DISTILLERY BREAKING RECORDS

How Biar Tim Knsrlehadt, duke of Ridge road and Gary alderman managed to squeeze J25 out of J. Pierpont Morgan for the Gary democratic campaign fund Is a matter of conjecture for Big Tim Is out of town and there'll bo no relating of details until be comes back from a Michigan trip. ' Just before election Big Tim, who Is treasurer of tho democratic party in Gary, found that finances were low. He decided to give a grand benefit ball. A part of the attraction was the famous golden-Viued brown full dresa suit that he wore at the affair. Big Tim sent out tickets right and left. J. Pierport Morgan got 1:5 one

day when he ope ned his mall. Ha for- i warded the coin to the Gary alderman.! J. Ogden Armour and other notables j also came across. J. Buffington, j president of the Illinois Steel company, received CO tickets and $50 was sent by him. When the story that Big Tim managed to extract $25 from Pierpont Morgan there was wonder on all sides.

John K. Fitzgerald says that the Hammond Distilling Co. is doing more business now than It has over done in the history of the concern. It Is strange that about one-third of the distilled goods of the company is denatured alcohol. . Tu.a-ilajinoiid.PistiJlicg -Co. is about

the only company which was not prevented from making denatured alcohol by the trust. Fitzgerald says that his plant is now consuming 4,400 bushels of corn a day, more than it lias ever handled before. The company is paying $24,000 a day to the government in revenues on the 22.000 gallons of spirits that are being manufactured. Most of the corn used is new corn, the old supply having been exhausted. Corn Is being bought at from 43 to 46 cents a bushel.

SCAFFOLD FALLS; PAINTER LIVES W. A. Dlbblee, 424 Indiana avenue, a painter, had a miraculous escape from death last Wednesday when a scaffolding, erected at one of the buildings of the Prestolite company in Hammond, fell on him. A mass of wreckage fell over him, but he escaped with a few lorn ligaments which will lay him up for two weeks or more. The c;iuse of the accident is unknown.

Kirls to take up the time that would ordinarily be occupied by a full bill of vaudeville. And there is developed and brought to a pretty conclusion a plot that is ahead of the usual run of ilke performances, and one that leaves the audience in a jo ful mood.

What is sail by tho West Hammond vice crusaders to have been another

effort to tilt the " id," was nipped in the bud last nistht, when Chief Okraj arrested a woman who had been seen

I with a man goin into Moor's place, j The woman is said to bo a resident of Hammond. She furnished a two hundred dollar bond and her trial will I come up nertt Tuesday at two o'clock, j The arrest was made in front of th I saloon of Henry Peters, where the woman and her companion had gone to, j after Alderman C. .1. Wunsehel, one of : the most active vice foes had summoned tho police. At ttu Peters place they ! ordered lunch, and it was after s!ie emerged from the place that she was , placed under arrest on the charge of ! disorderly conduct. This charge is is ! understood was however not placed J against her for her conduct with her I companion, but rather for her behavior i toward the policeman. In defence of ! her foin to the Moor place, it is said that she will say in ..-ourt that she went ' there to telephone, but those who claim to know the facts say that Con Talt.y j and Fid Imnley "tipped" off Moor to get thes couple out of his place, and that I they then went to Peters' place.

RELEASED ON HABEAS CORPUS John Alfred Larsen has started habeas corpus proceedings against Leo McCormick. chief of police of East Chicago, to be released from jail there. He was held on the charge of wife desertion, but owing to the fact that the warrant was defective he was released. The authorities in Pennsylvania caused his arrest.

A movement is on foot to have the city of Hammond or the board of education of the city acquire the roll of films which were produced and shown here some time ago. Just what will come of the movement is not known. There may be some question as to the price that the films are worth. It might be desirable to have the films purchaser! for future use, but the matter will have to be gone into very thoroughly. Mr. Behan. the representative of the Progress Moving Picture company, was in the city today regarding the matter and it may come up at a coming session of the council.

The Commission on Industrial and' Agricultural Education of, which F. i D. IdcElroy, principal of the Ham-; niond High School is a member, made an exhaustive report to Governor Marshall yesterday on its findings

after an investigation extending over a year. This committee was appointed by the Governor by authority of the last General Assembly. The report declares that "the courses of study in our elementary and high schools are directed largely toward a preparation for college, to which only

a meager percentage go, and recommends the enlargement of the school work to include departments for industrial, agricultural and domestic science education. The commission strongly urffps changes in the school system so as to prlve the best possible preparation for life work for all people, whether they earn their liring with their heads or their hands. A copy of a legislative bill providing for the encouragement and supervision of vocational education along lines recommended by the commission was made a part of the report submitted to the governor. The bill will be introduced at the approaching session of the legislature, probably by Senator Will A. Yarling of Khelbyvllle, a member of the commission. Work Withont Payment.

"HAT IN THE RING"

GARY SALOONMEN ARE ANXIOUS Several Gary saloonmen today obeyed the mandate of the supreme court and made preparations to pay In an additional $300 city license fee. The common council last winter, in defiance of the legislature, reduced the city fee from $500 to $200. Many saloonmen paid the former fee and when the city officials refused to accept the latter amount others appealed to the superior court and won out. An appeal was then taken, the superior court being overruled. Anti-saloon league representatives, it is believed, may try to invalidate all licenses of saloonmen who paid only $200.
