AUTO IS IN ACCIDENT
Chicago Car Encounters
Rough Going on State
Street Last Night.

At $50 o'clock last evening an auto
mobile. belonging to Chicago parties
and containing six passengers. fou.
men and two women ran off from the
pavement on State street into the por-
tion of the street that is being i'm
proved and bent an axle and broke one
of its headlights
The accident was wholly the fault of
the driver of the machine, for he not
only passed four red lights, which were
placed on the street a warning to
automobilists and others, but he ig-
nored the warning of three men who
told him that the street was being i'm
proved and that he had better be care
full.
The men who warned him We're Dock
Brennan, Frank Kollwitz and Frank
RayI. Fortunately no one was hurt
and the damage to the machine was
the extent of the loss.
The machine had an Illinois license.
but the police did not learn the names
of the occupants.

GETS NEW EQUIPMENT
Hammond Postoffice Gets a
Special New Adding
Machine Yesterday.

The Hammond postoffice is undoubt-
edly equipped with one of thesbest add
ing machines that has ever appeared
in this city 1t operates electrically
and it is a great deal more rapid than
the others.
On the ordinary machine it is neces-
sary to touch the figures which are ex-
pected to be added and then the time
losing operation is to pull crank at
the side of the machine and register
the row of figures
On the new Burroughs electric adding
machine the figures are touched in the
same manner. but when it comes to
recording the row of figures. it is ne
cessary only to touch a key board
similar to the spacer on a typewriter.
That performs the operation and does
is so easily and so quickly that it is
simply marvellous. If ever there was a
machine which was so constructed
that it could think, the Burroughs
electric adding machine is one.

Not an accident happened to mark
the success of the affair, and with the
exception of the injury to "Diavalo,"
who injured himself while doing his
perilous stunt on last Wednesday night
the four days meeting was noticeably
free from the slightest sign of an acct
dent.
Crowd Was Very OderIy.
The crowd for the four days meeting
was a'so very orderly and not single
act of lawbreaking has been recorded
by the police, which is considered phe-
nominal, considering that probably over
twenty thousand people of all descrip-
tons and e6ndifsJfis OF fife attended.
Yesterdays crowd is estimated at
between eight and ten thousand people

Probably over 800 automobilists came
to the fair grounds and the machines
lined up in the grounds covered a big
space.
The races yesterday afternoon were
good and very exciting and the i'm

this feature of the big show.
The first race with starters, was
handi1y won by Almeda Oh So, the In

In the second heat of this race the

Business Men of Village Believes
That the aMtter Should Be
Carefully Considered.

The South Shore Gas and 7lectric
Company last night discussed the mat
ter of a franchise with the members of
the town board of West Hammond. It
is understood that the Hammond com
pany proposed to take over the West
Hammond electric plant, its poles and
all of its equipment.
In return it offered to supply forty
electric lights at Sc a year or s72 a
year and furnish, not to exceed Sc. 900
killowats of electricity to the city for
the purpose of pumping it's sewers
Providing For Future.
1t is understood that at the pres
ent time but 10000 killowats of cleo
tricity are needed to pump the sewers
and the additional 10000 killowats are
to be used in the event that the amount
of sewage doubles the city will have
the power available to take care Of
it.
In order to determine the valuation
of the plant and also the estimated
value of the electricity which would be
usel by the city in pumping its sewage
a representative of the town of West
Hammond and a representative of the
South Shore Gas and Electric Company

a franchise which Will be acceptable to
both parties.
Taken Up at Next Meeting.
The matter will be taken up at the
next meeting of the board and will
be considered carefully. There was
some opposition to the franchise on
the part of several of the business

that the proposition should be care

probable benefits to both parties be-
fore any action is taken.
