PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER
EXTENDS INVITATION.
Rev. W. E. Shirey of the Presbyterian
Church Invites Everybody to At
tend Services on Labor Sunday.

Sunday, September is Labor
Sunday at the Presbyterian church.
The pastor will preach a sermon to
the laboring people. Special invi-
tations have been given all labor
unions to attend the service in a
body. On this day the church viii
give the right of way to "all that
labor A great movement is on
foot among the churches for the lab
oring man. Practically every minis
ter in the Presbyterian church will
preach Labor day sermon either
Sunday morning or evening and mil
lions who are accustomed to think
that there is no place for them in the
house of God will be the guests of the
great Presbyterian church. The SER
vices of that day are to be in no
sense sectarian. 1t is an effort to
bring about an understanding be-
world. Both are working for the
same end and both have in a large
way misunderstood each other. In
this day misunderstanding are be-
ing removed and the day is not far
distant when "all wrongs shall be
righted and the whole world be unit
ed as Eden was of old"
With a purpose for these things
the pastor invites conference with
labor leaders, or a committee OF
labor unions that he may under
stand and be of assistance. A per-
sonal and pressing invitation is here
with given every individual laborer
who reads this word to attend the
service Sunday morning at the First
Presbyterian church at 1915 O'Clock.
You will be sure of a welcome. Come.
Come early and be sure of a good
seat.

Hammond Locally interested.

Hammond has been wanting to do
similar things, although here the re-
striction would have consisted in a
high license. The case of Hobart
will be watched with interest all over
the country. The humorous part of
the whole situation is that a country
town is ready to fight a corporation
and stand for a principal and it's own
welfare
Whether Hobart wins or loses it
will have the support of every true
business man, not only in its own
limits, but everywhere the big mail
order houses are handicapping the
small merchant. 1t is possible to
buy the same grade of tea in Hob
art that the Eureka Tea company
sends out from Chicago. The merch-
ant helps support the town, is in
fact part of the town, and objects
to sit by while a non-taxpayer with
better advertising facilities comes
in and snatches his trade.

TONY TAPER PLANS
BIG BUSINESS BLOCK
Will Raze Wooden Structures Ad-
joining Present Premises in Hob
man Street.

Tony Taper will build a business
block on the corner of Holman and
Sibley streets. The new structure
will be of the same type as the
building he owns in Holman street
next to this corner and he expects
this new block to be a continuation
of the old stone fronted building.
This will mean that two old wooden
structures which have been an eye
sore to the people of Hammond are
to be replaced by a substantial fire
proof block.
The frontage in Holman street is
so feet which will make two basi-
ness places possible. The corner is
to be occupied by the Citizens Ger
man National bank. The inside
room has not yet been rented. There
will be modern Office apartments on
the second floor.
Mr.. Taper when seen last night
said that he had determined to build
the new business block but that he
would not begin operations until next
June.
The plans have not yet been decid.
ed on but Mr.. Taper said that the
new block would cost in the neigh.
borhood of $4,000. When thi.
building is erected and replaces tbs
wooden structures that now occupy
the site there win be but two wooder
houses left on Holman street be
tween State street and the court
house.

REIGN OF TERROR
IN JERUSALEM.

There have been so many burglar
les over in Jerusalem during the past
week that there is a regular reign of
terror, and c. H. Dubridge will move
his family into another neighborhood
because of the bad condition of af-
fairs over there Monday night Mrs.
j. c. Thompson of $50 Cedar street,
reports that her house was broken
into by providers. The people are
so terrified by the frequency of these
attacks that they hardly dare leave
their homes after dark The resi-
dents in this portion of Hammond
are complaining bitterly of a lack of
police protection but realize that it
is not the fault of the local depart
ment which gives as efficient protec-
tion as is possible with the number
of officers so limited that they have
to cover such a great extent of terri
tory.

Eureka Tea Co. to File In
junction Suit Against
Indiana Town.
WOULD SOLICIT TRADE
Ordinance Under Dispute One Profib-
iting Outsiders From Infring-
ing a Local Business.

City Attorney LeGrand T. Meyer
will file suit in the superior court
tomorrow for the Eureka Tea COM
pany of Chicago in which the latter
will try to enjoin the town of Hobart
from enforcing an ordinance passed
August prohibiting outside con-
Germs from soliciting within the city
limits.
No arrests have as yet been made
in Hobart and the Eureka Tea com
pany has not waited for any to be
made as it has over a hundred Gus
toners there which it does not want
to lose or disappoint.
The question is an interesting one
not only to Hammond but other cities
which have been trying to check the
invaders who work with the mail or
der system.
The idea of such an ordinance as
Hobart now has on it's hands is not
a new one. Other cities have tried
them before and two similar cases are
pending now in Indiana courts.
The Hobart business men, how
ever, are determined. The Chicago
mail order houses are making strong
inroads on the Hobart merchants and
the feeling against them has been
growing for a long time until on
August the town board passed the
ordinance.

Burgomaster Of West Ham
mond Humiliated in
Presence of Mob.
STARS RESTORED TO OFFICERS
Degraded Officers vindicated by the
Village Council With
Cheers.

Captain Henry Peters and Officer
Barnie Johnson Of the West Ham
mond police force whose stars were
taken from them by the autocrat of
village, Peter Max, last Saturday
evening were vindicated at a special
meeting of the village council Of West
Hammond last night and Max him
self was only saved from the violence
of West Hammond citizens by one of
the village police who escorted him
home.
President Max called the meeting
as he said for the purpose of deter
mining whether the officers should
be reinstated in their old positions
AS soon as the meeting was called to
order Alderman Green made a motion
that both officers should be reinstat-
ed In a minute Aldermen Rohwed-
der, Fritzsche and Wleklinski were
on their feet and said the officers
had never been suspended and that
they would not vote for the motion
In the place of Green's motion
one was introduced by Wleklinski
commanding Max to return the Of
fcers' stars before the next morning
or they would indict him for malfeas-
ance of office. This motion carried
unanimously.
Citizens of West Hammond crowd
ed the council chamber and then
overfowed the stuffy little room un-
til the stairway was jammed and
there were crowds standing in the
/ treet below. When Wleklinski made
his motion it brought the matter to
head and soon the crowd was yell
ing derisively at President Max.
Hang him. Shoot him down! Get
rope. Tar and feather him! Burn
him alive!" they cried and those
hearing the shouts in the street be-
low took it up and for a time it look
ed as though there Nigh be a full
aedged ''neck-tie party" over in West
Hammond.
Max was asked to explain why he
had taken the stars away from the
officers but was confused and fright
tened and could not reply.
1t was not more than fifteen min.
utes after the meeting had been call
ed to order that it broke up in dis,
order.
! The feeling in West Hammond i:
very strong against Max and it i:
+ freely predicted that he will be i'm
peached by the council on one of the
numerous charges that could bt
: brought against him.

DIVORCE, FIGHT;
THEN RE-MARRY
John Young and Former
Wife Brought Together
Through Quarrel.
JUDGE M'MAHON WEOS THEM
Magistrate Who Adjudicates Assault
Case, Makes Couple Man and
Wife.

Some of the old proverbs have
been put out of business and the wis
dom of others has been more fully
established by the experience of
John Young and his divorced wife,
Kate Young, which had its denoue-
ment in the remarriage of the pair
today. In the meantime Judge. Nc
Mahon is cogitating a few lines on
the philosophy of Mr.. Weller to the
effect that woman is queer"
The reason for the judges conclus-
sion will be apparent when it is ex-
planned that Young was up before
him on complaint of his (Young's)
wife a few days ago, for assault and
battery following a separation of ten
| years.
Young, who is Al years old, is a
resident of the locality and has been
a frequent visitor to Hammond since
the time he and his bride of a year,
decided that they were not cut out
to travel in double harness and took
separate ways. Mrs. Young obtain
ed her decree just ten years ago and
has been living at the corner OF
Gostlin street and Sheffield avenue
She is a daughter of John Austgen oi
lSchererville and is 81 years old.
A few days ago she and her hus-
band met and the latter, it is alleged
getting into words with her, proceed.
ed to handle her in a manner fal
from gentle. She screamed and FLED
and later swore out a warrant charg
ing him with assault and battery
Young was arrested and brought be
fore Judge Mcmahon for trial.
Il have but one method of dealinG
with wife-beaters, said the magis
trate severely. Il fix your punish
ment at thirty days in jail and vii
also impose a fine"
Young, who was very meek by thi
time. begged for clemency with tn
result that Judge Mcmahon fnall
agreed to let him go for two day
. under 5000 peace bond, citing hir
to appear before him again this morn
ing to give an account of himself.
Promptly to the moment of open
| ing of court Young appeared in tn
court room accompanied by his form
t er wife who had been the plaintiff
in the assault case. Both thei
faces were wreathed in smiles
! Young approached his Honor wit
proud, firm tread. The judge still
; looked severe.
: What have you to say for your
2 self?" demanded he.
/ Young turned to his ex-wife.
I'VE have decided to get marie
t again." he said. Here is the Il
cense.'
