JUDGE RULES
A tilt between the lawyers in the Caldwell case, now on trial In the Lake superior court, finally led to a statement by Judge Lawrence Becker that hereafter the attorneys would have to hew to the line and that they would not be allowed the latitude that they had been permitted in the past. The court ruled aalnst the admission of certain testimony that Attorney Joseph Conroy for the defense, sought to Introduce. The idea was that the testimony was Irravelant and merely consumed the time of the court. Following' the testimony of J. W. McNamee, Walter Thomas, one of the alleged conspirators who turned state's evidence, was placed on the stand. Then followed Stoyan Eloff. It was Eloff'a testimony that caused the tilt between the two sides and resulted In the court's edict that the attorneys would not be allowed any further latitude in the trial of this case.

Supreme Court Clerk Here. Next Wednesday Clerk Fred France of the Indian supreme court will come to Hammond for the purpose of admitting the class of the Lincoln-Jefferson College of Law to practice in that court.
Judge Lawrence Becker will admit
thtj class to the practice of law in the
circuit and superior courts of Lake
county and will administer the necessary oaths. This will all take place at the First Presbyterian church, where the graduation exercises of the school will be
held. Elaborate preparations for the graduation exercises are being made.
orders for finished material there were
a number of orders for carload lots for
immediate shipment out of stock. Aside from th Inquirle from small foundries there Is Bo change In tho stagnation that has marked the pig iron market for some time. The big malleable and' stel foundries depend to a large extent on railroad contracts and win run only at a percentage of their capacity until the railroads hegin ordering equipment and repair shop material for the fall crop movement. In consequence it Is expected that the first indication of activity will come from the smaller foundries. Merchant Bar Iaaetlv. The market for merchant bars does
not show much activity at present, as only a few of the smaller manufacturers have placed their contracts for soft steel bars. Indifference as to their future wants is the seeming attitude of the large ploy companies. Current orders and specifications are light all along the line in soft steel bars, bar Iron, and hard steel. Reduction Jn the base price of structural material does not appear to n had much of aft effect on that market so far, as It has been discounted by the fabricating shops. The largest contract of the week was that of the Otis bank building. 6,933 tons, to the American Bride company, in addition there were: The Tribune building. Terra
Haute. 380 tons; to the Decatur Bridge company; spouts for ore docks No. 1, Duluth and Iron Range railroad. Two Harbors. Minn., 65 tons, to tho American Bridge company. linullronds Hold to Small Orders. Railroads do not show any tendency toward change In their policy of placing small orders for rails. Business booked by the Illinois Stel Company last week for standard sections amounted to 10,000 tons. The Missouri Pacific is in the market for a round lot of 62.00 tons. Including requirements of the Denver and Rio Grande and other connections. Readjustment of prices has had a stimulating effect In the sheet trade
with inquiries by buyers aggregating a considerable tonnage for third quarter delivery. The showing by the wire mills for the first half is exceptionally gooJ. with an active demand from theagriultural trade. The oia material market shows no change from the dull conditions of the last few weeks.

TERRIBLE DEATH IMPENDING All hope for the recovery of Mrs. Susan Schaffer's three-year-old son, who was brought to St. Margaret's hospital from the Pasteur Institute In Chicago last week, was gtvon up this afternoon when the little sufferer went Into spasms, which are the beginning of the end. It was not thought that
the child, which is suffering from the rabies because of a mad dog bite, will live through the night, and it Is probaable that the little life will have passed away by 9 o'clock this evening.
The mother was at its bedside constantly, and every known aid was given the child to relieve its sufferings as
much as possible.

One of the most Important personal
Injury suits which has recently been filed In one in which George W. Reesa seekes to recover $50,000 from the Indiana Harbor Bett Railroad through his attorneys, Rollly & Hardy.

It was the switchman's duty to rtdc on the front end of the cut of cars for the purpose of arning persons who might be approaching the One Handled and Forty-third street crossing on the oncoming train. According to the complaint Reese signaled for the engine to slow up at
the crossing but instead of slowing up

MARITAL TROUBLES
OF JOE SCEKHERAKO
(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, June 12. Joseph Seek
herako came rushing into the police
station yesterday to swear out a war
rant against his wife, Cassimery, whom
he declared had filched $20 of his mon
ey and was in the act of running away
from him.
Police officers took the woman off
Whiting car and arrested her, and the
woman explained that she had no ln
tentlon of running away permanently,
but that she was going to Chicago to visit her sister for a while, as her hus
band "make too much fight" and she could not live with him. The husband, after he had gotten his wife back, did not want her to be tak
en to the station, declaring that he simply wanted to stop her from running away, but Chief Leo McCormick explained that, having sworn out a warrant against Cassimery for petit larceny, she would have to give bond3
for her appearance before Judge Riley In the sum of $25. The woman was arrested at 1 p. m. and it took Joseph until 6 o'clock to raise the bond for the release of his wife. Her trial will come up today.

HOPEJ FUTURE

Revival; Small Foundries Make Inquiry for Iron.
The Iron and steel trade of the Chi

store which developed last week. Just
whether this Is to be taken as an Indication of a revival of the consump
tive demand for steel or an accumula

the price adjustment is not quite clear, but It Is a hopeful sign any way.
