Knoerrer Asks for EKtension.

Otto Knoerzer. representing the 0.
K. Champion Potato Machinery COM
pany, spoke along the same line, adj
ding that the project might t. consid-
cred in a different light If the street
could be extended through TO Sheffield
avenue. and bridge provided. He gave
it as his opinion that the city did not
have any too many bridges and north
and south streets. and that the time
would come when there would be a de-
mand for a such a thoroughfare.
Joseph Weis, another interested prop
erty owner on Lyman avenue, in
speaking of the project said that at
the present time an interurban on Ly-
man avenue would be Numerically OPP
posed TO the plans of the property own
ers. as they had hoped to eventually
buy out one or two objecting property
owners and put in a petition for the
vacating of the street.
Ebert Makes Explanation.
He was inclined to look at the prop
osition in a different light. however,
in case the street would be cut straight
through to Sheffield avenue.
Adam r. Ebert, president of the
board, explained to the Lyman avenue
property owners that even in the event
that they would succeed in eliminating
any opposition to vacat'ng on Lyman
street that it would be no easy mat
ter to close the street. as the rights
OF the neighborhood property owners
would have to be considered.
Mr.. Ebert explained that the matter
of extending Lyman avenue to Shelf
field avenue and the building of a
bridge had been taken up with the
South Shore line people, and that the
company had promised that in the event
a public thoroughfare would be ex-
tended northward that they would be
willing to pay $4,000 towards indemni-
fcation of property owners or the
building of bridge
Board VIII Negotiate Further.
Mr.. Ebert explained further that this
would by no means begin to cover the
expense of constructing a bridge, as
the government specifications now pro-
vide that brides over the Calumet
river shall not cost less than 5000 000
with a 125-foot span, fact which he
said had also been brought by County
Commissioner Osca rKrinbil at the re-
| cent session of the Hammond Business
Mems association. Mr.. Ebert also said
that in the event the company uses
Lyman avenue that the board would
insist on proper pavement on the
street
Having gained these expressions
from the property owners and their
sentiment the board will proceed tc
negotiate further with the company.

Plans for Rovville Hall.

Architects Bump and Berry are maxi
ing the plans and a wash drawing of
the first Boyville, city han to be built
in the United States. These plans are
to be submitted to Golfers Weekly
for approval and If they are accepted
the campaign to raise the amount
necessary to build the city hall Will be-
gin.
TIL is is the first real step towards
the realization Of the dreams OF the
boys of Hammond to have city hall of
their own. Architects Bump and Berry
are resourceful in getting up plans OF
the kind, and it is believed that the
new city hall VIII combine beauty and
utility to a very remarkable degree.

All of the meeting Of the executive
board have ben secret and have not
been held on the regular meeting
nights. according to the charges II is
alleged that some time in February,
1908. the above-named defendants en-
tered into a conspiracy 10 defraud the
local of all the moneys collected and
that they are still conspiring to do so.
Caspar A. Weeks asks an order of
the court requiring the defendants to
discharge the duties of their office ac-
cording to the constitution and render
verified account of the funds that
have been in their possession.

PROPERTY OWNERS GIVE OPINIONS
ON FRANCHISE GRANTING

Indiana avenue property owners ia
vor the building Of the proposed South
Shore line on their street. provided ev-
cry car, local and limited, is compelled
to stop at every street intersection,
and Lyman avnue property owners IA
var the inerurban on their street pro-
vided Lyman avenue Is extended to
connect with Sheffield avenue, and the
Calumet river is spanned by a bridge.
This was the expression OF sentiment
at the conference between property
owners of these streets on one side and
the board Of public works on the 9TH
err at the city hall last night. A score
OF interested property owners had as
sembled to discuss the proposition, and
altogether it brought about better
understanding between the property
owners and the board on this matter.
The board now feels that it can enter
into further negotiations with the
South Shore line, knowing along what
lines it ought to proceed.
Board Wants Interurban.
To secure the interurban for Ham
mond, and at the same time to satisfy
the Lyman avenue property owners
promises to be one OF the hardest prob
lens that the board viii have to deal
with The demands of the Indiana
property owners are different in their
nature. and it is hoped that an agree
ment can be reached with the company
to stop at every street intersection. The
question of double tracking either on
Indiana avenue or Lyman avenue was
not considered, as this would be too
impractical. Indiana avenue being only
fifty feet wide with eight-foot side
walks, and Lyman avenue being ten
feet narrower There was some talk
by Indiana avenue property owners
providing that the sidewalks should be
narrowed one or two feet in case the
double track is laid, but this problem
was merely touched.
Want Lyman Avenue Undisturbed.
The Lyman avenue property owners
while not taking the position that they
would fight the interurban on theil
thoroughfare to the bitter end, did put
up a strong argument asking that theis
highway remain immune from an in
terurban, especially if no arrangement
could be made by which the street
would be extended to connect Will
Sheffield avenue. Attorney L V. Crav-
ems. representing w G. Paxton, spoke
against the cutting up Of the street
speaking not only in behalf of Mr.. Pax
ton as an individual property owner
there but also for the Hammond In
dustrial association. which has its fac
tory incubator there. He said thai
he believed it was the sentiment of tn,
Industrial association that the factories
fronting on this narrow street Should
remain undfsturbed

A. Weeks alleges that Martin H. Car
mody and Robert O'Conher refused TO
perform the duties OF their offices as
required by the constitution and have
refused to make reports of the fnan-
cial condition of the anion.
1t is further alleged that Martin H.
Carmody, James ]. Finneran and Rob
ert O'Conner were legally elected the
executive board of the union and have
been collecting large sums of money
without making an accounting to the
members. 1t is alleged that they have
collected initiation fees of from $50 to

country in the vicinity of Griffith yes
terday in search of some game. The

Income TaN Passe, House

Washington, July l3.-By the de-
cisive vote of 3l7 to IA, more than
the necessary two-thirds, the house
today passed the senate joint resolu-
ton providing for the submission OF
the income tax amendment question
to the stattN. The democrats voted
solidly for the measure, while four
teen republicans. led by Dalzell, the
corporation boss in the house, voted
against the adoption of the senate
resolution. A number of speeches
were made by democratic leaders
declaring that the republicans are
stealing the ideas advanced twelve
years ago by William Jennings Bry-
an and several condemned by them
until few weeks ago.
I'VE welcome the conversion of
the republican party to another dem
ocratic principle" was the comment
of Champ Clark of Missouri. An in

National Educational Association

IL looked good to Greeleyite to
see Edwin G. Dexter, once teacher
in our State Normal, but now COM
missioner of education, Porto Rico,
addressing thousands at the auditor
'ium. 1t made us proud to hear him
talk. He is doing things down there
on the island. Do you remember
that when we took that island over
the children were running about
stark naked? Do you remember that
as soon as the Yankee nation saw
that primitive Adam and Eve busi-
ness there was a kick? Did you
know that after 800 years of Euro
pean domination that eighty per
cent were illiterate and that from
few scattered schools the num-
ber has increased In that population
OF million to 729 graded schools
and 1,15S rural schools? Think
what this means. You should hear
and see the children salute the stars
aad stripes, their new flag. Rapidly
are they getting ready for full United
States citizenship.

could scarcely reply. BY this time
the street and sidewalk in front OF
the hotel were lined with people and
when he arose the blushing benedict
was greeted with rousing cheer.
He said he had made a good many
speeches. but this time he would
have to be pardoned. as he could find
no words to express himself. He
assured the judge and the many
friends who had gathered that the
earnest endeavor of himself and wife
would be to perpetuate the friend

nobly offered.
The surprise had been conceived
