SITED
SEEIJIVORCE Three divorce cases were filed in the Lako Superior Court this morning by
Attorney I. Leon Gould of Gary. The
complaints in each case are brief. Nicolae Rodoin seeks a divorce from
Elizabeth Rodoin of Gary on account of her alleged ilegal nets with John Sandu. It Is related in the complaint
mat the defendant was sentenced to
Jail at Crown Point for her improper
relations with tho co-respondent. Thj
couple were married Nov. 10, 1906 and
separated Pec. 11, 1909. It Is allegel
that the defendant is now residing in Chicago with Sandu.
John Nedrea has begun an action against Rebecca Nedreji undter very peculiar circumstances as related in the complaint. The couple were married in Austria, Hungary, Feb. 10, 1908 and lived together for 10 weeks. Mrs. Xedrea said that she wanted her husband to go to America and promised to follow him there. It is charged that Nedrea kept his part of the agreement and came to Garybat that Mrs. Nedrea failed to keep, her promise. The husband then went back to Austria for the purpose of inducing his wife to come to America with him but he was unable to do so. In fact, according to the complaint, she refused to do so. It la on these grounds that the divorce is Bought. Joe Sander has brought an action against Pepl Sander, both residents of Gary, in which improper relations with John Popescu is given as the reason for granting the divorce. The couple were married Nov. 13,, 1910 and were separated April S, 1911. It is stated that the correspondent is now in Akron, Ohio.
able to get any of the lawyers to go to trial with the civil jury cases that were set for thla week, and so the jury was discharged. Civil court matters will now be considered for a week pending adjournment for the term. While Judge Kopelke will hold court at Crown Point for a few weeks longer he will not sit in Hammond, except as special Judge in a case, until next fall.

FREE DELIVERY FOR HAMMOND BETTERED
Efforts of Local Posto'ffice to Better Service Are Successful.
LEWIS IS SHORN OF HIS OFFICE
Chief of Police Albert Lewis has been
shorn of his office and today relin quishes it to his successor. Judge Vlr
gil B. Keiter tnis morning overruled a
motion for a new trial in the case which was begun against him a few
weeks ago. Pending an appeal from the de
cision of the Lake superior court Lew
is will not be permitted to hold office.
His place on the East Chicago police
force will have to be taken by--an
other man.
Free delivery for a large portion of Hammond that is not now served is an assured fact since Postmaster R.ichard Sehaaf has received an authorization from the postoffiee department at Washington to put on two additional carries and two clerks. There have been sections of Ham
mond which it has been impossible to serve with free delivery owing to the
fact that the force of fifteen carriers was not sufficient to cover, all of the ground.
Now, however, every part of Ham
mond that has walks and in which the citizens comply with the rules' of the service, will be provided with free de-
ivery. , Where Service Extendn. The service will be extended south
ward on Calumet avenue from Becker to Ames street and on all of the streets crossing Conkey avenue on which side
walks have been built.
Highland stroet will get the service
between the Erie and Monon tracks. Torrence avenue on the north side will get the service as far north as Adams street. In the Standard Car district Morton, Ames and Walter avenues will
be provided with the service, as will Field and Columbia avenues.
Assistant Postmaster Otto Rabe has
worked hard to get this extra service
and that the local office is to be con
gratulated is shown from the fact that every one of the 200 assistant, postmasters at the meeting of the Association of Assistant Postmasters of Indiana were surprised at the fact.
The large increase in the receipts of
the Hammond . office is believed to be responsible for the fact that the department loosened up and allowed the extra clerks and carriers.
The new service will be installed on
June 1, at which time all of the neonle
in the territory to be served are expect
ed to have private mail boxes up on
their houses and must meet the re
quirements by numbering their houses
and building cement walks.

struck by falling timbers.
The action was begun in the Lake
superior court this morning. The acci
dent occurred Pec. 24, 1910. The complaint alleges that the defendant was
in the business of wrecking cars.X
ine piainure was employed as a car
wrecker and was compelled to aid in tearing the cars to pieces. It is charged that through the negligence of the
company a piece of timber which was

particular -subject of inquiry was the disposition of a check for $2,750 paid
to Finneran by the Michigan Central railroad for its share of improvements on Plummer avenue in West Hammond. In speaking of this Mr. Finne
ran said:
"1 received the check and turned It
over to the attorney for the board of
local Improvements, who In turn re- i
ceived the village's bonds from the
contractors and gave them t me I in
turn gave them to the village treasurer. That transaction cannot be qjesticned. They did try to question my right to act as collector, but under the law I
had a right to do so until my successor had qualified."
board is pretty well divided on the question of whether or not to build the new school under the Hutton-Caldwell & Drake regime or of eliminating Cald
well & Prake and going ahead with the
construction of the building with other contractors.
It is this situation that makes the
coming fight all of the more interesting The question that will naturally be
asked by the citizens who are inter
ested in this matter is, "Are you for
building the school under the present architect and contractor or are you in
favor of advertising for new bids?"
May I'm Influence. In view of this situation and the
bitter fight that Caldwefl & Prake
made in the courts against the citizens' committee, it is possible that this
firm, through its attorneys and those
of its friends who have been trying
to see the deal through, will favor
one of the three candidates.
This serves to complicate the situa
tion. In soite of the denials that are
likely to enter into the matter it is cer
tain that the Industrial school question
will be put up to the new member of.
the board for his decision. And the new member may be able to cast the deciding vote.
People Interested. A great many people have disapproved of the manner in which tha
contract was made with the architect.
without competitive bidding. Others object to Caldwell Sc. Prake's connection with tha deal since there seems to be general dissatisfaction with the work this concern , did on the courthouse. It is a question how much this sentiment will be able to influence tha councilmen in the matter of the election of the new board member. There are other matters of a mora personal nature which ente"r into the consideration of this problem and it would not be at all surprising to see the council pick a dark horse as the winner in the school board race.

No encouraging report could be given out today about Hugh Murphy the seventeen year old boy who was taken with pneumonia after returning with the Hammond high school track team from South Bend a week ago Saturday.

Little Journeys with the Gas Man
No. 14. Ironing.
A single burner of a Gas Range is sufficient to keep four irons going one in use while three are heating. A sad iron heater, which is an inexpensive attachment, should be used over a top burner. This heater distributes the heat evenly and prevents the direct contact of the gas flame with the irons, which contact tends to roughen the surface of the irons, thereby shortening their period of usefulness. Then, too, it is possible to get the irons just exactly1 as hot as they are desired. Gas Range "Don'ts" follow, tomorrow. Northern Indiana Gas 3c Electric Co.

the field it is a matter of conjecture as to whom the combine will support. This Is expected to develop within the next few days. Board la Split. On account of the differences which have arisen among the members of the school board regarding the advisability of carrying on the fight in the interests of Caldwell & Drake's contract to build the manual training schools, the public in general is manifesting a great deal of interest in the appointment of the new members of the board.
Henry Blcknell is avowedly in favor
of letting Caldwell & Drake go ahead
and construct the new building under the supervision of Architect J. T. Hutton and of taking an appeal in the injunction proceedings which now prevents the board from going ahead. John F. Krost, on the other hand, thinks that the school board has dope enough to show its loyalty to Caldwell & Drake and that the Injunction proceedings ought to be dropped. He would then be in favor of re-advertls-ing for bids and going ahead with the construction of the new school. Dreexen Aon-Comtnlttal. Auerust Preesen has not made his
stand very well known and his opinion ' is a matter of conjecture. The Hut- ' ton-Caldwell & Drake combination seems to think that he is with them, j Fred Krost, on the other hand, seems to believe that Dreesen will stand with j him when the question of refusing to appeal comes up.
