"A continuous circuit court in Crown Point and the fact thaf there is 'such excellent interurban service between Gary and the Hub. means that the Garylawyers will . file over 95 per cent of their cases in the county seat courts in the future," said a prominent Gary lawyer to a Times representative yesterday. "Heretofore the majority of , the cases were filed in the Hammond courts, but from what I now learn from the members of the Gary bar a change will be made and the biggest share of the cases will now be filed and tried in your courts, the circuit and

branch of the superior. "As long as we can get equally good court facilities at the Hub we have more of an incentive to come to Crown Point instead of Hammond. A fine ride
into the country and the beautiful city of Crown Point, with the added chance to get our butter, eggs and other farm produce at first hand, makes the Crown Point trip particularly desirable. From now on you'll notice a difference in the number of cases filed in your two courts here." Nature put on her most beautiful garb yesterday, the fall of "the beautiful" making an unusually pretty winter scene in Crown Point last evening. The soft, damp snow, falling without being driven by the wind, clung to tree branches, buildings and fences like a mantle and the city was turned into a fairyland in the space of a few short
hours. The unusual beauty of the snowfall was noticed by all and many photographs were taken of especially pretty scenes. At a recent meeting of the I,ake County Agricultural society the dates for the next Lake county fair were decided upon, that being the only business of importance transacted. August 19, 20, 21. 22 was selected as the dates for the coming fair, which promises to be the largest and best exhibition of its kind ever held in Lake county. The fair officials have already commenced preparations for the big ! event and many new and novel fcatpres and attractions will be secured
for Lake county's premier attraction. Martin, the 15-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Thomen. 'living near Palmer, Ind., died at the home of his parents yesterday from a short siege
of pneumonia. The burial of the infant will occur on Saturday morning, the interment being at the Catholic cemetery. The funeral services will be held at St. Mary's Catholic church. Quite a number of Crown Point people are attending the Clay Products exposition in Chicago at the Coliseum this week. The doctors in Crown Point are kept on the run at present, much sickness being reported, al lof a mild nature, however. Mayor Harold H. Wheeler, who has been seriously ill for several weeks,
was reported as beolng not so well the first of the week, but is said to be Improving again. Vernon Parry has taken a position with the Gary Land company, comr menclng the work this week. The library board held their regular monthly business meeting last evening.

Force The Heat Where It Is Needed.
Yile the hot air furnace is from many standpoints the most satisfactory device for residences, there are few installations where the natural air currents from the furnace properly heat all parts of the house. THE ELECTRIC FURNACE BLOWER forces increased quantities of fresh air into the shell or air chamber of the furnace to be warmed; this air in turn displaces warm air in the furnace and pipes, forcing it rapidly through all outlets, and delivers air to the rooms at a much higher temperature owing to the rapidity of its travel through the pipes. A furnace equipped with AN ELECTRIC FURNACE BLOWER will, without any increase in fuel, deliver a much larger volume of heated air to the room where it is needed. The electric blower outfit consists of a special motor equipped with six blade fan and mounted substanstantially in a sheet iron casing with cover and handle, fitting in an opening about 9x15 inches in the cold air box of the furnace. The types of motors furnished with these furnace blowers are, it is believed, the quietest motors yet produced, and operate at comparatively slow speed.

At night Miss Knaggs expounds the beauties of English poetry to the steel workers themselvesand it Is hinted that these giants tolerate the instruction out of deference to the instructor.

The boy who has the highest standing at the end of the school week wins a glorious red necktie and there is vague promts that the boy who wins the largest number of red neckties during school term will be given a trip to

JUDGE WILL PASS
ON LEGALITY
Slaughter of Carter Bill Puts
Saloon Question Solely Up to Judge Becker.
Attorney Ressler of the .Gary law
firm of Harris and Ressler, received
word from Indianapolis today that the Carter bill, legalizing the licenses of a large number of saloons In Gary had
been killed in the committee.
This ends the effort to have the leg
lslature provide relief for the J3ary saloonkeepers. The democrats positive
ly refuse to enact any liquor legisla tion whatsoever.
This puts the matter up to Judge
Lawrence Becker of the Lake superior court at Hammond, who will now have to pass on the legality of the present
ordinance in Gary.
The county commissioners will probably await the outcome of the case In Judge Becker's court before awarding licenses to the first and only applicants who are eligible under the present law which limits each city to one saloon to
every 500 people. .

night before last, when a large heating
stove which had been closed tightly for
the night began to exhale gas fumes.
Had It not been that they were sleeping in a room some distance from the
apartment in which the stove stood It
is quite probable they would have died
Strange as it may seem, their two children occupying a bed in the same room with their parents, were scarcely
harmed by the poisonous fumes.
Mrs. Wiggins was the first to notice the gas. She was awakened at the
usual hour, an early one for rising, by
the alarm clock. She arose and when
she started to dress she noticed a queer
dizziness. Her head ached furiously
and she believed her staggering con
dition when she attempted to walk to be due to the headache. A little later she aroused Mr. Wiggins. He also had a terrific head ache-and could scarcely
walk.
The couple then realized that soma
