DRAFT DODGER
KILLS HIMSELF
Mother, Son and Yellow
Dog Die Because Man Is
Called in Chicago by the,
Draft.
And a yellow dog died with
him.
Ewald Holz, a draft regis
trant of 6348 Addison street,
Chicago, kept his end of a sui
cide bargain with his mother
yesterday when he took his
life as the body of his mother,
who killed herself last Mon
day, was borne" to burial.
Ho'z ended his life in the
same manner by gas and
the same time 4:30 p. m.
and in the same chair as did
his mother. Both had feared
the draft. A yellow dog,
Holz's last companion, died
with him.
The young man's friends
and relatives denied that
either he or his mother were
anti-American in their sympa
thies. But he recently had
been dismissed from his em
ployment as a shoe clerk. Up
on his mother's death it was
necessary for him to borrow
money with which to pay for
her burial.
He had talked of his trou
bles to Mrs. Finfrock, wife of
a member of the undertakers'
firm of Sademann & Finfrock.
"My mother and I have de
cided to die together if I am
called in the draft," he told
Mrs. Finfrock.

i
mond Theatre; Patriotic,
Woman Brings John Jon-!
koski to Time; Gary Man
Held at Station.
A patriotic Hammond woman, Mrs.
John Itrookover. made a Gary foreigner
toe the scratch at the Del.uxc theatre
in Hammond last night when he re
fused to arise as the Star Spangled Ban
nrr ivus being displayed, after a thea
trical attache had refused to make the
fellow stand up.
This morning John Joukoski. K02
Delaware street, Gary, faced Judge
Klotz in the city vourt and got the
castigating of his life. Joukosi is held
nt the Hammond police station until
tomorrow morning at 3 o'clock. He
spent the night in jail.
The incident attracted a lot of excite
ment in the moving picture house lat
night The great wr.r pi-'ure. "My
Four Tears In Germany"' was being
displayed and was about unreeled when
th" patriotic air began 'o be played.
The hundreds of people in the theatre
arose as one man with the exception
of Joukoski. Mr. and Mrs. John Frook
over and daughter were seated near the
Gary man and noted that he was the
orly person in the house sitting. Miss
I'.rookover called her mother's attention
first to Joukoski and the mother polite
ly asked him to stand. Joukoski refus
ed and others told him to stand up but
he declined.
Mrs. Hrookove then went to the usher
J. Wilson and asked him if he wouldn't
do something Wilson refused, saying
he could do nothing and told Mrs.
Brookovcr to keep still as some one was
talking.
Mr. Brooliover then decided to take a
hand and yanked Joukoski down to the
police station.
At the bearing this morning a sharp
colloquy took place between Mrs. T-lrook-over
aril Manager Michaelstetter who
said that he had no authority to m
people arise and hat his house was too
big for him to be all over it to watch
people Mrs. Brookovcr pointed out
that nt other theatres in Hammond the
ushers notified people that they must
stand.
The indignation of Judge Klotz was
aroused by the foreigner who satd he
didn't know whether he wanted to fight
for Germany or America, end it was on
this statement that Joukoski got a
lambasting and was remanded until to
morrow. FLRG DAY SERVICE
