IS PERJURY NEEDED
TO GET A LICENSE?

According to a number of well known
attorneys In Hammond. East Chicago
and Gary it is necessary for a saloon
keeper to perjure himself in order to
get his naturalization papers in the
federal court now in session at Ham
mond.
Loud complaints have been heard
from every quarter. A saloonkeepsr
who goes before the court and swears
that he never kept his saloon open on
Sunday is given his second papers
while the man who admits that he did
as all of the other saloon keepers have
done and kept his side door opened on
Sunday Is promptly denied.
But there is another side to this
question. Chief Naturalization Exemin-
er Morton A. Sturges of Chicago, who
IS making a record of all of these cases
said today: I'VE will examine the case
OF every saloon keeper who has sworn
that he did not keep his saloon open
on Sunday and IL we are able TO prove
that he has perjured himself he will be
compelled to answer to the charge.
They are likely 70 suffer worse than the

Big Real Estate Dealer Says
That People of Hammond
Do Not Appreciate the
Wonderful Advantages of
Region.

iSeorEe E. RickQrds. the owner of q
large amount Of valuable acreage in
the south part OF Hammond, was In the
city today for the purpose of looking
after his interests.
The people of Hammond do not ap-
preciate what wonderful advantages
this region has. Its river and its lakes
should form the most remarkable net
work of waterways that the world has
ever known" said Mr.. Rickords.
Il have just returned from sum-
mer in Europe. and l marveled at the
waterway development that l saw there.
While the United States is far ahead of
Europe in a great many things, we
must admit that Europeans surpass us
in the development of their rivers and
canals.
The city of Hammond has the most
wonderful opportunities for develop
ment as a transportation center of any
community I have ever visited The
day will come when Wolf Lake, Lake
George. the Indiana Harbor canal and
the Calumet river will form the most
remarkable system of canals and docks
in the United States"
THE people of Hammond must first
appreciate the possibilities of develop
ing this property ard then they mus'
set about to make the most of their
opportunities" continued Mr.. Rickords
The time is not far distant when al
of the territory between South Chicago
and Michigan City will be one enormous
hive of industry. and that will mean
that all of the territory south to the
Ridge road will be residential prop
erty."
One of Mr.. Rickord's pet ideas is thai
all freight from the east will at some
time in the near future be shipped &c
Hammond, where it will break bull
and will then be shipped in parcels ts
the consignee.
Mr. Rickords was formerly a director
of the Chicago Title & Trust company
and although he has now retired from
active business. he takes lively inter
est in business affairs and Is counted
one of the leading citizens of Chicago.

MARKET
IDEA NOW
CONSIDERED
City Authorities Take Up
Disposition of Empty Lot
in Rear Of City Hall; Will
ing to Give City Market
Plan a Trial in Hammond.

The idea of a city market for Ham
mond was presented for the first time
in the city council last night, when
Mayor John d Smalley referred to it
incidentally. in connection with the fu-
turs disposition of the vacant property
between the rear of the city hall and
the city barn Although the reference
was but Incidental. the matter of fact
way in which 1T was made by the city's
chief executive, indicates that he has
given thought and study to the subject.
and that he is willing that the city
market should be given trial in Ham
mond.
Councilman John Pascaly brought up
the subject with a suggestion that the
city reove the eye-sore and catch all In
the rear of the city hall This vacant
piece of property fronts on Truman ave-
nue. and lies opposite Central Park.
For years it has been used as a storage
yard for water and sewer pipes, broke n
down wagons and machinery belonging
to the city, and not being inciosed wish

men who have been denied their citizen
ship papers"
To Investigate.
Following the disposition of the 146
second papers the naturalization exam
iner will start an investigation of all
of the cases In which saloon keepers
have decalred that they have not kept
open on Sunday.
Later these men will be summoned to
court and will be asked why they have
perjured themselves. A number of the
attorneys for saloonkeepers have re-
fused TO permit their clients to perjure
themselves and consequently their pa
pers were denied.
1t is said that there Is one instance
where saloonkeeper is actually un-
der indictment, and yet has sworn to
the court that he has never been ar
rested.
The examination of the applicants Is
done as rapidly as possible, and only
when a man swears that he is a sa-
foonkeeper does the questioning be-
come searching
1t is expected that the work of ex-
amining the applicants for second pa
pers will be completed by noon today.
All the cases at issue having gone over
for the term and the jury having been
discharged, the court will adjourn to-
day

OPERATORS
DIFFER WITH
MANAGERS
Photoplay Houses Are Will
ing to Give Raise in Wages
But Decline to Sign Con
tracts When Operators Re-
fuse to Sign Bonds.

As result of a difference between
the owners of moving picture shows
and the operators of the moving pic-
tuge machines in Hammond and other
cities In Lake county. including Gary
and Indiana Harbor. the operators have
all quit and their places have been TAX
en- by new men
The owners of the theatres agreed
to an increase in the scale of from
s12 to $3.50 for the men who work
nights only and from SIT to s21 a week
for the men who work afternoons and
nights, but they would not sign a con-
tract with the men.
They give as a reason for not signing
the contract the fact that the operators
will not agree to sign bond for 81
600 as a guarantee that they will be
responsible for the loss or destruction
of films.
The theatre owners say they will
accede to the demands of the operators
SO far as wages are concerned. but
that they demand in return a degree
of protection from loss on account of
the carelessness of the men.
Reilly Talks.
Manager Reilly of the Princess made
a. statement in which he said, The
operators of machines do not want to
give US anything in return for the con-
cessions we have made. l have had
men quit me on five minutes notice
and simply leave a note saying that
they would not be back have lost
two rolls of films as a result of the
carelessness of operators, and these
have cost me $3.50 each.
What / want is some guarantee
that a man will be on hand TO work
when the theatre opens and some
guarantee that l will not have to suf-
fer the loss If a man. leaves film on
the train on his way out from Chica go .
1t is said that William Craick of the
Bijou theatre and Fred Lash of the
Idle Hour" have signed the agree
ments with the men. Patrick Reilly OF

Her story in all OF its terrible details

The girl made a splendid witness and
1T IS said that she impressed the jury
with the absolute truthfulness of her
tory She told how her ruin had been
deliberately planned by Finneran, how
one buggy ride in company with an
other girl had finally lead to the lonely
ride in West Hammond where she is
alleged to have been assaulted. She
told of meeting Finneran in Hammond.
