WANTS THE GLEE CLUB
High School Students May
Get Wabash College
Musicians.

The Hammond high school students
are considering the matter of secur-
ing the Wabash College Glee club for
an entertainment in Hammond on
March 81.
When the University club decided to
drop the matter after Manager Gibson
had changed the date in favor of Mich
igan City without letting the Ham
mond men know about it, Gibson at
once attempted to interest the high
school Students.
So far they have not come to any
definite decision in regard to the mat
ter. Principal McElroy said today that
he did not know whether the senior
and junior classes would take the re-
sponsibility Of bringing the club here.
The members of the University club
had each agreed to dispose of IS worth

MANY GARY NEGROES
(snecial to THE TINES. }

Grown Point, Ind, March 6.-The ad
vent of Gary certainly has done one
thing for Lake county, if nothing, else.
and that is to make it the magnet
for some of the toughest propositions
in colored folk that Lake county has
ever had to deal with Ten negroes in
the county jail at the present time,
three recently released. and three sent
over the road to Jacksonville a short
time ago, is the record for crime among
the blacks in that town and where a
negro in the county Jail has been sort
of a curiosity before the advent Of the
steel town, the preponderance of pris
oners at times are of that race. OF
course not all their crimes are serious
and day in the calaboOse in that town
would be all that some of them have
coming, but the fact goes to show that
there is certainly a lawless element in
the neighboring city Of the north.

HUBS STAR SHINES
BRIGHTLY TO THE END
Suspension of Rules in the House is
County's Seats Anchor of Hope
Should Special Session Materialize
It Would Revive the Battle Along
the Line.

Like chameleon the Lake county
court fight takes on a different color
every minute. At the present time
there seems to be no chance for either
the Gary or Hammond bills to pass
and the Crown Point measure is sure
10 go through if the house members
Will only agre to a suspension of the
rules
After the Gary bill went through the
senate under the guidance of Senator
A. j. Bowser and the Hammond bill
got through that body in spite Of the
senator it looked rather dubious for
Hammond. For a time the Hammond
attorneys were really frightened. They
all hurried to the capital, however, and
II did not take long to put the Gary
bill tc sleep.
OF course that destroyed the chances
of the Hammond bill and again It be-
gan TO appear that the Crown Point
measure was the logical one to provide
the relief that is so sorely needed in
Lake county courts.
The Crown Point bill must be passed
today, however. on a suspension of
the rules If 1t is passed at all. Here
is where the hitch comes. The house
is in a state of incipient rebellion. The
governor has put his foot down on the
house for its prodigality in making ap-
prOpriations. The house republicans
are angry at the prospects of having
scme Of the appropriations for their
pet projects cut down
Added to this whirlpool of trouble
IS the widespread dissatisfaction OF
certain house democrats over the fact
that the county local option repeal
bill was killed.
These things make it apparent that
the policy of many of the members OF
the house viii be that of obstruction
They will oppose anything and every
thing just to give vent to their spleen
Consequently a suspension of the rules
which is the only way the Crown Point
measure could win, seems improbable
There is much talk of a special ses-
sion. The democrats realize that sc
far the democratic legislature has
been fiat failure. It lacked the close
organization TO make business like
methods possible.
If a special session Is held the court
question may bob up again. 1t is i'm.
possible to tell what turn affairs would
take then. The opinion SENS to be
general that Crown Point should b,
given relief and that that would be tn,
best solution of the question at the
present time

ORCHESTRA COVERS
ITSELF WITH GLORY
Edwin Friedrichs Handicapped By
Fact That He Was Not Permitted
to Use Grafton He Had Won a
Battle With Earlier in the School
Year.

The preliminary oratorical contest, by
which the representative of the Ham
mond high school in the coming Lake
county oratorical contest was select
ed. was held at the First Presbyterian
church last evening.
After the orations had been heard
the decision of the judges was that
Floyd Murray has won first place. Ray
mond Zon second, Edwin Friedrich
third and r. Edwin Amoss fourth. The
orations were all excellent, and aft
er the judges retired to deliberate on
their decision. the announcement that
any one of the speakers had won the
contest would not have been surpris-
ing.
one of the features of the evenings
entertainment was the music of the
high school orchestra. The high school
boys, many of whom are still in the
freshment or sophomore years. are able
to render some excellent music, and
their enterprise in forming an orches-
ira was appreciated.

MEMBERS DONATE
MANY THINGS
Leaders In Movement Want to See a
Club House Built and Plan Gym
nasium In Near Future to Cost
$4,000 Which Will Be Heritage to
Growing Generation.

The Hammond Athletic club received
another big boost last night when the
advisory board of this promising young
organization met in the club-rooms
to talk over the plans fer the future,
and TO make immediate arrangements
to open the doors of activity for the
club. Messrs. Joseph Hutton, George
Locklin, J. E. Fitzgerald, Otto Klemp-
erer, Peter w. Meyn and A. NJ. Turner,
members of the advisory committee
met together last night to discuss
the plans. The fact that these men. to-
gether with other prominent business
men, have taken the welfare OF the
Hammond club in hand speaks well for
its future. They discussed plans last
night. which comprise the Immediate
eQuipping of the gymnasium and the
club-rooms in general at a cost of
$4,000. if need be, provide for athletic
instructions with view of starting
ladies' class in the course Of time.
and ultimately house the club in its
own home. In fact. the discussion
among the members portends that a
clubhouse will be built soon.
strong Men Take Charge.
The most conspicuous part about the
Hammond Athletic club is that num-
Der of able men have taken hold of
the project with a deep interest and
are willing to spend time and means
toward its development. They are
working with an aim of building up
an organization, which they may en-
joy, which will be of special interest
and benefit to the young man OF Ham
mond and which they leave to the
growing generation as a heritage. At
the same time these same men realize
that their aspirations are not sufficient
| for the present and they must con-
tinue along the strenuous lines that
| they have laid out for themselves in
/ order to nurse the club through its
| hardest period, the present. It was
/ with this thought in mind that the
advisory board planned at it's session
