MAYOR

Especial to THE TImEs.)

East Chicago. May 20-Mayor
Schlieker returned yesterday from
Washington. where has been for the
past few days in the interests of Post
master Nose Specter. whose removal
from office has been threatened.
The mayor said everything looked
all right for Mr.. Specter, but added
you never can tell about how things
are going in politics. All have to say
is that everything looks all right, with
emphasis on the looks / do not care
to express any decided opinion as to
the course which things will take. only
perhaps TO have the final developments
refute my statement"
Mayor Schlieker when asked for an
expression regarding the outcome of
the Albert Lewis trial, declared that it
was an easy thing to put a man in bad,
who held the position which was occu-
pied by Chief Lewis. His utterances
and their acts could be easily miscon-
strued, making it a simple thing to
convict the most conscientious official
that ever lived. when his office was
that of chief of police. He declared
that II was one thing for an outsider
to assume the 'holier than thou atti-
tude, and look with horror upon what
could be distorted into the appearance
of corruption, but another thing for
him to act when confronted by the
problems which harass a police official
The most honorable man In the world .
declared the mayor. would find 1t
necessary at times to make concessions
which might go against his conscience
in a private capacity in order TO be able
to accomplish any good at all in the
department. / have every confidence
in Chief Lewis honorable intentions
and also in his ability. / believe he has
done as well as any one could have
| done in his position"

DECISION rs
EXPECTED TO BRING
OUT HOT FIGHT
Continued on Page So

tSSdliAucu Oh rage o.
required notice I therefore am of the
opinion that the defendant school city
cannot issue and sell it's bonds for the
purpose of raising funds with which
to pay the contract price for the con
struction of this school.
On the Sale of Property.
Furthermore the defendant school
city has not purchased a new site on
which to relocate the old school build
ing. The only arrangement is has
made is to secure an oral promise of
a lot This may be refused at will and
the schol city would be powerless to
then carry out any past arrangements
relative to turning in the old site on
the cost of the new building. Under
such circumstances il is my opinion
that this frontage cannot be considered
or relied upon as an available asset to
apply on the contract price of the new
building.
On the Right to Build.
IF it is not within the power of the
defendant school city to hire teachers
to teach subjects such as gas ftting,
plumbing and electric wiring. etc. 1t is
not within its power to spend money
to build a building expressly designed
and planned for use as school in
which to teach such manual training
subjects"
After citing a number Of decisions
the court says. I'm the light of these
decisions 1 hold that the defendant
school city does not possess the power
to establish manual training depart
ment as a part of its schol system.
1900. Remark of Court.
1.-The law points out the mode of pro-
ceedure, defines the limitations. and
contains the Instructions as a guide
to this court and nothing remains for
a court to do but to interpret and ap-
ply the law as It is. have endeavored
| to do this rightly and without fear or
favor. There are large interests in
volved here and still greater interests;
those of multitude of boys and girls
to be considered.
I'm this connection 1t may be observ-
ed that by moving the Central school
building and selling the real estate
| fronting on Holman street and by the
sale of bonds a fund can be secured
which, together with the cash that will
be collected on existing levies, will en-
able the defendant school city to build
a suitable building"
Conclusions of Law On Facts Found

New Yorker Discovers Fish That
Strikes at Cigar Butts and Has
Taste for Nicotine.

Bartletts, N. Y.-John J. Flanagan,
manager at Bartletts, has as one of
his proteges a black bass which uses
tobacco. The fish, being an intelli.
gent one, does not smoke cigarettes.
But it chews.
Mr.. Flanagan got acquainted with
the habits of the bass about a month
ago. The bass favorite loaf1ng ground
is near a power-house. Always, when
Mr. Flanagan goes to the power
house, he filings the cigar he happens
to be smoking away, SO that there
will be no danger of fire.
He flung his cigar into the water by
the power-house one day and the bass
made rush for it and grabbed it. dis
appearing under the water. Mr..
Flanagan thought little of that at the
time, for on certain days bass will
strike at nearly anything, while on
other days the most alluring bait will
not tempt them A day or two later
he flung another cigar butt into the
water and the same fish rose to 1t
and nabbed 1t.
After this had happened dozen
times. Mr.. Flanagan was forced to
the conclusion that it was not mere
random hunger on the part OF the
bass. but a genuine taste for tobacco.
Several times shreds OF the cigar.

Harm in Too Much Exercise.

DR.. Lawrason Brown and DIR. f. HI.
Heise of Saranac Lake, in an article
on Properly Regulated Rest and Elk
ercise in Pulmonary tuberculosis" in
the June number of the Journal of the
Outdoor Life, holds that the action
of the poisonous germs Of this disease
on the body is very similar to that of
overexercise. The poisonous irrita-
tons caused by the germs gives the
organs and tissues of the body dou-
BILE load to carry. Drs. Brown and
Heise emphasize the Importance of
rest in the treatments of tuberculo-
sis, but also insist that properly reg
ulated exercise is very necessary.
They state their conclusions thus:
ITO sum up, exercise when properly
regulated and systematically graded
is an important factor in the treat
ment Of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Through it the patient is in many
cases returned to home and family
with lessened chances Of future re
lapse. At the same time part of his
earning capacity is restored and he
is consequently financially less de-
pendent upon others, relieving him Of
much worry, expense and hardship"
