SOUTH SHORE GIVING
UNRELIABLE SERVICE
Seldom Hammond Gary
Trip Can Be Made in
Less Than Hour.

Since the adoption of the new sched-
ule on the South Shore line, between
Gary and Pullman, the various trains
have made no pretense of running on
time. Patrons, in fact, have been in
convenienced nearly as much as when
the first cars were put in operation
and it was hard to tell when the cars
would be running.
Last night the power was off en-
tirely for nearly a half hour and all
OF the trains were considerably de-
layed and there was but two cars 10
Gary from East Chicago and Hammond
until noon. Tuesday most of them
were half an hour slow.
It IS believed that the change in the
schedule and the running of the cars
through to Pullman is responsible for
the poor service which has prevailed
of late. Several passengers bound for
Hammond last night on the 9:15 train
arrived In the business district of Ham
mond at IL o'clock 1t is seldom thai
a passenger can make the trip from
Gary to the center of Hammond by
trolley in less than an hour, and NOR,
often it is longer.

POLISH PART OF

Considerable Racial Feeling.

On Tuesday, April 20, the village Of
West Hammond will hold an election
to fill the offices Of president of the
village board, three trustees. and one
police magistrate. In this battle of the
ballots. the north side will attempt to
wrest the political supremacy from the
south side, which it now holds.
on the north side there will be the
citizens ticket and on the south side
the peoples party will again attempt
to put itself into power. Both sides are
confident of victory, with the south
side a little more than the north.
The issues in the campaign are not
distinctly drawn, they having more of a
territorial and nationality color. The
south side has by far has more the
majority of the foreign speaking voters

well together. In the past the north
siders have been able to wedge on a
candidate now and then. but, as rule,

Neighboring Representative Thinks
Corporations Control Lake Coun-
ty When it Comes to the Wet or
Dry Vote-People Would Rather
See It Without Saloons.
TINES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITOL.

Indianapolis. Ind, April 9.-John B.
Faulkner. of Michigan City member of
the house of representatives from La
Porte county for the last several ses-
sions was in the city yesterday with
Edward Simon. of Hammond, who rep
resented Lake county in the session of
the legislature OF 1907, and Fulknor
talked about the prospects for a local
option election the northern border
counties. Faulkner does not believe
LaPorte will vote itself dry. but he is
of the opinion that there is about an
even chance in Lake and St. Joseph
counties.
Michigan City Would Vote Wet.
The one thing that will keep La
Porte county from going dry. he said,
is the summer excursion business on
the lake Last year. he said the steam
er Theodore Roosevelt carried 10000
excursionists into Michigan city. and
all of these people spent money there
II LaPorte county should go dry all
OF this excursion business would be
| lost and the merchanst and others o.
| the county would be the losers. SO
he believes that the excursion business
will be the means of defeating the anti
| saloon forces If an election is held in
| that county. Faulkner points to Ben
/ ton Harbor and Holland. Mich. as ex-
amples of this same condition. These
are great summer excursion places and,
/ they are. in fact almost maintained by
| the excursion business. When the 10
cal option elections were held in south
ern Michigan a few days ago these two
| counties voted wet, because to vote
dry would have been to lose all of the
excursion business. There are not
many foreigners in LaPorte county ex-
cept Poles, he says. and these people
are not controlled by any outside in
| fluence. They vote as they please and
make up their own minds.
Corporations Rule Lake County.
But in Lake and st. Joseph coun-
ties. he says conditions are different.
Neither county has any excursion bust
ness in the summer. so they would not
have anything to lose in that direc
ton by voting dry. But he believes
that the influence that will decide the
question in Lake and ST. Joseph coun-
ties will be the large corporations that
: exist in South Bend. Hammond, Gary
and Indiana Harbor. If these corpora
tions want the counties to go dry
Faulkner says. and they want them to
go wet they will go wet. These great
corporations are employers of thous-
ands of men, a large proportion Of
] whom are ignorant foreigners who will
/ vote as the boss dictates. Therefore
it will all be up to the corporations
e will decree that both st. Joseph and
Lake county shall be dry. At any rate.
r he sees much more probability Of those
j counties going dry than of LaPorte
county going dry

amalgamated cities.
After the legislature grants an ap-
proved charter, such as indianapolis,
South Bend and other of the large cities
in Indiana have, the question OF the
acceptance of the charter will be put to
a vote of the people
This idea met with the approval of
large number of s.lgsr-rnenfbers- of the
association, and if 1t is proven that
the city officials have not enough pub
lie spirit to put through the plans for
amalgamation another way will be
found to accomplish the purpose.
Others who talked on amalgamation
and Illuminated the subject by their
remarks were A. M. Turner, DR.. w f..
Howatt and A F. Knots. 1t is safe
to say there has not been a more in
teresting meeting held by the Busi-
ness Mems association this year than
the one which was called to discuss
this fascinating subject.
Transportation the Issue.
The question of transportation seem
ed to be equally interesting. Jacob
Schloer who was expected to speak
on the subject, What Is Pending Be
fore the City" was not present.
Roscoe E. Woods produced several
large maps. and after pointing out the
effect on the map of Chicago of good
transportation facilities in the develop
ment of the suburbs. described the
routes through Hammond which the va.
rious interurban lines are seeking.
In answer to the suggestion by g
Hammond business man, that it woul6
not be advisable to make it too easy
/ for the people of Hammond to get into
! Chicago to do their trading, Mr.. Woods
pointed to what the Lake Shore sub
urban service has done for the city.
The fare to Chicago was reduced to q
cents for a Communication ticket bu
trains start at Indiana Harbor empt,
and by the time they reach Hammond
they are filled with men who work il
the mills there and live here. That il
the other effect Of good transporta
tion
He pointed out the advantage of max
ing Hammond the market for all o
the country towns to the south, an,
advised above all that no one com
pany be given a monopoly Of the street
of the city.
Attorney John Gavit, representing tn
Gary & Interurban line, which is seek
ing a franchise here. explained tn
franchise his company desires an
talked on the desirability Of interur
bans in general After the meeting
was decided to hold a mass meeting
at which the question Of transporta
tion will be discussed to the exclusio
of all other subjects.
