MISS RYAN IS

Enthusiasm.

Rosie Ryan. looking in the best of

Gary skating rink on November so.
which resulted in the shattering of
regulations, among them the good
name of prominent married man of
the steel city.
Today Rosie is shopping with all the
enthusiasm of the 19-year-old miss she
is. This afternoon Miss Ryan took in
the matinee and laughed at a clever
performance Of music and nonsense.
She has resumed her old habits of
living and will remain In Hammond.
Naturally Miss Ryan is distressed at
the publicity which arose during her
mysterious absence of a fortnight. Had
she telephoned her mother from Chi
cago that she was at the home of a
girl friend, none of this would have
occurred. But as it was it could not
be helped for the police, fearing foul
play at the hands of white siavers.

an admits as much. That she was un-
der the influence of drug is apparent
from the testimony of her girl friends,
and although she is making no state
ments at present, that is very probably
her explanation.
Sentiment is not against the girl
and official opinion is that she was
taken to a Broadway hotel by Victor
Rarnhart while her head was reeking
from the effects of intoxicants or drugs
In that case the matter may not be
dropped.
The girl was brought home from
Chicago by Captain Rimbach of the
Hammond force. She was found in g
dance hall by Chicago police.

To be chased by a poker in the hands
of an irate woman, only to flee into the
arms of police officer. was the fate
of Henry Griesheimer Of Gary in East

Quoting himself in a very indecorous
manner near st. Mary's Catholic
church. insulting little girls as they
happened to pass him and misbehaving
generally. He was observed by a wom-
an who lives in the vicinity, but who
as a highly respected member of the

known in this connection. Outraged at
Griesheimer's actions she sailed forth,
armed with q poker, and approaching
him in a threatening manner ordered
him to begone. Griesheimer fed pre-
cipitately and his vanquisher thereupon

police and requested them to be on the
lookout for him, as he was headed to-
wards the station She described the
man and the police were ready for him
and took him into the station at once

ORPHEUM
ARRANGES
BENEFIT

Louis RommeI. manager of the Or
pheuln theater. announces that all rec
ords In point of performances will be
broken at his house New Years week
Twenty five shows are to be given in
seven days.
On New Years eve a performance
will start shortly after 1890 and con-
tinue until the whistles have all blown
and the New Year is in. Added at
fractions have been secured and the
regular performance will be mixed
with a cabaret.
All three shows on the day before
Christmas are to go for sweet charity.
It is thought advisable for Settlement
House workers who are interested in
this benefit to sell tickets in advance.
When the Christmas eve rush is on
there is. little thought of theatricaIs
and crowds are apt to be small. How
ever, an advance sale could be made
successful.
A season or so ago the big cities
were regaled with a we'll acted farce
in which a young physician finding
himself in a pinch, rents out the
rooms of his uncle's palatial residence.
during the owners absence. Complica-
tions ensue. The whole thing is re-
solved into a question of how said
roomers may be elected before uncle
arrives. 1t is hard to throw out a re-
tired banker from Kalamazoo, Mich,
let alone a vaudeville artist.
Jack Trainor as Heryy Smitt. re-
tired president of the German Ameri-
can Savings bank. has brought the
farce down from two and a half hours
and intersperced tunes to make 1t
lively. Although the small chorus is
agile it would be better were the tunes
admitted. That is, it would be better
for the show, as performance, but not
for the box office. Pure farce Doesn't
always go.
Jack Trainor is a good farceur. and
Howard Longford a lady-killer. Louisa
Willis pleases in difficult role, one
that is generally over-done, and Edna
Raymond wears tights and war paint

FACTIONS

Although the elections are over the
warning factions in Hobart have not
yet laid down their arms. One politi-
cal move is made after another to
checkmate the other fellow and occa-
sionally the courts are resorted to for
an Injunction Hr mandamus.
Judge Retter OF the superior court
yesterday afternoon issued tempo
rary restraining order against H. e.
Keilman president of the tow nboard
William Scharback and William Len
nertz town trustees to prevent them
from carrying out their announced in
tention of appointing two new trustees
for. two new wards which they had
created at a meeting on the ninth of
this month. The meeting for the ap-
pointment of James Malone as sixth
ward trustee and John E. Larson as
seventh ward trustee was scheduled
for last night, but the temporary re-
straining order put a check to the
plans.
The trial for the permanent injunc-
tion is to be begun in the superior
court on Wednesday of this week. The
petitioners for the injunction repre-
sented by Attorney Jesse Wilson of
Hammond are William II. Carey and
James NJ. Ballantyne. IN their COM
plaint it is alleged that their proceed
ings creating the new wards were ir-
regular and that the wards themselves
have no equal apportionment of voters.

voters The petitioners see in the pro-
ceedings a movement by the Keilman
faction to secure control of the new
board. Keilman himself having been
defeated in the last election.
