SHE LAID THE BABY ON THE COUNTER AMD CURTflIM Pretty Polish Girl Tracks Lover Across the Bounding Main and Back Again; Gary Girl Searches for Errant a Full Year and Finally Finds Him Married and in Business; Hence This Tale.

Following a search which extended across the ocean, into Europe and finally back across the briny deep to "this & countree" and covering a period of nearly a year, Joe Filavi bf Gary was arrested yesterday at his place of business In Gary on serious charges preferred by Franciska Molinowski, once his sweetheart. The warrant was served from Judge Prest's court In Hammond by Constable Morris Dobson of Hammond. Girl Telia Her Story. According to the story told In Judge rrest's court Filavi and Franciska Malinowski became intimately acquainted over a year ago. They loved each other well but not wisely. The girl alleges that he was responsible for her condition. And after getting her !n trouble Joe tried to make his escape. He secured passage for Europe - forthwith and not to be outwitted, the girl followed on his trail. The chase led across the ocean. Into Europe and back to America. She stuck like a burr to a dog's tail. And Joe Was Married. The trail took the young girl to Chicago and finally she landed in Gary where the chase came to an abrupt ending. She found Joe. She also found In the meantime Filavi was married and living happily with his wife. He was engaged in the butcher business. Judge Reiter this morning stripped the burdensome matrimonial fetters from Harvey Jenkins a young Hammond man and his eighteen-year-old wife, Irene Rosenbaum Jenkins. The husband who filed the original bill for divorce was not in the court room and the divorce was granted on. the wife's cross complaint and carries with it an alimony of $250 and the young woman's right to her maiden name. The mother of the girl .. wire was with her in the court room and gave a nodding approval to the fatherly advice that Judge Reiter gave the girl incidentally with the decree. From the testimony offered it appears that Jenkins and his wife married against the wish.-s of their parents who thought toth too young. They were married in Ch:c.i?3 in Jur? of last year. - In both the ruirplaln : cruel treatment was alleged as cause or the dlvoro s. "Ii J too bad," ji d Judge A"r, p;aklng to Mrs. Jenkins, "and I oitun think to n.yeelf when i see cases like ; yours that we haven t laws to rc-t.-r; people against thei:- own fooMVi nesB. "i'ou are now beyond ysur yecr, and let us hope that in the t'tture you will be guided by your p'ist experience and the advise of your mother." The mother added a fervent "Thanle you. Air. Judge," as the court thumbed the leaves of his minute book to make the entry. Another' matrimonial failure which apparently began- with the marriage nf bllc works this morning passed a resolution to notify the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric company to remove a pole from the northeast corner of Morton court and State street to the north property line on Morton court. It is an indicaJ tion of renewed Interest at that corn j er where three big business blocks are J to go up next spring. Primary assessments for the cement curb and sidewalks in Kenwood were placed on file. The inspector's bond for the Brown avenue pavement was accepted. Two More Get Patents. " Two more Lake-county men are enrolled among the Inventors whose names are enrolled In the patent of fice at "Washington. The patentees are J Joseph F. Beattie of Hammond, -who , has perfected an apparatus for lead re fining, and "William Longway of Gary, who has contrived a breathing apparatus. SDMCBUBB FOB TUU TIMC.

THE JUDGE GIVES GOOD ADVICE

A REGULAR NEMESIS Franciska Molwowski went Into Joe Filavl's butcher shop in Gary on Wednesday.. Franclski is young and comely. She laid a cute little fat wriggling bundle of babyhood on the counter as Joe was weighing out some meat and said briefly: "Well Joe there's your baby." Joe was dumbfounded. "MY baby?" he said. "Yes YOUR baby,' 'said Franciska. "I've got you at last. I followed you to the old country and back. I'm the female Nick Carter, I am, and as I said before, 'There's your baby.' "

The other day the girl went to his place of business and tenderly placing a bouncing kiddie on the counter charged him with being the father of the child. Filavi furnished bonds for his appearance before Judge Prest. Franciska expects to have a very Interesting tale to tell. According to the - sworn statements regarding campaign expenses as "required by- law, Hammond candidates in the recent municipal election got ' away - comparatively easy. J Eleven of the candidates have al- ' ready filed their reports with City Clerk Duelke, and In this connection It Is a significant fact that with the exception of Sam Abal man and Dave Boone, two independent candidates, all those who have come to the front thus far are democrats. Sam Abalman scheduled a total of $130.00 of yhich $105 was for printing, $15 for livery and $'5 for notary public and $5 for car fare. Dave Boones Itemized expense account reads as follows: Money expended ' $00.00 Promises fulfilled or "' unfulfilled or anything of value, in any wise contributed to" aid or promote my nomination or election to said office $00.00 Total . .$00.00 Dave must have little joke with the law. He was the only candidate ln the campaign who had no oppositi ion. iear In the various reports. It appear that the item of printing was the heaviest. Most of the democratic candidates also show a $10 contribution to the city central committee which had charge of the campaign. Those who have already reported scheduled as follows: Otto Duelke, treasurer-elect $68.00 Oscar Plageman, councilman 2nd ward . . 22.50 Edward Burns,., councilman 3rd ward - 7.25 Joseph Kolanko, councilman 6th , ward 12.00 John . Kane, councilman-at-large. 14.55 Frank Kockler, councilman-at-i largee , 16.25 i Fred Leverenz, councilman-at-large 27.65 W. B. Muir 14.00 Fatrick Reilley 20.00 JIMMY ATE HIS TURKS. Jimmy Trost, bailiff of the Hammond police court, is eating Thanksgiving dinner today. The menu is chiefly turkey, In fact, plural two turkeys. As the telephone directory says "James E. Trost" lives at "327 Indiana avenue." Ifany one wishes to confirm this story they can call No. 1153M. For nearly a week Jimmy has been harboring on his premises a pair of well muscled rambuncious turkey gobblers. "What he wanted to accomplish was the changing of their muscles to meat, white, dark, tender, luscious Thanksgiving turkey meat. Therefore he confined them in Asiatic ease with nothing to do but eat corn. But they flew up and out of their abode, and nestled in the topmost branches of a tree and i Jimmy saw them. He climbed the tree and said: "Here turkey, turkey, turkey, tur ouch" slip, slip, rip-p-p-p s-z-s-z-sim ka-zouie! and Jimmy hit the ground. Pretty soon the turkey gobblers tried another tree. Then Jimmy got' his gun. He's a crack shot and he fired only twice. There is no neck oa one of the birds today and Mrs. Trost didn't serve the liver of the other.

Frank O'Rourke, manager of Mayor John D. Smalley's successful campaign, this morning attributed the failure of the ritual murder charge to cause the execution of Beilis in Russia, to the enterprise of the ScrippsMeRae newspapers, aided by Hearst's Journal, Examiner and American, his monthly magazine. O'Rourke goes further. He gives credit to "Bob" Payne, editor of the Cleveland Press, a Scripps-McRae sheet, and to Mary Boyle O'Reilley, a star writer for the syndicate. "Before Hearst took it up an editorial appeared in the Cleveland Press," said O'Rourke this . morning, "in which the outrage against Beilis wan set forth." Jacob Schroeter of the board of public works, engaged in the conversation. He lived near Russia in Germany fifteen years ago and understands the sentiment that brings on such trials. Runaway Boys. Raymond Sopczak, 15 years old, and John Windhab, 15 years old, two runaway boys from Chicago, were picked up at the Nickel Plate depot last night by the Hammond police, where they, were waiting to board a train. The police notified the boys parents this morning and they will probably be taken back to Chicago some time this afternoon.

Deputy Coroner W. B. Chidlaw toj day returned a verdict in the inquest of the death of Mrs. Bessie Tillman, and added a recommendation for the enforcement of the city ordinance ' regarding the tying of standing horses on the streets. . The recommendation undoubtedly .. will meet with a hearty response of every mother in Hammond who realizes that her children going to and from sciujl are In danger frm runaway horses, as long as careless drivers will permit their animals to stand untied. The official Investigation only , sub stantiated. what was already known, ; that Mrs. Tillman met -her deatb accidentally. " The witnesses, however, disagreed as to whether she was struck by. the vehicle or the horses drawing it. Dr.. Chidlaw added this recommendation to 'his verdict: " -"I would recommend enforcing the city ordinance concerning ; the hitching j or weii?hting of teams as it is my opinion that this accident could have been averted ' "had ' the' provisions of the same been- observed.'' Mrs. W. C- Harrison, who Is the president of the' 'Child Welfare associationt and consequently interested In the protection of life and limb of Hammond's children, yesterday pointed out some glaring cases of negligence on the part of the driver. This conduct she said was, all ?e more shocking because of the recent accident in the business district. Other persons too, have pointed out the danger, insist that the police look to the enforcement of the city ordinance in this respect. CHIEF MARTIN WILL BE OUT FOR SHERIFF Chief of Police J. D.
