POLICE WIN GRATITUDE OF AUTO OWNERS Glass Smasher Haled Into City Court and Dealt With Summarly.
Nick Cruste, an East Hammond man, was arrested last niKht by Officers Strong and Burr for breaking bottles on a public highway and scattering the glss about.
The. misdemeanor took place on Morton avenue, and Cruste was In the act of breaking another beer bottle when he was placed under arrest. He was brought before Judge Barnett this morning and was fined $1 and costs, amounting to $11. It is not known whether Cruste has broken any bottles in that vicinity before or not, but a great deal of trouble has been given to the public and automobiles that pass on ,-that thoroughfare. Only a short time ago a number of motorcycles and automobiles bad tires cut to pieces on account of large pieces ef glass being thrown on the streets. The police In the future will keep a sharp lookout for this, and if the guilty parties are caught they will be dealt severely with.
One night last week she said to her mother, "I will not stay at home any longer, I do not like It here and I am going to run away again." Her mother thenr counseled with her and advised
her she would vry foolish to leav
home again, but she seemed to be persistent in her desire to lpave. "We gave
her anything she wanted and in fact we were too good to her and she did not
appreciate our efforts." declared Mr.
Bradshaw today. TOOK BUST CLOTHES AI.O.MG.
No clue has been found to her goal. The girl took all of her best clothes and as near as her step-father was able to tell between 193 and $100 which he had saved up. Last Tuesday Mr. Bradshaw filed a petition in the superior court and it was related in the eomplalnt that Xaura May 'Williams is the daughter of the first husband of Maud Bradshaw,
his wife; that his wife has deserted him and left the child without care or support.
It was alleged that the child has reached the age of understanding and does not approve of her mother's conduct. The petitioner stated that he is a brass molder at Gibson and that he is abundantly able to support the child
and give her the advantages of a good It is not known Just how the girl was dressed when she left yesterday, but
she has the following description: DESCRIPTION OK filRL.

and 3 inches; weight, 100 pounds; me

The handwriting on the note was very poor and some of the words could hardly be made out. The only description of that man Is that he is about 25
years old, dark complexion and about B

The girl had every chance yesterday ! to make her getaway with her step-''
father's savings and her clothes. MOTHER WAS AWAT.
Being: left alone at her home yester- i day she had the best of an opportunity , of escaping. Mrs. Bradshaw, her j mother, had been away somewhere since last Sunday, and Mr. Bradshaw. her step-father, was at his daily work j at Gibson, where he is employed as a '. brass molder. j There Is little doubt among the '

This man was seen with the Williams girl in a certain Hammond ice cream parlor the early part of the week, and he had other clandestine meetings with the unhappy girl. The last seen of Laura Williams by neighbors was yesterday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock, when she was standing- at the corner of Oakley and Fayette street, and seemed to be waiting for some one whom her people believe to be the man she was with In the Ice cream parlor a few days ago.

would require action by the city council. The city council is scheduled to meet on the 18th of this month. In the event the council would grant the appropriation, as no doubt it would, another three weeks would elapse during which time the fcoard would have to advertise for bids to build the addition to the bathhouse. In addition to this there would bs the usual delay by the contractor, ani before the new addition could be used the swimming
season would be practically over.
Saggesta Time Limit. Thomas Swanton, one of the board
members, in discussing the situation
at the lake front park bathhouse, sug
gested that some rules and regulations be adopted to limit the time for the bathers to remai nln the water. Some of them regain in two and three hours,
and even longer, and the result, especially on big days, is that other pat
rons of the park cannot have the use
of the clothes basket and the dress
ing rooom. To the suggestion that a
time limit be set for Sundays and holidays, at least, John I Rohde replied
that if such a procedure were adopted
at all it would have to be uniform for
all the days of the week. Mr. Ebert
said the large patronage at the bath
house this year was unexpected and Is
due to the unusually hot meather. . He
said the provisions last year were ample and that the bathouse should be
enlarged for next year. For the present
he thought the additional baskets
would give relief on the hot days.

same affidavit. The affidavit was then
certified to the superior court in the
September term.

"We have had a lot of trouble with
automobiles and other vehicles turning
corners in Hammond," said Chief Aust-
gen this morning, "and some of them seemingly do not carehow fast they go and what side they turn on never giving a signal of any kind. ' We have
notified certain Hammond parties who
continually violate this ordinance and
ft It is not stopped a lot of arrests are
going to be male."
The law for this in the act of 1911
says: No. 14S8, section 59 Before
turning the corner of any street or
public way the driver or person in
charge or control of any vehicle be
ing driven or propelled around such corner shall give a signal, such Blg-
nal can be seen or heard from behind
such vehicle and from side towards which turn is to be made and such
signal snau be given in a monner which plainly indicate in which such
vehicle is about to turn. In turning
corners to the right vehicles should turn to the right of the center of the
street. In turning corners to the left,
vehicles shall also pass to the right of
the center of the intersection of the
second street.
No. 1489, section 60, says no vehicl
can stop In the middle of the stree
except near the curb. "Now these laws
are going to be obeyed and its up to the people of Hammond to live up to
them or the police will have to make
arrests," said Chief Austgen.

NOTICE. To whom this may concern:
That under the date of July 11 there appeared an article in the Hammond
Daily News stating that there was
heavy mortgage held by the writer of this article against a party by the name of Simmons, formerly connected with the Hammond Garage Co., now
suspended from business.
I take this way of letting the gen
eral public know that this statement
was made without my knowledge or
consent or interview, and that I have
never had the pleasure of knowing any
person or doing any business with
any person that is connected or has been connected with the Hammond Garage Co. I have the understanding that thia statement was gained from some business man in this city, and if that (one) business man should happen to see this article I wish he would think back to the old saying, "The reason why men who mind their own business succeed is because they have so little competition." Trusting that this Is fully understood, I am yours. Very respectfully, F. K. RINEHART, Manager Calumet Loan Co.
