Departing from the sensational feat
ures which have characterized the grand
jury reports of recent years. the inouis-
itors Tor the April term rendered their
maj report yesterday morning to Judge
samuel E. Greene in the first division of
the criminal court According to the
statements of court officials and attor-
neys IT was brief, business like and re-
freshing,' and a relief from the highly
colored reports that have been made in
the past.
What the grand jury saw fit to criticize
1t did so vigorously and to the point
what they saw TO commend they were not
stinted In their praise They condemned
the present condition of the courthouse
and recommended a liberal application of
soap and water applied with a scrubbing
brush and the use of paint on the interior
OF the building. They also declared them
serves on the vagrancy question and ad-
vocated strict enforcement of the law.
They commended the county jail as be-
ing clean and sanitary, but overcrowded,
and had nothing but the highest praise
Tor the condition of the almshouse. The
dillman hospital was found in good condi-
ton but overcrowded. The books and ac-
counts OF the county officials were found
correct and neatly kept. The report was
read by Assistant Solicitor Ed Winston.

New Federal Game Law
In Effect Oct. list.

The huntsmen this season will
find themselves confronted with
a number of new federal laws,
when the quail season opens the
10th of next month. Chief
among the new federal regula-
tions is one which forbids the
killing of migratory game and
insectivorous birds after sunset
or before sunrise. This provision
includes quail, and it is indeed a
most radical law, as it deprives
the sportsmen of their most
favorite times for hunting. Be-
tween daybreak and sunrise, al
so between sunset and dark. are
ecognized as the best times of
70 he day for hunting quail and

Atlanta, Oct. 10-The prison
commission this afternoon adopted
a resolution providing for one road
engineer and expert beginning
January l next. The order says:
con account of the small num-
Der of counties heard from on the
subject that desired the service ol
an expert we decided that at first
only one engineer would be re-
quired but We believe as the coun-
ties receive BENEFITS to be derived

will be employed and their services
utilized: We firmly believe that
tAis means a long step forward in

Interesting Sidelights on
Congressman Peterson's
New Secretary

Congressman John b. Peterson of the
tenth district, successor to Congress-
man Crumpacker, has established a pre-
cedent that will make the democratic
cohorts set up and take notice says the
Chesterton Tribune. 1t will be remem-
bered that the press of the district gave
it out that the office of secretary to
the congressman was going begging.
That is to say that men of the right
calibre were mighty scarce. There
were plenty of patriots looking for a
position that carried with it a fat
salary and little to do, and that re-
| CURED but little ability but the men
who were big enough for the job had
all beer gobbled up by the corpora
| tons Peterson required some stiff
qualifications of the man who was to
become his secretary. and for time it
looked as though he would be obliged
to draft his daughter and campaign
manager, Miss Belle Peterson. who had
established an enviable record In the
political field astaute diplomat
and political wirepuller. but that al
tternative has been avoided. In Ches-
/ terton Congressman peterson mas nc
warmer admirer than Charles Jeffrey
And the feeling is warmly reciprocated
on the part of Congressman Peterson
Mr.. jeffrey years ago discovered Edwin
Green, the only son of the lamented DR.
Green. and was instrumental in secur-
ing him some good positions. For some
time Mr.. Gren was the manager OF
the Hillstrom organ factory Later he
went to Michigan City to manage q
boating company for Offley eeds. From
there he went to Porter and became the
superintendent of the Porter yards Of
the Chicago Hydraulic Pressed Brick
Company. From there he went tc
Kansas City, to take charge of a cost
system for big concern. In the mean
time he married one of the daughters
Iof Postmaster Hillstrom. Today he Is
the secretary to Congressman Peterson
and during the sessions of Congress his
address will be in Washington d. C. In
vacation he Will be at home in the old
family mansion in Chesterton. Queer
turns the old political wheel makes. Ell
lPapa-in-law turned out of the post

plant has been competed by Houk
Bros, the boring being stopped at a
depth of over 100 feet. with every In

all the water required for the city's
use- The screen has not arrived as

time for the installation OF the new

guaranteed capacity of 500 gallons per
minute. The council is in hopes that
the new well and pump will solve the
water pumping problem at present. the
city having been up against a perplex-
