With the return of a verdict of guilty by a jury in the Lake superior court against John Caldwell for conspiracy

to defraud the Indiana Steel company,

some new movw may be expected by the steel corporation and new arrests

may result.

Former Timokeeper Charles Bloom-

hoff, who was freed of the same charge

that convicted Caldwell, Is to be re

arrested it is said. Th basis of the story that Bloomhoff Is to be arrested

on new ctiarges is said to come from a

steel corporation official.

According to the steel company at

torneys other sensational arrests may be expected within a, short time, and

several are said to be on the anxious

seat as a result of this declaration.

ABB TOP HEArtHG THE TIMEil

(Special to Thh Timbs.)

Valparaiso, Ind., June 22. Probably

me most startling statement that was made in the Knotts case, now on trial before Special Judge Charles Hanly of

Rensselaer, was that made by W. J.

aicAieer, lor the defense. In which he said that he expected to show that the Indictment of Knotts Is a con

spiracy for political purposes and that

much of the state's testimony would

be prejured.

The attorneys for the Btate have al

ready Introduced the testimony of fif

teen witnesses, and Attorney William

J. Whinery said that he expected to In

troduce the testimony from at least

twenty-five or thirty more.

This makes it apparent that the state will not complete the introduction of Its testimony before the end of the present week. It is also apparent that the tiral of the case will be continued during the whole of next week. If not

longer.

Hammond Lawyers to Take

Up an Insurance Case.

The trial of Bernard Heyman and II

Lipshutz, two Junk dealers of East Chicago, took place before Jidge Prest today and they were fined $28.25 each, which both paid. They tlrought they were very lucky they got off as easily as they did.

The two junk dealers live at 4912

Reading avenue. East Chicago, and were charged with having 500 labeled bottles In their possession belonging

to the Charles H. Mayer & Co. of Hammond.

Upon search of their place Instead

of finding over 500, which was under

estimated, 1,320 good bottles were ta

ken from their premises. The bottles were then taken and returned to the Charles H. Mayer Co., who, after get

ting their property back did not push the case.

The charge was then changed and

were fined on a charge of misdemeanor. It was proven that they dl dnot Bteal the bottles.

Two More Overlands.

Harry Minas, owner of the Mlnas 6

and 10-cent store, and Henry Laderach

are the latest to join the Overland auto j squad in Hammond. Altogether there

are now twenty-three Overlands In

ed that the resdients of Honiewood and the city of Hammond at large would be willing to support the project by a membership in the country club. While the plans for a new countryclub have not yet taken definite form. It is believed that in the near, future a splendid country club will be built on the north sixty-four acres and that it will attract a large membership at once.' The trouble with most country clubs is their inaccessibility, but this will be

the exception. It will be possible for the members of this club to walk from their homes to the golf links and the tennis courts. Hammond's desirability as tha residential city of the locality will be promoted Immeasurably. To Sub-Divide Part.

South of Mason street two forty-acre

pieces of land were purchased with a

ironiase on ine state lino of half a

milo, extending southward to what Is known as the Ridge road. This prop

erty will be sub-divided at once and

lots will be sold only to the mor edesirable class of citizens In West Ham

mond. Building restrictions wllL be im

posed and an effort will be made to build up a residential district in West

Hammond that will be similas to Homewood in Hammond. The north sixty-four acres has a frontage of a little less than half a mile on State Line street and extends westward to Burnham avenue for the distance of a mile. Its north boundary Is the extension of wbat Is known as Carroll street In Hammond. One of the Interesting features of the deal is the fact that the purchasers received the original patents on the

land by which the government trans

ferred it to tha original purchasers.

Theso patents are signed by three of our presidents.

BIG DEAL CLOSED

BY F. R. MOTT

residents of an undesirable character might become the next door neighbors of those who have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in homes in

Hammond.

Fortunately for Hammond It had puh-

11c spirited men with the money neces

sary to nurchase so large a tract of

land and It had men with the nerve to

tackle so large a proposition. Hovr Deal Waa Made.

The newspapers in Hammond were

apprised of the plans of these men and

asked to co-operate in the work of securing the property by avoiding the prematiure publication of the plans of

the purchasers. The local papers did

not betray the confidence, and the deal

went through smoothly to the end.-

Fred R. Mott, who la considered one of the shrewdest dealers in acreage property in the Calumet district, was selected a sthe agent to purchase the

property. The announcement of the purchase indicates how successful he

was In his negotiations.

A community will absorb only so much real estate In a given time, and the men who were Interested in this purchase were wise enough to know that it would be foolish to throw all of this property on the market at once. Then the Idea of an "in town" coun

try club was suggested and this solved the problem. The very people whosa homes would be protected by the pur

chase of the property, and its owner

ship in friendly hands, were the people who would be most likely to support a

country club that was easily accessible

and this fact convinced Fitzgerald and

Betz of the feasibility of the plan. Plan Country CInb. As long as these men were willing to take the chances on purchasing the

I property they have taken it for grant-
