WILL LET GIBSON CASE
PROCEED REGULARLY
United States Willing to Allow
Cuba to See That Full
Justice Is Done.

Ample apologies have been made by
| Cuban officials. from the president down.
| for the assault by the Journalist Maza
upon Hugh Gibson, American charge OF
| legation at Havana, and the State De
partment here has concluded to let the
case proceed in the regular way. l. is
willing to afford the Cuban government
opportunity to see tnat full justice is done
Mr.. Gibson.
Officials here privately believe the legal
proceedings against Mr.. Gibson's assail-
ant have not been characterized by that
spirit of energy and determination TO Sc
cure prompt court action that was To be
expected. They realize. however. that
the proper legal formal ties having been
observed in MaZas arrest and release on
bail. it would only be proper TO afford the
Cuban court fair opportunity to ad-
minister the law.
Severe Penalty Prescribed.
The penalty prescribed by the old Span
ish law, still in force in Cuba is severe
in such cases. providing a maximum inn
prisonment of three wears As the case
against MaZa appears to admit of no con
tradiction as to the facts of the assault. il
is assumed that in the end he will receive
the proper punishment. The annoying
feature is that under the Spanish legal
practice it is possible to drag out the pro-
ceedings TO an indefinite length, unless
the Cuban executive himself should de-
mand speedy action by the judiciary.
While the bitter attacks by certain
Cuban newspapers upon the American
charge have not Yet been officially re-
ported to the State Department, IT j.
possible that when this subject is brought
to it's attention officially prosecution will
be begun in Havana against some OF
these offending newspapers under the
criminal libel laws.

LIGHTNING DOES
Dam AGE IN HAMMOND
Fierce Storm Is Accom-
panied by Terrific Down
pour Of Rain.

An electrical storm accompanied by
a heavy rainfall late Saturday after
noon. during which the lightning
struck twice in Hammond. bringing
out the fire departments.
Departments No. 1 and were called
to the Richert home, 1146 Harrison
avenue, south of Conkey avenue. The
departments found little to do there
was no fire, a so-called cold bolt''
having struck the house. The damage
caused was considerable, as the bolt
struck the roof on the west side and
shot out on the east side. Practically
every two by four scantling in the roof
was broken. The call came to the fire
her three children were at home at the
time and were very much frightened.
They were uninjured.
At 5:35 bolt struck the American
Fertilizing plant. which has its factory
ias the old carshors building ee the q
H. Hammond Company. Fire depart-
ment No. 8 responded, but found little
to do upon its arrival, the fire had
already been subdued by the bucket
brigade which had been organized.
The electrical storm ragged for about
a half hour. During this time many
telephones were put out of commission
Rain fell in torrents. and brought re-
lief from the sweltering heat.
More rain fell on Saturday night, and
yesterday. From reports that are made
wide territory was served by the
rainfall.

PROMISE

Great progress is being made in the
development of two new factory dis
tricts in Hammond. The one is to be
north and the other is to be south Of
the Gibson yards.
of the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad
made an inspection OF the proposed dis
tricts. and under certain circumstances
the necessary side tracks will be built
1t is necessary for the property own
ers to provide the right of way in most
instances aEder to haze the track
built for railroads do not take readily
to development projects.
On the south side OF the Gibson yards
there will be no difficulty in getting a
right of way for the reason that the
property Is held in few hands and the
owners OF it realize the benefit that
will accrue from having the best of
freight facilities.
On the north side of the yards, how
ever, the property is held in a number
of hands. and the right of way is being
secured with difficulty. A number of
other railroad development projects are
under consideration by the Indiana
Harbor Belt railroad and promise an
early consummation
George Hannauer, who is being given
a free hand in these matters. is so well
acquainted with the needs of the region
and is so thoroughly imbued with the
freight development possibilities OF
this territory that great progress is be-
Ing made.

ICE COMPANY IS
CRITICIZED NOM
Customers Charge That
They Were Discrimi
mated Against.

Charges of discrimination by the
Hamond Pure Ice Company, against
private consumers are being made.
particularly by residents in the east
part of the city. They say that the
business houses are given first con-
sideration to the exclusion of the prf-
vate consumers and that this treatment
is all the more conspicuous on Satur-
days. Last Saturday people along a
number of streets did not see an ice
wagon.
While these complaints are being
made 1t is not thought that much can
be done to force the company to rem
edy the situation. It says that 1t is do
ing all in its power to reach its GUS
toners, and that on particularly hot
days like last Saturday, when there is
demand for much ice. the customers
with whim 1t has contracts must be
served first.
In answer to this IT is argued, how
ever that the company is In a position
to buy ali the ice it needs in addition
to what it manufactures and that al
| customers could be served if the com.
pany were less inclined to ignore the
! rights of the private consumer.

BUT IS
ATTEND
AFFAIR

Owing to the fact that Secretary j.
K. Stinson failed to send out notices
for the banquet of the Lake County
Bar Association, held in the Masonic
temple last Saturday evening there
were only Is members present.
The banquet was served by Mrs.
Mary Epker for IS a plate and those
who partok of it say that it was one of
the best spreads that have ever been
laid out in Hammond. Preparations
were made for about 40 persons.
The banquet was the occasion for
the annual election OF officers. D. ].
Moran was elected president and Erie
G. Sproat was selected secretary. John
F. Reilly was elected treasurer.
The announcement of the banquet
was made in court last Friday but this
was all the publicity it got. None OF
the newspapers were notified.
The guests of honor were to be the
four judges of the courts OF the county
but Judge Virgil S. Reiter was the only
one present Judge Becker was out OF
the city and Judges Kopelke and Nc
Mahon did not know about 1t. John F
Reilly was elected permanent chairman
of the banquet committee.
On the first Friday of the next term
of court. following the summer VEGA
ton, there will be what is to be known
as the lawyers institute to which the
lawyers of the county and the public
at large is to be invited.
At this institute papers will be reat
which will define the relation of tn.
lawyer to his client. Tt will attack tn.
unprofessional conduct of certain law
yers In the evening the members o.
the bar association only will be invited
to the banquet
At the banquet there were no Sc
speeches outside of that delivered b,
Judge Virgil S. Reiter. The discussion
of the affairs of the association wa.
entirely informal.

LIGHTING
SYSTEM
NEEDED

Another effort is to be made to bring
the State street sidewalk widening
project to a focus and IL possible, to
get the ornamental street lighting sys-
tenn under way.
E. c. Minas appeared before the
board of public works this morning to
see what could be done in the way of
establishing new building inc
State street, which. he says. is worth
while considering now that he is re-
modelling the front of his entire store
building, Inasmuch as the present front
is to be taken down, Mr.. Minas says 1t
would be possible for him to cut OF two
feet of his frontage. although this
would entail material change in his
original plans. The big store already
stands two feet away from the curb
line. but in the interests of the whole
street and store, Mr.. Mfinas said he
would be willing to give up another
two feet. provided the new building line
ordinance would be so drafted that all
new buildings would be set back at
least feet from the present line, and
that later on the buildings already on
State street in the event their fronts
are re-modeled would also given up
two feet of their frontage. These plans
were considered feasible, but inasmuch
as they give little promise of Immediate
benefits. the sidewalk widening was
taken up again, and II was finally de-
cided that another effort should be
made along these lines. Accordingly
the board will adopt a confirmatory
resolution next Wedne sday and If the
number of demonstrators is not larger
| than the number of petitioners the
board will order the sidewalks widened
! two feet on each side Only. the resi-
dent property owners in the block
where the sidewalks are to be widened
have a vote in the matter.
Urges Improved Lighting system.
| Mr.. Minas also raised the question
| again of installing the ornamental
street lighting system. The board said
! that owing to the Injunction that is
pending against the city in the United
States supreme court, which enjofns the
city from entering into contract with
any other company appearing as a COM
petitor of the Northern Indiana Gas
Electric company in the bidding, and
the fact that the improved system
| would cost the city ten times what il
pays now makes the question hard one
to dispose of at the present time Mr.
Minas, however. said that he was very
! anxious to get the ornamental systen
! installed even if it would cost hin
double the estimated cost. He said the
conduits should be laid al the time tn,
. sidewalks are widened and argued the
business men in the district should a
/ least be given the permission to pro-
ceed if they were willing TO pay for the
posts. the conduits and the juice.

at that time. The preliminaries will
then be gotten out of the way so that
the work of construction on the bridge
can begin the first thing in the spring.
The bridge should be ready for use
