I AMU CASES GOffi UP DULY Itl A FORMAL VM . ; . .
'The Tolleston and Miller annexation cases came up for pleadings In the Lake superior court this morning. ' This Is only legal formality and the actual trial of the cases will not take place until some time next term. In the Tolleston annexation case Attorneys Bomberger, Sawyer and Curtiss and Attorneys Hodges and Rldgley appear for the city of Gary. Judge John H. Glllett and H. M. Stanton, town attorney of Tolleston, appear for the town of Tolleston. In the Miller proceedings Bomberger,
i Sawyer and Curtiss appear for the city i of Gary, and the firm of Crumpacker &
Crumpacker together with Ora Wlld-
ermuth appear for the town of Miller.
I The Miller case is of great Interest
to the people of Gary, for the . reason that the city has been permanently en
joined from condemning certain prop erty for park purposes, and the only way the city of Gary can get this prop,, erty is by annexing Miller. It Is believed,' by those who hars looked Into the matter, that the annexation of Miller is likely to be so strongly opposed that the city of Gary may be unable to accomplish Its pur pose. . In the case of Tolleston, however it, is said that the opposition to an. nexation Is futile dwindling and many of those who remonstrated against an nexation have already asked to havetheir names taken from the petition. W. S. Gallagher, the leading oppo nent to annexation in Tolleston, Is confident that the citizens of that town will be able to curb the ambitions ot the neighboring city and that annexa tion will be prevented. :

The clause in the Gary & Interurban franchise reads: "And aball run over nald track through ran which ran to me other city ,nd aball carry passengers upon Ita through cara from aald town ot Gary to aald other city only." The Gavlt franchise prohibits any other line entering Gary from picking up passengers between Gary and any other city from which the line is built. "This would be a great detriment to all surrounding .cities as we:i as farmers along the route, who could not get on ears along route," says Seaman.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Kefo. 2S. East Chicago educators and students, as well as the public generally, greatly resent the change in decision regarding the East Chicago victory in the debate which took place last Friday night at Crown Point, as reported from Crown Point Saturday. The report was to the effect that East Chicago had won the debate by an error on the part of Mr. Cline of Streator, 111., one of the judges,
who credited Lester Ottenheimer with three points in rebuttal, when aa a matter of fact-young Ottenheimer was
not heard, in the rebuttal.
Principal H. H. Clark of the local
high school expressed himself freely
regarding the alleged error, and de
! clared that East Chicago would not
submit to any one-man decision, and that the only way East Chicago would recognize a reversal of the decision
would be for the judges to all meet
once more and consent to the change. This, It appears, would be Impossible,' as at least one of the judges. At
torney Joseph Meade of 33ast; Chicago,
destroyed his notes the morning for
lowing the debate, before any "error"
was discovered ,and Mr. Meade declares
that he does not beltieve that M
Courtright made any extensive notes on the debate. If he did, he failed to
see them. Mr. Meade In an interview this morn
ing expressed regret that anything or the kind should have occurred. "I am
sorry on account of the impression o
fraud that it leaves In the minds of the students. It is too bad that an
event of this kind jcannot be won fair
ly and squarely and allowed to stand
so without the breath of scandal attaching to the decision. What must the students" feel when a thing like this comes up?" questioned Mr. Meade. "They are bound to feel that some one has been 'cheated.' That the decision is unfair,- that the judges have been influenced' In their opinion, and the. cannot be blamed for so thinking, even were it not the case.
"A. decision should stand once ,it is made. An error alleged to have been discovered twelve hours or twenty-four

would agree to have only one or two
of the streets opened instead of three
ot them. irom tne present outlook, however, the matter wil have to go to
the courts for decision.
It is possible for the council to ac
cept the remonstrances and decide not to open up these streets or to lay them on the table, In which case the court will have to pass on the question of
the improvement. It is believed, however, that the councilmen representing the south end will still Insist on the opening of the streets while those from North of the Wabash will be as determined not to involve the property owners in such a heavy expense. The franchise matter will probably be discussed this evening, although It is not expected that there will be any definite action In the matter this evening. The franchise committee has been going over the three propositions that have been made to the city, but have not yet determined in their own minds which is the best.
