ICE SUPPLY
IS ASSURED
Hammond Concern Will En-
large Plant to Triple
Present Output.
NO NATURAL PRODUCT
January Thaw Puts Any But Arti-
fcially Frozen Ice Temporarily
Out of Question.

Despite the January thaw that has
prevailed for the past month a possible
ice famine for Hammond has been
STAYED off. Already the foundation is
in the ground on which will be built
an addition to the present plant of the
Hammond Pure ce company. thus en-
abling it to triple its present output.
The output now is twenty tons of
ice day, and even thus early the com
pany guarantees sixty tons day
Thus far competition for the local
field seems to be far away as none of
the companies putting up natural ice
have been able to find any that was
thick enough.
Thinks Twill supply Demand.
An official at the ice plant was asked
this morning whether sixty tons of ice
a day would supply the local demand
during the summer time. In his opin-
ion the amount is sufficient
A report was circulated that another
artificial ice company was seeking a
location in Hammond, but thus far
nothing more has developed to relieve
the situation that is looming up for
next summer.
Business men, especially the butch
ers, hotel and saloon men are ready to
discuss the situation. They depend
either on the artificial or natural sup
ply of which there has practically not
been any this winter.
One butcher in South Holman street
said, in speaking of the situation:
There is no question at all but what
the Hammond Pure Ice company will
be able with sixty tons day to sup
ply the local demand, especially since
the demand in ice. like Anything else, is
generally regulated by the price"
II see where highbalIs are going still
higher if we don't get good supply
of ice this winter" said a saloonkeep-
er this morning in speaking of the
subject.

TAFT GAVE A WHOLE DAY

Says He VIII Decide Soon rs to Wheth-

mftted to Reverse Flow of Calumet.

Attorney E. C. Lindley and Chief En-
gineer Randolph OF the drainage board
returned from Washington, D. c.. yes
terday, where they went last Saturday
with President Mccormick to apply TO
Secretary of War Taft for a permit to
reverse the flow of the Calumet river
as a preliminary to the construction of
the Evanston and Calumet auxiliary
channels. They believe that the war
department will issue the desired per
nit with certain restrictions limiting
the amount of water taken from Lake
Michigan for sanitary purposes.
I'VE appeared before Secretary Of
War Taft by appointment Monday"
said Mr. Lindley. and he devoted the
entire day to listening to our argument
in answer to the unfavorable recon-
mendations of the international water
ways commission. He said he wopld

WILL SERVICE
Be IMPROVED
Now That Company Is TO
Receive Proposition, the
People Wonder.

Now that the Hammond. Whiting
and East Chicago street car company
is to be asked by the Hammond coun-
cilmen and w. D. Webb of the Stand
ard Steel Car company to extend its
line on Conkey avenue to the car works
the service between Hammond and
Chicago will be improved
AT the present time there seems to
be no excuse for the Inadequate SER
vice that the two cities have to con-
tend with. The financial returns to
the company warrant the putting on Of
two additional cars which would run
at good profit.
One Of the employees waiting with
his car in the switch on South Hoh-
man street summed up the situation
in the following:
There are at present only three
cars running on this division. There
is an extra car but it is held for emer-
gency purposes. The three cars have
two switches, one in South Holman
street and the other at the distillerv.
In my opinion we could put on four
cars and reduce the schedule If an
other switch were put in between the
distillery and East Chicago
Yesterday evening we carried on
our trip from the Conkey plant TO
East Chicago 113 passengers. This of
course was during the rush hour but
on the average each car carried about
], 400 passengers a day According TO
those figures a car earns for the com
pany about $40 a day.
Last Sunday we started a car from
East Chicago with eighty-five passen-
gers Think of it, Eighty-five peonla
in one car, and we would have taken
more but, honestly, we didn't have the
room"

Passengers Aboard liza Train Ar
rive in Hammond at 4:3O by
Circuitous Way.

bad smashup between two freight
trains occurred on the Indiana Har-
Dor railroad last night at 1880 a. M.
In which an engineer was severely
injured and may die and several cars
were completely demolished. AS a re-
suit the 1887 theater train, due here
at 1880, but which usually loiters
along the way and gets into Ham
mond any old time, was delayed until
4:30 this morning, and after making
the trip to this city over the Michigan
Central railroad, it's sleepy passengers
were unfeelingly dumped off at Calu-
met avenue. whence they were com
PEELED to walk to their homes.
The collision between the two freight
trains occurred in the vicinity of the
Grasselli Chemical works, southeast Of
East Chicago and delayed traffic for
several hours. 1t was caused, evident
ly, by the confusing of the orders by
the tower man, who allowed one of the
freights to pass on down the track
when it should have been held.

Engineer Is Hurt
The force of the impact caused En-
gineer A Christner of Indiana Harbor
to bump his face into the throttle and
he was quite badly cut The other
engine crew jumped and escaped with
slight injuries.
The engines were both badly damag-
ed and will require extensive repairs
before they can be used again OF
the cars. several were smashed into
splinters and others were badly dam
aged, but will be patched up and put
back into the service
1t is said that at the time the two
engines came together one of them
leaped into the air but settled back
on the track when the force of the i'm
pact had been spent
Shortly afterward the Lake Shore
suburban train with several Hammond |
aboard arrived at the scene
OF the wreck and was signaled in time
to prevent another smashup. The
train was, however. compelled. after
hours of delay, to make the trip to |
Hammond over the tracks of the Miehf-
gan Central railroad. and at an early |
hour this morning these unfortunates
aboard had to walk to their homes in /
various parts Of the city.

IS HALF KILLED

Two Austrian Robbers Set
Upon Compatriot With
Fists and Knives.
Especial to Lake County Time.).


Gary. Ind, Jan. 17-Frank STRAIT
ner, an Austrian laborer, was half
killed by a couple or thugs last night
in the woods near the Pratt hotel.
While asleep in his bunk another
Austrian named Anton Lapter set up
on and attempted to rob him. STRAIT
ner offered resistance, whereupon Lap
ter beat and slashed his victim with a
knife. An accomplice who was in
waiting, fearing his friends would get
the worst of 1T, lent a hand The
boarding house boss lent a hand The
and, not caring for trouble of that
kind, threw the struggling, slashing
Austrians out bodily. So engrossed
were they in their own difficulty that
they made little, IL any, resistance and
on landing in a heap outside, Stratner
picked himself up and ran.
Being unfamiliar with the ground he
ran into a brush-heap where, before he
could extricate himself, he was over
taken by the thugs and beaten again
This time his assailants did not stop
until they were physically exhausted
and they left their victim half dead
upon the ground.
He was found there few minutes
later and cared for by Drs. Walsh and
Tomplin, who We're near and were at
tracted by the cries of Stratner.
Lapter was arrested this afternoon
by Acting Chief Martin in saloon in
the south part of town. The identity
of the other is known and Chief Mar

Furnishes Commission of Vile
Crime With Paltry Fine
of Five Dollars.
EVIDENCE IS COMPLETE
Sam Paymint, Bartender, Makes
Practice of Annoying a Sixteen
Year Old Girl.

Signor Caruso is tenor of inter
national fame. Sam Paymint-if that
the way they spell it's a Hammond
bartender. Paymint possibly never
heard Of Caruso and there is small
chance of Paymint's fame reaching the
know%edge of the opera singer.
Yet. they, Caruso. and Paymint
have something in common. Both have
been pursuing the same course of de-
generacy.
The only difference is that the man
ifestations of the Hammond bartender's
degeneracy were infinitely coarser
than those of the Italian singer
Caruso's offence was, impulsive; Pay
mint's was studied and long practiced
The objects of Caruso's indlgnities in
the obscurity of the monkey house in
Central park were women who had
umbrellas and fists to defend them
selves; the object of Paymints loath-
some propensities was an innocent
child.
Paymint confessed in the police
court this morning to a most disgust
ing crime against decency and Judge
Mcmahon fined him So.
The crime of which Paymint stood
confessed calls for severer punishment
in law. In some localities it calls for
a strong rope and a lamp post Judge
McMahon's explanation of his leni-
ent treatment of Paymint was that he
took compassion on the mans wife
and child"
According to witnesses who were
prepared to testify Paymint for
the last three months has been
hanging about a certain bakery and
lunch room at hours when the 49,
year-old daughter of the proprietor
was alone in the store. that is between
five and six o'clock in the morning.
Paymint grew holder day by day. At
length the girl complained to her
father and he complained to the police
a watch was placed on the store and
this morning Paymint was caught
Judge Mcmahon fined him SIS on the
plea of guilty
Until now Paymint has been stand
ing the early and late watch in Al
carriers saloon in State street.
The father of the girl will have no
farther recourse to law, as he naturally
does not wish to make his daughter
the subject of notoriety.

KLEPTOMANIA

hind the Story of His Sweet,
Sad Life.

1t is not often that a man before com.
uniting a crime will sit down and write
out the details and in connaHtion give
the history of his past life
This, however, happened this morn
ing when Walter Resinck, alias Fred
Jones. porter. disappeared with $40
belonging to Sam Plains saloon. known
as the Broken Corner. In his letter
Resinck admits that he is an ex-con-
Wet and that he is kleptomaniac. His
whereabouts at the present are IN
known, although the local and Chicago
police have been put on his trail. It
is thought that he boarded the 5:45
Erie this morning and went to Chi
cago.
