plorable frequency, until the name of

Justice is concerned.
1T seems to me the province OF this
board is to rectify as far as possible
this deplorable condition in that coun-
ty. You are far arsremoved. and not SUBJ
ject to the influences or the county
You ought TO sit as a board prepared

The board received a petition for the
release of Bernard F'riedman who was
sentenced to the state prison from
Lake county May %. OF last year. on
conviction OF completely in jeweIry
thefts. The petition said that former
friends of Friedman. out of a. spirit
of revenge. swore falsely against him.
and that an attorneys negligence in
refuting tho testimony was responsible
for his being sentenced.
The court gave Friedman thirty days
after conviction to produce evidence Of
an alihi before the court would pro-
nounce sentence. The evidences IL was

THE CROCUSES
ARE CROAKING

Miss Spring with a dreadful cold
and red nose arrived in a bob
sled yesterday afternoon at exact
" 5:29:45, the official time SET
With her were two areh-villains
Old Man Boreas and his pal Jack
Frost. Poor Miss Spring was
wrapped in her heaviest winter
furs, she wore her heavy ones and
was somewhat frost bitten, having
come in on a blizzard from the
north which travelled with win1
at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
Attempts to arrest Boreas and his
villainous pal j. Frost on charge
of abduction will be made today.
The temperature fell thirty
eight degrees from the highest
point on Tuesday to fourteen de-
grees above zero last night With
the exception Of one the blizzard
was the worst this winter. An av-
erage of four inches of snow fell.
but in many places it drifted to a
depth of several feet.
Fortunately the. blizzard did not
last long enough TO tie up traffic
all together Street cars and pass
enger trains were somewhat de-
layed. but the regular schedules
could be resumed again this morn
ing.

little trouble owing to the storm,

WHERE WILL
CO. BUILD
THE DEPOT?
Pennsylvania Railroad Will
Put Up S1OO, 900 Structure
in Gary as Soon as it De-
termines Future Center of
Population.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is ready
and anxious to build fine passenger
station in Gary but it is holding off for
the reason that it does not know where
to build it
Where is the center of population of
Gary to be- That is the question that
is agitating the officials of the railroad
A depot such as the Pennsylvania rail-
road plans to build in Gary would cost
100000 and would be intended to serve
the city for the next 25 years.
If that depot should be built on
South Broadway and the city should
develop to the eastward or to the west
ward then the building would be in an
out of the way place and the expendi-
ture would not be warranted.
1t is a known fact that there are
three locations under consideration.
One is at the Broadway crossin. anoth-
er is at Tolleston and the third is at
Ambridge. All three of these locations
are said to be equally accessible.
1t is just about far from the
corners of Fifth avenue and Broadway
