CIRCUIT

LAKE COUNTY COURTS AT A GLANCE 14 ICR SUPERIOR COtRT, ROOM NO. I Judge Virgil S. Retter. Information. Court has adjourned for tha summer. UKB 5t PERIOR COURT. ROOM NO. 3 Jod( Uwrnrt Bffkrr. Information. Th court has ordrd that an ad CLABBY EAGER TO S OLD FOE, . Ed Smith, sporting writer and fight Xpert of Chicago, made "Jimmy" Clabby the subject of one of his Interesting articles, and has the following: .to say about the Hammond boy and his prospective Joust with Mike Gibbons: "There Is a .thorn In the side of Mike Gibbons that the St. Paul man should pluck out before he can consider himself a champion. Said thorn Is walking around here and answering to the name of Jimmy Clabby, now a Hammond bonlface, but a fighter still for all of that. "Jimmy came Into town the other flay to have a visit with his old running mate. Ad Wolgast. and Incidentally to take a trip to Milwaukee with the lightweight champion. Both are decidedly well known there and usually make their visits together. "Clabby would like nothing better than to get another shot at Mike. It cannot come too soon for him and he would make a lot of concessions to the St. Paul star in order to get him Into a New York ring for a ten-round display or something like that. " "Mike has achieved a wonderful; reputation down east because of his cpd and skill.' Jimmy told a little bonch In the American office the other afternoon. 'Well. I'm glad he's doing well and that they like htm because that ought to make him a pretty good card with me down there. I've had Mike In the ring and he certainly showed speed against me. I never aaw a man do so much backward running a3 he did that night in Milwaukee. And there Is still talk in Milwaukee about what a rotten showing he made against me in that contest. .'"I don't know much about Mike's weight, but I'll do 150 pounds for him Or anybody ' else. We boxed before at 145 and I weighed only 143 then. "I've taken on some and I guess he has, too. But the fact that I can do 150 doesn't make me refuse to meet any and all mlddleweights. I'll go right up to 160 pounds with any of them. VAN SICKLE BUYS ' BIJOU PLAY HOUSE Charles W. Van Sickle, who owns ' the Gem theater on Broadway in ' Gary, has Just closed a deal by which he becomes the purchaser of the Bijou theater In Hammond. x j This theater was owned and man aged by William Craick, although his father-in-law, Jacob Schloer, had an Interest In the enterprise. The purchase Includes the purchase of the lease and equipment. The lease covers the entire building. owned by William H. Gostlln, and the two stores In front of the theater. The building rents for $200 a a month, but $50 a month is derived from the stores. t The Bijou theater Is the largest In j the city outside of the Orpheum and j Hammond theaters. It has a seating' capacity of 500. It waa the success of the Bijou that pointed the way to the building of the Orpheum, Hammond's finest theater. I ine new lessee announces that he will run three acts of vaudeville and two pictures for a dime. That is expected to make the theater more popular than ever. There will be three changes of program a week. The WHY WOMEN SUFFER Many Hammond Women Arc Learning the Cause. Women often suffer. not knowing the cause. Backache, headache, dizziness, nervousness. Irregular urinary passages weakness, languor Each a torture of Itself. ' Together hint at weakened kidneys.' Strike at the root get to the causes.' No other remedy more highly endorsed than Doan's Kidney Pills. j Recommended by thousands j Endorsed at home. j Here's convincing testimony from a TTflmmnnd ciflxin. 1 t Mrs. Nellie Shearer. 78 r,ummer avenue, Hammond, Ind., says: "You may continue to use the statement I gave recommending Doan's Kidney Pills some years ago. This medklne has given me positive relief from backache and other kidney disorders and I cannot say too much in its praise." If your back aches if your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedy ask distinctly for Doao'i Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs Shearer had the remedy backed by home testimony. 50c all stores.

HIE LAKE-IOIlTER CIRCUIT COURT. Judge YV. C. McMakta. At Valparaiso Court hat adjourned for the term. PonTEIt itJPERlOIl COURT, .lodge Harry B. Tuthlll. At Valparaiso. Court adjourned. GET AT IK GIBBONS "Why shouldn't Mike do the same if he's the champion they make him out in New York? Boxing ia a busi ness and one must get his pile out of going is good. Gibbons never caji j make another nickel out of the welterweight cless. I'd starve if I had to depend upon men of my own weight. Thai's why I'm making concessions all the time. Why. in Australia I boxed Dave Smith, who weighed 165 pounds, and any of the other big fellows that could draw a cent with me." Wolgast also has somo strong ideas on the matter of a real fighter giving away weight. It Is Wolgast's Idea that a real fighter need never fear to be a bit liberal in this respect. He cites his own case as a strong one In point, although Ad is not boastful about It. He says he always could make 128 pounds and fight strong, yet Is willing right now to let a man like Packey McFarland come In at 135 pounds. And the bigger a man Is that is, the higher his class the more he should be willing to give away, according to the Wolgast basis of reasoning. In discussing the middleweight tangle of the day Clabby has an Idea, and expresses It freely, that Eddie McGoorty is the best of the present day mlddleweights. He bases this fact on his opinion that Billy Papke is all through and never again can come back strongly with a first class man. Clabby campaigned with Papke in Australia and claims to have good grounds for his belief. "Jimmy made money in Australia and like it over there, because he attained great personal popularity. Jim my got Into business in Hammond as soon as he returned from his last trip to the under side of the world, and Is one of the few of the present day fighters who Is "salting" It down for future use. Mayhap he contracted the habit from his old side kicker, the lightweight champion. At any rate. James has he habit." change In management will take place next Monday. Van Sickle has been In the show business for the past four years and was one of the pioneers in the five cent theater business in Hammond. .Accordingly nis experience la ex pected to prove valuable In his new e8t and most Important enterprise. JUDGE BECKER HELPS OUT BONIFACES " On Wednesday, Aug. 7, Judge Law rence Becker will hold another ad Journed term of court. The rrime ob ject la to credit the Gary saloonkeepers to come in and get their writs of man date compelling the city comptroller of Gary to grant them licenses. Were it not for the kindness of the. court in remaining in adjourned ses sion the Gary saloonkeepers' licenses would explr and they would then be in j the position of new applicants and " wouia noi oe arne 10 get licenses at 11. There are a grnat many lawyers who are of the opinion that the supreme court of the state will reverse Judge Johannes Kopelke in his ruling that th comptroller should Issue licenses. But until the supreme court is heard from it will continue to be necessary for the Gary saloonkeepers to get an order of the court before the comptrol ler will issue their licenses. Another question that has been raised Is the question as to whether a grand Jury can bo legally called In vacation time when the court is holding adjourned terms. Deputy Prosecutor Ralph W.' Ross would like to have a grand Jury called so that he could have Indictments returned against a number of murderers and others. This would enable him to proceed with the trial of these cases the thing next term and would ellmin ate some of tho law's delays. MODERN HOTEL IS ASSURED (Continued from Page one; said to include an attractive lobby, a fine large dining room, a buffet, drummer's display roooma, a passenger elevator, clerk's desk, barber shop and . all of the other conveniences of a firstclass hotel. The workingmen will be put to work at once to make tha necessary improve-

merits. It Is estimated that It will cost

at least $15,000 for the owners to convert the building, which was Intended for mercantile purposes, Into a ho New EVialpment. Mr. and Mrs. Mee will utilize that part of their equipment which is available, and expect to purchase. In the neighborhood of $5,000 worth of additional furniture. While the new hotel will not be a Blackstone or a St. Regis, it will be up-to-date and will serve the purposes of a small hotel perfectly. One splendid thing about the build Ing is the fact that it is fireproof. It has been made fireproof all the way through and In this respect It is the equal of any hotel in Chicago. . On account of the heighth of the building the roooma will be pleasant and comfortable. Each room will have an outside exposure. Just at this time when the demand for hotel facilities is Increasing it Is expected that the new hotel will be a godsedn to the community. . C. 0. SEFTON FOR PROSECUTOR At the 31st Dlst. democratic , Judicial convention In the First National Bank building this afternoon Attorney C. O. Sefton of Gary was unanimously nominated for prosecuting attorney. At the last county convention Sefton was endorsed and he was given the privilege to select his own delegates to the convention. In the absence of County Chairman ohn A. Gavlt John Dorman presided. Quite a number of democrats gathred In Hammond for the occasion. MOOSERS NOMINATE BEVERIDGE (Continued from Page one) ate Fred Landis for lieutenant governor, A. A. Baker for treasurer, Clifford Jackman of Huntington for attorney general and John Carr of Indianapolis for supeintendent of public instruction. The crowd at the convention Is esti mated to be 3.000, and every county in the state is represented. There was much cheering and enthusiasm snd Fred Landis stirred the crowd with his key note speech. ATTORNEY WILSON DENIES REPORT Attorney Jesse E. Wilson, former as sistant secretary of the Interior, under the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, denied that he has announced his candidacy for congress on the bull moose ticket. He said that ha understood that he hadn selected as a delegate to the na tional convention of the progressive party at Chicago, but he has not yet been officially apprised of the fact. He said that his presence in Lafayette was due to the fact that he was trying a lawsuit there. However, he says that he subscribes to the principles of the national progressive party. The Indianapolis Star came out with a statement day before yesterday to the effect that Wilson had announced his candidacy for congress on the progressive ticket. Wilson was a great friend and admir er of Gifford Pinchot, the ex-chief for ester, and has been a progressive for years. He is probably the most repre sentative progressive in the Tenth dis trict NEW CASES IN CIRCUIT COURT (Special to Tho Times.) Crown Point, Ind., August 1.

Problems of conduct are never dis cussed in Hammond where democracy decrees that each individual shall de cide for himself the proper proceedure. Groggy old London but recently adJusted its monocle and racked its tired brain to solve a question that Ham mond found absurdly simple. "How long shall we take for lunch eon?" asked the lords and laddies alike. Parliament, paleontologists and panhandlers took part in the argu ment. But it never feazes Hammond. Imaeulate gentlemen arise at the banquet board in our locality and preach the doctrine of procrastination. otherwise known as Fletcherlzation, but nobody cares. It simply passes in one ear and out the other there's nothing there to stop it. The citizens of the community lying Just to the east of Miss Virginia Brooks have banished all possibilities of an argument such as London, New York and Racine, Wis., experienced. They decided each for himself. In a casual conversational way a census was taken and the result tabu lated. Six out of every ten men In the Hammond building leave for lunch at 12:15 and are back at work by ten minutes of one, The merchant, supposedly the busi est of men, takes from one and a half till two and a half hours. . The physi cian, generally conceded to be possess ed of more time than patients is for tunate to have a half hour In which to eat. Lawyers of course take time in accordance with the amount of work on hand and so generaly kill three hours or go without. Newspaper men also vary. They eat in accordance to the amount Of money on hand, and a: a rule they bone the boss for two bits or work a stand off. As they eat standing up, and there is only a limit' ed amount of grub given with' each beer they take but little time. Some in fact can eat a full meal between the time the bartender spots them and the moments that pass before he can round the bar and administer the sum mary ejection. (Its a funny world we took away- from: the' Indians.) The parenthials denote the privacy of this statement. It Is not an editorial com ment but a repetorial opinion. vmce employes as a rule nave an hour's nooning as do store clerks. Mechanics have the same time alloted them for lunch while factory workman average on the whole about forty-five minutes. The small boy now has all day but his mother has the least timo of all. She is fortunate If she gets time to eat.

John and William Arnold, both mill men and twins, fell out yesterday over the weather.

And the longer they argued the hotter the previous day grew in tha estimation of John, while its frigidity increased cor respondingly in the estimate of Wil liam.
