START NEW BUILDING
Knickerbocker People to
Spend 100000 in
Hammond.

The KnfckerbOcker Ice company has
begun the work of constructing two
large ice houses In Hammond, which
Will involve the expenditure of $780,
900 and Will employ 500 men this
winter.
The work the large ice house,
which is to replace the one which was
burned to the ground some time ago,
has already begun. There are $50 men
employed and III. e. Granger, the busi-
ness agent of the Carpenters' union,
was securing Hammond today In order
to get enough men to hurry the work.
The company does not expect to have
the building completed by the time the
ice harvest is begun, but 1t will adopt
the novel policy of building the ice
house fast as it is filled and Will
winter Is over.
The building which was burned and
the one which will replace 1t, yvas on
the west side of the lake, but the Sec
opd new building Is to be on the east
side of the lake near the tracks of the
Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago
short line road.
The manner of constructing this
building will be the same as has been
adopted in the case of the other and
the walls of the new ice house will be
practically built up around the har-
vested ice.
These two buildings will add sew
eral thousands of dollars of taxable
property to that which the Knicker-
booker company already has in this re-
gion.

CRUMPA PACKER WANTS
REVISION DOWNWARD
Indiana Congressman Tells
President He Will Op-
pose 'StandpattisIn.'

Washington Nov 1S.-Representa-
tive Crumpacker, Indianas new rep
resentative on the ways and means
committee, has let 1t be known that
he is for unequivocal tariff revision.
He was at the White House today, and
told the president he intended to make
a strong resistance against "standpat-
ism when it came to framing a report
on the new tariff bill.
The hearings thus far have developed
a strong sentiment for protection
among the republican members of the
committee. Chairman Payne and
Messrs. Dalzell, Fordney and Needham
have been outspoken against disturb
ing schedules, and some of them have
advocated raising rates in some in
stances. Repres entative Gaines of
West Virginia has said that he would
resist lowering rates on coal. iron or
lumber.
The people at the recent election
voted for tariff revision, and they did
not understand when they voted that
revision meant merely readjustment,
said Judge Crumpacker today They
want revision downward not up
ward"

DIRECTORY MEN
ARE COMING
Hammond Will Be Invaded
By Canvassers For
New Directory.
WANT TO NUMBER HOUSES
Company Up Against Stiff Propo-
sition In Getting Correct
House Numbers.

The latter part of this week HAM
mond will be invaded by the directory
men. They will visit every house I'm
the city and will take "a regular census
of the town. The canvassers repre-
sent the Lake County Directory COM
pany and will begin the work of MAX
ing the most complete canvass of the
city that has ever been undertaken.
They have just completed their work
in Whiting, and Hammond and Gary
are the only cities in the county which
have not been covered. In Hammond
the company is up against a hard prop
osition.
Ordinance Has Been Passed.
An ordinance has been passed au-
thorizing the REMEMBERING of houses in
the city. Mr.. Powers, the manager of
the directory company, has been to see
the city officials, in the hope that the
changing of the numbers could be ac-
complished before the canvass of the
city is made
He has been unable to get any salts
faction from these officials, however.
and it now appears that the numbers
which go into the new directory will
have to be the old ones.
After the canvass the city officials
may get busy and change the numbers
and then the new directory, so far as
Hammond is concerned, will be about as
useless as a Montgomery Ward cata-
logue for the purpose of locating a per-
son.
In most of the other cities of the
county the directory company has been
given the greatest encouragement. The
project is recognized as being a worthy
one which will be boon to the busi-
ness men in every city.
Turn Deaf Ear to Him.
But in Hammond the city officials
have turned a deaf ear to the pleas of
the directory officials that the renum-
bering of the city be done at once, and
the same delay which has character
lied many municipal enterprises has
had to be put up with.
Unless the city does something in the
next day or two. the Hammond section
of the directory will be good only until
the city officials finally get around to
the work of compelling the renumber-
ing of the houses.
Mr.. Powers of the directory company
will take the contract for REMEMBERING
the houses, just as he did in Whiting,
and it can all be done in a few days If
the city officials will only give their
sanction to let him go ahead.

CLUB WILL ENTER
THE SOCIAL ARENA
Lincoln J efferson Club Law
Club Will Give Smoker
Next Wednesday.
MEMBERS Of FACULTY APPROVE
Good Fellowship Will Reign at Gath
ering and Attendance Will
Be Large.

The Lincoln efferson Law club, COM
posed of the student of the college, is
about to shay it's castor into the So
cial ring and after its debut on Thanks
giving Eve. it will take a permanent
place in the social life of the com
munity. Its events during the year,
however, are to be few but elaborate.
AS a beginning, an invitational
smoker will be given next Wednes-
day evening under joint auspices of
the college and the club. and arrange
ments are being made for the enter
tainment of a representative body of
men in Hammond.
The members of the faculty who are
as much interested in the social side
of their students as in the educational
have promised to be present, and this
coupled with the presence of local
lights gives the club the assurance
that the gathering will have that af-
f1atus, which will be productive of an
intellectual treat seasonsed with good
fellowship.
Club Members to Invite Friends.
The college has left the invitational
end of it in the hands of the club, and
each member has given assurances that
he has number Of friends whom he
would make better acquainted with the
college, its personel and it's aims. This,
however, does not mean that the Wis
itors will be bored with many talks
in which they will not be interested.
On the contrary all formality will be
laid aside and good fellowship will be
uppermost.
The smoker will be held on the fifth
floor of the Hammond building, pro-
vided, however, that if the attendance
promises to be too large that some
other place will be chosen.
Instead of the proverbal keg of nails,
barrel of apples will be opened and
while the smoke of many cigars is curl
ing upward the first real college smok-
er which outsiders may attend because
of their invitations, will be on.

SIMPLEX GETS BUSY
Big Plant Begins the Grad
ing of Newly Acquired
Land.

The Simplex Railway Appliance
company has begun the grading of the
land which was recently purchased
from John E. Fitzgerald and lies
across from the Hammond Distilling
company.
Last summer the report gained
credence that the Simplex company
would build a large extension to its
was reported and the report was con-
firmed that the addition was to be in
the nature of a foundry.
The financial disturbance of a year
ago resulted in the holding of these
plans in allegiance, however, until con-
ditions became more favorable Many
Hammond people take the grading of
this property to mean that the Simplex
company is now going ahead with these
plans
Mr.. Thomas was interviewed about
the matter by a TINES reporter and
said that he was simply using some of
his idle men in this work and that the
activities were of no significance
He did not say specifically that the
work of building the new foundry
would not be undertaken in the near
future. but he said that the grading of
the land was simply to make it avail
able for use when the company is
ready to build.
Hammond real estate men are very
much interested, however, and they
say that if the company did not in
tend to use the ground in the near fu-
ture why would it not be the best plan
to let it lie idle just as it has been for
the past twenty years.
The wise ones say there will be
something doing on the Simplex prop
erty in the near future.

NEWS FOR
The FANS
Moving Spirit in Enterprise
Is William Powers of
Gary land.

That the cities of Hammond, Gary,
Hobart, LaPorte and Michigan City will
constitute what is to be known as the
Calumet District Base Ball league and
that there will be clubs organized in
The moving spirit I'm the enterprise
is John II. Powers of Gary, who Or
ganized the Wisconsin State league,
now considered one of the most thriv-
ing of the minor leagues in the country.
WILL BE WELCOME NEWS.
The news that the Calumet region is
to have league ball comes as thriller
to the baseball fans all over the dis
trict. In each of the above mentioned
cities there will be baseball clubs or
ganized, grounds will be secured, play
ers will be signed. a schedule of games
will be played and before the coming
summer is over thtere will not be a
fan in the district who will not be in
the throes of a heated championship
series.
POWERS IS EXPERIENCED.
As an indication that Mr.. Powers is
not a dabbler in the baseball business.
it should be known that he not only
organized the Wisconsin State league.
but he was the president of it for two
years and received great praise from
fans all over the state because of his
ability in making the venture a sue
cess.
Mr.. Powers has looked over the To-
cal field and sees great possibilities for
a league team here. The cities of the
Calumet district are so close together
that the cost of transporting the teams
from one to another will be reduced to
a minimum.
NEARLY ALL ON INTERURBAN.
Most of the cities in the proposed
league are on the line of the Chicago,
Lake Shore & South Bend interurban
and that will insure quick and cheap
transportation.
A meeting of representatives from
all of the cities which will be repre-
sented in the league will be held in
Whiting Tuesday night and in addition
to the regular representatives from
the various cities anyone who is in
terested in the enterprise is invited to
attend.
At first the schedule will contain only
Saturday. Sunday and holiday games,
but as the cities grow and the inter
est in the sport becomes greater, it is
expected that games will be played on
most of the days of the week.
WILL INTEREST BEST ELEMENT.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Powers to
interest only the best element in the
various cities for the business and pro-
fessional men must be relied upon to
support the enterprise from the very
beginning. This will give the league
a standing and stability that could not
be assured in any other way.
Mr.. Powers is the author of a base
ball guide which is very similar to
the Spaulding guide and 1t proved so
popular that many large houses, which
dealt in sporting goods, had editions
of 5000 printed and circulated.
The baseball fans in Hammond, Gary
and Whiting, who have already talked
with Mr.. Powers. are convinced that he
is live proposition and it is expected
that next summer will see the organi-
cation of one of the finest little leagues
of baseball teams in the country

ATTORNEY MUCH BETTER
Peter Crumpacker Submits
to Operation Yesterday
in Chicago Hospital.

Word from the Augustana hospital
in Chicago today is 10 the effect that
Attorney Peter Crumpacker. who was
taken to Chicago yesterday to undergo
an operation, is resting easy today.
He was operated on late yesterday
afternoon, and came out of this ordeal
in good shape. He spent q good night,
and his condition today was better
than it had been for some time.
In the operation it was found that
the jaw bone had been affected by the
continued liberation, and it was ne
cessary to scrape the bone. His many
friends hope that he Will be able TO
be around soon. especially as he has
suffered excruciating pain for many
weeks
His condition is due to a complica-
tion of diseases which seemingly be-
gan with an liberated tooth.

BRILLIANT ORATOR HERE

Michael Foley, the brilliant Craw-
fordsville orator. was in Hammond last
evening. He is a members of the board
of pardons and had been to Michigan
City to hear the cases of several of the
prisoners there.
Mr.. Foley is one of the leading demo-
Gratis of Indiana. He has been i'm
portuned time and again to accept
the nomination for congress from his
district and If he had done so this time
he would have been elected
But Mr.. Foley invariably thrusts
away the crown and the extent of his
political activities is to make rousing
democratic speeches over the state
during the campaign.

LAY
IN The PATH
Of DEATH
Interurban Car Grinds Out
Life of Foreigner Who
Lies Sprawled Across the
Tracks at Gary-Is In
stantly Killed.

Liquor last night led Joseph Popich,
a Pole, So years old, to his death under
the wheels of the Gary and Interurban
street car, at Eleventh avenue and
Broadway. It was terrible death that
the man met, while resting his head on
his arm on the track, he watched the
car approach and run over his body
When the victim was killed he was
crazed with drink, and unable to rise
from the track. A dozen witnesses had
seen him but a few minutes before,
staggering back and forth on the side
walk; a bartender in saloon nearby
had just refused him another drink and
he staggered out through the door.
Shortly after a shout was heard, a
rush was made to the street, and the
mutilated body of the victim was
found
The motorman on the car, No. 101,
which struck him, was Robert Law,
although Walter Jujick, a student, held
the controller and the brake when the
man was run over. Law saw the limp
form stretched across the track when
the car was within thirty feet of him.
Instantly shutting off the power, he
yelled with all his might at the help
less man, and then stood back as the
car passed over him, and Rujick ground
the brakes against the wheels.
Death Not Premeditated.
If it were not for the fact that the
han was seen intoxicated the theory OF
suicide would be advanced, because of
the position in which he lay. His body
was directly across the track. his feet

For Next Sunday After
noon at Hammond.

This Season.
NEITHER HAS KNOWN DEFEAT

The football fans of Hammond will
see one of the best games of the sea-
son Sunday when the Iroquois line up

teams have not been defeated this sea-

expect to use some new ones on the
local team. If the weather is good this
game will be witnessed by more peo-
pie than any one ever played in Ham
mond.

choice of teams, either from Chicago
or from local towns.
