Edward Schottler appeared in the Lake Superior court this morning in an effort to secure the release of William Darmofol. the boy who was recently sent to the reformatory at Plainfled because he is incorrigible. Schottler discovered a discrepancy in the judgment by which tho court omitted to state the age of the boy. This, in the opinion of Shottler, invalidates the judgment and entitles the de fendant to a new trial. Judge Becker admitted the dls crepancy but took the case under ad visement until net September. In tne meantime he took occasion to state that he thought the reformatory was a good place for a young man of the charao.or of Darmofol. He said that he had taken particular pains to question the young man and found that he was positively without intelligence. He could not spell, oould r.ot write and was so dirty and un kempt that he thought he would at least learn habits of cleanliness in the reformatory. Judge Becker tsaid he thought the envioronment in which the young man lived would make a criminal of him sooner or la'ter. When counsel stated that he would bring the priest and tha boy's father Into court to plead for th boy the. court stated that he would like to have the opportunity to tell the father of the boy Just what he thought of the manner in which he had been brought up. Unless the boy is released on a writ of habeas corpus he will have to remain in the reformatory until September when he may bo given a new trial. Moose Gets Back Salary. Judge Virgil S. Reiter of the Lake superior court found for the plaintiff in the case of the state ex rel. s. E.

Betz, the two Hammond manufacturers whose object In the purchase was to protect Homewood in Hammond from any undesirable neighbors in the way of industries or residents. AVnnt West Haromrad ITomewnnrl. Assured by this move of the Ham- j mond men, who are not only protecting Hammond, but West Hammond as well In thus establishing the future West Hammond Homewood', Miss Brooks and Mr. Blackmer thought the time was ripe to put the acreage.

Still Active In Ctrl AfTnlr. With these activities going on Just across the state line, there is almost positive assurance that West Hammond as a neighbor instead of being an unknown danger to Hammond, will really be an asset to the Indiana city, because of the recoprocity.
