TIMES BCREAV T THE STATE CAPITAL
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 25, 3 p. m. Tlio Indiana gravel road law, including
11.; three-mile provision, is valid, and turnpikes may be build lawfully by
taxation. The supreme court held this t"day in the case of Samuel Smith against the county commissioners of Hamilton county. An opinion, it is remembered, was announced in November declaring the law unconstitutional, but a rehearing .was granted and the court today reverses itself. The opinion in November caused alarm among the bondholders, and it was said was causing great embarrassment for many banks of tho state that had money tied up in gravel road bonds. A great amount of Improvement work which had been halted may now be con
tinued. The opinion today was written by Judge Hadley and concurred in by Judges Montgomery and Myers, Judges Jordan and Monks dissented.

She was fully -dressed as though sfce intended to go somewhere. When the family moved to Irondale several weeks the husband went to

In the meantime, however, the wife wrote to her husband asking him to come home saying that she did not feel well and that she did not want to be alone. Last Sunday she came to Robertsdale to see Father Benedict, and toM hr

Mayor Becker Considers a
Plan Which Is Counted as Splendid Idea by Those Own Property on Hammond's Main Highway.
It Is understood that Mayor Lawrono
Becker is considering the matter of
extending Hohman street smith
the point where it intersects with the
ouruni roaa to tne little Calumet rlvor
and on southward to the Ridge road.
lnis is a splendid lda in the oDin-
ion of those who own property on Hoh
man street, for It would open up that thoroughfare to the princiDal southern
country highway, the Ridge road, and
would add to the importance of this
street.
Fred Humpher, who owns a laree
amount of the pronertv on tho Taot
side of this proposed street said today
tnai ne would not remonstrate against
me opening of this street in the evt.

Mr. Humpher said that the openlne

TRIAL THERE?
(Special to Thb Times.) Crown Point. Ind.. Jan. 25. Judge A. J. Paulus of Marion is' in Crown Point today for the purpose of hearing arguments on the motion for a rehearing of the famous section ten case. A special finding of fact has been entered. A large number of lawyers from Hammond and Gary have gone to Crown Point to be present at the hearing. If Judge Paulus refuses to grant a new trial, as it Is confidently expected that he will, the case will either be dropped or appealed to the
court of the state.
It is expected, however, htat the hear
ing this morning at Crown Point will end the matter and section ten will be
opened up to settlement.

over with a plub and had taken her
tnrough the woods in the rear of the Reid-Murdoch plant under the pretense
ot Deing a constable. Hill is also said to have hn imnii

ture. It is said, however, that thf. nth
crimes were not reported for the reason
