(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Dec. 16. The

Congregational Men's club held another of their "guest day" sessions last even

ing at the home of . Mr. and Mrs. A.

H. W. Johnson of Magoun avenue.

AbSut thirty guests were present at the opening of the program, which was

commemorative of the admission of Indiana into the Union. Songs and readings by Indiana men were rendered by members of the club and the spirit

of "Hoosierlsm," that pride of state reigns in every Hoosier's heart, was supreme throughout the meeting. The

Johnson home was nicely decorated by the judicious use of a few potted plants and ferns, and Mrs. Johnson proved herself a hostess of no mean merit.

The high school quartette and octette

rendered several pleasing selections,

while Miss Florence Lewis presided

with ease and ability at the piano.

Rev. Brown, pastor of the church, recited "That Old Sweetheart of Mine," and also presented an argumentative reading on "Indiana's Place in the Literature of Today." J. A. Parks and Everett Fisher presented papers on the

"History of Indiana," and "The Life

of Lincoln," which were well received. Miss Erma Marsden pleased her audi

ence by the rendition of two of Ri

ley's charming poems. Following the

program the ladies of the church served

dainty refreshments, after which the club adjourned until its next meeting on Jan. 5, when they will be addressed

by a prominent Chicagoan.

Frank Goodland was arrested, by the Gary police yesterday on a charge of

being' drunk. Goodland is a very famr illar . character in police circles,-' although he is known by several differest ! names throughout the county. Goodland Is one of the most expert- professional beggars in the country," arid his efforts to excite sympathy are nothing short of marvelous. The-beggar is probably the most depraved ' looking : man ever seen in the city and does sue- - ceed in exciting much sympathy enoug'h class of easy ones that he finds hanging

around saloons. . t Yesterday Goodland's stunt- was " to staird in the middle of the street1 car track just as a car was coming aloVifc. and compel the motorman to stop. Ite would then clamor on the car and ride until he was put off, making believe that he was insane. The man hoped in this way to secure a few nickels from the passengers. '"' i During the morning Goodland, as: he

calls himself, spent his time . in the saloons 'pretendirig that he was deaf and dumb. Whenever anyone asked him to take a drink, however, he responded so quickly that the bluff did not work very well. Goodland has been arrestpd , several times before in . Gary and

other. places in the vicinity. . ; .

Forty-fourth, street, was the victim o

an accident yesterday that might have

cost him his life, had his faculties no been alert. While assisting in the lift

insr of a one-ton niece if iron, his four

assistants were suddenly overcome by the excesssive weight and dropped the heavy steel. Fritz attempted to hold the metal alone, at the same time calling for help, but was also overcome.

In a half-fainting condition, Fritz was removed to the office of Dr. G. F. Bicknell, where the toes were amputated. He was then removed to his home where he is reported as progressing nicely.

The case of B. E. Linn of Gary,

which was started some time ago in Judge P. L. Fitzgerald's court. In which he was charged with trespass by his -former affinity. Miss Mary Brooks, was disposed of yesterday, the judge finding him guilty. The decision means that Linn does not own an equity in the property, as he claimed, and that the houBe was owned entirely by Miss Brooks. The case finished as sensational as it started, both admitting that they were bad and one trying to prove the other was the worst. The outcome of the case depended upon the establishment of the fact whether or not Linn owned a part of the house. In that case -he had a right to enter on his own property, if, however, he did not own any equity in the property, the woman had the right to order him off.

The decision in Judge Fitzgerald's

court may affect in a way the suit be

ing filed in the Lake superior court, in

wnicn Linn is attempting to recover or establish what he claims is his share in the property. Linn will pay his fine

and will be dismissed.

of the finest automobile roads in the

tended to the Little Calumet river, a distance of almost two miles. Besides this there were some streets opened

for shorter distances. This all shows

that the town board Is attending to the street opening, widening and extension

now while it Is time and when it can be done with much less expense than

afterwards. : ,
