Judge Charles Friedrich. successor to
E. P. Ames. as Hammond Justice of the
Peace. performed his first marriage
ceremony Tuesday afternoon.
The judge was sitting in his office
in the Hammond building browsing
book of the statutes of Indiana when
a young couple looking rather fustercd
came in and timidly asked him if ne
was a marrying squire. The jurist sat
UP straight and assured them that was
part of his trade.
He had only recently looked up the
little formalities which fell to him in
presiding at weddings so he was all set
for the affair. The contracting parties
were John Baltman and Miss Anna +
Golden. both Of Chicago Adjusting his
specs the court plunged into the task
and went right through it without a
hitch. With the blessing of the squire
following them the newlyweds fastened
back to Chica go.

had gone. There's nothing much 10
wedding ceremony, nothing but the

four precincts already counted were
heavy ones and showed numerous mutt

REVEAL

Wife of Carnival Employee
in Penitentiary, Sent to
Akron Relatives.

One Of those fine instances which
frequently occur at police headquarters
and though seldom becoming publicity
known, reveal that other side of the
policeman's life when he is more than
merely a minion of the law. happened
last night when Oficer Charles Recklcr
entered the station accompanied by a
woman with a year old infant in her
arms.
Let her tell her story. More than

cided TO join him. When I reached tho
town learned that the show had moved

I was told that he had stolen funds
belonging to the show people and had
been sentenced to the state penitentiary
at Michigan City. 7 went to Michi gan

and intended then TO beat my way to
Akron and then send for the baby
When the woman finished her story she
burst into tears and the reputed i'm
movable coppers were moved. Then the
baby began to cry which added to the
confusion of the officers.
Detective 6. Singer started the ball
rolling. Let's send her to Akron We
probation officials but sthy do it with
the possibility that her baby may be
taken from her I'll give dollar

DEFENDANT
WINS IN POSTAL
DIVORCE CASE

Judge V. S. Reiter in Room OF the
Hammond superior court today hand
ed down his decision in the suit Of
John Postal VS.. Nora Postal for the
setting aside Of a divorce decree which
had been issued in the superior court
two years ago. The court ruled in IA
vor of the defendant. holding that
the decree should stand and not be
changed Costs were taxed against
the plaintiff Attorney Daley Of Bluff
fton for the plaintiff was granted an
appeal TO the supreme court of Ind
lana.
The suit, which attracted consider
able attention during its hearing late
last fall, had been delayed in its fnal
ruling while the court made special
findings OF facts and conclusions Of
law These findings were annU-aced
by Judge Reiter this morning ano mis-
decision was given at the same time.
The Postals resided at Blu1ton. prior
to their separation. Mr.. Postal trav-
eled extensively on various promotion
schemes in which he was interested.
While staying at Gary he applied for
a divorce. making affidavit that he
vas a resident OF Lake county. Then
followed a period in which various fea
lures developed. Postals insisted that
he and Mrs Postal had agreed TO drop
the suit and that ne Instructed ris
attorneys TO do so. Then he suffered
an accident out West in which he says
his mind was a blank for a long time.
In the meantime Mrs. Postal filed
cross complaint and in the absence Of
her husband a decree was granted in
her favor. giving her the property at
Button.
Postal declared that he was not a
resident Of Lake county when he made
affidavit TO that effect. Had the decree
been granted him under such circum-
stances it would have been invalid, IL
is said but the statue permits the
granting OF a decree on a cross COM
plant even though neither party is
resident of the county. Judge Reiter
stated that he could find no law to
support a ruling 10 the contrary so he
was forced to uphold the decree. The
case was peculiar in that nothing like
1t had ever been carried TO the higher
courts. For this reason il will be wat
ched closely in the supreme court. Ex-
senator Simons of Bluffton and L. L.
Bomberger of Hammond were attor-
neys for Mrs. Postal while Attorney
Daley Of Blurfton and the late Judge
John H. Gillett appeared for the plain
tiff in the trial

CHICAGO, June 2-The score stood
to 2 in favor of Gov. Frank o. Low
den. of Illinois. when the republican
national committee resumed its hear
ing on contested seats for the national
convention today. Seven of the Ill
nois governors supporters in Arkan-
sas have been seated by the commit
tee, as against two for Gen. Wood
from the District of Columbia.
SLOW PROGRESS MADE
The two cases represent the only
contests actually decided by the com
mittee in two days. Progress has
been so slow that. beginning tonight,
sessions will be held nightly until all
the contests are out of the way. The
Lowden and Wood factions are praeti-
cally the only ones involved in the
contests. Senator Hiram Johnson's
candidacy is involved in but two from
the Tenth district of Minnesota.
COMMITTEE Is IMPATIENT
Members of the national committee
are beginning to manifest considerable
impatience with the status of the con-
testing factions. In almost every
case the contests come from the south
and the the result of local facticrai
fighting In most of them the racial
question is predominant.

contests. particularly noticeable among
