Men at Hammond's S New Car
Works Ask About Street
Car Service.
Mr.. CAMERON EXPLAINS
Delays Caused By Erie Railroad and
and Inability to Get
Switch Rails.

In answer to a very pertinent inquiry
by some Of the officials and employees
of the Standard Steel Car company re-
garding the delay in opening traffic on
the line which is being built from the
Conkey plant to the new plant OF this
company, President Cameron of the
local street railway said that every
effort was being made by the company
TO complete this extension as soon as
possible.
NJ. Cameron said that there had been
innumerable delays that We're unavoid-
able but that every effort would now
be made to complete the line and make
the extension.
He pointed to the delay that had been
caused by the refusal of the Erie rail-
road to permit the crossing of their
tracks and also to the difficulties that
had been encountered in getting the
rails from switches, etc.
Mr.. Cameron also intimated that he
was trying to secure a better location
for the terminus of his line. The en-
trance 20 the plant he understands is to
be on the Nickel Plate railroad on the
north side of the factory site and it
is his purpose If possible to run a line
as near this entrance as possible
The ofhcials and employees Of the
Standard steel car company have lost
faith in the local street railway COM
pany.
Several months ago they asked for
franchise extension from the stub
end Of their line on Conkey avenue to
Columbia avenue. I'm getting these
concessions" say the Standard officials

Importance of providing the employees
of that company with facilities for
reaching Hammond"
It was this sort of pressure that was
brought to bear that impeled a reIuc-
tant council to finally grant the con-
cessions and the franchise. Promises
were made that the service was to be
installed at once and the Standard
officials looked forward to a solution
of their transportation difficulties
"A good start was made say these
officials. and then all at once the bot
tom seemed to drop out of their gooC
intentions. The work was allowed
to drag and on one excuse or another
the construction was delayed"
The rails were put down on the ties
but nothing was done to improve the
roadbed The excuse offered was that
the Erie railroad would not permit the
crossing or their tracks but the fac
still remained that ali the work wa:
dropped when there was still much t
be done on the roadbed between tn,
Erie tracks and the terminus of the
line at Columbia avenue, before tn,
cars could begin running.
Finally the Erie crossing was put ii

and the line is still far from being opeI
to traffic.

First Six Candidates Have
Made Big Strides
Forward.
SUCCESS LOOMS LARGE
At End of Two Weeks Leaders Will
Be Fairly Secure in Their
Positions.

The center OF activity in THE LAKE
COUNTY TINES jamestown contest is
now in Hammond and the race here is
hot one. All OF the first six candi-
dates have made big increases and the
fight for positions is going on merrily.
The fact that five candidates are 10
be sent out from this city is the thing
that is squirting them on, for it is ap-
parent that with a little work and
the help of friends any OF the girls
stands a good chance of making the
trip.
Jamestown looms up bigger than ever
as the end Of the contest approaches
and in a few more short weeks the
winners will be picked and the young
women will be off on the greatest trip
of the season.
jamestown with all'its beautiful sur
roundings and a chance to see the fair
will be theirs and all of the expenses
of the trip will be paid. 1t is pros
pect worth striving for and the revival
of interest that has been shown in the
past few days is proof of the fact that
the young ladies appreciate the liberal
ity Of the offer.
1t would be tiresome to review the
/ progress that edtn OF tue SaAdluatta
/ is making, but a perusal Of the list
will show that there have been many
| large increases in the number of votes
cast and in some cases the positions
of the contestants in the race has
| changed.
There are expected to be many
changes in position and a large in
crease in the votes cast during th'
coming two weeks and by the end o
this period of time the leaders Will b.
fairly secure in their positions.
The fair was never more attractiv
than it is now and the Hammond con
testants will take the trip just at tn
right time. They will be there durini
the summer months when the weathe
is the best and at a time when the fai
is old enough to have finished appear

the First church and one of the leaders
TIMES reporter this morning that he
was in favor of allowing the children
to see the places and in that way be
warned of the pitfalls. He stated that
the reports in some of the morning
papers were garbled and untrue and
that there were not many children
leading the parade. He said that there
We're two small girls accompanying
dressed in white He stated that he
did believe that if the inmates of those
dives and the people who patronized
them had been shown the pitfalls be-
fore they entered them, they would not
now be doing business. He went on to
say that with his wife and the Rev
Bell he had talked with a number of
them, and said that he blamed the
mothers of the inmates for not al
lowing their daughters to see the places
and in that way avoid the dangers.
Mrs. Mohney who was present with
her husband takes a decidedly opposite
stand in the matter and believes that
it was an outrage to allow the children
and young women to witness the sights
in the vice dens visited last evening.
She said that the mothers of the chill
dren were to blame for bringing them
along. and that she would never had al
lowed any children of hers to witness
the sights Other members of the bri-
gade took opposite sides in the matter
and trouble may ultimately result

Mesdames Wesley Clark, l. N. Van Nuys,

Charming women in beautiful gowns,
gallant escorts, good music and one of
the best floors in the city all combined
with an especially happy decorative de-
sign to make the scene one of unusual
brilliance Miss Forman had arranged
an open canopy of asparagus ferns that
sprung from the center of the dome to
the sides of the room, each of the many
festoons being strung with electric lights
that were shaded with Japanese Ian
terms, while others pendant from the
outer circle of the dome swung to and
fro with each current of air. Chrysan-
themum shades were over the lights i'll
the wall brackets, and above each of
the big mirrors and on the balcony
front was massed plumes of pampas
grass, bamboo and cat tails. The or
chestra station was screened with bam-
boo, and here hidden by the greenery,

for dancing
In the dining room below Christopher
served nearly 300 guests at the small
tables. An overhead decoration of as
paragus ferns corresponded with the cam
opy in the bail room and with the pro-
sale pillars transformed into stately palm
trees, gave tn effect of a forest with
moss-hung trees.
