DREAM
REALIZED
At LAST
City Of Hammond Orders
Police Patrol, Which Will
Put Hammond on a Par
With Any City of It's Size
in the Country.

A some what belated Christmas pres
ent came to the Hammond police de-
partment when the police commission
ers announced that they had ordered
$2,500 auto patrol from the Rapid Auto
people in Detroit The contract pro-
vides that the machine must be deliv-
cred by March l. The company, how
ever, promised to deliver it within five
weeks. if possible.
The machine is as good a one for the
purpose as there is in the state. Ham,
mond will be put on par with Indi-
annapolis for police service. and the local
department will have realized a dream
of years standing.
The machine is of thirty horsepower
and runs easily twenty miles an hour.
It's speed limit is about thirty miles an
hour.
The body of the machine is of strong
wire netting, strong enough to prevent
any criminal from escaping. Ten peo-
pie can ride in the cage, while two
can use the seat. The whole cage can
be lined on the inside with canvass,
thus protecting the inmates against
wind and rain

JUST THINK OF 1T, THE
WORST IN FORTY YEARSI

Old timers say that Hammond is ex-
periencing one of the most remarkable
cold spells in the history of the city.
It has been colder than in years past. In
fact. the mercury has gone as low as
20 below zero, but not in forty years
has cold spell begun so early in the
winter and lasted so long.
For nearly six weeks Hammond has
been experiencing zero weather most
of the time, and over a month of this
cold weather occurred before Christ
mas. During the entire winter last
year, there were only a few days OF
zero weather and there have been years
when there was no snow on the ground
at Christmas time.
The harvesting of ice has been go
ing on for over ten days, and from
present prospects the various ice com
panies will have harvested all the ice
the houses will hold before the winter
season is far advanced. This might
mean cheap ice were it not for the fact
that competition in this business is a

DEMOCRATS
PULLING WIRES
Friends of Ed. Simon Show Animus
Behind Attack on Democracy's
Leader and Rally to His Aid
WHAT ONE
DEMOCRAT SAYS

ed Simon isn't getting a fair
show and square deal. Some of
the dirtiest work imaginable is be-
ing done against him. A malicious
article printed in paper that
professed to be friendly to him,
has sent all over the district to
knock him. Why? Simply be-
cause he refused to boost its edi-
tor for the oil inspectorship. 1t is
dirty politics and that's all I've
got to say. Suppose Ed Simon,
whom we all respect, saw fit to do
this thing? Suppose he wanted to
show up some Of the tactics that
have been used in the democratic
party in this county by some of
its self-constituted leaders, what
would it result in? Why it would
result in the party being all shot
/ to pieces. If Ed Simon told what
he knew, why it would be split up
into all sorts of cliques and every
body would have a hammer out
for everybody else. I wouldn't
blame him if he did, but he is too
clean democrat. Mr.. Simon has
a few friends, a good deal more
than some Of these soreheads that
are fighting him because he won't
use his position to get them fat
jobs. Governor Marshall knows
this, and it won't do anybody any
good here to throw the hooks into
Ed Simon. The Times, even if it
is republican, is the only daily
that is giving Ed square deal.
If | were him, would go after
these fellows and show 'em up
right. He can do it if he wants"

TOMMY
MISSING
FROM CITY

Tommy Livingston is counted among
the missing in Hammond today, he
having taken French leave several
days ago. Physically Tommy, as he is
known, is in bad shape. but medical
aid from the police department might
have been forced upon him had ne been
willing to accept. He was taken in
custody by the local police on the
charge of having rified a friends pock-
ct of two dollars while the latter was
under the influence of liquor. When
Tommy was brought to the station it
was found that he was nearly a physi-
cal wreck. The police took pity on him
and instead Of putting him in cell
permitted him to lounge in their quar-
ters and ordered a doctor for him.
While waiting for the latter's arrival
Livingston left the room under a pre-
tense and departed for parts unknown.

MONON WILL
STOP TRAIN
NEW YEARS

Captain Downing of the Monon in
this city announces that the paper
train which leaves Chicago at 2:45 a.
m. on New Years morning will be STOP
ped at Hammond.
This will give the Hammond people
who may care to go to the theater and
then go to one of the hotels or cafes
to await the coming of the New Year
a chance to get back home before
morning
In previous years those who went to
Chicago on New Years eve were COM
PEELED to return on the II o'clock Michi-
gan, just when the din of the bells and
whistles was at its height, instead
of remaining until the last dog was
hung.
A few Hammond people who expect
to go to Chicago this year appealed to
Captain Downing to see if this train
could be stopped at Hammond, and he
received word today that it would.

of the quantity of the supply
Old Timers Talk.
George A A. Mason, one of the old
timers in this region, said today that
not in forty years has there been so
much cold weather early in the winter
Fred Rimbach is of the same opin-
ion. Mr.. Rimbach said that there had
been colder weather. but not in his
memory was there a winter when the
cold weather began so early in the
winter and continued for so long.
The amount of snow fall is also larg-
er. so far. than it has ever been be-
fore. 1t is estimated that the snow
fall has been eight inches deep on the
level and, of course, the drifts are
deeper.
While building operations were con-
tinued all last winter practically with
out interruption, there has been little
building going on this year for prac-
tically a month.
