BECKER PLAYS
CRUEL JOKE.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL

Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 1s-Mayor
Lawrence Becker OF Hammond played
a cruel joke on Mayor Knots of Gary.
while the two were lobbying for rival
court bills at the state house. Becker
wants two more superior court judges
for Hammond and Knots wants a su-
perior court at Gary.
Knots was handing out some printed
cards showing the reasons why Gary
ought to have a court He was work
ing industriously at the distribution
when Becker came along and had a
look at one of the cards. He noticed
that 1t did not bear the union printers
label. For all that you could tell from
looking at it the card might have been
printed in non union shop. Becker
called the attention of some of the
members to this fact and the word
reached Knots that Becker was doing
so
Knots said things. He couldn't tell
at first whether Becker was joking
with him or whether he was in earnest
and II is still a question.

Indiana Harbor. Jan. 1s.-The death

revealed a very complicated state of

like fiction than story OF real life.
The romantic touch is given by the

lover of whom she was very fond. In

to be one of the best entertainments
ever given there. Th only regrttabI
feature about the whole affair was
that Rev. E. F. Barrett, who had made
the entertainment a success, was una
BILE to be present, on account of the
death of his brother. Under normal
circumstances it is hazardous to at
tempt to distribute the garlands and
laurels, especially when every indi-

in this instance it is but voicing the
general sentiment that an extra meas
ure of praise should be meted out to

Mason, who appeared in stellar roles.
All Deserve Praise.
Standing room in the hall was at
premium and this despite the fact that
a matinee performance had been given
last Sunday. In addition to the actors
who acquitted themselves so masterful-
