He was paroled for the reason that it was his first offense, but after being caught the second time it was decided that the reformatory was the place for him and Judge Relter sentenced him yesterday.

Carbone Case.

The case, of Carbone vs. the American Steel Foundries company is expected to take all day today, and if Judge Becker will sit in tha case It will probably take another day.

Case Continued. The case of Leon Leroy, a Gary stenographer, who Is seeking a divorce from his wife, has been continued until tomorrow on account of the necessity for Bpecial Judge John M. Stinsorr to be out of the city today.

COMPANY WILL HOT BE RESPONSIBLE

The board of public works', instructions to the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Light company yesterday to the. effect that the company must be responsible for' any damage It might calise by thawing froxen water pipes by means of electricity, seems to have been misunderstood In some quarters.

as a result the impression prevails that the company will make all - repairs whether it is responsible for them or not, but thia the company denies. Thus far the. electric thawing process has worked most successfully, and no trouble in the way of broken water pipes which appeared after an electric thawing could be laid to the electricity. In each caje it could make the connections were iither defective or that the pipes had been bursted by the ice in them and not by the thawing. Several df.ys ago the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Light company came forward with a public-spirited proposition to thaw frozen water pipes by means of lectrletty at practically cost price. The understanding then was that the city water, department and plumbers would make all repairs, as usual, provided the damage was not caused by the electric light company and that is the situation today.

DIANA HARBOR TRIUMPHS

yAHOND POLQISTS

(BY SPIKE.) In one of the fastest and roughest polo games that has been seen in the Calumet region this season, the Indiana Harbor five captured their first victory at the Lewis skating rink last night when they made the scoring point from the Dave Lederers of Hammond in the last five minutes of play. The contest was played before a crowd of 200 enthusiasts who packed the gallery and their yelling and hooping was heard blocks away. It was a case of one fast team playing against the other and the one that was lucky enough to score a basket through those watchful goal keepers meant nothing eise but victory. Indiana Harbor played their best game of the season last night and if they had played their formed games like they did this one, the scorers" might have marked up different results. Mclntire of Indiana Harbor proved himself the hero of the day when he scored the winning point. In this sensational play, he simply took the ball from the center of the floor where he took It down to the Indiana Harbor goal and dropped the pellet into the basket. Cunningham also made a number of brilliant plays during the game. He rambled through the Lederer team and mixed In a majority of the scrambles for the ball. He made one sensational stop when Helntz made a savage driv-i and as the ball went hurling through the air he jumped to one slda felling the pellet to the floor. j Perkins of Indiana Harbor also did some excellent work and the fact that

this was his second game, he is looked up to as one of the comers. He pulled off some of the fast stuff and proved that he was there witlv. the stick work. Heints and Smith starred in the Hammond lineup making a number of brilliant drives and Btops. The rest of the Lederers also played a star game even though they lost and their names all deserve mention. It was ll:l5when the whistle blew In the fourth quarter end : it was agreed that only five more minute would be played, to allow Indiana Harbor time to catch a car. Hammond beat Indiana Harbor to the ball and Mclntire was on the job. He got the ball and went through the mass of players like a streak. In a neat drive he clouted the ball in the direction of the Hammond goal and Krimble unable to stop it, the pellet flew into the Hammond goal scoring the victorious point With this victory for Indiana Harbor it places East Chicago and th Dave Lederers on uncertain chances for championship honors. East Chicago took three games from Indiana Harbor, Hammond then won from Eaut Chicago and last but not least Indiana Harbor won from the Lederers. Now who is the best? The following lineup were used last night s Indiana Harbor Sternberg and Kookesy, center; Mclntire. 1st rush; Perkins, 2nd rush; Cunningham, half back; Lewis, goal. 'Dave Lederers Smith; center; Ilelr.tz, 1st rush; Barns , 2nd rush; Pannenborg. halfback: Krimble. goal.

Saloonmen Meet. There being no business of Importance pending before the Hammond saloonkeepers' association, the regular meeting which was scheduled for yesterday afternoon was dispensed with. The next regular meeting is due to be held on the first Thursday of March.

Spartans Win. The Spartans brought up their average considerably last night at Cox's alleys when they whitewashed the Dave Lederer's by taking the series In one-two-three fashion. Without a doubt the Lederers were out of form, as some of their best men fell down In their av. erages. Neither did the Spartans roll up to their standard, as their highest game was 883. but thpy just chalked up enough pins to sneak away with the series. Three 200 games were scored

HAS

MY CASE

GONE

10 THE JURY

The case of Benjamin May, charged

with entering the car barr.s of the Gary I & Interurbart railroad for the purpose ' of committing a felony, went to the'

jury In the Lake superior court at Hammond at 11 o'clock this morning. The opening argument was made by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ralph

W. Ross. He was followed by Attorney Sheehan for the defense. Attorney Lyddick then made an 'argument and Frank Oavit closed for the state. Each of the attorneys were allowed 40 minutes for their arguments. The state claimed It had proven that following the discovery of one of the conductors, that when he deposited his money It did not give the usual sound as it entered the safe, an Investigation revealed a contrivance for catching the deposits of the conductors. The state then related how May was caught entering the ur barns by those who waited for the appearance oit the man who had rigged up the contrivance. The defense attempted to explain May's appearance in the car barn by saying that he had spent the night with a woman of bad character In a box car at East Chicago. That he walked from Kant Chicago to Gary in order to be at work on time and, having left his watch at home he did not knw what time it was. He entered th car barn for the purpose of waiting for the first car to go out. In this manner they explain his presence there at 3 o'clock In the morning. The case has been on trial since Tuesday and a number of witnesses have been called. The case aroused a great deal of interest on account of the fact that the method of getting the money was so unusual.

Mrs. J. G Ibach of Indianapolis is the guest of Hammond friends and relatives for a few days. Mrs. Ibach came to Hammond to attend the party, at which Mrs. Demlng entertained yester day at her home In South Hohman street.

In West BadenF. Richard Schaaf, postmaster of Hammond, has gone to West Baden for a few days' rest. He left yesterday and does not expect to be back In Hnmond until Monday.
