Especial to THE TIMES. }

East Chicago, Ind, MAY 1S.-Another
meeting of the city council. at which
the considera tion OF the street railway
franchise, this time that of the Red
line, was the principal feature Of dis
cussion, and a. which nothing was ac-
complished This took place last even
ing with Mayor De Briae and every
alderman in the city IN his place.
The reading of the franchise had pro-
ceeded through the greater part of the
first section when it was discovered
that the measure. if passed as present
ed, would place the Red line in the po-
sition Of begging favors Of the Indiana
and Chicago company. which al the last
meeting of the council was granted a
franchise to run its lines over certain
streets between East Chicago and In
diana Harbor.
The Red line wants its right to cover
certain streets included within the
right of way Of the Indiana and Chi
cago company. The street over which
/ both companies desire to run their
/ lines include a portion Of Kennedy and
Michigan avenues for a few blocks on
/ each of these thorOughfares near their
Il junction and all Of the streets occupied
by the proposed loop of the Indiana and
4 Chicago This comprises portions of
4 Waiting and Regent streets and Michi-
gan and Block avenues. II the fran
chise was granted as presented, the sit
uation would be a reversal Of that
which exists in Hammond. only in the
/ latter case it is the Red line which
has the upper hand and Of which ths
| new company must apply for permis-
sion to use the loop, while in that ot
the Indiana Harbor loop. the wording
Of the Red line franchise places the
Red line people under the necessity o,
begging.
This was the snag the council found
itself UP against in considering the pro
| posed Red line franchise. and the diff
/ hculty put end to the proceedings

EAST CHICAGO TEAM
IN HAMMOND RUNAWAY
Eddie Blanchar of 4128 Ma
goun Avenue Has an
Unlucky Experience.

There is an epidemic of runawavs in
the city of Hammond at the present
time Yesterday one Of Whitaker's
teams ran away and narrowly escaped
crashing through a glass window in
Paul Scaten's fruit store. but also en-
dangered the life of the Swanton boy.
who was driving it.
This morning there were two run
aways in the space of an hour. Eddie
Blanchar. APPS Magoun avenue. East
Chicago, attempted to get into a buggy
at the corners of State and Holman
streets. when his horse started away
and the wheels became fouled with
those of the buggy belonging to Drs.
Fox and Campbell.
The buggy was turned over and the
top was broken off from it, causing
considerable damage and some excite
ment. The buggy which Blanchar at
tempted TO get into was the property
of Harry Minas of the five and ten cent
store.
This morning team of mules be-
longing to Woodhulrs Ice Cream COM
pany became frightened at o. c. Hub

WILL
HOLD MEET
THIS Zen

There will be an important meet
ing of the University club of Ham
mond in the club rooms this evening,
for the purpose of taking up some i'm
portapt business regarding the new
quarters.
The response of the college and uni
versity men over the city since the
announcement was made that the club
will go into new quarters next Novem-
Der. has been exceedingly gratifying.
and it is very likely that the member
ship of the club will be increased to
100 before the contract for the build
ing of the Taper block is let.
The new rooms will be the finest in
the city, and as the club has an OPP
tion on the necessary floor space, there
is now nothing in the way of the car
rying out of the plans
At the meeting this evening a num-
Der of new names will be presented
to the clug for its consideration. and.
in addition the matter of providing for
a nonresident membership, will be TAX
en- up.

IS HAMMOND To FIND HOMES
FOR HIGH SALARED RA|LAOAD MEN?

VIII c. Nee of the firm of Cox &
Nee calls attention to the fact that
over fifty of the employees Of the Chi
cago. Indiana & Southern railroad and
the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad at
Gibson are faced with the necessity
of finding homes in the cities of the
Calumet region during the next year
or so aon account of the recent ruling
of General Manager c. ". Hitchkiss,
that all Of the employees of both roads
shall live in either Hammond. East Chi
cago or Indiana Harbor
Mr. Nee believes the business men
of the city should at once take steps
to find homes for them, and estimates
that the addition of these fifty men to
the population Of the city is as good as
a small industry. The acquisition of
these men may be accomplished easily
by little effort on the part of the
Hammond business men.
Many of the Gibson men have fami-
lies and will rent homes if they can
find them and others are young men
who are receiving good salaries and
are simply content to find good room
ing place. 1t is a well known fact that
young married men are as good a
medium for keeping money in circula-

The Hammond garage people were
notified Monday to go 10 a point near
Lansing and bring in wrecked auto
mobile While the name of the own
er could not be learned. it was under
stood that he was from Gary and that
he was superintendent In the mills
of the Indiana Steel company.
An effort to locate the owner in Gary
was fruitless. and the report from Sup
erintendent Gleason's office was that
all OF the superintendenis were ac-
counted for ana none of them looked as
though they had been in an automobile
accident.
Manager Simmons of the Hammond
garage stated that when he got to
Lansing he discovered that an automo-
bile had turned turtle and had pinioned
the owner under it. 1t was half an
hour before some of the farmers in
the vicinity could be notified and take
the injured man from under the ma

At the time of the accident the wife
of the owner of the machine and his
little boy, together with a friend. were
in the machine. but none of the others

TIMES BUREAU
AT THE CAPITAL.

indianapolis, Ind. May 1s.-Gover-
nor Marshall has declined the invita-
tion to be the Fourth of July orator for
Tammany, in New York, on July
Fourth. He says he does not wish to
take on any more speaking engage
ments than is necessary, and that he is
not going to make any political speech
es If he can keep from it. OF course
Tammany would expect him to say
very nice things about the rooster and
at the same time pull all of the tail
feathers out Of the eagle and strip him
of all his plumage even though it
were a Fourth of July speech which
would be free of politics. That IS Tam
many's business The letter declining
the invitation was sent yesterday to
New York. and was in answer to an in
vitation received Saturday from Rich
ard Croker. Charles +. Murphy and Pat
McCarron, the Tammany leaders.

GRAND JURY
ADJOURNED
TILL JUNE q

The grand jury met yesterday in the
Lake superior court and adjourned un-
til June 81. In the meantime it is un-
derstood that the people of Lake coun-
ty will have to be good or there are
likely to be some indictments returned
that will be sensational.
Prosecuting Attorney Greenwald says
that so many people have been writing
to him from Gary and other cities of
the country of gambling and the pres
ence of vice, that they had better get
busy and tell some of their stories to
the members of the grand jury.
1t is said to be unprecedented in Lake
county for grand jury to meet and
adjourn to meet at a later date. This
in reality continues the session for all
of this time and affords an excellent
opportunity for those who have a griev-
ance against law breakers to get in
some good work.
The members of the grand jury say,
in effect. Tell what you know or for
ever keep your peace"

Orleans, thence to FL Paso. Los An
geles. San Francisco and from the lat
ter place to Seattle Their plans for
the return trip did include a visit to
Yellow Stone Park. but Judging from
their writing to Hammond friends they
seem to be undecided about this feat
ure. Their last stop before returning

DELIVERY IN
SEPTEMBER
Howe Reader Adopted by
State Board of Education
to Be Printed Here.

The city Of Hammond bit off an
other big chunk of returning pros
perity this morning.
Advice to the Times from its In
dianapolis correspondent this after
noon indicate that the w. B. Conkey
Publishing company of this city has
about concluded negotiations for the
printing of a million school books
which will be used by the Indiana
schools.
Charles Scribner Sons, publishers
of the Howe readers and schoolbooks
adopted by the Indiana State Board
of Education last week as announced
in these columns, declare that they
will have all the books published in
Indiana if possible.
The understanding among school
book men is that the Conkey company
will get the printing contract, and
negotiations for the closing of the
contract are said at Indianapolis to be
under way
Four hundred thousand of the
books will have to be delivered by the
first of September, before the open
ing of the county schools,
The securing Of this business fol-
the Conkey company is big feather
in its cap and will mean much tc
both it and the city, for even though
the local printing establishment is
the largest in the world, an order fol
a million books in addition to tht
other vast business which it does
will cause it to run at capacity for {
long time and largely augment it
force Of employees.

tion as can be found. and a score of
them in a city viii mean a good deal
TO the merchants.
Clubs Can Help Some.
The matter has been broached to
the members of the Hammond AthIet-
ic club and many Of them are Of the
opinoin that the club can be of great
public service by helping to locate
some of these young men in Hammond.
where they can have the benefit of such
social institutions as the Hammond
Athletic club and the University club.
John Z. Fitzgerald S of the opinion
that steps should be taken at once TO
organize a country club. so that some
of the railroad officials who are grum-
bling because they viii be denied the
privileges of their country clubs in Chi
cago, will be contented here.
IN fact, the live wires among the
business men Of Hammond are great
~ concerned lest some of the employees
Of the Gibson Offices take up their
residence in other parts of the region.
1t is conceded to be a matter that is
well worth looking after 1t means
$50,oo0 a year to the community. which
makes It worth while for the Gibson
men to come in and hang their hats on
the carpet.
