Whiting, March 17.-Probation officer
Isaac Stanford and his deputy came
over from Hammond last night about 8
o'clock to get Steve Furtyo, the 10
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Furtyo, of Clinton street
F'urtyo has figured in several esca-
pades, and was released on probation
about two months ago. The last thing
in which he figured, after promising to
be good, was to steal twenty dollars
from his father. Nine dollars of the
money he had spent and eleven dollars
which he had buried. was recovered.
The parents seemed to want the boy
sent to the reform school. having de-
clared that they could do nothing with
him. Last night when Stanton and his
deputy went to the Furtyo home to get
the boy, the parents refused to give him
up. 1t was necessary to get police as
sistance before the men could get him.
The mother was heart broken, and re-
fusing to let her son go alone with the
officers, accompanied them to Hammond
where they took the 1919 Erie train te
Crown Point.

HAHN HAS
SOME NEW
SCHEMES
Question of Boyville's New
City Hall to Be Taken Up
With Vigor During the
Coming Spring and Sum-
mer.

Director Hahn of the Hammond Boy
vile has some great plans for the
citize of this thriving municipality
during the coming spring and summer.
One of the first things that will be
taken up will be the great problem os
providing a city hall for Hammond Boy :
Vile. This is TO be done by securing
subscriptions to Success Magazine The
boys will get out some literature in the
near future and this will be followed
by a campaign for subscribers.
After that will come the spring track
meet between the boys of the Ham
mond Boyville, and the citizeris of St.
Paul's Boyville of Chicago. This track
meet will probably be held in Harrison
Park, in this city.
Camping Season Soon.
After the track season is over the
boys will begin to think about the sum
ner camping season. 1t is very likely
that the Chicago and the Hammond
Boyvilles will unite on a location for
a camp ground in the vicinity of Ham
mond. that many of the citizens
of Boyvil1e possible can avail them
selves of the privilege of camping in
the summer city of Boyville.
Those of the boys who care to may
go to the Charlevoix Boy City, where
they will be several hundred other
boys. but the chances are that the
Hammond and Chicago boys will be
satisfied with their own local Boyville
providing they are able to secure a
good location on the shores of nearby
lake
1t might be said of st. Paups Boy
vile, Chicago, that it is being con
Quoted under the auspices of St Pauls
| Universalist church and that $50, ,00t
have already been raised for the con
struction of a Boyville city hall at thi.
| place.

There is all probability that the Gary

A most important meeting is being

President William H. Taft passed
through Hammond at o'clock this
morning on the Pennsylvania railroad
There was no crowd at the depot to
try and get glimpse of the president,
and whether the chief executive Of the

through the city or whether he only
turned over in is berth and peeped out
of the windows, is a matter Of con-
lecture.
At all events the president passed
through Hammond, and the train was
on time, arriving at the Union passen-

FOR h. S.
TEAM NOT PROMISING
Only a Fragment Left Of
Squad Who Won Honors
For Hammond.

Principal f. NJ. McElroy of the HAM
mond high school states that the pros
poets for the track team this year are
not very promising. The team has
lost so many of it's members that there
will be nothing but fragment of the
old team left by the time the track
work is begun.
Julius Meyn is i'll with typhoid fever.
and it is not expected that he will re-
cover in time to take up track work
this year. Dana Summers, who has
been one of the best men on the team
will not be in schol this year, and
it is understood that he is going out
west for a while.
The team is crippled by the loss of
number of men who made the points
last year and who are now in college.
The boys who are left, however. are
working and are getting in condition
by taking cross-country runs.
