GETS BILL THROUGH.

Want Court to Review Fraud Orders That Are Issued by Fostoffice Department. Representative E. D. Crumpacker introduced a bill in congress last Monday authorizing the courts to review fraud orders that are issued by the postoffice department. The bill was passed after a long speech by the congressman from this district and after there had been considerable debate. According to the present system, Mr. Crumpacker said it was impossible for the postmaster-general to know whether a fraud order is justified by facts. The opposition to Mr. Crumpacker's bill was lead by Representative Overstreet who is chairman of the postoffice committee. Overstreet has a plan for putting the fraud order business in the hands of a commission.

OIL AT FIVE CENTS A GALLON.

Independent Refiner Wants Same Rate From Whiting That the Standard Has. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 7. The taking of testimony in the ouster . proceedings

brought by Attorney-General Hadley against the Waters-Pierce, Standard and Republic oil . companies was practically closed today. Mr. Hadley said tonight that the case would be decided by the supreme court in the April term. The feature today was the state-mept-of C. D. Webster, an independent oil refiner of Humboldt, Kan., that "water-white petroleum oil" can be produced at an actual cost of less than 2 cents a gallon, including refining and the purchase price of the crude oil. He swore that if he could get the same rate from Whiting. Ind., to St. Louis that the Standard gets he could profitably "sell, oil at 5 cents a gallon. The Standard charges 11 cents.

A family with living representatives of four generations, all In ylfforeui health both of mind and body, is not common in any community. This unusual circumstance is to be found in Hammond, however, In th family of Louis L. Porller, protrayed in the accompanying half-tone cut. nd showing Porlier, sr., together with his eldest son. James L. Porlltr, the laser's eldest son, Walter M., and Keith McKay, who is the only son of Walter M. Mr. Porlier is a pioneer of Hammond, having come here in 1869 from Blua Island when Hammond was a struggling village of eight raodeit homes. At that time all that could be said of the town, aside from the eight homes, was that there was plenty of green grass about and wild flowers peculiar to th vincinity, and a few stunted scrub oak trees. Mr. Porlier had served in the war of the rebellion in Company O, of th Second Wisconsin cavalry under General Washburn, and is the oldest older living in Hammond. He helped in the construction of the first of the O. H. Hammond company buildings and was employed by that company until 'its removal from Hammond. ' James Porlier was like his father in the matter of being well disposed and respected, lie was quite a lad when he came to Hammond with his parents and made many friends by his amiable disposition and his willingness to obUi't. Ha was always in demand to make trips for both his mother and the neighbor? to the nearest stores, which at that time were located at Palton and Blue Island. At the age of fifteen he was entrusted with the responsibility of carrying the mail to the nearest postoffice which was at Gibson. Later, he, like his

father, found employment with the Hammond people. Even when the packing concern located in Chicago, he accompanied it, and was employed there until two years ago when he returned to this city. As a young man he had been very popular in Hammond social circles, having at one time been the leader of the local brass band which was quite an institution in the early days. In 1S97 he married Addie E. Peck, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Peck, who had recently come from Jackson, Mich., to make their home in Hammond. Since his return to Hammond he has been employed by the Wiker teaming company and he resides at 338 Plummer avenue. Walter M. Porlier is a Hammond product pure and simple. He was born and brought up here and received his education in the Hammond schools. Like his father and grandfather before him, he went to work for the G. H. Hammond company with which firm he is still. He and his wife also live in plummer avenue with their only son, Keith McKay, who is a handsome andjbjirht little fellow sixteen months old and is the pride of his grandparents' heart
