GARY MAN ACQUITTED. Mike Davich of Gary, who was on i trial before "Judge Relter in the super-1 lor court yesterday on the charge of . assault and battery with intent to kill, was acquitted of the charge by the court. Davich had waived a jury trial. The statii case against Tony Bajan of Gary, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, is to come up for trial tomorrow. This probably will be the last criminal case to be tried in Judge Reiter's court in this term of court. Criminal work then will be taken up in Judge McMahan's court at Crown Point next week. APPELLATE COURT DECISION Indianapolis, June 10. The appellate court, In an opinion just rendered, says: "The courts of this state have repeatedly held that the negligence of the attorney is the negligence of the client, and that a default suffered through the neglect of an attorney will not be set aside, unless facts are stated which show such neglect to be excusable." The holding is made in affirming the Lake superior court in refusing Paul Vaplnsk aind his wife relief from a Judgment by default for $2,340.90, and the foreclosure of a mortgage In favor of Ernest Tosettl and others na owners of the Tosetti Brewing company, of Chicago. 3 Low Rates On SHORT TIME LOANS THINK OF IT $25 Costs you $4.10 for 3 Months That's All Other amounts in the same proportion.

In his affidavit to support his motion to set aside the default, Vaplnskl showed he was fifty-five years old nur rouia iney epeax. or unncrsiana I much English: that when he was sued he employed an attorney and paid him a fee and had full intentions to con'teat the suit; that the only considera tion he ever received for the Instrument sued on was $100, though he was promised the loan of $2,000, $1,900 of which he never received. The appellate court says that no excuse is Fhown for the neglect of the attorney and the affidavit ' is not sufficient. Other affidavits were afterward filed tending to show that Vaplnski was Insane and attempted suicide by shoot ing:, which the court holds can not be considered under the petition. Toaetti caused affidavits to be filed which tended to show most of Vapinskl's affidavit was founded on imagination, but they are not considered in the ' " w ' "J ' ' ' " I v ....... X X. . . .

I To all members of the Hammond t Building Trades Council and their families: You are cordially invited to Attend the first annual picnic of Martha lodge.

PROHL TRAGEDY EXCITES PUBLIC Contmue4 from Pars oot hey are he could not say. The splintering of the gates is a simple mechanical proposition which any high school boy could solve. The impact evidently came from below for the timbers are shattered horizonally and not broken off. No one has yet established that Prohl was going over five or six miles an hour. No one can be found to bear responsibility for the story that Prohl stood up and attempted to leap. The theory that he was stunned by the gates and the throttle thrown open by accident is accepted by the majority. Caught In The Trap. Henry C. Friederichs of the Square Deal garage tells of his experience on the Michigan Central crossing at Columbia avenue On April 7, in which the body of a $3,000 Studebaker machine was compleely demolished. Friederichs says that he was allowed on the tracks and the north gate let down In his path. He tried to force

PRAISES THE TIMES.

Maurice Hankinson, manager of the Hammond and Orpheum Theatres, said to a TIMES representative yesterday: "In a way the Orpheum pwes everything to THE TIMES and its East Chicago, Whiting, Indiana Harbor and Gary editions.' We draw a third of our patronage from these towns. I think it remarkable that we can bring people from Gary where another Orpheum is located. It is done by THE TIMES. "At time I have decided to run a picture show at the Hammond theatre without notice morning and my only advertising would be in one edition of THE TIMES. The crowds would, come at night and I had conclusive proof that Hammond people read THE TIMES all the way through. I consider it a remarkable paper and enjoy reading it myself." through the gates but failed. A flyer from the east, due in Hammond at 11 a. m., was a few hundred feet awav. Friederichs thought his time had come. but he Jumped and lit in the road a scant foot or so across the dead line. The machine was carried and dumped fifty feet away. Many Tributes Given. Tributes to John Prohl. .the victim of Hammond's latest railroad tragedy, are being made at all times and places by men of every trade and business. The city cannot reconcile itself to the loss of one it so greatly depended upon. It is made plain to those who did not have the pleasure of knowing Mr. Prohl b those who did that he was a man among men. whose word passed as gold and whose reputation was above reproach. One man remarked last even ing In a public place that Prohl was the last man he thought of when he went to sleep and the first when he woke up. Leaves Good Sized Estate. The estate of John Prohl is esti mated at $65,000. Contracts amounting ing Into thousands of dollars have been left unfinished. One firm in Hammond has depended on Prohl for team work for years and averaged a $1,500 teaming bill each week. The bulk of teaming in Hammond was conducted by him in such a sys tematic way that the cost was lowered and prices made correspondingly. In the Michigan avenue barn Prohl had fifteen teams, the finest In town. The entire burden of his business will fall on the shoulders of Henry Dahlkamp, teamster, for the present at least. The estate goes to the wife and children. DUELKE MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT City Clerk Is First in Field for Nomination in City. The announcement is made today by Otto H. Duelke, city clerk of Hammond, that he will be a candidate for the office of Ireiisurtr on the democratic ticket huniict to th? coming democratic primal Mr. Duelke is tne fi:?t candidate in the field in Hammond for the p-.r-sent municipal campaign ur.d is nut le'ting tny grass grow unde." his feet to get the now. nation. POLICE AFTER CIGARETTE SMOKERS Minors Are To Be Prose cuted With Vigor. Starting today Chief of Police Peter Austgen will commence a city wide campaign, enforcing the anti-cigarette law, which prohibits minors using cigarettes, cigarette papers and tobac co. It also holds the dealer liable, the purchaser and user. Orders were issued from the office of Chief Austgen this morning and for the first viola tlon, the arres,t will be made and the dfendent severely reprimanded. In order to work hand in hand with other city officials Chief Austgen has asked the various factory heads and Superintendent C. M. McDaniels to co operate with him. They havi" readily given their constnt and all minors us ing cigarettes and such forms of tobacco, that become known to their employers, their names will be sent to the police. Accept Petitions. The board or public works this morning accepted petitions for a sewer and sidewalk on Logan street from Hickory street to Columbia avenue The engineer was ordered to prepare plans and specifications. The inspector's report on the Jffer son street sewer wis accepted and the engineer ordered to prepare the pri mary assessment roll. H. W. Roberts was appointed in spector for the Walton street side walk. Weekly bills were allowed. Meeting Postponed. On account of other matters of im portance coming up the public library board will not held its regular meeting Thursday night, but have postponed it a week from then. At the stated meeting of the board a week from tomorrow night bids will be accepted for the redecoration of the library. Isenhart; Not Eisenhutt. Owing .to a confusion of names in the account of the Prohl tragedy in this paper last night, it was stated that a youth by the name of Eisenhutt was watchman at the time. The man's name, according to Eisenhutt, is Isenhart. Frank Eisenhutt Sr., is day watchman at the crossing, but his night man is Isenha'rt. and young Frank Eisenhutt Jr. declares he was nowhere In the vicinity at the time of the accident. The confusion of names is readily understood. Eisenhutt Jr. explains the presence of Iscn-

hart at the crossing at 5 o'clock, because he had relieved his father an hour earlier that night.

Inquest Held Tomorrow. A superabundance of testimony will no doubt be heard by Coroner Smith at the inquest into the death of John Prohl at the Lake Superior court building tomororw at half after 4. The trainmen who had to do with the accident will be there to testify as to the rate of speed of the Monon passenger, and the flagman as to the operation of the gates. Speaks at Griffith. Rev. C. J. Sharp of the Calumet Avenue Christian church gave the commencement address at the Griffith township school last evening to five girl and five boy graduates and an audience that filled the auditorium. He spoke at the Highland commencement a week ago when five girls and one boy were graduated from the common school of that village. Police On Look Out. Hammond's motorcycle police squad has been anything but busy this year, not one arrest being made for the violation of the speed ordinance. This Is due to the fact that it Is thought the police learned the speeders a lesson last year and now when they pass through Hammond the power of their machines sre shut down to a moderate degree. Of the hundreds of automo biles and motorcycles that passed through the city yesterday not one complaint was made. "Blind George" Hurt. George Jones, veteran newspaper vendor, better known to Hammond folks as "Popcorn" George, has an injured leg received as a result of an accident last Saturday, when he fell through an opening In the sidewalk on West State street, landing in a cellar several feet below. Despite his In jury, which he claims Is very pain ful, George immediately resumed his duties. Three in 24 Hours. Three runs were made by the Ham mond fire department during the past 24 hours, but little damage was done at any of the three fires. The first call was received yesterday afternoon about 2:30 from box 46 at Sohl street and I'lummer avenue. The blaze was extinguished by the aid of the chem ical wagon. At 4 o'clock another call was received from the same vicinity, where a bonfire caused a little excitement. This morning a false alarm was sent in from Fayette and Claude street. Gluth Trial. The case of the state of Indiana vs. William Gluth came up for trial in Judge Prest's court yesterday evening. The defendant being found guilty, a fine of $13.10 on a charge of assault and battery was imposed. Louis Bueltner appeared as complaining witness and according to the complaint charged Gluth with knocking him from his bicycle and the nstrlking him with his fist. Police in Shoot. Members of the Hammond police de partment are competing in their regular monthly shoot this afternoon, and in order to capture the monthly medal each officer Is making an effort to hang up a good score. Chief Austgen now wears the medal which he captured at the last shoot. Considerable rivalry exists among the members of the department and It is an honor tnr them to cop off first place. Captains Hanlon and RImbach, who deem them selves the crack shots of the central department, had a dream last night that they were capable to carry away the honors. Ill With Fever. Manager H. C. Green of the H., W. & E. C. street car line Is reported very 111 at his home at 344 Towle street this morning and continues to show but little Improvement. Mr. Green wss taken 111 two weeks ago, run down In general health Al thought to have been caused by hij constant har work. The first part of the weel: h was on the verge of typhoid f;ver, but this morning physicians think they have checked the fever. Mr. Groen is still confined to his bed and his many friends are anxiously -waiting for gr.od news from his bedside. Younger Recovering. After suffering nearly thre. weeKS with painful carbuncles, John Your.ger, 307 Sibley street, Hammond, is reported gradually improving thts morning, which Is encouragli.g nJwa to his many friends. Unless other complica tions set in, Mr. Younger's early recovery is expected, although he Is still confined to his bed. His illness has been an unusual one and at times his ctndition was regarded ns critical. EX-GOVERNOR'S SON AUTO VICTIM Donald Connor Killed and Girl Injured. Fremont, Wis., June 11. Donald Connor, .24 years old, oldest son of Former Lieutenant-Governor William D. Connor of Marshfield, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and Rip pon college, was killed, and Miss Nora Raun, 20 years old, of Oshkosh, Wis., perhaps fatally injured In an automo bile accident near here late yesterday afternoon. The automobile In which the young couple were riding shot into the air at a sharp turn, turned over twice and landed on Its side. Connor was thrown out of the machine to a height of sixty feet and was caught under the heavy car as It struck the ground. The young woman remained in the machine during Its gyrations. Connor was dying when two mn who witnessed the accident reached his side. As they tried to lift him from his position under the machine he opened his eyes and said: "I am praying to God to help me." Then he died. The L Vendor ciarar la a boms product. None better. Adv.

PROPERTY HOLDERS HAVE IK MEETING Farmers Object Decidedly to Proposed Annexation to Hammond. Property owners in the rural district in North township, which Hammond proposes to annex held a mass meet ing In the Hessvlile Pchool house last night on the question and thrashed the question out with Hammond city of ficials. Among the latter who were present were City Attorney John A. Gavit, John IA Rohde, president of the board of public works, and Judge Law rence Becker. Trustee John Becker wasa'.so present. The Hammond .men. with the exception of the trustee, ar gued !n favor of the annexation, but there were few of the farmers who would admit that they would be bene fitted by the annexation. William Popp and Phil Mclaughlin were, however outspoken in avor of the annexation, City Attorney John Gavit found plen ty of argument when Mat Humpfer arose to oppose the movement. Ii refreshed Mr. Humpfer's memory, going back several years when Mr. Humpfer considered $150 an acre a good price for his land. This land, said Mr. Gav it, could not be bought now for much less than $1,000 and that no man would argue that this advance was brought about by any intrinsic land value. On the contrary, he pointed out, the raise Is due to the proximity to ammond. When Humpfer raised some objection to autos cutting up the highways, Mr. Gavit jocularly reminded him that among Mr. Humpfer's relatives there were probably more members driving autos than In the average family. FOREIGNERS ASK FOR PAPERS Foreigners, presumably supporters of Mayor T. E. Knotts, are flocking into the office of U. S. Deputy Clerk Charles Surprise la the Federal build ing In Hammond by the score for their first papers, to insure themselves u vote in the fall election in Gary. On Monday morning Clerk Surprise issued papers to 83, yesterday to 60 j and by noon today 50 had made appli cation. The probabilities are that the naturalisation will continue as long as the various Gary politicians are able to find any foreigners who are willing to be naturalized for the occasion. DONEGAN OUT FOR MAYORALTY Whiting Business Man Announces Candidacy. (Special to The Times.) Whiting, Ind., June 11. J. J. Donepan, one of Whiting's foremost citizens and business men, is the first Whiting man to announce his candidacy for the democratic mayoralty nomination.
