From ll parts of Hobart township romm reports of political activity tn th five towns. Hobart, Miller. Aetna, Kaft Gary and Nrw Chicago, that make up the township. Forth-coming elotlons o ftrustoes. clerks, treasurers, an'l town marshals on November T have caused a horde of aspirants to iret busy and the result is that the whole township Is In a fever of politi
cal excitement. Mr New Candidate. Tonight the voter of Aetna meet In caucus to nominate a trustee,, clerk, treasurer, and marshal and at Miller several new aspirants for office bavo dropped out since the publication of the list of office seekers in last nlght'a edition of Tmh Times. It la a singular fact that while the township la a republican one party lines are erased In municipal elections and nearly every thine; la done on the independent basis. At Miller Carl Olander. brother of Town President William Olander, today announced his candidacy f for clerktreasurer, lie Is beln opposed by Michael Zetllbor. the present Incumbent, William Cook, and Geore Peterson. The Job pays $55 a month. There are also a couple of new candidates for the. town marshalshlp which also carries M-lth It the title of superintendent of the lijrhtlr plant and a salary of $75 a month.

Over at Kast Gary Malcom Ilazolgreen, Phil Snyder and Oscar Johnson are In the race for office, and the contest seems to be narrowed down to a scrap between tha old and young element of the town. Two more candidates are listed for the Hobart marshalshlp, Oscar Carlson and Albert Wyant. Clauda ToothlU is out for treasurer. By reason of its recent annexation of more territory Hobart will elect three trustees. This will -give It a board of five. , Things are mixed up at New Chicago where some of the voters are mandating the town board to Issue an election notice. -Whether the New Chicago oflSce holders want to hold on to their jobs Is unknown but there has been a bigger racket stirred up there than that which usually folows a Gary democratic convention.

Had Splendid Career. Pr. Walther was born at Langen
chursdorf. a village in Saxony, Germa
ny, on Oct, 23, 1811. From college and
university he was graduated with the highest honors. In the autumn of 1S38
he preached his farewell sermon to a
i weeping congregation and left his na
tlve country.l He arrived at New Or
leans. Jan. 5, 1839, in the company of
about 800 Sax&n Immigrants who wish
ed to enjoy the religious liberty which
the constitution guarantees to all eft!
I sens. Walther had a great task to do In the western hemisphere. The scattered Lutherans were gathered into
congregations and the congregations
were gathered into a synod, the synod
of Missouri, Ohio and other states, which was organized at Chicago April
28, 1847, with Walther &a the first president. He discharged the duties of
president of this synod from 1847 to 1850, and again from 1864 to 1878. The
small mustard seed planted In those days has grown since into a large tree extending its branches not only over the whole United States, but also
reaching into Canada. Brazil, Europe, Asia and Australia. That synod numbers now about 900,000 souls In 2.700 congregations, with more than 2,000 pastors, and about 100,000 school children in 2,130 parochial schools.
Wna a Great Teacher. When Concordia seminary, which had
, Its humble beginning in a rude Jog
cabin In the wilderness of Perry coun-
I ty, Ohio, was moved to St. Louis in
1849, Walther was ejected professor of
doctrinal theology and president of the facility. For thirty-six years he instructed hundreds p'f theological students with untiring zeal and fidelity.
Fortunate, indeed, were those young men who enjoyed the privilege of receiving instruction from this great divine. He was a very talented and well
educated man, a wonderful teacher, an eloquent preacher who never failed to
make a deep and permanent impression
upon his audience, and a model Chris
tian unto himself, practicing what he
preached. He departed this life peace
fully May 7, 1887.
From what cam be gathered Finneran
employed a detective agency to see what could be done to clear up the case against him. The woman who
went to the hospital is supposed to
have been a female detective.
The paper she asked the little girl
to sign was a typewritten statement
exonerating Finneran from all blame in connection with the alleged assault upon her. That at least Is the theory of the state.
This incident and the way. is cleared
up by the start witness Is probably the most dramatic incident that has occurred in the criminal court In Chicago in recent years.
Othera Testify. Dr. Luke Kelly of Hammond wai
called to the stand yesterday. He
proved that the girl had been the vic
tim of an assault. The girl's mother
and her own testimony proved that she
was under 16 years of age.
Clara Scheppman was placed on the
stand and told of meeting Finneran and O'Connor. She told how O'Connor had attempted to commit the same sort of an assault upon her that Finneran is alleged to have committed on the
Florin girl.
It Is believed that the state is very
nearly through with the introduction of its" testimony. It now remains for
the defense to reveal its side of the
case.
It is now practically certain that the
court will not permit the defense to
introduce .a lot of Irrelevant evidence regarding the labor troubles In this lo
cality In an effort to show the motive
for Finneran's arrest. The case will
probably not be concluded this week.
Bloomhoff and . Caldwell, and we are. more confident of the outcome." Things are developing every little while which Indicate that others will be involved in theee cases, and we. intend to go to the bottom of the matter. The arrest of Brooks in Seattle indicates that the United States Steel company will not let up in this matter until every one of the conspirators are arrested and tried.

thereupon offered to give way for the members of the Muncie club, but there were none who offered their places at the feast for the members of the band, so Muncie got its back up and departed in dudgeon, taking Its dishes and tin
horns with It. It was a case similar to that of the King of France who with forty-thousand men, marched up the hill and then marched down again. The Muncie delegation simply marched to Ft. Wayne eighty-five strong and then a couple of hours later marched back to Muncie again, taking the first train out of town. When Indianapolis saw the gallant fight made by Indiana Harbor for the convention, she withdrew from the field
of battle and the vote was made
unanimous in favor of the Harbor. Judge Walter J. Riley placed the Har
bor In nomination and his motion was
seconded by E. F. Johnston of Hammond. Mr. Riley presented the qualifications of his home ctty In' such masterly fashion that there was nothing to do but for the convention to succumb to his eloquence. E. F. Johnston of Hammond received the -honor of being, named as vice president from, his congressional district each distrfet being given one of these offices. , ' "' -'
The Indiana Harbor delegation went
to Ft. Wayne as one of the members expressed it. "full of enthusiasm and of nothing else." They came back just as enthusiastic as they went away and
said they had had one fine, time. In
addition to the banquet which was held
in the banquet hall of the local Commercial club, and at which there were covered for 300, there was entertainment as well as business galore. The
new president, C. M. Foster Foster en
tertained all of the delegates who remained after the business 'of the convention was transacted, at luncheon
yesterday and Mr. Thieme, president of
the Fort Wayne Knitting Mills took the Indiana Harbor delegation on an auto inspection of Fort Wayne and
through his mills. After they ha looked over his plant the party was taken to the depot In machines.

vertisement which appears on pages 10 and 11 in Thb Times today. The border of each of these page adds will be em
bellished with the pictures of the heads
of the varlovs departments in the store.
Mr. Cohen wants everybody In the
city to see the pictures of the people
who have helped him to make his business a success. He recognizes the fact that business Is a matter of personality and after printing the pictures of his employes he wants the public to meet tlicm face to face. Jn all there are twenty heads of departments In Hammond's newest department store, and each of them is an expert in his or her particular lino. Mr. Cohen has spent a whole year in bringing this force of itmpioyes up to tha desired degree of i roficiency and he is r ow proud of his organization. In all of th? departments of the store Mr. Coh.-n wifl htive bargains that will be worthy of the event which is being celebrated. In fact he hopes to make the sa!e which he has inaugurated on this occasion one that will be long remembered. It is expected that this sale will attract attention, rot only in Hammond, but In all of the surrounding cities.

come on this occasion. 1 The White Store was opened on Oct
Zl last year ana has been a success ever since. Cohen has proven to be an excellent manager and some of the advertising "stunts" which he has tried here stamp him as a most progressive manager. The store has been maintained as an up-to-date store for the sale of high-
class merchandise. The business lft
now a fixture In the community and has built up a loyal and enthusiastic patronage. Mr. Cohen Is today receiving the congratulations of the business men of
Hammond on his first year's success, and and It is believed that the coming year will hold even more in store for
him than has the year just past.

she pondered for a moment. "I do re

"Oh yes, I thought -you would re
member," sneered the attorney.
"While I was in the hospital t met a
woman who was supposed to be there
for an operation. She arrived shortly
after "Finneran was arrested. Sh
seemed to be very friendly to met.
"One day just before she left she ild, 'Evelyn I like you ever so much
I want to keep in touch with you.
Will you write your name and address
on this litle slip of paper.'
"A little later on she came to me and
said that she had lost my address and
w-anted ma to write my name and ad
dress for her again. This time she in
dicated that I should write it at the bottom of a letter she had.
"I said to her, 'What is this I am

paper I have. It is a personal letter
and that Is why I have folded It up."

I member that the paper I signed looked Just like this. ' Yes that Is my signa
ture."
The innocence of a little girl had
triumphed. The Jurymen were dumbfounded. The attorneys for Finneran
were surprised. The attorneys for the
state realized that the little girl in her
simple girlish way had foiled one of the most dastardly tricks to win a criminal case that -was ever attempted.
REPORTED CONFESSION MADE 8Y BROOKS
There is a report to the effect that
Thomas Brooks, the assistant to the
chief timekeeper of the Gary works of the United States Steel company, who was arrested in Seattle on the charge
of having been implicated in the con
spiracy to defraud the company by padding the payrolls, had made a con
fession yesterday. -
Judge Cassius N. Greenlee, who waa
special prosecutor paid by the steel
company to assist Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney Ralph W. Ross in the trial
of the cases against the three other conspirators, was asked this morning
If this report is true. -
Greenlee said: "I know of no confession that Brooks has made and I
do not believe that he has made one.
We are expecting to try this case 'just
as we tried the cases against Thomas.
