IS OPPOSED
Rev. H. r. Todd of Flora
Would be G.. A. r.
Chaplain.

The candidacy of Rev. F. M. Elliott
of Hammond is being urged at Kokomo
at the annual state encampment of the
G. A. R.. The only other persons out
for the place is Rev. II. K. Todd of
Flora.
The weather in Kokomo is as good as
the Man From Home" could ask and
the parade of old veterans and of the
members of the W. R. C. as a notable
ore. Yesterday a reception was tend
erede to the officers of the G. A. r.
and w. r. c. which was attended by
hundreds of visitors
The people of Hammond are greatly
interested in the candidacy of Rev.
Elliott and are somewhat surprised
that an opposing candidate has entered
the field.
John w. Dyer of Hammond was made
a member of the committee on reports
of assistant adjutant general and as
sistant quartermaster general The
contest for the various other officers of
the post is warming up and the election
is expected to be an interesting one.

MAY GET WORK HERE
Standard Steel Car ePople
Hopeful Of Getting
Part of Erie Order.

The report that the Standard Steel
Car company had received an order for
1000 cars from the Erie railroad was
gladly received in this city. An effort
was made this morning to find out
whether or not the cars would be man
ufactured here, but the officers at the
local plant deny any knowledge of the
order except what they have seen in
the newspaper dispatches.
One of the officials was asked If he
did not think the order would be gotten
out in the plant at Butler, which is still
in operation, rather than in Hammond
which has not yet resumed
He said he did not believe that that
would make any difference, and if there
has been an order placed, he thought
Hammond would stand as good a show
of getting at least a part or all of 1t, as
the plant at Butler
1t has been known for some time that
the Erie railroad is in dire need of new
equipment and since Hartman has
taken control of the line it is expected
that there will be funds available for
the rehabilitation of the rolling stock

AGED LADY VERY
BADLY HURT TODAY
Mrs. Lucinda Mcclure is
Injured in a Runaway
This Morning.
FRIGHTENED HORSE IS CAUSE
Injured Lady Is Mother of Mrs. J.
N. Turner, 41S Truman
Avenue.

Mrs Lucinda Mcclure, mother of Mrs.
], NJ. Turner of 419 Truman avenue,
was the victim of a frightful accident
which presented a horrifyfng spectacle
to the witnesses.
Mrs. Mcclure was trampIed beneath
one Of the heavy Paxton & Baker
draught horses which became fright
ened by an Erie engine which was
standing at the depot. Mrs. Mcclure
suffered a broken nose, and possibly in
ternal injuries and a fracture of the
thigh bone and many other flesh
bruises. Her condition is not serious
although very painful and necessltates
her to be confined to her bed for some
time
How Accident Happened.
The accident happened about 1920
when a north bound Erie passenger
train was standing at the depot Hart,
a driver for Paxton & Baker, was driv-
ing one horse single and leading an
other in the rear of his wagon. As
he was crossing the Erie track the
rear horse became frightened by the
engine and began to trample and
prance and in its maneuvers jumped
ono the sidewalk where Mrs. Mcclure
was just then passing. The unfortunate
woman could not get out of reach of
the brutes paving feet and was knock
ed to the ground with the heavy animal
standing and tramping above her.
The accident was witnessed by Henry
J. Huber of 24S State street, who was
the first on the scene F. w. French of
21S Wilcox avenue and Earl Hathaway
of 622 May street.
Drs. Clark and Graham were on the
scene Immediately and ordered the un-
fortunate woman carried to Kussmaul's
cigar store, where first medical aid
was given her. She was removed to
her home in a hack

a Farm Near Crown
Point.
Especial to Times

Crown Point, Ind, May 2O.-John
Handley, a young man 21 years of age
was arrested last evening by Sheriff
Carter at the farm of John Perry, east
of town, where he is employed. Young
Handley is badly wanted by Sheriff N.
E. Meyerly, of Mankato, Jewell county,
Kansas. and one Elizabeth Bates there
charging him with getting girl into
trouble.
Was Badly Wanted.
His presence is very necessary to
the peace Of mind and reputation of
the young woman. Young Hadley
skipped that section of the country
some time age and has been employed
around here as a farm hand. His de-
scription sent by the Kansas sheriff,
was all the authorities had to work on,
and his arrest is considered quite
clever piece of detective work on their
part Sheriff Meyerly will probably
arrive tomorrow to escort his prisoner
TO the Kansas town.

MONON DEPOT IS
A PROBABILITY
Business Mems Committee
Will See President Of
Road About It.
CAPT. DOWNING HAS OPINION
Believes That Erie and Monon Rail
roads Should Build Jointly
and Have One Agent.

It now seems to be among the prob
abilities of the near future that the
Monon railroad will build a new depot
at the intersection of its tracks and
Fayette street It is understood that
the depot will be built of Bedford stone
and will be one of the finest along the
line of the road.
E. F. Johnson, representing the Ham
mond Business Mems association and
several of the members of this organi-
zation will go to Chicago soon to find
out just what are the plans of the rail-
road and if there is any prospects of
the railroads building to encourage it
in the enterprise.
Captain j. c. Downing Of the Monon
was asked today if he had recently
heard anything that made a noise like
a Monon depot and he admitted that
while there was nothing official he be-
lieved the matter was being considered
Doesn't Think Site Large Enough.
He said he did not believe the pres
ent site of the depot was large enough
for the new one which will have to be
built some time in the near future
He said that if he had his way the
depot would be moved to a new site
south of Fayette street. This would
prevent the blocking of the crossings
at State and Sibley streets and would
enable the company to utilize site
much more roomy than the one they
now are occupying.
Mr.. Downing suggested that in his
private opinion was that it would be a
good plan for the Monon and Erie rail-
roads to get together and build a depot
that would serve for both of the roads
He said that The roads could then
afford to construct one of the finest
structures in the state and could put
| UP a station that would be credit to
the city.
One Agent For Both Roads.
The business Of both roads in this
city could be done by one agent and
Eone set of depot employees and in view
of the fact that these two roads al
ready have several depots in common
between here and Chicago he thought
it would not be hard to get them to-
gether here.
The committee of the Business Mems
association will plan to see President
W. H. McDoel of the Monon in the near
future and it plans to take with it some
| photographs of the other new depots
which are being built in Hammond just
to show what others roads are doing
for the city.

LIVELY TILT PROVOKED
IN COUNCIL MEETING

tracked, however, and Councilman
John Kane held out stubbornly to the
last moment until by the arguments
of ]. D. Smalley he was convinced
that the city would only be the loser in
the amount of interest that would
accrue on the city's refunding bonds
due June 1.
The appropriation ordinance was
not the first thing to be brought up,
but it caused more interest than any
other matter brought before the coun-
ell.
Stinson Takes CudgeI for WoIter
Attorney j. K. Stinson attended the
meeting. saying that he did so only
as taxpayer and speaking in behalf
of Mr.. Wolter argued that the appro-
priation ought to be allowed since the
business of the treasurers office dur
ing the last fiscal year has increased
more than $4,000. He argued that
the city treasurer was under 500. 900
bonds and that it was in the city's
interest to have all business disposed
of Immediately as it presents itself
Mayor Becker, after referring to the
practices of Mr. VOTERS predecessors
in retaining one per cent of the taxes
collected continued in a more personal
vein saying: The spirit of the city
treasurers office has been hostile ever
since 1 refused Mr.. Wolter an extra
5000 and ever since that time it has
been one continuous knock. Mr.. VOL
ter has no faith in the mayors office
nor does he go to the city attorney

She is much the older of the two girls.
Miss Fleischer's parents were notified
of her plight and they asked the po-
lice to hold her until they could de-
eide what to do with her.
Three Cases in Two Days.
This is the third like case that has
been brought to the attention of the
police in two days, the other being the
16-year-old Marceline girl.
The authorities are trying hard to
find out who is contributing to the de-
linquency of a number of young Ham
mond girls who are still nothing but
children and to whom the streets of
Hammond at midnight are as familiar
as at noon.

Republicans Secure Head
quarters Where Confabs
Will be Held.
TO PLOT AGAINST DEMOCRATS
Other Rooms To Be Rented Later in
the Campaign For Po-
litical Use.

County Chairman f. Richard Schaaf
announces that he has secured the
suite of rooms over the Commercial
bank for republican city headquarters.
The rooms are now occupied by At
torneys Smith and Schottler, but short
Iy they will be turned over to Mr..
Schaaf and will be the finest head
quarters that the party has ever had in
this city.
The rooms will be properly furnished
and F. Richard Schaaf will make them
his office from the time he moves-in a
week or two-until the campaign is
over He will also maintain his office
in the Superior court building, but
he will spend most of his time at the
headquarters where he can be readily
found and will have telephone COM
munication with his other office.
The rooms over the Commercial bank
are so accessible that it is expected
they will be crowded most of the time
after the campaign warns up. Here
the deep laid plots by which Schaaf
expects the democrats to be defeated
will be hatched.
VIII Rent Other Quarters.
Later on. in the campaign other rooms
will be rented for the purpose of stor-
ing campaign supplies and keeping lit
erature. The arrangement for the
rooms was made with Attorney Schot-
tier and the first rent was paid over
today.
Considering the fact that office rooms
are so hard to secure and that all of
the available rooms in the center of
the business district are used for other
purposes, Chairman Schaaf feels that he
has been exceedingly fortunate in Sc
curing the rooms over the Commercial
bank.
1t is Mr.. Schaaf's purpose to secure
headquarters in every city in the coun-
ty and the strenuous efforts he is max
ing along this line is but another evi-
dence of agressiveness which char
acterises the management of the party
in this county

COURSE WILL Be
FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
Attendance Will Be Made Compul-
sorry and Board of Education Be-
ieves That the Plan viii Be of
Extreme Benefit to the Young Peo-
pie Attending Local High School

A course in physical culture is to be
one of the innovations in the Hammond
high school next year 1t is to be ar
ranged for both boys and girls aud
there will be tIyo classes a week for
b tn. The auditorium will be used as
a gymnasium, and it is believed that
the introduction of this line of high
school work will not only result in the
development of stronger physiques in
the high school students. both male and
female, but it will add greatly to the
interest in athletics
Plan Accepted One.
This plan is generally regarded as
great advance over the usual facilities
for athletic development in the schools
For instance a boy who is strong and
agile enough may become member Of
the track team or may get chance to
make the basketball squad. If he is
heavy and hardy enough he may make
the football team.
With the girls the only form of ex-
ercise that is provided for them is
basketball and that is only suitable
for the strongest of them. The others
are deprived of their opportunity to
develop physically and they are the
ones who really need the development
most
Attendance Compulsory.
But the plan which is now being out
lined by Superintendent Mcdaniel will
provide for classes in gymnastics for
all of the students in the high school
and attendance in these classes twice
week will be compulsory unless the
students can prove physical disability
This plan is in vogue at Wabash coll
lege and many of the other colleges of
the state, and at some of them failure
to attend gym drills" is cause for dis
missal from classes.
The drills will be made as interesting
as possible and Professor Alice will
have charge of the boys classes, while
one Of the teachers will be given
charge of the girls.
Thinks "Gym' Drill Solution
The physical welfare of the whole
student body is a matter that, in the
opinion of Superintendent Mcdaniel, re-
| ceives too little attention in the aver
age school He offers the gym"
drill as the solution of the problem
Along in the winter time there will
be exhibition drills given to which the
general public will be invited and these
exhibition always prove interesting.
VIII Have Fine Gymnasium.
The whole outcome of the new plan
Will be that when the new Central high
school building is designed it will have
one of the most modern and up date
gymnasium in the state.
Shower baths will be provided and
there will be all kinds of gymnastfc
apparatus installed. The physical well
fare of the students will be given the
attention it deserves and athletics in
the Hammond high school viii receive
an impetus such as it has never known
| before.
! Athletics for all of the high school
students is to be the common sense
slogan of the school officials in the fu-
ture.

FRANK GETS SOUsED
Bad Boys on sibley Street
Pour Water on Frank
Fogelson.

"And it isn't the first time 1t has
happened" declared Frank Fogelson
last night to the Hammond police.
Mr.. Fogelson was vending his weary
way home last night and while passing
the Hall newsstand on Sibley street, he
was astounded to feel a pailfull of
water overwhelm him
Tt came from the roof Of the building
and a bunch of boys began hasty ex-
odus from the roof as Mr.. Fogelson
began an investigation
He was unable to capture any of the
lads, however but reported
the matter at the police station i'm
mediateIy. He complained that the
drenching had happened many times
before.

to do and that was to grant the re-

The attorneys for the liquor dealers
have stated that in their opinion Coun-

commissioners on points Of law was
perfectly fair from start to finish

Action Came As Surprise.
The liquor dealers claimed to have
proven that ffty-five of the names
We're secured by misrepresentation and
twenty-seven of them had no right to
vote. Nine of the fifty-five also be-
longed to the latter class so that it
is claimed that a total of seventy three
names had no right on the petition.
The action Of the commissioners came
as something of surprise to the peo-
pie Of the whole county although they
had no reason to expect a decision enc
way or the other. One thing is cer-
tain. the fight has not ended yet and
the controversy is sure to go down
in the history of the local courts as a

Two Young Girls Picked Up
by Hammond Officers
and Held.
PARENTS CAN'T CONTROL EN-
Anna Smith Is a Pretty Girl and a
Singer of Much Talent
and Training.

One of the saddest cases OF Juvenile
delinquency that the police authorities
of Hammond have had brought to their
attention for some time. was seen at
the police station this morning.
Two young girls, one of them about
IA years of age, were picked up on
the street by policemen and brought
to the station where they were quizzed
by Chief Rimbach, Captain Austgen
and Judge W. w. Mcmahon as to their
conduct.
Girls of Tender Years.
The two girls were Lizzie Fleischer
and Anna Smith. Annie is by far the
younger of the two girls. and her case
is perhaps the more pitilable of the
two.
Annie Smith is pretty girl possessed
of more than ordinary vivacity. She is
the daughter of a couple living on Doty
street and her father is a talented mu-
sician.
The police were asked yesterday by
the girls parents to pick her up If
possible.
Away from Home for Days.
They declared that she had not been
home for several days. Anna was
found in the company of the Fleischer
girl, whose parents live on May street,
