Support Good Plays.

Manager Meredith, of the Grand
Opera House, says 1t is discouraging
to bring the better class of plays on
the larger theatre circuits 70 Salem,
and have them so poorly supported.
He says the outlook for q good sale
of seats for the Ragged Messenger"
tonight is not what II should be. and
that, while Salem people will clamor
for the best plays on the road, they
will not give them the support that
they are entitled to when they come.
Mr.. Meredith has given this city a
very superior class of plays this sea-
son, and there is truth in what he
says A new production by one OF
the most eminent OF American actors
is entitled to a full house.

A. F. KNOTS QUITS
GARY LAND COMPANY
Only Actively, However, as
He is Still Retained
as Counsel.
Rochester Herald.

Public announcement was made this
morning of A. F. Knots severing his
direct connection with the Gary Land
company. He will still be the steel
corporations right hand man in this
neck of the woods, but will be retained
by it more in the capacity which he
likes best, namely that of counsel
rather than the booster of real estate
project. Mr.. Norton of Joliet, has been
placed in the local land office as prop
erty agent and will look after the
selling of the sub divisions which the
land company places on the market
from time to time.
Mr.. Knots will give his Immediate
attention to the erection of the build
ing and organization of the Trust COM
pany in which he will be largely in
terested. 1t is the intention to erect
an inside building for the immediate
needs for the company and have the
larger and better quarters ready for ii
by early tutumn. Mr.. Knots springs
property will also receive more of his
attention now, the first work being to
erect an addition to the house now or

MUST HAVE SO;
WIFE? THAT'S DIFFERENT.
West Hammond Man Vows to Get
Even With BOarder Who Boarded
Not Wisely But Too Well.

Joseph Paczkowski invokes the law
to collect a two weeks board bill from
Frank Start. If Frank Start were
millionaire instead of an ordinary la
borer in the Hammond Glue factory,
Paczkowski might be suing for heavy
damages for the alienation Of his
wife's affections, but having taken an
inventory of the surroundings he has
scaled his anger down to Mr.. Starts
bank roll and will be satisfied If the
gay Lothario kicks in with the feed
bill.
This is West Hammond incident
but one not without human interest.
Hearken to the details.
Mr.. and Mrs. Paczkowski are not in
the same class from any point of view.
Mrs. Paczkowski could not get below
100 without arduous training. while
with mere shave and hair cut Pacz-
kowski can do 135 ringside
Mr.. Starts weight is not given. but
his board bill is offered as an exhibit.
According to the story that leaked out
in Judge Flynn's court this morning,
Mr. Start is the serpent that Mr.. Pacz-
woski has been entertaining unawares
and without price. Mr. Paczowsk al
leges that when he returned home yes
terday he came suddenly upon a con-
dition that should not exist in well
regulated family. Naturally he felt
sore-particularly about the board bill.
He made a pass at Start but his ten
der helpmeet blocked and Mr.. Start
side-stepped through the kitchen. Then
the story continues-the wife in
formed the husband that If he ever
opened his face about the affair there
would be a job for Nick EmmerHng.
Mr.. Paczkowski made good his es-
cape. He told Judge Flynn this morn
ing that he declined to go home be-
cause he did not care to give away so
much weight but that he would get SO
out OF Mr.. Start if he had to take the
case to supreme court.

follows:
President, George H. Mills; clerk,

City Council Votes to Pur-
chase Forty Acres
From Hammond.
BESIDE LAKE GEORGE
Other Improvements VIII Also Be
Made Including Paving of
Business Streets.

The city council of Whiting met last
night and besides authorizing the paw
ing with brick of all the business
streets of the city. determined to buy
forty acres on the shore OF Lake
George If the city OF Hammond can be
persuaded TO cede that amount of ter
ritory for this purpose
The movement for the paving of the
streets OF the city Of Whiting started
at the banquet given by the Improves
ment association and has been gain
ing headway ever since. Last night IL
was decided that 119th street should be
paved from the Fort Wayne tracks TO
Indiana boulevard, New York avenue
from Ohio street to the Chicago June
tion tracks and Scharge avenue from
10th street TO the Manhattan brew
cry.
The proposal TO pave must be adver-
tised for thirty days before the work
can begin and that Is all that IS hold
ing the work back. It is believed that
before fall Whiting will be one Of the
best paved cities in this end Of the
county
Park Problem OF Interest.
A matter that will interest both the
people of Whiting and Hammond is
Writings park problem. For years
the city has been trying to purchase
lake front park. A great deal of
money has been spent in litigation in
an attempt to force the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern TO relinquisn
Its rights TO certain shore lands but
so far the attempt has proved unsuc-
eessful.
/ srba nao-ia ~ xvbitlne ara orovvanss
ltired Of the DELAY aud II has now beeu.
Isuggested that it would be better %
Elet the matter OF a lake front park
drop and see If site cannot be Sc
cured elsewhere
The only other site that seems avail
able is in Hammond territory on tile
shore Of Lake George and soon nego-
tiations will be begun with this city
for the purpose of persuading the city
council to cede forty acres of ground to
Whiting to be paid for by Whiting and
to be used for park purposes
VIII Make Extensive improvements.
The land which is desired lies be-
tween 121st street and Atchison ave-
nue.. The city of Whiting will guaran-
tee to make extensive improvements
on the ground 1T purchases by putting
in 1agoons, swimming pools, bath
houses and pav1lfons and the people
over there point out that as the park
is to be located midway between Whit
ing and Robertsdale, it will do the cit
liens of the fourth ward as much good
as though they were compelled 10 pay
for the expense OF the improvements
and the cost of the caring for the
premises.
The matter has been talked over by
the Hammond councilmen at various
times and 1t is probable that the mat
ter can be arranged II the people of
Hammond can be assured that the
land which Whiting takes into it's ter
ritory will always be used for park
purposes.

LIGHT AND WATER
QUESTION SOLVED
East Chicago Council Ac-
cepts Compromise of
Bondholders.

Acting upon the recommendations of
the advisory board composed of rep
resentative citizens from each ward,
the East Chicago city council last night
accepted the compromise of the bond
holders and passed an ordinance grant
ing the bondholders of the water and
light company the franchise they de-
sired.
The franchise is for twenty years
and is considered a fair one from the
citizens point of view. The ordinance
which was passed will be published in
two of the local papers for thirty days
and then a referendum vote by the peo-
pie will be had and If they approve, the
franchise will be granted.
The step taken last night will end
years of graft and months of effort to
better conditions and provide the means
to fight fires. 1t is the consummation
of the efforts that the councilmen and
the citizens have been making ever
since the present city administration
came into power to give the city bet
ter water and light service.
AS soon as the ordinance receives
the approval of the people, the work of
rehabilitating the old plant will begin
and with this question, the most vex-
atious that has ever confronted the
people of East Chicago, settled. the
people of the twin cities" will look
forward to a new era.
In addition to disposing Of the water
and light question and putting it up to
the people the city council estab-
lished a prohibition district in Indiana
Harbor.
Other business Of minor Importance
was transacted.
