COMPANY WANTS ALL;
NOTHING IN RETURN
Alderman Snow Balks at
Desired Franchise Of Ken
sington and Eastern.
CITY DAD CALLS IT A BIG GRAB
Action on Request Will Probably Not
Be Taken Untid Council Convenes
After Summer Vacation.

Under the name of the Kensington
& Eastern, the Illinois Central railroad
is now trying to get a franchise to
operate a steam and electric line
through South Chicago territory from
Pullman to the state line. The ordi-
nance. as it has been prepared. gives
the company all and the people few
rights.
Alderman Snow, who is at the head
of the subcommittee in charge of this
matter. has stated that he and his COM
mittee will never submit to the ordi-
nance in its present form on the
grounds that if they did it would be
one of the biggest franchise grabs ever
given in the Calumet region
What should Be Asked For
Here are a few things that should be
demanded before the franchise is
passed:
A suburban depot at Kensington.
The dedication of Front street as a
public thoroughfare.
Gates and gateman at One Hundred
and Thirteenth street.
| Improvement Of the other crossings
nearby One Hundred and Thirteenth
streets.
| The assurance that all interurban
cars stop at the Kensington station.
! Council Takes Vacation First.
/ The franchise asks the people of the
ward for everything, not guaranteeing
them anything. In one place it hints
that the cars will stop at Kensington
and that a station will be erected, but it
does not specify this as guaranteed
fact.
The franchise will probably not be
granted until after the vacation of the
council members and the meantime it is
up to the progressive residents of the
Thirty-third ward TO take some action
towards getting recognition from 1he
Illinois Central road.

tive to the treatment of the horse fol-
lowed. In the meantime Marshal Bel
shaw stepped up to the men and no.
ticing the outline of a revolver in the
hip pocket of Atwood. asked him
about it, Atwood denied having the
gun. but Belshaw reached into his
pocket and pulled the gun out. He put
the man under arrest forthwith and
a trial was given him Immediately
hartman then swore out a warrant for
his arrest on the charge of cruelty to
animals.

HOSPITAL CONTRACTS
FWARDED TO BIDDERS
Strong Rivalry For the
Carpenter Work-Local
Nan Gets It.
TT UT.-.. TO Sc MODERN
VIII Have Feature That viii Stand
rs the Only One Of It's Kind
in America.

Inc ground for South Chicagos new
$4,000 hospital viii be started within
the next two weeks, as the contracts
have been let and the majority signed
up last n sht in the Office of T. w.
Fischer in the Davis building.
The strongest rivalry seemed to be
for the carpenter work, which was
awarded to William Schoening, 1O52O
Terrence avenue. His figures were
s6.O55- Next came A. II. Hansen,
$4,000 and P. 0. Peterson with a bid
of $500. Other bids We're received
from different contractors throughout
the city. but We're considerable higher
than that Of the local men, all of whom
We're within s200 of each other.
Six Contracts Are Let.
The contracts that were let were
given to the following parties:
Roofing contract awarded to Will
liam Schoening.
Cement work contract, awarded to
Joseph Kohlhof and Sons.
Sheet metal work, awarded to Max
Hempel.
Painting contract, awarded to James
Johnson.
Mason work to John Bonickson.
Plastering contract awarded to Geo.
Young
Owing to some dispute regarding the
letting of the heating. plumbing and
lighting contracts they viii not be
awarded until the last of the month.
The new hospital will be constructed
of brick throughout with Bedford
stone trimming
The interior will be of hardwood fin
ish and Will present a very neat APP
pearance. The building will be two
stories high with basement IS by 95-
The first floor Will contain three
large private wards, examining room
reception parlors and an office for the
physicians.
The second floor will contain one
large ward and ten private wards, also
an operating room, cleaning room, an
aesthetic room, sterilizing room and q
doctors dressing room.
Modern Appliances.
Both floors viii be equipped with the
latest modern appliances that are ne
cessary for an up to date institution
One feature of the new hospital viii
be the inclined passage-way from the
first to the second floor. 1t will ex
tend about half the length of the build
ing at a p per cent grade, which VII
enable the nurses to wheel patients t.
the second floor, the carriage being ad
justed to a horizontal position
This device alone, it IS estimated
will save at least $500 which would ap
proximately be the amount expended
for maintaining an elevator if the in
clined passageway had not been de
cided upon. The South Chicago hospi
tai will be the only one in Americ;
that can boast of this unique device
At present it is used exclusively il
English and German hospitals and i
was from the plans of a German hos
pital that Mr.. Fischer received tn
idea of merging it in the local insti
tuition while drawing the plans.
The old hospital will not be aban
doned but will be used as a nurses
dormitory.

GARY REALTY BOARD
HOLDS MEETING
Real Estate Dealers Put on
the Grill and Bitter Fight
May Result.
SIFT CHARGES TO THE BOTTOM
Some of the Leaders Of the Board Left
Organization Because of Dissen-
sion Among the Members.

A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the real estate board will be held
this afternoon and matters of great
Importance may be discussed At the
last regular meeting month ago the
executive committee was appointed a
regular committee TO investigate any
charge that might be made against any
real estate dealer whether or not he is
a member of the board. 1t is likely
therefore tha: the committee meeting
has been called for that purpose this at
ternoon.
A number of bitter charges have been
made by dealers against each other for
some time and now that they have an
opportunfty it is assured that the fighc
will be warm and bitter. Heretofore the
board has never taken up the various
charges and sifted them TO the bottom,
and then taken action against party if
found guilty For this reason the
board has become meaningless factor
in the real estate business because of
the fact that any one, no matter what
his methods might be, could become
member of the board and the member
ship, therefore gave them no prestige.
In the past there has been much dis
sension between the members. such
large dealers as Harry King & Co,
severing their connection with the or
ganiation. 1t is thought now that
since the members have resolved upon
a general cleaning that more interest
will be taken in the organization than
heretofore.
Board May Expel Them.
| 1t is thought that they viii take ad-
vantage of the committee of investi-
CATION to prefer charges his afternoon
on certain members of the board. If
lthey are found guilty the board will not
stop at expelling them from the board
If they are members, but they will
attempt to stop them from doing bust
ness Several crooked dealers in the
city have tended to injure the large ma
jority of honest men by their methods
of business.

The amateur wrestling game received
a great boost last evening at the Y. NJ

club OF this association pulled off its first
tournament. II differed from the many
professional bouts that have been held in
Salt Lake in the past inasmuch as the
taking part of wrestling was left out and
the men won on their merits. The bouts
were held under amateur rules which call
for a decision at the end of one siX-nin-
ute round if possible, in which the ag-
gressiveness OF one OF the contestants de-
Scides bout in his favor in case there

Perhaps the best match of the even

agreed to WTestle two thTee-minute rounds
extra. Although referee Mike Yoke could
not give decision at the end of these
rounds, Macke came near getting a fab

Yoke gave the decision on the strength
of this showing.

class put up a great match and Dad man
