The case of Andrew Volcsko, Andrew Cupka and Joseph Fecrko of Gary, against Flora Rose and Florence Conney of Chicago, growing out of a lease on a building in Gary, was dismissed in the federal court at Indianapolis yesterday on motion of counsel for the complainants. The complainants alleged that a short time after they had leased the building it was condemned. They asked damages to the amount of $15,000. A counterclaim by the defendants for $5,075 on the two-year lease was also dismissed.

CHURCH

Unity Council, Knights or Columbus, through its trustees yesterday purchased the old Baptist church property on Sibley, east of Oakley avenue, the consideration for the property, which

includes a 50-foot lot and the old frame church building, having been $4,500. They expect to take possession by July 1st and convert the present building into a lodge and club house. Eventually they hope to supplant it with a more modern structure, which will be devoted either to lodge purposes exclusively, or if the development of the street warrants It, a building which will serve the double purpose of lodge and business. The movement among the K. of C.'s to get their own home is an old one, and the deal of yesterday Is the culmination of these efforts. With a membership of 300, the present project is an easy one to finance, although the organization does not quite feel Itself Btrong enough yet to proceed with the building of a home such as It hopes eventually to have. For the present the old church building, it figures will Well serve the lodge's purposes. BaptUtn Ready to Bnlld. Unity council now has Its headquarters In the Northern Indiana Gas &

Electric company's huilding on Hohman street, the lodge leasing from Anton Tapper. In point of location this lodge room Is one of the most desirable in the city. It can be made homey and cozy, and will very likely be much sought after by other organizations after the K. of C.'s vacate. They have a lease on it which Is still to run one year and eight months, which they will sub-fet It. The Baptist church people are get-

1TIIAIED BILLS FOUND

With the finding of over S300 In

mutilated bills, the Hammond police department were given another mystery to untafhgle this morning. The ownerless currency was discovered by a city employe, Steve Stockovich, while he was cleaning up some rubbish on Dteroit street along the Monon spur, which runs into the Conkey Publishing company1 grounds. At the first glance at the mutilated greenbacks, Stockovich opened his eyes with amazement and for a second time pinched himself to see whether he was dreaming or seeing things. Ones, twos and fives and yellow backs lay in a heap, partially covered with rubbish, and for the time being Stockovich imagined himself a multi-millionaire. Different from other stories, Stockovich found his dreams of buying a new suit of clothes and blowing himself to a Havana cigar were not to be realized. The bills were found to be

valueless, as only a small end of each greenback could be found, gathering the small pieces of 920, $10, eta..

into a pile, Stockovich took his find to the Central station, where Chief Austgen is endeavoring to find out how, when and by whom the mutilated money was placed there. Officers differed in their opinons as to how the currency was mutilated, to whom It belonged and how it came to be there and some of the reasons and

I beliefs are; It might be the spoils of ;a bank robber who tore off the ends of j the currency and sent the alance into the government to be exchanged for ' new bills. The package might have : been run over by a train and might ; have found its resting place by being ' swept out of a box car. Send in your answers to the puzzle department of i the Hammond central police station.

Fun and frolic reign this week at the Orpheum, where Mart Franklyn and his company of entertainers are presenting "Don't Lie to Your Wife." The tabloid abounds In humorous lines, comedy situations and funny

songs. The company apparently seegs to keep the audience laughing throughout the show, and this the members succeeded in doing at the

performance yesterday. The play readily scored a hit, being one of the

best tabloids seen here this season.

Mart Franklyn as a German comedian is good and his comedy lines. Jokes and songs are the hit of the show. He is ably assisted by a company of-prin-

cipals and a chorus of girls, whose

numbers Bhow careful training.

What makes "Don't Lie to Your

Wife" such a success are its latest

song hits, which are introduced in the most novel manner possible. "You

Great Big Blue-Eyed Doll," as sung

by Miss Ide Neale and the chorus, th

Virginia Brooks, world famous as a

Hammond's Joan of Arc, who rid the worst vice infected city in the universe of protected crime, has written a powerful play entitled "Little Lost Sister," which will play at Hammond theater Friday (Decoraton day). May 30. The play deals with the workings of the system, an organization that preys upon the young girl forced by conditions to work for a pitifully low wage. The young girl who has gone astray, the little lost sister on the downward path, the reform mayor, the astute power behind the system and his hirelings, are accurately portrayed in Virginia Brooks' play. The cabaret scene in the second act is one that will not soon be forgotten by those who witness this stirring drama of present day methods and every day occurrences. Flossie, the cabaret performer, lends wholesome comedy to "Little Lost Sister." This character is an entirely ne wone in modern drama.
