said Mr.. Lewis this mornin There
was a great hue and cry about gam
bling existing in East Chicago by these
people some time ago and the police
were blamed for permitting the same.
1t seems to be horse of a different
color when Sam Cohen Is the defend
ant. and when we have collected the
evidence. Then all that is done is for
the prosecuting attorney to nolle PROSE-
the case without ever hearing the evil
dence"
Chief Lewis says he understands that
Attorney Kennedy is interested in pro-
curing Sam Cohen's license, for which
he must make application before the
county commissioners next month.

East Chicago. Ind. April 24.-J. D.
Kennedy gave as the reason for the
nolle PROSE- that there was not sufh-
cient evidence. He declared that the
same evidence would have been used
as was used in the case against Charles
Pitzele, which was practically nil. the
witnesses refusing to testify IN fear of
discriminating themselves.
Chief Lewis on the other hand says
that he fails to see the application.
especially regards the charge of
Cohen keeping his saloon open on
sunday. AS this happened several
weeks later. that is TO say on April 9,
while the charge of keeping a gaming
house was based on incident which
happened Feb. 19. there was an entire
~ different set OF witnesses In the
former case he claims to have eight
good and reliable witnesses to swear
to the truth of the charge, while in the
latter case he has seven.

Especial to THE TINES,

Indiana Harbor, April 24.-In spite OF
the cool breezes of yesterday. baseball
enthusiasm reached a temperature OF
about 100 degrees in the shade yester-
day.
over thousand spectators took pos
session of the grand stand and bleach
ers and lined along the ropes stretch

to watch the first paid preseason game
between the home team and the Western
Blooiner Girls. Forty per cent of the
proceeds went to the home team,
amounting to $1s2. the visitors getting
the balance something over 5000.
Even the management, which is moth
ing is not sanguine, was amazed at
the outpouring of the fans which con-
sidering the rawness of the day, and
the fact that the game was not a league
contest, had not been expected to draw
much of a crowd.
They point to the fact that IL this is
a sample of the brand of enthusiasm

CASE AGAINST S. COHEN
IS nOllE PRESSED
Lid Is Put on Prosecution of
Saloonman Arrested on
Gambling Charge.

Assistant States Attorney J. p.
Kennedy of East Chicago appeared be-
fore Judge Walter J. Riley of the city
court In East Chicago and nolle pross
ed the cases against Sam Cohen in
which Chief OF Police Albert Lewis was
the complaining witness and in which
Cohen was charged with keeping his
place open on Sunday and keeping a
gaming house
1t is understood that this is all that
prevented Attorney C. B. Tinkham of
Hammond no represented Cohen. from
giving Chief Lewis one of the worst
castigations that man mas ever had
in open court.
1t is said further that Tinkham was
armed with some very pertinent ques-
lions which were intended to reveal the
animus that is back of the prosecution
of Cohen.
There was the hint that Cohen had
been seen by the man TO be seen" but
that he had refused to come across
There was further the suggestion, sup
ported by one or two conversations
that the reason why Cohen was being
selected from all OF the rest for prose
cution is that he talked too much" and
even rushed into print in THE TIMES. .
The offense with which Cohen was
charged and which resulted in his being
selected from allS of the ~other Law
breakers in East Chicago and Indiana
Harbor for prosecution is alleged to
have occurred on April ninth wher
Cohen and some Jewish friends went tc
a room in the rear of his saloon and in

claims, l might with propriety and

to between $4,000 and 100000 in

Council to Investigate.

Complaint is being made by some of
the banks that Cashier Simpson of the
First National is using his office as
city treasurer to throw certain bust
ness to his bank at the expense of 9TH
er institutions in the city and it is pos
sible that council committee may
probe into the favoritism allegations.
Several of the city banks are depos-
itaries, and according to the story told
Simpson has all warrants made pay
able to his own bank instead of divid-
ing them up. Then, supposing a man
with 500 warrant comes to the First
National TO have it cashed this institu-
tion has the first chance OF getting his
account or deposit
Some of the other bankers resenting
this favoritism may ask the council to
direct that the warrants be made pay
able to the various depositaries.

dedicating one of the most beautiful
halls in somerset county if not in the

ticipate in the usual ceremonies. and
a crowd of several hundred grangers
and friends made 1t memorable oeea-
sion in the history of both Grange and
town. The morning session was de-
voted to the formal dedication, and
after an elaborate banquet in the
dining hall. came the literary program
of the afternoon. Supper was served
at the usual hour. and the evening de-
voted to dancing.
From the time that Cambridge

Nothing but the frame and foundation
now remain of the original structure
A new roof, clapboards, a 16x35 foot
addition and a coat of paint have
completely changed the external ap-
pearance, while hard wood floor, a
metal ceiling and artistic freseo work
have wrought a similar transforma-
ton within. An ingenious re-arrange-
ment of the trusses that formerly oc-
cupied the space within the rafters,
has made possible the addition of a
dining hall, perfect in every appoint
ment. A hot air furnace in the base
ment. and commodious stage at the
end of the 32X42 main hall, completes
the combination that leaves little to
be desired.
Out of a membership slightly over
200, L. G. Chadbourne, o. B. Quimby
and c. o. Bailey were chosen as a

STATE ROAD WORK
In Westhrook Will Begin as Soon as
Surveys are Made.

The State road work in the city of
Westbrook will begin as soon as the
State Highway Department has the
surveys completed. which will be in
short time The city council has al
ready decided upon the locality i'm
which the work is to be done. which is
to be started at Church street to ex-
tend to the Edwards store on Main
street. 1t is expected that the joint
fund of 5000 will cover the cost of
the work. which will consist of Has
sam pavement construction.
Commissioner Harrison was in
Westbrook Saturday inspecting the re-
pair work on Main street east of
Church street. where about 225 feet of
the road built two years ago, which
failed to stand the test, is being treat
ed with bituminous macadam. Mr.
Hardison thinks that the repair work
viii be successful. but does not under
stand why the original construction
should have failed to stand the test as
similar work in Lewiston and other
cities was perfectly satisfactory.
