ed to the act of 1909. (acta 1909. I page Sit), wherein It ia specified, j or strongly to be Inferred, that ecept in ctti-s of the first class, such fees may be retained by the city attorney. This department has had no occasion to change the conclusion reached at that time." Treasurer Get Hl Mtte. The accounting: department has also (riven an opinion which says that the treasurer is entitled to 6 per cent on the collection of delinquent taxes, includingBarrett Jaw assessments,- in cities of all classes except the fourth and fifth classes, and that In cities cf the fourth and fifth classe they aru entitled to five per cent. Another opinion says that It Is legal for a township trustee to erect a shed on school property to house the horses of pupils attending high school, provided he advertises for bids for the construction Another opinion says that a town health officer cannot recctvs any pay for his services except thst provided for in the health law of 1909. Has No Su.-fc Right. Writing from Kandallvllle, James I. Smith, one of the field examiners in

the service cf the state accounting board ,asks the question whether a mayor of a city has any right under the law to have any intereet in any contract with the city which he serve The board has answered him that ho city official has, under this law, any such right, to have any Interest directly or indirectly in any such contract. It says the public policy and statutory law are both Involved in the Question and that both forbid anything of the kind, and that the section of the statutes is broad enough to make invalid any such arrangement. The fact is that this has been the law for years, yet now and then a city official Is found who braves the law by being Interested In some round about way in a contract with the city. The department has written Joseph R. Haines, auditor of Posep county, that it is not legal for apropriatlons for bridge work to be made in a lump sum, but that each appropriation must be specific for the special work to be THE TRIUMPH OF THE BAKER'S ART in bread baking Is achieved in the white, light and delicious loaves baked here every day.

done. Any other course, the department says, would be illegal.

Another opinion that is of Interest is one relating to the use of the township for road work in emergencies. Tho epartment says that where the road fund of a township is exhausted and there is work on roads that must be done it is legal to use money from the township fund for that purpose, when proper appropriation has been made by the township advisory board. The board of directors of the Gary M. C. A. has engaged II. H.

Who wants to serve on a jury to de cide the merits of a case growing out of a clothesline fracas?

whose names are given, and there was a thirteenth look that was blacker than all. It belonged to Harry Thompson, acting deputy constable. Alan Twyman was responsible for the whole meg sof trouble. Mr. Twyman is a nice young man and an attorney who is- rapidly making a place for himself Jn the Lake County bar. But he has a mean and suspicious dis position which will at time crop out. It cropped on Wednesday. Mr. Twyman was representing the defendant In tho case of George Nastrowski. constable n Judge Lewis court, vs. Joe Rostowsky. Rostowsky had been arrested on! the charge of refusing to assist an arm of the law while in the prosecution of duty. Nastrowski was that arm of the law. The case had been brought before Judge Lewis and Attorney Twyman had demanded a change of venue to Judge Cheney's court. A jury trial was demanded. Now Attorney Twvman being of the said suspicious turn of mind, probably fancied that a brother constable could not be trusted to select a fair Jury to try this par ticular case. Any how he refused to accept a jury drawn by a regular deputy, declaring that no deputy In Lake county would be acceptable to him in this instance. He asked the court to swear in a special deputy. Judge Cheney scratched his dome of thought. "There's Harry Thompscon," he suggested. "How about him?" "He'll do," acquiesced Mr. Twyman. So Mr. Twyman was duly summoned. Now Mr. Thompson being surroundattend the bedside of her husband, who has been seriously injured In the Ohio town. Mr. Livingston, who is a switchman by occupation, suffered the loss of one of his feet on Wednesday, the member having been cut off by a train. Details of the accident are lacking. but it is understood that Mr. Livings ton was climbing onto one of the cars when he lost his footing and fell, the wheels of several cars passing over him before it was realised that he had been h The injured man is employed by the B. & O. Southwestern and he works out of Chicago Junction. His wife makes her home with her father, Tom Jones, at 144th street and Baring avenue. Mrs. Livingston was considerably un nerved by the shock of her husband's injury, hut bore up as bravely as could be expected. RACE MEN WILL ENTER NEW SUIT rContlnoet from Page i. ting there was going on could have been stopped by a couple of one legged country constables if necessary. The prosecuting attorney of Porter county was here every day and the sheriff of the county would have made arrests had the governor asked him to act. "I have no hard feelings against Gov. Ralston. He's a pretty square fellow usually. He is not like Marshall. We are going to collect money from Mar shall, but the suit against Ralston will Just be to determine our status. "If the courts decide with us we will race again next spring, but until we can assure horsemen of a meet without troops, we will make no plans. If the courts decide against us, then it's all off for good." ' Troops Establish Camp. The soldiers fixed up their camp during the day as though for a stay of several days, but MaJ. Freyermuth said he expected to break camp on Friday or Saturday. It is apparent there will be no attempt immediately to revive the racing game. Several of the stables were shipped away, and all day there was a continual stream of Jockeys, trainers and track roustabouts trekking toward Chicago. Most of them took the train, but a number .YR y

He demurred, with a distinct roll on the "r." "You got to," said Judge Chenev. the sternest, of Judicial authority sitting enthroned on his brow, Now misery loves company and Harry Thompson thought how nice it would be to have company from his own class. So he sought out all te business men and nrominent rlt ahnvo named and served nmmnr, he said It. Therefore the array of prominent cite In Judge Cheney's court a-Wednesday. The lot got even, you bet! They disagreed. It'll all have to be done over again. The case which inspired this unusual Jury had Its interesting features. It demonstrated Kipling's motto that the female of the species' Is more deadly than the male. The complaining constable, was, on the day when he had the dispute with Mr. Rotowskl, attempting to arrest a lady who was wanted ror provoke. Mr. Nastrowski was exercising his constabulary authority on the said lady at 151st and Alexander avenue. She had told him In gentle tones to "cut the comedy, kid," and he had firmly Insisted that she go along with him. She resisted and there was some rough stuff in progress when Mr. Rostowsky's assistance was asked. "Nix," said Mr. Rosfowskl, "It's a principle of mine never to lay hands on a woman. Besides, I think you are too rough with her yourself." At least is was something like that. The constable failed in his efforts to iana nis prisoner, wno proved some pugilist, and swore out a warrant for her arrest, charging assault with In tent to kill. A posse went down and arrested the lady, who was, however, discharged. Another warrant was sworn out by the constable against Rostowskl, who was charged with refusing to assist an officer. And the jury disagreed. They stood seven for acquittal and five for conviction. started to "count the ties." It was reported a purely formal effort to start a race would be made in order to give grounds for future legal action. This was denied by Knotts and no horses lined up at the post. "What's the use?" Knotts said. "The soldiers Bald 'stop' and we have done so. That's al there is to It." MERCHANTS ULD BAR EDDLERS Headed by Secretary Walter McNally a delegation of Gary merchants, members of the Rtail association, today called on Mayor Knotts and presented him with an ordinance they want passed. The merchants, following the crusade of Capt. H. S. Norton, president of the Commercial club, are seeking to oust the foreign street stand peddlers. Attorneys Patton and Greenlee drew dp the measure which Knotts will inspect. It is probable that the council at its special meeting on Saturday night will Issue a call for a special meeting to be held next week. Knotts Is of the opinion that it may be hard to legislate the stationary wagon peddlers out of business by refusing them licenses. Several labor unions stirred by the report that the merchants would try to prevent farmers and truck wagon peddlers from coming Into Gary talked of organizing club to go out into the country to purchase green stuff. However, Attorney Patton of the merchants say that they do not aim to stop wagon peddlers or farmers from selling their wares.
