COURT BAILIFF HIRSCH RESIGNS

Dave Hirsch, who has been bailiff of Judge Johannes Kopelke's court ever

since the court was created, has resigned to take the management of the Lion store clothing department.

Hirsch will take the place that was

made vacant as a result of the resignation of Dave Lederer. He has had considerable experience in the clothing business and it is believed that his large acquaintance in Hammond will make his department a popular one. Hirsch formerly conducted a clothing business of his own in the Hammond building. It is not yet known whom Judge Kopelke will appoint in the place of Hirsch.

Joseph Stodola, proprietor of the Butler hotel In the Standard Bteel Car district, last night, was unanimously elected councilman from the Sixth ward to succeed John Papp, who has resigned because he will leave Hammond. The petition of Mike Liikowskl was not read, as it was preceded by a resotion submitted by Councilman Markmueller indorsing Stodola. Ex-Councilman John Papp vacated his seat which

was Immediately occupied by his successor who was seated just long enough

to vote for adjournment.

The selection of a new Sixth ward

councilman was the only business transacted at the special council meet-

aniing which was called for that purpose.

While the meeting did not last more than ten minutes, the city fathers spent considerable time getting acquainted with their new surroundings. The new furniture for the city hall has been Installed. Each councilman Is provided with a small roll top desk and swivel chair. The fifteen desks t.re arranged In three rows, the courtcilmen being seated according to the wards they represent, while the councilmen-at-large are seated in the rear.

Situation Serious. Miss Virginia Brooks objected to the appointed of men whom she declared were members of the old crooked political ring on the committee to draw up the ordinances of the village. Trustee Murray said, "It won't do you any good to object, we will do as we please, anyway." If the crowd had had a leader It is

Shocking Casualty at Buffington in Which Andrew Dunean Loses Life.

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Oct. 14. Twenty-two thousand volts of electricity passed through the body ofAndrew Duncan at the Portland Cement works in Buffington yesterday afternoon and killed him instantly. Parts of the body were burned to a crisp by the electricity which shot from the high tension wires which carry the power from the South Chicago to the Gary steel mills.

Johnson said: "The interest on commercial paper, the paper that Is put out by such concerns as the G. H. Hammond Co., Slegel A Cooper and other firm of that character In Chicago and other cities, has increased from 3 to 5 and 54 per cent. "This Is an indication that a large amount of money Is beir.g absorbed in other lines and that the demand for money Is so great that the natural result is an increase in the interest rates on this kind of paper. "If there is great expansion in other lines it will mean that employment will be given to a greater number of men, that the products of the factories will require more cars to move them and will result In general activity all along the line. "It appears to me that we have got to bed rock in the business depression that has prevailed all summer and that from now on there will be a notlcable Improvement in business conditions.

The case of John Kaptur vs. the Orient Insurance Co., which was appealed to the supreme court of the state, has been decided in favor of Kaptur. In its decision the supreme court upheld the decision of Judge Virgil S. Reiter. The caee was tried In Judge Reiter's court several years ago. Attorney John Gavit represented Kaptur and L.' I Bomberger represented the insurance company. A Judgment had been secured against the company for $800 on a policy. The company appealed, was beaten and will now have to pay the Judgment together with Interest. : '

SPECIAL JUDGE INGARYCASE Attorney L. V. Cravens of Hammond

Is acting as special Judge in the case of I A. Bryan vs. Reed et al., which suit has been brought to quiet title

to about $75,000 worth of property along Broadway in Gary. The case 'will take several days. It was begun at Crown Point yesterday. Attorneys Bruce and Matthews, Frank Gavit and John H. Gillett represent the plaintiff or co-related interests, and John B. Peterson and Judge Johannes Kopelke represent the defendant.

Hanly Continues Case. Special Judge Charles Hanly of Renneselaer did not render a decision in the case of the American Maize Products Co. vs. E. A. Shedd and C. B. Shedd following the hearing of the arguments on the special findings of

Judge Frank Green to draw tip a set of city ordinances. "Whether this action was taken In good faith or whether it was merely a technical evasion of the ordre of the court remains to be seen.It Is understood that an appeal has been taken from the mandate of the court that the election be held. Some

authorities say that the village board must go ahead and hold the election I

any way, and others say that no action can be taken by the board until the appeal is decided. ' Village I nprotected. In anticipation of trouble Captain

Barnle Johnson of the police force had every man on the force in the hall. The village was left unprotected and might easily have been plundered by thieves while Johnson had the officers protecting his friends on the village board. When the resolution was presented authorizing Johnson to cut the wires of the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Co., John Zaletta shouted,,, "We're paying for the lights and we want them." Barnie Johnson saw that troiible was starting and he shouted to one of his officers. "Arrest that man." Zifletta was bustled out of the council chamber, and the rest of the citizens were awed. President John Hessler, the president of the board. In the course of some remarks, said that Miss Virginia Brooks had stolen $10,000 from the village. Defied br Mlra Brooka. "I'll make you prove-that inside of twenty-four hours," shouted Miss Brooks. Just then Officer Okray came

over to the young woman, ana assuming a threatening attitude, said, "Shut up or I'll arrest you." Henry C. Wolfe, one of Miss Brooks adherents, said, "Go on and talk, they

can't stop you," and Okray went over and threatened him with arrest. Wolfe insisted on his right to free speech In America. Trustee Giczewski and Murray got into a heated argument over the question ,as' to whether Judge Frank Green should be kept on the village pay roll as an inspector. They called each other names and came very near starting a fight. Whenever anyone would say anything that President John Hessler did

Secretary TE. F. Johnston, secretary Of the Hammond Business Men's association, was asked to explain the in1 activity of the association as compared with the commercial clubs In other cities which meet at least twice a month and transact a great deal of important business. "There are only two or three members of the association who take it upon themselves to do any. work," said Johnston. The members will not pay up their dues and the association seems to be afflicted with the hook worm. "There are a score of prominent busi

ness men in Hammond whose business ' would be directly benefited by the activity of this organization, and yet who do not contribute to its support even to the extent of a membership." "We have co-operated with the Commercial club of Indiana Harbor in the matter of urging the development of the Indiana Haibor canal and the Grand Calumet river. : "The committee which have been ap

pointed to get data on the shipping in the harbor and river and which are taking steps to secure deeds to the i necessary land are working hard, and ' I expect that they have good results to report." j No meetings are scheduled for the

Herter was arrested last night by Officer Bunde at St. Margaret's hospital, where he was accused of insulting the sisters and gave them any amount of trouble. He was released from the hospital yesterday morning, where he had been taking a series of treatments. The case of Charles Thrailkill, charged with doing plumbing work without a license, was continued until Saturday morning, 6ct 21, on account of a number of witnesses being unable to he present.

They found that most of the Lake county farmers are making an honest effort to put a clean product on the market. Across the state line in Illinois, however, they found a place that needs immediate and radical changes in the dairying method if the farmer wants to avoid conflict with the Indiana state board of health. His barn is extremely unsanitary and his method of handling the milk is not conducive to cleanliness. The Lake county farmers are far from perfect in their methods, but it is apparent that the years of campaigning for a . cleaner product, produced under sanitary conditions, is bearing fruit. The suggestions made by the officials were received in the proper spirit and much good is expected to result from the visit. The visitors stopped at about a dozen farms and wound up by going to Gary.
