J. F. Fletcher, United States postal Inspector of Indianapolis, " arrived In Gary yesterday forenoon for the purpose of investigating the rifling of a mail sack last week. Inspector Fletcher spent the greater part of the day at Indiana Harbor, where he Investigated the mall picked up by William Heckftr, who found the sack and Us contents. Although practically all the mail was rifled, it is not thought that much money was lost, only three registered letters were missing, but other letters of importance, although torn open, were not destroyed. Mr. Fletcher left again last evening for Indianapolis, and did not volunteer any information as to what steps would be taken In order to apprehend the guilty person. It will be remembered that early last week "William Hecker, who is a Gary contractor, but lives in Indiana Harbor, found a torn and rifled mall sack two miles south of the Lake Shore tracks. It had been placed on the post for the afternoon train, but was never taken aboard. "Whether the train missed it or whether somebody carried the sack . away before the arrival of the train, is at this time unknown. More Drunks. Although Gary Is dry, the police continue to bring in the drunks.' Three were found to be under the influence of liquor last evening and were promptly arrested. They said that they had been at Indiana Harbor, where they brought their supply. They were given a hearing before Justice Huber this morning.

Aren't you glad you stayed home yesterday and didn't take any interurban trolley rides. The TIME3' extra last night put the kibosh on about 1,000 Journal extras that came to Gary about twenty minutes after The Times' newsboys were on the streets. And just suppose wifie's Easter bonnet had been out In that 86 inches of rain yesterday? Have you got where you can afford to move than look at the strawberries that have appeared in the Gary markets? It is none of the Indianapolis News' business, anyway, what our Mayor Knotts thinks on the liquor question. Gary isn't particularly anxious to hear any more noises that listen like an ambulance gong for a while. Ah! ah! the baseball boys new suits will be here Friday. Lord? Well just hold your breadth till then." Why need the Marathon runners fear about the Calumet bridge. Let them swim across like they did in the good old Marathon days! Well, Mr. Manlove has one job sewed up that we hope doesn't cause him too much anxiety later on. The Gary bibbers are not bothering the Gary mothers half as much as the bibs. Gary's "Queen Esther" stars covered themselves with glory, and some rain at East Chicago last e'en'. Among those who worry the least over the new Broadway bridge is one E. H. Crowell of Crown Point. perienced by the contractors of Gary on outside work by reason of the wretched weather of the past few A. F.

TOLLESTON SCHOOL S HONORED (Special to The Time&) Tolleston, Ind., April 13. Both teachers and students of the Tolleston high school are a proud body today and justly so, for Superintendent F. A. Malmstone has received a communication from State Superintendent Robert J. Aley that he has accredited the school last Saturday. This gives the high school a desirable standing among the high schools of the state, and enables Its graduates to take the teachers' examinations after finishing a twelve weeks course in a normal school. This is the principal advantage the school derives from the promotion. Under the supervision of Superintendent F. A. Malmstone the school has been doing excellent work, and this induced Superintendent Aley to accredit the school. FEDERAL GOUBT OPENS Gary and Hammond Cases Are on the Trial Docket.

Production of Queen Esther at East Chicago Last Night Triumphal March by Fifty Little Girls Is a Feature.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind.. April 13. In spite of the most execrable weather that can be imagined, the cantata. "Queen Father." presented last night at Berry's theater, was greted by a large and enthusiastic audience. The performance Itself was voted by all present to hare fully justified them in braving the wind, rain and sleet they encountered to witness it. Notwithstanding it was the first night of the cantata, everything went off without a hitch and the promoters, as well as the performers should feel duly proud of themselves. Miss Mary A. Stope, in the title role, was charming and made her usual good impression on the audience. Evan Lloyd, as Ahasuesus, made an ideal king, while Don Rodgers of Gary created a most favorable Impression as MordecaL J. Roy Morrison, who impersonated the proud and haughty Haman, convinced his audience that he possesses a large fund of histrionic talent and merited the generous share of applause which which he received. Miss Pearl Townsend was superb in the dramatic part

CAUGHT ON THE RUN

"Confound the street doors they have in stories, office buildings and hotel entrances," said a letter carrier yesterday. "They seem to try to see how much timber they can get into them and then as if that were not sufficient they apply to them some sort of a device that grips them shut and it requires the strength of a professional strong man to open them. I am in favor of a movement that will result In Eane methods being used in building doors. I have asked architects and builders why It is that doors cannot be used that are light and easy to operate and I have never yet asked one that knew why the heavy awkward doors are neded. They say the only reason is that it became customary some time in the remote past and is still the custom. It is a fact that half the street doors to public places are so hard o operate that it takes ail the strengh of a boy 10 years old to open them. Tou watch when you see a letter carrier going along the street delivering and with his heavy sack he has a tussle and a struggle at many doors to get in and the same to get out. I am for light, easy swing doors." "Talk about mean men," said a cashier in a downtown bank the other day, "why one of our clients is so mean that he would make the meanest man on record appear magnanimous. "This fellow has considerable money. Although he never carries any of It with him, neither does he carry a check book, but Insists on making out personal checks on any piece of paper he can find. "For Instance, when he goes to the grocery store or meat market, instead of paying cash for his purchase, he tears off a piece of the wrapping paper and writes out his personal check. "Every few days one of these papers turns up at the bank and it causes us no amount of trouble, but we can REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Section 5-34-8 W Part E i RW M 1 acre. Benjamin B.

of Zerish, the wife of Haman. and the Farewell" duet between her and Haman was beautifully rendered. Mrs. Evans, as Mordecai's sister. Harry Glover, as the Begger; E. Everette Fisher, as the Scribe, and, in fact, all the other principals played their pans excellently. One of the most attractive features and which won generous approval was the "Triumphal March," participated in by about fifty Httle girls, who executed a number of pretty and Intricate drilis while singing. Little Irene Frances, as the Queen's page, made one of the distinct hits of the evening. The scene in which the king condemns Haman to death and Mordecai Is given the premiership was particularly striking and dramatic. The girls in the chorus were very pleasing to the eye in their Oriental costumes, and the robes worn by the king, queen, Haman, Zerish and Mordecai were especially royal looking. The performance will be repeated again this evening, and, if the people of East Chicago has any appreciation at all of dramatic merit, the theater will be crowded to Its utmost capacity. not get the old man to accept a check book." The messenger boy "Kid" strolled out into the residential district the other morning, when all good people are supposed to be asleep. He had a message for some sleeping citizen. He walked up to the house and pushed the bell. Then he watched for results. It was some time before a light appeared in a window at the top of the house. A moment later there was one from the second-story window, and in another moment other lights on the second floor became visible on the outside. The boy knew he was awakening the house from the top floor down. He peered through the glass door of the front door into the darkness as he heard soft and cautious steps coming down stairs. Then a light flashed in the hall and stayed on. There was a procession, the boy saw, coming down the staircase, and It moved with proper deliberation and care. At the head was a large belligerent looking woman, evidently a servant, back of her a few steps was a woman in a kimono, showing evidence of having rapidly turned of bed. Then above all the front force on the first landing Just making the bend, wax a man, his position suitable for directing the line of action. "Who is there?" he called out as the inside forces stood their ground half down the stairs. "Me a messenger boy," replied the youngster. With this assurance the man strode to the front of his command, opening the front door, after peering through, and personally conducted the remainder of the interview. "You ought to have a telephone, mister," said the boy. He looked as though he meant it.
