Valparaiso, July 22. Tony Janus, famous as a blrdman, who appeared at Wahub lake yesterday for a flight, failed to mak good at that place. While hundreds of people were assembling there, his hydro-aeroplane was loaded on a wagon and hauled across the country to Burlington Beach, where most of his advertised flight was spent In skimming ihe water. Only once did Janus rise above the tree-topa. This waa when he encircled Flint lake once withoue touching the water. Air currents were too trong against him at Wahub. is the report, so he decided to start from Flint and fly back to Wahub. But while the crowd waited at the little lake farther north no airship appeared. Great dissatisfaction prevailed with

How he has arrived at these effects he Is not able to tell without technicalities which only lectrioal workers could understand. He has figured each piece of business out in detail and says that the act Is perfect. "There are certain props that I still need which cost me quite a little," he said, "but I expect that any of fhe agents I am negotiating with will furnish me money. The act will represent a great deal of money and a lot f hard work." Holdman may allow his lrtle daughter to work In the act. She is a juvenile artist and has quite a reputation in her neighborhood for chalk work. She can make a picture, using her

finger tips as brushes in remarkable time.

Sues For Divorce. Mrs. Gertrude D. Hinesley of Indiana Harbor today filed divorce proceedings through her attorneys, Hembroff & Glazebrook, charging that her husband had neglected her and that he had asociated with other women. She asks the custody of their four year old son Claude. They were married thirteen years ago.

Judge In Chambers. Judge Johanes, Kopelke, sitting in Chambers this morning appointed the Lake County Savings and Trust company receiver for the Peter Harynowaki property in East Hammond. Anton Fabian being the petitioner. The indebtedness on the property amounts to about $900.

HAMMOND ELECTRICIAN HAS NEW ACT An elaborate electrical novelty act has been invented and constructed by W. T. Holdman, ian electrician at the Stanadrd Steel Car works, in which the human body is to be used for

spectacular effect, a conductor of the

"juice." In the act which is supposed to soon appear in vaudeville Holdman will take a principle part, juggling balls of fire and otherwise placing his life in jeopardy. In demonstration before booking agents in Chicago Holdman says that the act made a decided hit and that he was urged to bring it out at once. He has as his partner, C. E. LaVine, of the old LaVine family, vaudeville favorites of a decade ;o. Holdman himself was a minstrel man for a number of years until he began working on the act he now has finished. Just how much time he has spent in preparing the novelty he does not say. But if he can produce the effects he claims he can it will be a sure go and no doubt a sensation. In the act LaVine is a. wizard of electricity' and

Holdman a negro who gets into the

HON. JOSEPH W. FOLK.

TTTT

ON. JOSEPH W. FOLK Is too well known to really need any

mention here, and his coming to this city will be a notable event In the history of this community. The recital of all the reforms he inaugurated while he held officii in Missouri would of them

selves more than fill this page. Governor Folk is regarded as the pioneer In the great modern fight against graft which is now going on everywhere both in the state and the nation. As governor he put an end to Doodling In legislative affairs. He abolished the practice of legislators and officials tiding on free passes. He procured the passage of an act after a hard legislative fight 'repealing race track laws whereby gambling was legalized and put the most powerful and insolent race track syndicate in the world out of business. He stamped out grafters in the police departments, he appointed men of the highest character to all positions of public trust, closed the gambling dives in St. Touis and enforced the law closing saloons on Sunday in the face of intense opposition and denunciation. Governor Folk Is still carrying the banner for purity in politics. Freedom from ofllceholding , has but given him more time to fight the good fight Whereas St Louis was his battlefield, then Missouri, it la now a national Issue, and Folk of Missouri is spreading a new civic gospel which reaches back to Calvary and the Golden Rule and is spreading from the Empire State to California, is bearing good fruit on the bloody ground of Kentucky and raising new standards in Louisiana. .

PUGILIST'S FATHER

BETS WITH INJURY

James Stewart Sire of Art

the Hammond Pugilist Hit By Train.

James Stewart, father of Art Stew

art, the Hommond pugilist, employed as

switchman on the South Shore line, was severely injured this morning when a South Shore train struck him and

hurled him several feet.

The . accident happened about 7

o'clock, shortly after Mr. Stewart com

menced his day duties. The aged man

presumably was unaware of tho ap

proaching train, as it is said he stepped

directly Into Its path. Fortunately the

traa wasn't moving very rapidly. He

was removed to his home at 514 Hoffman street. He Is badly cut on the

arms and forehead. He also complains

of pains in his right leg.

Will LEASE INSTITUTE

ipbssmiaesv ussqjes sdefiirjebd , The people of Hammond are about to elect a mayor for the term of four years. Hammond has become ene of the largest municipal corporations in the state of Indiana. Because of its rapid growth the administration of Its affairs by competent officials is a matter of tremendous importance. Mistakes art costly. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of city Improvements are to be made. Broad matters of policy will have to be determined. The disbursement of municipal funds 1s a constant temptation to the grafter. Law enforcement is hurgely a matter of administrative policy. The protection of property la often an issue. The theory is comlnK to be generally accepted that each citizen is a stockholder in the municipal corporation and should select the municipal officers and directors with the same care that characterizes a private corporation. . The administration of Mayor John D. Smalley is the best that Hammond has ever had. More subsitantial works of improvement have been started, more matters of broad general policy have been determined In the few months of the Smalley administration than can be credited to the entire Becker regime. This is not an idle statement, but will be demonstrated In the succeeding articles. Mayor Smalley is entitled to the support of every citizen who believes in the maintenance of a high order of efficiency in the administration of public affairs; the same spirit of progress that has characterized the Smalley regime, the assertion of manhood which made Smalley rebel at the dictations of the boss-Judge who still attempts to rule the democratic party as he did in the days of his mayor-czarshlp. In the succeeding articles the whole truth Is going to he laid bare to the public so that it may judge for Itself whether or not Mayor John D. Bmallcy is to be made the victim of the boldest political conspiracy that waa ever concocted in Hammond.

THE BENCH UN POLSHIGS"

There are three candidates for the democratic nomination for mayor, but there are but two dominating, and therefore conflicting personalities to be reckoned with. These are John I). Smalley, the present mayor, and Judge Lawrence Becker, ex-mayor and Judge of the superior court in Hammond. When Becker was mayor he admired the gentlemanly qualities, the h igh grade efficiency i and the administrative, ability of John D. Smalley and made him city comptroller. Smalley proved himself worthy of his charge and as an expert accountant put the city on a business basis. Like a privately owned corporation the city began to issue a statement of its financial standing. Budgets were made up in the various municipal departments and tax levys were made accordingly. The guesswork system that had prevailed previously to the Smalley regime was abandoned. Becker's sudden appointment to the Superior court bench made the succession of Smalley a matter tf course. The public generally was pleased with the turn of affairs which made the popular comptroller mayor. The facts are that it was sorely tired of the Becker regime. No sooner did Becker become judge and Smalley mayor than the judge attempted to dictate to the latter the policy of his administration. Becker's view of the situation was, I made you, yon do my bidding or I will unmake fO." The judicial cap and cape did not prevent Becker from casting aside all dignity in his effort to preserve Intact his political machine and it did not cause him to lose his lust for power. Smalley had the choice of accepting the nomination as Becker's vassal or fighting for It as Ms Own master. He chose the manly course. Hence the embittered attacks that are made upon him by his former friend. This explains the Becker( fight on Smalley. It explains the candidacy of Dr. W. T. Howat. It explains a number of other matters which will be taken up in subsequent articles. All Smalley asks of the people of Hammond is that he be given a hearing. Then he will rest hia case and abide by the verdict at the polls. Adv.

Temporary relief for the crowded

condltionsv in the Central school build

ing was promised last night, when the board of education at its regular meet

ing leased the Calumet Institute building now owned by the Knights of Pythias lodge. The lodge is to receive $2,500 a year for the use of the building, and the board will in all

probability have to expend another $800 in equipping the building. Grades below the eighth are to occupy the building. Architect J.T. Hutton rwho was instructed by the board two weeks ago to go over the original plans for the industrial training high school so aa to bring them within the $200,000 possiblltty has not yet reported back to the board. Eventually, the fboard hopes hat the original plans can be carried out, but until there is sufficient money the proposed building can beonly partially completed, and it is with the idea of prolcing something complete in itself that the architect

was instructed to revise the plana.

Good Picture At Bijou. A realistic drama, Aahes of Three, showing at the Bijou, drew forth applause last evening, the highest compliment that can be paid to a motion picture. For a minute or so at the finish a capacity house clapped in appreciation of the .play, a wierd and gripping picture. During the run. 85 minutes smilar outbursts took place.
