MY WORD; THE JUDGE IS EXCLUSIVE

Membership of Miller's Ngw

"' Country CIud to Be Limited to Twelve.

Officials of three towns in Lake and Porter counties will meet In Joint conference tonight at Chesterton to take up the question of building a road through the sarul dunes from Miller to Chesterton. Mlllr, Porter and Chesterton. Trustees and Clerks of Miler, Iake rounty, , and Porter, and Chesterton, Porter county, 'will be at the conference which -will be held 'following the session of the Chesterton town board. According to Wlliam Olander, presi

dent of Miller, Chesterton people are

, In favor of the plan to bull the 'eleven

mile road through the dunes. Today he received commendations of the plan from President Bussee ' of the Porter town board and from Jeffrey and Morgan the Chesterton bankers and KxSenator A. - J. Bowser, editor of the

Cheterton Tribune. , To le Old StMce loach Trail.

Tbe - tentative route as outlined in yes

terday's Times Is to use the old Detroit

Chicago stage coach trail through the dunes. This route will provide an admirable road bed " and the cost of a gravel top dressing will be very little. Ever since the last stage coach went over the trail it has been in disuse. Route Ha Industrial Future. Tt Is proposed to build the highway from the Miller town hal, where the Qary-Aetna-Miller-Hobart road turns to the south. From this point the proposed route . proceeds almost In a straight line to the board house at Dun.? park nd from there is a southeasterly direction to Chesterton. The , road will lead through one of the lonilest portions of Indiana but the route taps one of the most picturesque sections of. the state a ndone that ten years hence will be dotted with industries.

" Chief Leo McCormacls asked him how he was feeling, - and be complained of a "sore neck" and said he did not like to swallow anything. The chief reassured him with the cheerful information that this would not bother him much at Crown Point.

Those of the socially ambitious of

Gary whose yearnings include a desire

for membership la the Miller Country! club will find their hopes dashed" " on the rocks, for yesterday its promoter, Judge William Westergren, issued an ultimatum that the membership be limited to twelve". As the Judge is tyrant of all things society in Miller what he says goes, although a committee will wait on his honor in an endeavor to have the membership limit raised to twenty-five. A lllKh Membership Fee. Furthermore the Miller Country club is going the Lake Country club of Gary one better. The initiation fee in the Miller organization is tovbe $100, or twice that of the Gary club. Last night Judge- "Westergren was galloping " about . Miller on his trusty cavalry mount visiting the homes of the ultra-exclusive twelve. His visits were for the purpose of collecting the

hundred dollars from each one. When

the Judge was througL with his can

tering he had several hundred dollars in his possession. This sumwill ' be

used to buy material for the club's home to be erected on the lake front. - Wantn But the Tremtirrrxhlp. According to-the judge, if the Miller

Country club does not outshine the Iake Country club in membership it will at least have it beaten in exclusivoness. Several tenders have been made to Juldge Westergren that he

accept the presidency,, but he has

shoved them all aside, saying that the treasurership is the limit of his ambitions.

WILL ORDINANCE STAND1N COURT? Gary Lawyers Say Plumb- . srs Cannot Be Forced to Use Sieban Trap.

Although Walsh and Heuck the Gary plumbers were lined one dollar and costs yesterday for a technical violation of a city -ordinance"" their case wherein they are charged with not using ,the Sieban grease trap has been shifted ever to next week. The fight 'which .the high-price plumbing trust is making on the firm is attracting attention all over the

state. Through the efforts of the local ' trust the city council passed an ordinance-specifying that plumbers must ust a 'Sieban grease trap or one Just as good." Lawyers contend that no legislative body can specify what particular brand must be used and the efforts to bring .the offenders to trial has become quite interesting. For some time there htis been a combination of local , master plumbers, so it is said, who" are pushing the Sieban grease trap and it is declared that those who fall to maintain high prices or refuse to use the "trusts' favorite trap come" In for some prosecution or persecution. , -

SOUTHSIDERS TO GIVE RICH FEAST

The cup of joy overflowed last n'tht at an 'enthusiastic meeting of Gary Ridge Roaders who have the honor of being members of the South Side Improvement association. President Timothy W. Knglehart was in the cha4r wielding the gavea and the noise that he made fairly sfiook the walls of the Glen Park school house. To Try Xetv Experiment.

The funeral arrangements will be made upon the arival of the children. Mrs. Nelson was beloved by her family and a large circle of friends. She was proud of her family, and especially ofi the former world champion whom she had baptized Oscar Mathew Batling. Mother Gave Ilnnl Advice. Long before Battling Nelson won the lightweight championsh.p of the worl.l his mother was one of his stanchest supporters and the Durable Dane never engaged in a fight until he had receiv

ed final Instructions from his mother. Although opposed to prizefighting, Mhi Nelson did not throw any stones tn her son's path when it became apparent that he had made up his mind to be a prizefighter. In his championship battles the returns by rounds always were announced in the little "town of Hegewiseh and Mr. and Mrs. Nelson always were in hand early to get a good seat. Mrs.

Nelson especially listened with Intense interest to the calling off of the rounds and it was a common occurence at th end of every fight to hear her tell her

friends that she knew her boy woulil

win because he was so good to his

mother. .

OUT OF HOSPITAL,

INTO COUNTY JAIL

(Special to The Times.)

Indiana Harbor, Aug. 11. Vaslla

Vincennes, who attempted suicide in the Indiana Harbor jail day before yesterday following his trial before Judge Reiland, when he was fined )5

chine after . his return. As soon as he discovered his loss he notified Sheriff Tom Grant who in turn called up the police headquarters of the entire region also notifying Chicago. The pair, then left for Chicago In Grant's machine, and went direct to Central detective headquarters, but could find no clue there as to the probable whereabouts of : the auto. They visited . detective headquarters again the next morning and soon after their arrival there -was , a message . -from Crown Point to the effect that the machine had been found. Hastening back to Crown Point Mr. Farovid , w-as delighted to find that no serious damage bad been done thevehicle, which, however showed signs of having undergone hard usage. The machine had

been driven evidently a great distance, between eight and ten gallops of gasoline having been consumed, there had been a blowout and it was evident that the joy riders had run a considerable distance on the fiat tire. The speed

ometer was out of; whack and failed to register but the prest-o-llte tank which

had been full, registered one-half.

Some of the tools, were gone and others were strewn about in the bottom of the tonneau. The air pump was broken and the lock on one of the doors had

been smashed. It is believed the party who helped themselves to the machine had drevln . It the better part of the night. They abandoned it at the side

of the road near the ice house on the

south side of Cedar Lake.

Mr. Farovid carries $1,000 on his ma

chine, which would not have nearl

covered his loss, had he failed to recover the car, but will vastly more than

make up for the trifling losses sus

talned.

Cnarles Gren and Abbot Ross, the

two young fellows who were said to

have taken the car, have not been seen

around Crown Point, but the police are

looking for them, as Ross has his faml

ly at Cedar Lake where he has been picking up a livelihood at repairing

automobiles.

Hammond M. Treats flay Fever. SAMPLE TREATMENT FREE So sure am I that I can afford practically instant relief, I want every suf

ferer with hay fever to come in and let me give them one or two treat

ments ABSOLUTELY FREE. I have treated this trouble for many years and am perfectly acquainted with its many phases. . In time past I have

had the disease mysteif and can occasionally feel it yet. However the dis

ease is a perfectly controllable one and I want you to come in for a sample

treatment before' you leave for the north.

A Hammond Lady tells how Dr. Leedy, in Suites 32 and 33, Rimbach . building, over Lion Store, relieved her of Rheumatism and other annoying conditions by removing

her Tonsils. , ,. For years I have had large irritable tonsils. Different doctors had told me that they should be taken out, but I dreaded the operation. When I came'to Dr.Leedy he said, "he could not relieve the soreness " in my neck, and the rheumatism in my shoulders unless I had them , removed." ' - y Finally I consented to let him take them out and I am now so glad that I "did! The operation was not half as bad as I thought ft would be and since they are out, I have had no more sore throat, no , more soreness in the muscles of niy neck and no more rheumatism in my shoulders. - t v MISS CLARA JESERNIG, 215 Pine St., Hammond, Ind.
