WEST HAMMOND IS NOT
TO HAVE ANY MORE SALOONS

of public sentiment against their busi-
ness. and this law regulating the num-
Der of saloons was passed at the in
stance of the saloonkeeprs themselves.
whope hope by wise regulation to pre-
vent the fling of remonstrances. which
have created such a havoc with the
business in Indiana
West Hammond is in a process of re-
formation. 1t was not many years ago
that a Chicago paper called it the
wickedest city in the world and it prob
ably merited the name. But West Ham
mond has been good since then. While
vice has not been entirely suppressed
it is not paraded before the public gaze
as it used TO be.
Commended on All Sides.
This latest move on the part Of the
city officials is being commended on
all sides. 1t is believed that 1t will
moke for a cleaner. more orderly vii
lage. It will aso be better thing for
the saloonkeepers themselves, for It
will prevent competition by scores of
irresponsibles who come into a COM
munity unrecommended, backed only by
the brewery and lower the standard of
the whole business.
It is expected that the ruling OF the
town board will cause some trouble
when some one attempts to start up
new business and is refused a license.
but on the whole the ordinance will
give general satisfaction.

The village of West Hammond has
undertaken the task of regulating the
number of saloons, and hereafter no
more saloon licenses win be granted
except to the proprietors of places
which are already doing business.
That means that If a man wants to
go into the saloon business in West
Hammond he will have to buy one one
of the men who are already in bust
ness there.
The action which was taken by the
members of the town board in West
Hammond is in line with that which
was taken in Chicago. where the num-
Der of saloons is limited to one for ev-
cry 500 people.
Forty Now in Village.
West Hammond has a population Of
5000 and would under this ruling, be
entitled to but ten saloons. There are
now forty in the village. The saloon
keeprs in the neighboring village, how
ever. propose to profit by the experience
af the saloonkeepers in East Ham
mond and Gary, where the number Of
drinking places increased to such an
abnormal figure that they became a
nuisance in the community and aroused
so much adverse sentiment that they
were finally all thrown out.
Fear Local Option
Even in West Hammond the proprie-
tors of the saloons feel the rising tide

IN NEW QUARTERS
BY JUNE lST

Work on the new Lake County Saw
ings and Trust Bank at the corner
of Holman and State street is progress
sing in such fine shape that the man
agement of the trust company hopes to
occupy its new quarters by June 1st
While the bank people are optimis-
tic about them, others are their heads
in doubt knowing that to complete the
bank in two weeks would be a hercu-
lean job. not because of the building
itself. but because of the elaborate fix
lures which the Lake County Savings
and Trust company wants to install.

An enthusiastic crowd of rooters,
representing the Hammond high school,
went to South Bend this morning on
the interurban to attend the sixth an
nual track and field meet of the North
ern Indiana Athletic and Oratorical
League.
While 1t was expected between flf
ty and seventy-fve would make the
trip the number was considerably re-
duced This was due to the fact that
the expense of the trip was consid-
erable and many of the parents of the
high school students would not consent
to their making a trip of that dis
tance.
The ones who did go, however, have
a beautiful day before them. and are
looking forward to one of the best
meets that have ever been held. The
Hammond boys are all confident of
winning the meet, and are in the best
of condition for a grueling contest
VIII Remin for Contest.
Most of those who go TO South Bend
this morning will remain over for the
defamation contest in the evening
which will be held in the armory. Ed
win Friederichs will represent Ham
mond, and it is believed that he will
have a good chance of winning the
contest.
The last meet was held in Hammond
and was won by the Hammond athletes
| with 39 points to their credit It is
/ believed. however. that it will take
more points than that this year to wir
| the meet, as most of the events will be
won by one or another of the three
schools-Hammond. South Bend ant
! Goshen.
The Hammond team was accompanied
by superintendent Mcdaniel and Prin
| cipal McElroy and a large delegation
of the teachers. 1t is expected tina
there will be small delegations from
East Chicago. Indiana Harbor ant
| Gary.

The gradual return of prosperity to
the railroads, which mas been indicated
by the increases in earnings for sew
eral months. stiIl further is reflected
in the growing list of orders for equip
ment and supplies placed by the rail-
roads both east and west.
Manufacturers of cars and other
equipment, 1t was said yesterday, have
felt especially jubiIant over the results
of the week. saying that large orders
for cars and locomotives just placed
or about to be placed, amounting TO
about $10,0o0,000, will make the pres
ent month the best in point of new
business for over a year
The largest recent purchasers of new
equipment have been the Hartman

PULLMAN COMPANY ANNOUNCES
100000 NEW IMPROVEMENTS

steel cars were outlined about two
years ago but were abandoned tempor-
arily on account of the business de-
preston, and the almost total cessa-
tion of car building which followed.
With the gradual return of prosperity
to the railroads and to the country a )
a whole they were resumed, and their
extent was announced during the day
by Richmond Dean, general manager Of
the company.
Work has already been started on
two erecting shops for passenger cars,
each 420x220 feet in size. with a trans
fer table between them for handling
the car bodies. These are located to
the east Of the present buildings and
are of steel construction. They viii cost
100000 and will be completed in nine
~ days. All of the new buildings
planned are expected to be finished by
Sept. l.

propriatton for the additions, the i'm

BELIEVES SITE WILL

Shedds and Forsythes Are Asking
What Is Considered Prohibitive
Prices for Their Land Near the
Wolf Lake Harbor and this May
Kill Hammond's Chances.

That the Calumet region will be the
site of another large steel mill which
will be the equal of that built by the
United States steel company at Gary,
and will be owned and controlled by
the Independent steel manufacturers. is
the opinion OF A. F. Knotss the father
of Gary, and the man who drst pointed
out the possibilities of this region to
the United States Steel company off,
cials.
Mr.. Knots bases this belief not only
on the natural presumption that the
Independent will be compelled eventu-
ally to seek a location on the south
shore of Lake Michigan where they can
have shipping facilities by both water
and rail, the equal Of that of the In
diana steel company at Gary, but also
on some positive information he has
that they are actually looking for a
location.

Suit to Enjoin the Trustees
From Approving Gary
and InteTurban Bond.

The Chicago. Lake Shore and South
Bend Railway company will fight the
Gary and Interurban Electric Railway
company in its effort to get a fran
chise in Toleston.
This was made certain this morning,
when Attorneys F. J. Lewis Meyer and
Bomberger, Sawyer and Call. represent
ing the South Shore line. made applica-
ton in the Lake superior C ourt in
Hammond for an injunction to prevent
William S. Gallagher, Edward Behnke
and C. A Borman. the board of town
trustees from approving the bond of
the Gary and Interurban Railway com
pany and permitting it to enter upon
and occupy the streets of Tolleston.
Basis of Action.
This action is based upon the pro-
vision of the franchise of the Chicago
Lake Shore and South Bend Railway
company. which gives that company
the exclusive right to traction fran
chise in TolIeston for a period of five
years.
Section g. The grants herein made
are made exclusively to said grantee for
a period Of five years, and because Of
the probability of the operation of said

Result o. Sod wnr.

The decision of the independent steel
manufacturers, Independent as distin-
guished from the steel trust, TO get to-
gether and build a rival of the plant
at Gary was mode soon after the United
States Steel company declared war on
the small manufacturers of steel and
started to slashing the prices.
1t was then seen that eventually
there would be a war of determination
between the powerful steel corporation
and its weaker competitor. Warfare in
the industries is conducted in much the
same way and is successful for about
the same reasons as warfare in any
other line of activity.
Strategic location, nearness to the
base of supplies, Gin this case iron ore,
coal and labor), transportation and
nearness to the central market are all
as vital considerations with warning
steel companies as financial resources.
Realizing this, the Independents have

In their turn are introduced the bigoted

that she imperils the career of the

to blot herself out of the minister's ex-

however, that it all ends happily.

IS CHASED BY
POSSE DURING NIGHT
Charles Caldwell One Reported Dead
Turns Up Down State And Gets
Into the Calcium Light After Try
ing to Gust Secretary of State
Philander Knox.

Charles w. Caldwell, now of Eliza
BEETHOVEN. near Columbus, Ind, and
thought to have been a former practic-
ing attorney in Hammond. figures again
in the press dispatches this morning,
because of an alleged escapade. involv-
ing himself and two young girls. who
were his pupils in a school.
Although the Caldwell, whom the
Hammond people have in mind, was at
one time reported to be dead local peo-
pie who knew the school teacher-at-
torney intimately. say that the Caldwell
figuring in the dispatches now Is the
same one, and that the report about
his death by drowning in the Ohio
river years ago was a hoax of which
he was the instigator for reasons best
known to himself.
Posse and BIOOdhOunds in Chase.
Caldwell Is under arrest in Column
bus today, suffering from a bullet
wound in the hip. he having been shot
by the father of 16-year-oId Beulah
Remy of Eliza abethtown. whom he at
tempted to meet secretly Thursday
night in the Remy yard. He was ar
rested after an all-night chase by a
pOSSGs " WAANA tlcu bGSAi " E>eA4AAA00 ~ NiAC
irate father, who led the chase with
bloodhounds on the trail. The arrest
however. was not accomplished until
yesterday morning, when Remy and
Sheriff Cox found the wounded attor-
ney in his Office. He escaped capture
during the night by hiding in a wheat
field. He at first denied any knowledge
of the chase, but later admitted that
he was the man who had been shot by
Remy.
Wants to Gust Knox.
It was only a few days ago that
Caldwell gained considerable notoriety
by fling a suit for custer in the fed
eral court against Philander Knox,
President Taft's secretary of state. He
was still working on the suit when his
wife applied for a divorce.
When the father noticed that CaId-
well was unusually attentive to his
two daughters he instituted an inves-
| tigation in which he intercepted a let
ter from the school teacher attorney, fr
which he made an appointment with
Beulah Remy to meet her in her IA
| thers yard. The father gave the letter
| to an attorney, and locking his daugh-
ter in a room, he laid for Caldwell
with the result that he was arrested.
Girl Tells Elopement Plan.
! Beulah Remy is alleged to have said
she was going to elope with Caldwell
in few weeks, when she graduated
from the high school. He gave hel
a diamond ring and a gold necklace
and left his grocery bill at Remy''
store unpaid to buy the jewelry. Sh,
says he told her he was not legally
married TO his present wife. The pair
she says, wrote letters in a secret cod'
most of the time. and the younger gir
helped deliver the notes.
Caldwelrs father is said to be a judg'
of the circuit court of Coles county
Ill. A brother, John, travels for a Chi
cago packing company and anothe
brother, Albert, is superintendent of
government hospital in the Panam'
canal zone. Caldwell is well educate,
and has both taught and practiced Law
in several states.
