REJECTED ADVICE CAUSED
ALL MRS. WALKERS TROUBLES

IL Mrs. T. Grant Walker. formerly
Miss Betty Radcliffe, had taken the
advice of w. b. Allen, local manager
or the Prudential Life Insurance com
pany, her former employer, she would
perhaps not be the central figure In
a sensational alienation suit which has
attracted more than ordinary atten-
ton In Richmond the past week.
The day before her marriage. April
25th last. she notified Mr.. Allen that
she would be married the next day
and would not care to return to her
position after the honeymoon. She
said that the marriage would be a
surprise affair. so far as her family
was concerned.
On hearing this, Mr.. Allen advised
her strongly against such step, tell
ing her that the proper thing to do
would be to take her family into full
confidence and then be married at
home or at church. just as she chose.
His advice. however, fell on barren
ground
Yesterday. Mr.. Allen saw Mrs wal
ker for the first time since she left
his office. He came up to court just
before the morning session adjourned
and shook hands cordially with her.
expressing at the same time his sim
cere regret that her affairs had taken
such an unfortunate turn.
Mr.. Allen stated afterward that the
young woman was one of the most eff
Gent and capable stenographers he
had ever had in his office and II was
with great difficulty that her position
was filled after her departure.
And If anyone in court doubted that
she was hrst-rate typist their
doubts were dispelled when they saw
her operate the two machines yesterday
during the. trial with all the speed
and facility of an expert.

CLABBY TO
TRAVEL WITH
BIG STARS

Manager Hankenson of the Hammond
Theater announced this morning, that
a glittering array of pugilistic stars,
has been booked to appear here on the
evening of March IA. Among them will
be Jimmy Ciabby of Hammond who left
today to fill a week stheatrical engage
ment in a number of Ohio towns. The
star attraction will start it's tour this
week and will be on the road for nearly
II weeks.
In the aggregation will travel Johnny
Coulon, bantamweight champion. Luth-
er McCarty heavyweight champion and
when not otherwise engaged in active
only undefeated lightweight will ap-
pear before the public. Jimmy Clabby
of Hammond will fill the role as the
middleweight title holder. The show
at the Hammond theatre on the even
ing of March IA promises to prove a
novel entertainment and Manager
Hankenson is highly elated that he has
ben able to book the stellar attraction.
That ths-treat of seeing four such
regal knights of the squared circle in
action is appreciated by the promoters
of the country is proven by the many
demands for services of the combina-
ton Tt will be Impossible to fill all
the dates so places selected by Jack
Curley who is attending to the booking
OF the star aggregation can be consid-
cred lucky. Harry Frazee the famed
theatrical impresario and Billy McCar-
ney. the worlds most famous boxing
promoter, are launching the big athletic
combination.

HAMMOND BOWLERS
MAKE POOR SHOWING
The Alleys and the Compa-
ny in Toledo Too Fast
For Them.

Ned Nelson, Hammond's renowned
one-armed dodo artist, is one of the
men relied upon by pinmen to bring
back the lost honor of the Individual
championship to this city from the A.
b C. tournament in Toledo The Ham
mond pinmen who returned from To-
1edo last night state that the alleys are
very fast and in good shape This will
be great help to Nelson and proyid-
ing he does not run into a streak Of
bad luck he is more than likely to
hang up some high scores.
Nelson is a member of the o'Iearvs
of Chicago, and his sensational efforts
in past tournaments have made him
one of the most feared of Chicago
players. Nelson uses a wonderfully
effective dodo ball and his skill in con-
trolling 1t makes him one of the most
formidable men in the country on new
drives, while the absence of his left
wing seems rather more OF helm
than hindrance in his playing.
Nelson will not go on the drives in
the Ohio town for another week as
the O'Learys have secured a late date
The G. Longs returned last night and
according to reports they ran into a

COUNTRY CLUB GETS
new INSTRUCTOR
E. G. Garre, Chicago PROBES
sional, Engaged for the
Hammond Club.

Upon the reeomme ndation of the
sports and games committee of the
Hammond Country club. President A.
NJ. Turner yesterday signed contracts
with Il. c. Garre of Chicago to serve
the club as golf instructor for the 1913
golf season, beginning the LIST of next
month. At present Mr.. Care is indoor
golf and racquet instructor at the
Chicago Athletic club and one of the
coming professionals who will COM
mand attention in the future. Mr.
Care is pupil of Tom O'Neill the
famous Westward Ho professional
and recognized as the foremost golf
instructor in the west. He has acted
as assistant to Mr.. Mcneil for some
time. and last summer was profess
sfonal at the Danville GID Country
club. Mr. Care plays great game of
golf. His card on the local course the
first time he played around recently
showed a 4e, and on his next circuit he
brought in 43 DOGGY score. He is
remarkably accurate in his driving and
short-play. Local golfers who have
played with Mr.. Garre speak in high
est terms of his ability and the club
Is fortunate In securing him.

Street CAR
PEOPLE ARE
Numbered

Now that the Green Line Railway
company is preparing to assemble its
material in anticipation of the i'm
provement OF the Sheffield avenue
pavement this spring IL is having diff
ficulty to find a suitable storage yard.
Superintendent H. c. Green had fig
ured the use of the Swift & Co.'S
yard near the old G. H. Hammond Ice
house, all this property being now own
ed by the former company, but the
permission which was originally grant
ed has been withdrawn for some rea-
son. He already has several carloads
OF ties at the yard, but lacking the per-
mission from the Swift people to I'M
load them on their property. he Is at a
loss to know what to do with them.
The Green Line company has a yard of
its own just opposite the Swift prop
erty, which 1t could use by unloading
on the Swift property and transfer
ring the material across the street or
by extending the railroad tracks across
the street, but the Swift people are
seemingly obdurate in their stand Mr.
Green has been given to understand
that neither he nor his company are
to blame for this situation, but that a
third party with whom the Swift peo-
pie are unable to get together regard
ing the use OF the tracks which be-
long to the Indiana Harbor Belt, stands
in the way.
Obstruction Would BE Expensive.
To unload this material anywhere
else excepting in their own storage
yard or that of Swift & Co. would
mean big teaming expense to the
Green line which is altogether unwar-
ranted Mayor Smalley has taken the
matter up with the Swift people In be-
half OF the street car company, point
ing out to the former that their posi-
ton is liable to delay a much needed
Improvement which would benefit the
city Of Hammond generally, and their
property in particular. some of 1t

WORKING
HARD FOR
THE PRIZE

Three suit cases of coupons from a
certain Chicago paper were taken into
Chicago last night by II. w. Veach, the
father of Pulver yeach, a youth of Is
years who is making an effort to win a
house and lot to the person saving the
largest number of coupons.
Since the contest began Mr. veach
and his son have collected one and two
suit cases full of coupons week In
fact young yeach had card printed
in his fathers printing establishment
announcing his candidacy in the voting
contest
1t is understood that the result will
be announced next Saturday and young
Veach has high hopes of winning the
property. If he does not several
months work and large amount of
money will have been squandered in
the effort with no reward for what has
already been accomplished.
To give an idea of what little value
a coupon clipping, contest is to a news
paper as circulation project 1t is
known that thousands of papers were
bought, the coupons clipped and then
sold for old paper. The advertiser does
not get much from such circulation.

INTRODUCE
NEW REGULATIONS

Regulations affecting the South
Shore line, particularly to lights
and passenger stops. are to be intro
dueed in the Hammond city council
this evening. according to an
nouncement made by Councilman Mich
olas Lauer several days ago.
Councilman John Kane will very
likely ask for stricter enforcement
of the ordinance relative the display
of the license number on automobiles.
He says that many machine owners
are guilty of fragrant violations in this
respect and that because of this they
could easily speed away without re-
vealing their identity in case of an
accident.

Prospects for a baseball team In
Hammond this year. look very gloomy
at the present time Fans are on the
anxious seat and unless something is
done in the near future 1t will be the
first time in years that Hammond will
not be represented BY city team
Efforts are being made on the part of
number of prominent fans to stir up
some enthusiasm. Among the business
men, but so far little interest has been
developed.
According to a statement made by
President McAleer this morning there
will be no Northern Indiana League
this year and it is apparent that Ham
mond will not have a baseball team.
Another hindrance which confronts the
organizers of a team is the fact that
Hammond is without a baseball park
and all games would have to be played
out of the city. There is only one ray
of hope left as there has been some
talk of securing the Whiting baseball
park at Robertsdale and organizing
team.
