SUPERIO nnulnT0
and CIRCUIT UUU1tIO

In his affidavit to support his mo-
tfon to set aside the default, Vapin-
ski showed he was fifty-five years old
and an emigrant from Hungary. and
that neither he nor his wife could read
or write either Hungarian or English
nor could they speak or understand
much English: that when he was sued
he employed attorney and paid him
a fee and had fun intentions to con
test the suit; that the only considera-
tion he ever received for the instru-
ment sued on was s1o0. though he was
promised the loan of $4,000, 81 800 of
which he never received. The ap-
penate court says that no excuse is
shown for the neglect of the attorney
and the affidavit is not sufficient.
Other affidavits We're afterward filed
tending to show that Vapinski was in
sane and attempted suicide by shoot
ing, which the court holds can not be
considered under the petition. Tosetti
caused affidavits to be filed which
tended to show most OF Vapinsl<i's
affidavit was founded on ima gination.
but they are not considered in the
opinion by the appellate court.

PROPERTY HOLDERS
HAVE MASS MEETING
Farmers Object Decidedly
to Proposed Annexation
to Hammond.

Property owners in the rural district
In North township. which Hammond
proposes to annex. held a mass meet
night on the question and thrashed the
question out with Hammond city Of
ficials Among the latter who were
present We're City Attorney John A.
Gavit, John L. Rohde, president of the
board of public works. and Judge Law
renee Becker. Trustee John Becker
wasalso present. The Hammond men,
with the exception OF the trustee, ar
gued in favor of the annexation. but
there were few of the farmers who
would admit that they would be bene-
fitted by the annexation william Popp
and Phil Mclaughlin were. however,
outspoken in ayor of the annexation.
City Attorney John Gavit found plen-
ty of argument when Mat Humpfer
arose to oppose the movement. L. re-
freshed Mr. Humpfer's memory, going
back several years when Mr.. Humpfer
considered $3.50 an acre a good price
for his land. This land. said Mr. Cav
less than 81 900 and that no man would
argue that this advance was brought
about by any intrinsic land value On
the contrary, he pointed out, the raise
is due to the proximity to ammond
When Humpfer raised some objection
to autos cutting up the highways, Mr..
Gavit jocularly reminded him that
among Mr.. Humpfer's relatives there
were probably more members driving
autos than in the average family.

PRAISES THE TIMES.

Maurice Hankinson, manager of
the Hammond and Orpheum Thea
tres, said to a TIMES representa-
tive yesterday: In a way the
Orpheum owes everything to THE
TIMES and its East Chicago,
Whiting, Indiana Harbor and
Gary editions. We draw a third
of our patronage from these
towns. | think it remarkable that
we can bring people from Gary
where another Orpheum is locat-
ed. 1t is done by THE TUNES.
At time | have decided to run
a picture show at the Hammond
theatre without notice morning
and my only advertising would be
in one edition of THE TIMES.
The crowds would come at night
and | had conclusive proof that
Hammond people read THE
TIMES all the way through. |
consider it a remarkable paper
and enjoy reading it myself"

rivalry exists among the members of

them to cop off first place. Captains
Hanlon and Rimbach, who deem them
selves the crack shots of the central
department, had dream last night
that they were capable to carry away
the honors.

APPELLATE
COURT DECISION

indianapolis, June 10.-The appel
late court, in an opinion just rendered.
says: "The courts of this state have
repeatedly held that the negligence of
the attorney is the negligence of the
client, and that default suffered
through the neglect of an attorney will
not be set aside, unless facts are stat
ed which show such neglect to be ex-
cusable."
The holding is made in affirming
the Lake superior court in refusing
Paul vapinsk aind his wife relief from
a judgment by default for $2.340.e0
and the foreclosure of a mortgage in
favor of Ernest Tosetti and others as
owners of the Tosetti Brewing com
pany, of Chicago.

first papers. to insure themselves n
vote in the fall election in Gary.
On Monday morning Clerk Surprise
issued papers to SO, yesterday to so

The spIintering of the gates is a
simple mocha nical proposition which
any high school boy could solve. The
impact evidently came from below for
the timbers are shattered horizontally
and not broken off. No one has vet
established that Prohl was going over
Ave or six miles an hour. No one can
be found to bear responsibility for the
story that Prohl stood up and attempt

Hammond's motorcycle police squad
has been anything but busy this year
not one arrest being made for the vio-
lation of the speed ordinance. This is
due to the fact that it is thought the
police learned the speeders a lesson
last year and now when they pass
through Hammond the power of their
machines are shut down to a moderate
degree. OF the hundreds of automo-
biles and motorcycles that passed
through the city yesterday not one
complaint was made.

Many Tributes Given.
Tributes to John Prohl. the victim OF
Hammond's latest railroad tragedy. are
men OF every trade and business. The
city cannot reconcile itself to the loss
of one it so greatly depended upon.
1t is made plain to those who did not
have the pleasure of knowing Mr.. Prohl
by those who did that he was a man
among men. whose word passed as gold
and whose reputation was above re-
proach. One man remarked last even
ing In public place that Prohl was
the last man he thought of when he
went to sleep and the first when he
woke up.
Leaves Good Sized Estate.
The estate of John Prohl is esti-
mated a s65,o0o. Contracts amounting
ing into thousands OF dollars have
been left unfinished One firm in Ham
mond has depended on Prohl for team
work for years and averaged a $500
teaming bill each week
The bulk OF teaming in Hammond
was conducted by him in such a sys-
tematic way that the cost was lowered
and prices made correspondingly. In
the Michigan avenue barn Prohl had
fifteen teams, the finest in town. The
entire burden of his business will fall
on the shoulders of Henry Dahlkamp,
teamster, for the present at least. The
estate goes to the wife and children.
