went through their drills with per
lection and disappeared tripping away
as gracefully as they had entered.
The Little Boys Complaint" was
something original and was timely
enough and seasoned with such good
humor that under other circumstances
it might have resulted in material for
the city campaign.
Boys the City Council.
c. Huber and F. Flynn, two of the
smaller boys, appeared for a song, the
theme of which was the recent fran
chise grant by the city council to the
Gary & Interurban. 1t will be remem-
bered that All Saints church at the
time put up strenuous fight against
the right of way past the church and
school on Sibley street and this was
recalled in the song which had for its
refrain words to the effect that the
people own the streets, but that the
council knows it all.
"Erin's Flag" was a stirring chorus
recitation by the boys Of the interme-
date grades, and like the other mem
bers, was received with applause. 1t
was followed by aesthetic drill by the
girls of the seventh and eighth grades.
Professionals could not have executed
the drill more perfectly, and to each
and every member of the two classes
credit is due for the fine work.
Attorney Moran Closes Program.
The evenings program might have
stopped there as far as completeness
was concerned There had been two
hours of good entertainment, but there
was more to come. when the boys pre-
scented the operetta, "Old Glory. or
Boys Of '76." 1t opened and closed with
chorus singing. and the Intervening
lines by the various characters were
we'll rendered. The operetta was fol-
lowed by a short address on education
given by Attorney d. j. Moran. Owing
to the lateness of the hours he con-
fined himself to few words and urged
his audience, most of whom were the
parents who had Just appeared on the
stage to give their children an educa-
ton beyond the common school
branches.

take advantage of the provisions of
the law and force them to act"
The procedure in matters of this kind
is for the commercial club to file a
petition with the railroad commission
calling attention to the inadequate de-
pot facilities and then the commission
will mandate the railroads to build
new stations.
Law Is Very Plain.
The law on this point is very plain.
In addition to the rights that the leg
islature has conferred on the Indiana
railroad commission by which it has the
right, and in some instances has exer-
cised it, to order better depots. Burns
revised Indiana statutes has the follow
ing:
Waiting roomR-That all railroad
companies operating lines through cit
les and towns of 100 population or more
shall provide suitable waiting rooms.
together with separate water closets
for men and women. for the convent
ence Of the travelling public, and shall
Keep such rooms open for the period
OF not less than one hour next preced-
ing the arrival of all passenger trains
that are allowed by schedule or tagging
to stop at all stations"
1t is believed that with the power
the railroad commission has vested in
It and the provisions of the law, the
local railroads which are so delinquent
can be brought to time.
Erie Station Worst.
1t IS believed that the decrepit old
Erie Is especially liable under the
above provisions. It is a notorious
fact that both men and women are
compelled to use the same dingy old
waiting room in the Erie station and
that the whole building is unsanitary
and far from being suitable The fact
Is that the air in the waiting rooms is
sickening offensive from the proximi-
ty OF a toilet
The Monon railroads mems waiting
room is foul smelling affair. but the
road has at least shown an inclina-
ton to respect the demands of the
Business Mems association by asking
a few needed repairs. but the Erie has
hurled its defiance in the fact Of the
whole town by plastering its already
ugly depot with cheap posters
That a great deal of good will be
accomplished by the Business Mems
association in calling the attention of

one or the startling developments
of the day came in the way of a state
ment from A. S. Kent. division engineer
of the Monon, in which he said that in
his opinion the question of track ele-
walton in Hammond would have to be
met by the railroads running through
Hammond inside of the next five years.
This affects the depot question in that
different type of a depot would have
to be built for an elevated structure.
but 1t is looked upon by many as a
good excuse for delaying the much
needed depot improvements

ALL SAINTS SCHOOL HAS
FINE EXERCISES At FOWL S

Barring the sweltering heat, the clos
ing exercises for All Saints parochial
school at the Towle Opera House last
evening was a delightful affair, and If
anything, even better than any of the
previous efforts. The public appearance
OF the school children. their intelli-
gence and discipline rebounds to the
credit of the school, and much credit is
due to the sisters and Father Barrett.
A house packed to the doors greeted
the youthful performers. and the enthu-
siasm and applause abated only with
the final curtain.
The program opened with a chorus,
in which two score of boys, sang

self as the curtain rose The little

to retire, presented a beautiful pic

more like little angels than little school

recftations with spirit which only

girls followed with juvenile melody
and carried away their share of the
