GET OUT GOOD PAPER
Boy City Daily News is a
Publication Rejecting
Credit on Editors.

Several copies of the Boy City News
have been received at the office of THE
TIMES from that remarkable city of
youths at Winona Lake. The paper is a.
live publication written and edited by
toys and is credit to American young
manhood.
The paper is remarkable in that 1t
has to do with the lives of boys and
reflects perfectly their ideas, pleasures
and ambitions. In the issues which
have just been received the paper is
full of campaign material 1t has
write ups" of the various candidates
and is brimful of enthusia SIN.
The fine hand of Judge Brown who
is back of the Bay City movement can
be seen all the way through. The in
terest in the campaign which is just
past is reflected in the pages of the
daily and and it is interesting to read
the platforms of the various parties.
In the near future there will be given
great circus at the Boy City at which
the while city is expected to be in at
tendance. The boys are now captur-
ing snakes, birds. ground moles and
other animals to make up the menag-
erie and the boys themselves will do
the circus stunts

Clerks Declare That New Ruling Is
Unfair to Them and Made
Virgous Objections.

There are few people who in their
from train while the latter was going
at the rate of so miles an hour.
While the sack is only leather or
canvass and as in the rural district
contains only a little mail everybody
realizes that the momentum of the
empty sack alone would be enough to
break the bones in any mans body if
it should happen to strike him. Not in
frequently have people been hurt by
flying sacks and Uncle Sam has had
to pay for damage suits. Now how
hold the mail clerk responsible for any
accident that may occur through fly
ing sack. They have been notified and
are accordingly greatly alarmed.
VIII Be Fined.
The notice is coupled with the ac-
count of a damage case recently tried
by jury in Ohio and in which the
mail clerk compromised by paying
damages amounting to $500. The de-
partment declares that not only are
the railroads gong TO hOIu the mail
clerks responsible, but that the de
partment will, in addition, assess a fine
for violation of the rules for handling
pouches when thrown off of moving
trains. The mail clerks declare that
the effort to hold them responsible is
unfair because the government has beer
lcriminally slow in providing a safe
means of delivery of mail from moving
trains. 1t is claimed that there are
| a number of devices on the market
which make it perfectly safe to throw
mail pouch off a train going at al
most any rate of speed.
A number of these devices have beer
tested by the government and one ol
two of them have been found to b,
efficient. Despite this fact. the govern
ment delays it providing such facilities
choosing rather to stand the risk o
loss of mails and damage to persons
and property. The official order of tn,
railway mail clerks, therefore. petition
the department to take speedy actor
toward providing a safe mail catch.

MAY SEND DELEGATES
Hammond Democrats In
vited to Send Representa-

The formation of state league of
democratic clubs of Indiana cities will
be a principal topic for discussion at
the regular meeting of the Hammond
Democratic club this evening in the
club rooms
The Hammond club has received an
invitation from F. NJ. Wilson, secretary
of the Jackson club of Lafayette to
send one more delegate to a represen-
tative meeting which will be held un-
der the auspices of the Jackson club at
Lafayette, August 20
While no steps have been taken by
the local club the movement seems

this evening by appointing delegation
to the meeting.

GARY CLUB THANKS
HAMMOND MEN
Official Says He Was Asked to Join
Organization, But His Was the
Only One of Twenty -Four Names
That the Commercial Club Re-
fused to Enroll.

Louis A. Bryan. city treasurer of
Gary, and one of the weaIthiest real
estate men of the community, WE'LL
known in Hammond and all over Lake
county, was blackbaIIed yesterday af-
ternoon by the Gary Commercial club
when his name was presented for menu
bership. Mr.. Bryan made a statement
to The Times yesterday afternoon i'm
down by the organization after he had
been invited by several of the mem-
bers to join. The vote against him, it
is said, was seven, four more than is
required to prevent his becoming a
member. Mr.. Bryan says he was blacl-
bnlled by the saioonkeepers and real
estate men who have perso1sa1 aninos-I
fly towards him, due to his night
against the saloons.
ONLY ONE TURNED DOWN.
Mr.. Bryan, out of the twenty five
applicants at the meeting this after
noon, was the only one turned down.
The city treasurer feels the action of
the club keenly, but expressed conf
dence that the majority of the club
were with him. Mr.. Bryan has made
a number of enemies through his ag-
gressiveness in lighting the saloons of
the city. 1t is likely, therefore, that
he will never have an opportunity of
joining the club.
The Commercial club added to it's
roll this afternoon the largest num-

Street Car Company Would Alsc|
Have To Help Repair Sheffield
Avenue.

The conference between the board of
public works and the county commits
sioners who yesterday inspected Indi-
ana boulevard and Sheffield avenue with
a view of repairing it resulted in a
proposition made on the part of the
county commissioners to repave Indi-
ana boulevard from the state line to
the Whiting line and stand half of the
expense in the repairing of Indiana
boulevard, the other half to go out
of the general fund of the city of
Hammond.
Board Is Considering.
The board has not yet given definite
answer to this proposition, since il
woul mean that the entire city would
have to help pay for the repaving OF
Sheffield avenue and that this may be
discrimination against the taxpayer:
in general since they have to pay 70

The Indiana boulevard re-pavemen
could be undertaken only after petit
tion had been started.
Hammond has been turning in abouI
SS, 900 annually in the county's stred
fund and during the past five yea1
has received little in return. Whel
the county commissioners were aske|
to spend some of this money in HAM

could not get all of it.
Vital Question For State Street.
The property owners are especially
desirous that some of the councilmen
who voted against the joint pole propo-
sition reconsider the matter and thus
get into the State street band wagon.
The question tonight Will be:
Do we want double street car cross
ings on State street over the railroad
tracks and across and over between
the two street car tracks brought sc
near the curb as to make teaming more
dangerous, or do we want only one
track and instead of the second one
get the business district rid of forty
three unnecessary guy poles and have
iron poles placed by the street car com
pany where joint poles are not feas
oble?
