Astor house, a disorderly place at West Hammond, which recently was closed, appeared before Justice Boyer at
Evanston during the day ln answer to a charge of bribery made by Aid. Otto Planer of West Hammond. Rosenbaum took a change of venue to Justice Sam
uel Harrison and a continuance was
granted to Dt. 30.
Rosenbaum was arrested two weeks
ago after Planer asserted no pustice ln
West Hammond would issue a warrant on the charge he made. Rosenbaum some time ago swore out a warrant charging the West Hammond mayor with accepting a bribe. Little weight was given to his accusation by Miss Virginia Brooks and others who are trying to make West Hammond a decent place to live. BtnU Official Vanlfihrs. Andrew S. Anderson, former clerk of the Burnham school board, cannot be found. With his disappearance comes a story of alleged graft in the board. Anderson, according to his friends, made revelations In an affidavit to Assistant State's Attorney Erlckson. J. L. Darling of the Burnham Law and Order league said Anderson and Rein Rau, former president of the school board, signed a voucher for $553 for brick for the school yard, which waa not delivered. It Is said Policeman J. Patten receiver the money. Mr. Darling said Anderson started suit against Patten to recover it. "Following this suit Anderson, was
approached by a stranger who offered him a ticket to Canada and some money," explained Mr. Darling. "Anderson waa told he would be killed If he did not get out. That waa three weks ago. We have not heard of him since. We are afraid he has been murdered. ; . ' Miss Brooks and members of the Burnham organization continued their examination of the books of the police magistrates of Burnham and West Hammond at the office of Assistant County Attorriey Johnson.

NO TRACE OF AUTO SLAYERS
Gary police have been unable to get any trace of the auto slayers of the unknown young man, believed to be Theodore M',honlak, who was run down at Twenty-third avenue and Broadway late Saturday night. Beyond no other clue than that the autoists came from Ridge Yoad direction, that there were two of them and that they ' were in a two-passenger grey car which shot up the street without stopping, the police have no other trace of the slayers. Chief Martin has several detectives at work on the case and something tangible may come to light tomorrow. A search will be made in all Lake county towns and cities for a machine answering the description of the one occupied by the man-killing Joy-riders.
