FASHIONS FOR RAINY DAYS
Divided Skirt Is Practical, as " Does
Away With Health EndangerIng
Pettlcoats.

What q pity the divided skirt was
introduced III the spring when we
were on the Threshold Of a delightful
summer! If the inventors Of this style
Of skirt had but launched it at the
present time, when wet weather makes
the divided skirt seem plausible, 1t
might have had something Of chance.
But the jupe cullotte made its appear
ance at an inauspicious time and
now they are absolutely dead or worn
with a secrecy which does not force
their Insecurity upon the Iong-suher-
ing public.
OF the slashed skirt we are quite
tired, save for few more or less &c
centric survivals In the ballroom, and
even with the triangular opening tllled
in by piece Of contrasting material
this style though attractive, Is no
longer new.
AS a rainy day accessory the dlyid'
ed skirt should be welcomed. II "a
practical, as It does away with petit
coats, which are positively harmful tc
health on rainy day, and II may BE-
made SO unobtrusive that even the
most prudlsh could not object to this
form Of dress

ELECTION
TAKES PLACE
LAST NIGHT

The annual election of directors and
officers for the Home Building Loan &
Savings association last night was
practically a vote of confidence for the
old officers The only change in the
directorate was that asked for by An
ton Taper. the president of the cor
poration. who withdrew his name in IA
vor of John l. Rohde. He was re-
elected president, however.
The report of the association as
read last night shows it to be in the
most prosperous condition, having over
6,S6S shares in force. 1t was pointed
out as a matter of record that in the
eighteen years of it's existence the
Home" has not acquired dollars
worth of property. and that with the
exception of less than 500, which rep
resents office fixtures, the total assets
are either first mortgages and cash on
hand.
In view of the fact that Indiana Is
considered having the best building
and loan laws in the country, the addi-
tional fact that the state auditors
printed report showing the Home" to
be second to none in the whole state.
The officers are as follows:

piled by THE TIMES, indicates that the
building and loan associations in this
city are of enormous economic value
to the community. They teach the
people to save and make available for
building purposes an enormous amount
of money which would not be saved in
any other way.
These splendid institutions are an
auxiliary to the five banks of the city
which safeguard deposits amounting to
over 100000. The prosperous build
ing and loan associations of the city
together with it's banks make it the
unquestioned financial center of the
region.
The influence of these organizations
has been extended to the neighboring
cities and some of the most responsible
business men in the region ar back of
them. 1t is this fact which gives the
people confidence in them and which
makes them such a factor in the up
bailding of the city.
1t is only by the compilation Of such
statistics as THE TIMES has prepared
that the influence of these organiza-
lions may be estimated. There have
recently been organized two new asso-
|ciations, the Calumet Building & Loan
Association and the First Polish Build
ing & Loan Association. Both of these
institutions are doing splendidly.

GREENWALO PUTS ONE

CONSERVATION in Buffet
With Dynamite.

Charles Greenwald has a good Joke
on number of Gary citizens He
was over in Gary collecting evidence
in murder case He secured a num-
Der of revolvers and had them done up
in neat package.
On his way to Hammond he stopped
in the Gary buffet and laid the pack
age on the bar. One of his friends gave
the package vigorous shove and
Greenwald Immediately exclaimed.
Look out; that is dynamite"
There was an instantaneous scramble
for cover. One man boIted out the
door of the place. There was great
CONSERVATION for a minute and Char
ley never disabused the minds of his
friends as to what the package really
contained
In this manner the story that Green
valid knew all about the dynamiters
originated. Greenwald says he has the
laugh on the town. The Hammond
friends of James Finneran claim that
he has not been arrested in connection
with the bomb explosions and state
cious effort to involve them in the mat

K|STlERS REPEAL VITAL
TO INSANE FELONS

defense of insanity is interposed
whether upon a special plea or a gem
eral plea of not guilty, the court or
jury trying the cause shall make a
finding both as to the sanity of said
defendant at the time so claimed and
as to whether he committed the &C as
charged. And if it shall be found in
favor of said defendant on such plea of
insanity, but against him as to the
commission of the act as charged, he
shall upon order of the court be com
mitted to and confined in the Indiana
colony for the insane criminals in like
manner and on such conditions and for
such terms as is now provided for by law
for the confinement of insane criminals
IN a state hospital for the insane"
The remainder of the law, with which
the repeal bill of Senator Kistler does
not deal, provides for the esta adjustment
of the prison for insane in connection
with the Indiana state prison, its man
agemet, site, bulldogs. maintenance out
of the funds appropriated for the state
prison. transfer of insane convicts at
the prisons or in any of the state hos
pitfalls and other details
One of the provisions of the law,
unaffected by the proposed repeal, sets
out the manner in which a lunacy
commission shall investigate the case
of a prisoner whom the prison physi-
clan, the warden or the superintenden Mt
believes to be insane, the procedure to
be followed in adjuding him insane
and the right of the Governor to order
the convict transferred to the prison
for the insane. A convict recovering
his sanity before the expiration of his
term is transferred back to the institu-
ton to which he was sentenced by the
court. Otherwise he is kept at the
prison for the insane as long as his
insanity continues. An examination OF
the act of 1909 shows that the sections
not included in Kistler's proposed re-
peal deal with convicts who were in
sane at the time of the passage of the
act, or who become insane after their
Incarceration in the state prison or re-
formatory.
In discussing his bill, Senator Kistler
says the section the repeal of which he
seeks is unconstitutional and in opera
tive He says it is not included in the
original purpose of the bill. and the
title OF the law contains no reference to
1t. He says it is wrong because it APP
plies only to male persons accused OF
crime. and that it should be repealed
because 1t puts the stamp of a criminal
on a man who, being insane. is incapa-
BILE of forming a criminal intent.

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis. Ind, January 13.-The
repeal of the law which provides that
if a defense of insanity is interposed
in a prosecution for felony and the
court or jury finds that the felony was
committed by the defendant, but that
he was insane at the time of its COM
mission. the defendant shall be confined
in the Indiana Hospital for Insane
Criminals at Michigan City is sought
by Senator Kistler. of Logansport His
bill to repeal section 1912 of the of
March 5, 1909. While the bill asks
only the repeal of the one section, it
would leave the law in such shape that
as far as the practical working of the
law is concerned. the prison for insane
criminals in the future would be used
only for the Incarceration of those who
become insane after they become con-
victs
There is a statute enacted many
years ago regarding procedure in case
the insanity defense is interposed. This
law provided that when a person tried
for crime is acquitted on the sole
ground that he was insane at the time
the crime was committed, this fact
shall be found in the verdict, and the
shall forthwith be proceeded against
on the charge of insanity. The statute
provided that the proceedings should
conform to those prescribed for the
admission of a patient to state hos
pital for the insane. The result of this
statute was that at the trial on the
insanity charge, the question was as
TO the sanity of the defendant, not
when he committed the felony, but at
the time 1t was sought to put him in a
hospital. Usually several months had
elapsed To avoid the change of the
defendants being sent to the hospu~.
the temporary insanity or brain
storm" defense was in common use If
the Kistler meaure is successful and
the section of the prison-for- insane
law is repealed. this is the procedure
that should have to be followed, pro-
vided the old statue has not been wiped
out by the act of 1909. If the act of
1909 did repeal any part of the old
statute, there would be procedure at
all which could be followed if the in
sanity defense was successfully shown
The section against which the attack
of Senator Kistler is directed is as fol-
lows: Section 16 1-2. After the pass
age of this act If upon the trial Of any
male person accused of a felony, the

The Home Building & Loan associa-
ton, with it's $1.000.000 of capital
stock and it's 700 or more subscribers,
has long been one of the big factors
in the development of the city.
1t has been in existence for eighteen
years. The printed repoIe of the audi

Building & Loan association to be one
of the best institutions of it's kind in
the state.
1t will be somewhat surprising to
the people of Hammond to know that
in West Hammond the Sobieski Build

in the community. 1t is a million-dol
