The LAST
WARNING, =
SAYS CHIEF
n ~ II

Autoists that have been making a
practice of scorchins up and down the
streets of Hammond had better be-
ware
This is the statement that was Civ
en- out by Chief Austgen this morning.
He has instructed all his police force
to watch out for these speed fiends and
arrest the first offender they see and
they will be given fine that Will make
them think twice.
The chief stated that he is getting
tired of the public coming to him and
asking him to warn these speeders He
said they have no regard for the speed
limit and that there is certain class of
Hammond people who open up the gas
and put on the mufffer and don't seem
to care what chances they are taking.
He wants it known that this was the
last warning he would give out.

SCHEME
WAS CLEVER
WRINKLE

Everybody admits that the exhibition
of the harem skirt on a living model
in the window of the White store was
one of the most clever advertising
schemes that has ever been tried in
Hammond.
Saturday afternoon the crowds in
front of the White store were SO large
that it took two policemen to keep a
passage way on the sidewalk open. A
street car was stalled and it required
several minutes before the motorman
could force his way through.
The afternoon exhibition served the
purpose of advertising the one in the
evening. It was during the evening
performance that the crowds were the
largest.
The model did her work we'll, al
though she was a bit nervous at first.
1t was her duty to display the new
gown and the entire makeup a. advan-
tageously as possible and she did so.
This evening and every evening this
week. when the stores are open. there
will be another exhibition of this ia
nous skirt. Next Thursday afternoon
from until 4, there will be a reception
for ladies only on the second floor OF
the store. At this reception the haren
skirt will be fully explained and dem
onstrated.

ACCIDENT
ARISES FROM
CONFUSION

Speed beyond the limitations in the
city ordinance. driving on the wrong
side of the street and close quarters,
three factors most conducive to an acct
dent. were combined yesterday in an
accident near the corner of Holman
and Doty streets. which resulted in Sc
we're injuries to Olaf Langley, motor
cyclist of SO Douglas street.
Mr.. Langley, who is member of
the construction gang with the Z. S.
Metals Refinery company is able to be
up and around today, but is quite much
bruised. and has in addition two blue
eyes
Mr.. Langley admits having been on
the wrong side of the street. going
south on Holman street, and says he
was struck by A. E. Wilcox's machine,
which was going north. Mr.. Wilcox. on
the other hand. says that langley at
no time came in contact with his auto
mobile while he was passing between
the auto and the east curbing. He says
Langley struck the curb after he had
passed the automobile safely, and that
as q result he was pitched against a
| tree.
Mr.. Langley explained he was forced
onto the wrong side of the street by a
reckless motorcyclist, who came up from
I! behind and cut across into east Doty
street directly in front of him. thus
| forcing him to turn to his left too, tc
| save himself. He said he could not get
back TO the right side of the street be-
| fore he saw Mr. Wilcox's machine bear.

| Mr.. Wilcox said that he foresaw trou-
| BILE when he saw the motorcyclist or
the wrong side of the street and that HI
| Immediately shut down his machine
| without steering from his course. HI
| said he had his machine well under
control when Langley passed him
Mr.. Langley was picked up uncon

chine to a stop and went back for al
| inspection. When Langiey's friend.

MARSHAlL'S
BOOM CLEAR
SAILING

That in the appointment of Lawrence
Becker or Hammond the last straw has
been removed from Gov. Marshalrs path
for getting full delegation from In
diana for the presidential nomination
is the tenor of dispatch from Indi-
annapolis to the Cincinnati Enquire yes
terday. In part it says.
The voluntary retirement OF Taggart.

to have made it certain that the Gov

own party If he desire solid and en-
thusiastic delegation from this state.
one other disturbing factor was re-
moved when former Mayor Lawrence
Becker accepted the appointment as
Judge of the new Superior Court at
Hammond
Becker was rega rded as a bitter anti
Marshall 9nan. He was credited with
plans to elect anti-Marshall delegates
from the Tenth District.
Whatever supposed anti-Marshall elc
ments existed seem to have disappeared
1t is regarded as significant that there
is very little Harmon talk in Indiana
whereas few months ago there was
a lot.
1t is believed that the rumors and re-
ports coming from Columbus that Gov

There never was serious matter
that came so near being a comedy as
the trial of Henry Dorsey, colored.
charged with the murder of John
Brown, also colored. before Judge Law
renee Becker in the Lake superior court
this morning.
The comedy in the case resulted from
the fact that the defendant was repre-

Beau Brummel of Hammond. vino prac-
tices law in Hammond in the winter
and sells corn salve and plasters in the

OF course. 1t is a serious matter when

torneys rather looked for something
