CALLS JUSTICE SHOPS FARffi COMEDIES East Chicago Man Defends Position of Jurors in Insurance Case.

The Times is in recipt of the following communication from East Chicago:

Editor Time?: In your issue of Dec. the premises. 24th there apeared an article under the The office force of both the First heading, "Jury Hung In Insurance j Calumet Trust and Savings bank of Case." Not knowing from what which Judge Riley is the vice president source your Information came relative ! and manager, and of the Calumetto this case and in view of the fact Kennedy Land company of which he is

that the latter part, of said article seeks to place the two jurors viz: J. P. Day and H. Bainbridge at fault because a verdict was not rendered in favor of the defendant insurance co, I would like to explain more fully the facts In the case. In the first place (as the evidence showed) this man Greenwald was not merely an agent, but was a recognized "district manager' 1'or the Midland Co., who had previously issued his receipt for moneys collected by him from the complainant, Mr. Sakacs. All payments made by Mr. Sagacs on his policy so far as the jury could learn entered and recipted for by the district manager Greenwald with the exception of the $10 which did not appear In tho receipt book, but which Greenwald admitted he got and had not returned to Mr. Sakacs, although the Midland had denied him re-instatement on his policy. At no time during the deliberations of the jury was there any motion be fore them tending to the rendition of a verdict in favor of either the defend ant company or the complainant. There was a motion to determine whether the complainant had a "cause for action" or not, and the vote on this motion stood four to one that there did exist a cause for action. Lafer on two of these four jurors for some unexplained reason, unles the reason be technical, saw fit to change their minds. The jury's deliberations therefore were all upon this one point and as the writer conscionetlously believes that a corporation employing agents or managers should be responsible for the acts of said manager and desiring to be right and just in all matters involving his fellowmen, could rot hon estly do otherwise in the above case. The writer in his younger days has taken part in some real 'farce comedy" from the playwright's viewpoint. But I must say that the average Justice shop farce comedy (mostly farce) has everything else backed entirely off the boards. Yours for universal Justice. ONE OF THE JURORS. HE WILL LAY OUT A WHILE LONGER Poker Slayer Arouses the Ire of Hammond City Judge This Morning. The ire of Judge Barnett of the Hammond city court was aroused this morning when a poker player declared that he would rather lay out his fine in jail at Crown Point than pay it. "Just for that contempt of court," said Judge Barnett, "I'll add a sentence of thirty days in jail." For the second time within the past two months the Hammond police department swooped down on an East Hammond poolroom Tuesday evening, causing the arrest of the proprietor and four men who were engaged in a friendly game of poker. They were brought to the central police station where a $50 appearanoo bond was secured, their cases being set- before City Judge Barnett this morning." They were Ruda Krlstush, William Seru, Pasco Tudor, Mike and John Illco. The pool room which is located at 1104 Columbia avenue was raided by Officers Bush and Wailak. For some time the police have been annoyed by the gambling that has been going on at East Hammond and after warnings had been issued, littlo attention was paid. Officers Bush and Wailak learned that there was a big game going on in the rear of the pool room and caused the arrest of. the players. John lie), who was arrested as the gaming house keeper was discharged by City Judge Barnett, no evidence being brought out that he knew the men were playing cards. Illco took possession of the place only last Sunduy. Because he was fined $35, Ruda Krlstush roused the Indignation of the court when he said: "Sooner than pay the money I will lay out the fine at Crown Point," to. which Judge Barnett added to sentence of thirty days more for contempt of court. Mike Ilco, Wm. Seru and Pasco Todor were fired $15 each. IT LOOKS A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS JUDGE! 'Bachelor' Apartments Are Fitted' Up for Indiana Harbor Squire. Judge Walter J. Riley of Indiana Harbor is now the proud possessor of about the most elegant bachelor apartments to be found in Lake county. He has had fixed up for him three rooms and bath in his building in Guthrie street, adjoining the Commercial Club building. The suite represents everything in comfort and luxury that a man

in a state of single blessedness could possibly desire. While the -judge -is footing the bill for all this elegance, he had no idea until Christmas even when he took possession of it, what the furnishings were to be like. He gave the furnishers carte blanche to equip the rooms with whatever seemed desirable, and the result is what "Al" Westberg describes as an example of "oriental opulence.' Incidentally it is understood that Mr. Westberg is to have a key to president have put in all their recent spare time in preparing the rooms for occupancy. When Judge Riley walked in Christmas eve to see whether all his furniture had been delivered, and to take, a look about, he switched on ; the electric lights and to his amaze-; ment found everything In perfect' order. Every picture had been hung, every rug laid, the massive bed had been made up and the suite represented all of the comforts of home and then some. It has taken since about the first of last November to prepare the rooms for occupancy, they having been thoroughly remodeled and renovated and fixed in suitable shape to contain their present elegant appointments. Were It not for the fact that the suite represents such an admirable bachelor's lair, suspicions might be aroused as to'Judge Riley's possible Intent to separate himself from his present state of celibacy, but it would appear as though these arrangements should settle all speculation as to his possible intentions to take unto himself a wife for the present at least. XMAS TELEGRAM FROM JUDGE GARY On Tuesday President Roy G. Parry of the Family Dormitory club of the Gary Y. M. C. A. wired to Judge and Mrs. Elbert Gary at New York Christmas greetings. Late that evening the steel corporation chief and endower of the Y. M. C. A. sent back to response to President Parr.

' STEEL MILLS WERE CLOSED Pursuant' to an order Issued by Judge Gary all of the plants of the United States Steel corporation ceased their operations for Christmas eve. Only the blast furnaces at Gary works were in operation. It is imposlble to stop the furnace fires as it would require several days to get them in working order so they burn constantly unless they are to be shut down for a lengthy period as a result of Judge Gary's order all but 2,000 employes of the 8,500 men at the Gary works of the Illinois Steel company were able to spend Christmas with their families. Very little work was done at the sheet and tin plate company or at the bridge plant.
