DR.. Irwin IS
A LUCKY MAN

Especial Star Bulletin correspondencel
HILO, Hawaii, March 21.-While
DR.. Irwin was returninf home to Olaa
from the volcano, late Sunday night,
his automobile ran directly over the
body of man stretched out In the
road The doctor, just before passing
over the man, saw horse in the road
and when he footed his horn the
animal did not move, so he swerved
out to the side and as he did so, saw
the man before him. He applied the
brakes but was unable to stop until
after he had gone beyond the man.
AS soon as the car was stopped he ran
back to see how serious was the in
jury and found the man still lying
not aware of the danger through
which he had passed, as he was para
lyzed with liquor The automobile
had not even grazed the man as he
was reclining parallel with the road
and it had passed directly over him.
After much trouble the man was
aroused sufficiently to get him off
the road to sleep off his jag and prob
ably he has no recollections of the
incident or If he has, attributes it to
a booze dream.
Especial Star-Bulletin Corresuondencel
HILO, Hawaii, March 21-Directors
of the Hilo board of trade have ap-
pointed Attorney Harry Irwin to rep
resent the board and Hawaii and
Washington, during the proposed
sugar legislation, at the special ses-
sion of congress. which convenes on
April 1st. This action was taken at
a called meeting of the directors held
last Tuesday afternoon
The selection of Irwin is considered
wise one, as he is familiar with
conditions in Hawaii and has a large
acquaintance among the Democratic
members of congress. He is to leave
on the Mauna Kea for Honolulu to-
day and will sail from there on next
Saturday or Tuesday.

tory from the ships Of the fleet show
that the new gyro-compasses are ex-
ceedingly successful Reports have
recently been received from the Wyo.
ming, Arkansas, north Dakota and
Florida, showing that those ships hav-
ing the gyro-compasses are using that
compass for steering entirely, but
that for the present they check their
courses by the old magnetic COM
passes.
The reports also indicate that for
use in ordinary navigation in taking
bearings the new encompasses have
been great assistance.

REvERSES
REFEREES
DECISION

Judge A. B. Anderson's reversal of
Harry Sheridan, referee in bankruptcy
in John Browns claim against the
bankrupt Calumet Institute of Ham
mond in the federal court yesterday,
Will cut the returns of the other cred
itors of the institution to about five
cents on the dollar. Stockholders in
Hammond. East Chicago, Gary and
Crown Point won't be tickled with
this news
Referee Sheridan some time ago
ruled that the Brown claim of $500
should be allowed as a common claim
The evidence was to the effect that
the institute had narrowed s5,200 from
the Crown Point banker more than
four months prior to the schools bank
ruptcy, taking in return therefore a
second mortgage, which however was
not executed until few days after the
four months limit went into effect.
Had it been executed prior to the time
when the four months limit went in
to effect there could have been no
question about It's legality.
Having been ruled against the
Brown petition was taken up to Judge
Anderson for review and Judge An
derson yesterday held that where 1t
could be proven that the money had
been loaned more than four months
prior to the bankruptcy. and that the
lender had no knowledge of the bor-
rcwer's condition. the mortgage should
be considered as dated from the day
the r2oney was transferred and the
lender considered a preferred credi-
tor. Accordingly Mr.. Brown was al
lowed $500 his original claim, $3.50
as interest and 5000 for attorney
fees. Mr.. Brown was represented by
Attorney Otto Bruce who had as his
| co-councif Charles Miller of South
Bend. United States district attorney.
The total indebtedness of the insti-
tute is in the neighborhood of
100000 not including $4,000 worth
preferred creditors shares.

PARTY ASKS
NUMBER Of
QUESTIONS

The present democratic city admin
istration asks your support at the polls
solely on its past record.
What has 1t done for the citizens or
the city of Hammond?
How have they improved the street
car service?
How have they protected the safety
and lives of our citizens at railroad
crossings?
What have they done toward track
elevation?
What steps have been taken in be-
half of the interests of gas and cleo
trio consumers1
What has been done regarding tele-
phone service and rates?
Does the way they have handled the
deep sewer question cause you to
have faith in their ability to handle
the big problems of Hammond?
Have they kept the streets and al.
army of street employees just been
holding snaps in reward for past or
future favors?
Have the water-works problems
been solved so that at all seasons and
under all conditions. citizens are as
sured of an adequate supply of pure,
clean water?
Has the garbage of the city been
disposed of with regard to the health
of the people of every section of the
city and in such manner as to be
source of revenue to the city instead
of big item of expense?
The only thing that has been done
in four years has been in the way
of street improvements and those who
have paid these special assessments
know how inadequateiy and ineffi
ciently this has been done.
Nothing else has been done except
to raise the tax rate and provide for
an increase of salary for every city
officer. which will begin for them jan
uary first il you re-elect them.
The administration is negative in
every respect except for self interest
Because of its past record it is not en-
titled to your endorsement. Make a
change. Elect the Republican ticket
and with men of ability, honest and
integrity of the Republican nominees
in office you can hope for greater and
better things for Hammond.

EXPERIENCE TEACHES
THEM A LESSON

The experience that four foreigners
had in the federal court before Judge
Anderson yesterday, when their Sec
ond papers were cancelled because
they had been obtained through aueg-
ed fraud and misrepresentation will
undoubtedly put others who intend to
get their second papers, on guard.
Three of the four who lose their
second papers were sa1oonkeepers and
their future business appears to be
jeopardized. especially at the time
when they will apply for the renewal
of their licenses. Whether their Ii
censes will he taken from them i'm

They will have to wait another fve
years now before they can get their
second papers. The four foreigners in

DECLARES CLAIMS
ARE ABSURD

Mr.. SmalIey and his democratic man.
aEers play up In black headlines the
..business basis upon which they have
placed the affairs of the city of Ham,
mond., Such claims are absurd and
are the old brand of political bunkum.
Mr.. SmalIey was the first comptroller
of the city, after q state law created
such office, and he had to proceed as
he has done because the law set out In
detail just what his duties were. The
comptroHer's office ms the head Of the
department of finance is an Important
one, but his duties clerical and
such any ordinary bookkeeper can
perform. Mr.. Smalley Is and always
