a conference between Mullen. repre-
senting the Erickson crowd and Veil

MASONIC CHAPTER
Question Will Be Taken Up
at Important Meeting
Tonight.

The question of permitting the East
Chicago contingent of the Hammond
Chapter Il. A. NJ. to withdraw for the
purpose of organizing an East Chicago
lodge will be taken up this evening a
the regular meeting of the Hammond
Chapter. The question has been hang
ing fire for some time. the principal ar
gument of the East Chicagoans being
that a separate chapter would bring
q bout healthy growth there. Be-
cause of the distance and transpoFta-
tion facilities the attendance from East
Chicago is not as large as it might be
al the regular sessions. The final
adjudication OF the question rests with
the grand chapter Of the state. but in
matters of this kind it is usually guided
in the decision OF the majority Of the
parent lodge.
The East Chicago membership Of the
Hammond Chapter numbers about
thirty. while the entire membership in
the chapter is about two hundred.
There are three Chapters in Lake
county. one in Hammond. one in Crown
Point and third in Gary.

CORONER
GIVES VERDICT
Death of Popular East Chi
cagoan Results in Startling
Developments.

Sensational developments following
the death of Assistant Postmaster
Thomas Davis of East Chicago became
known in Hammond today and indl-
cate that his death was due to
carbolic acid poisoning and occurred
simultaneously with the visits of the
postoffice inspectors to the East Chi
cago office
FIRST REPORT HEART FAILURE
The first report given out was to
the effect that death was the result
of heart failure but investigation of
DR.. e. NJ. Shanklin of Hammond,
County Coroner is said to have de-
monstrated that death resulted from
carbolic acid taken with suicidal in
tent and that his demise was not due
to heart failure as at first given out.
VISITS OF INSPECTORS.
When the fact became known that
Davis committed suicide his death was
~ once associated with the visits OF
the postoffice inspectors. Coincidentiy
1t became known that a discrepancy of
= tsoo-flaa hesn found in Davis accounts.
and that these disclosures are expected
any time.
Whether or not this shortage will be
explained remains to be seen. An effort
was made TO keep these facts from the
public but they became public property
and IL was useless to attempt to con-
ceal them any longer.
WORKING FOR MONTHS.
The postal inspectors have been al
work in the East Chicago office for sew :
eral months and it is said that the evil
dence against Davis was becoming so
strong that in this extremity he took
his own life fearing the exposure that
was about TO break over his head.
In the meantime the friends and rei~-
tives of Mrs. Thomas Davis are very
much concerned over her physical con-
dition. It is believed that she is very
near nervous break down.

In fact 1t has become necessary to
use extreme caution in breaking the
news to her to prevent her from having
a nervous collapse. The friends of the
unfortunate woman are expressing
their deepest and heartfelt sympathy 8
She is left with one little girl Dorothy
aged two years. Mr. Davis was Noble
