Wants Nitz Removed.

k-lilaF illltS-
The several articles that have ap-
pcared in the Times relative to the
police conditions of West Hammond
should appeal to every thinking per-
son residing in the city across the
line.
Think of a chief of police leaving
his city for two days and two nights
in company with woman who has
been accused Of and arrested on sew
eraI occasions on the charge of keep
ing house of i'll fame.
This IS a fine example for the head
Of police department to set for his
men.
Joseph Nitz. chief Of police. says he
was drunk at Burn, when he en-
tered iato a contract to accompany
Mrs. Rason baum on the trip. What
vas he doing in Burnham? He is paid

Hammond If AIR N1tz IS guilty as he
mas confessed. Public Sentiment should
demand his removal from the force
at once. as he is unworthy Of employ
ment * a public officer. and the place

could be employed.
I appeal to the citizens OF West
Hammond and ask how much longer
must we put up with conditions as
they have been under the present ad-
nifnistration.
