act of cutting the window when the
dog which was in the house jumped

Mr.. Mahoney was awakened by the
crashing glass and got up, just in time
to see the robber, half running and half
limping away. Although two police

JUDGE IS AFTER RECORD
Police Magistrate Hits Up
Fast Pace in His Court
Yesterday.

Disposing Of thirty -four criminal
cases in less than seventy minutes, or
averaging about one minute and half
for each case was the record made yes
terday by Judge Stephen Foster. who
now presides at the local branch of the
Municipal court.
Since Fosters advent in the local
court he has handled cases with such
quickness and despatch that he has
gained the title of SPEEDY Foster" and
after watching the manner in which he
wades through the criminal docket each
morning he is certainly deserving the
title.
With Judge Foster it is, state the
facts of the case clearly quickly and
without necessary words" With these
directions the prisoner and the officer
in the case both state their sides and
after hearing the evidence the prisoner
is either discharged or given a fine.
When Judge A. ]. Petit came to the
local court last January the court at
taches thought that he was quick but
Judge Foster has taken away his
laurals along these lines.

REROUTING OF STREET
CARS INVOLVEMENT
East Side Residents Say
They Are Shamefully
Neglected.
ROBY LINE IS ABANDONED
Petition Being Circulated to Retain
Yellow Cars-Red Line Is Slow
and Crowded.

Residents and property owners of the
East Side are vigorously protesting
against the street car service they are
now getting. since the rerouting of the
lines which took effect the first of June
Among the disadvantages they now
have to contend with is the absolute
discontinuance of the old time Roby
line which. before the change run on
a ten minute schedule. The greater
part of the East Side population is in
the district which the line traversed
and as a result patrons of the lobe are
compelled to take the Hammond and
East Chicago cars and by doing this it
Is necessary to walk a number of
blocks in order to board these cars.
Want yellow Line.
What the East Side residents want
is 70 have the Roby yellow line again
put into commission and they say that
If such thing is possible it will be
done.
Petitions have been flooded in all sec
rapidly securing the signatures of the
property owners, when the petitions
have been filled they will be sent to
the office of the Calumet and South
Chicago electric railway company and
also to the local aldermen, John H.
Johnes and P. H. Moynihan. Already
the matter has been brought to the at
tention of the local aldermen and they
have promised their aid in getting the
old line restored.
Causes Protest.
The Roby line which was discon-
tinued the first of June ran from Sixty
third street and Stony Island avenue to
Roby, since the first of June the yellow
line cars have been switched around in
such a manner that the East Siders
never see their favorfte cars and this
fact alone is causing the travelling
pubic to raise their hands in protest.
During the reign of the Roby line
passengers who boarded the car on the
East Side were given a ten minute
service between Roby and South Chi
cago now that they are compelled to
take the Red cars it takes in the neigh
borhood of twenty-five minutes, and
one passenger said yesterday that it
took over half an hour to get from
Roby to Ninety second street and Com
mercial avenue.
Another thing the East Siders alIege
in their petition is that since the dis
continuance of the Yellow line the
Hammond and Whiting cars are crowd
ed to su~h an extent that it is next to
impossible to secure a seat during the
morning, noon or evening hours.

WILL GET AFTER
The MONON RY.
Hammond Business Mems
Association to Ta-.e a
Trip to Chicago.
WILL See PRES. W. M'DOEL
Leading Business VIII Bring In
huence to Bear Regarding New
Station for Hammond.

Today supreme effort will be made
by the members of the civic committee
OF the Hammond Business Mems assoc
citation to induce the Monon railroad to
build new depot in Hammond.
The committee which is composed Of
John F. Fitzgerald w. H. Gostlin, A. M.
Turner, ]. H. GIennon and E. F. Johns
ton will make an appointment with
President McDoel of the Monon railroad
for conference and the needs of Ham
mond will be thoroughly gone over.
THE TIMES will furnish a series OF
photographs of the various depots IN
Hammond in order to show what the
other roads are doing in the hope Of
inducing the president of the Monon to
take the matter up and carefully con-
slider it.
Don't Expect Direct Answer.
1t is not expected that Mr. McDoeI
will give direct answer to the committee
tomorrow but it is hoped that he may
be sufficiently interested in Hammonds
needs to give the matter some atten-
ton.
E. F. ohnston will take with him a
letter fom the Monon officials written
several years ago in which Hammond
was promised a better depot. This VIII
be shown to Mr.. McDoel and he will
be asked at this late day to make good
the promise of the road.
The Monon does large freight bust
ness in Hammond and has large inter
ests in the south part of the city. where
its yards are located. These facts will
all be brought out and the company
will be shown that it has received a
great many favors from the hands of
the Hammond people and have given
nothing in return.
Hammond Is the Only One.
Hammond is the only station between
here and Chicago which has not been
favored with fine new depot of Bed
ford stone with the exception of the
station at Hegewisch.
Yesterday the local depot was re-
rooted which is taken as an Indication
that there is, at this time, no intention
on the part of the road to build a new
station.
