HAMMOND
BLACK BELT
NOT IMMUNE

Ed. Junior, king OF Hammond's $
BLACK Belt" could have been justly
styled the immune not so long ago.
but recently this nickname has been
belied. Not long ago Ed. was fined
and sentenced for violating the Ii
Quor law. and yesterday afternoon
n the Hammond city court he re-
solved his second dose of the law.
This time it was for another vice
charge=that of conducting a house
of i'll fame.
The ability of Judge Cleveland 20
recognize mother love when he saw
it. is responsible for Eds downfall
for old lady Washington mother
Of the convicted negro. attempted
nobly to take the blame for her sons
missteps In spite of the fact that
she stated under oath on the stand
that she, and not Ed, ran the place
at 40 State street; in spite of the
statement that Ed. had nothing to do
with the property and did not even
help her pay the rent, Judge Cleve-
land passed sentence on the erst-
while Immune Ed" He did so. be-
cause he knew Mrs. Washington TO
be a woman of good reputation. and
her son to be a man with a very.
very bad one.
Judge Henry Cleveland and Prose
cutor Joe Todd are in earnest in
their efforts TO close the hell holes
that exist in the BLACK Belt" they
said so in court yesterday. The
Judge also gave warning to the pros
tftutes and keepers of houses of bad
repute that hereafter the law would
be meted out to them in large doses.
Two bonds OF 500 each were for
feited yesterday afternoon. They

inmates of Juniors resort. TO pre-
vent other cases of bond jumping.
Dick Keigler and the three girls ar
rested with him as inmates of his
place, had their bonds changed from
500 to $1,000 each. The Keigler
case will be tried Friday morning.
If that little sum Of 5000 was all
that keigler had to worry about.
things would look better for him.
The main difficulty he has to face
now is the fact that his white bar
tender. Ed. Rossiter. failed to ap-
pear also yesterday and his bond Of
$500 IS also forfeited. keigler had
signed that bond. Rossiter is also
under a $1,000 bond. as the result
of his recent sentence of $3.50 and 80
days for violating the liquor. law.
Keigler signed this one too.
Attorney Erie Sproat. appearing
for the negroes, frankly told the
Judge that Rossiter was in West
Hammond dead drunk. and for that
reason could not appear in court.

A baby alligator, believed TO
have escaped from n train while
in transit to one of the Chicago
parks. has been sighted by boat-

a new and dreadful phase today,
when reports were received shortly
before noon. stating that the pris-

shot.
The number of dead varied Some
reports had been between ten and
twenty, while others went as high as
thirty
All agreed however that the shoot
ing took place in the woods north
of the mine and that superintendent
c. K. Mcdowell. was one of the vict-
inns
Col Sam Hunter, representing
Adult. General Carlos Black. of IL
linois. accompanied by county offic-

Chicago from Carbondale, where
they had detrained to the mine,
when strikers opened fire on them,
John Jordan and C. W. King were
shot In the back and arms and two
others as yet Unidentified were
found wounded seriously in the
woods by Mayor A. Hayden AMI

SOFT DRINK
PROPRIETOR
FACES COURT

After admitting that he could not
prontaoly operate soft drink par
lor without violating the law. STAN
ley Jabionski, proprietor of Polonia
Hali, lss Cameron street, Hammond.
turned down Judge Cleveland's offer
OF clemency, providing he would
close up his business and take the
nhe ana penal farm sentence yester-
oay afternoon in the Hammond city
court.
he said he would take a chance on
having the penal farm sentence
knocked off by appealing the case
TO the Criminal court.
Jablonski's place was one of those
hit in the Saturday raids by the
Hammond police. They found the
moonshine behind his bar and a
large quantity of bonded whiskey.
When the trial came UP yesterday
afternoon several of the soft drink
mans friends came into court and
told a pitiful story to him. They
said Stanley had decided to throw
himself on tie mercv of the court
after all the facts had been expla In
ed. He would plead guilty.
He has a family Of seven children
the Oldest is fifteen and the young
est seventeen months. The mother
Gied year ago but it is said JaD-
'onski has kept the nome together
without the aid of a woman. The
children are all with MIN. Furth-
ermore he would do better In the fu-
ture. His friends promised that for
Jablonski.
Then Judge Cleveland called Stan
ley to the witness stand.
He put the nat question which he
has asked other soft drink parIor
proprietors: Can you run a soft
drink parlor and not violate the law
and still make a living for yourself
and family?"
Stanley mumbled and evaded an
answer.
You can answer 1t yes or no. :"
said the court
Jablonski finally admitted that he
ness without slipping over the lines.
Then Judge Cleveland made his
offer. He would impose a fine Of
800 and costs and a penal farm SEN
tence of 1eo days, but would sus-
pend the penal farm part of It If
Stanley would promise to close up
his business. quit selling drinks of
any kind and allow officees of the
court to inspect the premises when
-tSh L > =,
he was keeping his word.
Jablonski would be given until 9
o'clock next Thursday morning In
which to close out his business
Then if it was shown he had COM
piled with the order the penal farm
sentence would be suspended.
Jablonski said he wanted to talk
1t over with his friends They re-
tired from the court room. One of
them returned in few minutes with
the announcement that Stanley had
decided to refuse the offer. He did
not want to quit business He
would let the court impose sentence
and take his chances on an appeal
to the Criminal court
So the Judge gave him 800 and
costs and 35 DAYS on the penal farm.
This is not the first time Judge
Cleveland has obtained from law Vi-
olators that a soft drink parlor is
not profitable without cheating. It
is one OF his favorite questions put
to men who face him and the an
swer is generally the same as Jab-
lonski's
