lights your sense of taste beyond words.

History OF the Plunge.
A glance at the manner In which
Sir Martin has been backed is tllumin-
ating. On April 3 he was 100 to z In
the betting. Two weeks later his
price had dropped to 9 to l under the
weight OF enormous commissions from
America. At that time Bayardo was
at IL TO /, and the kings horse. Min
cru, 10 To l. Then Minoru defeated
Bayardo I'm the guineas and was
promptly made the derby favorite at
odds OF 3 TO l. Sir Martin continued
to fall steadily in the odds and last
Monday IL became plain that he would
not be better than 3 TO 1 at post time
on derby day. Today the guess Is
that he will be held at to 2 on Wed
nesday and that he will be found to
be pressing the royal stable colt hard
for premier honors in the books.

The Hammond police made a raid
on the notorious Maine hotel in Ham
mond last night at 12 o'clock and as a
result arrested May Fletcher. alias Ca
hill. of Gary. and John Doe and Jane
McCrea of Gary and Richard Roe.
Probably one of the most sensational
things about the arrest is the confes-
sion OF the CahiH girl in which she
charges she was mistreated by Louis
Baxter of Gary. who did all he could
TO induce her to remain as an inmate
in house of ill-fAme, which he ran
some time ago on Madison street in
the Steel City.
For a long time the Hammond po-
lice have been convinced that the Maine
hotel in Hammond was little more than
a resort. Time and again they have
endeavored to catch young people as
sociating in the rooms of the hotel
Occasionally j scandal about the
place would be made public such as the
terrible facts which lead to the con-
viction of c. z. Coons for having i'm
proper relations with his daughter. or
the attempted suicide Of a woman in
the place. In fact, the Maine hotel
has become as notorious a some of
the hotels in the loop district in Chi
cago.
But If the police have been convinced
of the fact that they were unable 10
secure the evidence that would lead
to conviction. Last night. however
Ofacer Borchert learned that a youth
had taken a young girl to a room
where he and another well known Ham
mond young man were staying and an
other fellow had taken Jane McCrea to
another room and the raid was made.
The girls were compelled to dress
themselves and they were then taken
ic the police station together with the
young men with whom they were
found
This morning, during an examination
by the police. the fact as developed that
the two girls had come from Gary dur
ng the afternoon and had made their
catch" late in the afternoon
AS one of the men was already in the
1otel 1t was only necessary for him to

Boom in TOlleston Interurban Really
Good Thing For Both Gary
and Hammond
BUILDING
PROGRESS
Thriving Village Is Fast
Blossoming Into an I'm
portant City.

Tolleston, Gary's immediate neigh
Dor, and Hammond's little sister on the
east, which will eventually be a part
OF the steel city itself, will have the
construction work on FIVE hundred
houses started this summer and fall
It's population will by next year by
5000. This Is the remarkable state
ment made this morning by the towns
chief executive, President W. s. Cal
lagher of the board of trustees
President Gallagher is In a position
to lend an authoritative tone to his
declarations and he gives some verv
good reasons for them. Some time ago
1t was announced that several South
Bend capitalists would erect two hum
dred houses in the town this fall Now
that the Gary and Interurban line is
to be constructed from the Gary limits
to Hammond, upward of a hundred Toll
lesion householders have announced
their intention of building houses for
IN invest stment
Unless unforeseen occurrences take
place. work will be started within a
months time on the Hammond Gary
division of the interurban line. This
will connect the aforementioned city
with the local line. which is now oper-
ated to the Tolleston limits.
The line will proceed from its pres
ent terminal on Eleventh avenue and
after passing through several of the
other important streets it follows Bor-
mann boulevard to Hammond The
boulevard is merely a continuation Of
Eleventh avenue and its length through
Tolleston is four miles. Along this
route Mr.. Gallagher estimates that so
per cent OF the building will take place.
As is we'll known, Gary would have
i've thousand more residents had she
the houses for them However. the
population grows faster than the work
or construction can be ACCOMPLISHED In
consequence rentals are rather high
and TO avoid this hundreds Of worknen
and their families make their homes in
Hobart. Chesterton, Hammond East
chicago. South Chicago and Indiana
Harbor
The question of carfare and travelling
miles from ones place Of work is al |
most al much a problem as paying high
rents in Gary.
Therefore Tolleston's proximity to |
Gary. its cheaper rentals, and its lower
cost of living. make it a desirable place /
TO live in when the question Of econ |
omy rises.
Ihis fact has become recognized and
now the well-axed Tollestonites are go
ing to erect homes and realize hand
somely on their investment.
At least four hundred of the houses |
will be of the fve-room and bath tvne
OF cottage, which are built at a COST Of
$500 A rental Of $15 or s16 a month /
may be obtained from them. which
makes it comparatively reasonable 10
the renter and realizes at least 10 per
cent on the investment to the owner.
Mr. Gallagher predicts that Bor
mann boulevard will. within a years |
time be settled for three miles out Of
the center of town "A year from now"

POSTERS
ARE ONE
SCREAM

The storm of protest that has gone
up on account of the billboard adver-
tising. which the Erie railroad is try
ing to impose on the people of Ham
mond. is growing in the right direction
and, II 1t continues to grow. the Erie
will have to take down the scream
posters which now disgrace the heart
of the business district It is said
that the Erie has right to put posters
on its own property, however
Inquiry at the city hall showed that
no license had been secured to put up
the posters The board of public works
has been apprised of the nuisance and
the city attorney is also aware of 1t.
Information comes from other towns
along the Erie that the line has per
patrated the same outrages there and
that the people are in arms, too. It
only remains to be seen whether Ham
mond will stand for such treatment
longer than any of the other cities. es-
pecially from railroad company.
