SAYS PACIFIC MAIL
SHOULD LOSE CASH
Pittsburg Banker Declares the
Service Inadequate; Passen-
gers Complain

With many complaints against the
service of the Pacific Mail, W. ]. Crit
tenden, a banker and broker Of Pitts
burg, who spent several years in the
consular service in Mexico, has just
arrived from the orient on the Man
churia, accompanied by Mrs. Critten-
den and maid. He registered at the
st. Francis.
''The Pacific Mail, understand, has
made several complaints that the com
pany was losing money in running its
ships in the Pacific" Crittenden said
yesterday.
Why, it ought to lose money. The
service is absolutely inadequate The
Pacific Mail people have no ear for the
complaints of the passengers. We are
freighters' is the usual reply, and do
not care for passenger traffic Mr.
Schwerin, l understand. is a very good
freight traffic man. He certainly does
not understand the personal comfort OF
his guests.
The attitude of the Pacific Mail is
doing a great harm to San Francisco
1t is keeping large numbers OF people
from coming to this city or remaining
mere lou know that lines are run
ming to the orient from Vancouver, and
even though many would wish to en-
bark from this city, they would avoid
it on account of the Pacific Mail.
IF the Pacific Mail wants to improve
its business it must first improve its
service. Mr.. Schwerin can not handle
a cargo of men and women like a herd
of cattle.
Crittenden is a relative of Crittenden
Thornton, Sidney Van wyck and Harry
Cresswell of this city. He will remain
here few days.

PIANO IN THE
PUMPING STATION
Music on the Beach Now at
All Hours Of Day
and Night.

The Hammond pumping station is
probably the only one in the United
States in which there is a piano. There
Is fine instrument there now. and 1t
is said, although the story could not be
confirmed that the engineers and fire
men, when they get an hours respite
from their work, sit down and tear of
one of Lohengrin's or ChOpin's.
The rhythm of the pumping machin-
cry may have developed a love of mu-
sic that would make a piano a neces-
sity. and it is possible that in the flu
ture every up-to-date pumping station
will be equipped with a Straube, a
Bauer or a Hammond piano.
It is easy to see how the sound of
the waves washing the sand covered
beach might have inspired the en-
gineers to their love of music. But the
facts are that they have a piano and it
is not an automatic one either.
The secret of the thing is that it
was necessary for the promoters of the
vaudeville show the Lake Front
Park to have a piano and after getting
it they stored it in the pumping station.
That Is how it happened that Joe Kas-
per and his lo-workers are studying
music.

TWO HORSE
THIEVES
CAPTURED
Chicago Crooks Caught Be
tween st. John and Dyer
After Stealing Crown
Point Mans Rig at Cedar
Lake Yesterday.

Special to TIE T1MEs) .

Crown Point. June 2S.-Stealing a
horse and buggy about o'clock in the
afternoon and landed behind the bars
of the county jail before for the theft
is the record established by two young
crooks of Chicago yesterday. The rig,
belonging to Attorney Thoddens Fan
cher and son, had been driven to Cedar
Lake earlier in the day, where the
Crown Point attorney was engaged on
business Hitching the animal in front
of Einselle's place. Mr.. Fancher and
son, went over to the Monon Park, and
it was while they were away that the
rig was stolen.
Telegraph and telephone service was
called to aid in locating the missing
rig, and the authorities were soon on
the trail. Deputy Sheriff Turman
headed toward Dyer in an automobile
and taken about two miles out of st.
John, ran across the two young thieves.
They made some resistance and when
questioned said that they had hired the
rig from Mr. Fancher They were
brought to Crown Point and locked in
the county jail to await a hearing
which will take place in Judge Nichol-
sons S court. The horse had been rough
ly handled and today shows the marks
of its hard drive.

WAGGONER
RELEASED FROM
JAIL TODAY

Charles Waggoner was released from
custody today after he had convinced
Special Judge Henderson. of the Ham
mond city court, that he did not take
the automobile axles from Tom Rick
etts yard with the intention of steal
ing.
Waggoner was warned by the court
that he had come within a hairs
breath of going to the penitentiary for
selling the axles for junk. Waggoner
was convinced that he had been in the
shadow of the Jail walls and will be
more careful in the future.
1t seems that a young man by the
name of Granger. who lives in the vi
cinity. told Waggoner that he could
have all of the old iron that was lay
ing about the place and Waggoner
asked him how about the axles-
Granger. thinking that he referred
to some old wagon axles that lay about
the place said that he might have them
too In this manner the misunder-
standing arose and the wrong axles
We're taken.
The fact that they were recovered
and that there really had been no
harm done. was what saved the Ham
mond man.

With People.

Thousands Of people from every city
in the Calumet region sought refuge
from the heat at the Lake Front park
in Hammond. The free vaudeville.
which was put on by the Hammond.
whiting & East Chicago Street Railway
company. was the main attraction. and
while the performance did not move

whole region. and yesterday there were
people attracted to IT from points as
far away as Gary on the east and South
Chicago on the west.

solved itself into big family circle.
The singing by the chorus was the
feature of the day. and director Hans
Biederman, gave a good exhibition of
what he is able to do with good voices.
Special illumination was provided
for the evening, and well it was that
these arrangements had been made, for
the electric lights on whom the COM
mite depended for the principal
lighting. failed to go on until after s

much credit is due the various COM
