JURY REFUSES
TO CONVICT
4 WOMAN

Mrs. Thomas Hamilton. wife of the
late Thomas Hamilton, a saloonkeeper
in the fiatiron building on State street
near the Nickel Plate tracks, was
found not guilty in the city court to-
day of violating the Indiana liquor
laws. 1t was apparently case of
jury refusing to convict a woman. The
defense put no witnesses on the stand
nor did 1t make an argument. The
state had witnesses to show that she
conducts the saloon and that liquor is
being sold there 1t Is common knowl-
edge, however, that Mrs. Hamilton has
an equity in the saloon building and
that the estate has not yet been ad-
ministered. and that she intends to con-
tinue the business until the estate is
administered. Mrs. Nicholas Kaiser.
who also claims q clear title to the
building, is anxious to have Mrs. Ham
ilton vacate in order to make room for
Jacob Schweitzer. who wants to con-
duct a saloon there.

HAMMOND
LOSES GAME
LAST NIGHT

The basketball game between Ham
mond and Rochester. for the cham
pionship of northern Indiana, was
played in the Hammond high school
gymnasium last evening before about
ESQ people and resulted in defeat
for Hammond by the score of % to IL.
The Hammond boys admit they were
outplayed by the Rochester aggrega-
ton. Rochester in the last year has
produced three stars on the college
teams OF Chicago. Illinois and Purdue
universities, and 1t is the high grade
of proficiency that has been maintained
in this school that made the Rochester
team so formidable last evening.
The particular stars on the Hammond
team were Graves, who is said to have
played the best game of his life, and
Crumpacker who also played a great
game
The Hammond team was composed
of Graves and Gavit. with Crumpacker
substituting for Crumpacker, who
played the guard positions, and Wei
mer and Sprague, with Smith substi-
tuting for Sprague in the forward po-
stions. Blocker played center durine
the entire game. But three games re
main on the Hammond schedule: Blue
Island, Whiting and Japorte. Harry
c. Buck officiated for Hammond and X
c. Johnson for Rochester.

the rapid fire series of word pictures
that have heretofore proven so attrac-

1t is generally known that a pastor
who has preached hundreds of sermons

This difficulty Mr.. Sharp seems to have

Scoville audiences. and not a service

AUTO MEN
HAVE FINE
PROSPECTS

Fred Heintz, who has the largest au-
tomobile sales room and repair shop
in northern Indiana and who has a
number of agents working over the
field, says that the prospects this year
are better than ever before.
He says that there are over 500
prospects on his lists. Heintz says
that he doesn OF expect to sell this
number of cars. but has contracted for
sixty cars for delivery this year.
The repair business was good up to
the time of the last snow storm. and
then it dropped off. 1t is believed that
as soon as the spring weather begins
that the business will be better than
eve:
A noticeable thing about the market
is the fact that buyers show consid-
cradle reluctance in making a cash
payment on an automobile. As Heintz
put it, THE purchaser seems to want
to come In and buy automobile as
he would a loaf OF bread"
f. ]. Boiling of the Homework gar
age says that the prospects for the
sale of cars this year are good. He
has sold three Regal cars in Gary this
spring and expects to sell a number of
others. He says he has an understrung

do good business this year.
The garage business has been good
considering the fact that he did not
start until late in the fall last year.
He is in good shape to handle the
spring business and expects to have
the patronage OF the Homewood car
owners.
Manager Kunert OF the Fayette street
garage started today that he has sold
five Overland cars since the automobile
show. He believes that the prospects
for the sale of cars this year are better
than ever. His agrage. with its advan-
tageous location. is also doing we'll.
Simmons Is Busy.
Manager C. j. simmons of the Ham
mond garage. stated today that he has
sold fourteen cars this spring. A mum.
Der of these cars are for delivery or
