EMPLOYEES OF CAR
WORKS MUST WALK
Company Refuses to Run
Buses Any Longer
Trains Not Running.

The employees of the Standard Steel
Car company are still suffering from
the lack of transportation faclhties
to and from their work. The number
of employees is increasing every day
and the busses that We're formerly used
to transfer the engineers and survey
ors back and forth, are aldeady in
adequate.
AS a result there was considerable
dissatisfaction among those who had
to walk the two and one-half miles to
work and it was finally decided to
abandon the buss service altogether.
1t was errinousiy reported that
some of the engineers on the work of
construction had quit for this reason
but according to the officials Of the
company this is not true and the men
who have left the employ of the COM
pany did so for personal reasons
They have convinced the men Of the
futility of the company's attempting
at transport all of the men to the plant
in busses and have promised them
that in a few days there will be a
suburban service on the Nickel Plate
between Hammond and Standard, the
new station on this railroad.
There will be trains enough to ac-
commodate all of the men and later
ments will be made with one of the
street car companies for a ten minute
service to and from the plant.

FAULKNER BILL
PASSED IN HOUSE
Vote of IS to Il Indicates
Sentiment Favors Com
pensation Feature.

The Faulkner bill compelling the
United States Steel corporation and
others who fill in the lake to pay the
state one-ffth of the appraised vaIua-
ton of contiguous shore land, passed
the house yesterday by a vote of 70
to IA
This action developes the fact that
there is considerable opposition to the
Bowser bill in the house and there may
be a deadlock over it before a settle
ment is reached.
Mr. Faulkner did not support the bill,
but Mr.. Honan, the minority leader did.
Mr. Honan declared that the steel
trust dumped it's Stag in the lake be-
cause it would have to pay for any
other dumping ground and that after
two miles or more had been dumped in,
the company would move its plant to
the new grounds and sell it's former
site for lots
Mr. Dwyer of Lake county said that
the Bowser senate bill would permit
the company to take possession of the
land, so created without going through
the red tape that would be caused II
the Faulkner measure carries. He also
declared that if the United States
steel corporation did not dump its Stag
and make the land none would be made
and the state would receive no compen-
sation anyway.
The passing Of the Faulkner bill by
the house is likely to cOmpHcate mat
ters cons iderably as the Bowser meas
ure has already carried in the senate
and good deal of time may be spent
in conference before a bill will be de-
cided upon that will pass both houses
and be acceptable to all parties con-
cerned.
The Bowser bill provides for the re
claiming of submerged land from the
lake. at the will of the owners of
riparian rights, and without any re-
remuneration to the state.

EIGHT CHILDREN;
EARNS $3.50 PER DAY
Truant Officer Muzzal, In
Discharge of His Duty,
Meets Pathetic Case.

Yes, it Is hard for me at times to
keep the letter and the spirit of the
law part was a stas cement that Thos.
Muzzan. truant officer for Lake county
made this morning in Hammond while
on hts way to East Chicago Mr.. NIuz-
zaIl went to East Chicago this morn
ing to confer with that city's board Of
education in regard to the condition Of
affairs in the Saybo family. There are
eight children in the family and all are
compelled to stay away from school on
account of a lack of wearing apparel.
1t was called to the truant officers at
tention that the children were miss
ing from school and Mr.. Muzzau made
inquiry.
Few people" said the truant officer,
! get an opportunity to see the inside
conditions OF so many homes as I do.
1t doesn't seem fair that the private
affairs Of any family, as for instance,
this Saybo family be given to the
public Nobody knows what suffering
there is at times by father and mother
in order to give their children an edu-
cation But sometimes the current
goes against them and they are COM

their children in order to enable them
to go to school.
Aside from the poverty that the
family is suffering the story of the
Saybo's is unusually pitiful as both
father and mother are trying hard to
work for their children. But the faith
er is only able to earn $3.50 a day and
from this small sum he must pay $11
rent per month, and clothe and feed
eight children. his wife and himself.
The Oldest child is a girl 13 years old.
and she and her younger sisters are said
to have only one calico dress each and
that is all.
Mr.. Muzzall will procure an order
from the East Chicago school board
to visit stores where he can procure
the necessary clothing for the children
and thus enable them to attend school.

Ripe FINDS RAISED BILL:
MERCHANT IMPOSED UPON.
A Two is Transferred into n Ten But
the Job is Poor One and Bank EN-
pIOyes Readily Discover Fraud.

Owing to the alertness Of William
Ripe, the head bOokkeeper in the
First National bank in this city, a $40
bill which had been raised from So
bill was detected and one Of the Ham
mond business men win be out just
$40.
The figure two which is usually
placed in the four corners of the 81
bill that was raised were carefully
erased and in their places a Il" and
an 20" were picked out with a pin.
over another two which was placed at
one end of the bill was a red X in imi-
tation of the $40 bill that was imi-
tated.
The job was far from being clever
and the fact alone that there was a
picture of George Washington on this
bill while 1t never appears on a SIC
bill was enough to show that it was
not genuine.
The bill was probably accepted
through the carelessness of one Of the
employees of the man who will be the
loser and it would be difficult TO learn

and everything that an up to date club
OF its character requires to make 1t
cozy and at tho same time practicable
When the idea was first introduced
under Mrs. MeikIe's sponsorship to the
members of the board in executive
session, it was greeted with the
squeamishnesa that Is usually vouch-
safed to movements involving great re-
sponsibility and liberal expediture
of money The women present all ad-
mitted that it would be lovely to have
a clubhouse of their own. but they
were a bit shy OF undertaking a step
OF such Importance. However, they
soon warmed up to the situation and
at the next regular club meeting a
resolution providing for the undertake
ing was proposed and carried Since
then great deal of stock has been
subscribed and while the exact amount
of money raised could not be learned.
4 * IS admitted that there is practically
enough subscribed and in sight to
build the clubhouse, leaving the lot out
OF consideration.

Now here is an opportunity for the
gallantry of Hammond's wealthy men

The club has $50 members and en-

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 3l-From the
attitude of the house on the bill abol-
ishing the Metropolitan police boards
yesterday. it looks as If the house was
determined for home rule in local po-
lice matters.
This BILL introduced by Representa-
tive Mccullough of Anderson. provides.
in brief, that the power TO appoint the
police commissioners shall rest in the
hands of the mayor and not in the
hands Of the governor. The bill came
up on a majority committee report
against 1t, and a minority report IA
voring the indefinite postponement of
the bill went down to ignominious de-
feat by the vote Of SO to a. Among
those who voted in favor of the bill
(and against the present system) were
Representative RatliT OF Wayne coun-
ty; and Representatives Dwyer and
Simon of Lake county. These three
registered their protests against the
police control by the governor instead
of by local authorities. Stultz of
Huntington county did not vote on the
measure.
The general sentiment seems to be
that the house will pass this bill. Also
that the senate will Kill it. The fact
that the house passed it to engross-
ment yesterday morning was the sub
ject of much comment in the senate in
the afternoon, and from the express
sions heard there. 1T seemed that the
senate did not look with favor on the
proposal to abolish the present system
Withdraw Opposition.
Good authority stands for the state
ment today, that the Indiana insurance
companies-at least some of the larger
lcompanies-have given up, the f1ght
against the passage of the Babcock biz
creating a new insurance department
and will eonfne their efforts of the
future towards the modification OF thai
bill. That this would be the position
of the larger Indiana companies from
now on was admitted by representa-
tives Of three of the companies today
If this is true, it is perhaps not un-
wise to venture the prediction that the
/ Babcock bill will pass, after some
changes have been made. Two or three
changes of comparatively minor i'm
portance have been agreed upon By
the members of the joint committee
and others were considered at an ex
ecutive session of the joint committee!
last night.
SO far as can be ascertained. now
however, one point that the companies
have been cOntending against Will no
obtain. Representatives of the differ
ent Indiana companies that have spokel
against the bill have specialized on on
point particularly as the appointmen
Of an insurance commissioner by tn
governor. The plan now, so far as cal
be learned, is for the committee to ad
here to the provisions Of the origina
bill in this particular, and leave TIL
appointment of this commissioner IL
the governors hands. Another publ
hearing will probably be arranged for
this to be the last of the public hear
ings.

HAD PERMoNITION OF DEATH

J. w Cummings. one of the oldest
engineers on the Lake Shore road and
well known on this division, died last
Tuesday evening at Elkhart. It is said
bv those who have known him that he
has had a premonition of his sudden
death since about year ago Captain
Cummings was stricken with apoplexy
while IN the Lake Shore roundhouse
and died within few minutes. He
was a member Of the famous Irish
regiment of the civil war and was a
railroad man Of nearly forty years.
