Hammond Is to Have An
other Great White Way
and Holman st. Business
Men Declare They Can
not Take a Back Seat.

In view of the fact that the lighting
of State street with the arches of in
candescent lights has proven such
success, it is understood that the prop
erty owners on Holman street and
West State street are considering the
lighting of their streets in a similar
manner
One of the Holman street business
men said yesterday state street Ger
tainly is progressive and has got the
jump on US in the matter of street
illumination.
I have heard considerable talk about
putting up arches Of electric lights on
Holman street, from the bridge to Rus
sell street, and on West State street,
from Holman street to Morton court"
The local man went on TO say. on
the first night of the illumination there
were twice as many people on State
street as there We're on Holman street,
and the people in all Of the rest of the
business district viii have 10 follow
suit or lose business.
Cost Is Considerable.
That the property owners between
Holman and SohI street, on State
street, are willing to put up $1,000 for
street Illumination alone, is an indica-
tion of their spirit of progress. It is
the thing that is rapidly making State
street one of the important retail cen
| ters of the city
The thousands of people who now
pass through Hammond in the night

NEMESIS
PURSUES
Shocking Occurrence Recalls
Snowslide in West Two
Years Ago.

It would be a far cry to say that
accidental deaths in family are
hereditary. but it is certainly a strange
coincidence that violent death should
persistently follow family for three
generations. Such has been the case
in the Mason family of Hammond.
Frank Mason, who figured in the
third generation in this strange chain
of circumstances. was accidentally kill
ed at Blue Island, Ill, last night. Thus
far no eye witnesses have been found
to his sudden death and the manner
can only be surmised from the circum-
stances surrounding it. The inquest
will be held at Blue Island tomorrow
afternoon. at which time everything
pertaining to his manner of death will
be stated to the coroner.
Leave for Denver.
Until recently Frank Mason had been
working in the Torbett repair shops,
under Thomas Vaughn. Frank Mason
made his home with the Vaughns in
Bellview place, and he and Lester
Vaughn, son OF Thomas Vaughn, work
ed together in the repair shop. Both Of
the boys gave up their jobs last week
with the idea of going west. They told
Mr.. Vaughn of their intention and made
Denver as their destination. AS nearly
as can be gathered they left Hammond
yesterday afternoon on a Chicago juno
tion freight, riding it as blind passen-
gers. as far as Blue Island. There they
must have gotten off and awaited a
passing Rock Island freight to go to
Joliet their first stop. as Lester Vaughn
has sister living there. Judging from
where the body of Frank Mason was

ARRA|GNED
On SERIOUS
CHARGES
West Hammond's Former
President Accused in JUS
tice Green's Court Of At
tempting to Mistreat Six
Year Old Girl.

Pat Kennedy. one time president of
the village board of West Hammond.
H.. was arraigned in Judge Frank
Green's village court in West Hammond
on the charge of disorderly conduct.
The complaint was brought by Ed
ward Bizki. an employe of the Simplex
Railway Appliance company of Ham
mond, who alleges that Kennedy tried
to mistreat his little 6-year-old girl.
Mrs. Bizki testified that she heard
her little girl say. Don't do that, don't
do that" and then told her husband to
go and see what was being done to her
daughter
Father Gives Testimony.
Edward Bizki. according to the testi-
mony he gave in court, said that he
found Kennedy making improper ad-
vances toward the little girl. He at
once swore out warrant for his ar
rest and the case came up before Judge
Green this morning.
Kennedy testified that several days
ago he asked the father of the girl if
she could go and get him a pint of beer.
The father consented and Kennedy says
he promised the girl cents spending
money.
He then testified that the girl came
to him and asked for the cents he
owed her. He gave 1t to her and claims
that all he did was to place his hand on
her head.
Girl Tells Different story.
The little girl. however. tells a diff
ferent story and says that Kennedy
mistreated her. Judge Green took into
consideration the fact that Kennedy has
been good citizen previous to this and
did not bind him over to the grand
jury, as he might have done.
He stated, in view of the fact that
there was no real injury done to the
girl, he would take the matter OF
Kennedy's guilt of the charge of dis
orderly conduct under advisement and
would announce his decision in the mat
ter Aug. 6. Mr.. Bizki says, however
that he viii not stop until Mr.. Kennedy
is punished.

Torpedo Boat a Wonder.

PORTSMOUTH, Eng, July 2S.-In a
realistic war test carried out in the
upper part of Portsmouth harbor this
morning the inefiiciency Of massive
boom with wire ENHANCEMENT to pre-
vent the entrance of hostile torpedo
craft was fully demonstrated, the tor
through the distractions with the great
est ease.
The boom consisted of massive ba1ks
of timber and steel spikes, and the
outer edge was bound together with
stout wire hawsers, with hawser en-
tanglements above and below water.
The Ferret, whose bows were especially
strengthened with sharp steel plates,
steaming at full speed, about thirty
miles an hour, charged directly at the
center of the boom and cut through
without, apparently, much injury to
herself
The Ferret was manned by skeleton
crew of volunteers, ali OF whom as
sembled on deck jus5 before the impact,
expecting to be thrown overheard by
the force of the shock. The razorlike
bow CT the swift travelling ship, how
ever, cleft the obstruction in two, as
though 1t had been collection of cab
bage stalks instead of the DESTROYER
proof defense, which heretofore it had
been regarded.
The Ferret seemed to have suffered
some damage under the water line, as
the pumps were set to work, bus sac
showed no outward signs of being any
worse for the feat and sailed quietly
on, with her crew gazing complacentiy
at the havoc wrought
