DECISION
EXPECTED
TOMORROW
Active Interest in Getting
G.. A. r. Encampment to
Hammond? Not So You
Could Notice It; Still, You
Can't Tell.

1t is expected that the Hammond
Business Mems Association will reach
a decision at its meeting tomorrow
night in the matter of the G. A. r.
state encampment for Hammond for
the year 1911 or 1912. The question
will be- one of the biggest ones that
the club has on its hands for tomorrow

Thus far there has only been a pas :

ment here, but still not as active it
might be. 1t is thought, however. that
in the eevnt the ass ISOLATION decides to
put its shoulder to the wheel and takes
the initiative that Hammond in gem
eral will be responsive, for the Bust
ness Mems Association is looked up to
as the logical leader in this matter.
Must Decide at Once.
1t will furthermore be impressed
upon the association tomorrow even
ing that if there is any hesitancy and
doubt about the success of the encamp-
ment in Hammond that the project
might as we'll be dropped for the pres
ent, for only the best enthusiasm will

be necessary for the Hammond Bust

in bringing from twenty-five to thirty

SCHtEkER GAYS; he
FILLED TO KEEP DATE
Chances of Conference Be
tween Two Mayors Are
Not Promising Now.

Mayor A. G. Schlieker stated today
that no conference had taken place be-
tween himself and Mayor T. E. Knots
of Gary and none would be likely to
take place now.
He said that Mayor Knots talked as
though he would like. TO confer with
him with the end in view of avoiding
court fight, but that Mayor Knots
had broken numerous engagements
with him and now he would not con-
sent to a conference.
Mayor Schlieker said further that he
did not know that he cared to deal with
man who would persistentiy break
engagements with him when he had in
timated that conference would be de-
sirable to him.
Schlieker says that there is no doubt
that practically all of the people of
East Chicago and Indiana will sign the
remonstrance against annexation by
Gary. He said that no matter what the
attitude of the people of Indiana Har-
Dor might be regarding the desira bility
of continuing the relations with East
Chicago they did not want to be an
nexed by Gary.
There is too much public spirit in
East Chicago to permit of it's having
the seat of government removed six
miles away to the young city of Gary.

JUDGE HOLDS DEFEN-
DENT, NOT GUILTY
Judge Barnett in City Court
Declares Mrs. Weakly
Is irresponsible.

After hearing evidence that was de-
cidedly conflicting in the Perkins
Weakly assault and battery suit. City
Judge Fred Barnett found Mrs. B. F.
Weakly who was the defendant in the
case, not guilty. In arguing the case
her attorney, Joseph Conroy, said that
she was as innocent as a baby, and
to this G. G. White, attorney for the
plaintiff. argued that this was not a
case in which the defendant was being
tried for her sanity, although it could
be inferred from her attorneys state
ment, that she was not entirely respon-
sible.
Il do not think Mrs. Weakly was re-
sponsible for her act" said Judge Bar
nett, and while there may have been
no direct evidence to this effect it is
proper for the court to take cognizance
of a state of mind which seems appar-
ent"
The right to air a red carpet in a
little court on the second floor of the
Taper building gave rise to the al
legged altercafion between the fiat dwell
lers and resulted, according to Miss
Adaline Perkins testimony, in it being

IS BEGUN IN
EAST CHICAGO
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago. April 13.-Headed by
Mayor A. G. Schlieker. East Chicago
this morning began its campaign for
signatures on the remonstrance against
the annexation by Gary. The work is
to be carried on systematically and the
city has been accordingly divided so as
to put a specified district under the
supervision of one man who in turn has
a number of canvassers under him. BY
this method the work of recapitualtion
will be saved.
Although it is confidently expected
that the remonstrance against the Gary
annexation will carry easily, the feel
ing of East Chicago as neighbor Of
the steel city is still of the best
1t is thought that the work of Sc
curing he remonstrance can be COM
pleted this week.

FACTS ARE
CONFIRMED
Judge A. G. Mayo Declares
That Law Violators
Need Not Apply.

1t is probable that the saloon
keepers life in Gary will be anything
but a bed of roses as a result of the
unmistakable attitude of the city ad-
ministration headed by Mayor Knots
and his cabinet.
The mayor has determined to make
the saloons respect the law. His
cabinet members will be against the.
undesirable element among the 100
saloonmen asking licenses at the next
May term. The Indiana Anti-Saloon
League will help.
PENDULUM SWINGS BACK.
The pendulum has swung backwards.
During Mayor Thomas E. Knots first
administration liberty became license
and the Gary saloons were the most
notorious in the whole state of Indiana.
AS result Gary harbored so many
criminals and developed much crime
that it received a great deal of unde-
sirable advertising all over the country.
The remonstrance against the saloons
followed Only BY trickery was the
Anti-Saloon league able to. secure the
necessary signatures but under the law
the remonstrance proved to be binding
despite the claims of the attorneys for
the saloonkeepers that they could
knock out the case in the courts.
ERA OF BLIND PIGS.
Then followed the period of unlicens-
ed saloons. The toleration of the blind
tiger in the face of the law was deplor-

WORK IS
PROGRESSING
RAPIDLY

The work of remodeling the Lake su-
perior court house is going forward
rapidly. and the building has now as
sumed the form that it will take when
completed, but there still remains the
bulk of the work to be done.
1t is expected that it will take until
the 1st of January before the building
will be ready for occupancy. After
the walls are erected and the roof is
put on it will still be necessary to
practically tear out the entire inside
of the building and re-arrange 1t.
Then will come the finishing and fur
nishing. and 1T will be sure to be eight
months before the building will be
ready.
