TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
Chicago Park Official Criticises Both
Peterson and Koenig Nur-
sery Plans.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

council held an adjourned meeting last
night, for the purpose of again dis
cussing the park plans
A communication was received from
O. c. Simmonds of Chicago. who is
president of the South Park board, and
also Superintendent Of Graceland Gem
etery, who had been engaged for the
purpose if deciding whether the Peter
son Nursery company or the Koenig
plans We're preferable.
Mr Simmonds criticised both plans.
and. also refused to act in the matter
unless he We're given the privilege of
drawing up an entire new set of plans.
This method would take more time
than there is to spare, so the members
of the council decided to take the mat
ter in their own hands
The sewer committee was instructed
to get bids on the sewer, and the wa
ter committe will take charge Of put
ting in the water.
A first class landscape gardner will
be engaged to superintendent the

that Whiting may still be able TO
realize some benefit from the Lake

GIRL FROM RECTORS" MAY
PLAY IN HAMMOND soon

The Girl from Rectors" which has
scored such a great hit at the Inter
national theater in Chicago, may play
an engagement at TowIe's opera house
in Hammond On account Of the fact
that it has been driven out of the In
ternational by the order of Fire Chief
Horan.
As soon as Manager Nye was ap
prised of the fact that one of Chicagos s
best attractions was idle for the want
of a theater in which to play, he i'm
mediately got the manager on the wire
and offered him an engagement at
Towle's
He will know late this afternoon
what can be done towards securing
the attraction for Hammond. If he
succeeds Towle's will have in this en-
tertainment one of the best attractions
of the year.
The Chicago Tribune said this morn
ing:
Despite strenuous efforts by Ellis F.
Glickman. manager of the Internation-
al theater, to induce the mayor to re-
store the license which was taken
from him because of persistent viola
tion of the theater ordinances. the In
ternationaI remained closed last night.
Mayor Busse had told Glickman in
the afternoon that it would do him no
good to clamor for restoration Of his

'ERRONKEL" TICKETS
ARE SELLING WELL

If the tickets for Der Erbonkel
continue a the rate they are going now
we will sell out the house for next
Monday evening" said the management
of the Towle Opera House today, in
speaking of the ticket sale.
One man who has had opportunities
to see many German plays, in MAX
ing a comparison Of German and Eng
lish actors, says that the difference is
marked. and that there is something
fascinating about the German style
which may probably be explained by
the simplicity of acting.
The probabilities are that many of
the people who will attend next Mon
day evening will not be able to under
stand the German words. but. if there
is good acting, they will nevertheless
be able to enjoy the situations and the
delneations of characters. It ought to
be especially interesting to the student
of national characteristics.
Plot Simple; Must Be Well Acted.
AS an indication that the play must
be exceptionally well acted in order
to attain the high reputation which it
enjoys, it might be mentioned that it
is built upon an extremely simple plot.
1t might be summed up in the short
explanation that expectant relatives are
anxiously awaiting the demise of a rich
uncle, whose fortune they await, and
in order to expedite matters they CON
spfre to have him sent away, hoping
that he will die while away from his
estate. In the meantime without his
permission, they take possession of his
holdings, when he returns unexpectedly,
this throwing all of their plans into
confusion. But he is a good fellow. and
to show them, he need not die to make
them happy. be bequeaths his fortune
then and there. In an older version of
the play he marries an old maid to
spite his relatives, thus foiling their
plans But this cruel method has
been discarded for happier ending.

IS CARRYING OUT
CAMPAIGN THREATS
Tells Prosecuting Attorney at Salem
to Look Into Conditions at French
Lick-My Also Write to Charles
Greenwald About Gary Gambling
Sports Must Walk Chalk Line.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 24.-Prize
fighting at Hammond. South Bend, In
dianapoIis and other places in the
state is to get a jolt from Governor
Marshall, according to a report that
was heard last night The governor
has been informed that in Hammond
and South Bend they are having the
real old-fashioned kind of prize fights,
while in Indianapolis the fighters pun
mel each other just as hard but the
referee does not give a decision. 1t is
said that the governor is not able to
distinguish between the two and that
he will get after all OF them.
For a year before Governor Mar
shaITs Inauguration there was no
fighting in indianapolis. and but lit
tie IN other towns in the state. But
when he became governor the sports
apparently had the idea that 1t meant
a return to the old system Of wide
open license for any old thing. In
this, however. they are disappointed.
for Governor Marshall does not pro-
pose to allow anything of the kind
During the campaign he frequently
made the statement that those persons
who felt that If he was elected gov.
ernor Indiana would be a wide open
for it would not.
May Write to Greenwald.
Several days ago the governor wrote
a letter to Prosecuting Attorney Hous-
ton at Salem and gave him evidence
that gambling was being carried on at
French Lick. He requested that prose-
cutor to investigate and prosecute IL
he found that law had been violated.
Houston wrote back that he had made
a personal investigation and found
that there was no gambling at French
Lick
1t is understood now that the gov
ernor has written him another letter
telling him that no matter whether
gambling is now being carried on there
or not he must ascertain whether
there was any gambling at French Lick
about Easter time, and If there was
he must prosecute the guilty parties.
He has not received an answer to this
letter This is taken to mean that Gov
ernor Marshall intends to make the
gamblers walk the chalk line and that
he intends also to see to it that the
prosecutor does his duty.
1t is said that similar word will be
sent to the prosecutors of St Joseph
and Lake counties.

were in Hammond today and made a
thorough investigation of Hammond's
superior courtroom under the guidance
of Judge Virgil S Reiter and E. f.
Johnston. secretary of the Hammond
Business Mems association.
While the councilmen are noncom-
initial they are convinced that there
are some glaring defects in the build
ing as it now stands. and they have
signifed their belief that the building
needs repair.

Power Left to Board-Need Not
Respect Clause as to Transfers
Liability Question Comes Up.

While the people on East Sibley street
are putting a strenuous fight against
the granting of the Gary & Interurban
franchise on Sibley street. where the
running of the cars would destroy the
quietude of their neighborhood and en-
danger the lives of the school children,
many of the business men are wonder
ing why these people should oppose
a project which should benefit the whole
city, while others are sitting supinely
by and giving the project no thought.
Board Acts in Good Faith.
The board of public works has pass
ed its judgment and believes It has
attached its signature to a good fran
chise and because of the standing that
its members have in the community. no
body doubts but what they have acted
in good faith
But to the careful reader of the fran
-ohise.-~who. realizes thpt mueh-of the
discretionary power is vested in the
board of public works, and bears in
mind that Hammond may not always
have a board as honest as it's present
members. there arises grave ques-
ton as to the fairness of the fran
chise, leaving aside the paramount
question whether the company is acting
in good faith, the latter being prompt
ed by its behavior in Gary
Flaws In Franchise.
Bearing in mind that the living up
to the franchise is largely one of dis
cretion with the board of public works,
and that Hammond may not always
have men of integrity as it has now,
the franchise appears just as bad as
it did a week ago, only that 1t has a
heavier coating of sugar.
The franchise in many instances is
indefinite as. for instance, in section

ARRESTED FOR SEEMING
Two Men Gathered in for
Illegal Fishing in the
Calumet River.

George Unnderick and an assistant
were arrested late last night for sein-
ing in the Calumet river. They were
hailed into Judge Prest's office and
were released after giving bond for
800 each. In the event they plead guilty
they will be fined $3.50.
This is along the line of the policy
of the authorities to put stop to ille-
gal seining of the Calumet river. The
time was when this stream was one of
the best fishing places in Indiana but
the constant cleaning out that it is
given by the seiners has reduced the
number of fish until it is useless to
attempt to fish for them with hook and
line

FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
NIGHT AIR.

A great many people are afraid
OF the night air. "Do not 90 out
In the night air." warns mother,
and the whole family have it
drilled into them that night air is
dangerous. But it isn't. PhysI-
clans will tell you that the air Of
night is likely to contain fewer
impurities and therefore is no
more harmful than daylight air.
Of course, you may need an ad-
diticnaI wrap or coat when out at
night, but don't be afraid to
breathe. God didn't make the air
good In the day time and bad at
night.

The bulk of the honors of the eighth
annual oratorical and musical contest
Of the Lake county high schools. held
at Towles opera house in Hammond
last night were taken by East Chi
cago. and Hammond was swept from
the high place she has held for many
years as a leader in oratory and music.
1t goes without saying that Hammond
was bitterly disappointed Friends of
the school were dumbfounded when
they found they had lost the race in
music. They expected to have their
hands full in winning in oratory. but
TO lose the chorus contest. which many
in the audience were ready to concede
to Hammond. was bitter pill.

The winners- in orator.. were Walter
