For the first time inr four years the
federal court will pass its semi-annual term in Hammond, and Judge Ander
son will not come to this city. The de
cision not to hold court here came as
a result of an inquiry that was made
by Charles Surprise, deputy clerk of
the United States court, among the
lawyers of the city as to their disposi
tion to try cases.
There were eight cases that might
have been tried at the coming term of
court, Oct. 18, but in only one of them was the attorney willing to go to trial.
This fact was made known to Noble
C. Butler, clerk of the United States
court, with headquarters at Indianapo
lis, and Butler communicated the facts
to Judge A. B. Anderson.
Judge Anderson then stated that it would be unwise to put the govern
ment to the expense of calling a feder
al jury and that the term would be
passed. The terms of court' in Hammond be
gin on the third Tuesday in October
and April, and under the ruling of
Judge Anderson there will not be an
other term of the federal court until
April.

Several days ago the democratic headquarters staff had inserted in The Times an ad for fife and drum players. The result was an overwhelming number of applications, and yesterday Headquarters Secretary Bell called up and asked that ad be cut out. "We are being swamped with applications and these fellows that read The Times are coming in from all over the county," said Mr. Bell. "So please cut out the ad before any more come."

"When thought to be entirely extinct the treacherous diphtheria was found to have more victims in Hammond. At 174 Wilcox avenue Mrs. E. E. Frank is bed -ridden. suffering from the dreaded disease, while Mrs. George Last, 1S2 Wilcox street, is pronounced a diphtheria patient. Neither are con siderde seriously ill. although the quarantine is said to be strictly enforced. The authorities are unable to find any logical connection between these latest canes and the preceding epidemic. As will .be remembered, Conkey avnu was th first district visitd by the disease. In this vicinity six cases were reported as having light attacks, while one was unaccounted for, death, is thought to have been from diph. theria. Two miles from" this region came the next report. The case was that of Ellis Granger, 5G Hamlin street. Still proceeding towards the north the epidemic has paused at 'Wilcox avenue. The Last and Frank cases are under the care of Dr. Graham, who believes his patients to be past all danger and, in a condition for rapid recovery.
