PRESBYTERY MEETS.
Rev. Shirley VIII Report Most Sue
cessful Year.

Local Presbyterians are interested
in the coming session of the Logans-
port Presbytery, which will be held
at the Trinity Presbyterian church at
South Bend next Monday evening at
1880 p. m.
Rev. E. B. Whitney of Rensselaer,
will preach the opening sermon. The
business sessions will be held on Tues
day. w. E. Shirley of the Hammond
Presbyterian church is permanent clerk
of the Presbytery.
At this meeting the work Of the
churches during the past year will be
up for review. The report of the local
church is & very encouraging one.
Eighty-two members have been added
to the church during the past year and
last Sunday was banner day. At the
communion service the house was full
and six were received into the church.
IN the evening there were so many
present that the auditorium was unable
to accommodate them, so chairs were
brought from the Sunday school room
and the extra people were seated in
this manner.

Property Owners on State
and Calumet Avenue
Cry Discrimination"
new PETITION STARTED
Opposition To Dry District Based On
Fact That Streets Are in
Business Section.

The question Of a dry district on the
east side is still far from settled. The
prohibitionists got a good start and
presented a petition to the council ask
ing that saloons be kept out of the
territory south OF the center of State
street and east of the center of Calu-
met avenue.
Most of the property owners on the
south side of State street and on the
east side of Calumet avenue as far
south as the Nickel Plate tracks have
considered their holdings business
property, hence their opposition to the
establishment of the dry district.
State street." they say. will some
day be the principal business street of
the city and Calumet avenue will also
be an important business thoroughfare
and to create a dry district on one
side of the street and not on the other
would be manifestly unfair"
Business property is valuable ac-
cording to the number of uses that it
may be put to-" say the owners of
property on these streets, land while
none of us care to run a saloon on
our premises or permit one to be run
there by lessee yet the value of the
property is affected for the reason
that a possible purchaser might want
the property for saloon purposes and
would pay a good price for it If he
could do with it as he pleased while
he would not think of purchasing it
if he could not"
Consequently they have started a pc
tition and have secured the sigma
lures of a great many of the property
owners in the vicinity. These owners
of business property say they would
not object so strenuously if the di-
viding line would be placed in the
alleys instead of the streets and then
there would be no discriminating
against one side of the street as COM
pared with the other.
The antrs will appear before the
meeting of the committee which has
this matter in charge Monday or Tues
day and state their position in the
matter.

502 Arrests, and 1882 Lodg-
ers; $4,000 Worth of
Property Recovered.
FORCE IS EFFICIENT
Controller Smalley Has Complete
Report Of all Departments in
Hand for Publication.

Hammond's annual police report for
the year 1906 which was completed
this morning by Secretary Charles See
and Chief Fred Rimbach, presents fig
ures of unusual interest. 1t is one of
the eight reports that We're made to
city controller Jhon d. Smalley, who
will have them published within the
next few weeks
The entire police report is one big
human interest story throughout,
which at the same time speaks much
for the efficiency of the local limited
department.
The total number of arrests made
during the last year number 532. OF
these ten were negroes and eleven
females. Two hundred and three We're
married and twenty five of them were
unable to read or write; II were sent
to the county jail and an almost equal
number had their fines staid; $50 DRINKS
were arrested and twenty nine burgla-
ries were reported.
A fact to which the local department
points with pride is that $2,34L75
worth of stolen property was recov-
cred. Another significant fact for Ham
mond is the statement that 1882 lodg-
ers applied at the police station and
were given lodging.
In the number arrested during the
past year about twenty different ma
tionalities were represented: OF these
335 were American born, so Irish 40
German, % Poles, English, Ital-
ian, 1 Japanese and 1 Chinese.
The South Shore Gas company did
not escape in the report as the police
kept an hourly tab on the lights that
are neglected and found enough lights
out to warrant a deduction from the
citys light bill amounting to $696.41
The exhaustive report is prefaced
by an Introduction by Chief Rimbach
on the police situation in Hammond
and the work that is being carried or
by the department. Chief Rimbach
gives due credit to each man in the
department saying that each and every
man on the roster of seventeen is g
capable and sincere worker and thai
the best of harmony prevails in the
department.
Mr.. Smalley's complete report in
Guiding the water, health and charity
departments, the board of public works
fire department, finance, engineering
law and library will be Forthcoming
within a few weeks and promises t.
be one Of the most interesting book:
ever published in and for Hammond.

TO BUILD $1,5oo,O0o PIER.
Plan Is to Make 1t Greatest Amuse-
ment Place In Chicago.

Gigantic in its dimensions, a pleas
ure resort pier to cost $1,500,O 900, which
will make the piers of Atlantic City
and English seaside resorts look dimin-
utive by companion, is to be constructed
from the foot of Thirty First street
a distance of one miles out into Lake
Michigan.
The building of this immense amuse-
ment resort, the first of its kind in or
near Chicago, is to be started June l.
1t will take about year to complete
the structure, the buildings at it's en-
trance, and on it's surface. The pier
is to be thrown open to the public
June l, 1908.
Fred B. Mclean is at the head of
the enterprise, and has already secured
permission from the war department
to construct the pier. A bill author
izing the building of the structure has
been introduced in the legislature at
Springfield, and Mr.. Lean says he ex-
poets no trouble in having the measure
passed.
According to present plans the pier
will contain almost every conceivable
idea for modern amusement and enter
tainment.

TRUST IN FEAR
OF KNOTS POWER?
Indianapolis Paper Gives
This as Reason for
His Resignation.

While the people of Hammond have
been specializing as to why Knots,
the founder of Gary, lost his job, the
indianapolis News comes out with a
very plausible explanation.
In an article printed in yesterdays
paper the statement was made that his
power had become so great in Gary
that the United States Steel corpora
ton viewed the situation with alarm.
Then the paper goes on to state that
he was president of the Gary Land
company; his brother was postmaster
of the city; his daughter was deputy
postmaster; his law partner, L. l..
Bomberger, was the towns attorney,
and his private secretary, oliver
Holmes, was city clerk.
In addition the article tells how
Knots made a quarter of a million of
dollars in commissions while purchas-
ing the town site OF Gary, and also
how he received a salary of $4,000 a
year.
1t does look as though Knots has
been looking out for number one"
but his friends here deny that this had
anything to do with his leaving the
company.
The indianapolis News goes on to
say:
His relations with the steel corpora
ton have been spectacular. He in
duced the steel corporation to locate
their $4,000 600 plant at Gary, and he
was commissioned by the directors to
buy 5000 acres of land in the sand
dunes. ten miles east of this city. He
bought this at prices ranging from
| $40 to 500 an acre. 1t is now held at
s2,500 to $4,000 an acre. Mr.. Knots
was nearly a year in closing the deals.
and he is said to have cleared $3.50, 900
as commissions out of the numerous
transactions. So elated was the steel
corporation over his success that 1t
| engaged him at a salary Of $4,000
year to represent 1t in the building
| of Gary on plans outlined by himself"
