JURY FINDS IN BERTHOLD'S FAVOR Kopelke 's Main Ruling Sustains Defendant Kasper. The Berthold-Kasper suit, which crew out of a partnership between Max Berthold and Joseph Kasper fop the bath house concession at the Hammond Lake Front park, came to an end in the superior court yesterday afternoon with a Jury verdict in favor of Berthold. Kasper through his attorney. J. K. Stinson, immediately made arrangements to ask for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was not in accordance with the evidence. The Jury after three hours' deliberation allowed Berthold the full amount which ho had asked for $383, with Interest for three years. The case was tried before Judge Kopelke. One of the important rulings in the case made by Judge Kopelke was in substance to the effect that Kasper, although In the employ of the city as assistant engineer at the pumping station, was not disqualified from entering; into a partnership in a matter Involving a contract of thia kind with the city. The question was raised by Attorney Joseph Conroy. the plaintiffs attorney, who cited the law which prohibits a public official or city employe from entering into any kind of a contract which involves indebtedness or liability for the city. Attorney J. K. Btinson, Kasper's attorney, argued that the bath house concession was a privilege that the city had granted to Berthold and that no liability or Indebtedness for the city could grow out of the contract between the city and Berthold, and that therefore Kasper's partnership with him was not in violation of thl3 law. Judge Kopelkc'a ruling upheld Stinson's argument.

DEMOCRAT

S SEND OUT CALL FOR PRIMARIES

FEDERAL REFEREE IS BUSY

That a good-sized scrap Impends between Hammond and Gary democrats over the question of appointment for the appointment of delegates to the district convention is believed In political circles. It is understood that Gary democrats have given an ultimatum to Hammond, accusing the latter of wanting to dictate everything. Hammond on the other hand declares that Gary has always been well taken care of and that three places on the county ticket were given Gary two years ago, asserting likewtse that none of the candidates ever contributed to the county fund. Pursuant to instructions by the Democratic state committee which met in Indianapolis last week Chairman Chas. Murphey has sent out an official call for holding primaries and conventions In the various districts, and for the reorganization of the Democratic state committee in Indianapolis January 8. , This date will be made the occalson for a state-wide Democratic love feast and a meeting of Democratic editors. December 26 and 27 are the dates set for the election of delegates

In all districts except the Seventh, and the district conventions except the Seventh are to be held December 29.

Ths state committee fixed the appor

tionment of delegates as one for 'ach

150 votes or fraction of more Than sev-enty-flve votes cast for Governor Ralston last year.

Apportionment of Delegates. On this basis, it is announced that the

apportionment of delegates in the various districts will be as follows:

performing bear on the stage. Her Intelligence is, remarkable and her manner entirely ladylike. She is very refined bear, but too Impulsive. She should learn to be less free with her hugs'. They give people the creeps. Alice Teddy la ns graceful on roller skates as while walking, more so. In fact. She can waltz on rollers and turn as many grapevines as anyone. She wreetles like Gotch and does not disdain to use the toe hold or the bear hug. She weighs 235 pounds, eats only sweat foods and little of them, and enjoys life. The applause of theater goes is meat to Alice Teddy and she has learned to bow and almost smile when her performance Js appreciated. With the children she is a favorite. If it were not for her inate curiosity to take everything apart and see how it works she would be given the run of .the place.

ALL WRONG This Mistake Is Hade By Many Hammond Citizens. Look for the cause of backache. To be cured you must know the cause. If it's weak kidneys Tou must set the kidneys working right. A resident of this vicinity shows you how. Mrs. R. Kelley, 4922 Olcott avenue, East Chicago, Ind., says: "I was troubled by weakness In my back and at first I didn't know that' it was

caused by 41 Bordered kidneys. I felt tired, weak and nervous all the time and I used several remedies without getting much help. A friend finally told me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and X got a box. The first few doses helped me and by the time I had finished one box, I was feeling better than X had in a long time. The terrible, dragging weakness in my back was soon a thing of the past and the euro has lasted. Since then, two others of my family have taken Doan's Kidney Pills with Just as good results as I had. I recommended. Doan's Kidney Pills when they cured me and I am glad te endorse them again." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't elmpry ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Ktdney Pills the same : that Mrs. Kelley had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. T. Adv.

With assets reaching $$5,000 and liabilities amounting to approximately 1100.000. the creditors of the Interstate Construction company of Hammond, hope to collect . their proportionate shares through the bankruptcy court w;tbtut trouble. Thirty-one thousand dollars of thr assets are- to be distributed among certificate creditors of the company without any prorating, as tiis class of creditors under the law collect 100 per cent of what is due it. Referee in Bankruptcy H. C. Sheridan of Frankfort was In Hammind

jyesterday to hear bankruptcy matters. iThe Hammond Savings and Trust com

pany was appointed trustee by agreement of all parties, with his understanding, that the matters are to be j handled Jointly with C. L. Surprise i Deputy U S. Clerk, who is to look j after the detailH. j The assets of the company are divided as follows 349,000 in cash, 130,000 in bonds and the balance in ma-jchlnery.

The company it will be remembered

went to the wall on a South Bend

i sewer contract In whiirh It encounter-1 jii quick sand and an underground; 'river. The city of South Bend realising that the firm was a deserving one goffered It a subsequent contract on i which it could have recuperated Its losses partially, but the finances of the

ccmpany at the time were in such condition that nj advantage of this offer

H could be taken. Since then the mem-

bera of the Arm have laid their plans to recuperate their fortune in the sewer contracting line. Their credit is unimpairel despite the unfortunate reversal which they suffered on account of the elements at South Bend. Referee Sheridan will be back again on the thirtieth of this month to hear claims en tho Interstate case. Charles Wnblla of Indiana Harbor went into voluntary bankruptcy and claimed his txemptlon. He was therefore cros-i-examined relative te an oath he took in the superior court at the time he was thrown Into the hands of a receiver. At that time he swore to having 34,000 above his indebtedness. Attorney Van Home is. the receiver out of the Mate court and was made trustee in ihe federal court. Hammerllk and Slavik of Gary scheduled assets of JL.00O casta- and book accounts amounting to $1,200

against liabilities . nearly twice as much. C. I. Surprise was appointed receiver.
