Jacob Schloor, Ilammnod's first shoe merchant, started for Europe with the intention of visitii-.g tht scenes of his boyhood. Uppermost in his mind was the thought that he would again see his older sister whom he had met only once since he left Germany for America fifty-one years ago. This morning his children in Hammond received a brief post card messagS from him, stating that the sister. Anna, had died May 19. several days before his boat had landed at Rotterdam. The bond between Mr. Schloer and the sister who was three years older than he had always been strong. He was particularly anxious to visit with her because she had always resided on the old homestead farm near Wurzberg. In letters written by her during the last few months she had expressed elation over ihe fact that he was coming and always urged him to allow nothing to change his plans. Mr. Schloer went first to Luxembourg to visit with relatives and it was while there that the sad news reached him. This is his second visit to Germany 5ince he first left when a boy of eighteen. He returned in 1901. His aged mother died the following year. FORTUNE SMILES UPON TWO CALIFORNIA WOMEN f INTERNATIONAL MEWS SERVICE) IjOS ANGELES. Cal..

State Superintendent of Indiana Anti-Saloon League At M. E. Church

Sharp jabs at city, county, state and federal oificials charged with the enforcement of the prohibition laws, characterized the address of E. S. Shoemaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, Sunday afternoon at the First Methodist church in Hammond. "You must first of all exercise care in the selection of officers, especially the sheriff, prosecuting attornt and Judge of the criminal court," said Mr. Shoemaker. "From what I know of some at least of your county officers, they are not ready to bprout wings. "Oho of them. I . remember quite well as state senator a number of years ago when the prohibition fight was on in the legislature. He was wet as the governor of New Jersey. Now you have him in office and! are expecting him to enforce prohibition." Mr. Shoemaker did not mention the name of this particular official, but from the instances cited and the Inferences T.efore and after his state ment it is supposed that he referred to Prosecuting Attorney Dwlght M. Kinder. Supt. Shoemaker came to Hammond at the request of the Citizens Committee to give suggestions on how the general public can get behind the clean-up campaign started by The Times and aid In pushing it to a thorough completion. Close scrutiny of public officials before nomination and election was one of his suggestions. Close scrutiny after election was another. He believes that officials who do their duty and get results should be given a friendly slap on the back and should have the aid of the public wherever possible. "If they are doing well, tell them now." said the speaker. '"Don't wait until they are dead to send them flowers. A dead man can't smell them. Remember the fight is a long and hard one. You may have a public official who has been hammernig away unceasingly. As he wipes out law violaters here, more spring up there. He may be getting discouraged as no word of commendation comes from the friends -of law and order. He may feel that his efforts are rot appreciated. When you know that he can finish out his term without all these trials merely by sitting back and seeing nothing, can you blame him if he weakens in the fight?" "You have had a mayor the last four years who has done more than any mayor in Hammond in combating liquor, gambling and other vice interests. You have re-elected him and I am proud of you for it. Don't let all of the burden rest on him without expressing your approval from time to time. "You elected a city Judge who Is a credit to the city of Hammond. I wish that we had a .Judge Cleve- i land in every city of Indiana." ' Then ppeaking of failure of offi- j cials to do their duty, Mr. Shoemaker tookup the prosecuting attorney's office. He told the audience that if they felt the prosecutor was not doing as he should one re course would be to the attorney i general at ndianapolls. The attorney general, he said, could step in any time and bid the prosecutor stand aside while he took charge of any situation which was apparentlybeing fumbled by county officials. The people also have the right to select an attorney to sit as assistant to the prosecutor in cases in which they are interested and there la no possibility of those cases being nolle prossed or continued on people's attorney concurs in the i motion. He also called attention to the fact that citizens are too often unwilling to Turn in evidence which they have of law violations. AVhere violations of the law continue In a building he showed that this place can be closed up for one year as a nuisance. Referring to federal officials, he said: "We want federal men who are friends of the law and not sworn enemies as many of them are. The idea of putting In an exsaloonkeeper as prohibition agent is! preposteroua." Mayor Brown was present and was called on for a brief address. He also took a rap at federal agents who used to be In the saloon business. He expressed the belief that many of the distillery thefts were frame-ups and cited the instance in which forty-nine barrels were taken from the Hammond Distillery in a truck without the thieves ever being detected. "I believe." said the mayor, "that If we can get rid of the soft drink parlors we could clean up the liquor and gambling violations. Under our state law we cannot place a heavy license on soft drink parlors. If they had to obtain a license and pay a subctantThl fee they would think twice before violating the law when they knew that their place would be closed up and the license fee lost. If caught at It." Short addresses were made by a

Dunn Also Postpone Uramblmg uases; I'or Grand - Jury to In- j elude in their Investiga tion. Because Attorney H. B. Stewart was too parsistent in his pleadings in the defence' of a dozen gamblers who had been caught in a raid at 1540 Adams st. over the week-end. City Judge William Dunn of Gary this morning lined him $10 and costs and told him if he did not shut up he would add a jail sentence. He iater withdrew the fine, however. On top of this, Jjdge.Dunn continued the case until Wcdnesoay morning, so that the grand jury now in session at . Crown Point might have en opportunity of. including the gambling charge at 1540 Adams st. in their drastic countywide Investigation. "Here is an open and shut case." said Judge Dunn, "and I will continue the case until Wednesday morning so the grand Jury can take it up if they care to. Here is a bunch of gamblers who had the nerve to operate in the face of the fact that the grand jury opened its investigation last Friday. "If I try this case this morning and there is not enough evidence produced to convict all of them, the newspapers and the public at large will make me the scapegoat for letting them go scot fret. Not me, I'm not going to jail for anybody." "I'll change my mind about finelng you," the court told Attorney Stewart, who thanked the judge. Although Vie was not in favor of his clients being sent to Crown Point to bear the brunt of the investigation, he Intimated that the grand jury would find out something about the case and "a whole lot more," as he put it. OF MILLER ARE CALLED The deaths of two well known Miller residents over the week end has cast a cloud of sorrow over Gary's recently acquired tenth ward. On top of the sad but expected news Saturday afternoon that Arthur Mayhak. victim of a Negro gunman's bullet, had succumbed to the Injury at Mercy hospital, residents were again thrown into sorrow yesterday afternoon when J. C. Anderson, deputy sheriff, had died suddenly at his residence. Another unexpected death occurred at the old beach at Miller in the afternoon. With his wife and two children, Herman Hennlngesen, 1516 East 71st place, Chicago, was on a day's outing at Miller. After parking his car at the parkins space, Hennlngesen was taken suddenly 111. A physician was called but he succumbed to heart failure thirty minutes later. Today the body was shipped to Chicago for burial.

Prosperity's revival in the Calumet region is nowhere better indicated than at the plants of the Z'.'..nois Car and Manufacturing Co., where. It Is announced, orders are already on hand which will keep the wheels of Industry spinning at top speed another twelve months. The company has two plants, one at Hammond and one at Chicago Heights.' Both plants share in the bright prospects. If all the orders now on hand are filled by this time next year nearly forty miles of cars will leave these factories. J. E. Fitzgerald, of Hammond, who is treasurer of the Illinois Car and Manufacturing Co., made the welcome announcement this morning after his company had just clinched a couple of contracts which were "whoppers." They already had orders for repairing 1.000 cars for the New York Central R. R. and 300 steel and iroi! stock cars for the Nickel Plate. Recently the company secured contracts for 1.000 huge automobile box cars for the Nickel Plate. At the same time tTIey took the job for heavy repairs on 300 steel gondolas for the Illinois Central. Lastly, they were successful bidders for the contract rrjr repairing 2.000 box cars v for the New York Central. In these orders, 4,600 cars are involved and the contracts prices amount to several millions of dollars. The flood of money into the region has already started and will continue unabated. It is expected that long before these jobs have been attended to other contracts will have bee. closed which will insure the steady operation of these plants for "years ahead. "These contracts will keep both the Hammond and Chicago Heights plants in full operation for over a year," said Mr. Fitzgerald this morning. He had just received con firmation on the final order and was elated over the prospects. SAYS GLAND IS I 'Homeoparhic Head Says All That is Needful Is To Eat Them. f INTERN ATIONAL NEWS SERVICE CHICAGO, June 19 Folks who desire rejuvenation through the process of glandular transplantation need not undergo the ordeal of an operation. All they have to do is to eat the glands. This was the declaration today of Dr. Roy Upham, of Brooklyn, president of the American Institute of Homepathy whirh began its seventyeighth annual convention here today. His remarks were made in connection with the discussion of the gland transplantation operation recently performed upon Harold F. McCormick, Chicago millionaire. "Results may be obtained." he declared, "by feeding glandular extras made from the pituitary, endocrine, throld or superrenal glands of the hog or sheep." Dr. Clarence Bartlett. president of the Pennsylvania State Homeopathic Society, was not so sanguine. "Such an operation as that upon Mr. McCormick." he said, "may have to be repeated at inte a!s In order to maintain effective results and then the result is dubious." Dr. Bartlett attacked methods of administering the Volstead act ami made a plea for the right of physicians to prescribe light wines and beer. LEGION URIVE WHITING. IND..

Ahlgren, Whiting attorney and state representative, says to fellow members of the American Legion.

Mocf estly arrayed In house dresses an armed with brooms and dust cloth j the "chambermaids'' worked indusS trlously until late in the night. Th silk hose and French heeled slipper below and the scarlet rouge and ela borate coiffures above the ginghar dresses, combined with the uhusua performance of sweeping and dustin at midnight, were the weak spots 1 the "alibi." It was not to be exi pected, however, that Pauline, Jam and the other imprestarlos of th underworld would be as exactlc, about details as David Belasco.

"It will blow over In a few days,' was the common information. "Sooi as the grand Jury gets through w will open up." Beneath this surface confldenc there was a good deal of soreness however. Mayor R. O. Johnson an other officials were being severel censored by the resort keepers. garrJ biers and their lieutenants. Thing should never have gone as far a they did. they said. It would hav been better to hare closed dowi when The Times started the crusad It seems that the underworld w iojq oy someone in a position as power to "never mind The Times an keep right on." The dive keepers, especially, ar mad, it was reliably reported. Th keepers were told to "go to the cWJ court" last Monday. That would pre vent the grand Jury from lndictin them. They wtnt. Although n raids were made and no evidence ob tained against them their cases wer. continued two weeks, giving th grand jury ample time to make aH investigation. Now. !t appears, the are strictly up against it. And the.'J are sore. They say that they havd been terribly abused. Nobody seemed to know Saturday night, or at least nobody cared td tell, why the slot machines wera not seized by the authorities and taken as, evidence. Instead they ar merely out of sight and can be pu back into operation whenever th "storm has blown over." Each day lessens the confidencJ of the dive keepers, the slot mach lne owners and the liquor law vio lators that things are "going to b right again." It is said that thej aro beginning to. wonder whetheJ they were given the "straight dopei when they were told that The Time was merely "after something" an that "things would be patched up." To quote one attache of a gamb ling house correctly: "If that damn ed paper wants something why thJ hell don't they give it what it want?) and cut this stuff out before th game is ruined for everybody?" There you have the serious aspect of the situation, from the viewpoint! or tne unaerwona. it begins tcl look as though "the game" was rutnJ ed for everybody for a long time td come. It was the driest Saturday nlghtj In many moons In Lake county. Re ports from Cedar Lake, the LakeJ front cafes.
