hammond today to be examined by the
commission that Judge Reiter had ap-
pointed.
Doctors Oberlin and Howatt will sign
the popers today which will again free
Parker and he can never again be tried
for his sanity unless in the future he
develops dementia and another com
mission is called upon to pass upon his
sanity.

TORR|D
HEAT IS
MARKED

The people of the region continue
to swelter in the torrid weather that
has been experienced for the past
week. The temperature today was
about the same as it has been for sew
eral days past.
So far the people of the region have
been fortunate in that there have been
no heat prostrations. Some of the
heads of the factories find that the
efficiency of the men is greatly re-
duced on account of the hot weather,
and many of the common laborers are
laying off until the weather moderates.
