(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor. April 22. Thomas J. Dirbin. brother of Russell Dirbin, the seventeen year old Celina. O. boy who was killed Thursday .night while attempting to cross through a standing Lake Shore freight train, arrived in Indiana Harbor yesterday and took the remains back to Celina. Mr. Dirbin, who 1 a real estate man In th Ohio town, was accompanied on his way back by Hary Winters, the younjj man who was with young Dlrblu when he met his death. Young M:-. "Winters declared that the experience had robbed him of all wander-lust and that he was going back to his home city to remain for good.

Winters was rery much broken up over the incident and explained that he had not realized bere setting out on the trip to South Chicago, what a dangerous undertaking it was. ' -We got onto the right of way meaning to cross over and take a footpath that had 1 been told was on . th further side." said he. "On the tracks, we got hemmed in on both sides and by the glare of the many headlights in both directions, it looked as though there were a train on every one of -the network of tracks -: tbe midst of which we stood. Both oi us became alarmed, as in the. darkness we could not calculate on the nearness of the

We took the chance and the -result you know. "I could not feel worse had the boy "been my own brother. He was a ( fine boy, as fine a lad as I ever knew." Young Winters made no effort to restrain his tears. His grief was pathetic. The dead boy's brothers could not look at the remains, having been told that they were mutilated beyond recognition. Both "Winters and the brother were much exercised over the effect the tragedy would have on the dead boy's mother, who was prostrated with grief ' ever the news.

Sheriffs All Over State Are affected By High Court ' Ruling. ,

(Special to The Times.) ( Indiana Harbor. April 2 2. R. L. D. Glanebrook. of the lesat firm of Hembroff & G'.azebrook, yesterday received

a telegram apprising him of his success in getting a decision in the circuit court reversed by the supreme court of the' state, which 'is of great importance throughout Indiana. i The decision was rendered day before ; yesterday and deals with the collection of fees hy sheriffs as commission for; the sale of property on writs of execu-j tlon and also for the collection of fee bills other than their own. The ruling'

or the court establishes once and for all time the fact that sheriffs are en.

titled to no fees for such sales and col-' lection?. j Attorney Glaiebrook brought suit! while acting In the capacity of prosecuting attorney for Starke county, in behalf of the county commlsisoners to recover fees so collected and retained by Sheriff Andrew J. Ijaramore of Starke county. The defendants named were Laramore and his bondsmen. The action was before Judge Vurpil-

lat or Marke county circuit court, who

that that part of the law which

ed the collection of the fees at

all was unconstitutional. That neither the sheriff nor the county were entitled to such money. That, in' short. Justice should be administered without pur thase. The county therefore was no more entitled to the money than was the sheriff, but that those from whom the collections had been made might sue the sheriff individually for the return of such fees. The defense was represented by the firm of Beeman & Peters and Charles K. Peters and Glen I. Peters of Knox and by Harry A. Steis of South Bend. On the rendering of the decision Attorney Glazebrook appealed the -case and it was carried to the supreme court, who decided that the law was constitutional, which makes the money obtained by such collection , revertabie to the county.

Special to The Times.) Whiting, Ind., April 22. What ap

pears to be a queer hold up occurred

in Whiting on Thursday night. Yes

terday morning men going to work found a large quantity of blood on In

diana boulevard, between the i tracks and White Oak avenue and ra-

ported it to the police. The officers worked on it all day yesterday and H

was not until late last evening that

the key to the mystery was discovered.

It was then learned that it was John

Todzorlne, 45 ears old, of Schrage ave

n-ae, who was held up and also beaten

When Todzorme was located he was suffering with three pretty bad scalp

lacerations. He said two men were

coming down Indiana boulevard" with

him. and it was at the C. J. tracks that

they beat him up. and relieved him of his money which was $8.00. When ask

ed who these men were Todiornie said

he, did not know them, and being In

badly intoxicated state was locked ,ip

In the station, until this morning, when

he will perhaps tell the story of the

affair.

judges there was much anxiety, and

when Supt. W. W. Holllday came upon

he platform with his face wreathed in

miles all wondered what the smiled

were to bring forth

The first announcement was that

Prof. Lardner of Northwestern uni

versny did not appear, so owing to

there being only two judges present

there was a tie for second place, it be-

ng between Gladys Prltchard and Ed

na O'Hara. The reward for second

place was a silver medal, but having

only one on hand, he decided to pur

chase another one. after which they

will both be awarded. To Ahlgren

was given the gold medal. The re

mainlng three contestants, Elsie Trowe

Uye Manbeck and Frank Greenwald,

all tied for third place

The judges were Prof. Wright of

Lake Forest university and Prof. Far-

relt of Notre Dame university.

All the contestants did surprisingly

well and justly earned their rewards,

and even those who did not receive

medals are being rewarded by a large

amount of praise being given them for

their hard work they have done In try

Ins to get a reputation for their school

In Ahlgren Whiting feels that it haa n excellent representative and we can

go to Hammond confident or carrying

do they place In him

JOHN C. BULL DEMONSTRATING AND SALES AGENT

225 State St.

Hammond, Ind.

Times bireai-, at state capita!,. Indianapolis, Ind., April 22. It was Interesting to hear Tom Taggart. last night, discuss the story that Harry New had been selected by President Taft as his adviser in regard to all In

diana postofflc appointments hereafter. The story Itself created a great deal of talk. here, yesterday, from the fact that after it was published a dispatch was rrrelved from Washington saying that the story was denied at the White House. It is said that the White House emphatically denied that the president Intended to rely on the

advice of any one Indiana Republican

in regard to the selection of postmasters, but that he- would consult with a number of Republicans whenever he

had an appointment to make.

But. Mr. New, at the same time, gave

out an interview in which he confirmeJ

the first story from Washington. He said he has ben chosen as the adviser of the president on postmasters, and

that he would do toe work. It is now

up to New and the White House to gel together on their stories so they will be alike. ' ' " - Then Taggart, the king dors of the Democratic party, come up from French Lick and made a few comments. He said he bad beard the story about the

selection of New as the president's Indiana adviser. .

"Harry New has something of a job

on his hands," he said. "And if he Is able to get along with it and perform the duties;' assigned to him ..without

creating any friction he will be a good one. That is all he has to do just

avoid friction. You know, there is now on the market an oil for automobiles which lubricates them so well that a machine will run without any friction whatever. Now, If Harry New can do his work and make his machine ruh as well as an automobile lubricated with this oil he will surely be a success." This comment, coming from 'raggart.

is regarded as being expert testimony, because he has had all kinds of experience In parceling out Jobs and running a political machine. If anyone understands the difficulties which beset a man In handling patronage Taggart Is the one. Mr. New says in his interview that there is not much for him to do In the postofflce line Just how, because there

are only one or two places for which appointments are to be made In the near future. One Is at Knlghtstown, where action will probably be takei

within a few days. There is the usual

cramble at Knlghtstown for the office.

and New will have an opportunity

how his nerve In settling the row.

Taggart made another sta?.ernent last

ight that Is Interesting. A few days go a story from French Lick was pub

lished in the papers to the effect that

local movement had started to clean

up the "valley at Trench Lick ana West Baden and rive out gambling. The

story said that Taggart was behind the

scheme and that he was helping to

ush along the movement.

It was pointed out mat some years go Taggart's name was used exten-

lvely In connection with the stores of

gambling at French Lick, this being before the raids which were made under the direction of Governor Hahly

which resulted In the closing of the gambling casino on the grounds of the French Lick Springs Hotel Company, of which Tagart is president. His connection with this company gave people

material to talk about Taggart In connection with the gambling business at

French Lick. But since these arlds there has -ben no gambling in any of the property of the hotel company. A new hotel was built by Al Brown, directly across the Street from Taggart's

hotel, and Brown's plate became the gambling center of the whole place. It has been running almost continuously ever since. But the story from French

Lick the other day said that the gamb

ling at Brown's place and in all of the

other places at French Lick and West

Baden was to be stopped. It was point

ed out that It was Impossible to en

force the anti-gambling laws In the

valley, because no natives were ever

permitted to enter the gambling houses

and It Is therefore difficult to gathe' evidence, and even If evidence Is col-

looted it is impossible to get a Jury in

Orange county to convict anyone on a

gambling charge, because the great

crowds of guests at the resort hotels

make business gflood for the people of that community.

Since it was Impossible to get rid of

gambling In a legal way, the story said.

the people themselves and those who were In a position to do so were going

to voluntarily close the places. It saU

that Taggart had been instrumental In bringing about this decision.

Taggart was asked last night about this story, and he denied all knowledge of It. "I never heard of It." he said. "Are you behind such a movement?' he was asked. "I dont know a thing about it. "Is there any such movement on foot down there?"

"Not that I know of. I have never

heard of It."

So it does not look like Mr. Taggart Is taking very much Interest in any effort

to stop gambling rn the "valley."

One of the most Interesting pieces of

political Information that Jias reached

Indiana In a long time Is; the report that some Republican member of the Senate Is preparing to introduce a reso

lution calling for an Investigation of

the election of Senator Shively, of In

diana. and Senator John D. Works, of

California, who also is a former Hoosier. It Is not yet known' which Senator will Introduce the resolution, but It is said that it will come from

one of the Republicans who are sup

porting Senator Iorlmer of Illinois in

the fight that is being made to unseat

him.

Of course, the resolution, if Introduc

ed, will be based on the mystery of the

eight members of the Indiana legisla

ture of 1909 who were charged by John W". Kern with having double crossed him. He chargedjthat they were influ

enced by the brewers to vote against him and for Shively. Board hints at bribery were made, and the matter became a state wide scandal. However, nothing wasTBver done In the direction

of making an Investigation of the case,

and It was finally dropped. The details of the scandal are too well remembered

to ned any republication.

For a long time the story strained the relations between Shively and Kern,

but since both are now in the senate

the hatchet has been burled, and It wao the hope of the Democrats that nothing more would be heard of It. But If the Senate should happen to order an investigation It would scratch open fhe

old sores and there would be the dickens to pay In Indiana. 1

The inexperience of Tom McMahon, the Illinois middleweight, cost him a decision In his bout with Sailor Burke last night before the Twentieth Century Athletic club and gave the sailor a chance to draw. McMahon was willing and had a good wallop In either hand, but he

signaled every punch and was at a

loss to what to do In close quarters. He floored the sailor no less than three

times in the first round, each time with

a swing to the Jaw. The bell saved Burke. After that the sailor was care

ful and after the fifth round seemed to

be in command. McMahon tried hard, but couldn't land on the wily seaman In the late rounds.
