CMtleman In Queer Hull. A sensation was created when It was
found that the board of public work' original contract granting the franchise waa missing. City Clerk Harry
man an dhe asked htm for It. But
Moose loaned It to Aledrman CastleCastleman couldn't produce It.
I guess I let It In my other suit
down on the farm." said Castleman,
"as he searched for the Important
document. "You know I sometimes
wear two suits and I guess I left it there. Now since you haven't got the original contract before the house you can't pass anything that you haven't
got before you."
Slipped to Kyfcofff
For a time everybody was upset.
The contract which the clerk had
'loaned" to Castleman and which was
now "on the farm" was not before
th house. At this Juncture somebody
whispered o Alderman Bowser that
Castleman had slipped the contract to
Commissioner of Public Works John
Nyhoft and Bowser left the council chamber and soon returned. Eventually the contract was ratified' without it
being at hand.
Following the meeting Alderman
Castleman called, Nyhoft Into Judge Wildermuth's private office. He soon emerged and flourished the missing contract.
'It wasn't on the farm," Said he. "I
had it all the time."
"No you didn't." shouted a bystander. 'You slipped It to Nyhoff.and he Just
gave It back to you." i
Commercial Club Rebuffed. As the Gary Commercial -club figured that no action would be taken last night none was present but Secretary A. D. Schaeffer. Earlier In the evening a communication was read from the club asking that the council refrain from taking action on It until some recommenadtlons could be made. This was laid on the table. A short time later Secretary Schaef
fer and Alderman Bowser got Into a
racket in the lobby. Bowser Is some
what 111 disposed toward the secretary
and they continued exchanging words as they valked Into the council cham
ber.
When the franchise was up on Its final passage Schaeffer asked Mayor
Knotts' permission to speak in behalf of the Commercial club. As the mayor was for the franchise he referred Mr. Schaeffer to the council, but he got no
sympathy from the majority.
FATAL FALL BEND
mm
(Special to The Tusks.) Whiting, Ind.. May 16. Joe Loyde, aged 35 years of Schrage avenue was visiting some friends of his last even
ing, who boards over John Kovacik's saloon at 119th and Center street. The evening being very warm the men entertained their visitor on the rear porch of the Kovacik home. The
group consisting of five or six of the boarders, had been spending a merry time laughing and talking, when Loyde-
looking at his watch said, "Well it is 9:30, I must go home now." H's friends had been urging him to stay longer, but in spite of their entreaties, he turned around to leave them. In
turning Loyde in some unaccountable
way went over the bannister, to the ground below, a distance of fully 25 feet, and struck his head on the cement side walk.
The men all horror stricken rushed
down stairs, and picked nim up. It
could be seen at once that he had been
seriously injured. A physician was summoned, and It was then learned that he had sustained a severe fracture of the skull.
Loyde was removed to his boarding house on Schrage avenue where he now lies in a very dangerous condition.
quietly awaiting his breakfast with, the other prisoners. ' . : The finding of, Delle has caused ho end of amusement at the police headquarters. Last Sunday night Joseph Snyder and D. H. Delle were arrested on a charge of holdup by Officer Sandow. . Yesterday morning when their trial came up In the police court Delle could not be found. His name waa called in the court and a search in the jail failed to reveal any person who answered to
tne name ei JJeai. as the name was booked. The fact of the matter was that Delle was in the police station all the time, but refused to be recognized as .the name of Deal when the jailer and court ' bailiff made the search. Snyder was dismissed yesterday morning for want of sufficient evidence and Delle's case will be heard In the
j police court this afternoon.

Comes An A Surprise.
The springing of the franchise was
quite a surprise Inasmuch as the Com
mercial club had undertaken an in
vestigation Into its merits and it was
generally published that no action
would be taken last night until recom
menrtations providing for mora adequate returns for the people could
be made.
IJoTvuer Takea Command.
Alderman Emerson L. Bowser start
ed the ball rolling by asking that the
committee having it in charge report
on the Geist franchise. Alderman
fight against the proposed extension and Schock waa for It. Burns claimed that a number of property owners
owning lots in the block, were opposed
Castleman, chairman of the committee
said that the members had not been
able to get together so he couldn't
report it out.
Bowser waa then successful In hav
ing the ordinance taken from the committee's hands and placed before the council. Thereupon Alderman Feuer sought to have the council adjourn b4t
he failed in this. Many Move 4e Adjonrn. It was then moved by. Bowser and seconded by Gibson that the franchise go on Its third reading. A motion of Alderman Feuer's that the franchise b laid on the table was lost as was another motion to adjourn. The franchise was then denounced by the opposition and another motion to adjourn was downed." All of Mayor Knotts' rulings were In favor of the franchise and had ha the mind to the adjournment could have been secured by the recognition of the chair. Alderman Feuer then secured the passage of a motion giving several recommendatlons the board of public works regarding the franchise. Just how the board can amend the con
tract which is now passed is quite a problem and since Mr. Geist has his
franchise he won't worry much about
recommendations. These recommenda
tlons embodied that the franchise In
clude:
1. Provisions to place city signal
phones on pole. 2. To keep the tracks clear of snow,
3. To readjust fares every fifteen
years. 4. To use the latest and most mod em cars. 6. To provide for universal trans fera.
6. Increasing width of double track
pavement from J 5 to 23 feet. 7: Specifying voltage limit.
8. Regulating urban and lnterurban
traffic.
9. To specify time tracks are to be
laid. The franchise was finally placed up
on its final passage and was carried
The case has been on trial for five
days. City Attorney John Gavlt or Hammond was in charge of the prosecution. He was associated wifi Charles E. Greenwald in the case. Th
defense was represented by W. J. Mc-
Aleer and Abe Ottenheimer.
Judge Reiter recited one incident
which indicates the manner in whico
Lewis attempted to evade his respon
sibilities In the enforcement of the law.
Warren Renne went to Lewis for
permisison to start a gambling house.
He was informed that there was noth
ing doing for him. And yet the evi
dence shows that Renne afterwards
opened a place in J. D. Williams' sa
loon and ran It as a gambling resort for
months without Interruption or inter
ference. Judge Kelter'a Point.
"While it is generally accepted as a well-grounded proposition of law that
a man has a right to do with his own property as he sees fit, provided It does not inconvenience or interfere with any one else's rights. Still, if
these two police officers were legally entitled to these fees. Chief Lewis had
not anything to do with them; that
was not his money; he had no right to
take it. I believe that under an In
struction of these statutes that these
police officers had no a right to take
hese fees. They were paid a regular salary and they were performing thes
duties under the pay of the city. Grant
lng that these fees were legally charged, these police officers had not anything to do with it except to turn it
in to the city. I believe the evidence
of Captain Marner in that particular and I am strongly convinced that there was an absolute agreement between these three men to split those fees. A
man is not going to accept money that
he didn't earn, without questioning it
"Now, there has not been any evi
dence introduced by the defense that
would warrant the court In concluding
that such steps had been taken as would
ordinarily be taken by a reasonably
prudent official to stop gambling. There
has been half a dozen or more places referred to,, and it has been admitted that rumors of gambling being carried
on at these different places had come
to the ears of the police departmen
and the chief. It is not the duty of
police officer to perform the duties of
a prosecuting attorney. It la his duty,
when he sees an offense committed to
arrest and prosecute, or obtain such
evidence as may be necssary for the
prosecutor to prosecute. When h
learns of violations of the law, either by rumor or otherwise, it is his duty
to investigate, not by going to the man who Is charged with the crime and
asking him to admit whether he I
gambling or not, or to tell him If h
was he wanted him to cut it out, an
let it go at that. That is not enfore
ing the law." Here is Chief Lewis getting $11
a month. While It is not In evidence
as to what the salary ef the other of
ficers was, still I assume that they were
not getting any more, If they were get
ting quite as much. They were not working for the chief of police; they
were working for the city of East Chi
cago, and there was no reason why they should divided the fees with the
chief of police.
Public conscience is a peculiar thing,
After things have run along a certain
line for a long perlor of time, the
general impression gets out that any
thing is legitimate because It has been
followed for so many years, and it I
not even questioned. It Is only when the public conscience Is aroused to the exegencies of the case that these things stop. My finding, then, is for the plaintiff, and there will be an order for an ouster.
Conscience Hurts Him. Failure on the part of Mayor Knotts to sign several ordinances resulted In a sensation last night when the one returning $187.50 to Henry Nierman, ' a pawn broker, who had a fire not long ago, and who decided to quit the business and who now wanta the' unused part of his license fee returned. Alderman Feuer gave Intimation of some crooked work. All of the aldermen save Feuer voted
to re-pass the franchise. "I can't vot3
for it," said he. "There have ' been
some strange things golngon and I can't compromise wfth my conscience."
Mr. Feuer will now have a chance to
tell the ordinance committee what hia
reasos are. . .
