ATTORNEY D. J. KORAN

WILL GO IT ALONE. Ills Partnership of Seven Years Standing AVlth Peter Crompacker Terminates This Day. The law partnership of Peter Crumpacker and D. J. Jloran was dissolved today, seven years to a day from the date of its formation. Mr. Moran retires to practice independently and has opened offices in suite 409, Hammond building. Mr. Crumpacker retains the old offices of the firm. Associated with him will be his two nephews, Fred C. and O. L. Crumpacker, sons of Congressman Crumpacker. T-he firm of Crumpacker & Moran was dissolved by mutual consent of its members, the most cordial and friendly relations existing between them. D. J. Moran located in Hammond to begin the practice of law, acquaint ed with but one citizen, J. G. Ibach whom he had met while teaching school at Huntington. Ind. He visited Hammond in the summer of IS'jS and looked the situation over, and deter mir.ea that Hammond and the sur rounding territory would become dur ing his life, the great manufacturing and commercial center of Indiana, He arrived in tho city on November 16 and shortly after opened a law office. He created such a favorable impres sion by his conduct and ability, that on March 1, 1900, he was invited by Peter Crumpacker. to enter the law business with him as a partner. From that date to this the partnership has continued. Early in the partnership Mr. Moran was given charge of the investigation of law questions and the appellate and supreme court branches of the firm, and devoted most of his time to this branch of the firm's busi ness, Mr. Crumpacker devoting most of his time chietly to the trial of cases From its formation the firm was quite successful and became well known as one of the leading law firms of northwestern Indiana. The business of the firm was at all times prosperous and continually expanding. THEATRICAL NOTES. In the "Phantom Detective," a melo drama of mystery, music, sensation and a story of well defined heart interest, Rowland & Clifford have scored the big gest kind of a hit with this new pro ductlon. The interest is never permitted to lag, thrilling climaxes crowd each other from start to finish and in termingled with Jovial comedy, musi cal numbers and a nonpariel scenic environment has made the "Phantom petective" one of the genuine theatri cal surprises of the season. The origi nal company and entire production in tact including the cages of real lions will be seen In this city next Sunday, March 3. Artnur .Dunn, the clever comedian, comes to the Towle opera house on Thursday Feb. 28 in his newest musical comedy success by Herbert Hall Winslow and A. Caldwell, entitled "The Little Joker." jir. uunn is remembered as one of the most popular musical comedy stars seen here in recent years and his engagement In "The Little Joker" will undoubtedly be. welcomed here as one of the laughing events of the season. MINSTRELS AT THE GRAND. Manager Brooks has a fine attraction at the Grand theatre this week. He has a company of minstrels who appeared in three different plays this week. Wishing to show the Hamond people that his company is both good and large he lead them in a parade down the main street Tuesday afternoon. The "cull'ed" folks all kept step to the music of their own brass band. Additional Heard on the Bpnrse. London The sale of discount of the bank of England remained unchanged today at 5 percent. The weekly state ment of the bank 6f England shows the following changes: The total reserve decrease 211,000 pounds, circulation increased 64,000 pounds, bullion increased 68,385 pounds, other securities increased 728,000 pounds, other deposits increased 230,000 pounds, public deposits increased 2S5,000 pounds, notes reserve decreased 192,000 pounds, and government securities were unchanged. The proportion of the banks reserve to liability this week Is 47.22 per cent, compared with 43 per cent last week. The early strength and dullness resulting from a cessation of short covering was followed shortly before the noon hour with the announcement of the adjournment of the Harriman hearing. The fact that the hearing ended so far as New York is concerned stimulated the market and allayed the pessimistic wave temporarily at least. One of the early advices from New York was that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are closing up all their syndicates, following closely the policy adopted by J. p. Morgan & Co. some time ago. This is the banking house which floated the big Pennsylvania $30,000,000 and other short note Issues recently. It is also the house which has financed the greater part of the Harriman deals. The rumor that Reading Is soon to issue some short time notes has again been circulated. Although the company's officials refused to confirm the report and discredit it to a large extent, it is believed an issue will be made, providing an arrangement for floating it can be arranged. It is understood that a New York house has been figuring on an Issue of between $7,000,000 and 510,000,000 for the company. Lawson is out with a bull tip on St. Paul and the probabilities are that St. Paul will sell at ISO tomorrow. Lawson says it will sell at 163 by next Wednesday. T00 LATE TO CLASSIFY. Mrs. C.

0 PAPERS West Hammond Board Finds Shortage of $700 and Public Documents. ORDER IIESIIGSTII President Withholds Contract for Sever Construction and Contractor's $25,000 Bond. Several hundred dollars has gone astray out of the treasury of the village cf West Hammond. Two other things that are absent from their propper custodian are the contract for the construction of the West Hammond proposed sewer system and the $2." 000 bond of the contractor. rri. . . j-ue latter two documents can be ac counted for, as Peter Mak confessed to having them in his possession, but the $700 cold cash is missing in the utmost significance of the term. The meeting of the board last night was not altogether a peaceful one of the littlo children love one another character, but pretty orderly for West Hammond. President Mak was in the chair. All of the members were present and the only absentee was Village Attorney Markman, whose children are sick and who was present in the spirit if net in the flesh. Attorney Markman by means of a communication addressed to the board and which was read by the clerk, wanted to call attention to the absence of the $700 which he said represents the returns from the seventh installment of the old sewer assessment. Treasurer Falls to Account for it. Joseph Goyke, the village treasurer, was questioned and failed to account for it so the matter was turned over to the committee on finance for an immediate investigation. This is to begin tomorrow. The members of the committee havo hopes cf locating the money and thus hush up a scandal. They claim they have confidence in its being nothing more than a clerical error. Goyka himself says the matter can be straightened out without doubt. After this subject had been dropped the stormy part of the meeting began by Alderman Winchowski, asking the board of local improvements when the new sewerage system was to bo started. Frank Green then took the floor and explained that the work would probably be begun at once, but he was net able to say this poatively as he had only seen the contract once and then had not read it very carefully. It then developed that since the con tract had been signed, President Peter Mak instead of leaving it at the village hall with the clerk for public inspec tion, has kept it in his home and refused to let any one see it. A motion was made and carried that Mak have tho contract at the village hall this morning and place It in the hands of the clerk. Mak said he would do this, but by noon he had not yet shown up. Ilond Also In Mak'ti Possession. The $25,000 bond that was given by Contractor Healy of Chicago, is also in possession cf Mak, when it should be at the clerk's office in the village hall. Mak was roundly criticized for with holding these documents, but resented the criticism with forcified language, "Say, whe is running the village and who is presiddent, I'd like to know," demanded he. The members laughed Ironically and Mak went up in the air. The board of local improvements was authorized to see that Contractor Healy begins work at once. It developed that Healy is In Hot Springs. John Yorck, one of the aldermen, got up and offered himself as a sacrifice to go to Hot Springs and bring the man back with him. This proposal met with laughter and on a motion the meeting was closed. M. P. Shervvln, general passenger agent of the Erie road, accompanied by several other officials of the road, are In Hammond today In their private car inspecting the work being done on the Erie's new coal storage plant that Is being built at the foot of Sohl street. The new plant is being built by the Fairbanks-Morse Construction company of Chicago and the structure is now half completed. An other gang of laborers from Chicago are expected in Hammond tomorrow to work at the plant in order that the plant may be completed by the first of May. The Chicago, Cincinnati Louisville road has been notified by the Erie road to have its connections at the H. Y. tower completed soon as possible and as a result the C C. & L. has an extra gang of seventy-five men working at the Erie yards today. According to information from the Erie officials the C. C. & L. road will run its trains over the Erie tracks to the state line until their tracks are completed. The pro ject of giving Hammond a suburban service Is still in the minds of the officials of the road and is being seriously considered as a possibility, although nothing definite can be said on the matter. In speaking of the new depot, R. P. Dalton, general superintendent of the road says: "Construction will be begun just as soon as the company lias its road runing so it would be able to bring in all its material to be used in the building." Progres son the road is going fine and the officials expect to be in Chicago by April 1. TIIE I.AKE COUNTY TIMES vrould rather give something tor nothing than get something for noth'mg.
