Judge O'Rourke sentenced but one man to death and never cited a single attorney for contempt of court or severely called down any. of the attorneys who appeared before him.

In her investigations she has frequently found cases where she hardly would be warranted to draw on the public poor fund, but where nevertheless material assistance could be given through some charityorganliation.

They own their own home, a three room cottage, and a family owning its own home could hardly depend on the township poor fund, and in this case no demand was made. But neighbors and friends called the attention of Miss Tibbott to the

Fourteen Year Old Daughter of ' Mrs. Erickson Buried Yesterday.

Little Ingrid Erickson. the 14-year-pld daughter of Mrs. Hilma Erickson. 3S23 "Grapevine street, Indiana Harbor, was laid to rest yesterday in Oak Hill cemetery, Hammond, her funeral being about as largely attended of any funeral ever held from the ' Swedish Lutheran mission at 139th and Grapevine streets. The services were at 12 o'clock and the church was crowded with friends, schoolmates and acquaintances of the dead girl and of her mother. Every seat was ta.ken and many were standing. There were two ministers officiating, Rev. Carlson speaking In the Swedish tongue, while Rev. Swanson spoke in English, extolling the virtures of the child and offering words of sympathy to the mortier and brothers. The music was Impressive, the choir singing suitable selections, while there was a, duet sweetly rendered by - the Misses Myron. The schoolmates of the deceased, who were in the- same room with her, were present in a body. They met at the home of Miss Com they. 139th and Hemlock, and marched from there to the church. There were many

bf-auttful floral tributes, including a.

large pillow sent by the Calumet Laundry company, a fine spray sent by the school children, a spray from the confirmation class of which Ingrid had

been a member, a gates ajar from the neighbors and a large heart from the Ladies' Aid society of the Swedish Lutheran mission. While Mrs. Erickson, who Is a widow, had always managed to get along

nicely, supporting herself and her children by her own labor, friends who were Interested in her welfare realized that at a time like this the expenses were heavy and it was hardly to be thought, that she could meet them all without great hardship. A number of plans therefore started subscriptions in her behalf and the neighbors also, and the result was a snug little sum raised which will help defray the unusual expenses. The pall bearers were Margaret Eergmark, Marie Clarine, Mildred Gotberg, Mildred Carlson, Elna Tols and Brunhllde Holstrom. The following

were flower girls: Ruth Ethel Wig, Ruth Nelson Spender.

Christmas. An officer has been ' detailed to the sole duty of seeing that the quarantine is strictly enforced In all homes where there are cases of scarlet fever.

"There have been many instances," said Dr. Townsley, "which have come to my ears of quarantine having been broken by members of the , family. This has simply got to stop. The health department is going to make It hot for all offenders, until the practice ceases. With an officer having' nothing to do but look after the enforcement of the quarantine, it will be comparatively easy to maintain it. or to know the reason why it is not maintained, and to make those who disregard the law, suffer for their offense. We are In earnest about this matter and it Is tjme the people found out that we are. The McKInley school basement will still be used by the high school pupils who have to go there for their manual training.

New York, Dec. 16. Two great English labor leaders, Robert Smile and J. A. Seddon, are now in America. They came as British delegates to the recent convention of the American federation of labor, but they are lingering here for the purpose of studying conditions in this country. Smiley is president of the largest union in the world the Mine Workers Union of England, with 640.000 members, the union that started the general strike in Britain last Aprl, that caused 'more than three million persons to quite their work.

niEY ' SCHOOL IS CLOSED

Owing to the prevailing epidemic of scarlet fever, which, thus far seems to be confined to the children attending the McKinley schools, of East Chicago.

Dr. Townsley of the city health department, who has charge of the work in the East Chicago end of the Twin Cities, decided Saturday to close this building until after the holidays. It was glad news to""the youngsters and to some of the teachers, although others were disappointed. It meant an interruption to their school work, and they had made their plana to go for their vacations later, and did not feel that they could take advantage in all cases of the extra time afforded them by the earlier closing of the school. The children were allowed to go to their class rooms as usual, and arrange their desks, , all of their books having been taken out for the fumigation which took place on Friday. They were then dismissed with Instructions not to return until after the holidays. There was, whooping and yelling on the part of the small boy on his triumphal march homeward this morning and there was gloom of a corresponding degree in the breast of mother, who had counted on the ab

sence of little Johnnie, to prepare for

and given one year's Jail sentence.

A few days ago Special Judge Lucas fined Harry Vanborn a negro who attempted to attack two young white women, J500 and gave him six months in jail. This means two years of confinement. Heretofore negroes have been dealt with too leniently in the police court and they have grown bold and arrogant as a result.

DEATH CLAIMS (IRS. LUZIA KAUFFf.lAfl

Indiana Harbor Lady Dies

at St. Margaret's Hospital in Hammond.

(Special to The Times.)

Indiana Harbor, Dec. 16. Following an illness extending over a period of two weeks, Mrs. Luzia Kaufman died

at St. Margaret's hospital Saturday

morning at 12 o'clock. Death was due to an obstruction of the bowels. The funeral will be held from the St. Patricks church Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock. The requiem high raas3 will bo said and interment will bvs made at Oak Hill cemetery at Hammond. Mrs. Kaufman was taken suddenly ill two weeks ago and her condition becoming alarming, she was removed to St. Margaret's hospital. On account of an unusually weak heart, an operation could not be performed by the aid of an anaesthetic. An operation was the only thing that ould possibly save her life, so she "was placed on the operating table without an anaesthetic. Athough successful Mrs. Kaufman was unable to endure the intense suffering and after suffering a relapse early Saturday morning passed away at 12 a. m. During her residence of over ten years In this city Mrs. Kaufman gained a wide crcle of friends, who held her friendship with highest esteem. She was born in Germany , and came

Someone to handle Alco and Alco Motor Cars

Motor Truck

in This City

We want a good, alert man who has sufficient money, ambition and energy and a clean record to handle our line in this city. We prefer an automobile man, but we would be interested in a bank man, a wholesale grocer, a man who has been in the machinery business, who

has sold, typewriters, farm machinery, and so on. We know the motor truck business offers a greater breadth of opportunity than any of these fields. The man who goes into the business today stands a better chance than the man who

enters tomorrow. Tomorrow there will be many where today there

are few. It is a good business, interesting in the extreme, a new business with the pioneering element left out, profitable, and with a future as wide as the horizon. For . every four horses in this city some day there " will be a motor truck and not far distant. Today there are over 1000 horses to each motor truck.

ALC

Motor Trucks Motor Cars 6 ton 5 ton 3 ton

Someone is going to sell these trucks, create a handsome business and become a force in the community.

Consider the possibilities of business with a single firm. You may sell as many as 20 motor trucks to one concern. One of our dealers sold one truck two years ago to a big company. The sale was executed with no great effort. The second truck was sold three months later

with less effort. Today this company owns 18 Alco trucks and has adopted the Alco as standard. All future purchases will be Alco trucks. The reorder element not only makes the business interestingly profitable but stable as well. Selling Alco trucks

is easier than other trucks. They are

the most widely advertised in Americiu They are the best known and the most favorably known. They are being sold more rapidly than any other. , They are being built in larger quantities. And then, remember, that you are dealing with an organization that is capitalized at $50,000,000, and dates back to 1835 as
