LITTLE GIRL ATTACKED
Employee of Glue Works
Pounced Upon by Brute
Who Escaped.

But for the pluck of a little bit of a
girl who lives In RobertsdnIe, Ham
mond escaped the disgrace of another
assault upon helpless femininity. The
girl wns attacked yesterday morning
cn the Terminal tracks by a ruffan
who appeared to be a foreigner. The
police knew nothing of the attack and
consequently the aend escaped.
The little girl who so braveIy de-
Tended herself was on Iser way to work,
she being employed IN the Hammond
Glue Works. Coming from her home
I'm Robertsdale, she left the street cnr
west toward the factory. Being half
way there she met stranger who was
coming from the opposite direction.
TRIED TO DISGUISE HIMSELF.
His sIoucf hnt was pulled far over
his eyes and before he passed her he
seemingly stepped out of her way. As
she passed him, however, he attempted
to get q strangIe hold on her neck, but
tae girl, with vicious blow, slapped
him In the face and ran away screaming
ut the top of her voice. BY the time
most beside herself with fear. She
could hardly tell her terrible expert
ence but finally stammered out that she
yvas assailed by an unknown man and
asked that she be protected-not only
she, but all the girls who have to go
to the plant.

Central Building Visited by
Patrons of Schools on

PUPILS DO REMARKABLE WORK
Superintendent G. N. Mcdaniel ani
Corps Of Teachers Are TO Be
Praised for Exhibition

The annual exhibition of the work
of the public schools began I'm the
schools of Hammond, having opened
this noon and 1T will close next Thurs
day evening. Those who have already
seen the work are unanimous in say
ing that fhe exhibition il so good that
no parent or friend of the school can
cfFord to miss the opportunity of see
ing this work. One school presents
enough for anybody to spend day
there and even passing glance can
not fail but leave a permanent impress
sion.
There is an exhibition in every build
ing in the city and all the school work
from the general work to the minutest
detail are shown. To pass through one
of the buildings is like going through
the educational department in some
big fair. The work exhibited is nicely
ordered and so presentably arranged
that it is with reluctance that one
turns away when attracted by some
thing else.
The exhibition is one in every sense
of the word and is the highest compli-
ment to the school trustees, Superin-
tendent C. M. Mcdaniel and the eff
cient corps of teachers
Teachers Proud of Work.
The teachers have WED with each
other in laying out the work in the
most presentable manner and they will
visit each others schools Wednesday
and Thursday, with an idea of gain
Ing suggestions from the various ex-
hibitions.

HUNT IS FINALLY SUCCESSFUL
Roy Hamer Entertains Senior Clas:
at One Of Functions Of Com
mencement Week.

A chase by trolley all over the Calumet
region in which the senior class of the
Hammond high school was pursued by
the sophomores and juniors who desired
to carry out the annual custom of SER
anading the outgoing class, was one of
the unsual features of the commence
ment week.
1t is the annual custom for the lower
classes in the high school to serana6
the seniors and the upper class Is ex-
pected. in return. to divide up their re-
freshments at the party which is given
at the home of one of the seniors, the
location of which is a secret.
Get Next TO the Secret.
The juniors and sophomores learned
last night that the senior class party
was to be given that evening. They
did not know just where, but they
suspected that it was somewhere on the
north side.
About $40 in the evening the senior
class divided. Some of them went to
the home of Roy Hamer on the north
side by way of the South Chicago line
and others went by way of East Chi
cago, Whiting and Forsythe to the
same destination.
During all of this time the juniors
and sophomores were frantic in their
| efforts to locate the willy upper class
men. They had received a straight tip
that the seniors were in Robertsdale
and so a party left Hammond on one
of the short line cars to see If this was
true.
AS they reached point on Sheffield
avenue little beyond the C. & J tracks
car whisked by, bound for Hammond
and it was noticed that there were q
number of seniors on it.
Returned to Hammond.
| This furnished the first reliable clew
to the searchers and as soon as the car
reached the White House the sopho-
mores and juniors got off and took the
next car back to Hammond.
Before they did this. however, they
telephoned to Bicknelfs drug store
where they informed their visiting
classmates that the seniors were or
their way back to Hammond.
| 1t was later found that the seniors
I had left their car at Gostlin street and
it was then foregone conclusion that
they had gone to Roy Hamer's home.
Roast the Seniors.
| 1t was not long before all of the
lower classes were surrounding the
Hamer home, and they then proceeded
to serenade the sly and foxy seniors
Their efforts to provide for the enter
tainment were not rewarded in the
usual manner, however. for the students
who will graduate this June did not
offer to divide UP the refreshments.
| This was great disappointment tc
the seranaders and they secured their
revenge by forgetting their songs and
substituting roasts instead. The chase
and discovery of the seniors will. how
ever. not be forgotten very soon and ii
was as exciting as could well be i'm
/ agined.

CLAIMS A ROBBERY
Robert Gordon Says He is a

Break in His House.

Robert Gordon, who lives on Oakley

mark for thieves.
Gordon, who is carpenter. reported
at the police station this morning that
thieves entered his house on Sunday
night and after ransacking 1t and turn
ing everything topsy-turvy got away
with-well Robert says he doesn't know
what they stole.
This is the third time that Gordon's

ment was adopted. The teachers are

children before this method was adopt
ed and some of the work done by the
pupils in using the muscular move

Hall Turned Into Art Gallery.
There is an exhibition in the hall
way of the Central school building
which in itself is worth while to see.
The hall has been turned into a regu-
lar art gallery, the walls being hung
with pen drawings and water colors
made by the pupils of the school. The
paintings are all good and worthy of
mention, but there are a few that will
draw more than passing comment.
They are two wafer colors by Hedwig
Thume, both pictures which are ele
gantly framed are sceneries and look
like the work of finished artist.
Another excellent specimen of fine
work is a head of bulldog by Hol-
lis Hunter A water color by Mark
Tobey is drawing considerable men
tion. The other drawings, however
are equally as good and just as WORTHY
of mention.
The teaching corps extends a hearty
invitation to all to visit the schools

PEARL HARBOR
SPECIFICATIONS

The specifications for the dredging
of the channel from the open sea to
the site of the new naval station
which is to be built at Pearl Harbor
are in this city and are naturally OF
a great deal OF interest. While the
amount of money now available for
Pearl Harbor work is but S3S5 900. 1t
is probable that the contract which
will be awarded shortly after the op-
ening of bids in Washington on De-
cember l, will be e'.out upward or
$2,500,000 and may reach as high as
$3,500,000 or even more.
This fact is of a good deal of in
terest here for if the contract was let
simply on the basis of the present ap-
preparation of $3S5,OOO it would mean
that there would probably be several
bidders from this city. On the other
hand, with the immense amount of ca
pital which will needed to put through
such a job, the bond for which will
be thirty per cent of the total con-
tract, it means that all the smaller
men will be squeezed out and that
only the largest dredging firms in the
United States will have an opportun-
ity to get in on the work. The OBJ
tanning of bond for 81, 900 900 or
more is in itself matter which is
rather hard for any except the old ana
we'll established firms which have the
best of financial backing.
The specifications provide that the
channel shall be dredged from the
site of the new naval station to the
open sea and that it shall be not less
than 600 feet in width and 35 feet in

hundred miles or so and a thousand
miles or more.
So the picking up of strange sparks,
from he knows not where, does not
prove to the Barbers Point operator
or to anybody the whereabouts of the
Pacific fleet, If they were indeed ves-
sells of the armored cruiser squadron
talking.
Up to noon today the Naval wireless
had received nothing by wireless, but
there is a well substantial impression
that the Naval authorities have re-
ceived cable Information from Wash
ington which may explain the reason
of the feet not arriving here on sche-
dule.
The effect on the community of the
non arrival of the fleet as per sche-
dule is interesting. There is no END
to the rumors that were flying about
last night and this morning and It is
known that private inquiries have been
cabled Washington as to the date OF
arrival here, for there are many in
this city who have gone to expense to
prepare themselves for the return or
the fleet.

kRVWfN~
The Supervisors last night received
from the Board of Education protest
against the big labor camp going up
opposite Kaahumanu school, in Makiki,
and tonight the Kaahumanu Improve
ment Club will hold another meeting
at the residence of T. j. King, to con-
slider further steps in the matter. ... d.
The club by It's president, Col. Nc
Carthy has begun the prosecution of
the contractors for open violation of
the ordinance passed by the supervi-
sors, and the case comes up tomorrow.
When the building was continued in
open defiance of the law, the matter
was brought to the attention of Sheriff
Iaukea, but he declined to act unless
someone swore out a warrant, where
upon Mccarthy did so. There was
much adverse comment among the
members of the club over the police
authorities stand in the matter.
Gangs of Japanese are at work today
as usual, in spite of law prohibiting
it, and the arrest of two contractors.
The law has received no more atten-
tion from the contractors than if It
had never been passed at all. A for
NAL prohibition of their work, by an
ordinance of the County Board of Sup
ervisors, didn't stop them for five min
utes.
The shacks going up are worse than
was anticipated. They consist of long
floors, or platforms, on which are rows
of small one-story double suits OF
rooms, The buildings are just like
those provided under the Republic for
Iwilei stockade. 1t is directly op-
posite the biggest public school and

Judging by the temper of Makiki citi-

test before any such buildings are al
lowed to be completed, not to speak ol
their occupancy. Many property own

Agitation over the non-appearance
of the Pacific fleet increases as it con-
tinues to overstay its schedule, though
it is now believed that the Naval Sta
tion is in receipt of cabled informa-
tion from Washington which would
throw some, light on the situation il
revealed.
Last night, between eight and nine
o'clock, the wireless operator at Bar
ber's Point, listening for possible
communications from the fleet, Heard
two or three ships talking with each
other, but he did not catch their sig
natures and they may have been the
transport Thomas, coming from the
coast, and the S. S. Hilonian, coast
ward bound exchanging messages.
Still, Barbers Point would be less
likely to hear from the coast direc-
ton than from the direction of the
fleets supposed whereabouts The op-
orator is inclined to believe that they
were two or three vessels of the Paci-
fic fleet talking among themselves.
Had it not been for unforeseen in
reference the Barber's Point operator
would have been able to read what
was being said between the men-or-
war, but some young men with anna
teur wireless of their own were ex-
perimenting and learning to send and
receive and butting in on the Naval
Station wireless, so that the amateur
and Naval Station talk crowded out
the distant and somewhat faint sparks
of the unknown ships conversing. 10
night the amateurs will stay off the
airline and If they were the ships OF
the fleet last night talking, Barbers
Point will tonight very likely pick
them up.
Expert Isbell, at Kahuku, last night
heard nothing from the fleet. He was
receiving messages from the >. S. Hi
lonian, at distance of about 4OC
miles, but heard nothing outside that
1t is the impression of the BARRIERS
Point operator that the sparks of the
ships he heard talking had been re-
duced, but of this he is not certain
What he heard may have been at q
distance of anywhere between two
