HUNGRY
Hammond Man, Who AS

from the National Capital
at Washington.

Z. B. Silver of Hammond, who is one
of the clean-cut deserving aspirants
for the appointment of revenue collec-
tor from this district, is still await
ing further developments. The internal
avenue collectodrships are all up in
the air and the faithful are going hun
CRY. Word comes from Washington
that If collectors of internal revenue
are ever to be appointed for the state
of Indiana it begins to look as If Major
Byford E. Long and Claude Bowers will
have to get together and select the
men to fill the offices.
This pleasantly. perpetrated recently
by a disinterested onlooker who is
watching the patronage game. is get

United States capitol. Major ,.ong is
Senator Shively's secretary He is as
diplomatic as Lord Chesterfield. Claude
Bowers is secretary to Senator Kern
He is keenwitted. but tractable.
There is strong impression in
Washington that If Long anG Bowers
were turned loose they would be able
pointments that have so long been
hanging fire, including the two collec-
torships Of internal ravenue.
In the opinion of the office seekers it
is a burning shame that Elam Neal
and Charles G. Covert should go on
drawing the good money which ought
to be enjoyed by democrats. 1t seems
almost crime that the fat stipends
paid to revenue collectors should jingle

publicans like Neal and Covert. rev.

tenure. He can be bounced" whenever
the president says the word. There

President Wilson could not have got

both Revenue collectors hold office al
the pleasure of the president.

the thoug ghtiessness of the management

TRIED TO SUICIDE.

An attempt which Thomas Bobula
of Burnham, ILL.,, made to commit sui
eide early yesterday morning, nearly
resulted fatally when he swallowed a
quantity of poison and climbed back
into bed to await the end. When
found a short time later. he was in
dying condition and but for the
timely assistance of physicians would
have died
A room mate, whose name could not
be learned. was not aware of Bobula' s
suicidal intent until he was awakened.
He hurriedly dressed and summoned
aid and according to reports has not
been seen or heard of since. Bobula
was rushed to ST. Margaret's hospital
in an autmobile where today he is get
ting along as nicely as can be ex-
pected. 1t is thought that he will live.
Peculiar circumstances exist in the
case and authorities cannot understand
why Bobula's roommate should disap-
pear. What form of poison Bobula is
supposed to have taken has not been
definitely decided, although it is
thought that it was some form of opi-
um. An investigation is being made
and developments are expected to-
morrow.

Elgfn. Ill, May 5.-With the continu~

rested Monday at Hammond, for deser-
ton five years ago of his wife and
babies here, Assistant States Attorney
Phillips announced this morning that
the case would go before the May

AS the case is one involving a fine

the next term, unless a delay is ask ed

HAMMOND GIRL
CREATES A STIR
Falls Asleep on Train and
Police Put In Some Busy
: Hours.

Hazel Breen had the police depart
ment of Chicago on tiptoe Saturday
evening. She lives at 103 West State
street in Hammond and with ten other
Sunday school girls under the chaper-
onage of DIR. w. n. Martin. dean of the
Lincoln Jefferson Law School and his
daughter, Miss Gladys. visited the
World in Chicago.
Just after viewing the exhibition
Hazel became sleepy and so she curled
up in one corner of South Side elevat-
the car at the La Sale street railway
station Hazel became a parsonage.
DIR. Martin called the roll of his
charges as he. boarded the train for
Hammond at five o'clock. He found
Hazel missing saw the balance of his
human cargo deposited in Hammond
and returned to Chicago.
Every policeman in Chicago was
notified to be on the lookout for Hazel,
when DIR. Martin received a telephone
call from the girls mother that she
had arrived safely. In telling her
story Hazel said:
II fell asleep on the elevated train.
A guard awakened me and told me that
/ had been around the loop. / told him
where / lived and he let me ride until
we came to an electric car, which
/ was so sleepy. I'm sorry / caused so
much worry. Every one was kind to
me and helped me get home"

ALL IN FAVOR
WILL PLEASE
SAY Aye

At last property owners favoring the
deep sewer project nave decided to
take hand in the campaign which
has been waged back and forth re-
garding the city wide Improvement,
and meeting of all those favoring
the project has been called for We'd
nesday evening to be held in the Lin
coin school.
The antis both on the north and
south side of the river also have meet
ings scheduled. the anti-deep sever as
sociation, composed of property own
ers north of the river, meeting this
evening in the Irving school at 8
o'clock. while another meeting of op-
positionists south of the river is to
be held at Kahrs pavilion tomorrow
evening.
Nobody really knows at this time
just how strong the demonstrators are
numerically. Seventeen canvassers for
signatures have been out for nearly a
week getting signatures. Some have
turned in their books. the largest of
which contains 81 names Another has
about Atty names, but the others are
thought to have considerably fewer
names.
PROJECTIONS Out
The pro-deep sewer meeting has
been arranged by such men as Jacob
Apol1, manager of the Reid Murdoch
plant Cornelius Burns and other men
prominent in affairs on the north side.
While this meeting is intended pri-
marily to crystalize sentiment in fa-
vor of the deep sewer among property
owners on the north side, 1t is never
theless open to the opposition as we'll
said Mr.. Apoll to THE TIMES today. I'VE
want every property owner who favors
the deep sewer to come to the meet
ing on Wednesday night. This project
is of equal interest to the south side
property owners. and 1 hope to see
similar action taken there by the citi-
zens."
Already one or more petitions are
out and being signed by property own
ers favoring the deep sewer. and the
tematic campaign is started that the
opposition can be routed both in Its
numerical strength and in property
representation.
The deep sewer project is one of such
vital interest that many members OF

WEEK RICH IN
CENTRAL SCHOOL
DEVELOPMENTS

lis last week in regard to the supreme
court case. A supersedeas OF judgment
has been granted by the state supreme
court which virtually puts the case in
the status in the process of prepara-
ton, the case. becaus eof the prelimin-
ary steps that are required, is practice
ally in the United States supreme court
and a citation has already been issued
returnable thirty days after April 3oth.
This notice was served on the men,
bers of the citizens committee, Carl z.
Bauer. Frank O'Shea. George Dobin.
Charles Friedrich. Charles Lavene, H.
c. Miles and John Kane; the school
city of Hammond represented by the.
school board and Contractors Lewis &
Kitchen.
JURISDICTION FIRST QUESTION.
The fact that case is nled in the
federal supreme court does not neces-
sarily mean that 1t will be decided by
1t. This court is the Judge of It's own
Jurisdiction and 1t remains to be seen
whether 1t will assume Jurisdiction in
this case. The Indiana supreme court
in granting the petition for writ OF
error has by it's action acknowledged
that questions are involved which can
properly come before the United States
supreme court but no one can tell at
this time what the highest court In tho
land will do in the matter. The founda-
tion for the appeal is that the su-
preme court. through its Injunction
impaired a contract and rights which
are assured under the United States
constitution. 1t Is further alleged that
the Indiana supreme court erred when
| 1t held that the consent of the city
council and due public notice in let
ting the contract were required; fur
thermore, that II erred when 1t held
that the contract was in excess of the
per cent limit and that the sale OF the
land was held illegal.
