HARD PROBLEMS FOR
LAWYERS tn DECIDE

/. Il the judicial atmosphere at
Crown Point superior to that at
Hammond?
.. Is it farther from Crown
Point to Hammond and back than
it is from Hammond to Crown
Point and back?
8. Are there more anarchists per
capita in Hammond than Crown
Point?
These are some of the momentous
questions that came up at the meeting
of the bar of Lake County at the Lake
Superior court house in Hammond
this morning.
Discuss Was Serious.
The bulge brows discussed these
questions gravely and. 1t is understood.
have taken the matter under advise
ment. An ordinary mentality who hap
pened in at the meeting is still wonder
ing whether the lawyers present were
serious or whether they were kidding
themselves.
The matter came up when Attorney
William J. WINERY of Hammond sug-
gested that a committee of the bar be
appointed to go to Indianapolis to urge
the making of the court at Crown Point
continuous by separating the Lake and
Porter circuit and that Judge Johannes
Kopelke of Room No } of the Lake
Superior court be required to sit perm
anently in Hammond instead of divid-
ing his time with Crown Point.
Judge kopelke Indignant.
This got rise out of Judge Johannes
Kopelke. Rising in all his dignity he
declared that it ives a good thing to get
the courts away from the people. He

said that the judicial atmosphere at
Crown Point was much purer than the
murky atmosphere in Hammond. He
related the fact that a few days ago in
examining a jury that one of the
admitted that he was anar-
chist.
Judge Kopeke, fguratively. drew in
his skirts and shuddered at the thought
of the contamination. He did not see
how exact justice coud be filtered
through such an atmosphere. Besides
he said that 1t was enough of a hard
ship for the court to come to Hammond
for Ave weeks Of the term in which q
great many concur.
Lawyers Also Felt 1t.
Attorney Willis e. Roe of East Chi
cago suggested that perhaps his honor
appreciated the hardship that that had
come to ninety-fiv per cent of the
litigants of the county who for twenty
five years were compelled to go to
Crown Point to have their cases tried.
1t was he who suggested that perhaps
the distance from Crown Point to fam
mond and back was not SO much
greater than the distance from Ham
mond to Crown Point.
Attorney Peter Crumpacker then re-
marked that in view of the fact that
there was not full attendance of the
members of the bar that an effort tc
commit the bar on = -,bject would
be improper. WINERY as and the
meeting adjourned
Perhaps the subject for discussion al
the next meeting will be: Resolved
that a snake eater is more of hero
than hell-diver.'

Gets Prompt Response.

City Sealer Frank j. ORourke has
met with a prompt response from the
grocers in Hammond on the question
of adopting weights as the standard
for measurements. The old dry sys-
tenn is being discarded as rapidly as
possible. The weight system is abso-
lutely fair to the purchaser and works
no hardship on the honest dealer, and
that is why Mr.. O'Rourke is urging it's
introduction wherever 1t is practical.
The city sealer believes that eventual
ly eggs will be sold by weight instead
of by the dozen.

AMERICAN POLO
TEAM IS CHOSEN
Committee Occasions no Lit
tie Surprise, But Enthusi-
asts Are Satisfied.

New York, June 5.-The American
Polo association announced the fol-
lowing lineup of the American team
which will defend the international
cup at Meadowbrook next Tuesday:
No. !, =. E. Stoddard; No. 2, Dew
ereaux Milburn; No. 3, Foxhall Keene:
back, Malcolmn Stevenson.
A more sweeping change in the
lineup Of the cup defenders could
hardly have been made. Not only
have three members Of the crack
team of 1911 been eliminated, but
Devereaux Milburn has been shifted
from back to No. 2. Harry Payne
Whitney's resignation as captain is
implied by the announcement that
T F. Keene will succeed him as
captain and at No. 8; both the Water
bury brothers have gone by the
board.
Milburn has been rated at nine
goals, whether he played at No. 8, No.
2 or back. The only veteran player
Of he new team. 80 far as the games
of 1911 are concerned. he is acclaimed
it's star. Foxhall Keene at No. 3 is
rated a nine goal man; he was a men,
Britain in 1886. Stoddard is rated at
z goals playing No. 8 and at 8 goals
at No. 1 In addition he has the adj
vantage Of having a string Of excellent
mounts. Stevenson is rated at Z
goals.
Committees Move Wise.
Although the withdrawal Of Mr..
Whitney and the Waterbury brothers
was a great surprise to polo enthusi-
the newly-selected team displayed in
a game with the Meadowbrook free
hooters yesterday seemed to convince
the experts that the committees move
was a wise one. Whitney, 1t is known,
has. been under the weather this sea-
son and his form has been by no
means what 1t was two years ago.
Neither has the game of the two Wa
terburys been as brilliant as former
ly.
Messrs. Stoddard, Milburn, Keene
and Stevenson. the newly-picked quar-
tet. whose total handicap is 81, play
ed yesterday against a team Of "a
goals handicap. consisting Of c. c.
Rumsey. Rene La Montague. r. L.
Agassiz and Harold c. Phipps. and al
though this team played a notably
fast and snappy game, they were de-
feated by the international four IA
goals to 8.
The four who will represent Ameri-
ca in the first Of the International cup
good team work. Miiburn, whose In
Jury last week caused SO much an
xiety, played at No. 2 and appeared In
fine form. He displayed remarkable
speed and judgment. making six of the
IA goals.
Foxhall Keene was again in fully as
good form as that of five years ago
and his frequent bursts Of speed and
the manner. in which he turned the
ball regardless Of opposition brought
forth much favorable comment.
Opinion generally appeared to be that
the American players are in their best
form.
The new team probably will play
another Friday and judging from their
play yesterday there Is every Likelihood
that the odds against an American
victory will diminish considerably.
