Gently an interview which one of its
reporters had with MIR. Eager about
his talk with the emperor. A trans
lation Of this interview is as follows:
AS we already announced, Mr..
Eager, the American consul here, had
tho honor at a visit to the Berlin
American embassy of having an cX-
tended interview Consul Eager was
very entertaining and agreeable and
told of many facts in an interview yes-
tcrday forenoon The emperor ex-
hihIteq, according to Mr.. lGagcr's ycr-
sion, a lively interest In local matters
For example he inquired whether Mr.
Eager had been In Barmcn before he
opened the hall of glory. He further
inquired for our mayor and spoke
very appreCiativcly about his person.
al traits and capacities, Tho cmper-
or also mentioned the mayor of El-
horfold and exhibited generally good
memory Of his former visit. He then
inquired whether the Schwehebnhn
proved successful, When Mr. Eager
affirmed this the emperor referred to
the experiment section of a SchWche-
balm built in Berlin and expressed the
opinion that in Berlin the columns in
the streets would dsttrbb travel and
as a whole it would not work woil
from an architectural point of view
Mr.. Eager then iokingly said that the
road should be built high over the
Spree river at Berlin aud the ems
peror laughinglX agreed with him.
In the course Of their further con-
vcrsation Mr.. Eager dropped the re-
mark that he formerly studied music
in Leipzig, Whereupon the emperor
manifested interest on this point ny
nouiring about his education and by
expressing himself generally about
music.
"rhe emperor then led the convor-
saton TO the lndustrio of Barmcn and
asked very pointed questions whether
disputes had arisen about tho tariff.
Consul Eager was able to inform him
that through the new tariff treaty
with America, matters had improved
and he especially pointed out that he
felt himself obliged to be active In
German and American interests.
"rhe emperor also asked some
questions about the present state OF
finance in the United states and OK

STATE OFFICERS HERE
Hammond Saloonmen Hold
an Important Meeting
in Roth's Hall.

The Hammond Saloonkeepers' asso-
citation held an important meeting this
afternoon in Roth's hall. The meeting
was held for the purpose of entertain
Ing representatives from the ndepend-
ent Order Knights of Fidelity, an or
ganization which is striving to be a
state organization of saloonkeepers.
The question that will come up be-
fore the saloonkeepers' association is
that of whether it wants to affiliate
itself with the Independent Order
knights of Fidelity or whether the
Hammond Saloonkeepers' association
wishes to remain an independent local
organization. The question will in all
probability not be decided today, as
the members wish to take it under
consideration.
The representatives of the state or
ganization We're in Michigan City yes
terday with a similar mission as they
present to the Hammond saloonkeepers
today and were highly pleased with
the results attained there.
The following men compose the
grand officers of the order:
Fred Heineman. Indianapolis. grand

ORII 8 T)HE
MOVE THEIR STORE
Will Move Ladies Store to
First Floor of Ham
mond Building.

Ortt & Towle, who have been so
successful in the shoe business in Ham
mond, both in their establishment in
the "Flatiron building" and in their
store where women's shoes are sold on
the second floor of the Hammond
building, that they have decided to
branch out and will tomorrow move
the store for ladies shoes into the
room on the main floor of the Ham
mond building at the corner of Norman
and Fayette streets.
Messrs Ortt & Towle have discov-
cred as result of the liberal patron
age they have received, that the pub
lie approves of their plan to specialize
in mems shoes in one store ond in
women's fine shoes in another.
The clerks in each place. by deal
ing in a special line of goods are
enabled to better satisfy the particular
trade which comes to them and this
has has been the secret to their sue
cess
The fixtures which have been placed
in the room on the second floor Of the
Hammond building will be removed to
the quarters which were formerly oc-
cupied by Madam Mcneil with her mill
inery establishment and later on as the
business increases the stock will be
enlarged.
When Ortt & 'Towle are finally To-
Gated in their new quarters, there will
not be a store for womens fine shoes
in Northern Indiana which will equal il
and the splendid location will doubtless
attract large trade which this firm
| has not had before.
The store on Holman street where
mems fine shoes are now sold, will
/ be operated as before and the only
| change will be Improvement of the
store in the Hammond building.

State Health officer Barnard Visits
Plant and Stamps It With O. K
Local Health Commissioner Weis
Says Adjacent Hammond Pumping
Station Is in No Danger.

Sewage conditions at the American
Maize Products company at Roby, about
which there has been much complaint,
owing to the@eewer outlet of the plant
being only a few hundred feet away
from the intake of the Hammond pump
ing station, have at last been relieved
The new system went into operation
last Monday. and the company now de-
fies all the inspectors and chemists that
Indiana has to find fault with the
sewage or to blame the company with
communicating the drinking water in
Lake Michigan.
The system that is being used now
is a system of distillation and the water
that flows into the lake, through the
big sewer from the plant. is practically
distilled water
| Like all big plants, the American
Maize Products company has no waste,
and consequently there can be no sew
age. Even the floor cleanings, which
consist mainly of grain and water, are
utilized. Everything is put into huge
vats and there boiled down so that
bacteria and germs, If they really did
exist in the floor cleanings. would be
killed by the distilling process.
The complaint about the plant was
however, not entirely unfounded Sew
age which in itself was not very harm
full. but which gave off rather strong
smell, was drained into the lake
New System Profitable.
The company, however, working or
the principle that any water having ar
odor to its contains, decaying sub
stance decided, that this substance must
be saved before it is in decaying state
and for this reason installed the stills
for filtering an distilling the sewage
The company realized that it was prac,
tically losing l per cent of it's profits
and while this is nominal for day, i
amounts to much in a year, enough tt
maintain the distilling system and leave
a profit.
The company would have installed
the system sooner. but owing to its in
ability of getting the machinery tn,
work was delayed and the expensiv,
plant, being otherwise completed. had t
be but into operation even at the risl
of losing the per cent.
H E. Barnard, state pure food in
ispector. on his recent visit to Ham
mond, when he addressed the mill
dealers, visited the plant in compan,
with DR.. W. D. Weis, secretary Of tn
Hammond board of health, and ex
pressed himself as highly pleased witt
the Improvement. Dr. Weis, who wa
about to begin an investigation, foun,
everything to be in perfect condition
as far as sewage conditions were con
cerned and says there is no furthe
need to worry.

It. marked New York Central Lines,
was recovered.
Po1eskf Caught Red-Hnnded.
| One of the good things about the ar
rest of the men is the fact that Alex
| Poleski was one of the men caught
red handed in the raid and he is the
man who had Sheriff F. S. Carter ar
rested by the federal authorities for
opening his mail and then complained
of the food which was served to him
when all of the other prisoners were
satisfied with their fare.
The arrest was made by p J. Burke,
chief of the secret service of the In
diana Harbor railroad, Captain Aust
gen and Nick Einsle of the Hammond
police force and James frost, deputy
sheriff of Lake county.
When the word was sent to Ham
mond police that the men with the
brass had boarded the Lake Shore
suburban train and would go through
Hammond on the way to Chicago, the
officers were at the station to meet
them.
They went through the train and
esyping their men they proceeded tc
search them. 1t did not take long tc
reveal the fact that each of them had
a quantity of brass about their waists
and they were brought to the police
station The men got on the train al

here at lip p. m. At the station the
men were relieved Of the stolen brass
