ARRESTED

On a charge or QSSerIlOR from the
United States army. a man claimed to
be James Dixon, alias DAILY was ar
rested in East Chicago yesterday by
Constable Victor MADISON. There are
also weird stories afioat that the man
is also wanted for other crimes. rang
ing from assault and battery to
murder. Constable Nadasan said he
had heard that the man had killed a
woman in Pittsburg. but whether this
is more than a rumor, he was not pre-
pared to say.

those with whom he had acquaintance
in this city was detective in the
employ of the Pennsylvania railroad
company and had been in East Chicago
only about two weeks. having taken a
room in Olcott avenue between Chicago
avenue and One Hundred and Forty
eighth street
Yesterday afternoon detective from

rest Dixon. He had no authority to
make the arrest in Indiana however.
SO Nadasan accompanied him to the
place where Dixon was rooming and
made the arrest for the Chicago officer
at Z o'clock last evening.
The man. who is said to be married.
and whose wife paid him visit of a
couple OF days recently, denied that
he was the man wanted and claimed
a case of mistaken identity. He was
taken back to Chicago on the Penn
sylvania train.
Mr. Ndasan who made the arrest.
until Monday was merely deputy
constable. On that day however ac-
companied by Dell Funkhouser he
went to Crown Point where he was
appointed by the county commission

John Eberle of Crown Point,
and Relative Hurled
Out of Carriage.
Especial to THE TrMEs.)

Crown Point, Ind. April 21.---John
Eberle, a well known farmer residing
IN the vicinity of Crown Point was
quite seriously injured on Saturday
afternoon in a runaway accident and
for some time his life was despaired
of. He had driven to the Erie station
and accompanied by his father in law
from Chicago was about to return
when the team he was driving became
frightened and unmanageably, starting
at a mad pace down Foote street. Mr..
Eberle was thrown out and became
entangled in the wheels of the wagon
they passing over his head. He was
picked up unconscious and it was some
time before he revived. Medical at
tention was called and it was found

of the rig but suffered no serious in

BURNS GETTING
READY FOR DEFENSE
Desperate Insists That His
Wife Tried to Kill
Him, Too.

Seeing his chances for recovery i'm
prove. Hugh Burns, who terrorized the
town of Schneider, week ago today.
Following a futile attempt TO assassin
ate his wife, is beginning to look for
ward to the legal defense that he will
have to make. For several days now
Burns has maintained that his wife
tried to kill him on Monday night. He
says that she, hoo, had revolver and
that she fired two bullets at him, both
of which took effect in his chest
One of the bullets has been ex-
tracted. He said that his wife used
steel-capped bullets in her gun, and
the bullet which was found proved to
be such.
This so far is the only circumstantial
evidence on which his charge is based.
but Schneider people say that his wife
had no gun. and that he got the bullet
from one of the half dozen of guns that
were aimed at him by the Schneider
citizens when they cornered him in the
station.

SHALL {. CHICAGO
HAVE COMMANDARY?
Question of Interest to Ma
sonic Fraterity To Be
Decided Tonight.

A question of Importance to all mem
bers of the Masonic fraternity in the
Calumet region is to be decided this
evening at the meeting of the Ham
mond Commandary. The question be-
fore the house will be whether the
Hammond Commandary will give its
consent to the East Chicago contingent
to withdraw so that the latter can es-
tablish its Commentary at home The
question arises out of the fact that
East Chicago Masons now boast of a
temple OF their own and that conse-
quently they want to use it for all their
own and that consequently they want
doings.
About a year ago the Gary wing of
the Hammond Commandary established
its own order in the Steel City. Should
the request of the Twin City Knight
Templars be granted, 1t would mean
that the Hammond Commandary would
lose about forty members The ques-
ton, while an important one, will be
decided in the light OF what is best for
the order
The order of Malta is to be conferred
upon fifteen candidates this evening

CENTRAL
IS FINED
IN COURT
Michigan Central Taxed By
Judge Anderson in Fed
eral Court for Rate Con-
cession to Chaplin & Co.,
of Hammond.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 2l-Tor
granting unlawful concessions in rates
to Chaplin & Co, Hammond and Mil
waukee hsipper of grains and grain
products, and for falsely billing ship
ments, the Michigan Central railway
was today fined $1,000 by Judge An
derson in federal court. The railroad
entered q plea of guilty to the two
indictments against 1t, q s2,5oo fine be-
ing the judgment in each case There
were fifteen counts In the indictments.
Chaplin & Co. also were indicted ut
the time the charges were
brought against the railway by the
federal grand jury In May. 1919. The
Chaplin case has not been tried yet.
The shipper is charged with receiving
unlawful concessions in rates.
Lower Than Published Rates,
The Michigan Central gave to this
company, which operates a large plant
at Hammond. lower rates than In the
published tariffs furnished to the in
terstate commerce commission. and
charged to other shippers. Greater
privileges in regard to milling in tran
sit were given Chaplin & Co, and in
order to make the rates appear to con-
form in the tariffs of the company, the
shipments of Chaplin & Co. were falsely
billed. the indictments setting forth
that the point set out in the bills as
the point at which the shipments orig
mated were not the true points of
origin.
The rate concessions charged in the
indictments total several hundred dol
lars on the shipments specified, the
total being far les than the amount Of
| fines imposed by Judge Anderson.
| The alleged violation OF TIE law by
the chapfff ijompany ~ merely teahni-
/ cal and the charges are to involved
that il is difficult TO irnpute guilty
knowledge on the part of the shippers
even if the railroad company itself
erred.
