TO PROBE LUMBER TRUST
Said Investigation Will Begin Within
Few Weeks.


Philadelphia, April 1.-THE North
American prints the following dis
patch under a Washington date:
Investigation of the lumber trust by
federal grand jury will be started
within the next two or three weeks.
Every effort has been exerted by the
department of justice to keep the
plans of the government secret.
Enough has been learned from 9TH
er sources, however, to afford substan.
tial basis for the assertion that the
evidence already collected is deemed
sufficient for presentation to a grand
Jury with view to criminal proceed
ings against the corporations and indi-
viduals who compose the combinations
generally designated as the lumber
trust.

MISS BROOKS IS NOT
GOING TO DROP FIGHT
West Hammond Suffragette
Is Not Going to Yield,
Net She.

Well, l guess we are not going 10
drop the fight against the plan to make
West Hammond a city, said Miss Vlr-
ginia Brooks. indignant at the sug-
gestion. when seen in Hammond today.
I'VE realize we are going to have a
harder fight than ever, and we are GO
ing in to win. Figuratively speaking,
we are now buckling on our armor
and we are going to contest the cleo
tion at every STEP
Efforts are being made to discredit,'
said she, but we expected that. 1t
does not make any difference what peo-
pie say about and our work. we
are going right ahead to do what is
right"
Miss Brooks was the very picture or
defiance and indicated only too plainly
that she is going into the coming con-
test to win. She still believes that she
has a majority of the people of West
Hammond with her in the crusade she
is waging against the politicians.

TRACTION
PROMOTER
AGROUND
Eugene Purtelle Did Not
Schedule Northwestern In
diana Traction Co. as One
of His Assets; Might as
Well Kiss Yours Goodbye.

Eugene Purtelle. the bursted bubble
of Lake county finance, did not sched-
ule the Northwestern Indiana Traction
company one of his assets. The
story published in THE TIMES last
even evening caused a great sensation
all over northern Indiana.
There were a few people who. in
spite of the warnings that were issued
cs to the financial unreliability of Pur-
telle, believed in him and thought he
would be able to make a success of the
Northwestern Indiana Traction COM
pany.
These people have been disillusioned.
They now realize that what they have
invested in Northwestern Indiana Trac-
tion stock has been thrown to the
winds. Those who trusted Purtelle for
various sums ranging from $40 to sew
eral hundred have said Good bye" to
their hopes of being paid
1t is estimated that Purtelle hit Lake
county for between $4,000 and $685.
600 All that remains of his project is
a little grading and considerable do
mated right of way.
The story which appeared exclusively
in THE TIMES last evening was eagerly
read by the large number of stockhold-
ers over the county. 1t marked the
last chapter in the operations of a
financial adventurer.
1t is now expected that there will
be another meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Northwestern Indiana Trac-
tion company.
DR.. William d. Weis. who was ap-
pointed chairman of the stockholders
is now in Hot Springs, Ark, where he
will remain for several days longer A
meeting will probably not be called un

OTHER WOMAN LUREO
THIS man FROM WIFE
At Least That Is What Mrs.
H. E. Wright Says of
Her Husband.

Elsie L. Wright. through her attor-
neys Gavit and Hall, has begun di-
vorce proceedings against her husband,
Hoyt +. Wright. 1t is alleged in the
complaint that they were married Aug.
9, 1905. and separated Jan. Is. 1911.
They have lived in Whiting for the
past two years.
One of the most striking accusa-
tions in the complaint is that Wright
told his wife that, after meeting other
women, he could, have no further af-
lection for her
She charges that he has declared
his affection for other women that he
loves others more than herself and
that he refused to abandon the COM
pany of his other women friends.
She says that she was ready at all
times to forgive him providing he
would do right. but thar he persisted
in his attentions to other women. They
have no children and the plaintiff asks
that her maiden name, Elsie l. Wig
gins, be restored.

Right here is where the pathetic part
of the story commences. Johnson

able desire for a drappie. but he set

make short story long Mr. Johnson
had TO follow the same route that his
misguided friend Ffnlaysoon took. and
therefore it is but natural that he
should end in the same place-the
Hammond police station. 1t cost Mr.
Finlayson a dollar and costs to get out,

latter in order that he might catch ur
