inspector

Major Washington Haverstick, gem
eral inspector of public buildings for
the United States government was in
Hammond today for the purpose of in
specting the federal building here.
He declares that the Hammond
building is in remarkably good con-
dition in consideration OF the fact that
1t has been in use for over FIVE years.
The occupants OF the building have
been very careful not TO put nails in
the walls and deface the building in
other ways. He stated that the build
ing had been given good care.
He will make certain recommended
tions for the renewal of carpets or
furniture wherever he thinks It is nec-
essary.

brook Baker company the auditorium
stage, ticket office and rear room of a
building at 245 East Chicago avenue. in
Chicago.

$1,000 each are due March l and June
l have not been paid and suit is
brought to recover the amount.
Mr. skinner, of F. C. Crumpacker, his
Hammond representative, said today

force him to pay on a fraudulent con-
tract and that 1t was a blackmailing
case pure and simple. He declared
| that he refused to enter into any over
lures with them and hence the suit.

The story is also being circulated in

he is abnormal, though it is small
thing. He told of the rats in a CONVEX
sationals way and had apparently not
felt any repulsion at the time.
This subtle lack of the sense of aver
sion has been manifested in every de-
tail throughout the trial. Tom Owen
told how Beattie had insisted on wear
ing the blood stained coat on the morn
ing after the murder, saying that the
stains would not show.
Beattie told how he and Mr. Sherer
had been nearly killed a railroad
crossing while making the run one
morning to the courthouse
tSherer was going to jump out and
leave his prisoner" the boy laughingly
told. THAT was about as near as I've
come to being free"
Sherer, later, was discussing a dan
gerous adventurs-in which he soon ex-
pected to participate. He declared that
he might not live through it.

then in an undertone. IF I'm here my

Two important suits were started in
the United States court at Hammond in
which Louise A Boyd has brought an
action against Leslie r.. Skinner of
Valparaiso for an aggregate of $4,000.
The suits were to recover $4,000 and
$4,000. respectively, on two notes and
TO recover $4,000 which is alleged to
be due for rent a lease that was
guaranteed by Skinner. The suits were
fled by Attorney William ]. WINERY
of Hammond
The action was started in the federal
court for the reason that the plaintiff,
Mrs Boyd. is a resident of California.
The notes under which suit was start
ed are dated Sept. / and Dec. 1. 1910.
and were payable at the Continental
National bank of Chicago.
The other action is etitled Louise

ALL BUNK IS
GREENWALD YARN

Gary who are against the Knots
regime from start to finish IT is al
legged that Greenwald and Knots are
friendly
Attorney Ross said today, There -
a law in Indiana which makes the
promise of a deputyship sufficient TO
invalidate an election. If should
promise single deputyship in the
event of my election and I should be
elected the democrats could have my
election declared invalid and their can
didate would become prosecutor.
For this reason and for the further
reason that do not think that Green
wald would take a deputyship il L
should offer 1t to him I have not made
any promises and it is stretching things
to say that Greenwalds appointment is
a logical development in the event OF
my nomination and election"

NATIVES

The official visit of Frank Tucker,
the state food inspector. has put bak-
ers, confectioners, grocers and milk
dealers in the Calumet region on the
anxious seat. A number of prosecu-
ton have already resulted and more
are to follow.
There is a probability that he may
go farther, and institute prosecutions
against citizens who disregard the
state health laws regulating the con-
ditions of the alleys Accompanied by
DIR. II w. Oberlin, secretary of the
county board of health. Mr.. Tucker last
Monday made an inspection of~some
of the Hammond alleys. He found what
THE TIMES has pointed out time and
again, that the alleys of the city in the
main are unsanitary, disease breed
ers, and a disgrace to the city. He will
also make similar inspections in other
other cities of Lake county
All the Hammond defendants whom
he had arrested appeared in Judge L.
p. Ames' court and pleaded extenuat-
ing circumstances. among other
things. that they were first offenders.
that the conditions in which the food
inspector found their places of busi-
ness or products were rather the ex-
ception than the rule. but realizing
that the evidence was against them,
they pleaded guilty. The lowest fine
possible under the law is $40. The de-
PENDANTS who pleaded guilty were De
Poali & Lucini. George Brahos. and
George schmidt. A warrant on the
same charge has been issued against
Mrs Pelagfa Przybyl. No arrest has
as vet been made. Two charges of
short weight have also been preferred
against Edward Undine by City Sealer
Jacob Friedman.
