Given Rich Pickings by
Hammond Aldermen.

With a majority of two to one in
favor, the Gary and Interurban fran

same conditions, addition to holding the
city safe with a ten thousand dollar
bond for any damage suit that it may
do. When the Hammond. whiting and
East Chicago company got its franchise

lots. The Gary and Interurban gets the
franchise for nothing.

Attorney Dan Moran, who represented

Two Chiefs Appointed.
The latest siege of the city of Zion
follows as result of the peculiar po-
Iitical situation now existing in that
lake shore town. There are two fac
tions in the city-the Voliva faction
and the independents. Both claim to
be in the saddle. At any rate. two
council meetings were held Monday
night.
Among other things that the dual
headed council did was to make two
appointments for the head of the po-
lice force.
Captain Walker was reappointed TO
the place by the yoliva faction, as
predicted exclusively in THE TIMES sew

BONA FIDE ONE
Company Expects to Get Franchise
Right Away and Gary & Interur-
ban Will Give Direct Connection
With Gary at Gibson and Looks
With Favor on I. & G.

Hammond and East Chicago are to
be connected with Crown Point by the
Indiana Chicago Traction company.
This fact became known yesterday as
a result of an announcement by one
of the officials of the new company.
The line will be extended in a south
westerly direction from Indiana Har-
Dor to Kennedy avenue and will be
built directly south on Kennedy ave
nue. to Gibson. Hessville and High
lands, thence in a southerly direction
to St. John and on to Crown Point
In this way the cities of Hammond
East Chicago and Indiana Harbor will
be given a direct connection with the
county seat. What is more important
there will be no Seaman-like delays
in the building Of the line
The Indiana Chicago Traction COM
pany is bonafide project. The men
who are promoting this project have
the money with which to build the
line
Preliminary Work Begun.
1t is expected that the company will
secure its franchise in East Chicago
at the next regular meeting. APP
plication will Immediately be mbade
in Hammond for a franchise and then
the building of the Crown Point ex-
tension will be taken up.
That the Crown Point extension will
be built in the near future is assured
! for the reason that the Indiana Chi
! cago traction officials say they are
! convinced that Seaman has not the
backing with which to build his pro-
posed line to Crown Point and. if they
/ can get a line in operation between
Indiana Harbor and Crown Point be-
fore Seaman finances his project, the
Crown Point Gary line will never be
built
OF course, Gary will be provided with
! facilities for reaching Crown Point
as the Gary & Interurban line will
intersect with the Indiana -Chica GO
Traction companys line at Gibson and
it will be easy to make the trip by
just changing cars. In fact. the Gary
& Interurban officials are very muct
interested in seeing the Indiana Chi
cago Traction company build through
to Crown Point. for it would be tn,
best sort of a feeder for their line tC

The promoters OIL the 1ndidHd -0nlCd

that the cities Of Hammond, East Chi
cago, Whiting and Indiana Harbor will
when amalgamated, have a population
far in excess Of that of the city o
Gary and it is for this reason tha
they have confined their operations t

It is for this reason that they ar

says such talk is all hosh.

TROUBLE ON THE IsTHMUs.

TROUBLE ON The loIhMOo
1t is persistently rumored in Mexico
City that war has broken out between
Nicaragus and Salvador and that there
has been au engagement between the
Salvadorean guuboat Presidents and the
Nicsragusn gunboat Momolombo. The
result is unknown. The Herald If
Mexico City advocates annexation of Il 9
five Central American States by Mexico.
The general opinion is that intervention
is inevitable, and Mexico looks TO the
United States to n axe the initial move.
No news of any kind beyond the
press dispatches ba3 reached the State
Department iu Washington of the
r1mond opening of hostilities between
Nicaragua and Salvador.
Senior De La Barrs, the Mexican am
basssdor, declared last night that bis
country Is entirely In harmony with the
sincere desire of the United States to
bring about conditions of absolute peace
among the Genital American republics.
BE said that be had received no official
sdvices from Mexico City as to any
trouble between the Central American
countries. Nor have the Nicsraguan
and Salvadoresn ministers la Washing
ton, ss fer as could be learned, received
any official news from their respective
countries.
There is a story current in diplomatic
circles in Mexico City that is believed
10 be true that the United S ates ard
NJ xico reached private understanding
and agreement to divide Central America
snd annex four republics, iu the
event of further disturbances 10 that part
Of the void. According to the story
the question of Intervention 10 Central
America has been discussed between
Washington and Mexico City for some
time, and the conclusion has been
reached that annexation is the only
solution of the problem Of ending the
periodical revolutions OF the Isthmisn
republics. As q result of this private
1nders alding, which has not been
placed on psper, it is ssid that the
United States has consented for Mexico
to annex Gustamela snd Honduras, and
Mexico bss In turn given her assent to
the annexation Of Nicaragua and Saliva
dor to the United States.
