fessional wrestling match at Huehn s
hall. Monday night at o'clock.

from Montant, who weighs about 25O
pounds in condition, will try to throw
Carl Anderson and Ernest Warner

1t is predicted by q Hammond man
who is close to the powers that be that
the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMITS
SIONERs WILL GRANT LICENSES TO
THE GARY sALOONKEEPERs.
The remarkable statement coming

CAN'T BE VERIFIED.

themselves, who beeides being non-
conmittaI 70 the course they VIII
pursue, have not signified to the press
or public that their minds are mszae
up as to the decision they viii snake.
OFFICIALS ARE IMPRESSED.
There is no question whatever but
that the commissioners have been
forcibly impressed with the fight put
up by the saIoonkeepers of Gary and
are disinclined to set any precedent
which would rob Lake county OF hnn@
dreds of thousands of dollars yeax.

Crown Point, Ind. May 16.-The
commissioners made no decision on the
| Calumet township saloon question yes
terday. Many witnesses were exam
/ ined but nothing of decisive value was
gained by the lawyers for either side
by the questioning. 1t is said that the
responsibility of a decision will be
partly lifted from the shoulders of the
| commissioners, as whichever way they
decide the matter will be taken to the
| higher courts by the losing side The
saloon faction base their hope Of
winning out, on the present sentiment
of the voters Of the township and the
Anti-saloon League or an adverse de-
cision of the supreme court which held
| in recent case that the signature of
the majority of the voters at the last
election is necessary to make the re-
| monstrance valid and not of some fu-
ture election.

TOLL OF 81. IS COLLECTED
Police Will Search Standard Car
District for Men Not
Wanted.

Chief of Police Fred Rimbach of
Hammond believes that Daniel FaIIx-
ner of the Emigration Bureau in WASH
ipgtOn, has offered the Calumet regicn
solution of its problem of eliminate
ing and controlling the criminal for
eign element In his suggestion that the
United States government is only too
glad to pay the expenses of depOrting
foreigners who have committed n fell
oRy and those who may be found to
have an incurabIe disease.
Wanted Names of Foreigners.
Mr.. Falkner visited Hammond a few
days ago and informed the chief of
police that he would like to have the
names of any foreigners who might be
deported under these conditions. He
said that he would send the chief copy
OF the law at his earliest convenience
and that it would be a good way to
rid the community of criminal for
eigners.
1t appears that a toll of 81 is col
1ected from every emigrant entering
this country and is used for the purpose
of paying the expenses of deporting
those who are found to be not desirable
after they arrive.
Gets An Enormous Fund.
This fund has grown to such en-
normous proportion on account of the
remarkable number of foreigners who
have come to this country during the
past few years that it now amounts
to over s5,00O,OOO. The emigration
bureau is we'll aware of the fact thai
there is a large vicious and crimina
element in the foreign population OF
every city and as long as these funds
are available for the purpose of elm.

use it.

Hereafter when foreigner is con-
victed of a felony means will be taken
to find out how long he has been In this
country, where he came from, and or
what boat he came over. He will ther
be deported instead of being sent te
Jail and the community will be re-
lieved of the responsibility Of support

Mr.. Falkner has gone to Michigan
City to make the same report.

1t will be seen what a complete mo-
nopoly of the streets the local lines
would have II the franchise on Column
bia avenue is granted and it will also
be seen what splendid service to all
parts of the city the company would
be able to give if it had this franchise
1t is not generally known. but for
a long time the Hammond, Whiting &
East Chicago company has had its eyes
on certain streets in West Hammond
which 1t proposed to use as an outlet
to Hegewisch.
The South Chicago City Railway com
pany, with which the Hammond, Whit
ing & East Chicago and the Calumet
Electric lines are now affiliated was
compelled by the Chicago city council
to make an extension from South Chi
cago to Hegewisch in order to secure
renewal of its franchise.
Want Loop In Business Part.
1t has therefore become the policy of
the company to build a connecting link
from the loop in the Hammond business
district down West State street in West
Hammond to Burnham avenue and
thence north to Burnham and Hege-

All Indications are that the attend
ance of the Northern Indiana High
school conference meet at Harrison
park this afternoon will be the largest
that has ever seen an athletic event
in this city.
The day is perfect one and the
grounds are in splendid condition. It
was feared for a time that the rain,
which has fallen in such quantities
during the past few weeks. would
make the field soft but the warm sun
of the past few days has dried up the
wet spots and the grounds are now
in splendid condition.

Want Franchise ON Columbia.

The company is willing that inter-
urban lines should run through the city
but when it come to dividing up the
streets 2of The City with a competing
city line the officials think the plan
would be ruinous to both.
1t is very probable that strenuous
effort will be made to secure a fran
chise on Columbia avenue. When the
bridge over the Calumet river is com
pleted this summer Calumet avenue will
afford another means of reaching Ham
mond from the north. The Hammond,
Whiting & East Chicago line already
controls two of the bridges in the city
and they want to control the third to
prevent a competing line from enter
ing the city by this means.
In addition. of course, the company
viii build a loop line on Columbia
avenue from the present terminal of it's
line in the Standard settlement to a
junction point on it's East Chicago line
at One Hundred and Fiftieth street and
Columbia avenue, near the Fitzhugh-
Luther plant.

WILL BUILD LINE
ON COLUMBIA AVE.
Company Already Controls Two Of the
City's Bridges Over the Calumet
and Wants to Get Hold of Columbia
Avenue Structure as Soon it Is
Completed This Summer.

The Hammond, Whiting & East Chi
cago street railway company has for
mulated plan to make important ex-
tensions in this city, necessitating the
securing of franchise rights on new
streets. The company also proposes
to secure a franchise in West Hammond
for the purpose of extending a line
north of Burnham avenue to Hegewisch
where 1t will connect with new line
running directly to South Chicago.
These facts were learned from an
authoritive source and it is practically
admitted by the officials of the com
pany that they believe one company
should have a monopoly of the traction
business in this city in order to serve
the community in the best possible
manner.
