bers that were present were all officers
and directors of the company. The
company now has 5000 to 10000 acres

been abandoned for few days, and a
delegation has been appointed to go to
the oil fields of Illinois. and make ar
engagements for a stand rig which viii
do faster work, and also expert drill
ers will be looked fors by this delega-
ton. t
The other matters4 which were taxi
en- up is being kept secret. but from
what we understandrhere is something
doing. Otto c. Bormann, president of
the company, refuses to make state

MEAN MAN?
WELL GAN
YOU BEAT It?

When Mrs. Tom Williams, a janitress
at the Jefferson school. had her hus-
band arrested yesterday she declared
that she had the meanest husband that
ever lived and the Judge and court at
taches thought that possibly with few
exceptions the woman was probably
correct Mr. Williams was fined 81
and costs and given ten days in the
county jail pending the fulfllment of
promises which he made both the fine
and the sentence were suspended.
The allegation against Williams was
that after abandoning his wife and
three children he would steal into the
house after his wife had gone to work
and eat everything that was stored
in the pantry and supported himself in
this manner. Williams has not worked
for some time and refused to do so,
kand IT seemed that he had found it
Unnecessary as long as he was able to
feed himself in this manner.
Mrs. Williams thought that 1t was
pretty bad for her husband not to sup
port the family but when he stole what
she had provided she thought she had
reached the limit of endurance. The
man secured a suspension of sentence
upon his promise to secore work i'm
mediately and help in the support of
family needed his assistanie he would
have been given a long term in the
county Jail.

Especial to TIE TIMEs)
Indiana Harbor, Ind. May ls.-The
Fair Store baseball team OF Chicago
started in to eat the Indiana Harbor
club UP alive in the game here yester-
day. making FIVE tallies in the first
two innings. but after that Ford set
tied down to business and had them
at his mercy for the balance of the
game.
Anderson, the first man up for the
visitors, hit an easy one to Ford, who
made a bum throw to first and the
runner was safe. Battles. the next man
up. as a matter of fact struck out. but
the third strike was in reality a wild
pitch, the ball going clear back to the
grand stand, allowing Anderson to
make third and Battles second. And
erson then scored on a long fly to
Erickson and Battles came home later
on another wild shoot by Ford. In the

16O ARRESTS SINCE
SALOONS OPENED
Chief Martin Finds That
Beggars and Panhandlers
Cause Most Trouble.

Since the saloons opened up two
weeks ago the police had up to Sun
day noon made $50 arrests or on an
average of twelve a day. If this per-
centage is maintain for year 1t will
mean that the total will reach about
33 percent of the population will have
been arrested during that period.
Although some OF the places have
been disorderfy most of the arrests are
due to the loafers and buns which are
attracted my such places and which
have cooked to Gary since the thirst
quenchers have been in operation. These
fellows have caused untold annoyance
to the police and are a menace to the
city and Chief Martin has endeavored
in every way possible to drive them out
OF the city.
The arrests have been evenly divided
between drunks and buns who were
also partially or wholly intoxicated.
These men are living about the saloons
getting their Twink in any way possible
by cleaning out cuspidors and sweep
ing the floors. 1t is believed that some
of them have worse motives in hang
ing about the city.
Chief Martin is also endeavoring to
drive out the beggars which have in
festeA Gary lately and two more OF
them were arrested Saturday night
Most of them have found easy pick
| ing in this city and IL has been hard
to keep them away. Every pay day
several of them come back to this city
when they know that the mill workers
:, have plenty of money and they get
enough to, last them until the mex pay
| day.

COACH NEIHERION IS
WELL SATISFIED

Coach Netherton stated today that he
was perfectly satisfied with the show
ing made by the Gary boys at the
Northern Indiana track meet held
Saturday afternoon at South Bend Gary
got FIVE points at the meet and this
was a whole lot considering the class
shown by the other athletes in this
years contest when two of the records
were broken.
Gary was the most surprised school
in the contest when they secured a tie
for first place in the pole vault. John
Wfcks was the boy that secured four
of Gary's ave points by this event and
although 1t was believed that he was
above the average the rooters did not
look for him to outclass the other
stare In Northern Indiana. Paine also
took a third in the shot put and with
a little more practice should develop
into star in that event.
As far as the Lake county track meet
is concerned, Coach Netherton said that
he did not believe that the Gary men
could hope to secure first place but
they had a good chance for second.
Gary should take the shot put and pole
vault at the county meet with little
difficulty an Knots ought to place in
the distance runs.
Gary has been seriously handicapped
because of lack of a place to train
owing to the fact that their track at
the Emerson school has not yet been
finished and is even worse than the
street The boys have been compelled
to train in their tennis shoes and this
has placed them at disadvantage
when thy attempted to wear spike
shoes However 1t would be well for
| the remainder of the schools in the
country to watch Gary closely in the
| coming contest.

In the trial of Maud clark and a
woman with her named Finnicat Do

her on Broadway acting in a disorderly
manner and also soliciting. They were

CORBETT MAY BE
A CANDIDATE
tcontinued from Page IL

has been In Lake county he has made
many friends both among the demo-
Gratis and republicans.
Corbett for Prosecutor
1t seems strange that the friends of
Attorney Hugh E. Corbett of Gary
would want to boost him for the Of
fee of prosecuting attorney, when that
office Of all others is one OF the far
thest out of the reach of democrat
Mr. Corbett of Gary. one of the best
known lawyers in this section of IN
diana, is being urged by his friends
to make the race for the democratic
nomination for prosecuting attorney of
Lake and Porter counties. This is the
latest piece of political Information to
be added to the already complex demo-
cratic history. Mr. Corbet has been
active in politics ever since his ar
rival in Gary and his knowledge of the
game is said to be throughout. At the
present time he is city chairman, and in
his services in that position have been
entire satisfactory.
Has Good Record.
The Gary lawyer has a wide ac-
quaintarce throughout the state, and
some time ago when the question OF
giving Gary a superior court was be-
fore the legislature, it is said. by those
who konw that Mr.. Corbett would have
been appointed TO the judgeship by the
governor. In Elkhart, where he for
merly resided, Mr.. Corbett was actively
idSntified in democratic politics He
served successfully as city, and later
later as county chairman The demo-
Gratis of that county frequently sent
him as a delegate to state conventions
and on two occasions he represented
them in the national conventions of the
party
few years ago Mr.. Corbett left Elk
hart to take up a very lucrative law
partnership in Joliet Here the Illinois
politicians soon saw his worth, and
before he had lived in the state year
they had elected him TO the position
of chairman of the city central com
mittee. A year later he was reward
ed with the nomination for judge of
the superior court and was defeated by
but small margin.
Would Make Good Timber.
The prospective candidate for the
prosecutorship owns considerable prop
erty in Gary, is treasurer of the Dalton
Coal company, and is happily married.
residing with his wife and two children
in pretty home on Van Buren, street.
Although still in his sos, Attorney Cor
bett has made a brilliant success a
lawyer. He received his education at
Valparaiso university and was grad
uated in the same class with Mayor
Becker OF Hammond.
Friends of MIR. Corbett say that IL he
should enter the race that he win make
strong candidate and would make
excellent timber for the ticket AS vet
he has made no formal announcement
OF the candidacy. nor has he indicated
that he is in receptive mood How
ever those who know him say that he
is in such state.
