CITY MAY
YET G|IE
FRANCHISE
If City Council Wants Indi-
ana and Chicago to Come
in City Any Way, Board Of
Public Works Said to Be
Willing.

There is again hope that the city
may land the Indiana and Chicago Trac-
tion company as an additional interur-
ban without much more delay. A com
promise came from the board of public
works this morning when that body
told Attorney w. J. Riley. who repre-
sents that company. that it is willing
to act according to the sentiment of the
city council. and that if at the next
meeting that body is willing TO let the
company come in without compelling
the company to use the loop-this
proposition now forming the bone of
contention-the board will be willing to
sign the franchise and pass it up TO
the city council for formal action.
strong Supporter of SchIoer.
This compromise is largely due to the
change in Peter l. Davis. one of the
board members. He has given the
strongest support to Jacob SchlOer, who
wants to force the company TO come
around the loop. but he is taking the
position that it might be letter to let
the company in than lose an interur-
ban. and he is willing to act in accord
ance with the wishes of the city coun-

Mr. Riley was at the board meeting

chise will not be held up any longer.

tea salesman, took fright and dashed

ued their wild fight missing by no
more than two feet a baby cab con-
tanning the infant child of Professor
and Mrs c. 2. Holway. and taking a
long chance on wrecking the Pennsyl-
vania Flyer, which was due a few
minutes later.
The runaways were not stopped un-
til one of them fell injured internally
on the Pennsylvania tracks. while they
were dashing madly over the ties and
rails The horse was put aboard a
hay rack and taken to Hammond where
it will probably die.
Neither Mr. or Mrs. Miller were SER
iously injured, though both would un-
doubtedly have been manned of not
killed outright had it not been for the

HOTEL IS UNDER
POLICE SCRUTINY
Police Believe That Maine Is
Most Loosely Conducted
in Respects.

In spite of the fact that the Maine
hotel is notorious as most loosely
conducted hotel, it will be impossible
for the Hammond police to proceed
against the management
The law makes it necessary for the
police to prove that the management
has guilty knowledge Of the improper
uses to which the rooms of the hotel
are being put before they can be con-
victed.
While there is no question in the
minds of the police that the place has
morality it is impossible for them to
secure a conviction.
ANY other hotel has a main entrance
leading to a lobby, where the guests
must sign a register before they car
secure room and through which al
of the guests, men and women. must
go before they can reach their rooms.
In the Maine hotel the register is
| kept in the restaurant. and instead o1
having an entrance through the restau
| rant. there are three entrances from the
| outside of the hotel.
Can't Police Entrances.
1t is impossible to have a polic'
officer at each of these entrances, and
when young man rents room h
may approach it from any one of thre
entrances In this manner it is i'm
possible for the police to capture ev
cry person whom they may suspect o
| wrongdoing.

 Mir. Mcclure did not go into any further details. but it is understood that influential men and women, all pledged to secrecy, are at work upon for the sinews of war.
 MT. Mcclure stated that all that has been published about the white slave" traffic gives only a hint of it's actual horrors. As he spoke he fingered some sheets of the government report on the white slave" traffic containing matter much too terrible he said. to print. He read extracts to show how the business was organized. with clubs to which the procureurs belonged and he quoted some advice given to an embryo procureur by an old hand. It was to the effect that under all cir cumstances the slaves must be made to obey, the obedience being exacted by all sorts of physical violence
 Tt is shown by this report" said Mir. Mcclure, that one house of pros titution in Chicago, with seventeen girls. made profit of $102,0O0 a year The annual revenue from the traffic in the United States is estimated at s300.000.000. and is probably much higher"
 The chairman, Professor Robert Er- skine Ely, corroborated what the speaker had said about the vastness of the traffic.
 There are those who have been say ing that all this talk about the white slave traffic is mere sensationalism," he said. "but I have seen the govern ment report, and I know that the half has never been told and never can be told"
