While Owner of Camp Cuneo Pre-

and Robbed

One of the most extraordinary safe

Calumet region, was carried out this
morning ut Camp Cuneo, an Italian
fisherman's stand at the Lake Front
park in Hammond.
Two men and one woman seated in
It six seated automobile drove up to
the camp about 5:45 this morning and
ordered breakfast. CuneO took the or

pare 1t. The two men in the car busted
themselves about the machine and later
came into the camp. leaving the wOm-

Hundreds of guests had stopped at
Camp Cuneo before and the party of
this morning was not the first to cause
any special attention. The two men
after spending few minutes around
their machine came into the camp and
made thmeslves at home, while the
fisherman went about his work pre-
pairing the order. He was in the

| About 15 minutes from the time that
the guests had arrived Cuneo heard a
muffled sound in the kitchen and rush

he found his safe sprung open and
rified. He had forty dollars in it and
this they carried off The two fellows

the throttle wide open and sped down

Dumfounded by the bold action OF

Chicago, Lake Shore & South
Bend Railroad Want
Another Franchise.
COMPANY IS AFTER ENTRANCE
May Come on Holman Street, Either
From Russell Street or at
Plummer Avenue.

The board of public works is in pos
session of a "feeIer' from the Chicago
Lake shore and South Bend interurban
railway company relative to an
trance into the city with feeder line
TO connect with the main line which
already runs through Hammond.
The board has been in the possess
sion of the 'feeler' which is drawn
up in the way of a franchise, for some
time, but has as yet taken no action
and may not do so for some time to
come. The street car company is not
pressing the matter very strenuously
at present being busted with the com
pletion with the main line, which it
has promised to have in operation by
Aug. l.
The chances for the interurban's en-
trance into Hammond with a feeder
or local accommodation line are most
promising.
Branch to Main Line.
The company proposes to build a big
brancr line beginning at Gary and go
ing into Toleston, from there through
Hammod, and connecting again with
the main line near the state line on
Gostlin street To carry cut tlis
scheme for transportation the company
has already begun to build the branch
from Gary toward Tolleston and has
secured a franchise through that town
to it's western corporation limits, which
brings the road up to Gibson.
The "feeler" that is in possession OF
the Hammond board OF public works
now asks for a continuation of the
branch through Tolleston and to enter
Hammond over what is generally
known as the Long road but whict
was recently named Summer street
| The company viii ask for one of the
two routes, the first crossing Holman
street at Russell street and the sec
ond a Plummer avenue The ffrs1
route lies over the following streets
over Summer street to Carol, to May
on May street to Fayette, on Fayettt
street to Russell. on Russell street tc
State Line, on State Line to Gostlin
where the feeder connects with TIL,
main line
The second route lies over Summe-
street to Plummer avenue and on th'
latter street across Holman street
thence over private right of way nortl
to where the line connects with th'
main line.
At the same time the company vii
ask for north and south street. thi
to be Kennedy avenue or Oakley ave
nue. or Columbia avenue.
There are quite a number of othe
provisions in the proposed franchise
all of which will be gone over by tn
board when the matter once come
up for official discussion.

FIERCE NOISE is
TO Be STOPPED
Screeching and Grinding of
Cars to Cease According
to An Official.
COMPANY TRIES TO Be RIGHT
Times Crusade Against Noisy Street
Cars Results In Promises
Being Made.
COMPANY TRIES TO Be RIGHT

The street car company has decided
to put the muff1er on the street cars
which ply between East Chicago and
the Standard Steel Car settlement. This
is but one of the steps which Manager
Green has taken to remove the casus
belli between the people Of Hammond
and the street car company.
1t is understood that the awful
grinding sound which caused when the
cars start and when they are under
power is caused by the lack of gear
bands. whatever that means.
The old company evidently thought
that it would be easier to tell the peo-
pie of Hammond to go to warmer
climate than it would be to buy and
put on the gear bands.
The present company is trying to do
the right thing and Manager Green and
his predecessor Mr.. Matson, who in
augurated the reforms seem to be the
most human of any of the officials
who have ever been connected with the
company.
Run without Gear Bands.
Mr.. Green said yesterday, TT will not
be long before the street cars on South
Holman street will be running as nois-
lessly as automobiles. 1t is shame
that the cars have been allowed to go
this long without gear bands and I
am going to see that the defect is
remedied."
1t must be admitted that this line OF
talk coming from an official of the
Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago
street railway company sounds pretty
good 1t is rather unreal and uncanny
! in view of the experience of the people
Of Hammond for the past ten years
with President. Cameron but II the
pubic will rub its eyes it can see that
! it is not dreaming.
| Manager Green is making a great
success as a traffic master and 1t is
said that the cars are being run bet
ter than ever before. Whenever he
frds that there is a crowd bound for
/ any particular point on his line he
sees that there are cars enough tc
handle them.
It has been decided to abadon the
band concerts on the lake front Sat
urday evenings for the reason that the
people stay in the city to do Their
shopping but the concerts on Sundays
will be continued and the crowds which
go to hear them are larger than ever

Hundreds of people who have been
seeing the pictures of the Cans Nelson
fight which appeared first in the Colon
ial Theater and afterwards in the five
cent theater on State street and have
been of the opinion that they were the
real thing will be surprised to know
that they are not the pictures of the
real fight at all and that the principals
are not even Cans and Nelson. No less
a person than Battling Nelson himself
informed a TIMES reporter al Hegewisch
last night
Some of the wise fight fans in the city
began to get suspicious yesterday af-
ternoon. Last night the subject of pol
itics was relegated to the background
and the burning question on the streets
was whether or not the pictures were
really of the fight which took place
July 4.
But the pictures are certainly a
beautiful fake. The first scene is that
of the vast audience which viewed the
contest Thousands of men are to be
seen and hundreds of others come in
and take their seats. Finally the fight
ers pass rapidly by, but it is noticeable
that there Is no excitement such as
would be sure to greet two such war
riors upon their entering the roped
arena.
! Many Thought 1t Bona Eide.
Those who have been arguing that
the picture is a bona fide one say, How
could you get together a crowd of such
enormous proportions just for the pur-
pose of taking some pictures?"
The answer is that the crowd was not
gotten together for that purpose. The
ball game and while the moving picture
man was making his hundreds of views
of the crowds the prize fighters clad in
their bathrobes passed in review just
to complete the deception.
Then the fight began with a ringside
view Again the real fight fans sees
something queer. The opponents are
not in opposite corners That is. they
are not in diagonally opposite corners
but in the corners on one side of the
ring. Everybody who ever saw a igh
knows that boxing contest is never
arranged in this manner.
The opponents always sit in diagon
ally opposite corners and approach eacl
other from them. But it order to max,
the pictures more interesting the fgh
takers had their contestants sit in tn,
corners opposite the photographing ma
chine so that their faces can NOR,
easily be seen.
Put Up Good MIL.
AS to the mill. there are five or si1

There can be no complaint as to these

FINDER NAIL SCRATCH
RESULTS IN DEATH

A short time ago you may have
read OF the remarkable case where
a simply scratch of the finger nail
caused death by blood poisoning. At
first it was only an annoying itch
caused by summer rash. This was
scratched by the finger nail to re-
lieve the itch, but the skin was torn
open, the irritation became worse
and finally resulted in fatal case OF
blood poisoning.
Do not scratch or fub the itch or
irritation caused by summer rash,
mosquito bites, hives, prickly heat or
any form of skin disease or itch, D.
D. D. Prescription, the best known
remedy for eczema and all forms of
skin disease, externally applied, will
at once stop the irritable itch. 1t
soothes and cools the skin and per-
manently cures the itch or disease.
Infants and children are saved many
hours of agony and torture from the
unbearable itch if few drops of
