To TACKLE
QUESTION
Of LICENSE

Hammond's city council will tackle
the saloon license question at it's regu :
lar meeting this evening. 1t may tackle
it by letting il alone which would have
the effect that the license would auto
matically raise from $3.50 to $500 a year
underethe new law.
The law provides that the saloon IL
cense must. be at least 5000. and that
the city council may raise it to $500 but
such action must be taken within thir-
ty days otherwise the right to raise the
license is forfeited
Another feature of the law is that
according to which the four saloons in
Hessville will be taxedN the same as
Hammond. this being due to the fact
that they are within two miles of the
city of Hammond
Mayor Sma1ley will not attempt to
influence the city council in its action
on the saloon license question. 1t was
confidently believed today that the
council would not go above the $20C
figure.
Mayor Smalley will preside this even
ing at the council meeting. this being
the first time that he acts in that ca
pacity since he took the office.

LEES CHANCES FOR
PLUM NOT OVER
If He Is Not Appointed
State Chairman Will Go
After His Job Again.

Washington. March 21.-The United
States narshalship political pot is be-
ginning to boil again. The White,
House is letting 1T be known that the
marshalship is still an open subject for
consideration and that nobodys rights
have been foreclosed. State Chairman
Lee is assuming that he still has
chance. A new feature of .ne situation
is a frank declara ton by Mr. Lee that
IL he is not appointed marshal he will
be a candidate for reelection as state
chairman and will go into the fight to
win. If he is appointed marshal he
will withdraw from the chairmanship.
There are signs of a together
move on the part of Republican lead
ers, who are opposed to the appoint
ment of Lee as marshall. They are ap
prehensive that unless they can offer
an Affirmative program instead Of one
solely of opposition to Lee, the Presi,
dent may get tired of listening to so
many different suggestions and appoint
Lee as the most convenient way OF get
ting rid Of a troublesome situation.
Several Indiana Republicans will
drop" into Washington this week on
marshalship politics and more will
come next week. unless the Presidont
concludes to bring the matter to a
head sooner.

MORE CHICKEN THIEVES
ARE NABDEO BY POLICE

A neat looking pair of chicken
thieves were rounded up at One Hun
dredth and Indiana boulevard by OFF,
Ger Fandrei last night about 1 o'clock
and Were brought to the police station
to await trial.
They gave their names as John Har-
rison, "a years old, of Whiting and
Steve Morris. 22 years old. They had
three chickens in all. two of them were
dead and they looked as IL their necks
had been wrung. The other spent the
night in the hobo room.
They were not common chickens but
looked as if they might be valuable
lighting cocks, as the one that was
alive had large spurs on him and minus
most of his feathers.
The men claimed they got the chick
ems at South Chicago, and when caught
were thought to have been headed to-
wards Hammond The police think they
have part of the thieves that have been
stealing chickens in Hammond for the
past month
The trial has been set for tonight.

Hen Murders Chick
Kills One Of Her Brood
Because It Is a Freak.

That the animal instinct abhors
freaks of nature and that this sense
is apparently developed more than the
maternal feeling which is generally
one of the strongest was demonstrated
yesterday in Hammond by clucking
hen who deliberately murdered one of
her brood apparently because it was a
freak.
The little chick. which was but day
old. came out of the she'll with four
well developed legs and used all four
of them very readily. The brood is
owned by Mrs. Thomas Thompson of Sc
Calumet avenue. She had noticed that
one of the chicks was a freak and
that its chances to live were good. Yes
terday afternoon when she happened to
go into the yard she saw the mother
hen pecking her chick to death. Mrs.
Thompson rescued the victim, but too
late, for it died an hour later.

GRAFT EXPOSE IS
GETTING RIDICULOUS

Those who have been waiting anxf-
ousiy for the denoument in the
West Hammond graft expose by Miss
Virginia Brooks have been disappoint-
ed. Instead of having the alleged ex-
pose lead up to climax it has appar-
emily lead up to anti-climax and is
beginning to appear ridiculous
For instance in the last issue of The
Searchlight the whole chapter in the
graft expose was devoted to the fact
that some of the village stationery was
used for other purposes by the village
officials
This may be an offense punishable by
law. but it will be difficult task to
interest the citizens of West Hammond
in reform movement that has for its
object the prevention of the use of viii
Iage stationery by the officials of the
village for purposes other than those
stipulated by law.
Othern than occasional fling at the
dives in West Hammond, there was
very little of interest in this week $
