RAPID TRANSIT

7. ]. Meyer the Attorney for New
Interurban Prophesies Bright Fu-

The officials Of the South Bend in
terurban are getting busy. 7. J.
Meyer of South Bend was in the city
today. He will be in the city again
Monday and will bring with him J.
B. Hanna, the president Of the road.
He informed the Times reporter
that as soon as the matter of secur-
ing the right for the Illinois Central
TO use the right of way of the inter-
urban to South Bend had been ar
ranged, that railroad would then per-
nit the electric cars to enter Chicago
over its tracks and the construction
of the road would begin at once
The trip to South Bend will be
made in two and one-half hours, the
best cars obtainable are to be used
and the new road will be the equal
of the famous Aurora, Elgin and Jol-
let electric.
Mr.. Meyer said that the Gary peo-
pie have granted them every conces-
sion desired and that the officials
there were anxious, to have the road
completed to Hammond at once The
South Bend attorney thinks their
wishes will be gratified within a
year

A. f. Knots went to Chicago to

and for the purpose of getting ideas
on the subject he will soon visit In

Manual Training high school mark
the greatest advance along the lines
of industrial education.
Besides this a system of ward

idea is to have high school in a
central location devoted exclusively
to high school work
Before any pl n for the building
of schools is adopted it viii have the
endorsement Of the best educators IL

CITY ATTORNEY PREPARES
ANSWER 10 NLOnEL fLATE
Company Asked to Pay It's $4,000
to the City and Promises $25,
Depot Before Franchise Will be
Considered

In letter prepared today by City
Attorney Meyer to the N Y. C. &
st. L. railroad (Nickel Plate) in
answer to its petition for another
track franchise the company is told
in plain words that it is giving Ham
mond the most shabby treatment of
any road; is carries more than two
thirds of all the Chicago passengers,
md that its accommodations do not
nearly answer the demands. That
furthermore it must pay a $4,000 as
sessment that was made against it
two years ago when Fayette street
was improved Nothing less than a
SIS, 900 depot will be considered.
Already the board and council are
laying plans what answer to make
to the Michigan Central when it
asks for another concession or fran
chise.
Next to the Nickel Plate the Mich
igan Central has been the most per
sistent in disregarding the public's
rights, and in the matter of exceeding
the speed limit through the city linn
its, is second to none of the many
roads that pass through the city.
Better depots are however not
asked for as a revenge on the COM
panies for disregarding Hammond
but merely because circumstances
demand it.

RAILROAD
CHANGES
Michigan Central May Run
Into Chicago at La
Sale Station
EXTRA SUBURBAN TRAINS
Nickle Plate to Use Grand Central
Station--Lake Shore Terminal
Remains at LaSalle Street,

1t is rumored that some important
changes are to be made in the route
ing trains through Hammond into
Chicago.
The story is that the Michigan
Central wants a down town station
and that it will run into the LasaIle
street depot.
The Lake Shore has found its SUI
burban service so successful that it
desires TO put on new trains. This
they find impossible because of the
danger OF congesting the passenger
traffic. So the arrangement is to be
made to run trains into the Grand
Central station The Big -Four
which now gets into Chicago over
the Lake Shore road will hereafter
run in over the Nickel Plate tracks
to the LaSalle street station and in
this way all of the Vanderbilt lines
will be brought together.
The removing of the Nickle Plate
trains from the LaSalie street sta
tion will permit the Lake Shore !
run fjye or six extra suburban trainA
into Chicago and will improve the
local service materially.
With these matters settled the
problem OF the location OF new depots
mere ought to be easier OF solution.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL WANTS IN
Asks The Board Of Public Works To
Grant them a Franchise.

In the great game of railroad
building there are moves and count
ermoves SO numerous that their true
significance is seldom appreciated by
the man not closely identified with
railroad affairs.
The Illinois Central is ambitious
to run a feeder into the eastern
states The Eastern roads which
now control the situation, naturally
do not favor this move But the IL
linois Central is still determined and
its latest move is to secure a third
track parallel to the new South
Bend interurban which will be oper-
ated as a steam road and handle
freight only.
Arrangement has already been
made to use the new interurban as
a feeder for the passenger traffic.
The chief engineer of the road was
in the city yesterday and said, should
a franchise through Hammond be
granted the third track would be
laid to Gary at once. The road is
incorporated under the name Ken
sington and Indiana Eastern.

Drinks Coffee and Dies.

The smaller children were in bed
at the time their father drank the
poison this morning and the wife
was on the street buying bread from
a baker. When she returned to the
house she found her husband sitting
on a chair in a dying condition and
unable to speak. Once he asked for
a cup of coffee which was given him.
He gulped it down eagerly and the
cup fell from his hand. Two Of his
grown-up sons helped to carry him
to the bed where he died without
regaining consciousness.
Wisnieski was a hardworking man
sober and we'll liked by his neigh
bors. He had earned for himself a
nice home where he and his family
had been living and was contemp-
lating buying a house for his SON
in-Iaw. having discussed these plans
with him yesterday evening. The
inquest was held this afternoon.
Definite funeral arrangements have
not yet been made. although it is
likely, that he viii be buried at
Coneordia cemetery next Monday
morning.

Much to the dismay Of the young
hopefuls Of Gary, plans being for
mulated for a school by the time
school should begin in the fall. The
Steel Company decided that the town
ship could not take care of the ur-
gent demands that would be made
upon it, hence it planning a build
ing to accommodate about four hun
dred pupils. something along the
lines of the Central building at Ham
mond. This will allay the fears of
parents now there, and the lack of
school for children need no longer
deter any others from coming to the
City Of Steel"
