MAY PRY COUPLES
Dancing Masters Advocate Public Censor, and City Council's Will Be Asked to Pass Ordinance for "6-
Inch Dances."
BILL TACKLES MOTORCYCLE For the past week William Kraft, an employe of the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric company in the West Hammond office, has been sporting a new Indian motorcycle. During that short length of time he has had nu
merous narrow escapes from Injury. Iast Thursday he collided with a telegraph post and received several deep gashes. This Occident also cost him $25 for machine repairs. Yesterday William took a companion for a spin and while turning the, 'corner of State and Hohman street he narrowly escaped colliding with a team of horses. Ills companion lost his hold and toppled to the street. Police have cautioned Bill to be more careful, and he may yet become an expert motorcyclist.
erable trouble with the couple In the past and will make an effort to have something done with them. Moore has been arrested several times in the past and the -condition of his wife has been reported a number of times.
ago it was rumored that a steam roller had fallen through the bridge, and this proved to be untrue. It is probable that some misguided wag springs these as a sort of annual Joke.
Sues for Divorce. Mrs. Emma H. Crist, wife of Jacob Crist, an Erie section foreman, has brought suit for divorce, alleging statutory grounds. They were married in Chicago seven, years ago. Divorce proceedings have also been filed by Kennedy & Lotz of East Chicago for Barbara Klobujora against her husband, Andle Klobujora.
May Come Up Tomorrow. The case of William Parry versus the city of Hammond came up in the circuit court at Crown Point yesterday before Judge McMahan. The board of public works and Otto Duelke, city clerk, were at Crown Point, as well as the plaintiff, but the court decided to re-et the case. In all probability It will come up tomorrow.
Lake County Cases. Among the cases distributed by the clrk of the appellate court among the several Judges thereof to be ruled on before the vacation season are the following: 8081. State of Indiana ex rel. Greenwald vs. Schlieker. Lake S. C. Filed July 2S, 1911. 7931. Saltwedel et al. vs. Gartner et al. Lake S. C. Filed Aug. 2, 1911. Both are Lake county cases, the first one going back two years ago when an effort was made to oust Mayor Schlieker of East Chicago from office. An entry was made in the minute book on the following case: 1 7975. Granclk vs. Rajcany, admin
istrator. Lake S. C. Appellee's briefs
on appellant's petition for rehearing.
The board of county commissioners
was reversed by the supreme court in
the contested claim case arising out
of W. J. Reed's contract on the re
modeled superior court house. The
case was tried before Judge V. S. Rel
ter. Judge C. J. Spencer wrote the opinion for the supreme court, and
made the following points:
(1) A board of county commissioner
; may be mandated to take action on a claim by either allowing or denying
It. (2) Where the brief fails to set
out the demurrer, the ruling on It can not be considered. 3) The complaint
being sufficient to bar another action.
is good after judgment. (4) The complaint was good against motion to make more specific. (5) Where a general denial was on file, together with special answers, raising an issue of fact before the court, the court erred In giving judgment on the pleadings. Judgment on the pleading can only be rendered where the Issue Is one of law.
If the plans of dancing masters prevail a public dance censor may be employed in the cities of the Calumet region to make young couples break
away. i Public censors of dancing who shall be armed with rules and tape measures and force all dancers to remain at least six inches apart when they step the light fantastic are advocated by the United Professional Teachers of Dancing of which Prof. Da Tron of Hammond is a member. While the thermometer turkey-trotted between 95 and 100 degrees and even "Septembr Morn" sought a palm leaf fan the dancing teachers yesterday opened their eighth annual convention at Victoria Hall, Western avenue and West Madison street, and laid down the six-inch rule as the first for purifying terpsichorean art. Thirty-two Teachers Attend. There were thirty-ljwo dancing teachers present, and they decided to ask every city council in the country to pass the one-half-foot dance distance ordinance and censor dancing the
same as plays, moving picture fllras and postal cards. This rule, of course, will not be necessary in the public dance halls, say
the teachers. Proprietors of the halls
most of them are teachers admit
their institutions need no "clean-up."
The private club and the private "hop"
are the places that need censoring, say; the Instructors. Claim Are Blamed. "All this animal dance stuff is taught in the private club," said W. F. Iiraun of Pittsburgh, Pa., who is a member of the association advisory board. "And until that is censored the eyebrow gavotte and the horse trot and the other bad dances will give us trouble." J. Louis Guyon, president of the organization, elaborated upon this same idea In a little chat to the delegates. He asserted that "the people who are supposed to be 'in society" dance the
objectionable dances; the dan.?e of the masses is perfectly all right."
The convention delegates had expect
ed to give some exhibition steps a few
new dances yesterday, but the day was too hot. They may adjourn to some bathing beach and don swimming
suits for this part of their convention programme. They will go for a lake
excursion today. The convention will
last throughout the week.
STATE STREET IS RESTLESS A spirit of restlessness prevails on East State street today. Everv one
is on the move, one man jumped Into the king row and another jumped town, at least, he did to the best of obtainable information. His place of business is closed and his whereabouts unknown. Henry Slickman, said to be the owner of a poolroom at 179 State street, is reported missing. The reason given is that he feared prosecution, having been brought up before Judge Ames last week on a serious offense. His accuser Is a West Hammond girl. Slickman Is a married man and his wife is said to be somewhere in Hammond today. The Independent Tacking On., a retail and wholesale meat market, will
occupy the White Seal buffet block. 181 State street. The lease of J. C. Collins, proprietor of the saloon, expires today. Collins will move to IS State street, to the storeroom now used by Hageman Bros.. furniture dealers. Hageman Bros, are moving to the Hasse building at Sohl and State and their address will be 271-273. The Leader millinery store at 273 is going out to let them In.
Judge Prest's Court. State of Indiana vs. Mrs. Bateman. Warrant issued for her arrest on a charge of provocation. Victoria Carter the complaining witness, charges the
defendant with drawing a gun and spitting on her. State of Indiana vs. Louis Euettner. Arrested on a charge, of drawing a concealed and dangerous weapon towit a revolver. Wm.

WILL RAZEBUILDINGS Fred Braginton of Indianapolis came to Hammond today to make final arrangements for the razing of his three small properties on East State street west of the Long building. This will be done late this fall and the erection of a modern block on the three twentyfive foot lots is promised as soon after that as possible. Mr. Bralghton said that he will build in the spring at the latest. The building will be two and possibly three stories and is to cost over $30,000.
An Annual Joke? A report to the effect that fire was destroying the Calumet avenue bridge went the rounds yesterday afternoon. By most people this was taken as an act of Providence, and they were dis
appointed when It was later learned that the old rickety structure still survived. It Is a strange fact that a false alarm concerning the Calumet avenue bridge "and same calamity is sent out from some mysterious source at least once a year. One hot day three years
She Has Lost Her Dog. To Thb Times: Will you please help me find my dog. He is a little white silk poodle and I call him Baby. I had him for my pet for two years. I am heartsick for him. I looked for him every place, but I can't find him. He has two yellow ears and two black eyes. Please bring him back to me for I am so lonesome for him.
