HEAR SPLENDID

AT The party of Hammond men including F. R. Kchaaf, Jr.. V. S. Rpjter, H. M. Johnson. Dr. H. E. Sharrer and Wr P. Ray and others who attended the annual banquet of. the Hamilton Club in Chicago last Saturday night are back with great praise for the success of the affair. They heard Jim Watson make one of the best speeches of hi life and saw the factions Into which the Republican party has split called uporj to "get together" by former Governor Chase S. Osborn of Michigan, Referring to the club as the leading Republican organisation, the speaker called upon it to take the initiative in inviting the leaders of the Progressive party and of the Republican party to a conference to seek common grounds. 'The invitation to attend could be made general, and I would send special invitation to Theodore Roosevelt and President Taft, to Senators LaFolleite, Dixon. Cummins and , Root, to Mr. Barnes, Mr. Flinn, Mr. Fairbanks, Govarnor McGovern," said the speaker, The East Chicago Woman's club entertained Saturday afternoon at a large reception, which proved to be one of the most brilliant club affairs ever held in the Twin Cities. Over two hundred were present. Odd Fellows Hall which had been engaged for 1;he ocaslon being in most attractive array to receive the large assemblage of handsomely gowned women, who represented the cream of society jand clubdom not only of East Chicago, but a large representation from outside cities. The guests included residents of Hammond, Whiting, Indiana Harbor, Chicago and Crown Point. The hall had been elaborately decorated. DeBrlae's orchestra stationed within a setting of palms, and ferns, played its best. There were palms and ferns tastefully distributed throughput the hftl,, and red and white carnations, the club flower were conspicuously fn evidence. The chief feature in the decorations centered about the ceqtral serving table which was stationed under the handsome dome, a feature of the illuminating system of Odd Fellows hall. Ropes of smllax depended from this reaching to the table and handsomo linen and rich silver together with the IIL1E FOR Does Miss Virginia Brooks refuse to desert that dear old west ttammonu for any matrimonial temptations? Well you can bet your last trading stamp she refuses. James L. Boyce, a lawyer residing at '735 Grand boulevard, In Chicago, says he is going to marry Miss Virginia Brooks. He was so aure of it Saturday that he obtained a marriage license. James must be crazy with the cold weather. Virginia Brooks, suffragist and re former, whose militant metnoas nave gained for her the sobriquet "Joan of Arc of West Hammond," says: The very idea? I hardly" even know the man. I have heard or rum in a general way and may have met him once or twice. But be married to him never!" Storming is one of the best little ways to win a reform campaign, In the j opinion of Miss Brooks, but when Cupid ! applies the 'same storming method to win a glrl'a heart,' well, "it is the most audacious thlng'ever heard of." Gives Vl Love, The girl who has fought saloonkeepers in the streets as well as in the courts and has led small "armies" of women against them also has very decided views about love. "Love, as I understand it,' she says. Is a thing that grows on a person in x time of leisure and relaxation. I have had very littel time In tne last lew var tar such relaxation, and there consequently has been little oportunity for me to fall in love." Those who best know Miss Brooks believe she has had time even during her anti-dive crusades. Even she does r.ot deny that Cupid has entered into her life. But as for this man boyce, weil she 'Just sputtered her wrath told yesterday at 74Z Lincoln Park boulevard, where she Is now living, about the marriage license. "A friend called up and said she un derstood I was going to get married," said Miss Brooks. "I answered That new to me; who's the man?- Then tne friend named Mr. Boyce, whom I scarcely know at all. I asked how she happened to have heard that, and alie replied: "Oh, that is straight, an ngni. He ha taken out the marriage license.' "I was so astonished that I coma hardly speak for a minute." Khwi !! Caaaally. "What do you know of Mr. Boyce and where have you met him?" she asked. was "Mr. Boyce Is of Quite a prominent family, and I knew him In a general wav. He is & lawyer. I believe, and thlBk I met him in West Hammond, pftssibly on some sort of Investigation. I had no affiliations with him, however.

CLUB BANQUET who also named a score or mora of other men. ,' "The Republican party is sick." continued Mr. Osborn. fThere- is no- deubt about it. Last year it was delirious. Now the fever Js broken, let tis hope permanently. The patient is weak and anaemic, but convalescing, and I believe it has enough vitality to warrant a prophecy of recovery. During its delirium the party was repudiated by the country. I d not believe that this turning of the people's backs is necessarily permanent." Outlines Party's Duty. The speaker paid that the Republican party must da things as it did in its "stout young manhood." The party might , take up government ownership of raijroads as the government at present is exercising "ignorant and Incomplete supervision without responsibility." It might take up the subject of employment slaves. Of this class ho said there are more than black slaves to free when the Republican party was formed. There were also two other serving tables, end handsomely appointed. At the first named, Mrs. S. T. Poor and Mrs. Ed Plckard poured, while at the two other tables the presiding ladies were Mesdames A. G. Schlieker and John Hill at one, and Mesdames George H. Summer and I- W. Giles at the other. ' At each of the tables the pourers were assisted by two girls also members of the club, who passed the refreshments. These consisted of tea and dainty wafers, mints etc. The guests were met at th door by Mrs. George B. Crummy who conducted them to the receiving line and made the first introductions. The line was composed of the directors, the general officer and the chairmen of the various sections of the East Chicago Woman's Club. About the hall were stationed a number of club women to see that the guests found the refreshment tables and were duly served. These were Slesdaroes Charles Flchter, John Howard, W. E. Jones, Delia Stiller, Zeph Campbell, Leo SIcCormack and J. G. Allen. Sirs. Allen also helped in the kitchen part of the time the others here being Mesdames George W. Lewis and Ed Jones.

He told of his j wants and mentioned the name of Miss ; lirooka. i Then the clerk looked up and , smiled. "Yts, I am going to marry a suffragette," said Mr, Boyce. Marriage licenes No. 618,107 was duly filled out and legal permission was thereby granted for the marriage of James L. Boyce, 33 years old, to Virginia Brooks, 26 years old. Mr. Boyce is the son of S. Leonard Bovce, a lawyer, and resides at the t family home, 3735 Grand boudevard. "Call me up Monday. I will explain everything then. I do not know where James is at the present time," said a voice believed to "be that of Mrs. S. Leonard Boyce yesterday. Kefaw To Explain. S. Leonard Boyce, father of the prospective bridegroom, opened thet door of his home just far enough to greet a reporter last night. "No you can't talk to me about th;s matter,' he said. "I have nothing to say except this you want to be awful careful what you publish." Mr. Boyce emphasized his remarks by alamming the door. It was said that James L, Boyce was not at home.

Judge Kopelke's Bill to Improve Code of Practice Considered. ; A meeting of the Lake County Bar association was held in superior court room No. 2 this forenoon, with President Moran presiding. Most of the time was devoted to the consideration of the various sections of Judge Kopelke's proposed bill to improve the code of practice. The association passed on each 'section separately, after being heard the committ "" section. On most froposals, the association voted with the committee, but no ef?ort was made to amend any of Judge Kopelke's propositions, the association having taken the position that It would vote either for or against them. Ope proposal which, if it become law and which was recommended this morning, will undoubtedly prove to be a benefit tq the poorer class of clients. This proposition provides that a change of venue In civil cases be subject to the j court's discretion. This alone with more than a dozen other section was adopted. Aftar a more or less Informal discussion of Judge Kopelke's bill, the association went Into executive session to I hear reports from the grievance com1 mittee, one member of tha associa tion having preferred charges or unprofessional practice against four of the members of the organization.
