Had a Big Time.

The members of the Hammond news
boys union had the time of their lives
al the Dutch lunch that was served in
the hall on the main floor of the Huehn
building Wednesday evening.
There We're in the neighborhood of
sixty five members present and one of
the features of the evening was the
taking of a fiashlight picture Of the
crowd. The boys were served with
sandwiches. and THE TIMES presented
them with two punches of bananas.
The newsboys are the best friends
THE TINES has and the little present
of two punches of bananas was made
in recognition of the fact that the
boys always boost the sale of THE
TIMES on the street.
The only untoward happening of the
evening was the rush that was made
for the sandwiches, pop and bananas
The boys say they had great fun. but
that a fellow had to be good grab
ber' to get anything to eat.

Even the wheels of justice appar-

Martin Finneran had endorsed no
check. and accordingly Louis Elder.

BETz ENTERS
IN ANOTHER
NEW FIELD

The F. S. Betz Co. has taken up the
manufacture of marbelite, the material
which was formerly manufactured by
the Ideal Marbelite company of Ham
mond and has purchased the machine
owned by this company with which
the product is to be mixed and manu-
factured
The Ideal Marbelite company was or
ganized in Hammond with the follow
ing officers:
President--George B. Sheerer
Secretary -treasurer-A. II. Taper.
Directors@Dr. H. c. Groman and VIM.
Kleihege.
There is no question that the product
which was manufactured by the Ham
mond firm was a good thing, but there
we're none of the officers who were
willing to give the matter their time
and attention. and as result the busi-
ness of the company did not expand
as was expected.
1t is understood that the F. s. Betz
company proposes to manufacture this
product for the purpose of selling it to
doctors for office flooring. Betz made
quite a study of the product during
his recent trip to Germany and is con-
vinced that it has a great field of USE

CLUB ELECTION COMING
FOR MARCH SEVENTH
Many Names Heard in Con:
nection With University
Clubs Presidency.

A great deal of interest is being TAX
en- by the members of the University
club in the coming election of officers.
which will take place on Tuesday.
March I.
During the last two years the club
has grown to proportions which make
it one of the largest and most inf1u-
ential social organizations in the re-
gion.
While the club is stil in a forma-
tive stage, and only a beginning has
been made in its development it has
been provided with comfortable and at
tractive quarters, and 1t is believed
that its membership will, within 'the
next year, be increased to 200. the linn
it provided by the constitution.
Already the members are talking
over the important matter of the se-
lection of officers to take the places
of the present incumbents. A number
of names have been suggested for the
presidency, among which are David
Emery, DIR. Elmore Salisbury and Carl
Ames.
In addition to the president there
will be a vice president a secretary a
treasurer and three directors to be
elected. Candidates are being suggest
ed for all of these places.
So far as can be learned none of the
members of the club have begun an ac-
tive campaign for office. However, the
friends of some of the prospective can
didates are feeling out the situation
with a view of learning the strength of
their friends.
In the meantime the present officers
are working overtime in an effort to
get the affairs of the club in shape to
| be turned over to the succeeding ad
minfstration. A number of new mem
bers are to be taken in and it is
hoped that the finances of the club
will be in first-class condition by the
time their terms of office expire
The principal social event on the
schedule is the Washington's birthday
dance which will be held on Feb. 22
! 1t is expected that there will be a large
| attendance. Those who do not dance
will play cards.

Twenty five dollars and costs and
thirty days in jail and a scorching lee
ture were meted out in the city court

guilty of public indecency.
Paul Croak is a brother of the
notorious Morris Croak, who is now a
fugitive from justice and who is want
ed for his cowardly attack upon a
helpless negro
The complaining witness was Ethel
Herman. a 17-year- old girl, who testi-
fed that Paul Croak yesterday used
vile and indecent language otward her
while she was in an ice cream parlor
with a girl friend and a young man.
She said the remark was a threat by
Paul Croak because he thought she
was partly responsible for the news

received. Morris Croak. for whom two
warrants are out is said to be in West

PLAN HAS
Approval.
Of LAWYERS

Hammond and East Chicago lawyers
who returned from Indianapolis last
night say That the Hammond court
bill has good prospect of passage In
the senate now that the Crown Point
lawyers have been given their little
stick of candy.
AS the matter now stands Hammond
will receive one and three-eighths of a
judge. while Crown Point Will receive
fve-eighths of judge. The way this
is figured out is that one extra judge
will sit in Hammond all of the time.
while the other extra judge will sit in
Hammond three of the eight weeks of
the term and in Crown Point five of the
eight weeks OF the term.
In other words one of the two extra
judges will sit in Hammond for three
weeks of the eight weeks term and
then during the interim between the
terms of the Lake circuit court at
Crown Point the second extra Judge
will preside over the circuit court for
five weeks.
This explains why it is not necessary
for the Legislature to establish a SUI
perior court at Crown Point The ad
vantage of this plan is said to be that
Crown Point will not be compelled to
get the relief, it claims ii needs, by
means of a continuous circuit court
which would cause trouble with La
porte and Michigan City.
The Hammond superior court judge
would in reality be a circuit court
| judge, while in Crown Point and a su-
perior court judge while in Hammond
The lawyers who have investigated the
matter say that the laws OF the state
! do not conflict with this plan to create
hybrid judgeship.
