WHITING FOR
AMALGAMAT|ON
Mayor Smith Admits Popu-
lar Vote in Oil Town
Would Favor This.
is IMPROVEMENT MAD
Recent Banquet Starts Progressive
Boom That Scarcely Knows
Where to Stop.

During a conversation in which the
present and prospective prosperity of
the whole Calumet region was the prin-
cipal topic, Mayor Smith of Whiting.
who was in the city yesterday, said:
If vote was to be taken in Whit
ing tomorrow the citizens would de-
eide TO unite with Hammond. East
Chicago and Indiana Harbor"
The principal objection heretofore"
said Mr.. Smith, has been the fact that
Writings tax rate has been very low
while the tax rate in Hammond and
East Chicago has been very high. How
ever the people OF Whiting have awak-
ened to the fact that the city is badly
in need of better pavements and as a
result OF the agitation started at the
recent banquet of the Whiting Improve
ment association. the council voted to
pave with brick. 119th street, Schrage
avenue and New York avenue. There
is no telling where they would have
stopped If / had not called a halt.
Writings Taxes Higher.
This means that Writings tax rate
Will rise rapidly. while in Hammond
the rate is becoming rapidly lower"
said Mr.. Smith, land the same is true
be a readjustment OF the rates in ali
three Of the cities and when this is
done the time will be ripe for these
communities to get together"
Mr. Smith said he firmly believed the
time was not very far off when all
three Of these cities would be built up
within their corporate limits and they
would be so closely connected that the
idea of remaining separate municipali-
ties would be ridiculous.
whiting has all along been. ..cousid-
cred the most reluctant of all OF the
cities In this region to take up with
the idea of anal gamation and this
change of attitude, caused by the fact
that the city by the lake has decided
to spend some money on improvements,
is significant.
May start AmaIRamntion Boom.
It is even possible that Hammond
and whiting might unite with the idea
of taking in East Chicago later on
! should they so desire. And the reason
for this is the fact that Robertsdale and
Whiting have so much in common since
! the Western Glucose company located
on Wolf river. In fact, this industry
is one of the things that Is binding
the two cities more closely together.
1t is but another case where the spirit
of commercialism has won where di-
plomacy failed
The Idea OF an amalgamation day
banquet at the time of the dedication
of the federal building in this city
met with the approval Of Mayor Smith,
who thought it would result in closer
relations between the three cities IL it
did not result in Immediate amalgama-
ton.

WHITING PARADOX
IS EXPLAINED
City Derives it's Misnomer
from Conductor Who Made
Valuable Suggestion.


An interesting story came to. light
yesterday that explains how Whiting,
city characterized by the black
clouds of smoke that rise from the
Standards plant, came by its name.
About sixteen years ago the town
was known as Fields all over Indi-
ana. About that time terrible wreck
occurred on the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern railroad in Whiting. 1t was
due to congested traffic in the vicinity.
There was a terrible loss of life and
the catastrophe became the talk of the
country in good deal the same man
ner as the recent wreck at Woodville.
A conductor by the name of Whit
ing solved the problem of relieving
the congestion by putting in a siding.
The railroad company called 1T Whit
ing siding as q compliment to the man
who had made the suggestion.
While the memory of the wreck was
still fresh in the minds of the people,
spot at which 1t occurred as Whiting
siding and it was not long before peo-
pie dropped the word siding" and
called the whole town Whiting s.
Later the final was dropped.
Conductor Whiting died some time
ago and only a few of the old timers
knew that he was the man who really
was responsible for the name that
Whiting now bears

SEVERE SENTENCE
CAUSES MUCH JOY
Youths Sentenced to Inde-
terminate Terms Jig
When Fate is Learned.

Among the first cases to be disposed
OF in the superior court today were
those of Lewis Freang and the three
Chicago young men who robbed L
Levey's tailor shop one night during
the latter part of January.
Each Of the four men pleaded guilty.
Freang to grand larceny. and the trio
consisting of Jos. Hall. Frank Storts
and Ed Mahoney TO robbery and were
given In indeterminate sentence Of from
two TO fourteen years in the state re-
formatory at Jeffersonville. They were
also disfranchised for ten years and
were given an additional fine Of SO to
pay the court costs.
Freang is a notorious character and
wife deserter having left wife and
child in Decatur, Ind.
Before pronouncing the sentence up
on the three young men from Chicago
the judge lectured them saying he knew
he was giving them a rather severe
sentence but that he had learned
through past experiences that the
courts Ieniency Is generally abused
and that by giving them the severe
sentence he hoped to cure two OF the
prisoners Of the cocaine habit, while
the third one really had something
coming as he had already served time
in the bridewell in Chicago.
Whatever caused their delight at the
sentence IS not known but it was no.

and a Celebration of Some Kind VIII
BE Decided Upon-Citizens To We'll
come Employers.

The work on the Standard steel Car
company's plant has been progressing
so rapidly that the engineers in charge
of the construction are now certain
it will be completed before the middle
of the summer.
w E. Webb, who is the representa-
tive of President Hanson, made the
statement this morning that the plant
would be completed and the first cars
would be manufactured and ready for
delivery July 4. when it is proposed to
have a flag-raising and a big celebra-
tion of some kind.
The Standard steel Car company

than any other one thing, and it is
likely that the citizens of Hammond
will want to welcome the thousands
who are to make their homes in this
city IN some appropriate manner.
