The city council of Hammond will

ARRESTED Fur
STEALING BOTTLES
Joseph Kohl Says It Is Com
mon Thing For Dealers
to Steal Them.

Ordinarily, n milk dealer. John Pohl-
platz of 2T3 Truman, changed his spots
this morning and found himself stridu-
lent with the majesty of the law.
In other words he was a cop.
And while he was at 1t he made n
good cop.
He arrested this morning JOsejh Kohl
of state Line street where Illinois and
Indiana hug each other and march ed
the IS-year-OId lad to the police sta
tiOn where Sergeant Henry Shafer
booked young I<ohI for bringing stolen
goods from one state into another.
And thereby hands "a tale.
Some One Stole His Bottles.
Pohlplatz runs a dairy and milk de-
pot in Hammond and peddles lacteal
fluid in West Hammond. OF late he
has been missing lot of both milk and
milk bottles and determined to do a
little Sherlock Holmes investigating
on his own account
Young Kohl is a driver for the
Kliztke dairy and this morning while
on his milk route. Pohlplatz spotted
Kohl stealing his milk bottles and
placed him under arrest. Kohl. at the
police station was released on his own
recognizance and agreed to come later
in the day to stand trial
Says All Steal Them.
Kohl said this morning in the police
station. "All milk dealers steal milk
bottles. There is only one or two in
Hammond that buy their bottles They
have stole a lot of our bottles and
Kliztke told me I had to bring them
Of
from bottle dealers. We get them from
junk dealers who buy stolen proper
ty"
The police substantiate the boys
story and say the milk dealers get
their bottles from other dealers and
junk men.

TINE TO GET AFTER THEM
Large Sums of Money to Be
Spent by G. G. & L. Until
Winter Season Sets In.

1t may be about time for the Ham
mond Board of Public Works to go
after the Chicago, Cincinnati and
Louisville railroad to compel them to
buile the depot in Hammond which
was promised when the road was given
the right to cross certain Hammond
streets
The people of Hammond were reluct-
ant to grant the road the right to cut
through this territory and anly did so
upon the promise that it would built
a 100000 depot at once. The road has
now been in operation for over a year
and nothing has been done.
That the road is in financial condi-
ton to build a depot is shown by the
following dispatch from Richmond, one
of the important cities on the line
physical conditions of the Chicago,
Cincinnati and Louisville railroad are
showing much improvement since Re
ceiver Goodrich has been in charge
From now until winter stops the work
putting the road in good shape New
ties are being put down and every foot
of the road between Cincinnati and
Chicago viii be reballasted Consider
able new rolling stock also is to be
added in the fall. Business in both
passenger and freight departments
compares favorably. it is asserted with
other roads, all of which have suffered
from the industrial slump.

ALLEGATION WAS
NOT SUFFICIENT
Suit Was Brought in Life Time Of
Late President Oscar Broms, Who
Did Not Live to Learn the Victory
of His Manufacturing Concern in
Hammond.

The late Oscar Broms, who was
president of the Hammond Boiler
works, did not live to see the appellate
court reverse n Judgment secured i'm
the Lake superior court against his
concern.
The news of his victory came to
Hammond today.
Company Doesn't Have to Pay.
A judgment recovered by DIR. John
R. Hoffman of Chicago against the
president of the Hammond Boiler
works for the value of his profess
sional services in taking a silver of
steel out of workman's eye by the
use of a giant ma gnet, was reversed
today by the appellate court The
complaint merely alleged that after the
workman had been injured a doctor at
Hammond recommended that he be
sent to Chicago where the necessary
magnet and other appliances to re-
move the~ silver could be obtained, and
that the president and secretary of the
boiler works ssept him. 10 plaintiff FOR
immediate attenuqns-~r4lr r4lre5 5z5co court =.
this was not a sufficient allegation
that they hired Hoffman to treat the
injured eye or that they promised to
pay for the treatment.
1t Was Bitterly Contested.
The case was bitterly fought in the
Hammond court. DIR. H. z. Sharrer at
tended the workman and sent him to
Chicago where a great magnet could
be secured for the purpose of getting
out the steel.
DR.. Hoffman sued for recovery Of
his fees and was given a judgment for
800 in the Lake superior court At
torneys for the Hammond Boiler
works appealed the case and it was
sent TO the appellate court

they IE'[s KNEW THE GOOD
NEWS WAS COMING
Simplex Official Gratified to
Learn of Western Steel
Car Co. Improvement.
ELECTION IS BAD ON BUSINESS
Opinion is Expressed That Before
Winter All Factories Will
Be Busy Again.

W. w. Thomas of the Simplex Rail
way Appliance company was very
much pleased when he read in THE
TIMES last evening of the plans to
spend a quarter of a million dollars
in the improving of the Hegewisch
plant of the Western Steel Car and
Foundry company.
That is bully good news" said Mr.
Thomas. L knew it was coming and
I wondered why it had been so long
delayed. The various corporations
over the country have all arranged
their finances. Where they have had
notes and other paper coming due they
have arranged to have them taken up
and they are now supplied with all
the money they need to buy new equip
ment."
Election Hurts Business.
Mr.. Thomas went on to say that he
supposed the only reason why the rail
roads We're delaying the purchase OF
stock is the slight uncertainty over
the outcome of the coming national
election. Should Bryan be elected and
the tariff endangered the roads would
not risk the expenditure of a cent
The business conditions of the country
would he too uncertain.
Mr.. Thomas said the number of emp
ty cars is being rapidly reduced. There
are 5000 less empties now than there
were two weeks ago The outlook fol-
a bumper crop is better than ever and
it will take large number of cars
to transport the crops when they are
harvested.
Every order that is now received by
the Simplex company is a rush order
The roads do not seem to be able tc
wait a minute. They must have their
orders filled at once This indicate.
that the roads are getting down t.
rock bottom and will have to come into
the market for cars in the near fu-
ture.
Mr.. Thomas was of the opinion tha
before winter all of the factories il
the Calumet region would be busy
again and that every man who want.
work viii get it.
