Although February is drawing near neither the state nor the defense attor neys in the Gary bribery rases have any inkling as to whether the trial of one of the defendants , will begin on me in 01 next month. While Judge Van Fleet some time ago made it known that none of the sorter county case8 could bo tried in January and that Alderman Bowser's case would be set. off until February, It .does not necessarily follow that the four remaining Lake county cases would be delayed at all. On the 6th of the month ex-Alder, man Baukus, now missing, is) to be called and an effort will be made to try one of the other defendants In his stead probably Joton Slmiasko. "I have heard nothing of thebrlbery cases for several days," said Prosecutor W. F. Hodges this morning. Lull at StationDuring the past 1wo days the police department has experienced a lull and not an arrest of any eort ha been made during that time. A few night lodgers are taken In and are released and sent out of town next morning. The Justice courts are experiencing tiie same quietude and few cases are being filed, excepting a few civil cases.

JDLIET SCHOOLS FOR G

Joliet Superintendent Visits Emerson School in Gary, v and While Praising Hig hly Lauded System Believes That Some of Features at Gary Schools For Child Education Are Open to1 Criticism.

"The highly lauded school system of Gary. Ind.t has several features that could well be copied In JolJe-t. But I believe that the Joliet system has several features that could be profitably introduced into the Gary system." This was the statement of Superin tendent hdward Worst of the Joliet public schools this morning after a visit at Gary in company with Art Superintendent Gleason of Joliet. The two made the Inspection yesterday with the .purpose of studying the methods used in the Indiana town. They spent the day at the Emerson school, which lias the reputation of being one of the most modern and upr to-date schools In this section. lias Tea Grades. "At the Emerson school," explained the superintendent, "there aro ten grades besides the kindergarten division. This includes the elH-ht srrade of the public schools and two years of high school work. There are several features that I myself do not care particularly for. The child In the second grade has five different teachers daily. I feel that children at that age should only come in contact with the teacher whose personality will be impressed on them. She can study each child and can ba studied In return. "The school lasts from eight in the .morning until four In the afternoon. with one hour at noon for lunch. At the Emerson school there are sixteen rooms and sixteen regular teachers without including seven other instructors for manual training and drawing work. The teachers receive no extra carefully selected company of players, will offerv"A Woman for Mayor," The sketch is founded on the suffragette problem and details the events leading up to the election of a member of the fair sex for the high lionor of mayor of a large city. The little play coasts a real plot. The lighter side of the all absorbing question Is shown. The skit is from the pen of a well known anthor. Miss Simpson, previous to her entry into the realm of variety some two or three years" ago, was a favorite actress In the better class of popular price melo-drama houses. Her variety engagements have bo eminently satisfac tory that she declares she will never return to titn sn-catlAd lcrf tifnnto John A. . West, the musical brownie will e an extra added attraction. Wes is a instrumentalist of no mean ability. ' Were he less a musical artist his coming would 'be welcome alone for his quaint comedy and winning personality. Paul Gordon will furnish sensation galore for those who affect this style of entertainment. Gordon does some really startlrng things on a single wheel. Other acts and a new line of pictures will be shown. The biggest laughing bill that has yet j been offered at the new Orpheum open ed at the East State street playhouse yesterday afternoon -'with large attendance due no doubt to the double incentive of a new show and free spoons to. women patrons. Paradoxical as It may seem the brightest spot Is held by a performer whose countenance is of sable hue.

A very creditable bicycle act is presented by the two Millard brothers. They introduce much comedy. Eller's dog, mqnkey and goat opens the Show and pleased yesterday afternoon. The pictures are new. Billiard Match. The billiard contest between Dr. II. C. Groman and Roscoe E. Woods is the principal topic of conversation ia club circles today. It is expected that there will be a record-breaking crowd in at.s.,,,., ......i.. sharp, and it is expected that the members will be on hand early to got the best seals. ; . , . rrUn A-A I. ,A A, S . t A " Opening Meeting.

The republican party organization will be in embryo until the meeting next Monday, when a county chairman and connty secretary will be selected. Tho meeting tonight is an important one and it Is in the Interests of good citizenship that every republican is invited to attend. . Allnut Resigns. E. L. Allnut, 91 Douglas street, for a number of years foreman in the Erie yards, has resigned his position with a view of going into business In Hammond. Mr. Allnut is said to be negotiating with F. D.

sum for the longer hours of work. Three Physical Directors. "There are three physical instructors at the school. I was much pleased with the big, thoroughly equipped playground. It was an excellent feature. The manual training rooms are large and not only are they open on regular school days, but also on Saturdays from 8 unlll 4, the instructors receiving extra pay for Saturdays. "I would like to have our manual training rooms open on Saturday. I have not arked the school board for it as yet, but feel that the members would concur in my request if I did so. In Joliet students receive manual training instruction one-half a day a week. At the Emerson school a pupil can spend one-fourth of his time in the department. The buildings are enormous compared to ours ana permit more space being utilized than is possible bere. I think our system of having the children meet at a central point onenatr day a week is good, if it could bedlvided into threw sections It might be bolter, but that is Impossible at present. We have merely one. build lng, but that is well equipped and ably supervised. ii ine enwaran or this city were permitted to accept the. longer day on provision they could spend the extra time in the manual training - depart ment, I believe fully 75 per cent of the children would willingly accept. But the longer hour3 would not prove ad visable with merely academic work.' Joliet News. the West Creek cemetery. Leave on Eastern Trip.
