WASHINGTON
CLEARS CASES
Of CONFISCATION

The federal prohibition office at Ham
mond has just received from the de-
partment at Washington the latest IN
structions regarding the handling Of
confscation cases when vessels, auto
mobiles or other vehicles are seized
while Transporting liquor.
There has been a difference Of opinion
on the matter IN Indiana and the re
suit has been that in order to avoid
friction all conhscation cases have
been handled through the federal court.
The state courts now have the power
to seize and sell boats. automobiles or
other carriers Of liquor
The ordtr from Washington has been
transmitted to authorities IN Indiana
through District Attorney Fred Van
Nuys and reads as follows:
Since June I. 1921. In all cases where
IN any vessel or vehicle Is seized by
state officers on account Of being found
transporting liquor the state shall
handle the whole matter the criminal
case against the individual and the
matter Of eonfscating and selling the
vessel or vehicle
This viii apply even though a pro-
hibition agent was present and assist
ed the state officer in making the sell
zuro
Where prohibition agent alone
makes the seizure the govtrnment will
assume jurisdiction and make the PROSE
cution and conAscatton."

refuse to relinquish.
THE new agreement which would
have been effective from May Is, 1921.
to April !. 1922 was practically the
same in its first eleven sections with
the exception that wage rates was FIX
ed at SIS per day instead Of $40. The
disagreement came when the master
plumbers desired to incorporate Sec
tions II, IS, II. Is and IS in the agree
ment. These paragraphs would have
nullihed many of the existing working
restrictions and it was believed. would
have made settlement OF grievances
much simpler.
Here arc the paragraphs which spoil
ed the negotiations:

ployers. and the business agent or Local

the Calumet Association Of Sanitary
Engineers. The employers have the
right to discharge any employe for any
reason which he hay deem just and for

CIRCUS HERE
LATE ARRIVAL
STOPS PARADE

Owing TO a late arrival and in order
to avoid keeping this afternoons ma
tinee crowd waiting, the manageme nj
of the Hagenbeck- Wallace circus
abandoned its parade for Hammond to-
day.
1t was disappointment to many
Who had come down town to see the
pageant but it was stnl more OF a
disappointment to the management
,er the biggest circus on the road. to
retain parade as part OF It's daily
program. prides itself on having the
dnest street parade ever seen with a
circus.
| Hundreds who gathered al the rail-
road yards to see the show unload and
put up" at the Calumet avenue show
grounds. were given a considerable
| treat in the way Of OBSERVING efficiency
and system at their finest points.
system" works wonders in any line,
say circus men. but in no other voca-
tion 50 much as in ours. And today ;
a.ter D ons apparently bdre out the
statement. The wagons were unloaded
IA remarkably short time and were
IA their way 70 the show grounds.
When the wagon containing the cook
ing paraphernalia was rolled from the
cars smoke was issuing from chimneys
ST the coal ranges. Almost before the
Nitchen tents had been securely placed
position the aroma OF coffee and ba-
con could be detected issuing from the
cook house. Dining tents arose next
and after that. the menagerie, big tent
and sideshows. Placing of the seats
was simple matter, as. by use OF the
Curtis folding plan, these open and
shut in accordeon fashion. enabling
four men to do. IN 20 minutes, what
formerly required services OF 40 men
and almost an hour and so minutes in
time TO accomplish.
Few OF the animals Were in sight
but their roars and howls could be
aeard distance OF several blocks. The
"a sants and camels walked their
way to the show grounds.
The horses awakened considerable
admiration. They were beauties. The
Noble Six Hundred the famous
Hagenbeck- Wallace collection Of train
Cd horses, were not removed from their
palace stock cars until their stables
were In readiness.
Alice" the only trained hippop&ta-
mus in the world. was visible for
few moments. when sides of her huge
wagon were opened just before she was
hauled into the menagerie.
This afternoons performance started
at o'clock. Had the parade been
given. the management announced. 1t
would have been Impossible TO open
the doors at | o'clock. as is the custom.
and the crowds would have been great
~ inconvenienced BY long wait in
the sun. instead OF being allowed to
pass into the shade OF the tent.
Tonight's performance viii begin al
S o'clock. with doors opening at q
O'Clock. thus giving an hours time for
visiting the menagerie. This lies be-
tween the main entrance and the big
tent and IS free to all holders OF cir
Gus tickets. a down town ticket office
IS being maintained at the Summers
drug store for convenience OF patrons
who wish to avoid crowds. No extra
charge Is made for tickets purchased
there.
