NEW LAW WILL vt GOVERN

HAMMOND. As Fourth Clitaaes Prepares for Chans Under Cltie and Towns Anct. (Special to Lake County Times). Indianapolis, Feb. 9. Hammond as a fourth class city may prepare itself for a change in the city and towns law , as enacted in the lpsrinitnr in ions Just what the change will be cannot be definitely forecasted at this time, but the rumblings in the house cities and towns committee show that there will be trimmin The first of next week is going to see a bill reported out of the committee Which Will vitnllw offopt cltli.s nf the third and fourth class. Terre Haute will be placed in the second class, and the other cities will come within the Drovistnns of tho bill th:it will be reDorterl out Those asking for a revision of the present cities and towns law do so on the grounds that city government Is too expensive, while the supporters of the law say that it is only under its provision that cities have had a real business administration. According to a member of a sub committee, however .important changes will be made. The sub-committee was appointed by the cities and towns committee for the Dumose of drawing up a bill that would "meet conditions in New Albanv. Mnncio n.n.1 Anderson." The bill now in the hands of the committee means one of two things or both of them. Either there will be a general reduction all along the line, or somo of the offices will be cut out al together. Probably a little of both will result. All of this Is tentative as yet, but those interested in the progress of the fight on the cities and towns bill may put it down in their little dope sheet that, for example, eiher the boards of public works of these class cities will ba cut out altogether, or their salaries will be reduced. This information comes direct from inside tho sub-committee who lias the measure in charge. The city judge and the city controller are to come in for their share either ellmilnation or salary reduction, also. Those who have been fighting the present law have been much more ac tive than those who have supported the retention of tho present system for another two years. This explains the determination of the members of the committee to grant "the relief asked for." It is up to the friends of the present law to get very busy and so. The fight Is to be made in Bay the In tho house first. Then In the senate. the senate, Senator Stotsenberg is leader in favor of a revision. A house and senate leader on the other side of the question Is demanded. POLICE SEEK RESIDENCE OF . HARHY SCHOKIE'S FAMILY. Captain Bustle Will Opeu Correspond ence With German Authorities Tomorrow, Looking: to That End Old Man's Life History a Pitiful One. The disposal of tha estate of Henry Schokles, the late north side recluse, will bring ' about international rela tions between the officials of this city and those of Germany. Captain Emll Dunde will probably open correspond ence with the German authorities, tomorrow, for the purpose of locating the wife and children of the deceased Their residence is not definitely known although from letters and records it can nearly be guessed at. The probabilities are that within a month the estate will be disposed of. From letters in Captain Bunde's pos session It appears that bchokies was deserted by liis wire ana mat she re fused to live with him. In his despon dency he left tho old country and land ed in South America, where he spent many years. Although meetings many business reverses he managed to ac quire property and save some money. Anxietv as to the disposal of his estate as he realized that his days were num bered, induced him to write to the German authorities asking for their aid in seeking his family. From a copy of a letter addressed to his children it seems tha police were successful in their quest and that they wrote to him. It was also evident that he was expecting a letter from them at the time of his death. Had it been possible for the local authorities to find the letter they think he received from his children, the estate could be disposed of without any farther delay. This letter, however, is missing. GOOD PLAY AT T0WLES. Those who failed to see the "Eight Bells" at Towle's opera house last night missed a rare treat. The playthroughout was full of exciting comedy which took the audience from one fit of laughter to another. In the first act the house that came out on the stage and then fell apart was something quite novel. John Bryne and his troupe of acrobats did some clever origina Humbling and acrobatic feats that were very pleasing. Miss Emma O'Xeil. the California baritone, was encored several times. Schrock Rice in their original comedy Circus Rider" did some difficult on bicycles. and "The feats UNCLAIMED LETTERS. The following letters remain uncall

rail DEAD iD LIVING Of WAY Will Reach Chicago Monday and Funeral Will Take Place Tuesday.

It is probable that the funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Nason, who lost their lives in the snow slide at Salida, Colo., will be one of the largest that has taken place In Hammond for a long time. C. W. Ileinbach, clery of the Eureka Camp, No. 5051, Modern Woodman of America, has-issued a notice requesting all members of the camp to attend a meeting called for 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Weis hall, for the purpose of making arrangements for the funeral which is to be in charge of the local camp of which the late Mr. Nason was a member. Mr. Heinbach received a telegram this morning stating that the bodies left Salida at 6:32 this morning via the Rock Island road and will arrive in Chicago Monday morning at 7:30 o'clock. The Nason children are also aboard the tho same train, the Woodmen having appropriated $343 to defray the charges of transpartation. The telegram was sent by the clerk of the Salide lodge, wha hove charge of arrangements from that end and through whose efforts the bodies were recovered. When the Woodmen of the Salida lodge liexan their search, they were unaware of the fact that the vlctime of tho slide had any affiliation with their order and It was by the merest chance that they learned of Mr. Nason being a Woodman. The funeral will be held Tuesday morning from St. Joseph's church. The arrangements for this will be made to the minutest detail at tomorrow's meet ing. There will be a committee appointed to meet the members of the bereaved family at the train to take charge of the remains of the dead. Pall bearers wil be chosen and ar rangements for the flowers, etc., all at tomorrow's meeting. made by the Ladv Forester's for Mrs. There will be special arrangements Nason, although the funerals will be In one procession and there will be but one ceremony for both. The children will be cared for by relatives. WHISKEY TRUST IS GIVEN A SEVERE JOLT IN CONGRESS. House Amends Denatured Alcohol Law the Uenelit of Farmers. They Run Their Own Still. For 31 ay Washington, Feb. 8. In passing the bill amending the denatured alcohol law of last June, the house struck a blow at the whisky trust which, as pointed out in these dispatches two months ago, is counting on controling the output and the price of denatured alcohol. The amendatory bill passed last evening is intended to enable farmers to take advantage of the legislation of last year. The new legislation permits the establishment of central denatured bonded warehouses other than those at distilleries. In speaking of the amendatory law, Representative E. G. Hill, of Connecticut, its author, said today: "The farmers of this country wero disappointed at the legislation of a year ago. This amendment brings into the United States the German farm distillery system, where the farmer at the end of his crop season can sort his crop, take his culls, whatever they may be, or .1 1 T. 1 corn ana potatoes, ana oy a. rfitauiia.uie notice to the government, can have his still started and locked, his system In spected occasionally at the will of the government and without the denaturing warehouse, and without the bonded warehouses, can go ahead and utilize the waste products of the farm. "The amendment does not permit the making of the average alcohol or Dev erage spirits. These stills can only be utilized for alcohol that ia to be de.ifitnrpr! it is bonded from the still straight through to the denaturing process, and I have not the slightest ques tion but that it can be nancuea wun entire safety to the revenue." DEPENDS ON THE SQUEEZE. "In wine making," said a wine ex pert, "the grapes are squeezed from one to six times, and from each squeeze a different grade of wine is made. "That is why from one district and from one firm so many varieties of wine come. These varieties don't mean that each is made from a different kind of grape. They mean, as a rule, thnt tii.u- nrft made from different squeezes. "The first squeeze, of course, makes the best and dearest wine.
