WOULD GIVE CREDIT
WHERE IT IS DUE
David Cohen's Friends Say
He Helped to Settle
Recent Strike.

1t appears from the reports that
have been emanating from East Chi
cago that David Cohen whose name has
not been mentioned heretofore. had a
great deal to do with settling the re-
cent labor disturbances over there.
Cohen is the proprietor of the Bee
Hive, a department store in East Chi
cago, and deals extensively with the
foreign element who have great deal
of confidence in him.
When the trouble arose in the mills
town Cohen was appealed to by the
businessmen to use his influence with
the foreign element to end the strike.
He worked for a day and half with
the men and it was finally agreed by
them that Cohen and five of the work
ingmen should hold a conference with
General Manager Crane of the Repub-
lie Iron and Steel works, and effect a
settlement.
They said they would be satisfied
with whatever arrangements Cohen
and his committee made. This CON
ference and the conference between
the steel officials and the committee of
fifty appointed by the mass meeting
called by the mayor of East Chicago
and the chief of police, resulted in the
10 per cent increase which was de-
cided upon.
Cohens friends are anxious that he
should have his share of the credit for
the settling of the strike

PLAN CELEBRATION
ON ELABORATE SCALE
Completion of the Federal
Building Will be Marked
by Splendid Program.


The first step toward the proper cele-
bration of the completion of the federal
building was taken last night at the
meeting of the directors of the Ham
mond Business Mems association which
met in the offices of GostIin, Meyn &
Co.
Jacob Schloer, president of the as
sociation, was appointed as the chair
man of a committee of five, whom he
is to select himself and who are to
constitute the executive committee Of
the association in the matter of max
ton.
The meeting was a short one and no
formal plans were adopted. AS part of
the program it was thought to be very
fitting to hold a reception at the new
building on the afternoon of the open
ing day, which is to be followed by a
banquet in the evening
Invitations will be sent throughout
the Calumet region and the men who
have been foremost in procuring the
building are to be guests of honor and
the principal speakers of the day
The necessary money to carry out
the plans of the executive committee
is expected to be subscribed from
among the business men and such
other people and institutions as may
wish to contribute in order to make
the affair a success.

PASSENGER SERVICE
BY 7TH OF APRIL
G. G. & L. Road is Rapid
.ly Nearing Completion
Work Trains Operating

Statements made by officials of the
c. c. & L. Railroad company to city
officials here yesterday are to the ef-
feet that passenger trains will be run
ming on that road by April I. Work
trains are already going back and
forth. ~
While the principal cities along the
line of the new road are Chicago, Gin
cinnati and Louisville, 1t is understood
in railroad circles that its completion
will mean direct route from any of
the two southern cities to ST. Paul over
the Wisconsin Central. as the president
of the last road is also the president
OF the c. c. & L. road.
The new road has made arrange
ments with the Illinois Central rail-
road to use it's tracks from Kensington
into Chicago to the Twelfth street sta
tion, which is also the terminal of the
Wisconsin Central.
The officials, who were in Ham
mond yesterday also promised that the
building of the passenger station for
Hammond which is to be located in
Homewood, is to begin in the near fu-
ture, they being as anxious to have il
completed as the citizens of Hammond
themselves.

OFFICE BUILDING PLANS
ARE NEARLY COMPLETED
S. A. Treat, Architect of East Chicago
Structure, Gives Out the Information
That They VIII Be Finished This
Week-MOst of the Suites Rented.

The plans and specifications for
new $4,000 Office building at East Chi
cago will be finished this week accord
ing to the statement yesterday of S. A.
Treat, the architect
AS soon as the plans are finished the
bids for the building will be opened
and work will be started
The new building will be located on
the corner of Chicago and Forsythe
avenues, the property now occupied
by the postoffice building. The struc-
ture Will be 1O0x150 feet and will be
six stories high and fitted with all
modern conveniences.
f. j. Fife, Theodore Emery and s. A.
Treat are the men interested in the
new structure.
Mr.. Emery says that over three
fourths Of the Offices are now engaged
and the chances are that by the time it
is finished all will be spoken for. as it
is located in the central part of the
city. being near both depots and the
street car lines which makes IT the
most available for business purposes
1t is said that two New York city
capitalists are interested in the new
building. but no information was OBJ
tanned to bear this out The name of
the new structure will probably be the
East Chicago building.

FRUIT JAR CONCERN
LOOKING FOR SITE
Representative of Muncie
Firm Visits Hammond
With View of Locating

Ball Bros. of Muncie. Ind. manu-
facturers of fruit jars and other glass
products and who are rated high in
Bradstreet's. may locate in Hammond
in the near future.
representatives of this firm were in
the city yesterday looking over the
field and were very much impressed
with what they saw here. They did
not visit any of the local real estate
offices and simply made their investi-
cation on their own account.
The firm is one OF several wealthy
ones that grew up in the gas belt after
the discovery of cheap fuel in this
region. Now that the supply of gas
is exhausted the firm is looking for a
location with better shipping facilities
and as the name and fame of Hammond
has spread far and wide since the Stand
ard Steel Car company located in this
region the members of the firm de-
cided to look over the territory.
AS the glass industry would diversity
the products of this region it is de-
sirable that such a concern be To-
Gated here.

WILL SPEND
ABOUT $4,000
Chicago Telephone Com
pany Plans Improve
ments in Equipment.
BUSINESS INCREASING
Will Acquire Toll Rights in Gary and
Possibly Obtain Franchise for
General Service.

The Chicago Telephone company is
planning extensions and Improvements
in Hammond that will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. The business
has increased at record breaking rate
during the past few months and the
present facilities have become entirely
The companys cables are now being
used to their full capacity and so it
has been found necessary to put in
overhead cables, to cast nearly $1,000.
Underground cables to cost $4,000, and
poles and other things necessary to the
equipment of the lines, to cost s14, 500.
In addition to this the company is
putting in two more sections of switch
boards and is equipping another toll
section. 1t has also been found neces-
sary to build a store room for the pur-
pose of taking care of the large amount
of wire cross beams and other sup
plies that are necessary for the main
tenance of the various lines. A lot is
soon to be purchased and the total ex-
penditure along this line is to be $4,000.
To give an idea of the size of this
telephone industry in Hammond, it
might be said that there are twenty
alone. In addition there are several
electricians and llnemen besides the
office force In all there are nearly
fifty people employed by the telephone
company in Hammond.
A matter of great interest to the To-
cal telephone people at present is the
question as to what arrangements are
to be made at Gary. The Chicago Tele-
phone company already has a line to
Toleston, but the only line it has to
Gary is through Chicago.
However, this much is known. that
whether Gary operates a municipal
telephone system or not the Chicago
Telephone company will have toll con-
nections and there is even a chance
that they may get a sub-franchise and
operate in Gary for that matter.

: ~A~~A~~~~~~~~~~~s :

The above statement was made by
States Attorney Boone after the jury
in the case of Jack Diamond charged
with theft of a quantity of wire had
brought in a disagreemens, havig
wrangled about the merits of the case
all night. The jury stood seven for
acquittal and five for conviction.
MIR. Boone. who thought he had a
clear case, is much chagrined over the
verdict and declares that he will try
the case over again Monday. His
statement was made advisedly and in
view of the fact that there have been
several other cases where jury has
refused to convict when in the opinion
of the prosecutor there was a prepond-
erence of evidence against the prisoner.
Chief of Police Rimbach is also much
disappointed at the outcome of the
trial for he hoped that the gang which
he believes has been responsible for
much petty thievery in this vicinity can
not be broken up until some OF the
ringleaders have been summarily dealt
with.
Stnrt Boys on Career of Crime.
Chief Rimbach said this morning
that several Hammond boys have been
started upon careers of crime by these
them to steal metals of various kinds
upon the promise that they would be
paid the best prices for all they could
find.
The case in question implicated Jake
Diamond with two other men who are
alleged to have stolen copper wire from
the Hammond, Whiting and East Chi
cago railway.
Christ HILL who is now serving a
term in the penitentiary for stealing
lead. as states witness admitted steal
ing the wire. Ed Kerner, who was
implicated in the lead case admitted
his completely.
Both of these men swore that after
the wire was stolen they informed
Diamond of the fact that it had been
stolen and told him where they had
1t hidden. The jury is said to have
hesitated about accepting the testi-
mony of men who were involved in
the theft of other metal and admitted
stealing the wire.
Yesterday States Attorney Boone
was compnmented on all sides for the
splendid plea he made to the jury and
1t was apparent that he has made a
strenuous effort to secure a conviction
in this case.

BRINGS VERDICT OF
ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Coroner Fails to Hold Fred
Wise for the Killing of
Eddie Kaiser.

Crown Point, March 22.-The coroner
this morning returned a verdict of ac-
cidental death in the case of Eddie
Kaiser, the newsboy who was Killed by
Fred Wise during quarrel Wednes-
day evening.
Up to o'clock this afternoon no ar
rests had been made and 1t is not
likely that any will be. as the coroners
verdict exonerates the Wise 10y. attri-
buting his victims death to an acci-
dent.
The evidence before the coroner all
tended to show that the dead boy had
been the aggressor In the fight Three
playmates of the principals, Lyle Wise,
brother of the boy who killed young
Kaiser, Clarence Stilson and Ernest
Bosel, all appeared as witnesses and
their testimony was such as to exon
crate Fred from blame. The culprit
is overcome with grief at the result of
his quarrel with Kaiser, protesting that
he would have never fought with him
if he had had any idea the results
would be fatal.
The arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been made but 1t is expect
ed that the Kaiser boy will beb uried
tomorrow.

much incensed at the appearance in
their streets yesterday of some huskies

JOHN MITCH NAY RECOVER.

Reports from Cedar Lake this morn
ing say that John Mitch, who attempt
ed self destruction Tuesday, is still
alive and the doctor has given out the
information that with good care he
may possibly live.
Mitch still refuses TO talk about the
matter more than to say that he wishes
he had made a good job of it. His
wife is firm in her denial that there
was any family trouble and she can
give no reason for her husband at
tempting TO commit suicide. The only
thing that bars Mitch's recovery is the
fact that blood poisoning is likely to
set in.
