Made BY Him That Rates
Are Higher.

The officials of the local telephone
company take exception TO a great
many of the statements made by

lished in THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES We'd
nesday.
In answer 10 the statement that the
rates in Hammond were too high. a rep
resentative Of the Hammond company
said that the rates in Hammond for the
residence and business service have
never been advanced
lie said that Hammond today is pay
ing exactly the same rate for the serv-
ice as are Joliet. Aurora. Elgin. Wauke-
gan, Valparaiso. South Bend and other
similar points.
The statement was also made that
in points where the Chicago Telephone
company has the strongest competition
the rates are no lower than they are
in Hammond.
Besides this, the Hammond company
has the most up-to-date plant in In
diana. During the summer the COM
pany viii spend in the neighborhood of
$1O,0 900 to $4,000 to place wires under
ground This Will bring no additional
revenue into the office. but will result
in improved service to the subscribers.
The statement was also made that
the apparatus, switchboards and other
appliances in Hammond are of most
modern manufacture, and there is every
facility for giving the 1000 or more
subscribers in this city the best of
service.
The representative states that SIS for
four party phone is a low rate and
no smaller charge or similar service
can be found within a radius of fifty
miles.

Hammond a service that will be in ad-
vance of the present needs of the city
and realizing the growing Importance

Woodmen Consider Giving
Back Funds Subscribed
by Business Men.
ENCANPMENT A FARCE
Foresters Failure to Live Up to Agree
ment Causes Dissatisfaction
Among Hammondites.

Hammond business men who donated
so freely to get the $500 bonus asked
for by the Cook County Foresters TO de-
fray partial expenses of the encamp-
ment and to decorate the city may have
their money refunded 10 them as a re-
suit of meeting held last night.
The committee which is composed of
S E.Swaim. Henry Huber and NJ. Rhu-
stadt who We're appointed to solicit
funds by Jacob Schloer of the Business
Mems association met to discuss what
was to be done about the matter as
the majority of donors towards the fund
for decorating and furnishing the bonus
were dissatisfied with the way the en-
campment had been misrepresented TO
them.
The committee failed to decide wheth
er the money would be returned or not
but in all probability it will be as the
committeeman in general seemed to
favor that plan.
Another meeting will be called within
few days to settle the matter.
When the Foresters first asked for
the $500 bonus to defray expenses OF
their encampment attached to their
coming to Hammond, the business men
responded nObly and within few days
the $500 was subscribed. IN return the
Foresters agreed to have at least 10000
people in Hammond on July 4th and
to have between 500 and 600 men en-
camped at Harrison Park during the
entire stay here, which was TO cover 9
period of one week None of the prom
ises were fulfilled and as result the
business men and others who subscrib-
ed to get the encampment feel thai
they ought not be compelled to pay
over the amount they subscribed on tho
grounds that the Woodmen did not full
fill their part of the agreement.
OF the $500 subscribed about $3.50 ha:
been paid out for expenses attached t
the encampment so there will be only
about $3.50 to be turned over to The
original subscribers.
However the business men all seen
willing to stand the loss of that mucl
but do not want to hand over the $15t
/ left to the Cook county order
One of the business men this morn
ing said, In my estimation the Wood
mems encampment here was a farce
and he is supported IN his declaration
| by other prominent citizens.

C. C. G L. TO ENTER
HAMMOND OVER ERIE
Confirmation of Long Standing RumOr
Received Today Together With An
nouncement That a. Nj. DeWeese Has
Been Appointed Agent.

1t was announced today that the Chi
cago, Cincinnati & Louisville road will
enter Hammond proper over the Erie
tracks coming in from II. Y. tower at
the Erie yards over the Erie tracks
using the Erie's depot. A. M. DeWeese
of the Erie, has been appointed local
agent for the c., c. e. L.
For some time it has been rumored
that this road would come in over the
Erie's tracks, but when officials of
either company were questioned upon
the matter they invaribly would answer
that there was nothing to 1t. The con-
flrmation of the rumor came today.
From Hammond the new road will go
over the Erie tracks to the state line
whence they will use the Illinois Cen
trail tracks on into Chicago, entering
Central station at Park Row as at pres
ent.
Many people would have taken the
new road to Cincinnati or other points
traversed by the company, but for the
inconvenience of walking to the tenn
porary station on South Holman street
This will now be eliminated and pas
sengers can secure c., c. & L. tickets
at the Erie depot from Mr.. DeWeese.
When asked whether the new road
was doing a good traffic and freight
business, Mr.. DeWeese replied in the
affirmative. The agent declares the of
ficials of the company are very en-
thusiastic over the progress of the

II B. Brown. the president OF VAL

one of the greatest educators in Indi-
ana has been elected trustee Of the
National Educational association but
his election was only effected after a
big fight had been made to defeat him.
An exchange has the following to say
about the convention.
Los Angeles. July 12.-There is no
fight in the National Educational asso-
citation this year. Two years ago the
members were all in d fighting mood
from the start to finish. and many had
expected some lively -doings at this ses-
sion, but they were doomed to disap-
pointment First, Miss Margaret Haley
failed to appear as expected as leader
Of the opposition to the new charter
and the election of Superintendent Cool
ey TO the presidency of the association.
SO the big scrimmage of the conven-
ton was off.
Failing to get any excitement out of
that situation, the lovers of turmoil had
looked forward to the election of trus-
tees this afternoon to furnish an in
teresting contest Strong opposition
had been worked up against the re-elec-
ton of Trustee II. b. Brown of Valpa-
raise, whose friends were equally de-
termined to see him victor.
Mr.. Brown has been trustee but three
DAYS. having been elected to fill out an
unexpired term. He was objected to by
many of the older members because of
his obscurity in the associations at
fairs DR. William T. Harris had been
expected to nominate w O. Thompson.
president of the Ohio State university,
at this afternoons meeting to succeed
Mr. Brown in which case the latter
would have been defeated. There was
much opposition to this plan, from
President Schaeffer and others, and to-
day Mr.. Harris announced quietly that
he would not appear at the meeting OF
the board at all. This ended the oppo-
sition, and Mr.. Brown was reelected.
Would Unite the World.
The national council. in executive SEES
sion to-day, adopted the following re-
solutions:

SHORT CHANGE TRAIN WORKERS
CAUGHT AT WHEELER,
Reported HOIdup Turns Out to BE IL
Simple Case of Flim-Flam.


A wild report came to Hammond this
morning from Wheeler, Ind, to the
effect that two masked men boarded
a Grand Trunk train and held up one
car Of passengers, and making their
escape, rode to Wheeler with a farmer.
Upon receipt Of this information
Sheriff Green OF Valparaiso was called
up, and he said there was no truth
whatever in the report that the men
had held up the train, but went on
to say that two men had short-changed
some of the passengers and made their
escape by jumping off the train at
Wheeler, where they were later cap
tured in Meisters saloon by Sheriff
Green and two of his deputies.
When the two men reached Wheeler
they made for the saloons and, buying
drinks for every one inside, rendered
large bills, which were readily changed
by the proprietOrs.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
Grand Trunk train in Valparaiso, Sher-
if Green and his deputies were notified
of the short change game which had
been worked, and getting in his auto
mobile, started for Wheeler where he
captured the two men, who offered no
resistance.
At Valparaiso the two men Were
lodged in jail where they will be held
until this afternoon when they will be
given a hearing before Justice T. 3,
Iaderbach.
