The Interstate Automatic Telephone
company was awarded by the Whiting
city council, what Mayor Smith believes
to be one of the most liberal telephone
franchises that has ever been granted
by municipality.
Last night the East Chicago city
council passed a similar franchise to
the second reading and those who have
been watching the fight between the
Independent and the Bell Telephone
companies in this region, are fully
aware of the significance of the en-
trance into this field of a new COM
pany and the beginning of the era Of
two-phone system.
The failure of the Chicago Telephone
company to retain control is said to
be due to the fact that in Whiting
this company has not installed the
most up-to-date instruments and has
failed o protect their rights by giving
the people a modern service" is the
fay Mayor Smith puts it.
The franchise which was awarded
last night is said to be a wonder. 1t
provides that there shall be no charge
for phones until there shall have been
800 installed and then the charge will
be SIS year. where the Chicago COM
pany charges s24 for business phone.
The cost of residence phone will
be but So a year while the Chicago
company charges SIS. The toll to
South Chicago, Hammond Gary and
Indiana Harbor will be Ave cents and
the toll TO Cnicagos VIII. hes buf ten
cents
Mayor Smith says when he examined
the old Chicago Telephone franchise
and found that it was perpetual and
that there was no limit to the charges
for service, he and the council mem
bers became convinced that the thing
to do was to grant the Independents a
franchise.
bond of $4,000 was fled and this is
to be forfeited if the service is not In
stalled inside of eighteen months.

TAIN EMIL BUNDE."

The police department of the city of
Hammond made some remarkable dis
ocevries in the Standard Steel Car dis
trict yesterday and the terrible tales
of destitution and need that have been
current for some time, present an en-
tirely different phase to the authori-
ties.
For some time Trustee Schaaf has
been besieged with applications for
help from foreigners in the Standard
Steel Car district. The pleas came in
tens and twenties until the authorities
were swamped and deluged.
Trustee Schaaf then decided to call
upon the police for aid in doing a little
detective work and Chief Rimbach's s
sleuths uncovered a remarkable state.
Out of fifteen cases which had been
reported as destitute, Captain Bunde
and his men found but two who were
really in need of help. In one case a
woman whose destitution was repre-
sented as pitiable was found to have a
roll of money big enough to choke a
Newfoundland dog. She said when
quizzed by the police, We'll I have
money, but the old country is poor and
needs money, have to get some to
send there
Another woman who said she was
starving was found to have two houses.
one in which she lived and the other
was renting for s27 per month.
Other cases were found to be nearly
the same and when application is made
to Mr.. Schaaf hence forth, from the
Standard Steel Car district, a grain of
salt will be used in considering the
story.
The same stories of greed and impo-
sition on the township authorities come
from Indiana Harbor and East Chicago

CITIZENS WANT PARK
BETWEEN ERIE AND MONON
Board of Public Works Should Force
Railroads to Get Busy.

Many citizens of Hammond who are
praising THE TIMES stand for beautify-
ing the city, call attention to the fact
that the Monon and Erie railroads
should do something toward beautify-
ing the stretch of right-of-way they
own in Hammond.
The Michigan Central and the Nick Ell
Plate both arranging to make parks
out of the realty they own, and prom
inent Hammond taxpayers say that all
railroads should be treated alike They
would like to see the board of public
works take action.

the committee is altogether too large to
try to enumerate all its members, but it
includes most of the substantial men in
town and the clubs as we'll. The
Boosters Commercial and the Calumet
Commercial have been asked to aid and
IL is likely these will appoint commit
tees to act for them in conjunction
with the committee Of individual citi-
zens.
Poor of Pauper Class.
'"The poor of Indiana Harbor are
out of the pauper class. What they
want most of all is work My idea is
to get the members of the committee
interested in finding jobs for the men,
anywhere within the limits of Indiana"
Single men will be given orders for
81 each, while families will be treated
according to their needs Some of the
families where want is the most ap-
parent have from four to eleven chill
dren, all in a more or less starving
condition.
