Case will take the rest SEEMS LIKE HOPELESS TASK It is becoming more and more of a hopeless task to get the jury In the ease of the state of Indiana vs. John Caldwell In the Gary payroll conspiracy cases. It was thought yesterday that the Jury would be secured today, but the state threw out a number of veniremen that had been accepted by the defense and now another venire will have to be callecj. It has now taken seven whole days to get the Jury, and It la feared that the case will not go to trial until Monday of next week. The case is attracting considerable attention and the courtroom is filled with spectators at times. OLD SUIT DECIDED. Judge Virgil S. Reiter of the superior court and L L Bomberger ; who was formerly a partner of Reiter's, received word ten other day- that the appellate court of Indiana had affirmed a judgment for $5,000 in the case of Harris vs. the Inland Steel Co., which they tried together. The first time the case was tried a verdict of $3,600 was secured from the Jury. A new trial was secured and the second jury returned a verdict of $5,000. The Inland Steel Co. appealed and the appellate court has Just affirmed the Judgment of the Jury. EARLE GETS INJUNCTION George Earle, the owner of thousands of acres of land around Hobart, Lake county, today appeared in the Lake superior court by Attorney McMahon & Conroy and asked for a tem-i porary restraining order to prevent Otto William Lange from removing sand and dirt from his property. The restraining order was issued without notice and a hearing was set for June 12 at 9 o'clock. Attorneys Crumpacker, Crumpacker & Tlnkham appear for Lange. .The defendant claims he has a contract which gives him the right to remove the sand.

the Lake superior court this morning, Thomas A. Crose and Eliia J. Crose seek to adopt Mildred Cecil Dufree, a seven-year-old female Infant. The application Btates that the mother died June 20 and the father left for parts unknown and deserted his child. GARY & I. GETS RESTRAINING ORDER President Gavit Appears in Court on Behalf of Road. Frank Gavlt, president of the Gary & Interurban Railway company, ap peared in the Lako superior court this morning and secured a restraining order against the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric company to prevent It from stringing wires on the poles of the Interurban company. The order was lfsued without notice, for the reason that. If notice was given. the plaintiff alleges that the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric company would have time to string wires over two miles ,of the company's poles. The hearing on the temporary In junction will be held June 19, 1911, at 9 o'clock. The proceedings were started by. Attorney John Gavit of Hammond. Walter O. Saissline, a Gary saloon keeper, has starte.l suit in the Lake Superior Court to recover 250 from the city of Gary. The complaint merely states that the sum 13 due from the city of Gary and asks Judgment for tha amount. It Is understood, however, that the suit Is to secure the return of money which was paid out for a saloon license of May 4, 1911. The suit Is to be made a basis for an attack on the Proctor restrictive law. Acording to the attorneys who filed the case the legality of the ordinance which was recently passed by the city of Gary and which placed the license fee at $500 is to be attacked. A provision of the Proctor law requires that both the 'county and city licenses must expire at the, same time, namely May 1. Under the Gary ordinance, however ,a license might expire any time during the year. Jury Thanks Judge. Judge Virgil S. Reiter was the recipient of a fine compliment when the Jury which has been doing service during the May term thanked him for the consideration he had shown them. A. M. Dickson, one of the Jurors, addressed the court at noon today and stated that he had a communication to ofi'er. Bailiff John Agnew then presented the following communication to the court: 'Hammond, Ind., June 7, 1911. "To the Honorable Virgil S. Reiter. Judge of the Lake superior court, Hammond: 1 "We, the jurymen of the regular Ul, V I. 1 1 t I Awl I II J All I .

The contest was opened with a reso lution inroduced by Councilman Nich olas Lauer, which provided for the election of Walter Hammond as the next next school trustee. The republicans voted solidly against him, and Kane and Eastwood with them giving the candidate six votes for election and nine for defeat. Secret Ballot Defeated. Councilman Eastwood then asked that a secret ballot be taken, but Coun cilman Lauer was on his feet immedl ately, and from the ordinance book clt ed the rules of proredure. City Attornoy John Gavit Interpreted the rule that the voting was to be by "yeas" and "nays," he having been masked for the ruling by Mayor Kmalley. The latter then asked for nominations and five were made all together, but Councilman Arthur Schutz, who had proposed the name of Dr.. T. 13. Bell, withdrew his candidate's- name before the voting began. The roll was , called for each candidate's name in the following or.

McMahon. Stanton an Old Heslileut. Arthur S. Stanton has been a resi dent of Hammond for eighteen years and for fourteen years has been In the wholesale buttorlne business. He has a host of friends who are glad to sec him a member of the seljool board. He was given a huge bouquet by his friends In Kussmaul's cigar store this morning. Asked by The Times today what his position is relative to the lndustrla high school, about which there has been litigation, he said: "I have been In Hammond for eight een years, and my friends know that I am right. As a member of the school board I shall surely try to do what t consider to be to the best Interests of the community. I am not in a position today to discuss what I shall do about the plans for the proposed Industrial high school. The question needs study, more than I have given It so far, and because of this I cannot say now wha what I would have done at the time the question for letting the. contract came up." Mr. Stanton said that he had known for some time that his name was to be presented to the city council as a candidate and that he was to go In as a 'dark horse."

South Bend, Ind., June 7. The namo of the Rev. William Forney Hovis of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Memorial Church of this city will be presented to the General Conference at Minneapolis as a candidate for the episcopacy. Friends of the Rev. Mr. Hovis are hopeful that he will have the solid delegation from Indiana, and already have re ceived many such assurances. Dr. Hovis was born In Venango Coun ty, Pennsylvania, May 18, 1872, and his early training began In the cottage home out on the farm, where he was taught how to work and pray. Ambitious for an education, he deter mined to work his way through school. Almost before he was old enough to secure a license he began to teach In the country schols, and although he taught part of the year and went to school part, studying at nights and taking examinations on Saturdays, by the um he was 20 years old he held a professional certificate an dat the age of 21 he had a permanent certificate ' from the state of Pensylvania exempting him from all further examinations. Made Way Through College. By strenuous effort and close applica tion he made his way through the academy at Barkeyville, Pa., and Grove City, Pa., and finally through Allegheny College. Meadville, Pa., from which he was graduated at the age of 23, with high honors and the degree of bachelor of arts (B. A.). Three years later he re ceived from the same institution the degree of master of arts (M. A.), and only twelve years after his graduation was honored by ' his alma mater with the degree of doctor of divinity (D. D.). Immediately following his graduation at Allegheny Dr. Hovis entered the theological department of Northwestern crushed fruits. Ice creams and so prep arations being supplied the trade are prepared with artificial colors, it will be necessary to display in a conspicuous place on the soda fountain a notice reading as follows: The crushed fruits, fruit sirups, ice creams and soda preparations Berved her ara artificially colored.' The printed letters shall be at least one inch in hight, black faced Gothic, and shall be plainly visible from all parts of the room where goods are served. "The pure fod law prohibits the sale of goods which have been artificially colored, where such color is used for the purpose of making the product ap pear better or of greater value than it really is, or of counterfeiting the ap pearance of natural food products, and goods so colored can not legally be sold except when declaration of that fact Is plainly made."

WIT TO PUT WHO 01 THE MAP

"We must do something to make the Indiana society sit up and take notice when the special train comes through Hammond the latter part of this month," said A. M. Turner, a promi nent member of the society, yesterday Mr. Turner has some very original suggestions which will be taken up and worked out. Among them Is one to the effect that William Thum imper sonate President William 11. Taft and welcome the members of the society to Hoosier soil after they cross the line John E. Fitzgerald thinks it would be a great stunt for the people of Ham mond to erect a temporary triumphant arch over the Monon railroad tracks at Hohman street so that the entrance in to Indiana territory might be duly marked. It Is a come back home trip, you know, and anywhere on Indiana soil Is "home" to the expatriated Hoosier. Naturally the enthusiasm will be great when the Hooslers cross the IndianaIllinois state line and find themselves back in God's country For this reason some of the leading business men of the city think that some suitable stunt should mark the entrance Into the state of the special train In all of the cities along the route of the Monon railroad there will be original "stunts" done to welcome the visitors, and the Hammond business men are determined that Hammond shall not be outdone. One suggestion Is that some one lm personate Governor Thomas R. Mar shall and welcome the sojourners to Indiana. Another suggestion is that an effort be made, to induce the gov ernor himself to come to Hammond and personally welcome the Indiana society to the state, Suggestions will be gladly received and should be made to A.
