SCH0TTLER
DANDER
Hammond Lawyer Who
Fought For National
Guard in Hammond, Sends
Peppery Letter to Adju-
tant- General.

If George w Mccoy, adjutant gen
eral for the state of Indiana. or the
members of a proposed National Guard
company in Hammond, thought an ef-
fective quietus had been placed on the
military spirit in Hammond they for
got to reckon with the belligerent spir-
1t of Attorney Edward Schottler of
Hammond. who has been most active
in getting a company for Hammond.
Recently Mr.. Schottler's attention
was called to a story in a Gary paper
which breathed optimism about having
a national guard company in Gary
When Mr.. Schottler came across this
news a year after he and his HAM
mond company had been turned down,
his .dander was up"
He reached for his trusty fountain
pen, and penned letter which had to
be mailed IN an asbestos envelope The
letter was as follows:
George W. Mccoy. Arjutant General.
State of Indiana Indianapolis
Sir: The Gary Daily Tribune of Feb.
18th, 1912. states that g. certain Mr.
Mclean was corresponding with you
with reference TO securing the loca-
tion of a company of militia at Gary
Fhis paper also stated you had prom
ised Gary the first vacancy which would
occur
We offered you a better company
than you have in the entire state serv-
ice. year ago. You saw fit to disre-
gard US here at Hammond. and under
circumstances which you will readily
recall.
If our only chance for a company
here lies in getting your scalp, say so.
We can get plenty of men to hold
down your job for consideration. but
good militia companies are so scarce at
this time. in this state, to be a posi-
tive novelty and really important
rs it to be peace or war?
(Signed) EDWARD SCHOTTLER,
Sergeant. 18th L. s. Cavalry. 1901 -o3''
The Adjutnnt's Answer.
To this Adjutant Mccoy answered:
"Sir-We have your favor of yester-
day. in further reference to company
in your city, and regret to see that
you are taking the matter so seriously.
AS we have advised you several Zines
heretofore, there are no vacancies in
| the guard and we will not be in a
position to organize any new company
unless the general assembly for the
state of Indiana sees fit to increase our
! annual appropriation. 1t takes every
! cent of the appropriation are get
ting now to support the guard as or
| ganized, and it would be out of the
/ question to increase the number OF
companies without a larger appropria-
/ ton.
We are certainly not accountable
| for what the Gary paper stated. We
/ get applications for companies very
! frequently. and, of course, they are
/ placed on file, for future reference
should the occasion arise. just as your
papers are. Yours very truly,
/ (Signed) GEO w. MCCOY,
/ The Adjutant General"
Change Is Demanded.
/ There the matter viii undoubtedly
rest. but Mr.. Schottler says he is con
| fident that some radical changes viii
be made by the next Legislature. and
| that he is looking toward Lake coun-
/, tvs representatives to be instrumental
| in bringing about the change. He say.
!! there is no excuse for Indiana havins
no national guard organized just a
well a one in Illinois.

Since 1894.

London. Excessive speed Ii held
responsible for the Titanic disaster in
the report of the British commission
of inquiry which was presented in
Scottish Drill Hall Tuesday j. Bruce
Ismay, managing director Of the White
Star Line, is absolved from blame for
jumping into a lifeboat and saving his
life while hundreds Of other passen-
gers went to their doom. There is no
censure of the conduct OF Captain
Smith, OF the lost liner. in the report.
In driving his ship at high speed
through the Ice region he was merely
following the general custom OF ship
masters, the report states.
Adverse criticism is visited upon
Captain Lord, of the Leyland liner
California, which might have saved
many il not all of the lives that were
lost, the commission says. Lord Mer-
sey presided when the committee was
called to order.
THE loss Of the Titanic was due
to a collision with an iceberg brought
about by the excessive speed at which
the ship was navigated," the report
says. sbut the ship was effectively
officered and was supplied with the
proper charts.

Last o. the old santee.

Washington, August a. Another
relic of the famous old wooden navy
OF the United States passed into
private hands, probably to be reduced
to junk, when the Navy Department
accepted the bid OF Joseph G. Hitner,
of Philadelphia, of $500 for the
Santee. She was an old sailing
frigate, laid down in 1920, and was
for nearly half century on duty at
the Naval Academy, where many adj
mirals and high ranking officers OF the
present Navy were confined on her
when she was the midshipmen's prison
ship.

soon became calm. Then the crowd
in court cheered the verdict and
surged about Mrs. Grace, many Of the
women weeping.
At last the deadly witeness Of Mrs.
Grace's face was relieved by a flush
and she began to smile. Then she
approached each Of the IL jurors and
gave them thanks.
Il felt like kissing and hugging you
all" she said. Il trusted you all the
time. know you would not believe
what they said about me-" Followed
by cheering throng, Mrs.Grace soon
left the courtroom and went to the
offices of her attorneys. There she
received telegram from her sister in
Philadelphia to the effect that Mrs.
Grace's little blind SON is i'll.
The verdict was generally expected.
1t was conceded that the state failed
to sustain the charge that Mrs. Grace
had drugged and shot her husband
and locked him In to die in order to
get $4,000 insurance on his life
Mrs. Graces statement had ire
mendous effect on the jury, and its
main statements were generally
credited, and especially those relating
to the large sums she had lavished on
Grace and his attentions to other
women.
