SUBlEASES
0RPHE()M

James w. Wing field, the lessee of the
Orpheum. formerly Tow1e's Opera
House. today subleased the popular
playhouse to John q. Berscheit who,
beginning on Thursday, May 4th, opens
a vaudeville season to last until next
September, possibly longer.
With this change there is another
one in the resident management of the
house. H. l. ST. Clair of 4S4 Sibley
street, formerly of the National Thea
ter company of Chicago. will supplant
George Manderbach, who has served
the patrons of the Towle Opera House
for two years.
Mr.. Berscheit was in Hammond to-
day, and is confident that he has a
strong asset in the Orpheum.
Il have had my eyes on that play
house for several years." said he, "and
1 am satisfied that we can make vaude-
VILE popular this summer. 1 have
number OF houses in Indiana, Illinois
and Wisconsin, and while 1 have the
Orpheum only until Sept. 1st, for the
present. / may continue with 1t next

4th, will have FIVE feature acts. two
reels of moxing pictures and the full
orchestra. The prices will be popular.
and venture to say before have
gone very far, we will be putting on
matinees.'
Mr. ST. Clair is an experienced the
atrical man. He knows Hammond and
the surrounding cities and is therefore
in position to judge what to give his
patrons.
Mr. Manderbach has had several Of
fers to go elsewhere, but has not yet
decided which one he will accept. He
and Mrs. Manderbach will in all proba-
bility spend the summer at some resort.

PURTELLE
VISITS CITY
AND TALKS

Eugene Purtelle, spectacular fnan-
cier and promoter, whose northern In
diana traction bubble. was pricked last
fall when he was thrown into the
hands of the receiver, was in Hammond
today making q number of calls on per-
sons with whom he had business rela-
tions in the past.
Apparently Purtelle believes the nest
eggs which he had in the shape of .
traction line on paper and the con-
comitant free publicity has not been
spoiled by age. despite the fact it lay
on the ash heap where the heat of in
dignatfon and the chill of public dis
interest touched it alternately.
While in Hammond today Mr.. Pur-
telle said he would give the company's
notes to the stockholders who lost their
money because he went into bankrupt
cy.
Because of the fact that the public
cannot connect the Aea of Mr. Purtelle
and successful northern Indiana line,
the news that the stockholders who are
holding the bag are to get the com
pany's notes instead of dividends, is not
causing any wild excitement in the
Hammond stock market.
When Purtell apd his dreamlike first
hit the bumps Inst fall several Lake
county citizens held number of con-
ferences. at which the question OF max
ing the line reality was taken up.
Some of tho interested citizens were
stockholders, and they did not care to
venture any more. The whole project

JUDGE ANDERSON !
HITS SAL00NmEN'
Keeping Side Doors Open on Sunday
Grounds for Refusing Second Sets
of Papers to Foreigners

Judge A. B. Anderson Of the United
States District court now in session
at Hammond today ruled in five cases,
in which saloon keepers are seeking
their second papers, that evidence Of
the fact that they have kept their
side doors open On Sunday is suffi-
ciently proof that the applicants are
not law abiding citizens and are not
Of good moral character and conse-
quently are not entitled to their Sec
ond papers.
This Is the worst blow that has
yet fallen upon the saloon keepers of
the county as a result of the passage
Of the democratic Proctor liquor law.
The law itself explicitly states that
no saloon keeper may secure license
who is not a full fedged citizen or in
liew of that has not resided In the
state for at least 10 years.
Then along comes the federal court
and rules that man who keeps his

saloon door open is not of good moral
character and cannot secure his second
naturalization papers.
AWAIT BECkER'S DECISION.
If the case of Paul Harvath is decid-
ed adversely to the sa.oon keeper by
Judge Lawrence Becker next Saturday
1t will mean that there will be a large
ni.mber of saloon keepers who will be
barred from securing their second pap
ers and consequently from getting IL
cei.ses.
The situation is serious one for 1t
means that scores OF roreign saloon
keepers will eventually be driven out of
the saloon business by the Proctor
law.
The evidence against the saloon
keepers. who are charged in the federai
court with keeping their side doors
open. was secured by Fred A. Weber,
deputy naturalization examiner work
ing under George A Crutchfield, the
chief naturalization examiner. who
came out from Chicago this morning to
take personal charge of these naturali-
zation matters. There were Sc nat
uralization papers pending of which
35 were granted, five were denied and
tho others Will be taken up this after
noon.

Want the Lights.

The board of public works is wonder
ing why the Northern Indiana Gas &
Electric company is apparently disre-
garding the boards request for more
street lights. The company has an or
der for about twenty lights to be put
up in various places in Hammond, and
while the order is nearly a month old,
none of.the lights have as yet been
placed.
John Rhode, a member of the board
of public works, said this morning that
he could not account for the delay and
that the board and the city administra-
tion were not to blame for the lack of
street lights.
The board is the target for attack
from the taxpayers who are complain
ing because of the lack of street lights,
especially since repeated requests have
been made, but Mr. Rhode says that the
blame lies with the light company and
not with the board.

follows:
J. The city of Gary threatened to In

by Hammond prevents this undesirable

put his signature to the document and

where those present said they could get

Thus the first definite step in oppo-

other the defeat of Petek Max. the lone

The copper penny had turned the coll

due to the fact that the penny has
