HARLAN Ill
IN MICHIGAN,
SAYS WIFE
Mysterious Disappearance
of North Township Justice
of the Peace Is Partially
Cleared UP By His Wife,
Who Tells of His Illness.

For reasons not explained, the mem
bers of Justice =. C. Harlan's family at
551 Michigan avenue prefer to keep his
present whereabouts a secret. Mrs.
Harlan said to a TIMES reporter yes
terday her husband is i'll in a sani-
tarium in Michigan, and that she had
had a letter from him. She refused
however to divulge the name of his
present stopping place or to show the
letter. She said the only time she
did not know where he was, was when
he left the home of his sfster at De-
catur, ILL.,, until she received a letter
from him early this week from the
sanitarium.
Mr.. Harlan is ILL., said Mrs. Harlan
yesterday, land he needs the rest, and
do not see why should say where he
is stopping. I myself am sick and only
able to be up and around"
Mrs. Harlan admitted that she was
only complicating the mystery about
her husbands absence by refusing to
state the place of his present where
abouts. She said she was partially ac-
quainted with some of the talk about
the way some cases were being prose
cuted in Justice Harlans court She
was very positive however that if
there was something wrong about them
that it was not the fault of her hus
band.

Ten candidates were initiated in Orak
shrine last night and five shriners took
their demit to Orak from other shNnes
in the country. This makes total of
over 200 members in Orak shrine. and
assures it a position far from the bot
tom of the list of FIVE shrines in Indi-

The ceremonial was a success from
every point of view. and after the ban
quet had ended at o'clock in the
morning there was more enthusiasm
for Orak than ever before.
The banquet was served by Mrs. Mary
Epker, and those who have partaken
of other shrine banquets say that the
repast that was served last night at a
much reduced cost compares favorably
with that offered by high priced Chica-
go caterers.
A large number of the members of
the Blue lodge of the Masonic order
served the banquet. The guest of hon
or was Elias J. Jacoby OF Murat tenn
pie of Indianapolis, under which the

City in presenting the shrine souvenir
to Judge Homer Ansley of Gary.
The Judge in his jovial manner re-

existed between the two admitted that
Ainsele knew some things about him,
and stated that he knew some things
about Ansley. To square the matter he
said, that he would make a peace Of
