SENTENCE FOR YOUTHS IS REDUCED TODAY Judge Becker, Because of Their First Offense, f Shows leniency. Throagh the intercession o4 Attor.: noys .W. -J;lcXWfJW-r. J TeaMorris Diamond, JCattian Ixve and Walter Young, the three young men who held up and robbed the proprietor of East State street fruit store had their sentence reduced from 2 to 14 years to 1 to 14 years, f ! In order to do this it was necesRnt-v that the charge of robbery to be withdrawn and for a charge of grand larceny to be substituted. Accordingly, the records of the court show that the young men plead gulltyto grand larceny instead of robbery. The court has shown a great deal of leniency alj of the way through for the boys might have been charged with burglary which would have resulted in their being sentenced to from 10 to 20 years in the penitentiary. The fact, that the boys have never been arrested before, although two of them are suspected of other crimes. Is what persuaded the court to reduce the sentence. The effort to have them released on parole failed. Plend for Leniency. Nathan Lo-e made a plea for leniency, as did the other boys, but the court told them that lawlessness among a certain crowd of young men In Hammond would have to stop and that he would have to make an example of them. He said that the police first thought that certain crimes that were being committed were due to the Invasion vi croons irom Chicago, but they had round that Hammond boys were sponsible. He said that a stop would have to be j.ul iii mis icina ot work, and that the only way he saw of doing it was to severely punish the young men who ?iad .been caught. He said that certain young men in Hammond would have to -iv.j- ....c.i iuung a tin go to work or they would find themselves in the same boat. The young men will be taken to the reformatory at Jeffersonvllle. todav and win begin the serving of their sentence at once. In eleven months, unon behavior, they" will be released on parole, but must remain In custody of tne officials of the reformatory. ABE ftlffiS"iVES INTO HEW STORE E. & F.

J- The landing of the republican county convention for Crown Point was received here last night with satisfaction. Many thinking that the days of Crown Point as a convention city were a thing of the past, on account of the Harbor contingent landing the convention two years ago. The sentiment at -yesterday's .meeting, however, seemed to be i that' Crown Point,! as the county seat. should be entitled to the honor, and j it Is now up to the Crown Point busi ness men, and citizens to show their I hospitality and put forth a speecial effort to accommodate the crowd. Indiana Harbor furnished the convention hall, beautifully decorated, and also the music for the occasion, and Crown Point should-, not be backward in following thecexample. Many dollars are brought to a city through "these conventions, and the way to get them again and keep them Is to make the effort to accommodate the. crowd and dretchlng our hospitality. .

DIRECT PRIM IS
DITCHED
Crown Point Gets Republican con- . vention Apr. 5 The question of the advisability of nominating candidates on the repub lican county ticket by direct primary vote and the debate which followed proved to be the most interesting feature of the meeting at Huehn's hall in Hammond yesterday when the precinct committeemen met for the organization of the republican county central committee. NEWMAN RAISES tVUESCTION. 1 The question was raised by William' Newman of Hammond who though not a candidate, stated that he believed it to be in the interests of harmony to have the entire ticket nominated by direct primaries. He said that the movement infavor of direct primaries is becoming a national issue and should not be ignored. He was supported in his contention by Fred Friedley, candidate for the office of sheriff, who said that he be-i lieved that the. voice of the people, should prevail and that that voice could i only be heard through direct primaries. JONES OBJECTS. He made an amendment to Newman's; motion, however, which provided that the delegate vote should be apportioned according to the candidates exactly In the same proportion as the number of votes they, received. At this Juncture H. E. Jones, county recorder, registered a strenuous objection to this prooeedure. He. said that this would deprive the south end of the county oflts Just representation and declared .th at the 60O or 600 republican majority in that part of the county could not be ignored. When It began to appear that a fight on this proposition would be precipitated Newman withdrew his motion and Friedley withdrew his. This left the matter In its original state and' the Continued on Page 7.)
