It Is the accepted be.lief of the authorities that the activity of Helgeleln's brother In investigating the mystery of the former's disappearance led Lamphere to put the apparent willingness to talk, coupled with the respectability of his antecedents and hisown lack of perspicuity, has convinced many persons acquainted with the case that Lamphere either is not guilty or was at best a mere tool In the hands of the exceptionally intelligent and cold-blooded murderess.

Crowd Follows Vehicle as it Passes Up and Down Broad Police Enjoy Joke.

The firing off of firecrackers last night during the settling of an election bet caused the fire department to rush down Broadway, in Gary, In the ..direction of the report. When they arrived at Sixth avenue, panting and excited, they found one man wheeling another In a wheHbarrow, followed by a crowd with torches and flreorks, making merry. The firemen, composed of mostly police and voltmteers, ere enraged when they hustled out of the police station and down Broadway only to find that It was only the prank of several young men. Chief Martin, Sergeant Dowltng and several others were sitting In the station last night at 7:15, enjoying the warmth of the stove after a day's work In the cold, when suddenly several i shots rang out into the air. It was the old familiar fire alarm, and the police and several volunteers In the vicinity grabbed the hose cart and the chemical engine and dashed down the street without hesitation. As they turned north on Broadway they saw a crowd congregated near the Brennan block and here they supposed the blaze had started. A False Alarm.

Soon, however, several Roman candles were ignited and it was seen that the crowd was moving south. Then the men with the heelbarrow were sighted and Chief of the Fire Department Martin called a halt. What Chief Martin didn't say to the merrymakers asn't worth saying. He told them that in firing firecrackers they turned in a fire alarm whether they were celebrating an election bet or not. The man who lost the bet and was compelled to do the humiliating act was John Barber. From Fifth avenue, where the procession started, to the Wabash tracks, where they finished, a large crowd laughed at the unfortunate loser and the friends of barber continuelly "kidded" him. The winner of the bet who enjoyed the ride was Charles Wilson, who wagered on the election of Taft. All of the young men In the procession ere members of the General Electric club, whose headquarters are in the General Electric building, on Washington street, near Fifth avenue. There were nearly a hundred of them who followed the men down the street and helped to celebrate ' the event. Although the night was exceedingly windy and cold there was a large crowd on the street to watch the fun.

Those whose cases came up for trial were Attorney J. Glenn Harris, provocation; Attorney Robert Emmett O'Conner, provocation; David Johnson, carrying concealed weapons; and seven foreigners who were charged with filing false affidavits. The two attorneys and Dave Johnson were dismissed because there was no one appeared to prosecute them, and the foreigners were dismissed because the cases did not come under the jurisdiction of a justice court. Every one felt In a friendly disposition after the trial and the disagreeable features of Gary's first election will soon be forgotten.
