Will
celebrate
THE EVENT
Lake County Savings &
Trust Co., Whose Remark
able Success Is Note
worthy, Will Have Cele-
bration Lasting Month.

After ten years of signal success in
the banking business. due to the inau-
guration of the most approved financial
methods and carrying them out per-
sistently, the Lake County Savings 4
Trust Co. of Hammond will during the
month of January, 1913, celebrate its
tenth anniversary, and patrons of the
bank and it's friends are welcomed to
the institution during that month TO
witness the event.
Elaborate arrangements are being
made for the celebration whose physi-
cal aspect will be made spectacular by
the illumination OF the building on the
corner of State and Holman streets
with hundreds of electric lights
The Lake County Savings & Trust Co.
is one of Hammond's pioneer banking
institutions. 1t has had a remarkable
growth in it's life time from a very
small beginning to assets which now
total for over 100000 today
The bank now has built up a surplus
of $4,000. This, as has been pointed
out could have been used in paying
large dividends to stockholders or sal
aries to officers. but instead it has
been permitted to accumulate for the
benefit of patrons for the purpose of
guarding their deposits.
Certain set rules have always pre-
vailed at the Lake County Savings &
Trust Co. 1t has always been progress
sive, yet conservative in handling funds
entrusted to it for safe keeping. it has
always endeavored and succeeded in
serving its customers to the best ad-
vantage of ali concerned: it is so fitted
as to serve the small as we'll as the
large depositor, 1t is equipped to car
ry on a successful banking business in
every one of it's branches long as it
be done on a conservative basis.
During its entire existence 1t has
gone forward steadily, never single
step backward. 1t has been a keen
competitor and yet clean competitor.
The company's business akin to the
banking line has been just as phenom-
enally successful. 1t represents twen-
ty high class insurance companies and
its safety deposits vaults are largely
patronized by those in need of such
service.
Indeed the Lake County Savings &
Trust Co. has every reason to be proud
of its success as the people OF Ham,
mond have to be proud of it.

HAD PRACTICED
LAW IN CHICAGO
Judge Anderson Really
Finds no Evidence Against
Lake County Suspect.

Al u OAEAAAAIs
Indianapolis. Ind. Dee. 31.-While
sentencing the conspirators in the dyn-
a mite cases Judge Anderson, pointing
cut that he had never sent to prison a
man who he believed should not be
punished. directed Farrell to take his
seat again. Without pronouncing SEN
tence regarding Farrell, Judge Ander-
son called James Cooney, the Lake
county defendant, before him.
Cooney, it seems, practiced law In
Chicago for about ten years, and had
taken an oath to support the law. In
response to question from Judge An
derson, Cooney replied firmly that he
believed in the enforcement of the law.
The principal evidence against
Cooney was that of McManigal. who
said Cooney came to Lockport and tried
to get him to do a job Of dynamiting.
Cooney on the stand admitted that he
saw McManigal at Lockport, but said
he did not talk to him about dynamit-
ing. He had brought a witness who
saw McManigal and Cooney in sa-
loon. Mr.. Miller said that the witness
had really corroborated McManigal as
he said the two men had opportunity
for talking together.
Mr.. Miller also said some letters
passing between Hoclxin and McNa-
mara corroborated the theory that
Cocney was involved in the conspiracy.
Judge Anderson had Cooney take a
seat. and then called James Coughlin
of Chicago before him.

last night and was taken to the Ham
mond Central police station, where he

was told him.
Clabby has not been seen in Milwau-

AT the meeting of the Lake County
Bar association. President Dan Moran
presiding, the organization went on
record in favor of enlarging the num-

the present number, to ten. This prop

The committee on Judge kopelke' 5
proposed bill for reform in procedure
reported orally, and was continued to
make a written report Judge GeEett
is the chairman of this committee 1t
favored some of Judge Kopelke's pro-
posals and disapproved of others.
The attention of the association was
called to the unprofessional and uh-
ethical practice of some OF the lawyers
practicing in the Lake County courts,
the~charges against it being that they
represent loan sharks, ask for the
appointment of administrators sug-
gested by corporations. who are defend

HOWE GIVES SOME
REMARKABLE PICTURES
Entertainment at Hammond
Theater Deserved a
Packed House.

Some of the most wonderful moving
pictures were seen in Hammond last
night that could possibly be imagined.
The handful of people who saw the
new Lyman Howe moving pictures
were both amazed and delighted al the
novel and spectacular exhibition and
regretted that the Hammond theatre
was not packed with people to share
their unalloyed pleasure.
II was the second visit of Howe to
all The audiences seem to grow less
instead of larger. 1t is true that Man
ager Hankinson was given but few
hours notice of Mr.. Howe's coming and
was unable to get the date before the
people for any period of time. The
photographers and moving pictures
were extraordinary. The spectators
were able to see wondrous jelly fish
swimming in their native element. They
saw wild birds feeding their young.
They witnessed the escape of a lion
from a den; its attack on humans and
consequent killing. They gasped to see
structural iron workers fifty stories in
the air. walking across strips of steel
with the utmost nonchalence. These
and many other astounding pictures
made the evening an Incompatible one.
There Is only one Lyman Howe and
only one moving picture and that is
