JUDGE CRUMPACKER
WANTS IT CHANGED
Believes That Government
Printing Should Be Done
BY Union Labor.

Washington, D. c., July 19.-Repre-
sentative Crumpacker is preparing a
resolution for a change in the regula-
tions governing government printing,
which is much demanded by the union
printers of the country. Mr.. Crum-
packers resolution will provide that all
government printing shall be done at
the government printing office.
At present certain executive officers
in their discretion may contract for
public printing at outside printing Of
fees. It is estimated that one-tenth
of the government printing work is
done by private firms. Some of these
establishments employ union labor and
others work "scabs." The unions are
in control at the governments big
printery. and for many years efforts
have been made by the union printers
to secure legislation such as Judge

TO each of the hotels at Cedar Lake

Judge Henderson OF the city court by
his attorney, George B. Sheerer, this
morning, and paid fine. amounting to
$26, for speeding through the city at a

The newest development in the case
was the taking of the doctors car from
a local garage. The car had been left
a the garage with the understanding
that 1t was to remain there until the
doctor had made settlement for the
damage he had done about town.
Yesterday DR.. Moore went to the gar

c., G. & L. Ry. Co. Is Reor-
ganized and Will Soon Be

FORECLOSURE PROCEEDING
Controlling Interests Hold Meeting
and VIII Draw Up New
Plans.

The fact that the Chicago, Cincin-

organized and taken out of the hands
of the receiver is of interest to the peo-
pie of Hammond. 1t may mean that
the company will be compelled to con-
struct the new depot which it promised
the city administration It would build If
it was permitted to cross certain
streets.
A New York dispatch is as follows:
New York, July 19.-Tne controlling
interests in the Chicago. Cincinnati &
Louisville, the 2S5-mile road forming
the shortest line between Cincinnati

ers' hands since February. 1908. have

100000, VIII be paid of; also the $780,
600 floating debt. The holders of the
sS,154,000 underlying and first mortgage
bonds will probably get par in cash
How the $3,061, 600 second mortgage
bonds will fare is at this time problem
atical. In some quarters 1t is said that
that they will get about so per cent in
cash. A member Of the controlling
syndicate says. however, that they will
get more At the same time the assess
ment on the stock viii not be so great
as to destroy Its value.
According to this syndicate member,
II. B Hollins & Co. and their asso-
ciates have bought the Chicago, Cincin-
natl & Louisville because they thought
we'll Of its future and were able to get
II cheap. They have at present no in

STRIKE IS
CURRENT

The report that there is a strike on
among the structural iron workers of
the Standard Steel Car company is de-
MED at headquarters and Manager H.
B. Douglas said today that the only
possible foundation for such a rumor
is the fact that four or FIVE of the
structural iron workers quit
The alleged strike is said to have
occurred Saturday morning, and one re-
port Is to the effect that all OF the men
employed on the new buildings have
quit,
Mr.. Douglas explained the fact that
a few men had quit by s4ying that
were men who had proven by their
work that they were not worth any
more than they were getting
The workingmen explained that they
were working for 35 cents an hour and
were striking for 564 cents. the regu-
lar scale. J. z. Tennis Of the CoIum
bia hotel in Hammond is the spokes-
man for the men who are out He says
that thirteen of the iron workers are
out.

INTERESTS
ARE VARIED
Owner Of Local Plants Is
Coming to Be Known as
One of Most Successful
Promoters in Gas and
Electric Properties.

That c. H Geist, the organizer of the
Northern Indiana Gas and Electric com
panyr is coming to be considered one
Of the most successful promoters in
the west, is shown by the following
estimate of him which has been print
ed in one of the Philadelphia papers:
The purchase Of the Wilmington
(Del) Gas and Electric company by c.
H. Geist for s2,5Oo,00O calls attention to
a personality of increasing Importance
in the financial world and many ques-
tions have been asked as OF who Mr.
Geist is and what he has done.
Mr.. Geist's interests have been large
ly in gas and electric properties prin-
cipally in the middlewest, but he has
been successful in many deals in the
east Chicago real estate provided the
opportunity for the accumulation of a
fortune, and Mr.. Geist turned his at
tention to the gas business first in 1902
when he built and operated a gas plant
at Blue Island. III. Since that time he
has devoted himself almost exclusively
to that field.
Announcement was made last spring
of the purchase by Mr.. Geist of all the
gas and electric properties in northern
Indiana. extending. from the Chicago
city line to Michigan City both east and
west of Gary. and their consolidation
into the Northern Indiana Gas and
Electric company, an s8.000,O0o corpora
tion. The Wyoming Valley Gas and

or course, the Hammond people who
were damaged will be able to sue the
doctor should he refuse to settle their
claims, but in the case of "Frenchie"
Pollen suit Will be hardly worth the
$25 he claims.
The doctor offered to settle with Mr.
Brown, whose Sibley street building
was damaged when the car ran through
the front of it, and it Is understood
that the settlement is satisfactory to
Mr.. Brown, but DR.. Moore claimed that
Polen's claim for $40 damages was too
large when he could not see where
he had been damaged in the least.
1t is believed that the theft of the
machine was more for the purpose Of
avoiding Polen's claim than for any
other purpose, as the Pullman doctor
has shown a disposition all the way
through to make fair settlement for
the damage done by his machine

POLICE ON
HUNT FOR
A COWARD
Miss Hulda Soltwedel Is
Run Over by Scorching
Autoist, and Adopts Ruse
to Escape the Responsible
ity.

The worst case Of responsibility and
cowardice on the part of an automobile
driver that has come TO the attention
Of the local authorities occurred near
the lake front yesterday afternoon.
where an unknown person ran down
Miss Hulda Soltwedel and severely in
jured her legs. 1t is said that the car
owner lives in Chicago
It so happened that the man could
not get out OF the crowd with safety.
and SO he adopted a ruse to escape the
responsibility for the accident.
He offered to take the girl home in
his machine and was permitted TO do
so. He drove her as far as the car
barns on Sheffield avenue, Miss solt-
wedeI lives in 7o5 Logan street, and
then informed her that he had run out
Of gasoline and would not be able to go
any farther.
A COwardIy Deed.
He helped Miss Soltwedel out of the
machine and then ran his machine away
at full speed. It was necessary for
people in the vicinity to call a buggy in
order to get the injured young woman
home
The young woman is In very bad con-
ditlon today. and, while none of her in
1uries are very serious. she is badly
bruised and lacerated. Her parents are
indignant over the conduct of the driv
er of the machine and will take every
means possible to learn the identity of
the moral coward who ran away from
the responsibility for his accident.
The Misses Carroll were witnesses Of
the accident, and are OF the opinion
that they can identify the driver of the
machine If they see him again The
accident was called to the attention of
a large number of people who were out
on the lake front yesterday afternoon.
