kept at home for a few days by his

CONTEST
BARRED OF
PROFIT

Two men contested bitterly for the
nomination for police magistrate in
West Hammond. Judge Green was de-
feated and Judge Stachovitz was nom
mated and elected. Then Judge Green
secured the nomination and election to
the office of justice of the peace.
This is ancient history, but it is
news that after two judicial positions
had been filled that the two judges so
honored have found that there is
nothing to do.
OF course, Judge Stachovitz has not
not taken office and viii not do so un-
til the 1st of May, but then the meas
ure of the business has been taken and
two people would starve if they had to
rely on it,
West Hammond is so exemplary in
its conduct that nobody is being arrest
ed Hence the lack of business.

pleasant situation. 1t has undertaken
to stand by superintendent S. L. Heet-

hundreds of school children has made
the board very nervous.

by Ethel Iva Fisher, a domestic in his
home. He was indicted, but when tried
was acquitted. Two other girls who
wished to tell what they knew of Heet-
er were not permitted by the judge to
testify.
Following the acquittai. Superin-
tendent Heeter promptly resumed his
school duties. and the children pro-
tested by striking. They paraded
about the city bearing banners in
scribed Kick Heeter Out" Girls were
almost as numerous as boys in the
demonstrations. The youngsters chant
ed a number of such slogans as:

would ruin us il he could"

stirring up the children. Superintend-
ent Heeter kept right on working. He
said that many of the paraders were
pupils from parochial schools. The
police assisted by arresting a number
of the boys. and locking up some of
them. The press of the city. with the
exception of two afternoon newspa-
pers. endeavored to assure the people
that Superintendent Heeter had been
vindicated, and that there was no
cause for commotion.
Demands that superintendent Heet-
er be dismissed were met by the OBJ
lection that this would mean paying
him $4,000 for the remaining three
years of his contract. Opponents of
superintendent Heeter contended that
the morals of Pittsburg's children
could be considered cheap at $4,000.

Little Court Activity.

There is very little activity in the
Lake superior court in Hammond these
days. For the past two weeks matters
have Jagged. They began when Judge
Becker's criminal business petered out
and he was forced to occupy his time
for the last weeks of the term with
special matters.
In Judge Reiter's court the situation
is the same. Judge Reiter found that
the German case took up much of his
time and he finally abandoned his set
tings. He had some new ones made,
but not many cases went to trial.
