GREAT INCREASE NOTED
IN COURT BUSINESS

That the location Of the new Lake
superior courts in Hammond has re-
suited in the transaction of great
deal more business there than ever be-
fore ish shown by the number of cases
that have been filed before and after
Hammond got It's extra judges.
In the five weeks since Governor
Marshall signed the Hammond bill, lao
cases have been filed in Hammond and
the filings have been at the rate of IS
week. This indicates an average
weekly increase of 40 per cent
In the thirteen weeks preceding the
signing Of the Hammond bill by the
governor. there were $50 cases filed.
and the filings were at the rate of only
20 a week.
This may be accounted for by the
fact that while the court fight was on
the Gary attorneys made it a practice
to file their cases at Crown Point so
that Hammond could not claim that it
was getting so large per cent of the
business. 1t is an interesting fact that
the T.000-mark was reached Dec. IL
and that the 400 mark was reached
today.

ARE IN BIG
DILEMMA

The attorneys of the Lake County
bar are in terrible dilemma as a re-
suit of the fact that all three of the
Lake Superior courts in Hammond will
take up the trial of civil court cases
next Monday.
1t does not take nearly as long to
try a civil court case as 1t does a civil
jury case aid the large number OF
cases that each law firm is compelled to
look after makes the onfusion all the
greater.
One lawyer had four cases in Judge
Reiter's court and three cases in Judge
Becker's court on Tuesdays oall and he
said that he had not yet seen the set
tings in Judge Kopelke's court.
Judge Reiter was asked this morning
what the lawyers would do where they
have cases in all three of the courts on
the same day. The Judge replied that
the attorneys would have to get along
in the best possible way and that no
attorney who is trying case in one
court will be defaulted or forced to
trial in another court.

Frank Dudley was easily the star of

the leading role in the play, and while
Cora Belle Bonnie Mrs. Frank Dudley
played her part well she did not have
the opportunity to show her talent that
was offered to Frank Dudley, being
more suited to the more serious acting
roles.

Dudley plays the leading part.

His talent is so diversified that he can
take any role and make it into a star
part.

the principal champions of improving
the street, while ]. M. Lautman of
Michigan City and Capt. Fred Rimbach
voiced their sentiments as non-resi-
dents. Messrs. Schroeder and e--,
said that experience had convinced that
the street improvement would enhance
the value of the property, while the
non-residents argued that the present
value of the property would not stand
the additional expense of a pavement
just now, and that the times and in
dustrial conditions were such as to
warrant delay of year or two. Ac-
cording to the law the resident prop
erty owners have the first right to be
heard, and this they asserted this morn
ing on the ground that most OF the
resident property owners were for the
pavement.
May Reseind shemeld Ave. Action.
The matter of the Shef1ield avenue
pavement and sidewalk was laid over
until next Monday and all action will
in all probability be rescinded in order
to make the sidewalk and the street
paving improvements two sepa rate ac-
lions. The original petition asked for

accordingly the city engineer drew
contract, and the board asked for bids
accordingly
Under this arrangement the cost for
the sidewalk fill would have been
spread on all the assessments, but some
of the property owners objected to this
on the ground that they already have
made their fill and that accordingly
they should not be taxed to help make
their neighbors fill. There is also a
disposition among some of the proper
ty owners to build their sidewalks by
private contract. The proposed inn
provement on Sheffield avenue extends
from Gostlin street to Hoffman street,
and on the latter street from Sheffield
avenue to Holman street.
In order that there may be a
thorough understanding between the
board and the Chicago avenue property
owners and Furthermore to avoid delay
the board today announced that I
would meet the property owners on
next Friday eevning at the city hall
to discussi the kind of pavement de-
sired on Chicago avenue In addition to
what the county is putting in. and the
width of this proposed pavement The
meeting will be held al eight O'Clock.
The petition for the improvement was
placed on file this morning.

ABlEMAN CASE LEADS
10 IMPORTANT SUIT

The case of Sam Abelman VS.. otto
Haehnel, administrator of the estate
of Michael Guenther, is developing into
quite a lawsuit. 1t involves notes to
the value of about $500.
The plaintiff claims that the money
is due Abeiman on contract which
he entered into with Mike Guenther
providing that Ableman was to get ev
-erything above $50 an acre for the
land which Guenther had for sale.
Ableman claims that under the terms
of this contract he sold the land to
John Gavit for $500. Later Guenther
died and Alderman now sues for his
claim under this contract.
The attorneys for the defense claim
that Alderman was the agent for Guen-
