After Short Stay.

Again Judge A. r. Anderson of the

has blighted Hammond's hopes OF hav-

several weeks each term.
After disposing of some naturaliza-
tion matters, entering some orders in
cases which have been defaulted or
settled and finally presiding over the
trial of the case of George w. Law
renee VS.. the Pennsylvania Co. Judge
Anderson finally decided to adjourn

suit is being brought to 100000 to

This case comes from South Bend
and is legitimately a northern Indiana
case, but Judge Anderson prefers to
try it at indianapolis. and so it will go
over to the May term at that place.

CROWN POINT WANTS
TO BECOME 4 CITY
Possibility That Election
Will Soon Be Called to
Vote on Plan.

Crown Point, Ind, April 2o.-"Crown
Point a city
That is what you will read in THE
TIMES not many moons from this day
of our Lord, April e1, 1911.
AS yet the movement toward placing
the toga of city government upon the
head of Miss Crown Point is in its
infancy. but certain sure. "the child is
born,'' and as it has plenty of god
fathers and mothers, to rear it in the
way ii should go, rock ii in the city
crib. teach it to say mayor and alder
man, and Undue it with dreams of an
nexation. and all the other intricate
and denious paths of civic progress. it
Will not be at all surprising to see it
shed its town swaddling clothes,
twaddle to the polls and decide whether
It's parents call it Miss Town or Miss
City-and all this before it is many
moons older.
To dfsinterested readers the above
will sound as plausible as a certain
real estate Journals project of CON
Meeting Crown Point with the industrial
belt OF the Calumet region. by a naviga-
BILE waterway-for the idea of Crown
Point ever becoming more than the
Town Of Crown Point has never ent-
cred the heads of lots of people.
But there are exceptions to all rules
and in this case the idea has entered
the heads of several of Crown Points
most prominent citizens and is liable
to become a fixed and permanent one.
so much so, that nothing short of an
election and a demonstration of the
peoples will in the matter, wili satisfy
them.
The advantage of a city form of gov
ernment for Crown Point in it's present
!, status are manifold and too evident 70
be dwelt upon. and it Is safe to say thar
the move toward a city government to
be instituted will meet with the
unanimous approval of the entire popu-
| lation.
| With the advent of the interurban
line and the making of Crown Point a
| residence town proper with an ever
increasing population, the time has
come to take a forward step in the
way of city administration of busines:
affairs. and it is to this end that the
efforts of the movers in the city idea
will be bent So grab onto the city

other Improvement measures which
Crown Point needs. ard live to see ths
day when the county seat will becon,

TINES BUREAU.
AT STATE CAPITAL.
Indianapolis, Ind, April 20.-Two
important blows were administered
to the illegal liquor traffic in Indiana,
yesterday, one by Judge Anderson, Of
the Federal court, and the other by
Governor Marshall
Each acted on his own motion, of
course, not knowing that the other
was about to hand one" to the blind
tiger operators and the liquor law
violators, but the fact that the two
blows were struck on the same day
made it an interesting coincidence.
Judge Anderson decided in the cases
Of some Hammond and Gary saloon
keepers that foreigners could not be
naturalized after they nao been found
guilty of violating the laws Of the
state. Governor Marshall issued an

chase that Dune Park farm for the par
entail school last night because it held
no meeting, although the report had
been circulated that the farm would be
taken over by the board yesterday.
School Superintendent William A.
Writ is out of the city and the board
does not wish to act without him pres
ent. Mrs. Writ is in a Chicago hospital
and the school executive has been at
her bedside for the past few days.
Unless special call Is issued there
will be no school board meeting this
week. There is, however. a call for a
special meeting to be held next Mon
day evening, at which time the beard
will probably act on the school farm.

MILLER NOW
HAS SCHOOL
OFF DC|ALS
Live Wire Town Board Gets
Into Action at Special
Meeting and Organizes a
Board to Manage Towns
Educational System.

Millers live wire town board has
been doing things lately. got into ac-
ton at a special meeting last night and
the school town of Miller and
elected a school board to manage the
affairs of the county )
northwesterly town.
BY separating the school manage
ment from the township Miller will
gain materially. More than $1,000 in
school taxes is annually collected from
Miller taxpayers and the Hobart town
ship trustee has been spending but
$4,000 of this amount in the town the
rest being devoted to the upkeep of
rural schools.
Elect Three Trustees.
Town trustees Olander, North and
Frcderickson elected the following as
school trustees:
Charles Blank-One year term.
George F. Peterson-Two year term.
Howard f. Carlson-Three year term.
Some time this week the new school
board will meet to effect formal or
ganization. Prof H. Jones, the present
principal of the township school, will
probably be retained as school super
intendent.
VIII Have Play Grounds.
I'VE gain great advantage by or
ganizing the school town." said Mayor
William Olander this morning. Miller
will now have an annual school surplus
of more than $4,500 besides running ex-
penses. What to do with this extra
money is now the question. For my
part / am in favor of making muni-
cipal play ground on the Gary style.
The town board also passed resoiu-
tionsf providing for the opening o.
Aetna, Grand ana DsuSlas avenues. Isf

BLOW TO ILLEGAL
LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Judge Anderson and Gov. Marshall
Gave Coincident Raps On Same
Day to Law Violators

order to the state board of pharmacy
that the board should revoke the Ii
cense of any druggist who persists in
violating the liquor laws.
The druggist order is regarded as the
more important of the two, because
drug stores are thick in Indiana. For
months reports have been reaching the
Governor to the effect that many drug
gists were violating the liquor laws by
selling liquar illegally. In other words
they were running blind tigers 1t was
even reported in a number of cases that
druggists only took out pharmacist Ii
censes in order that they might run
drug stores and sell liquor. They paid
little or attention to their drug end
of their business and depended almost
entirely on the liquor business.
One instance was reported where a
former saloon man in a city that went
dry under the county option law start
ed a drug store after he had been driv-
en- out of the saloon business. He en-
ployed a registered and licensed

Lake superior court entered in the
court docket the order which granted
MarEaretha Kohnl<e separate main
tenance from her husband. Karl
Kohnke of Tolleston, he did not know
that the plaintiff had been dead for
three hours
The court had provided that the ia
ther should pay 81 for the support of
little 7-year-old Anna Kohnke and
awarded the mother the custody of the
child.
The case is said to be pitiful one
The plaintiff was represented by the
firm of Mcmahon & Conroy, and while
Attorney Conroy was in court looking
after the interests of his client. he did
not know that she was dead at her
home in Tolleston.
Mrs. N obnke is said to have been an
invalid and the case, taken altogether,
is very pitiful one.

BUSINESS
Man MAKES
PREDICTION

Eben n Bunnell. the Lake County
representative of the National Cash
Register Co., whose finger is close to
the business pulse of the entire region
stated yesterday that the Proctor Ii
quor law. passed by the legislature and
the $50 license ordinance passed by the
Gary city council would result in pus-l
ting 152 saloons out of business in
Gary
Bunnell sold most of these saloon
keepers their cash registers and as
practically all of them were sold on the
payment plan he is in close touch with
the situation.
However Bunnell takes an optimistic
view of the situation The saloon busi-
ness is not constant and is the first to
feel the pinch of hard times. He de-
clares that many of the business loca-
.tions that are vacated by saloons will
be occupied by other business houses
of a more reliable character.
Hit Second Time.
When the township remonstrance
was signed in Calumet township and
all of the saloons were put out of busi-
ness Gary suffered it's first blow as a
result of the unreliabiIity of the saloon
business Scores of stores were vacat-
ed and the city was months in recover
ing from the effects.
Now that the democrats have passed.
the Proctor liquor law which is desiSn-
ed to put hundreds of foreign saloon
keepers in the state out of the business
Gary is about to receive another blow.
In addition to those who have been
disqualified from holding a license be-
cause they are not citizens there are a
number of saloon keepers in Gary who
will be able to pay the $500 license fee
that has been levied by the city coun-
ell and they will have to go out of busi-
ness.
That this condition OF affairs exists
Is known only too well by Bunnell for
the reason that he will have to take
back large number of machines upon
which only few payments have been
made.
| But Bunnell thinks that another six
months will see a great Improvement in
/ business conditions in Gary and tina
I the empty saloon 1oca tions will be filled
1 by grocery and meat stores and other
kinds of business.
