FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
WHAT QUARANTINE MEANS.

Don't get it into your head that
strict quarantine regulations are
all right when enforced against
your neIghbor and all wrong and
needless when there Is a case OF
contagious sickness in your own
family. II is as much the business
of the health officers to compel
you to obey the law and thus pro-

II Is for them to enforce the law
against your neighbor for the pro-

This Is the only way to look at
matters of this kind. When the
department says that your child,

gle with other children, even
though it is able to be UP and

same should be true respecting

BROKEN CORNER
PROPERTY AN EYESORE
Wooden Shacks Are a Menace to Sur
rounding Property and Their Re-
moval Is To Be Taken Up By Mem
bers of Hammond Business Mems
Association at Meeting.

A great many complaints are being
made by the residents of the south
side, in Hammond, because of the shift
lessness and negligence of the owner of
the shack remaining on the property
at the corner Of Holman and Carroll
streets.
While the rest of Homewood has gone
forward with leaps and bounds, the
owner of this property has done moth
ing to improve it. The little frame
house on the lot is no longer fit for
tenancy. and with all of the windows
the people of the neighborhood
In fact, it depreciates the value Of
the surrounding property to such an
extent that the residents of Carroll
street are considering the matter of cir
culating a petition to have the place
declared a nuisance and removed as
such.
The house is frequented by boys,
who smoke and make it a sort of a
rendezvous. Were it not for the fact
that it's owner is one of the wealthiest
farmers in the county, the negligence
would not be so palpable. The mat
ter is to be taken up by the Ham
mond Business Mems association at one
of the meetings in the enar future.
other Shack Bad
There has also been considerable
complaint OF the shacks which are To-
Gated near the broken corner on Hoh-
man street. and are said to be owned
by another wealthy man.
He is also in a position TO improve
the property il he SO desires, and the
fact that he let's 1t lie from year to
year without improvements or with
out clearing away the old wooden
shacks, which are a menace to the
| surrounding property, has subjected
| him to considerable criticism.
There are several other cases which
are as glaring as the two which have
been cited above, and one Of the task.
which is to be taken up by the Ham
mond Business Mems association in the
near future will be that Of urging upor
the property owners the importance OF
| either removing such shacks or of i'm
proving the property
The business men of Hammond are
| looking forward to great deal of i'm
provement in the appearance of the city

provements that are planned.

MAYOR WILL
NOT BE THERE.
His Constituents Make Life
a Burden These Days for
Alderman Pascaly.

The Gary & Interurban franchise will
be formally introduced in the Hammond
city council this evening. a special ses-
sion having been called by Mayor Beck
er for that purpose. Mayor Becker
will not be there in person, but notices
for the special meeting were sent out
by him Just the same. If the fran
chise meets with any favor at all al the
hands of the council it will not go
through without some changes having
been made on it. Councilman John
Pascaly. for instance, will ask that the
company sprinkle the streets on which
II runs Immediately upon being re-
quested to do So instead of allowing
1t ten days time after receiving no
tice Mr.. Pascaly feels that ten days
is a long time for residents along
dusty street to suffer in the summer
time, and consequently ask that the
wording be so changed as to read that
the company must sprinkle Immediate
ly.
Paxealy Target for Hot Shot.
Mr.. Pascaly, by the way has been the
target for some hot shat -bg- some Of
his constituents in the Third ward,
which he represents in the council.
Trouble has been boiling for him ever
since the East Sibley street property
holders and All Saints and the Baptist
church congregations began their agi-
tation against granting the franchise
on Sibley street In one instance, one
man with a particularly violent brain
storm came to the city fathers tailor
shop to heap abuse upon his head for
fn wit ipyh
and main against the franchise on Sib-
ley street Hot words flew back and
forth, until the city father asked his
"constit' to go with him somewhere
where witnesses might hear the argu-
ment. 1t is needless to say that it
ended there.
The session tonight promises to be
one of the biggest of this year.

TWO MORE
IN The DRY
COLUMN
White and Jackson Coun-
ties Gust Saloons Yester-
day in Option Elections,
and Both Contests Are
Extremely Bitter.

Indianapolis, Ind. April 27.-White
and Jackson counties, the latter includ-
ing the city of Seymour. voted under
the county local option law yesterday
and both are In the dry column today.
The vets carried Seymour by SO3 ma
jority, but this was overcome by the
country vote and the county is dry by
about $40 majority White county
which contains no important city
proved an easy field for local option
lists and the official count will show a
majority close to 1000.
The contests in both counties were
characterized by bitterness, but the
elections passed off without trouble at
the polls, the chief feature being the
york of women who served hot lunches
to workers. Twenty-seven saloons go
out of business as a result Of yester-
days vote in the two counties. Yester-
days score makes forty-four counties
that have voted dry out of a total of
forty seven local option elections held
under the county law.
Six Elections This Week.
Six other counties in Indiana will
hold local option elections this week.
The greatest interest in the contest
is in Delaware. which votes today TIP
pecanoe county votes Friday, Muncie
the seat of Delaware county, has eighty
saloons, and Lafayette, the seat of Tip
pecanoe county, has 101 saloons. The
! campaign at both these places is bit
ter and the contest will be close to
the finish
The fact that Purdue university is
situated at Lafayette makes the inter
est in the fight there more genera
throughout the state owing to the large
number of students. The "drys" there
say they will carry the county by 9
good majority. The vets are not fai
behind in the matter of activity ant
hopefulness.

Meeting Threatens to Break Up In
Riot, But Finally Ends In a
semi-Love Feast When Every
body Finds That Everybody Else
Will Have to Pay.
Especial to THE T1MEs,)

Crown Point. Ind, April 81. = The
town board met last evening to hear
the remonstrances on the recent ordi-
nance ordering Grant and Clark streets
paved, and it goes without saying that
they did not meet in vain for there
were enough kicks landed to make a
Kansas jackass appear like a wooden
horse in comparison.
The Grant street demonstrators lined
up doubly strong and simply refused
to scratch any backs until theirs were
scratched first in other words they
were simply delighted with their lit
tie dirt road and wouldn't have it
touched until the rest of the Crown
Point citizens could see the evil of
their ways. or roads rather, and do a
little fussing up at the same time.
Meeting Was Exciting.
Things got rather exciting at times.
Once in a while certain citizens would
forget that they were raised perfect
gentlemen and went out of the corpor-
ate limits to find words and phrases
to slide down the necks of their oppo-
nents. It was a ''kickfest" from floor

Finally, out of the chaos Of remon-
strances. undertaking and mud sling
ing the board evolved a scheme to
pave the entire town. and at the close
Of the wind-jamming session the mat
ters stood as follows: All the block

amount of time given the property

Going out in 40, rather poor golf for a. champion, the youngster, who by the way plays with the coolness of a seasoned campaigner, found himself after missing an 1S-inch put on the ninth green for a three, and played the last nine holes in S4, seven strokes under bogey.
 A pretty two in the tenth green and a three on the difficult seventeenth helped Evans take the honors of the first half of the qualifying round Incidentally, it took first position away from the long-driving T.

 Sherman was two strokes lower than former Champion Chandler Egans, Bob" Gardner of Hinsdal and R. E. Hunter of Midlothian. One stroke higher than the western trio came Fred Herrenschoff of Ekwanok, who is looked upon as one of the most formidable competitors for championship honors, Al c. Fownes of Oakmont and W. P.

championship tournament was the small est In many years. Exactly 100 of the 121 entrants started.
 Seven of those who started found the going so bad that they did not turn in their cards. But the field. though small. was of high class and the match play that starts tomorrow afternoon after the competition of the qualifying play prom ises to show some keen work Weathor conditions were most trying, and the greens were bumpy and treacherous. Nevertheless Il scores were under 80 and 29 equaled bogey for the course, s. Only few of those expected to be in the run ming fell by the wayside. John M. Ward, the former baseball player, started with topped drive, took eight for the first hole and then skyrocketed his score with an awful ten on the sixth hole, the only double figure of the first days play. Charles B. Mcdonald of aGrden City, who won the championship when golf was young in this country, had great difficulty with the little white sphere, and disgustedly turned in card of 96. Gordan Copeland of Skokie, who spoiled former National Champion Eben NJ Byers' chances for the western cham pionship, took 92 and Is out F. c. Stevenson of Boston was barely outside with 91. Sherrill Sherman, brother of T. M. Sherman, could do no better than 95 F. Odin Horstman of Chevy Chase, who made things interesting in golfing way for President Taft not long ago, got into the ''bumble puppy" class deeply and withdrew.
 The 64 players who finished today in 90 or better will conclude the qualifying play tomorrow morning with another IS holes. Thirty-two of the 64 will qualify for tho match play, which will decide the cham pionship.
