LAKE To HAVE BIC
UNIT IN ASSEMBLY
Three Senators, Four Repre-
sentatives, One Joint
Representative.

Lake county will be well represented
in the forthcoming session Of the In
diana legislature.
1T viii have one joint senator. two
senators, one joint representative and
four representatives in the general as
semhly. which eonvenes in January.
They are all republican. Instead of one
joint member in the senate the county
will have three looking after its inter-
ests.
Dwight NJ Kinder of Gary is hold
over senator from Lake and Porter
counties. Ex-Sheriff Thomas Grant Of
Lowell. and ex-Postmaster James Nejdl
Of Whiting, are the two new senator's.
New representatives. are Edwin c. Da-
Wis Of Crown Point. J. Glenn Harris of
Gary, James I. Day of Hammond An
drew Fl. Sambor OF Indiana Harder and
Gary. and John Overmeyer of Kouts
(Porter county,. the latter being joint
representative from Lake and Porter
counties.
Heretofore Lake had but one joint
senator and two representatives.
1t is expected that about one of the
first bills the rev members will be
asked to back will be one backed by
Gary men demanding a court for Gary.
The request may be for an additiona
court or the transfer Of one of Ham
mond's three superior courts to Gary.
In the event OF the passage of the
bill Lake county practically will have
three county seats. for there will be
courts of record at Gary. Hammond
and Crown Point. a situation that
would be without parallel in America.

Two big negroes approached Martin
Jopinski about $3.50 at the corner of
Guthrie and 137th streets Indiana Har-
Dor according to the latters story and
asked for a match. As he reached in
mis- pockets to comply with the request,
one of the negroes thrust the barrel OF
revolver in his face and ordered him
to throw up his hands
Martin, thinking discretion the bet
ter part of valor, at once complied and
one OF the black men searched his
pockets. Their trouble was rewarded
by finding deep down in Martins jeans
thirty-five cents. Japinski could not

CONGRESS DIVIDED


NEW YORK, Nov. "a divided con-
gress was forecasted by incomplete re-
turns gathered by the United Press UP
to noon today.
The returns tended to support repub-
iican claims that the house will be re-
publican. although democratic leaders
insisted the hnal count will show them
still in control Of the lower body.
That the present democratic major
ity will be deeply cut however, is GER
tain.
Returns of the senate fight are near
er complete. Tney tend to show the
democrats still control by a probable
majority OF twelve compared to their
present majority of sixteen.
The entire membership of the house
was voted on. Estimates based OH
claims of state committees of both sides
show anywhere from 30 to 220 demo-
cratic congressman elected and from
21S to 220 republicans chosen.

Arrived at his own home, Count
Frederick of Gretzhoffen found a little
pile Of unopened letters waiting for
him, and picked up one bearing the
crest of Count Sachio of Grahoffen, a
man he had known for many years
and with whom. II truth be told, he
had had certain plans which neither
would have cared to have come into
public knowledge. He tore open the
envelope.

AT sunrise of the following morning
Kitty awoke as suddenly as she had
fallen asleep the night before.
After her frugal breakfast with the
old peasant folk-with whom she could
hold no conversation whatever-she
set out for the bedside Of the faithful
attendant who had been injured in her
cause.

The face of Kitty Gray had grown
like marble. Suddenly, with one swift
movement. she dashed her clenched
hand with all her force into the face
which bent toward her. A livid mark
arose under the swift compact The
tall man staggered back. The next
instant Kitty felt her wrist caught in
an iron grasp. Struggling. she was
forced backward. She felt another
hand grasp her wrist.
The man Grahame, the counts valet,
had appeared mysteriously from the
alcove adjoining.

Frederick still. Tell me where I may
