CITY APPOINTS SIX POLICE

COURT MATRON

But There's a Joker in it They Must Work Without Pay. Tho two years' asitatkm of the HajTimond Woman's Club, the W. C. T. V. and other orgranlza-tions seeking the appointment of a polic court matron, was recognized for the first time today when the board of police commissioners consisting- of Oscar Krinbill. George Pearson and Georgre Vermett, appointed six matrons. Although Oary, East Chicago and practically every city in the stale has a salaried police court matron, Hammond is too poor, to employ a woman and the city has been put in the pos:ticn of begging women to serve without pay. Th six "Iionorary" police court matrons include Mrs. Maud Teazel,. Mr:i. o. M. Riser. Mrs. H. E. Granger, Mrs. James It. Graves and Mri Ora Cross ami Mrs. Roy Cameron. The "honorary" pnlioe court matrons are to serve the city without !ay. The duties of the police court ' hai ba present in the city court every morning and

that she investigate cases in which I

women are involved. ..She is also ;t probation officer in the sense t mt the cV.y couit looks to her to

keep tai! on women prisoners who are released on goood behavior. Mrs. Trlmbel, police court ma-tron at East Chicago, devotes from ten to fifteen hours a day o the work. ; "When told by a Time reporter of the action of the police commissioners, women prominent in1 civic affairs, hranded It as a hypocritical move. "If yew will pardon my French," said one well known member of the Hammond Woman's club," thrs merely confirms the general impression that the police commissioners have been kidding the women. Wo have heard rumors that the police didn't want a woman around the station but we have wanted (to ibelieve that the commit sioners were merely slow in appointing a matron. Now it Is plain to be eeen that they are determed not to have a paid matron. "What riETht have the police commissioners to expect the women of, Hajnmond to do police work without pay? Would they think of asking the business and professional men of the city to Berve on the police force in the same manner?" "The police commlssloners.have let t hem-serves In for the WTath and scorn of the women of Hammond," declared another woman, "I look upon this move as a cheap Joke. With the city spending thousands of dollars la other ways and millions on improvements it is ridiculous to say that they cannot afford to employ a police court matron."

Moise Dragomir, II i 3 Nan, Nickolas Braga and 'Oeorgo Lugofan. Nick Roclu and his faction Say that the church was organized as a defacto Independent church, advancing the tenets of Hhe Roumanian Greek Orthonox denomination in 1907. Tho name of the New St. Georgte Roumanian Orthodox church was first adopted in1814 and in 1915 it was changed to the present name.

The organization is said to he a 1

voluntary partnership of persona of Roumanian blood. They purchased property on Kim street In Indiana Harbor and built a church in 1915

which cost more than $20,000. It ' was agreed that In January each,,

year the congregation would select eighteen members to act as a committee of trustees. Members of the churrfh paid a monthly fee of $1. At present Savu Crucean is president of the trustees; Nick Andre la treasurer; Nlckodin Denes If secretary and Rev. Mihaltian is priest. These with others named as defendants are said to have taken possession of the church property and funds and through the treasurer and priest have appropriated to their own uses large sums of money for which they have failed to render an accounting. When such an accounting has been demanded by other members of the congregation It has been refused, - The plaintiffs object to the way In which Rev. Mihaltian Insists on maintaining the old connections with Roumanla. They point to the fact that he only recently made tle first move towards getting his own American citizenship papers. They ar supported In their claim by a statement signed by John Fodea, former chief of the Roumanian church in America, which was pub

lished In the July-August number

of "Samanatorul.'' The translation in part follows: "The cause of the coming to America of Rev. Mihaltian are of such nature that tbey cannot bo told here. This priest maintained himself and became rich only through intrigues. Always he posed as a great Roumanian, but when the

time came to act he 'backed, down. In the great conereis on March 10,

191S, in which has lien d-..l.ir.-d tho breaking of rvlations of the Amfri(an-i'."umaWn.i with TUinpary and affiliation with Roumanla lie was th. only una j'.sainst it and tried to prevent it, but that after a while, without any f-t.nme, he s-nt his children in Rnunumia where they- were given fre edm-ation in the military schools. Always he showed himself as a friend to 'L'niunea Societati'or de adjutor' but he really was agitating against the. leaders of the society. Always he collaborated to the "America" (Roumanian new sparer) and now he undersigns a niemoriam in which this newspaper is accused of contributing n the destruction of the church. All Ms activity is reduced to all kinds of Intrigues. lie is an intrlKUer of the most ordinary species." One of the plaintiffs alleges that when he visited Hie priest at the church and demanded that he he shown tho books, the priest replied: "Rather would I shave off 'my T;ard than show the hooks to anyone."

The last of the debris and wreckage from the S.VV'OO freight wreck on the Wabash railway at Crocker.

four miles cast of Gary last Sat

urday niorr.in.kr. . was cleared away

by the wrecker and labor pan? late yesterday afternoon. Trains over tho Wabash are. aii'iin operating on schedule time. Although no one was Injured in the accident, the wreck was worse in appearance than the million dollar Michigan Central express special which was wrecked one milo east of Gary several weeks

ago, claiming two lives and In- I Juring several others. A defective drawbar on the thlrc" J car from the engine dropped onto j

the track, derailing the car anil piling fourteen other loaded freight cars upon it. The track was torn up for a distance of several hundred feet. As a result of no one being injured no call3 were sent to Gary for assistance and few residents were aware that a wreck had occurred. The Times received a fiarh of the accident but the station

agent at the Wabash depot in--l

furmed a reporter that there only a few cars off the track. Th.J train was traveling at a rate of twenty-five miles an hour and was goinu: down grade. The

accident also occurred on a curve. The train was heavily loaded with high class goods. Special Detective Salzmun, former police chauffeur, was riding the rear of th? train when the crash happened.
