CO. INCORPORATES
Capital Placed at $5OO,OOO
and Name Slightly
Changed

Announcement was made yesterday of
the Incorporation Of Goodall- Brown
company. which will hereafter be
known as the Goodall Brown Dry Goods
company. The company has fully paid
up capital of s500000. The officers of
the company of the new corporation are

say, vice president; G. b. Mccormack.
l.. c. Wilson, secretary. and Murray
Brown treasurer These officers com
pose the board of directors.
With small capital but in the hands
of two former travelling men the firm
of Goodall- Brown was organized -
years ago Since that time it has been
a partnership until the formation of
the corporation yesterday Since COM
ing to Birmingham and opening the
small jobbing house the firm has grown
as the entire city has grown until the
sum of capital as announced will not
cause surprise in this city where big
things are constantly taking place. On
account of the wide acquaintance of the
members of the firm, the announcement
to the incorporation will be of more
than usual interest.
X. M. Goodall, who heads the firm,
came here from Nashville 12 years ago
after being a travelling man for years
When ne came here, however, Mr.. Good
all was a member of the firm of Lylas.
Davis, Goodall & co. His partner was
Murray Brown, treasurer of the new
firm, who was travelling man max
ing Birmingham his headquarters He
had at that time show rooms and apart
ments in the Morris hotel.
At this time Goodall- Brown & Co.,
or the new firm, employees a score of
more travelling men who cover this sec
tion completely. Their travelling men
are among the best known in this coun-
try and are all competent, successful
and highly regarded throughout their
territory.
The success of the Goodall- Brown
company 1t was asserted yesterday by
one of the officers is due among other
things to the fact that Birmingham is
growing as a jobbins center.

THE PARCEL POST
RULES VIOLATED
Aldrich States Much Trouble
Being Caused
MUST OBEY RULES
Packages Cannot Be Sealed, Must
Have Special Parcel Post Stamps,
Must Have Return Card and
Comply With Other Rules

The pubic will have to De more care
full in sending packages by. parcel post
according to Postmaster Aldrich. 1t
was stated yesterday a number OF peo-
pie insist on sealing their packages or
putting on ordinary stamps or forget
ting to attach a return card
This the postmaster claims. greatly
bothers the officials in charge of the
local parcel post office. All kind, of
packages have come to the office in
various conditions in the two days the
system has been in use. Some of the
packages were not tied up secure
enough. others were stamped inprop-
erly, still others were sealed or lacked
a return card. Postmaster Aldrich en-
phasized that all such packages only
delayed the working of the parcel post
system and that the packages thc.n-
selves never get anywhere, but are held
awaiting the owners call or are re-
fused II the owner is present
Rules Are Plain
Parcel post rules are explicit in that
they state that all packages intended
for the parcel post should be stamped
with the special parcel post stamps.
should not weigh over Il pounds and
be not over 72 inches in circumference
or length, should not be sealed but
securely tied. Sealed packages are
first class postal matter Books cannot
be sent by parcel post and il Is USE
less, Mr.. Aldrich said. for some people
to imagine that they fooled the postal
clerks by placing a book in q. box and
sending it by the parcel post as some
did yesterday. The clerks have the
right to open any package and upon
finding a book it viii be held Al.
packages should have the senders re-
turn card with his address thereon and
the postal clerks will not accept any
package unless these rules are explicit
ly followed.
Steady Business
Yesterday there was no great rush
at the parcel post window, but the
clerks were busy as the packages kept
coming in steadily There was always
someone at the weighing window. The
variety of packages sent showed the
possibilities of the system. There were
eggs, chickens, cigars. dry goods. shoes.
agricultural implements. various tools.
baking powder and -four. candy and
other things too numerous to mention.
The postmaster estimated that If the
parcel post normally increases as Il is
to storage rooms will have
to be rented near the postofice. az the
formally occupied by Assistant Post-
master Smith will be inadequate to
handle the volume of business.

Scent CRIME. BODY EyHUMEO

East Gary, Ind. Dec 11.-There is much excitement
here as the result of the exhumation of the body Of
infant buried in the Lake Station cemetery, weird
scene witnessed here today when Deputy Coroner
Brink of Hobart acting under instructions from Cororer
Frank Smith of Gary, dug up the remains. They are
those of the infant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Burr

truth of that the child had died of carbolic acid
poisoning
Several days ago the marshal and justice of the peace
at East Gary following the circulating of stories that the
child had been poisoned demanded that Coroner Smith
make an Investigation He held inquest and learned
from the parents the doctor and the undertaken that
the child had died of natural causes, being weakly
throughout it's life. However, the poisoning stories
would not down and todays postmortem is expected to
reveal whether the whole affair is peced from malicious

SECURES
CLIENTS ACQUITTAL
Jury Deliberates But One
Hour Over Verdict.

After an hours deliberation the jury
in Judge Reiter's court this afternoon
returned a verdict of mot guilty" for
Barney Chanacker, an Indiana Harbor
man, who was on trial for an alleged
criminal assault upon Sofia Chszanoska
The case was bitterly contested for
several days with Attorney w. A. Rel
land of Indiana Harbor the leading
counsel for the defense. Reiland was
assisted by Attorney w. j. McAleer Of
Hammond. and went into the trial con-
fident that he would clear his defend
ant. He represented Chanacker in the
lower court. where he also secured his
acquittal- Reiland and McAleer made
out a case of conspiracy against the
complaining witness. They showed that
the defendant was worth $4,000 and
that he would be liable in civil suit
in case he would be convicted.
The state was represented by Attor-
neys Paul McCloskey and Hembron &
Glazebrook, the latter conducting the
defense in court.

MONEY FLOWS, BUT
WEATHER DECIDES
WHICH WAY

Heat waves in December are not
conducive to a big holiday trade and
business men of Hammond are disap-
pointed in the weather. 1t is not even
good thing for the consumer from
the business mans standpoint, for as
one said today, "the workman spends
his money recklessly in weather such
as this.
"Then all of a sudden there comes a
raw, blustery, blizzard and people wake
up to the fact that they are not prop
erly clothed for winter weather, that
the coal bin is nearly empty. that storm
doors mus be made, basement windows
repaired and Christmas is only a little
ways off. The money that should have
gone for these things, if winter had
arrived sooner has been spent for
amusement"
Although this is rather a gloomy
philosophy. the business man who ex-
plotted 1t is a cheerful fellow. "The
trade is good" he said, "and we have
no complaint to make, but if it were
to get real cold and stay that way we
would shatter all records for business
in Hammond"
With the sun shining bright. the air
warm and the earth free of snow the
Christmas window displays do not have
the same setting as usual. The good
weather enables many to get out who
would otherwise be housed and the
stores are full in the afternoons so that
the belief of Mr.. Business Man thai
people like to shop in snow may no,
! be right

JONES NO LONGER A
FAKIRS' MEAL TICKET
Sage of State st. Performs a
Miracle" in His Bill
lizard Parlor.

Charles Jones, the sage of State
street, has exposed another of the
grafters that feed upon the gillibility
of the uninitiated.
Jones is about as old as Solomon and
nearly as wise. He has fingered so
long on this sordid globe that nothing
surprises him an dhe can read the Sat
urday Blade without winching. He con-
ducts an ordinary billiard parlor in S5
State street where a number of elderly
men like himself gather to play three
cushion billiards and while away an
afternoon or evening.
Spare Thy Tears.
A woman on crutches entered the
Jones establishment yesterday and So
licited charity. She had two little tod
dlers with her and looked as helpless
and forlorn as disabled femininty can.
1t was a pitifuI spectacle and would
have brought tears to the eyes of any
body but the sage of State street.
Have a chair" he said, formally.
With much stress she seated herself.
To all appearances one leg was miss
ing and the other one infirm. Tears
were in her eyes. 1t didn't faze Jones.
Lady" began the sage. tapping her
on the shoulder, tell me honestly,
doesn't it tire you TO walk around on
ons foot and hold the-other on up?"
Then the miracle happened. She rose
to her feet, both feet, and stamped the
floor with the one that was supposed
to have been cut off in a wreck, and
walked out of the place.
"Oh, madame" Jones called, you
! forgot your crutches.~
Fnkirs Might Well Avoid Jones.
The sage of State street can pene-
trate any foible or folly. He doubts
very much If there is any way in which
he was not stung during the years in
which he gained his knowledge and
understanding.
