MUCH SUFFERING
FROM HUMID HEAT
One Prostration Reported
Yesterday, but Shifting
Wind Brings Relief.

While yesterday may not have been
as hot as some days this season, there
was so much humidity in the atmos-
phere that the suffering among some
Of the residents of the city was in
tense.
This was especially true in the dis
tricts where there are no trees or
other protection from the hot, burning
sun. While there was much suffering
there was but one heat prostration re-
ported and this was in West Hammond
in Hirsch-Stein & Co.'S plant. where a
Pole is reported to have been over
come with the heat
1t was not until late in the evening
that relief came from the oppressive
heat when the wind shifted around to
the north and the cooling lake breezes
prevailed.
Today the worst of the hot spell
seems TO be over and a days respite
from the heat will give the whole
population of the city a chance to re-
cuperate.
One effect Of the hot spell has been
to fill the average person with a long
ing for the pleasures of northern
Michigan or northern Wisconsin sum
mer resort life. and there is an in
creasingly large number of Hammond
ties who are packing their trunks and
leaving Tor the popular watering
places in this vicinity.

HOLDUP MEN OR
PLAIN ROWDIES? 5?
Supposed Street Car Band
its Create Disturbance and
Two Are Arrested.

What is supposed to have been an
attempted holdup occurred last night
on the Hammond, Whiting & East
Chicago railway. As a car in charge
OF Conductor d. G. Peters was entering
East Chicago it was boarded by five
desperate looking characters. The
men had boarded the car at One
Hundred and Forty-ninth street, and
said they were going to South Chicago.
When Conductor Peters came around
to collect their fares they refused. say
ing that they were privileged charac-
ters on the street car line and If the
conductor didn't like it he could start
something. At this stage Of the game
Motorman Lyons arrived on the scene.
and between the two men they man
aged to stand pat against the bunch
OF supposed holdup men until Officers
Shields and Kula had reached the car.
The officers jumped on the car and
without asking any questions arrested
two OF the men, Edward Ames and
Martin Walsh. The other three Jump
ed off the car and made their escape,
although they We're chased for several
blocks by the officers and several
shots were exchanged.
The shooting attracted attention and
within a few minutes the main street
of East Chicago was crowded with
citizens, all eager to learn the details
of the affair.
The two men who were arrested con
tinued calling the conductor Of the car
and the police vile names until they
were safely locked up in the East Chi
cago police station, when they became
more quiet and after the doors had
closed and the bolts had gone back
with the same old noise, the two thugs
were more like lambs than desperadoes.
When the supposed holdup men
boarded the car at One Hundred and
Forty ninth street there We're two wo-
men passengers on the car, Mrs. Will
liam Thomas Of whiting, and Mrs II.
Cross Of Robertsdale. Mrs. Cross re-
fused 10 submit to the language the
men were using, and picking up her
umbrella made her way across the car
and with all the force at her COM
mand slammed one of the men over the
head and by the way the fellow howl
ed IL must have hurt.
In the arrest of the two men last
night many people are of the belief
that the gang of holdup men who have
been terrifying residents of the Calu-
met region has been broken UP or will
be broken up If the other three men
who made their getaway can be cap
tured

TOO MANY STEP.
PARENTS FOR ELMER
Family Trouble Mixed Wit;
Religion Drives Boy
Out Into World.

Little Elmer NanosdoIe the 14-year-
old boy who ran away from his moth
er in Chicago July is still at the
police station in this city and the par
ents have made no effort to reclaim
him. The lad Is one of the brightest
boys in Hammond. and the police are
trying TO obtain a home for him in
case his parents do not send for him.
The case is pathetic one. the boys
father and mother having separated
because OF a difference of religion.
The mother is a firm follower Of the
Dowie religion, and it was because OF
this that the separation occurred The
once happy home has been split in
two and the little boy feels that he Is
an outcast. as he is old enough to feel
the disgrace forced upon him and he
does not feel as his mother does about
her religion.
The family formerly lived In Evans
Vile. Ind. and after the divorce was
obtained the mother came to Chicago
and left the boy with his father The
father remarked and the son went to
live with his mother as be did not en-
JOY a stepmother. and he had no soon
er got settled with his mother than
she remarked and he got a step father.
That settled it with the boy and no
ran away to return TO his father. and
he got as far as Hammond. The faith
er was notified of the presence OF tho
boy here but he failed to respond.
Now the boy wants TO find work here
and hopes TO find a suitable home.

BOILER MAKERS
SETTLE STRIKE
Employees of South Chicago
Shipyards VIII Return
to Work Monday.
Especial to Lake County Times.y

South Chicago, July 6.-The big
strike of the boilerma xers at the ship
yards is now settled. A committee OF
the union men met the officials of tie
company and Informed them that they
would go back to work Monday.
The union men We're forced to con-
cede their point which was the organi-
cation of a union of the ship builders
Of the great lakes. They claim, how
ever, that their abandoning of the
plan was necessitated by the failure
of the union men in the other yards
to stick to the strike, and most all of
them went back to work last week
The local men held out to the last,
however. and would not give in until
they saw that they were deserted by
those in all of the other concerns.
superintendent Smith OF the local
shipyards stated this morning that he
would give all of the strikers employ
ment that he could use and that there
would be no discrimination shown.
There are about fifteen hundred men
affected and their enthusiasm was
great when it was announced that the
strike which had lasted over ten weeks
had been settled.
The relations between the employers
and the strikers are now as friendly
as ever, and it IS thought that the mat
ter will soon be forgotten. and the
department will be in full running
order Monday.
Both parties in the controversy
stated that if it had been necessary
they could have held out for an in
definite period. The union men still
have plenty of money in the treasury
and the company would not have ac-
ceded to their demands under any con-
sideration.

SOUTH DEERING
TO Be IMPROVED
Town Will Be Practically
Remodeled and Sanitary
Conditions Perfected.
Especial to Lake County rimes.)

South Chicago, July .6@The town of
South Deering is to be practically re-
modelled. The work of improving the
sanitary conditions. the transportation
facilities and establishing a desirable
residence district has been assumed
by over half the business men of the
city who have organized themselves
into a society for that purpose. which
is known as the South Deering I'm
provement association.
The purpose of this is not mer-
cenary one, although it is known
club in making the town a more de-
sirable place to live, will greatly in
crease the value OF both residence and
business property. This will have a
tendency one of the officers said this
morning to eliminate the undesirable
element from this section of the coun-
try and viii be inducive to number of
the "desireables" to reside in the city
in which they are employed rather
than TO seek a home in neighboring
cities as a great many of them are
compelled to do at the present time.
The organization is composed of
about two hundred members at the
present time who are prominent in the
business and social circles of the town.
The officers of the association are Sam
Kresswell, president; J. b. Price. sec
retary and the meetings are held the
second Thursday of every month.
One of the first steps which they
took in the Improvement of the city
was the provision for proper drain
age facilities and the laying of a new
sewer adequate to the present needs Of
the city They were so successful in
their efforts in this direction that they
will soon have splendid sewer system
which will be an extension Of the one
in South Chicago now in process OF
construction. Much valua BILE property
heretofore covered with water and
consequently worthless will be re-
claimed and will be an immense bene-
fit to the city in the way Of looks and
health. Citizens who have previously
Uttered the streets and alleys with
waste and garbage will be prosecuted
If they do not make some provision
for its disposal.
The South Chicago city railway com
pany viii be brought TO terms If posi-
BILE and if not they will secure a com
petitor either in the form of another
street railway or a steam road.
