HAS A
GRIEVANCE TO SETTLE
Hammond Man Compelled
to Pay for Case of Eggs
He Was Carrying.

Oscar Plageman, the well known
Hammond barber, was compelled to
pay S5 cents for a case of eggs that
he had purchased in the country and
was bringing to Hammond in one OF
the cars of the Chicago, Lake Shore &
South Bend line.
Plageman thought he had a right to
carry the case of eggs as ordinary lug
gage, but the conductor informed him
that only wearing apparel and sample
cases could be carried as luggage in
the passenger coaches, and all other
articles would have to be taken to the
baggage car and expressed.
Plageman took the matter up with
Attorney ]. K. Stinson and was adj
vised that he had right to carry $50
pounds Of express with each ticket. He
then took the matter up with Prose-
cutting Attorney Charles E. Greenwald.
and Greenwald stated that Plageman
might take the matter up with Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Ben Henders on
and see. what could be done
Privilege Is Abused.
The agent of the South Shore line in
Hammond was interviewed about the
matter this morning and stated that
each passenger is allowed to carry $50
pounds of luggage, but that this lug
gage must consist of wearing apparel
or samples. and must not be freight
The position of the company is, that
a great many passengers abuse the
privilege of carrying baggage and time
and again several seats, that might be
occupied by passengers. are filled with
baggage which should properly be ship
ped in the baggage car.
Plageman takes the position that 1t
is queer state of affairs when a con-
ductor insists on knowing what is in
your baggage. for fear that you will
carry something that might properly
be classed as express
The privilege of carrying a certain
amount of baggage on a street car is
frequently abused in Hammond especi-
ally by foreigners, when piles OF trunks.
carpenters tools and a thousand other
things are carried in the cars as lug
gage. where they take up room on the
platforms and on the seats and make
the cars crowded and uncomfortable.
1t is admitted by other street rail-
way men in Hammond that the regula :
tfon that is enforced byFth Chicago,
Lake Shore & South Bend line is a
proper one, but say that reasonable
amount of judgment should be used by
the conductor in enforcing this regu-
lation.

INQUEST IS HELD
IN TH|EL CASE
That Decedent Came to His
Death by Accidental
Drowning Is Verdict.

The inquest IN connection with the
drowning of George j. Thiel in the
Grand Calumet river yesterday morn
ing was held by Coroner E. M. Shank
lin this morning. and while his verdict
has not been formally given the evi-
dence will support one to the effect
that death was due to accidental
drowning
The evidence by William Brook was
to the effect that the party composed
of Theil, himself. Peter Helmer and
Mat Hilbrich went in a gasoline launch
to Pullman and stopped at place
called Hunters Rest. They stayed
there short time and then went to
a place known as Miller's place. Mat
Hilbrich stayed here while the other
three said they would go to Hunters
Rest to get some fish. The evidence
of the others was practically the same
Up to this point Mr.. Hilbrich testified
that the other three extended their
visit too long to suit him and that he
went home on the interurban accord
ingly. Brook testified that he and his
party staid at Hunters Rest until about
II o'clock. and that they spent the
evening in singing and dancing While
he stated that his party had a num-
-
evidence that would make 1T appear as
any of the party was under the in
huence OF liquor to such an extent that
the lives of any in the boat was en-
dangered.
The position in which Theil was
found in the water shows that he went
overheard head first and did not come
to the surface to cry for help The
muck and the mire in the bottom of
the river held him fast and suffocated
him.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock under the aus
pices of the Catholic Columbia league
of which the deceased was a member.
Services will be held at St Joseph's
Catholic church
Theil was well known around town
and was popular.

HATTIE

While Giel SWEETS in Ham
mond; Woman Asks Hus-
band to Get Divorce So
She Can Wed Her Affinity.
and He Agrees to Do So.

III you placed implicit confidence in
your wife. believed her to be true to
you and finally received a note from
her saying that she never loved YOU.
that she was your wife In name only.
that she loved another man with all
her heart and that he loved her. that
your marriage to her was making three
lives miserable and that she hoped
you would get a divorce so that she
could marry the man she really loved.
would you get one?
Cell SWEETS was faced with Just that
situation and Cell SWEETS is getting the
divorce. At least his attorney. Le
Grand I. Meyer has fled complaint
Tor a dlvorce in the Lake superior
court.
There is no indication that Hattie
SWEETS. She has skipped out to Glen
dine. Montana, where it is alleged she
met John Tegman and is living with
him. John Tegman is said to be the
affinity in the case
No Little SWEETS.
Sa Cell SWEETS is the one who sweats
and mental perspiration is a thing un
known to Hattie Ewets. Fortunately
there are no little SWEETS to be taken
cars of as Mr.. and Mrs. SWEETS had no
children.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
the SWEETS were married on October %.
1908 and were separated May 2s, 1910.
Mr. Swts claims that Hattie had long
peen carrying on a clandestine CORES
pondence with John Tegman. He
claims that she was engaged to marry
him and that they planned an elope-
mene.
Mr.. 5wets had no idea that his wife
was untrue. TO him, according TO the
complaint. until he finally got hold of
the letters that SWEETS had written to
her He then demanded that the erla
lions between his wife and her affinity
cease.
II was then that Mrs. SWEETS left for
Glendire, Montana leaving a note I'm
which she said that she never loved
her husband. that she was his wife in
name only, that she loved Tegman with
ali her heart and he loved her.
She said in the note that three lives
were made miserable because she was
living with Swetz and that she loved
Tegman more than her life. 1t was in
this note that the most unusual re-
quest was made.
Strange Bequest, Queer Answer.
Hattie SWEETS actually requested her
husband to get a divorce from her so
that she could marry Tegman and at
least they could be happy even If Mr.
SWEETS was unhappy
And the strange answer to the
strange request was SWEETS action in
Ming the complaint for divorce. Per-
maps SWEETS realized the force Of his
wires argument and decided not to
stand in the way of her happiness. It
was the most unselfish answer that
could possibly have been given to the
most selfish request that could pos
sibly be made.
Swetz says that he was shocked and
Inundated by the deceit that had been
practiced on him. He saws that Hat
Tie SWEETS was formerly Hattie Gooch
who had married one Gooch in Ar
Kansas. Gooch is alleged to have se-
cured a divorce on statutory grounds
and SWEETS says that he did not know
the facts about the previous marriage
until after he had married this woman.

ADDRESS BY

High School Commencement
Is Held at Towle Opera
House, and Work of Leam-
ing Chorus Is Highly Com
mended.

An inspiring address by Dr. F. w.
Gunsauius marked the commencement
exercises for the graduating class of
the Hammond high school, last night
at Towle opera house. The opera
house was nearly filled with people
who were admiring friends of the
graduates and the noted speaker Ths
high school orchestra under the direcsi
ton of Prof. Clark Leaning furnished
the music and showed some surpris-
ing good work. A chorus of nearly a
hundred voices, composed of high
school students. sang a number of se-
lections. The numbers by the Lyric
double quartette were unsurpassed for
finish. After short but meaning adj.
dress by Superintendent c. M Me-
Daniel he distributed the diplomas
among the fifteen graduates

examples in history. both in the old

Socialism a Problem.

Early in his lecture, DR.. GunsauIus
referred to socialism as one of the
greatest problems that the growing
generation would have to meet After
he had eulogized and idealized the man
of personality and the spirit that he
creates. and compared this to the pros
pective state OF socialism and the spirit
of the socialistic doctrine. The ex-
FOUNDERS of the socialists doctrine
deny. he said. that socialism would
stifie personality and individuality. but
his logic proved the contrary.
In the little heart to heart talk that
superintendent C. NJ. Mcdaniel made
to the patrons and the graduates, he
remarked incidentally that the class
this year was living example in an
swer to the criticism that had been
made in past years. namely. that there
are as rule more girls than boys who
graduate. The class this year has
more boys than girls. there being eight
boys and seven girls, and Mr.. Mcrn-
iel announced further that all of the
boys would attend some school OF
higher educa ton this wear
