HAMMOND TO GET
THE ECONOMY TEST
Automobile Trade Associa-
tion Decides to Hold Con
test in this City.
LOCATION IN OUR FAVOR
Grown Point abandoned Because Of
Distance-Eight Hundred Per-
sons Expected to Participate.

Because of Lake County's splendid
gravel roads. Hammond has been
chosen as the rendevouz for several
hundred automobiles on October 10Th,
in the one gallon economy test of the
Chicago Automobile Trade association
and the Chicago Motor Club. The run
will begin at Cedar Lake at about 10
o'clock in the morning. Until last
evening the rendevouz was conceded to
Crown Point and extensive arrange
ments had already been made with ho-
tells there for the accommodations of
a least 500 guests. 1t was then the in
tention of the promoters of the test to
open the course in the county seat and
end it in Cedar Lake. But upon per
sonal investigation of Chairman Gun
ther and his colleagues yesterday at
Cedar Lake they decided not to go over
the same course twice during the test.
To prevent this all the competitors
viii gather at Cedar Lake on the even
ing OF October 18th and remain there
for the night as guests in the Sigler
hotel.
On the following morning each com
peting car viii be supplied with just
one gallon Of gasoline. The length of
the run for the various machines will
vary greatly and is estimated by some
to reach from 10 10 nearly 80 miles.
The probabilities are that there will
be machines all along the line from
Crown Point to Hammond.
Because OF the hopelessness OF these
cars to turn around TO so to Crown
Point or Cedar Lake to learn the re-
suits. it was found expedient to let
them so toward Chicago and meet in
Hammond.
The event is not only to be a con-
test Of economy but also a pleasure
affair. The arrangement committee
viii endeavor TO make this the chef
d'oeuvre of the season.
The "doings" will begin on the pre-
vious evening with an invitation ban
quet and viii wind up in Hammond at
noon. on that day this city Will hold
more automobiles than it has ever held
on any other day.
The roads in Lake County have been
pronounced as ideal for the event by
the motor enthusiasts. There is just
enough up and down grade in them
to take away the monotony OF the even
drive. besides giving the machines the
right kind of a test.
Crown Point is inclined to feel some
what sighted bu< has found satisfac-
ton in the fact that it was the first
choice and that it was passed up only
for reasons OF distance.

NEGRO BOY STOLE COAL
TO SUFFER FOR HIS ACT
Harrison Jenkins, Often at Police
Headquarters for MIsdemeanors, is
Bound Over to Juvenile Court
Faces Reform School.

Harrison Jenkins. a sixteen year
old colored boy, who for the past ten
years has given the police much trou-
BILE, was arrested again Sunday, for
stealing about d quarters worth of
coal from the yards of the Independ-
ent Coal and Ice Company at Six
teenth and North streets. His
case came before Judge Converse yes
terday morning and at the advice of
Prosecutor Jessup, the boy was bound
over to the Wayne County Juvenile
Court
Owing to the fact that the boy has
been a constant source of annoyance
to the police, and has tben arrested on
several different occasions for petty
thieving, it is thought that he will
be sent to the reform school at
Plainfeld The mother of the boy is
heartbroken over his latest misde-
me- amor, as she has begged and plead
ed with him to act as ne should. Even
the appliance of the good old fash
ioned slipper, welded by the mothers
hand, has proved an ineffective cure
for the boy.

City Health Officer Bond
Makes Suggestion to the
Members of Council.
GOOD REASONS
HE WOULD USE THE REID MEM
ORAL HOSPITAL IN PLACE OF
THE PRESENT UNSATiSFAC-
TORY STRUCTURE.

Dr. Charles Bond, secretary of the
Board of Health, last evening sub
mitted to council a recommendation
that the present detention hospital,
better known as the pest house, be
abandoned and that plans be formu-
lated for utilizing a part of the Reid
Memorial Hospital for this purpose.
His principal reasons for making this
recommendation were that the pat
tents could receive better treatment,
that the expense to the city, which
now amounts to S207 so per annum,
would be minimized and that the
present dentention hospital buildings
were old and almost unservicable.
He also stated that the extension of
Main street to the city limits would
encroach on the present property of
the hospital.

The Meeting yesterday afternoon
heard the report of the Meeting on

considers subjects which have refer
ence to the spiritual needs of the
church. The report took up the mat
ter of charges of unsound doctrine,
brought against the Rev. Oliver NJ.
Fraze~. by the pastoral committee of
the Whitewater church of Richmond.
The matter was handled in such a
way, however, that the Rev. Mr.. Fra

that of the Whitwater church, but all
who heard the report fully appreciat-
ed what was meant The report up

had made charges against him.
Text of the Report.
1t said, Our members are further
advised to refrain from giving Gre
dence to rumOrS of unSOundness,
where no charges could be proven and
not to assist in the circulation of
such rumors.'
The pastoral committee at the
Whitewater church, after having
charged their pastor with a faulty
doctrine, refused to appear against
him at the Quarterly Meeting, which
took up an investigation of the case.
The Rev. Mr.. Frazer was eXonerated
by the Quarterly Meeting and now he
is further approved by having the
Meeting of Ministry and Oversight
censure his accusers.
In their report the Meeting on
Ministry and Oversight suggested
series of questions to be taken up by
the monthly and Quarterly tings
for discussion Among these were
two very weighty propositions as fol
lows: Does the advance of science
demand an altered teaching of the B-
ble?" and The Completeness of the
Divine Revelation This phase of
the report aroused a spirited discus
sion among the Friends, perhaps the
most heated of any yet held. Several
contended that the church members
were not competent to take up such
questions, and would only arouse i'll
feeling and a spirit of strife by SO
doing. Others thought that the
Friends were so mentally equipped
that they could approach any subject,
no matter how nome ntouS. The
matter was finally put to the Meeting
by the Clerk and as there was di-
vision of sentiment, the question will
not be given to the smaller bodies for
their consideration. 1t is the rule of
all Quaker gatherings that their ac
ton must be unanimous.
