POLITICAL GOSSIP AS It IS
FOUND ON THE Street OF CITY

That Judge Lawrence Becker of
Hammond would again enter the politi-
cal arena for the Hammond mayoralty
was a rumor that was afioat several
days ago, but which has since then
been killed off That the rumor was
abroad in political circles is fact,
but men who are close to the former
mayor say that he is not encouraging
the idea. nor taking 1t seriously.
The Hammond political situation for
the fall campaign is such at the pres
ent time that it can be twisted by
dopsters to suit the needs OF any candi-
dae who may be a favorite.
Take the case of Judge Becker. for
instance. For him il was said that he
would have a better chance to be re-
elected mayor of the city of Hammond
than Judge OF the superior court. he

SENT TO
PEN
VIM. Stone Of East
Chicago Is Found
Guilty Of Black
Crime.
Especial to THE T1MEsl

Crown Point. Ind. March 13-wfI-
liam Stone 90 years of age, who lived
in East Chicago. has been sentenced
to the penitentiary at Michigan City
for from two to fourteen years on the
charge of being accessory before
the fact In the mistreating Of Cora
Shipcynska, 16-year-old East Chi
cago girl, by Thomas Cochran
Cochran was permitted to plead
guilty to a minor offense and was SEN
fenced to the county Jail for 80 days
and fined 500 on the charge of con-
tributing to the delinquency of a mi
nor.
1t is believed that Stone will never
leave the penitentiary and that the
sentence imposed upon him yesterday
is practically for life. There is lit
tie sympathy for him though, as he
has been guilty of other revolving
crimes.
The case against Stone had proceed
ed to the point where the state had
put the prosecuting witness on the
stand. Her testimony and that of
Thomas Cochran was so convincing
that Stone pleaded guilty. This is the
fifth conviction In Lake county in a
month on the charge of mistreating
girls, and Prosecutor Patterson han
died four of the convictions.

refuse to sign the bill and that he
had stated that 1t would be vetoed.

FIRST GARY
MAYORALTY PRIMARY

At a meeting of the Fifth Ward Citi-
zens' club held at Twenty-first avenue
and South Washington street last
night, arrangements were made to call
a general mass meeting within a short
time to name a mayor and other can
didates on the citizens (Castleman's
ticket).
1t is probable that the selection will
be determined by a primary. but there
is some talk for nominations being
made at a general mass meeting.
One of the features of the day is the
way Mayor Knots and ex-Alderman
Castleman are trying to shift the
blame for the present perilous position
of the 1853 saloonmen Each is trying
to blame the other and friends of the
mayor are also trying to make Gov.
