The regular bi-weekly shoot for the

Hammond Gun club yesterday afternoon at Sharpshooters' park brought out on of the largest number of competitors that the club has had this season.

September, and the state baa a great deal of evidence to lay before It. "There is so technicality in the law that was the cause of the release of the defendants in the reoent cases tried In the city court. "Judge Cravens said, in rendering his decision, 'I don't believe there is enough evidence to convict these defendants if these cases are tried before a Jury in the superior court. A condition which should never be taken into consideration before a magistrate who presides at a preliminary hearing in a felony case. Attorney Joseph Conroy. in his argument in defense of aBseo. said. "Outside of 'the evidence given by Chief of Police Austgen and Captain Rlmbach, I don't think there is sufficient evidence to bind over this defendant.' Conroy expected Basso to be bound over. If Anna Zimmerman had not testified In this case there was sufficient evidence to cause these defendants to be bound over. As in many cases, circumstantial evidence is the only available evidence, especially so when the defense puts no evidence before the court contradicting the testimony that has been given by the state's witnesses."

ing to them one of the most demoralizing influences that could be brought to the city. On the other hand, those opposed to what they termed "feather duster reform" said that the pictures were no worse than open saloons on Sunday, and that some real reform work could be done by barring the youth from a court room where such evidence as Annie Zimmerman gave last week could be heard. It Is understood that the members of, the police board had decided not to take any steps against the exhibiting of the fight pictures unless there should be serious complaint from the citizens of Hammond. When the ministers of the city made their complaint it was seen that action could no longer be deferred. Chief Austgen was notified of the action of the board, and he at once communicated with the managers of the various theaters in the city in which moving pictures are exhibited. Some time ago Brooks' vaudeville house exhibited what purported to be a reproduction of the fight at Reno. The pictures were a fake, however. One interesting feature about the order of the police commissioners is that it will probably prevent the exhibition of fight pictures In this city for some time to come.

gracefully about the stage. Other performers who gave a good account of thmselves were the Hermans and Merodia troupe of bicycle experts who fill the two stages with pretty girls, cute children and daring riders. Tharleron's dogs and ponies are great and pleased all. The Enos troupe of globe performers perform wonderful stunts on rolling globes. The Reuzettas are a clever gymnastic duo. Kelly and King are a funny aerial artists as well as daring performers. The LaMont family and the Sutton troupe of lady acrobats are the best ever seen in elephants. The big aerial acts include the eight Delnos. the three Rutherfords, the four Tasmain sisters and the six revolving Vortex sisters. The Misses Connors. Clifford, Kelley, Miasco and Stokes are beautiful girls who ride thoroughbred high schooled horses in a fearless manner. The Carl Hagenbeek's trained wild animals perform wonderful stunts in a large steel arena and are fully up to the Hagenbeek's standard.

HAMMOND HEWS ;

Lake breezes yesterday made the last day of July enjoyable, and barely saved the month from being the hottest July In over thirty years. At that it equals, in weather records, the hottest record for the same month. The average for the thlrt-one days was 77 degrees, the same as it was in July, 1S05. Previous to 1905 the mercury managed in July to average several degrees below this mark back as far as July, 1S75, when the average for the months was 76 degrees. The temperature yesterday was highest at 72 degrees, at noon, and lowest at 67 degrees at 5 o'clock in the morning. The wind was moving fifteen miles an hourat 9:50 a. m. The hottest day in the month was July 24, when 97 degrees wasregistered. There were five other occasions when the temperature rose above 90 degrees, which was offset by a minimum temperature of 69 degrees on July 4. The record for humidity in July is still 103 degrees, which was in 1901.

It is not expected that the Hammond Brewing company will begin bottling beer for about three weeks. While the bottling plant is completed all of the machinery has not been set up. and it is expected that it will be some time before this department will be in operation. The first brewing of beer began Saturday, and about 150 barrels were brewed. Fred Carter, the manager of the local plant, stated today that the demand for Hammond beer is so great that it will tax the capacity of the local plant to supply it. Now that the Hammond plant is in operation the work of dismantling the Crown Point plant will begin. It is

expected that in a few weeks the plant of the old Crown Brewing company will be a thing of the past.

PICTURES ARE BARRED FROM CITY Continued from Pair On.) city were unalterably opposed to the exhibition of fight pictures in this city. Say Fain Ideal Is Shown. Chief Austgen was asked by The Times for the letter containing the signatures of the ministers, but he held the letter to bo a confidential communication and refused to give it for publication. That the pictures lay before the youth of the city a false ideal was the burden of the letter. The news that the pictures had been barred was a subject for discussion in the business district today, and was received with a marked difference of opinoin by some people. Th4i demand of the ministers and the decree of the police commission was held by some to be eminently proper, the pictures be-

BOUND OVER ON SATURDAY

In the trial of Mrs. Star Martin of Hammond, charged with bigamy, at the city court in Michigan City, she was bound over to the Laporte circuit court. She was prosecuted at the instance of Lincoln Felker, her legal husband. Mrs. Felker claims to have been of the opinion that a divorce had been granted to her in spite of the fact that the records show the case to have been dismissed. It is understood that the filing of a complaint by Attorneys McMahon & Conroy of Hammond asking that the marriage with the second husband be annulled was merely a step to head off the prosecution of Mrs. Martin on the charge of bigamy. This seemed to have little effect in the city court, where the preliminary hearing was held, and it remains to be seen what effect it will have in the upper courts.

Postpone Opening. Owing to the delay in setting the plate glass In the window of the West Hammond bank it will be impossible for it to open for business until later in the week. It will be necessary to get all of the books, fixtures and the safe into the bank before the auditor will be called upon to come over and count the money

on hand. It is expected that this will be done about next Wednesday or Thursday and then the bank will be opened for business. Puts 20 Men On Job. Manager Green of the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago line has a gang of 20 men at work today on the State street improvements which were announced in The Times Saturday. This means that at least a part of this work will be done at once. The men will attempt to complete as much of the work as possible this fall.

THE BIG CIRCUS HEBE ALL BIGHT

Splendid Street Parade Is Given and Monster Crowd Sees Shows.

The Hagenbeck-Wallace shows arrived in the city at an early hour Sunday morning on the Monon railroad from Rensselaer. Three trains are necessary to carry this immense aggregation of wild animals, horses, showmen, attaches and paraphernalia, and the task of unloading and placing all the stuff which constitutes the equipment of a show of such magnitude is a herculean one. It also requires a small army of workmen and they move about in a lively manner. As is always the case quite a crowd congregated at the railroad at an early hour to see the unloading. This is an interesting sight and the work is always carried on with precision and expedition. The work of erecting the big tents is another feature that attracts attention and there were the usual number of spectators on the ground to see the Hagenbeck-Wallace men work. Mr. Atkinson says the evening performance will be a complete one and not a stake will be pulled until the last number on the program is complete. The spectators were especially pleased this afternoon with the performance of Abner Jones and Jed MoCarty. They are marvelous acrobats and hand-balancers. Abner walks up and downstairs on his head, while Jed pirouettes

Pond Lilies In Lagoon. Jacob Fox, park commissioner, last Saturday planted a wagonload of pond lilies in the lagoon at Harrison park. Considerable work was involved in this, as the roots of each plant had to be tied in a bag containing a little ground, and each plant had to be planted separately. The plants had been uprooted with the same care and were procured in Lake George.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Aug. 1. Mayor A. G. Schlieker returned to East Chicago Saturday morning from Elkhart where he had been in attendance upon the Northern Indiana Good Roads association convention, held in the summer Chautauqua building in McXaughton park. Mayor Schlieker, who was the only rf presentative from the Calumet region, reported a very enthusiastic meeting and he predicts that much may be accomplished by the organization if it continues to hold the interest of its members as it is at present doing. Mayor Schlieker is a member or me cemmitteee appointed some time ago by the Commercial club of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago to represent the organization in the Good Roads association, and he was appointed at the first meeting as secretary of the organization committee whose report was printed at the time in this paper. One of the acts of the convention was to adopt the report of the organiiation committee. The morning was devoted entirely to the transaction of business and the completion of the organization. In the afternoon there was a program of mu

sic and addresses. A' very good epeech was made by M. 6. Eldridge of Washington. D. C. representing the department of agriculture. Secretary Wilson had intended to be present himself, out being unable to do so deputized Mr. Eldridge to appear in his Ftead. Mr. Eldridge showed a thorough understanding of his subject. Mr. Crabil of Indianapolis was present of his own violition and read a model bill which he has prepared for presentation before the state legislature, dealing with the question of good roads. He asked the support of the organization for his treasure. In the absence of Hon Aarpn Jones of South Bend, president of the a-o-ciation, "Vice President Lemuel Darrow presided. Mr. Darrow stated the object of the meeting, his recital being followed by music by a ladies' quartet which varied the monotony of speechmaking by a number of selections. Hon. E. M. Chester, mayor of Elkhart, gave an address of welcome, to which L. P. Hardy of South Bend responded. State Senators BabcOck of Topeka and Powers of Angola were present, but thre were addresses by State Senator Robert Proctor, of Elkhart, Hon. W. E. Wider of Elkhart and Dr. Rumely of Laporte.

GARY'S COT COUNCIL MEETS THIS EVENING

Gary's city council meets this evening for Its regular weekly session. Besides considerable legislation affecting street and sewer improvements the fol

lowing is some of the things that may be taken up: 1. There Is a possibility that the street car franchises may be dragged out to be dissected by the councilmen. 2. It is expected that a report will be made favoring the granting of a permit to the Gary Ausement park company to build a pleasure resort in the west end. 3. As the bureau of streets is entirely without funds there is a probability that the sum of $10,000 will be appropriated to carry on the work for the rest of the year. 4. Whether the city is re-districted and another ward added depends on whether the mayor and the councilmen can agree by tonight on the new councilman and the new councilman-at large. It is epected that additional petitions for street and sidewalk improvements will be laid before the city council.
