MUSICIANS TO HEAR
ARGUMENTS MONDAY

Albert Gehring, secretary of the Mu
sicians' union who was referred to by
George Green, leader of the Orpheum
theatre orchestra in story in The
TIMES last Monday as having given his
oral permission to Mr.. Pitzer. the snare
drummer in the orchestara to play with
Green, said today that the statement
gives him credit for more authority
than he possesses or assumed in the
matter.
Mr.. Pitzer came to Hammond from
Florida and subsequently Joined the
Green orchestra. Under the rules of
the union he was required to turn in
his general union card for a local un-
ion card, says Mr. Gehring, and Mr..
Gehring. in compliance with the rules
of the union. issued it. as 1t is not
within his province to deny it as long
as Mr.. Pitzer held a general union
card
The issue of the controversy in which
Mr.. Pitzer and tTe local union are in
volved, is, according to Mr.. Gehring,
based on the fact whether or not Mr..
Pitzer came to Hammond from Florida
under contract or not. The question is
one for the union to decide and will be
taken up at the meeting next Monday
evening.

LAPORTE WORKER
ROBBED IN CAR
w. 3. Griffin Of Hammond
Touched on Interurban
For Pocketbook.

w. B. Griffin OF Hammond, who Is
working for ". w. Parker, also of
Hammond. on a grading contract at
Laporte, reached this city on the
o'clock Northern Indiana car on his
way home to spend Sunday with his
family, says the Michigan City Dis
patch. He had drawn 81 and spent
80 cents of it. leaving $3.50 in little
clasp purse. which he placed in his
left hip pocket. buttoning the flap
over the pocket. The car was crowded
and he stood up in the aisle all the
way over. There was more or less jost-
ling and crowding and he did not feel
the light fingered gent who unbut-
toned the flap and extracted the wal
let
When NJ Griffin reached the city
he got of at the South Shore station
and rushed inside to purchase a ticket
and catch the car that was ready to
pull out. He made a grab for his hip
pocket and then discovered that he had
been robbed
Mr. Griffin was squareiy up against
it. He had two copper pennies in an
other pocket. but nothing else of value
except a package of tobacco he had
purchased in Laporte. He appealed to
Captain Peters, but had no idea who
robbed him. The captain accompanied
him downtown and to the police sta
ton. Superintendent Haller called up
Mr.. Parker a. Hammond and related
the circumstances to him. After his
conversation with Mr.. Parker the
chief gave Griffin dollar to pay his
fare home, and he departed on a later
car Last evening on his way back
to Laporte he reimbursed Chief Hal
Ter with a check for the dollar. to-

WIFI EBEAIERS GET
THEIRS IN COUR 7
Brutality of Two Hammond
Men to Their Wives Is
Brought Out.

The way of the transgressor is hard.
at least. that is what George Pator of
East Hammond thought yesterday
afternoon when he was found guilty on
two charges In Judge Prest's court and
yesterday afternoon was taken to
Crown Point in default of payment.
Pator's arrest was made yesterday
morning by Constable Phelps, his wife
charging that her husband came home
in an intoxicated condition and brutal
~ struck her<in the face with his fist.
His trial came up before Judge Prest
yesterday afternoon. Two charges
were filed against Pator, one for wife
beating and another for drunkenness.
In each case. he~was as~found~ xaiittx r4-
cefving fine Amounting to $3.50. I'm
able to pay Pator was taken to Crown
Point, where he will spend the next
81 days and half with sheriff Grant.
When the fact was brought out that
Pator had been arrested on several 9TH
er occasions for drunkenness and beat
ing his wife, things looked pretty blue
for the wife-beater Evidently 1t did
little good to give him a light fine. and
it was thought best to send him to
Crown Point. where he can do no more
harm for 81 days at least.
Frank Weimand, another wife -beater
of the same caliber as Pator, came to
grief in Judge Prest's court Monday,
when he was fined 81 and costs for as
saulting his wife The fine was paid
but Weimand was not satisfied and
went home the second time where he
brutally attacked his wife.
In making his arrest Weimand
fought the officers like mad man and
il required about five policemen and
the auto patrol to take him to the sta
tion. Following his arrest his case was
taken before Judge Prest, where he
was placed under $500 peace bonds.

1t will thus be seen that Mr. Nc

ability TO judge men and he has great
tact. These are the qualifications
which fit him for his present position.
