Hal ma Jacobsen the young Swedish woman who came to this country in fua.rch of her spouse and visited Hammond yesterday In company with Officer Hvvanson of the Hyde Park police station, is in this city.

Mrs. Jacobsen visited the dress day before yesterday terday Mrs. John Hanson, Jacobsen's landlady, .inform above adand yesWllO WHS m! the plice that Jarobsen had called at her home inquiring lor mail. He was accompanied by a girlish looking Swede woman, whom lie introduced as his wife. Mrs. Hanson having .seen the Other claimant to Jacobsen's name, showed her surprise and expressed her doubt. Jacobs. n asked her what she meant and Mrs. Hanson told him of Halma's call with her baby. Jacobsen. who is a handsome and Strapping blonde of a distinctly Norse type, blanched at the revelation of his former landlady and cut his visit short after denying that he had ever been married la Sweden. The young bride, meanwhile was sitting in an adjoining room oblivions of the conversation that was taking place between Mrs. Hanson and her ex-boarder. ;! Fii-tieloitN .IlrCKM. As Jacobsen was leaving, Mrs. Hansen asked to what address she should send hid letters if any came for him, and lie gave her a number on "West North avenue. The police invesfigated this and found that there was no such person as Jacobsen . ved there or had made any arrangements to live there. "I had not the heart to tell .the bride what I knew of Jacobsen," said Mrs. Hanson this morning. She seemed so happy and exhibited her wedding ring with such a show of pride that I con id not tell her her "husband" had deceived her. That would have meant two broken hearts instead of one. r.esldes. the other woman may have no claim on Jacobsen. who always seemed like a straight-forward, honest fellow. Still, no one could doubh the woman either. She certainly looked anything but an importer. In .the meantime the deserted wife and baby are with relatives of friends who formerly lived in the same town with her family. She will not give up her search for Erie, against whom she loyally refuses to believe any harm. JUDGE HiUHOI ASJPEAGEMAKER Advises Hasford Park Folk! to Patch up Their Ovm Differences.

Among the guests was Chief Shippy, and when the hour for the commencement of the exercises was at hand, and Mr. Hanberg was not in sight. Chief Shippy decided that they would have some fun with the commissioner and so the patrol wagon of the fifteen precinct was called into operation. It was hastily dispatched to Mr. Hanberg's home where the neighbors were thrown Into convulsions at the sight of the vehicle drawn up before the handsome home of their neighbor. The officers did their duty and brought Mr. Hanberg to the wagon where he was hastily conveyed to the hall, minus his necktie, which he carried in his hand. When he was ushered into the presence of the guests betwen two stalwart bluecoats, the applause was deafening. He pleaded that he had not had time to put on his necktie, but willing hands completed the job for him amidst great amusement. W. F. Whittlesley acted as toastmaster and introduced the speakers and in a few witty remarks told of the appreciation of the work of Mr. Hanberg by the residents of South Chicago. The first speaker was W. E. Colburn, M'ho on behalf of the business men presented Mr. Hanberg with a silver service of 297 pieces. Mr. Hanberg though taken completely by surprise, thanked the men for their kind words and their gift and said that he always tried to do the best he could for the people he served. Congressman James R. Mann addressed the gathering and was followed by Representative Coulton, Chief Shippy, Aldermen Perpa and Moynahan. Professor L. C. Morris and others. Mayor Busse tried to reach the hall in an automobile, which broke down as he was passing through the park system, and he was so delayed that he could not reach the hall. He telephoned his regards to the commissioner ami the business men present. The banquet was arranged by the Business Men's association and was a huge success. Mr. Hanberg has been responsible for many improvements through South Chicago and it was for this reason that the association made plans for a public testimonial to him.

Elaborate arrangements are being made for the annual state picnic, to be held in this city, Saturday afternoon. There may be some business done in the state house now, but that is altogether incidental. Most of the time and attention of the state house folk is concerned with getting up the arrangements for the state picnic. Bogus programs, humorous placards, striking invitations all show that some care and ingenuity have been spent in getting ready for Saturday afternoon's festivities. Not only those in the state house are invited, but every employee of the state, wherever he lives or works, is eligible to attend. A vaudeville exercise, to be participated in by the different state officers, each office to put on a "turn" is'to be the feature of the afternoon. At 6 o'clock an old fashioned basket dinner is to be spread out on the lawn, soon after which the crowd will come home. This is the second annual picnic of the state employes.

AIR THEATRE Harvey Brooks is Already Stretching Canvas for Outdoor Show.
AT THE BROKEN CORNER Stage Under Roof But Auditorium Will Be Covered Only By Canopy of Heaven. Harvey Brooks, the enterprising manager of the Grand theater, has a anlque plan for holding his shows in the open air during the hot summer weather. He has made arrangements with the owners of the property at the broken corner on llohman street and has already set the posts around which will be stretched the canvas to form the walls of a theater that will seat 1,500 people. This is twice the capacity of the auditorium in the Hodman opera house block and as the open air shows are likely to be popular. Mr. Brooks believes that he can fill all of the seats. The stage will be brought from Michigan City where Mr. Brooks started a theater some time ago, and there will bo additional scenery provided. The stage will be covered with canvas but the auditorium will have nothing but the starry heavens for a covering. Circus seats have vppii provided and there will also be reserved seats for those who care to have them. Mr. Brooks has provided some good shows for the summer months, and as all of the other theaters are closed he thinks he can make a success of the venture. There was a little hitch in the pro gram this morning when the police interfered with the erection of the walls of the tent because Mr. Brooks had not secured permission from the city to do so. The matter was soon straightened out, however, and the work will go right on. Mr. Brooks expects to have the show running by next Saturday. EAST CHICAGO WINS SUIT.

Several ribs were also broken and Smith was laid up with his injuries for several months. He began suit to recover damages in spite of the company's offer to compromise the case and has won.
