COMPANY NOT
TO BUILD YET
The American Locomotive
Works Will Delay Con
struction of Plant.

The fact became known In Hammond
today that the American Locomotive
works. which recently announced plans
for the building of a plant in Gary,
the site which was purchased from
the United States Steel company. will
not build this spring, as was first
planned.
Thee work on the site of the new
plant will be delayed until next fall
and may not begin even then un-
less conditions are more favorable.
1t Is understood that the site in Gary
was purchased solely for the purpose
of providing room for the company
to expand in the future and as there
is now no immediate necessity for ex-
pansion and the plants of this com
pany are amply able to build ali of
the locomotives that are being ordered
the building Of the new plant will be
delayed Indefinitely
This information is considered au-
thoritative for the reason that it came
from one of the contractors who was
figuring on the work of construction
The plant was to have been located al
a place called Alec, and the work at
Alco will be indefinitely suspended

STORE IN BIG DEALS
Kaufman and Wolf Make
Two Monster Shoe Pur-
chases This Week.

The fact that the Lion store has one
of the largest mercantile establish
ments in Indiana was shown today
when Kaufman & Wolf purchased a
$1,000 stock of shoes from Wolf Bros
Ashland and Lincoln avenues Chicago,
and then went to Lowell, Ind, where
a $4,000 stock of shoes was purchased
from w. E. Kenney.
This makes $1,000 worth of shoes
that have been purchased during the
past week by the progressive Ham
mond merchants. AS soon as the stock
is received in this city 1t will be placed
on sale in one of the largest shoe
sales that the city has ever known.
BY making a purchase of this size the
proprietors of the Lion store We're able
to get the goods for one-half the reg
ular price and. of course. their custom
ers will profit by their ability to buy
in such large quantities.

Gary and Western May Not
Install Service for
Two Weeks.

Today-May WAS the date set by
the Gary and Western for the starting
Of their suburban service to Hammond
and Chicago. but it is believed that they
are not entirely ready and the service
may not be installed for another two
weeks During the past two weeks.
however. the company has been erect
ing stairways to the top of their ele-
vatfons at the various stops and plat
forms along the track where the pas
sengers will take the trains. This sig
nifles that they are about to start the
service. as but little more preparation
will be necessary.
Last week the stairs were constructed
on the south side of the elevation on
the east side of Broadway for the
Broadway passengers. A $4,000 depot
is to be constructed at once at Clark
road. and the name of the suburb of
Gary will be changed to West Gary.
All that prevents the construction of
a depot at Broadway at the present
time is the attempt of the Michigan
Central and the Gary and Western to
gree on a union depot which will be
built by the two railroads.

JAKE GETS IN TROUBLE
Police May Arrest People
Who Garry Concealed
Monkey Wrenches.

Jake Teitelman. the East Hammond
saIoonkeeper, was arrested this morn
ing by Frank Shine on the charge of
assault and battery on the person of
Louis Heckelman, one of Hank Huber's
express drivers.
The assault is alleged to have result
ed from the effort of the driver to
take away the piano after it had been
replevined by the owners. who sold
it to Teitelman.
The arrest of Teitelman. who is con-
sidered one of the law-abiding resi-
dents of the city. followed his attack
on the driver with a monkey wrench.
This is the second time in the last two
days that assaults have been made or
attempted with this instrument.
1t is said that the police are con
sidering the advisability Of arresting
all of the people in the Standard dis
trict who are caught carrying conceal
ed monkey Wrenches.
Teitelman was to have had a hear
ing this afternoon. He is out on s5C
bonds.

NUMBER OF SCHOOL
CHILDREN INCREASE
Census Shows Total of 1892
More Boys Than
Girls.
1878 IN LAFAYETTE DISTRICT
Fair Sex 0utnumbered By Only
Thirty-Four in the Entire
City of Hammond.

Hammond has 5.992 children of school
age. or an increase of 279 over last
year. These figures were compiled this
morning in the office of Superintendent
C. NJ Mcdaniel upon auditing the re-
turns of the enumerators, who had
been out taking the school census since
April 10.
To the man of a statistical turn Of
mind the figures are indeed interesting,
and are valuable information upon
which many facts can be reasonably
based. The Lafayette school remains
in the lead with its 1878 pupils. and
strange to say in this large number
the boys and girls are almost evenly
divided, there being only two more boys
than girls IN this district. In the whole
city there are only thirty-four more
boys than girls. which is also remark
able in view of the fact that the male
population predominates by large fig
ures in this country In the Central
and Irving districts there are the same
number of boys-313 There is only
one more girl in the Central school dis
trict than in the Washington school
district, the latter having 662.
Only four colored children attend tht
Hammond schools

MAY FIRST
WAS DATE
Attorneys for "Drys" Ready
for Business, But OPP
ponents Are Not.

Attorneys William H. Matthews of
Plymouth. Otto J. Bruce of Crown
Point, and Rev. George E. Deuel. of
Gary, appeared before the reporter of
the Lake superior court this morning
for the conditional examination which
was ordered by Judge Charles Hanley
of Rensselaer,. and discovered that the
attorneys for Theodore Binzen and
James Scanion of Gary had not put in
an appearance.
When Judge Hanley sat as special
judge in this case few weeks ago he
set May / as the date for the condi-
tional examination. He did this after
he had decided adversely against the
vets" in their opposition to the hold
Ing of a conditional examination.
APPEAR BEFORE REPORTER.
This morning Attorneys Matthews
and Bruce appeared before Court Re
porter Patton and informed him that
they were ready for the conditional
examination Nine o'clock passed and
the attorneys for the vets" did not
appear. An effort was made TO get
Judge John II. Gfllett on the wire and
it was learned at his office that he was
in Chicago and that he understood a
continuance had been taken in the case
HOW INQUIRY RESULTED.
An inquiry along this line revealed
the fact that Court Reporter Pattor
knew of no continuance and nothing
was kown of one in the office of the
clerk of the Lake superior court.
It Is apparent that there is a big
mistake somewhere. Judge Hanley'S
order was that the conditional axar,a-
ination should begin today and continue
until completed. This examination wal
to be held for the purpose Of learning
what the applicants expect to testify
to at the trial that the issues car
be made up.
SAYS 1T is INEXPLICABLE.
The attorneys for the "drys" sal
that the nonappearance of the vets
is inexplicable and that it will be re
ported to the court.
None of the attorneys for the "wets
seem to know just what is doing an,
the case has take non a very interest

tion as TO what will be the next move
CLEARED UP AT LAST.
Attorney Otto J. Bruce finally go
Judge John H. Giuett on the wire an
learned that the attorneys for tn
"wets" understood that the condition
al examination was not to be held un
til they file their answer to the court
rule regarding the question of holdin
a conditional examination.
This answer has not yet been flee
and by agreement the date for the con
dftional examination will not be set 70

No Relief in Hammond.

There may be no Eastern Star organ
ization in Hammond for at least anoth-
er year The action of the state ofhc-
ers at the recent convention. which was
held at indianapolis, was to sustain the
action Of the grand matron in arrest
ing the charter of the Hammond order.
1t is very likely that the reorganiza-
tion of the Eastern Star in Hammond
will not be possible for some time to
come and will have to be done BY those
who had no part in the recent trouble
which led TO the arresting of the chart
er
