BET JOLT J COURT Hammond "Blue Laws" were given a knockout in Hammond city court Monday by a citizens' jury who found Sam TruDDe. a grocer st 7S9 Alice street not guilty of "Sabbath desecration vrinr his grocery store open for three hours on Sunday. Mr. Truppe was arrested on a warrant sworn to by Thomas J. Watuski ? the Butcher's Union. After an hour and firn minutes dederation the jury, consisting of some Of the prominent business men of the city, returned their venlict favoring the Oefendnnt. It sbowei that a jury of fair minded cititens would not prosecute a small grocer for keeping open three hours on Sunday for the beneflth of the poor reople," said one court attache. It was shown during the trial that many of the poorer people could not afford to buy meats and foods that would spoil over Sunday without ice. "It would cost them fifty cents for ice to keep 25 cents worth of meat." was the opinion of one attorney. ' Most of that class buy their little bit every day and there Is little harm in a grocer keeping open for their benefit," said another lawyer. The case was the first jury trial in the new city court before Judge Fred Barnett. CROWN POINT Mrs. George Fisher will leave on Wednesday for Hinsdale. 111., when she- will be the guest of her sister. Mrs. Leila Howell, who resides with Mrs. F. N. Biggs. Mr. C. H.

Mr. Herbert Johnson spent Sunday at Napanee, Ind., where Mrs. Johnson and son haev been spending the past week with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnson, Sr. , Harold Nichols of Hebron spent Sunday at the M. J. Brown home on Fast street. ' During the heavy electrical storm on Sunday afternoon the Letz factory was struck by lightning. The north end of the building was quite bay burned, the bricks being torn away by the bolt. Lightning struck a barn on the' Werbls farm about seven miles southeast of town on Monday afternoon burning it to the ground. A short time ago when the cyclone visited this section a smaller barn' was demolished. The Crown Point fire department was called but the barn was burned by the time tne scene was reacnea. The following Lake county licenses were Issued: Henry F. Trowe and Mary Alma Scott. Hammond; Samuel Laude and Hose Miglori. Indiana Harbor.

The Red Cross the symbol of a cause wide as the world and high as Heaven. Laugh When People . Step On Your Feet Try this yourself then It along to othars. It workaf 338 Ouch! ? ! ? ! ! This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drag railed freezone when applied to a tender, aching: corn stops soreness at once, and soon the corn dries up and lifts right out without pain. He says freezone la an ether compound which dries immediately and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter of an ounce of fre2one will cost very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. Millions of American women will welcome this announcement since the inauguration of the high heels. Adv.

UNITS ITS RECORD RLE "Not a man drafted in HaTmond" the slogan of the hour. k Mayor John D. Smalley and, "esse E. Wilson, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Sergeant William Welsh, recruitingoff icer, formulated plans today to raise Hammond's quoto of 25 men for the concsripion army by volunteers thereby leaving Hammond with a "clean slate." With this object in view Mayer Smalley wired Adjutant Smith at Indianapolis this morning "if Hararaonl's draft quoto is raised will Hammond be exempted from the draft call?" An answer was not received up to two o'clock but it is hoped that official confirmation will be granted. If so, arangements will be made immediately for a patriotic mass meeting and the question put up to the young men. Twenty-five loyal sons must go as volunteers. They will be sen', to Fort Benjamine Harrison, Indianapolis, for training. They will be kept together. From time to time all sets of volunteers who wish will be sent to Fort Harrison. It is hoped that a company of Hammond boys will be raised. Nearly fifty thousand volunteers are already in training at Fort Harrison. If Hammond is granted permission to escape the draft it will probably be the only city in the United States with as brilliant a record. HOBART PATENTS. Patents have been granted the follow ing Indianans: Louis C. and J. H. Brahct, Hobart, shock absorber for motor vehicles. PROCLAMATION State of Indiana. County of Lake.

Alien slackers, except alien enemies ajod subjects of any country allied with the enemy country, must declare their intention to become citizens, making them subject to conscription, or be deported. This proposal of the Senate will be enacted before the operation of the draft law exemption clauses. A resolution of Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the military affairs committee, providing deportation of such aliens within ninety days is pending in that committee. It was drawn with the approval of a majority of the Senate. and is simply awaiting word from the State Department that it will not interfere with treaty rights and the approval of the War Department. A similar resolution by Senator lieCumber is pending in the committee on foreign relations, fi but the Chamberlain resolution probably represents better the form the legislation will take. It is in direct line with editorials in newspapers urging action to force British and other slackers into military service and not permit them to find a safe haven in this country while American boys are being sent to the front to fight their battles. The Chamberlain resolution follows: That in the execution of the selective draft authorized by the act of Congress approved May 18, 1917, entitled "An act to authorize the President to increase temporarily the military establishment of the ITnited States," all aliens resident . in the United States for more than one year, exclusive of alien enemies and alien subjects of any country allied with the enemy country, who have not declared their intention to become citizens shall be subject to be drafted for military service on the same terms and under the same conditions as citizens of the United States.

MOOSE AT PITTSBURG

A New Britannica Volume to Deal

Everyone who owns The Encyclopdedia Britannica or is thinking of ordering the work will be interested in the announcement by the publishers that plane are under way for the issue of a New Volume which will bo practcally devoted to the war. When the war ends the world will no doubt slip back into its old groove and go on about a.s before, but every one will want a true account of the war to know who began it, how it- was fought, what changes and innovations it brought about. They will want not the ephemeral guess-work of the magazine writer, or the biased account of the national historian, but an accurate and judicial story by scholars and experts. The features of this New Volume which will strongly appeal to all Americans, is the fact that the publishers will apply to the preparation of the New Volume the same high standard of impartiality and accuracy and thoroughness ot treatment that mark the parent work itself. The New Volume will be, so to speak, a complete reference work on the greatest war of all history. As is well known the editor and contributors to the Britannica have unusual facilities for gathering official infortn;;on from all the belligerent nations--ihe kind of information that will make the new volume, notwithstanding its wide scope as planned, just as good a book as the Britannica itself. Throughout the Britannica's career of almost 150 years nothing of the sort has ever been attempted or suggested. Even after Waterloo, which ended the period of Napoleonic wars which had convulsed Europe for upwards of eighteen years, the publishers of the Britannica, then in its fifth edition, did not signalize the event by doing anything for the public out of the ordinary. But this is a much more enterprising age, as well es an age of millions Of eager renders and students of affairs. The publif-hers feel that the war has creattd an occasion for increasing the usefulness of the Britannica on the one hand, and on the other, for putting into concrete and authorita ive form, for present-day readers and for posterity, the facts of a chapter of history which Lamon. Italian, age 22, salesman for Melgrarn Bros., shoe store, 136 Broadway, was arrested today and charged with larceny. "During the period of his employment by this firm Lamon has been converting proceeds from shoe sales to his own pockets. He has admitted to taking money belonging to the firm after making shoe sales. "LINN." So Says War Department, and Final Reduction Ap peal Is Being Made Today by Local Authorities. President Wilson passed Gary's appeal for Justice in determining- its draft quota to the provost marshal-general and that official of the war department has put the situation up to the governor of Indiana. As the case now stands it Is up to Governor Goodrich to determine wheth er Gary's draft quota shall be made on a basis of 110,000 as was estimated by the war department, or on a basis of 55.000 or thereabouts, as estimated by city and local exemption officials. If the higher figure stands Gary will be penalized. Appeal to GoTernor Today. A final appeal is being made to Governor Goodrich at Indianapolis today by C. O. Holmes, chairman of exemption board No. 2. who was delegated to do this by Mayo Johnson. The mayor last night talked with the Rovernor over the long distance telephone and arranged for the appointment to meet Holmes. Chairman Holmes took with him a mass of data. including a copy of General Crowder's letter saying- the governor can right any equalities. Holmes also planned to tell that 40 per cent of Gary's draft registrants are aliens and alien enemies, while another 25 per cent are first paper alienn. Any doubling- of the city's popu'ation will penalize the city, which Is hard hit by the fact that as the law now stands aliens are exempted. In case congress does not change the law nearly every American resident of Gary of draft age will have to bear arms, while thousands of the foreigners who vote here- (under the Indiana laws) can stay home and roll up big profits to forward back to AustriaHungary and other countries. Of course there are hundreds of foreigners, who may not claim exemption, but there are a vast number of others who are loyal to the extent cf not seeking to escape military immunity. An extract frcm General Crowder's letter putting the situation up to the governor is as follows: "It follows that while this office, when preparing the federal apportionment to states and territories and the district of Columbia, was bound by the census bureau's estimate of the aggregate population of each such state and territory, and district, the g-overnor of a state is not necessarily -bound by the census bureau's estimate as to the population of counties and cities, but may depart from those estimates for reason that appeal to a sound discretion " FREIGHT RATE INCREASES 0.

will be of Immeasurable influence upon the future of civilization everywhere in the world. The publishers further announce that the new volume will record any changes, geographical, political or otherwise, that may follow upon the making of peace. It will also give new maps wherever necessary; and another feature will be the inclusion of biographies of the leading personages of each nation, military, naval and diplomatic, who have played a prominent part in the war. Many of them were practically unknown when the war started. The history of our own civil war affords many examples of comparatively obscure men who won immortal fame on one side or the other of that conflict. In this connection it is interesting to note that when the present war began in August, .1914, Sir Douglas Haig, now field marshal, was in charge of the military camp at Aldershot; General Petain, the new chief of staff of the French armies in the field, was a retired colonel; the mighty von Hlndenburg was enjoying life as a private individual in a small town in Germany; Lvoff, the new Russian premier, was practically unknown outside of official circles in Petrograd. While the greater part of the contents of the new Britannica volume will be a connected narrative of the war, the less spectacular results will be covered also. It will tell ol any new discoveries or progress in fields that have been directly affected by the war, such as surgery, aviation, the development of the submarine, the utilization of man power in the nationalization of industries, new developments in public hygiene, and in any other directions found necessary. This in effect will make the new volume a supplement to the Encyclopedia Britannica itself a virtual revision of the. work, which will briny it abreast of the world's knowledge as it stands at the end of the war. The new volume will be issued in bindings to match the Britannica, and the prices at which it will be sold to present owners of the Britaninca will not exceed the per-volume price of the 1 Britannica as now sold. mines in Ohio, Pennsylvania.
