She Had It, But Where? The divorce case of Steens vs. Steens, colored people, was on in the Lake superior court before Judge Lawrence Becker this afternoon. 'As a preliminary it was necessary for Mrs. Steens, a comely young negro woman, to pay the prosecutor his $5 fee before the trial started. "Now you must pay the prosecutor $5," said Attorney William H. Sickman, her counsel, j The woman, who was standing before the judge, shifted uneasily and hesitated. 'Haven't you got the money?" said ! Sickman. "Yes, I've got it," was the reply. "Well then, pay the prosecutor," said Sokman, impatiently, j The woman hesitated a minute and j then hurriedly left the courtroom. In ' a minute she returned with a five dol- . Jar bill.' A number of male witnesses j who happened to be in the corridor j were surprised, not to say shocked, at I what they saw. Everybody in the court j room laughed. I Divorce Cases. j Today was divorce day In the Lake , superior -ourt. Divorces were granted in the cases of Vandevander vs. Vandevander; Snyder vs. Snyder, and Wilson vs. Wilson. Arguments Heard. The arguments on the motion for a new trial in the case of state vs. Caldwell, one of the famous Gary payroll cases, will be heard before Judge Lawrence Becker on Sept. 29.

Mr. Iewis is well known here and at one time lived In Hammond and was employed at the Simplex Appliance Co. Mrs. Lewis informed the police that her husband wag slightly demented and that she thought he had wandered away and may possibly have come to Hammond.

HAMMOND FRATERS BACK FROM MEETING Practically all the members of the Lake county delegation of Odd Fellows who went to Indianapolis earlier in the week to attend the session of the sovereign grand lodge have returned and are full of glowing accounts of the splendor of the occasion. Lake county was represented by ahrfiut 175 members. They occupied a section in the parade and werer headed by William Klsntr of Hammond, who is the district deputy for Lake county. They also had a good band for their section. That the Odd Fellow regalia is a relic ofj the past and Is Injurious to the health of its wearers and that it should -be discarded is the contention of supportprs of a resolution which was presented at the session of the Sovereign Grand lodge yesterday. There is a decided sentiment in the

grand lodge in favor of doing away with the wearing of the officials re-

galia and for the adoption of a uniform button or badge, to be worn by all who attend the sessions. May Report Today. The rpsolution was referred to a committee, which may report "today. The proposed constitutional amend ment to admit members at a minimum j use 01 1 years was lurneu uown. inis matter has come before the body at each meeting for a long time, but it never has mustered sufficient votes for adoption. The Odd Fellow who opposed It do so on the ground that boys 18 years old have not their character sufficiently formed to understand the principles of the order, while those who favored it took Just the opposite view. The Sovereign Grand lodge cleared away a mass of Important business at its session yesterday. That included the adoption of a constitutional amendment, placing ft ban on hotel keepers who hold liquor licenses from membership. The new law will affect only the new members, the present members who come under that classification not being Included. Deles Rebrkahs' Pirn. The lodge refused to give the Rebekahs a national assemblv. and also placed its official objection to the operation and maintenance of a national tuberculosis sanitarium. At Wednesday's session the lodge authorized the various jurisdictions to operate such sanitariums if they saw fit to do so. It is not unlikely that the grand lodge will adjourn today, although there raav be sufficient business to keep the representatives here until ' tomorrow. Yesterday's etnertalnment for the visitors included a theater party at B. r . Keiths and a ball at Tomlinson hall. The party at the theatre Included only the officers and members of the Sovereign Grand lodge, grand secretaries, grrand seribes and members of the Odd Fellows' press and their wives and daughters. The ball was attended by many of the visitors. Including members of the Patriarchs Militant in uniform. Rebeltah last Presidents Elect. At a meeting of the National .

M WAY HERE , Arrangements for Flanigan , Funeral Cannot Be Made fill They Arrive. i j Word was received from McKittrick, Cal., yesterday afternoon that the remains of Mrs. Howard Flannigan, who died there suddenly Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, will arrive here for burial some time Monday forenoon. Definite funeral arrangements have not been made and will be announced later. The remais will be taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Flanigan, 300 Hohman street, where services will be held some time Tuesday. The news of the sudden death of Mrs. Flannigan yesterday was a shock to her wide circle of friends and relatives In Hammond. j A letter, which arrived here - Wed- ! nesday from Mrs. Flannigan. at MciKlttrlck, stated that her husband and ! self were ejoying the best of health and life. Mr. and Mrs. Flannigan have been married a little over eight months and left here seven months today for McKittrick, Cal., where Mr. Flannigan accepted a tine position.

CLAIR OUT AT ORPHEUM (Continued from Page 1.) by which the owners of the theatre were managing It and taking all of the receipts to apply on the rent that his pay ought to corns from them. William If. Gostlin thought that St. Clair's salary should have been paid by Wingfield. When St. Clair learned this he resigned in a huff and it became necessary for Gostlin himself to take charge of things and run the house the rest of the evening: v St. Clair and his wife left the theatre shortly after the show commenced. Following this incident Gostlin claims that St. Clair made an effort

REUS ARE

to make the musicians and the stage employes believe that they would not

be paid, but Goetlin put their minds at rest by guaranteeing to pay them out of his own pocket. Mr. St. Clair asserts that this originated with the employes themselves and that he made no such assertions. The affair last night ends Winfield's connection with the theatre It Is be lieved that the house will be leased to some other man in the near future. Morthland Manager. For the time being the theatre is to be managed by John W. Morthland, and all of the attractions that are booked w(lll appear just as If nothing had happened. The affair Is considered regrettable from all sides, as Mr. Gostlin himself admits that Mr. St. Clair is the best manager the theatre ever hatl. "The Cowboy Girl," a musical comedy, will appear as scheduled on next Saturday night. AH next week the Jack Bessy Stock company will hold the boards., in the, meantime it is expected that a new manager will be selected, and that the affair will be add smoothed over.

Comfort of the United States naval time service "The severe lectrical thunder anj rain storms of the past two weeks are all ascribable to the equinox which Is approaching," said Lieutenant Comfort (yesterday.
