BALLARD ASKS COURT
TO QUAsH AFF|DAv|Ts
Judge Reiter in Lake Super
ior Court Expected to
Give Answer Soon.

Attorney E. G.. Ballard of Gary ap-
peared before Judge Reiter in the su-
perior court at Hammond yesterday
and asked the court to quash the Grim
inal trespass affdavits against him. In
his petition he AYERS that the affidavits
charging him with trespass were not
approved by the prosecuting attorney.
The statutes require that all affidavits
of this nature be indorsed by the prop
er official, and Ballard finds this was
not done in his case
Judge Reiter will give his answer in
a few days, and if he sustains the de-
fendant the case will be thrown out of
court. 1t will be remembered that Bal
lard was arrested last winter after
some troubles with his landlord L.
Goodwin. The latter had Ballard's goods
put out into the street, and when Bal
lard re-entered a trespass warrant was
sworn against him.
He knew that his unfriendliness to-
ward the KNOTS administration would
get him into trouble After many ad-
ventures and having the case continued
number OF times, Ballard was arrest
ed on a bench warrant issued by the
mayor. He was locked up in the even
ing and as the mayer could not be
found he was obliged to retain in jail
all night despite the fact that thou
sands of dollars of bail were offered for
his release.
The next morning Ballard was fined
and he promptly appealed his case tc
the higher court through his attorneys
Judge Carver and Clarence Renollett
At the time Ballard denounced the
mayor and said that he purposel,
! avoided to those who sought to get
him out on bond. He announced he
would Immediately begin Impeachment
proceedings under the statute of op-
preston.
Whatever way the case ends some in.
teresting developments may be expect.
ed on the part of Ballard. as the feuC
between him and the mayor is an afrai,
of long standing.

NO INDICATIONS THAT
STRIKE WILL Be SETTLED
Neither Have There Been
Efforts Made to Bring
About a Conference.


There were no indications today that
would point to settlement of the
strike which the journeymen plumbers
have inaugurated against the master
plumbers, that bring about confer
ence between the two bodies.
The master plumbers held a meet
ing a East Chicago last night, but they
say that this is a regular meeting, at
which only routine business matters
We're taken up and at which the pres
ent strike was not the principal sub
ject for discussion.
Thus far the strike has been con-
Quoted along in the most peaceful man
ner, and neither side is making any
predictions as to the outcome.
To an outsider it appears as if both
sides are playing a waiting game. one
waiting for the other to make a con-
cession. The journeymen demand ar
increase of SO cents day. thus bring
ing their daily wage to $3.50 a day
The master plumbers say they had nc
notice of this demand and that it was
not made in accordance with theil
agreement with the journeymen plum
bers.

G. A. R. DELEGATE
HAS FINE TRIP
Rev. F. VI. Elliott Speaks
With Enthusiasm of Terre
Haute's Hospitality.

The state G. A. r. encampment. which
closed at Terre Haute last week. has
left some pleasant memories with the
Rev. F. NJ Elliott of the Chicago Busi-
ness college. he having been one of the
thousands who attended the c. A r
encampment
Mr.. Elliott was impressed with the
whole souled welcome that the OLD
soldiers received at the hands of the
citizens of Terre Haute. The city en-.
tertained on the average of 5000 visit
ors a day, or about 5000 people during
the three days
A big fish fry five miles north. OF
rison, was one of the features of the
encampment. The old soldiers were
taken to the old fort in autos and
launches and enjoyed the day to the
utmost. The event was especially pleas
ing to them as it was so arranged
that it recalled the camp life of their
more hardy days.
Mr.. Elliott still hopes that some day
Hammond may decide to entertain the
old soldiers. He is confident that Ham
mond could do as we'll as any of the
other cities which have entertained the
encampments in the past. The old SOL
diers are already looking forward to
their 1911 encampment. which will be
held at Richmond. 1t is expected that
this hustling little Quaker city will en-
tertain the visitors in royal fashion.

INSANITY
TO Be PLEA
Of DEFENSE
Fear of Robbery While In
toxicated and Temporarily
Insane Will Be Boone's s
Defense for His Client,
George Parker.

In an opening statement to the jury
this afternoon Attorney D. E. Boone
outlined his defense. He stated that
he would attempt to show by a num-
Der of reputable business men of this
city that George Parker is insane and
that he was insane at the time he kill
ed Mrs. Peter Palen.
He also stated unequivocally that he
would expect the jury to render a YER
dict of not guilty. The witnesses that
will be called by Boone are the sur
prise of the trial.
Boone said that he expected Peter W
Meyn, Anton Taper. Otto Duelke, Law
renee Cox, Henry Whitaker, Dr. Luke
Kelly. DR.. J. T. Clark, Edward P Ames,
w. c. Belman. Justice Frank d. Prest,
Frank Tuthill and number of others
to testify that Parker acted like an
insane man in their presence Mr. Meyn
was put on the stand late this after
noon.
Another surprise came when Boone
stated that he would probably have Dr.
Hamilton, who is now in charge of the
hospital at Dwight Ill. come TO Ham
mond and testify as to the effect of
liquor on the mind of one who is ad-
dtcted to its use.
Boone also spoke of the morbid fear
the defendant had of being robbed. He
says that he will be able to show that
on frequent occasions Parker has told
his friends that he was afraid of being
robbed
The prosecution completed its in

ernoon, and this morning. after Coroner

NEARLY 1OO
NOTICES TO
Be SERVED

The work of serving the notices on
the property owners on the Indiana
side of the state line regarding the i'm
provement that will be made in State
Line street has been begun by Bailiff
James frost of the Hammond city
court.
1t is understood that there are near
ly a thousand of these notices to be
served. On the Illinois side of the line
the matter is handled by an action in
the courts and the notices are not nee
essary.
The work of widening the street is
progressing nicely, and it is believed
that the opening of this street will do
more to boost the value of property in
this locality than anything else that
could be done.
However, City Attorney John Gavit
says that the work of preparing the
assessment roll is the biggest job that
he ever tackled, and he hopes that there
will not be many more streets to be
opened.

and inasmuch as the session is to be
an unusually interesting one, the mem
bers of the board of public works have

question of the evening will be the park
proposition. The desire for a park is
growing stronger with each session,
and the association hopes to make a
strong impression upon the board
Another project which will be taken
up is that of connecting Howard ave-
nue. with Hickory street and widening
this street.
