cost for want of prosecution. Mrs. Fritzingor has not pressed Any of her cases against people whom she has sued since. The Times revealed the true motive which prompted her attacks on Dr. Jackson and other prominent men in Hammond and other nearby cities.

Case Continued. The case of the state of Indiana vs. Ashton, charged with the burglarizing of a B. & O. freight car, was continued until tomorrow morning to enable the state to subpoena Conductor Miller of one of the freight trains as a witness for the state. Court Begins Monday. Judge Johannes Kopelke Qf room No. 3 of the Lake superior court will arrive In Hammond Monday for the purpose of taking up his work there. If the federal court is still in session there -will be four courts of higher jurisdiction in cession at one time in Hammond. BUSINESS IN FEDERAL COURT The first days business in the federal court resulted as follows: Sixtyfour petitioners admitted to citizenship. Eleven denied by court or dis missed by the petitioners. Kleven continued until Tuesday morning. The eleven were continued for various reasons and probably most of them will be present tomorrow. Of the denials only one so far has been on account of law violations, par ticularly Sunday closing, which shows that the Judge has not changed his at titude. Four were dismissed for want of prosecution, the petitioners being either saloonkeepers or ex-saloonkeepers and probably afraid to appear; four on account of incompetent witness one on account or aeatn, and one on account of lack of knowledge or under standing. The court was pleased with the character of the applicants In general and so expressed himself. The number admitted pioves this assertion. The docket was called this morning, and usual motions made and pleadings presented, lour cases were set down for trial: Lawrence vs. the Pennsylvania Co. Oewar vs. Fitzhugh Luther Co. Lewandowskl vs. Grasselll Chemical Co. Xoeller vs. Pennsylvania Co. If these four cuses are tried and settlements are not made. It will be impossible for the court to finish the work h f r ( thla vl-P0.1t a-nA will mpan snnthrtr week of court. This Is very unusual and quite improbable, but it looks that way now. AU tE cottrmarftpl8ai with the exception of Noble C. Butler, clerk, whose daughter is seriously ill. This leaves the clerk's duties to Deputy Clerk Surprise, who is keeping the records and administering oaths. The Lawrence case started at 10 o'clock this morning. OBJECT EM CLERK 1EM With the vote in the council standing six and six on the question whether a $200 appropriation for the city treasurer's office for extra clerk hire should be allowed, it was put up to Mayor Smalley at the regular council meeting last night to cast the deciding vote. Mayor Smalley voted in favor of the appropriation. The council men voting in favor of the appropriation were Whltaker, Fascaly, Eggers. Sturm, Markmueller and Hubbard. Those opposing the appropriation were Moriarty, Kahl, Schutz, Hower, Kane and Lauer. The absent councllmen were Stodola, Cotton and Eastwood. Kxtra Help Is Needed. Heretofore the appropriation has been customary, and there prohably would not have been much opposition to it at the present time, were it not for the fact that the city treasurer, William Wolter is in Florida on a combined business and pleasure trip. The $200 appropriation 13 asked for extra clerk hire during the busy time of the tax-paying season, and those of the councilmen who voted against the appropriation felt that the city treasurer should be in his office at this time Instead of being away on a trip. The heaviest work of the taxpaylng season will not come until after May 1st, at which time the check and drafts begin coming in by mall and it is for that time that extra help is needed no matter whether salary money is to come out of the city treasury or out of the city treasurer's pocket. ,No extra help has been put on so far, and owing to Mr. Wolter's absence the office Is working short-handed. Councilman Kane and Lauer both said in explaining their vote last night that they might have voted for the appropriation if the city treasurer had remained at home during the taxpaying season. South Shore Aika Leniency. Attorney F. J. Lewis, for the South Shore line, addressed the council last night in the hope of obtaining leniency In the matter of the ordinance recently introduced by Councilman John Moriarty, which provides that the company shall maintain safety gates at Sheffield avenue nd Towlt street and

TO

lights at its various crossings. Councilmen Moriarty, Lauer and Sturm were reluctant to reconsider the ordinance, but finally the council adopted a resolution providing that the matter of the Towle street gates shall be held In abeyance until the Sheffield avenue gates are placd, after which a committee of the council and the company shall confer on the Towle street matter. Final action was taken on the ordinance amending ' the building ordinance. Also on the $2,400 appropriation for the Columbia avenue sewer. At the request of Sturm and Markmueller lights svere ordered placed In the center of the block on LaSalle and Clark streets. Final action was also taken granting the Beta company permission to lay a temporary track in Johnston street.

HEHRY VJHITAKER FILES STATEMENT Henry Whltaker the republican nominee in the county primaries for sheriff today filed his primary expenses with the secretary of state and the country clerk in accordance with the requirements of the law. On the face of the returns made by Mr. Whltaker, every cent has been spent legitimately. His statement . is as follows and is sworn to before a notary public: Voluntary payment to treasurer of Republican County Central Committee ...1375.00 Postage COO Telephoning 3.00 Circular letters 18.00 Stationary and printingCleveland Printing Co. 15.75 Jacques & Young 22.03 Times newspapers 17.25 Advertising, announcement cards in newspapers . . 7 00 Traveling expenses.- 88.00 Board . . i . .6.00 Total ,.$618.00 JUMPED INTO PROMINENCE Bertha. Gibson, who is scoring a big hit in the title role of "Merry Mary," the new song farce which recently finished an all summer's run at the Whit ney opera house, Chicago, and to be the' attraction at the Orpheum theater for four nights starting Thursday, came into prominence over night. Miss Gibson was playing a small part in "The Midnight Sons" and so small in fact that no one hardly knew she was with the show. When the late Lotta Faust was taken suddenly ill Miss Gibson was thrown into her part with one hour's notice. So nicely did she do that all Broadway knew It the following mornfng, the press being unanimous in her praise for the clever manner in which she portrayed the character. From that very moment Miss Gibson has been accepted as one of musical comedy's biggest favorites. The part she plays in "Merry Mary" is a romping light hearted girl and gives her an opportunity to appear to decided advantage. Accepts the Bond. The board of public works this morning accepted Frank Gavlt's' ten thousand dollar bond for the franchise which was recently granted him. The Monroe street brick paving contract was awarded to Lavene Bros at $1.82 a Square yard. The Ahlborn Construction company received the con tract on the Park Place Westrumite pavement at $1.69 a square yard. A petition for a sewer in Wilcox street was accepted and plans and specifications from the city engineer ordered. South Siders Tonight.'

Look For The Spear 1SH4II D01! The Irish Fellowship club of the Calumet region was formally launched last night at a banquet given at the Masonic temple, Hammond. More than fifty members of the newly-organized social body sat down to a delectable feast which had been prepared by the ladies of the Rosary society of All Saints church and which was served by them. The spirit of good fellowship which was manifested and the IrishAmerican sentiment which pervades the body as expressed last night insures the success and the future growth of the body. Any man in the region with a strain of Irish blood in his beins will be proud of the Irish Fellowship club, and as the organization grows, men of other nationalities will feel themselves honored to be guests at the Fellowship banquets or to have the privilege of addressing the club. ' The O'n and Mo'a Were There. That the Irish Fellowship club of the Calumet region will not be clannish in a picayunish sense with respect to other nationalities appeared from expres sions of respect and laudation for other nationalities. The Irishman, or rather the Irish-American has certain traits and characteristics which blossom to best advantage In an Irish atmosphere, and it is to foster this Irish penchant that gives the Irish Fellowship club a rightful and a prominent place in the social life of the Calumet region. It was a distinctly Irish body that sat down to the banquet last night. There is a probability that in the course of time its scope may be widened to permit persons of other nationalities of holding a membership, but the first banquet was Irish in faces and names. There were the Rellleya and Callahans, and one to make sure that he is an Irishman with the name of O'Callahan. Moran, Malloy, O'Rourke, Kane, Morlaarty. Lynch and the Carrolls were COMMERCE CHAMBER LAUNCHED (Continued from Page one) urged the necessity for an organization of this character. He declared that- he wanted the boostersto boost the organization to everybody, but if there were any knockers that he wanted them to come to him. The constitution and by-laws o the organization, which had been previously read and adopted, are based on those which govern a similar organization In Kalamasoo, Mich. Following the' election of officers Attorney William J. Whinery asked the association to vote a sufficient amount to pay its share of the cost of - printing the report of the joint committee of the commercial clubs of the region, which report Is to be distributed in the interests of securing an appropriation

there. The O'Briens were there, too, although Qulnn O'Brien, one of Chica go's best after-dinner speakers, who was to be out, had to disappoint the club because of another engagement. Phil McLaughlin, who has lost nothing Irish, despite his association with, the Germans for the last forty years, was there, as wore several score more whose names conjure a picture of an indomitable race. , - John II HI I y President. Attorney John F. Rellly of Hammond, president of the club, presided as toastmaster, and while all the speakers spoke in an impromptu manner they were well sustained by the well-known native Irish wit and the inherent eloquence with which each Celt is born, and which he developes as he grows older. Among the speakers were Attorney Dan Moran, John W. Callahan of Hammond. John J. O'Callahan of East Chicago street. Patrick Reilley, John Malloy, Phil McLaughlin, William Lynch and Frank O'Rourke. Interested In Home Rale BUI. The progress of the Irish home rule bill in the English house of commons which is watched with the greatest interest by Irish-Americans, was frequently referred to by the speakers, while all hailed the occasion last night as the' dawn of the Irish era in the Calumet region. The Irish Fellowship club is purely a social body organized along the lines of the Chicago Irish Fellowship club, which Is famous for its Saturday noon luncheons, and which has been a factor in giving the Irish the place that Is rightfully theirs in the social world. The Irish Fellowship club of the Calumet region will give Its dinners or banquets at intervals of several weeks, and if all will be as pleasant as the first one, the membership will grow rapidly. It has already pass the 100 mark. from congress for the Improvement of the Indiana Harbor entrance and canal. This was acted upon favorably. The constitution and by-laws were also ordered printed. Whioer.v Delegated. Mr. Whinery was then made the f ficial representative of the organization on the joint rivers and harbors' committee of the commercial clubs of the region. As such he will rerpesent the Hammond Chamber of Commerce and not the Hammond Business Men's association. The enthusiasm manifested last evening is an indication of the fact that the average person believe that a commercial organization for Hammond is an absolute necessity and the very fact that, the preliminary organization was able to go out and get 200 members in so short a time is an indication of the interest, that is being taken in the project. Kach of the directors Is expected to announce the names of the committeemen he appoints to the committee of

dealer

which he is chairman at the next meeting of the assoclaiton. PLEDGED TO REFORM NEW CITY (Continued from Page one) Spafford was the nominee of the people's ticket. Spafford, however, did very little carnpaigning after the primaries and his defeat can in a measure be laid to this. . Will Gamble for Terms. Ignatz Mankowskl received the highest number of votes, 603 ballots having : been cast for him. Mayor Woszczynski was a close second- with 602. The vote for these candidates also shows the j approximate number of voters who j turned out. The day was a quiet one, and every1 body in West Hammond appears to be ; happy as a result.. According to the Illinois . law the length of the newly elected aldermen's terms is a gambling proposition,- the law providing that the councilmen of each ward shall choose by lottery who is to serve the one year and who the two-year term. This can be done by "flipping" a coin and pulling straws. The new administration becomes empowered as soon as each member is notified and qualifies and a council j meeting can be called as soon thereafter as possible. If this is not done the first regular council meeting shall be held in the regular oder of the old board which in the present case would put it off to May 1st. YOU BET GEORGE HURRIED George Walsh of Indiana Harbor was arrested by Officer Fandrei at State and Hohman in Hammond last night on a charge of drunkenness. This morning before Judge Barnett he was unable to explain how he came to be in Hammond and asked that if he was released he would get out of the city. The court then ordered his release and Walsh left the station on short notice. BURIED AT CROWN PT. (Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., April 17. The burial of Mrs. Fred Zurbriggan of ! Whiting occurred yesterday at the Crown Point cemetery. The long drive was made from Whiting, the funeral procession reaching here about 2 o'clock.

Her trial came up before Judge Barnett, where she pleaded guilty to a charge of drunkenness and was fined $1 and costs, amounting to $11. The La Vendor Cigar is a home proaact. None better.
