GODDARD WILL GET The divorce case of Albert Goddard vs. Beatrice Goddard. which caused such a sensation In Gary when it was filed, has been practically decided and the divorce will be granted when ai additional witness is brought In to establish the non-residence of the defaulted defendant.

The co-respondent in the case is Steve Quinn, formerly assistant manager of the electrical department of the plant. Quinn Is now in Iola, Kan. It was charged In the complaint that Beatrice Goddard carried on a correspondence with Quinn and concealed the fact from her husband by renting a lock box in the Himmond postofflce. It is charged further that she went to Kansas City to see Quinn and following her return from Europe, where she had been sent by heV husband, she met Quinn before she met her husband. Judge Kopelek tried the case. JUDGE BECKER BEGINS CRIMINAL MS HON. Walter Gibson, Gary Alderman, Put on Charge For Bribery.

The defense will be represented by Attorneys McMahon & Conroy. Attorney Conroy promises that he will reveal some of the intrigue that is all leged to permeate the atmosphere of j the court of T. E.

GOLLfiR BROS. PARADE

REVEALS CHARACTER OF SHOP

The Gollmar Bros.' show, which ex hibits In Hammond tomorrow afternoon and evening, features everything connected with it. from the street parade to the concert. The press of other cities have made only the most favorable comment for Gollmer Bros." parade. Even when the show visits territory where it has never been, its magnificent street pageant so agreeably surprises the public that they are sure to crowd the immense lents. It is in the parade that the management of a circus can show to good advantage the stability and character of the aggregation. If it Is a cheap concern, giving only ordinary performances, its parade will tell the tale. Tf it is really meritorious the street display will demonstrate the fact. The

Illinois supreme court decision on the precise question involving East St. Louis, in which the court ruled against the city plan. Furthermore, the promised assistance from the state's attorney's office is said not to be encouraging in the quo warranto proceedings.

"We don't like to go into these casea unless we can be reasonably certain of victory," Is a statement accredited to the state's attorney's off flee on the question. Apparently the sentiment in West Hammond Is in favor of the city form of government. Such at least was the indication at the initial meeting of the new administration a week ago today. Until the question is decided in the courts, both bodies of officials will continue to hold meetings. Each is to hold a meeting this even ing. There is some question, however, whether the village board can muster a quorum, because some of its members are known to be for the city form of government, too. Ignatz Man. kowskl, who is the clerk of the village and for the city, is expected to cast his fortunes with the city. Should that be the case, the village board must' appoint a clerk rro tern, and do without the minutes of the previous meelngs. Filed in Superior Court. 7474. Room No. 2.

The horses are in fine trim, and the tableaux, wagons, dens, cages and chariots are resplendency decorated with costly carvings, gilt and varnish. An unusually large number of dens ares open In the parade, and the general public Is given a free exhibition of a fine array of wild animals.
