EFFECTIVE METHOD
TO COLLECT BILL

Councilman Joseph Stodola and his
brother, Andrew, who conduct a mar
ket and grocery in the Standard Steel
car district, are evidently very effective
bill collectors. according to a complaint
filed against them today in the superior
court by Attorneys Moran and Dyer
for Martin Eoewe.
According to the complaint for dam
ages. the brothers took a sum of money
by force from the plaintiff 1t seems
that there was difference of opinion
between the business men and their
customer as to the amount of a meat
bill, which the latter owed, and a
heated argument ensued. followed by a
physical encounter. in which Loewe
sustained severely injured hand Ac-
cording to the complaint the brothers
did pretty good team work one hold
ing the customer while the other went
through his pockets for the money.
Loewe is suing for $500 damages.

GETTING MARRIED
UNDER D|FFICUL TIES
Bride Willing, So Was Doc,
But License Office Is
Closed.

DIR. L. p. Collins, who has Offices in
the Aubry building, on the north side,
stole a march on his friends last Sun
day when he was married in Chicago to
Miss Mabel D. Cook of North Judson,
Ind, which is also DR.. Collins. former
home. They were married by the Rev.
sSchweidler of the LaSafle avenue Bap-
tist church, and are now in their home
at 17s Sheffield avenue. DIR. Collins has
been located in Hammond about year
and during this time has made many
friends and stands high with his pro-
fessional brethren.
The effort to procure his marriage
license last Saturday afternoon was
not without some difficulties for the
would-be benedict, and since then the
physician has had to explain a number
of times to his friends that he did
get a marriage license and not hunt
ing license, as was originally reported.
1t is true he had to do some hunting,
but that was due to the fact that he
arrived at the office of the license clerk
shortly after the office had been closed
for the day. He had to hunt for an
assistant and finally found a deputy
clerk in South Chicago. who accommo-
dated him after considerable persua :
sion.

Bill Through the
Legislature.

Garys Bar association last night vot-
ed to ask the legislature that half of
the sessions of superior court room

theory tnar. Vafparais5 ssfl gel = FULL
time circuit court and that Crown
Point Will have ali of the time of It's
circuit court Judge instead of yalpa-
raiso getting half OF his time. Thus.
instead of Crown Point having half of

superior court session 1t will have a
continuous circuit court with Gary get
ting half of a superior court.
To Meet Next Tuesday.
The Gary lawyers met at the Com :
mercial club with their president H r.

BILL WILL ABROGATE
JUDGES AUTHORITY
Hammond Council to Father
Measure to Take Away
Street Closing Right.

If the Hammond city council can pre-
vail upon the present Legislature, the
right of circuit court judges to close
streets and alleys without the consent
of the city authorities, will be abro-
gated, and as first step a resolution
was adopted at the regular meeting
last night instructing the city attorney
to prepare a legislative bill to this eff
feet.
The action of the city council last
night is the result of the recent lawsuit
at Crown Point. before Judge w. C.
McMahan, in which the city and a num-
ber of property owners opposed the
closing of certain streets in the prop
erty of the Illinois Car and Manufac-
turing company on the north side, the
company having been the petitioner.
instructed to Fight Closing.
In this case Judge McMahan has not
yet passed judgment. but at the close
of the trial he indicated that he would
find in favor of the petitioners. judg-
ment having been held in allegiance in
the meantime in the hope that the re-
monstrators and petitioners would get
together on an agreement, as the city
has about thousand dollars worth of
water pipe in the streets. The clos
ing Of the streets and alleys would give
the company additional acreage
amounting to approximately five acres
for which there would be no remunera-
ton either to the city or the other
demonstrators.
On this scope the city attorney was
further instructed to proceed at once
ask for a new trial, and in case this
is refused to appeal the case, he to rep

Under the present law petitioner
for the closing of public highways in
a city can proceed along two courses.
He may either negotiate with the city
and appeal to the circuit court, or he
may take his petition into the circuit
court directly.

come a city or the secono-cIass. II
provides also that the city officials In
office at the time of the promotion
shall remain and serve out their terms
and that they shall be eligible to re-
election.
The Stumbling Block.
This was the main stumbling block.
IN cities of the second class, under the
present law, city officials are not eligi-
Bile to reelection. They can serve only
one term, and the members of the COM
mittee did not seem inclined to give
Gary officials anything that officials Of
other second-class cities do not have.
Bill Is Held Up.
The committee decided to hold up tho
bill for few days until other cities
could be heard from But from the
temper of the committeeman it looks
like the bill may not get through.
There is a similar bill in the senate.

erty owners through petitions TO the
board of public works and the, Ham

they want them to be, brought let
ter of explanation to the council last
night from w. d. Ray, general man
aser of the Northern Indiana Gas 61
Electric Light CD.
In his letter Mr.. Ray explained that
under the existing circumstances the
company had taken the only course
open to it without going to the ex-
penditure of considerable extra mon
ey, to place the poles in the alley. He
said that the present amount of busi-
ness did not warrant the taking of the
circuftous alley route. but that later an
increase of business might warrant
making the change. Under the fran
chise that the company has it has the
right to place its poles both in the
streets or in the alleys.
