RAIN IN PLENTY
Pedestrians Found No Scarcity
 of Water To-Day.

The board of public works made a
 serious mistake in not starting to
 declaim about the scarcity of water
 earlier in the season They went at
 1t last night with vengeance and
 made such a racket they must have
 shook the elements for shortly after
 the meeting closed rain came down in
 torrents and the commissioners were
 soaked on the way home. The rain
 was accompanied by sharp flashes of
 lightning and loud peals of thunder. The precipitation during the night
 was nearly a quarter of an inch and the weather prophets don't know how much will fall before it ceases. It fairly poured at times to-day and folks about the streets, even those who carried umbrellas have not got such a soaking in years. Nelson J. Welton considered it a nice rain and while he was not prepared to say it would last long, he was free to state that it relieved the water board from any trouble enforcing the sprinkling resolution passed last night for the present at least. The storm was welcomed everywhere, es- farmers and others in the suburban districts where wells, streams and every other source of water had practically given out. No doubt this had something to do in the recent action taken by the Milk mems association regarding the ad- vance in the price of milk. The cows didn't give the usual quantity of milk and there was no water in, the pumps to make up the deficit and as a last resort in order to make ends meet it was voted to tack a cent onto the price. Nobody can blame them, put everybody expects that after this beautiful rain the price will be put pack where it was before the drought. |

WALKERS ATTITUDE
Very Disappointing 10 John Hen. derson on Clark Street Matter.

Editor of the Evening Democrat:
 Dear Sir: the Brooklyn district l there Is considerable opposition to the | re. election of Thomas B. Walker to the board of aldermen. His attitude
 on the matter of Clark street exten- sion has been very disappointing, and
 1t has brought to our remembrance what his attitude was eleven years ago in regard to the same matter. At
 that time some very important i'm
 provements were made by the city on Washington avenue, from a point near the top of the hill downward. When Clark stree was reached 1t was found that there was something wrong with the grade. The engineer after Investigating reported, verbally, to the board of public works that we had good ground for our contention. As it would cost the city large sum of money to correct the blunder it had made and the grade would be still excessively steep, petition to be presented to the board of aldermen was drawn up asking them to try to find an easier way for getting up the hill before spending any money on it.
 MT Walker refused to sign the peti- tion. He said he was satisfied with things as they were. When asked whether it was the avenue as it was, at false grade, or the established grade for it on the city's records with which he was satisfied he would not answer. Seeing that the one did not conform to the other he could not. have been satisfied with both. After nearly two hours talk he ended as he began by saying that he was satisfied with things as they were and wanted no change to be made.
 Yours truly,
 JOHN HENDERSON, JR.

ALL FALL FOR 4
PALPABLE FAKE
Syndicate Puts One Over
on a Number Of Guile
less Chicago Papers.

The Chicago morning papers "fell'
for the story that was offered by a
Chicago syndicate to THE LAKE COUNTY
TIMES last Saturday, and refused by
THE TIMES, and many of them printed
the fairy tale about a ten billion dollar
system of harbors, under big heads.
According to their story a syndicate
of eastern and western capitalists had
formed a syndicate to develope the har-
bors of Lake county
President Burlington OF the Illinois
Steel corporation who would certainly
know Of such plan if there was one
in contemplation, was interviewed over
the phone by a LAKE COUNTY TINES re-
porter this mornoing and said that he
has read the account of the proposed
narbot development n the Chicago pa
pers this morning but did not take
any stock IN the report.
Mr. Burlington Gid say that the agi-
tation for lake to the gulf canal
had interested the officials of The
United states steel corporation great
", however, AMI had called their at
tention to the possibilities of the devel-
opment of the water ways between
Gary and South Chicago.
However, Mr.. Burlington said he
believed the United States Steel cor
poration would make an appeal either
to the state government of Indiana OF
to the federal authorities to make a y
propriations and that it was out of the
question for any syndicate to beal the
expense of such improvements.

ANGRY PASSENGER
SEEKS VENGEANCE
Hurls Stone at Head Of Mo
torman- Narrowly Misses
Car Inmates.

In fit of anger at the action of a
motorman and conductor on a Ham
mond q Whiting car yesterday, and
wishing to serve them with a just re-
tribution, Andras Burger hurled a stone
at their heads, but missed his aim and
the missile crashed through one of the
windows, narrowly missing several
passengers. His action brought him
more trouble IN the shape of arrest and
after the doings were hehearsed be-
fore Judge Mcmahon this morning, he
dug down for SIS TO pay for his ex-
hibition of temper.
Burger got on the car at Hammond
and says that when he asked the con-
ductor if the car went to Sixty third
street, he was told that it did.
Learns of His Mistake.
After travelling a few minutes he
saw that the landscape did not seem
familiar and he inquired a second time.
Then he was told that he had boarded
the wrong car so he applied for a
transfer. This favor was refused by
the conductor and Burger made known
in no uncertain terms that he was
aroused over the way he had been
handled by the company, and for his
remarks he was told by the crew to
take TO the tall timbers
When he objected he says that the
mortorman came at him with his con-
troller handle and seeing that he was
out numbered he backed away. His
foot struck an obstacle and it gave him
an idea. He picked up a good sized
stone and taking good aim thew it at
the head of the offending motorman
His aim was bad, however. and the
stone crashed through the window OF
the car, while the occupants ducked
under the seats for safety. officer
Einsele came upon the scene at this
time and Burger was escorted back to
Hammond where he was locked up. He
will now hold himself in better con-
troll. although he says that conductors
of street cars would wear out the pa
tience of Job.

REFEREE BOWERS
RESIGNS HIS JOB
More Money in Law and
Real Estate so He
Will Quit.

Referee in Bankruptcy John o. Bow
ers has decided to hand in his resig-
nation to Judge A. B. Anderson and an
other referee will have to be appointed
in his place.
Mr.. Bowers has become quite extern
sively interested in Gary and Toleston
lands and as he was one of the few to
get in on the ground floor he is said to
have made considerable money.
Mr. Bowers reasons for resigning are
that his business and legal interests
are now so great that he can not af-
ford to devote the time TO the office that
it requires. He is of the opinion that
there is so much more money to be
made dabbling in real estate that ht
has decided to devote all of his -ime
to his operations along this line and
TO the practice of law.
The resignation has not yet beer
handed in but probably VIII be in tht
near future and Judge Anderson wil
have to appoint his successor. Their,
/ is no salary attached to the Office o.
referee in bankruptcy but there ar,
1 fees and commission when there ar,
assets to be divided among the credi
4 tors.

To PRISON FOR .
SMALL THEFT
Man Convicted Of Stealing
Peck of Apples Suffers
Hard Penalty.
CASE IS MOST PITIFUL
Example of Justice as She is Ad-
ministered" in Imperial State
of Indiana.

One of the most pathetic sights ever
witnessed in the streets of Hammond
caused passersby to turn away with
tears in their eyes, as they saw an old
man. 5S years of age, gray haired and
gray bearded, bowed with shame hand
cuffed TO another prisoner bound on
his way over the road to serve from
one to. eight years in the state peni-
tertiary for petit larceny. The man
was almost overcome by his sorrow and
as he ambled along, trying to keep up
with his comrade in misery, to whom
to was linked, he tried his best to
hide away from the plying eyes of the
people.
The man was Frank McCauley of
Crown Point, and he was being taken
to the state prison at Michigan City
by Sheriff Fred Carter, together with
George Whitaker from this city. Nc
Cauley was convicted of petit larceny
at Crown Point and sentenced to serve
from one to eight years for stealing
peck OF apples. valued at perhaps so
cents. His leaving Crown Point was
not without most bitter pangs, as he
leaves behind him a loving family who
were depending on him for support.
and while he is away the terrible
thoughts of perhaps starvation and the
poor house for his loved ones starin g
him in the face In the meantime for
his crime of stealing a few apples he
must be thrown into the company of
crooks and t-throats. As he passed
through the streets his wasted form
shivered in the cold breeze as he wore
but scanty clothing and his feet were
clad only in q pair of old carpet slip
pers.
The story Of the old mans downfall
is said to point towards bad COM
pany, and the trip to the prison may
mean the last one he will ever take.

nous verdict OF all visitors. 1t is true
that those who came the first few days
of the exposition found things is an

hibits, beautiful buildings, a grand pa
rade, a memorable speech by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and a view Of a great
squadron of ships of all nations, sur
passing anything ever before witness
ed in the world. Hampered by unpar-
alleled bad weather, inadequate trans
portation facilities and other obstacles.
the exposition stands now in a state Of
comparative completion, and every
promise Of the program has been full
filled to the letter. The transportation
question has been satisfactorily settled,
and there is no longer any congestion

HOW HAMMOND WON
EAGLES CONVENTION
Sprung as Dark Horse When
Deadlock Was Imminent
Sponsor Surprised.

when 1 went to the Eagles conven-
tion at South Bend, 1 had no more in
tention to urge the claims of Hammond
as the proper place to hold the next
annual state convention Of the order
than I had to run for the vice presi
dency Of the United States said David
E. Boone this morning. I had no in
structions from the Hammond aerie
which I helped to represent to make
any attempt to secure the convention,
and 1 don't know what the brother
birds will say to me when we hold our
next meeting. 1 am sure, however,
that now we've got it, we will all jump
in and prepare to give the visiting
Eagles the time Of their lives. We
have a whole year to prepare. In that
time we will be able to fulfill every
promise.
'I went after the honor more in a
spirit of good natured retaliation than
from any other motive. West Baden
was there with barrel of buttons and
miles of ribbon to urge its claims as
the logical scenes of the next annual
meeting. Evansville had similar deco
rations to fasten on the unwary or
friendly delegates. Indianapolis had a
powerful lobby and a good line of argu-
ment as to the superiority of Its ho-
tells, points of interest and one thing
or another. Fort Wayne and Tcrre
Haute were not asleep.
1T looked like a poor chance for lit
tie old Hammond in the face Of that ar
ray even if we had fitted out an ex-
petition to go out and capture the
prize When II looked like a deadlock

DIVE CASES GO
OVER UNTIL FRIDAY
Peter Max Shows He's Good
Fellow by Renewing
Culprits Bonds.

With the West Hammond village hall
packed TO the full seating capacity this
morning the cases against Lewis Bax-
ter and five inmates of his dive, the
Nonpariel, were called before Justice
Flynn.
Robert McAIeer. attorney for Baxter,
asked for a continuance until Friday
on the grounds that he had not been
given sufficient time to secure the evil
dence to defend Baxter and the in
mates. Justice Flynn without debating
the matter granted him the continu-
ance.
AS the old bonds signed by Peter
Max expired today, new ones were
made out and signed by Peter. When
asked If he was not afraid the girls
might make their escape he said:
Well, If they do that is all right, I
want to show them that I am their
friend"
Whether or not the Nonpariel will
continue to run until Friday is prob
lematical. If they do attempt to run
the police say the place will be raid
ed again and the inmates arrested
Joseph Harrington. who owns the
Nestibule. Silver Dollar and No. 20 on
West State street went to Chicago this
morning where he will appear for trial
in the criminal court before Judge
Cavanaugh, charged with running
houses of i'll fame on evidence secured
by two plain clothes men who were in
West Hammond several nights last
week getting evidence against him.
1t will go pretty hard with Harring-
ton as he has several indictments now
pending against him in the Cook coun-
ty courts and it is expected that he
will be given the limit when the judge
renders his decision.
/ The plain clothes men were out from
/ Chicago last night going over the vii
| lage, but whether or not they collected
/ any evidence is not known.
