3RD DEGREE
QUIZ BEGUN
At HAMMOND

Alonzo Taylor and Joe Smith, the two
negroes who were arrested in Gary on
the charge of highway robbery, We're
summoned to the Lake superior court
in Hammond this morning.
Although nothing was done owing
to the fact that their attorney, Il. A.
Fetterer was not present. 1t is eX-
peced that the case will come up late
this afternoon.
1t is understood that Taylor will be
questioned by the judge regarding the
third degree" methods that al
legged to have been used in the Gary
police station.
Little credence is placed in Taylor's
story on account of his bad record but
the testimony of other prisoners makes
the belief amount to a conviction that
third degree methods of a brutal and
vicious character have been adopted by
the Gary police force

LITTLE PLUM

a facetious individual called up THE
TIMES office with reference to the ap-
pointment of A Howard Bell as super
intendent of the Bertillon system of
Identification of the Gary police de-
partment several days ago, when the
late incumbent of the job Oscar Fl.
Schmidt, was dismissed by Mayor
Knots through his board of public
safety for being out of the city with
out leave" although Schmidt declares
that the mayor asked him to stay away
while the grand jury was in session.
Shortly after the appointment of Bell
to the job he got wire from the may
or telling him to come to indianapolis,
as he had been appointed a clerk in the
senate. Bell went. Now the facetious
individual wants to know if the board
will fire him, too, for being out of
the city on leave. The appointment
of Bell as a clerk was secured through
the instrVmentality of Mayor Knots
and County Chairman John Gavit. Bell
is republican, but Knots has taken
care of him in many ways. Reports
from indianapolis say that the clerk
ship job is the only thing that Gavit
and the mayor could get away with. as

Don't Use Fire When
Thawing Out Pipes,

Dent thaw out the frozen water
pipe with fire,
That's the warning of the city
plumbing inspector.
1t is more advisable to use hot
rags. or TO pour hot water over the
recalcitrant pipes. A flame is apt
to crack the pipe and there exists
imminent danger of fire.
As wise preventive measure it is
suggested that small stream of
water be kept running these cold
nights
The additional water rental may
be far less than the bill a plumber
may send.

GAV|T'S
SUCCESS IS
PLEASING

The Hammond lawyers feel consid
erably elated over the fact that Sena-
tor Frank Gavit has been appointed on
the committee on Judiciary and also
on the committee on the organization
of the courts.
This gives the North township law
yers a distinct advantage in the court
fight with Gary. Incidentally Gavit has
been appointed on every important
committee in the senate.
AS reported in THE TIMES yesterday
Gavit has been made a member of the
committees on railroads. mines and
mining. telephones and telegraph, con-
gressional apportionment, cities and
towns and soldiers and sailors monu-
ment
1t is very unusual for new member
of the senate to secure so many desira-
Bile representatives in the senate that
Lake county ever had.
Iavit Influential.
Gavit was given more important
committee assignments than any other
republican senator His membership
on these committees will also make him
of the most influential members of
the senate. Furthermore, it will ena
BILE him to bring great deal of pressure
to bear the members of the sem
ate in favor of a court at Hammond
II is understood that the Hammond
delegation is well organized at the
state capital, and that it is doing some
excellent work. The Gary delegation
came back on the train with the Ham
mond crowd last night. They admitted
their surprise that Gavit had been ap-
pointed on the committee on judiciary
| and on organization of the courts.
| 1t now develops that Governor Mar
shall has not promised Gary a superior
| court. but has simply said that he will
| favor some sort of relief for Gary. This
/ relief it is believed Will come in the
/ form of municipal court of enlarged
J jurisdiction.
