That it is the handiwork of a legal cuttlefish semi-atrophied and af

The freres Knotts are evidently obsessed with the idea that this paper
is on trial in the bribery scandal. A rude shock awaits them.

E. Temple Thurston. Ernest Temple Thurston, a well known English writer was born near London, September 2S, 1879. His first literary effort consisted of two books of poems published In 1S95. Two years
later he published his first novel, "The Apple of Eden." His first play, a fouract drama entitled "Red and White Earth," was produced In England in 1902. He subsequently dramatised the novel, "John Chilcote. M. P.," written by his wife, the late Katherine Cecil
Thurson, which was produced with, great success at the St. James Theatre In London several years ago. Other publications of Mr. Thurston which have met with success are "Traffic," "The Evolution of Kathtrlne," "The Realist," "Sally Bishop." and "The City of Beautiful Nonsense."

DIFFICULTIES ARE UNFORTUNATE.
It is to be sincerely hoped that the difficulties over the management of
the Orpheum theater will be patched up and that things will soon be run
ning smoothly again. The public's interest in this theater is a considerable
one. The Orpheum theater management had got to the point where It wa3
able to book some of the best attractions in the country.
And what is more important the theater-going public of Hammond had
result at home.
THE TIMES believes that it voices the sentiment of a large number
of Hammond people when it says that It sincerely hopes that all of this
constructive work has not gone to naught. Hammond will soon have a
fine vaudeville house, but it needs a house for the production of the drama.

SOME MORE SURPRISES.
The action of Bolice SzymanskI and four of the defendant aldermen in the Gary bribery cases engaging in mutiny In the Knotts legal fort means nothing else than that these five defendants fear to get tied up with Knotts
in the crisis now confronting them. They not only have dismissed the counsel who are also defending Knotts, but they have engaged a new legal ad
viser and they have created a sensation by withdrawing their application
for a change of venue. Before this trial Is over there will be a lot more surprise. It is quite apparent that the gentlemen in question see the hand
writing on the wall.

of the Gary association asked for $4,000 for the preliminary expenses needed to open up the $250,000 building. And Gary responded with far greater gen

the window, asking for fine saws for the purpose of cutting a gas pipe, and the saws found their way to the prisoners.
A trusty gave Sheriff Eeck the Infor

This Week's News Forecast
Washington, D. C, Sept. 23. A busy week is In prospect for President Taft. After making a number of short stops in Missouri and Kansas on Monday he will arrive in Kansas City in time to address the National Conservation Congress Monday evening. On this occasion it is probable Mr. Taft, In the course of his remarks on the general subject of conservation, will
make clear the administration's future attitude In Alaskan affairs.
From Kansas City the president is to go to Hutchinson to speak at the
etate fair and the Kansas semi-centennial celebration. Topeka, Atchison and Leavenworth will be embraced In the Wednesday Itinerary. The next two days will be given to Iowa, with stops at Council Bluff?, Fort Dodge, Waterloo, Des Moines, Ottuumwa and several Other poihts. Another swing across north
western Missouri is scheduled for Saturday and thence the route will lead to Omaha, where the president will sp:-nd Sunday. Primary elections In two cities at opposite ends of the country will attract public attention during the week. In San Francisco a primary will be held Tuesday for the nomination of candidates for mayor and other city officials. In Philadelphia a similar primary will bs held Saturday. Both cities have witnessed a strenuous campaign. In a broad sense the same Issue prevails in both cities, being a fight of the better element of the citizens to wrest the control of municipal affairs from the office holders and politicians alleged to be guilty of the grossest kind of political corruption and graft. Massachusetts will have Its first practical experience with the direct prl mary law on Tuesday, when all parties will name candidates for governor and other state officers to be voted for this fall. A spirited three-cornered fight is on for the republican nomination for governor. Governor Fosa is assured of renomination by the democrats. The consecration of Rev. J. It. Winchester as b,ishop of Arkansas will attract a distinguished gathering of Episcopal clergy and laity to Little Rock on Friday. A conference of I'nited States and Canadian government health authorities and the state and municipal health boards along Lake Erie is to be held In Chicago Friday to plan an International crusade against pollution of lake drinking water. Other notable conventions and conferences of the week will Include the National Eucharist Congress In Cincinnati, the National Blue and Gray Reunion In Memphis, the convention of the National Association of Military Surgeons In Milwaukee, the annual meeting of the American Manufacturers' Export association in New Tbrk. and the semi-annual meeting of the National Associatfon of Cotton Manufacturers at Mancheater.
