partment has cleared the snow from the
business sections of Washington ana dis
regarded Georgetown's principal thor

much discussion at the monthly meetiE-
of the Georgetown Citizens Association

spoke against the re'ent lights on wag-
Ons" regulation. The association voted
unanimously TO support his resolutions.

MOTHER"
WILL NOT
COME HERE

Hammond's hopes of having a the
atrical. first night were raised high
only to be blasted. 1t was expected
that William A. Brady would bring his
production to Hammond to try it out
before it appears at the Grand Opera
House, Chicago.
Mr. Brady and Manager Manderback
of the Towle Opera House could not
agree on a date, and so the matt>r was
dropped. 1t is expected that the S,om-
pany, which is to produce 'Mothe-,"
will go straight to the Grand Opera
House without a preliminary appear
ance in a smaller town.
The appearance of the Chicago Min
strel club in this city on St Patrick's
day will be the big musical event of the
future. This organization is said to
be an excellent one.

RESOLUTIONS.
THAT WERE NOT
A DO p T ED.

THE TIMES has secured a COPY
of the resolutions which were not
passed at the Lake county demo-
cratic convention last Saturday.
They are:
Whereas, the people of Lake
county have experienced one year
of the administration of William
H. Taft, the republican president,
and the so-called revision Of the
protective tariff with great and in
creasing dissatisfaction, and,
Whereas, it is prudent to con-
slider a candidate for the presi-
dency at the next national election
which will represent the popular
will,
Be it resolved, that it is the
sense of this county committee that
approve and recommend the nomi-
nation and election of Hon. Thom-
as R. Marshall, governor of Indi-
ana, for the Office of chief execu-
tive Of the United States"

MILLER IS
CONFIDENT
OF GETTING II

F. C. Miller is confident that he will
receive the appointment for the office
of deputy game warden in this county.
Attorney J. G. Ibach and several other
influential friends are taking up the
matter with Governor Marshall, and it
is probable that Mr.. Miller will soon
learn of his appointment.
Mr.. Miller says that under the law
one-thfrd of all of the fines that are
collected in this county from violators
of the game laws is available to the
county for the purpose of Restocking
the streams and adding to the supply of
game.
Mr. Miller says that under Sweenge's
administration of the state game war
den's office Lake county got none of
this copey. Mr.. Miller says that he has
practically all of the business men of
the city pledged to his support

BARTENDER ARRESTED

Annie Mueller. having testified in the
city court that Tony Jamrozo, the bar
tender for John Kusina, had served her
with intoxicating liquor Judge Bar
nett ordered his arrest on the charge
of having given liquor to minors. Jam
rozo spent Saturday and Sunday night
in Jail and today furnished 500 bond,
this having been signed by Kusi1a.
The arrest of Jamrozo grew out of
the charges that the state preferred
against Kusina for Annie Mueller who
was the prosecuting witness against
him. She testified that the saloonkeep-
er from the Standard district had in
6uced her to drink wine until she was
intoxicated and that he had then at
tackled her, and further that Jamrozo
had served the wine Jamrozo's case
will be tried possibly next Saturday

MATERIALS
ARRIVE On
THE GROUND

The materials for the building of the
electric signal tower, which is to be
constructed jointly by the Michigan
Central, the Erie and the Monon rail-
roads has arrived. 1t is expected that
the work of erecting the new tower
will begin at once.
Dan Enright, the industrial agent for
the Michigan Central railroad in this
district, said today that he expected the
building of this electric interlocker
would have the effect of facilitating the
movement OF trains across the street
crossings in Hammond.
He said that the opening and opera
tion of the extra tracks on the Michi-
gan Central right Of way would go
long way toward relieving the con-
gestion that results in so many cross
ing delays.
