Hammond Attorney Puts One Over On His Opponents. Attorney W. J. McAleer pulled a "Flicker" on hi opponents in the local public utility figrht by quietly getting himself elected delegate to the republican state convention at Indianapolis and making a successful fight to have the party platform carry a plank for the abolition "or amendment" of the law providing for a state public service commission with power to fix rates on public utility companies. Host people thought that McAleer had srlven nn hia flo-t .-tf v.

not to make an Investigation of utility rates. But McAleer had merely taken his case to a higher court. Even his most bitter opponents on the utility rate issue did not surmise hia rlan and liking him personally voted for him as a delegate to the state convention. VVhen McAleer got down to Indianapolis on Monday he took off his coat and began a fight to have an anti-utility commission plank in the Platform. The plank as presented by Bush, of Indianapolis, needed a firhter like McAleer. The Hammond man went before the rlatform committee and told them that the public

MOTHER

LOVE INSPIRE HER? Pleads Guilty to Operating a Still Found in Yesterday's Raid. Mother love! Was it that that inspired Mrs. Margaret DeFries, of Hammond, to undergo arraignment in police court this morning on charges of violating the liquor law? Was she motivated through a desire to shield her son that prompted her to plead guilty to operating a still, to be pilloried before the gaze of couxt room habitues? The court thinks so. But It could not prove that. It did accept Mrs. De FYies testimony, however, that she operated a still in her home at 712 Summer street. It accepted her appeal to mercy on the grounds that the seven gallons of 100 proof, Karo syrup coloreci moonshine found in her home had not been offered for sale. It accepted also the plea when she said she never had sold a drop. It accepted when she said she wou'd have sold it, probably, later on. This to obtain funds to pay heavy doctor ar.d hospital bills. she incurred through a lonjj siege of sickness.

In city oouirt Judge Cleveland assessed her a fine of $100 and costs and placed over her head a suspended 60 day Jail sentence.

STILL FILING TAX RETURNS

March 15 was the last day for filing income tax returns. Prior to that date every newspaper in the land had warned repeatedly of its approach. Everybody who could read should have known that neglecting to file tax returns In time meant a penalty later. Yet A. Dick Maddux, Hammond's

j deputy revenue collector, is receivi ing Income yix payments right along

He is also seeing to it mat tne penalty is tacked on. By the very complete checking system which the revenue department maintains It is a djfflcult matter for a person to avoid paying Income tax if he has sufficient income to come under the law. Moving from one city to another or even to another state, seems to do no good. This lias been (own repeatedly at the Hammond office. Fellows who thought they had shipped It over the government by moving to Hammond have suddenly been confronted wlt'.i a notice to appear before Mr. Maddux. If they failed to pay up as demanded they found the amounts

deducted from their next pay checks as provided by law. Some nine such cases were wound up yesterday among employes ot one railroad In Hammond. Maddux cleans up similar batches every day. And it is not always Individuals. Every now and then ihe has, to bring some corporation to time. But the result Is always the same. They pay.

"I am deeply gratified that the objectionable Home Rule Plank was eliminated from the republican platform." Mid the Governor in a state

ment issued today. "I made the Og'ht believing that the work of the tax commission deserves praise and the part of their duties that would have been eliminated by. the plank Is one of the best parts of the law. In the fight with the opponents of the tax law, regarding which the real facts were told only by International News Service, it was necessary to act quickly, the hour was late and the convention was waiting for the plat-form, hence the plank otrlking at the Public Service Commission was not dl.icussed with the resolutions committee. I am confident, however, that the legislature will not abolish the public service commission."
