P.eiter yesterday, resulted in a verdict n favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant, Kahlman. The Jury went out late In the afternoon and did not return a verdict unWest Hammond Is enjoying a lull in the political warfare which has kept the village in a turmoil during the past eeven months, but the lull la to last only long enough to permit the fighters to catch their second wind. The Issue Is still on the form of government for the community, the factions being divided between city and village followers. The city faction is fighting on the offensive, while the villagers are on the defense in a death struggle to retain the berths they have made for themselves after long years of political machinations. Wrlth the ousting of the village officials, the taxpayers hope to tOmble down the works which they say Is founded on graft and mismanagement. Statu Unchanged. The status of West Hammond today is exactly what it was seven months ago when Miss Brooks set her heel on the graft dragon, there being only this difference, that M'est Hammond today is awake to its possibilities after having gone through a campaign of failures. The city faction feels that It must begin at the very bottom, and as a prerequisite has West Hammond properly chartered as a village and to build up from there to a city through a special election. There is no question but what the charter will be received In due time. The question then arises will the present board sanction a special election, which may mean the vacation of the respective village offices. John Hessler, the village president, and Henry Frltsehe, one of the trustees, are known to be unalterably opposed to the city form of government, but a majority of the village trustees can overrule the president's veto. The four trustees that are being banked on to sanction a special election are John LAKE WOODS PARK Clark Road & 15th Ave., Qsry, ind OPENS JUNE I5th with THAVIU gj. BAND and 100 Attractions.

Trustee Murray Is being counted to some extent by the more optimistic in the city faction, and with him there would be one vote to spare on the question. HIMITZ UNDER NEW INDICTMENT IN CITY The case of John Nimetz of Black Oak, who has been on trial in the criminal court In Chicago before Judge Lockwood Honore, was concluded rath er unexpectedly today when the In dictment agairist him was declared raulty and he was remanded to Jail pending the drawing of another In dictment and the furnishing of new ball. Nimetz was arrested nearly a year ago on the charge with being one of several conspirators who stole automo bile parts from various factories In the country and sold them. Employes of the factories are said to have stolen the parts and Nimetz is al leged to have placed them on the mar ket. He is charged with dividing the proceeds with his alleged co-conspira tors. That the prosecution will be pressed to the utmost is shown by the fact that the automobile companies which are alleged to have suffered are back ing the prosecution In order to make an example of the guilty parties. It is not known when the new case will go to trial. Nimetz Is one of the well-known residents of Lake county and is said to be wealthy. Why he should have been tempted to enter Into such a conspiracy, if he did so. Inexplicable? is MOTHER IS MISSING Mrs. Agnes Hozarvich, who lives In one of the company houses at the Standard Steel Car works, has been missing since 9 o'clock yesterday morn Ing and has not been seen since. She lived in the company house which burned down last Saturday night. Why she left no one knows or has the Idea where she has gone. She leaves three children, three, two years old and a baby five month old. She has a dark complexion, five feet five Inches high, wore a black skirt an white shirt waist, and is 26 years old.

Exit of Umbrella Mender. George Grane was arrested by Officer Miller yesterday afternoon at State and Hohman streets for drunkenness. He was released by Chief Austgen this morning and promised to get out of town. Grane Is an umbrella mender.

Roberts Is Fined. John Roberts, who was arrested and tried before Judge Prest yesterday aft ernoon, was fined l and costs, which was paid. His wife, Dora Roberts, harged him with assault and battery. Racing Pictures Coming. Manager Reiuy of the Princess the ater expects to have the pictures of the races at Indianapolis on or about the 13 th of the month, when they will be released. Owing to the fact that cars will be In view most of the time, it Is expected hat the pictures will be more interestng than any racing pictures that have been shown here recently. TIMES' BI REAU, t AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis. Ind., June 1. Edwin M Lee, Republican state chairman, is going to Washington In about two weeks to have a talk with President Taft on political matters in Indiana, and his friends believe that he will be able to convince the. President that he ought to be elected chairman of the state committee for the presidential campaign next year. In fact, that is why he. Is going to Washington. Mr. Lee believes that he is entitled to another chance at the Job and he also believe that President Taft will be satisfied to have him re-elected. All of this, so it Is said. Is based on the idea that Taft Is to be re-nominated for President by the Republicans, and Mia t he ought to have something to say about who shall manage the campaign in the different states. Of course, the nominee for president will nam the national chairman. That Is always the rule. It Is pointed out that giving Tatt an opportunity to have something to say about the various state chairman ships la merely an extension of this rule. Mr. Lee has been making a careful canvass of the state during the last few months, lining things up, or trying to. in his own behalf. He has visited practically every county In the state and says he has talked with Republl cans all over the state, and that he feels that he will be able to have himself re-elected state chairman. Up to this time no other name has been heard as a formidable candidate against him for the place, but, of course, the election is a long way off, and there may be any number of others In the race for the position before the state committee Is reorganized next January. In going to Washington, however, Lee will show that he is In earnest In his candidacy, and he may thus be able to head off some aspirants, if any there be. While Lee's friends believe he will be able to Induce President Taft to agree to his re-election as state chair man, there are others who are not so optimistic about It. The latter point out that Lee Is the representative of what has all along been known as ths insurgent element in the party, and mat tne regulars, or stand patters, aro not likely to agree to his heading the state committee through he next cam paign If they can help ft Lee's position in the matter Is that he was the state chairman in a campaign in an off year, and that, therefore, he ought to be en titled to serve as state chairman through the next presidential cam paign. He says this has been the prac tice always in all of the state, and that there is no reason why it should be different now In Indiana. Lee has been using this argument In his travels over the state, and he says that most of the Republicans agree with him. But some of the regulars take the position that even though Lee was chairman during the state campaign this alone does not , entitle him to further recognition along that line They point out that at the election in which Lee was state chairman the Democrats carried the state, and they are afraid he might not do any better next year. Lee Is a hard worker at the political game. And he is keeping at it through the vacation period, leaving nothing un done to keep the party In as good shape as possible for the next campaign. It is pointed out that even If Presi dent Taft should happen to give hi consent to the re-election of Lee as state chairman It would not necessarl ly mean that he would be elected. The whole thing will depend on which ele ment of the party controls the nex state committee. If the insurgents con trol the committee they could re-elec Lee without -any trouble. If the old guard controls the committee it is no believed Lee could hope to be elected evert If President Taft were to give hi consent. It is not expected that Pres! dent Taft will Indorse Lee for the place and It is not believed that Lee hopes fo that much. But there aro some who say that Taft might tell Lee to go ahead and make the race and be elect ed if he can, and that if elected'he wil not offer any objection. ' He might tel him that It is an open race and that Le has as much right to be a candidate fo the place that any other man has. But that Is about as far as he Is expected to go. lh state committee is always or ganized in January preceding the elec tlon, and It is made up of a m?mbe from each of the congressional districts

of the state, who are elected at conven- J tions held in each district. The state chairmanship next year It :

day: "Manufacturers do .not expect yesterday, where they have been visitany marked improvement In business ln friends since Sunday, as a result of reduction In prices of, Mrs- F- Detrick and son. Herald, will

finished materials. They are not willIng to grant, however, that there will ' be further reductions In plates, shapes) and bars, which are confidently expect ed by buyers. Some of the companies are conservative about making contracts. Immediately preceding the announcement of reductions in bar prices the Republic Iron and Steel company booked considerable business guaranteed against decline, but little business has been done since the announcement was made and specifications are not t coming in. "The American Bridge company's bookings for May were somewhat better than normal, but fabricating and erecting prices are extremely low. At a lengthy meeting of steel manufac turers in New York a considerable part of the time was devoted to the discussion of labor conditions, with a view to possible reduction of wages to conform with lower prices for finished materials. The steel corporation took a firm stand against wage reductions. The outlook for the placing of rail orders by western companies is more
