Everything in connection with the
dedication of the new wing to st. Mar
garet's hospital, Sunday afternoon, was
on large scale. An attendance of
three thousand people. a parade of five
hundred men representing various So
cieties, and a dinner at which between
thousand and 1900 people were serv-
ed, were some of the features of the
day. The Rt. Rev. Bishop H. j. Alerd-
ing offciated at the dedicatory cere-
monies, which were comparatively short
in comparison with the days program
PIaEA- Carried Out In Full.
The plans OF those who had the cele-
bration in charge were carried out in
detail and much credit is due to every
one who took part in the exercises.
The real festivities of the day opened
with the serving of the big dinner in
the basement of the new hospital at
1880 in the morning. From the time
the doors opened until nearly g o'clock
the guests streamed in and were served
by the ladies Of both ST. Joseph's and
All Saints churches.
The meals that they served were gen
erous ones, and there was indeed much
guessing on many sides how such a
spread could be made in so short a
time.
Parade Regan at 2.
The parade began sharply at ?
o'clock, and headed by a band of Ham
mond musicians under the direction OF

its way through the streets of Ham

about J. Frank Hanly becoming the
candidate of the Anti-Saloon League for

opposition to Senator Beveridge has

of all parties and all creeds. This has
been the strength of the Anti-Saloon

that SO long as the league follows this
line of policy and remains out of poll

No Opposition to Beverfdge.
Nowhere in the state is there the

TWO DEATHS
FROM FOURTH
CELEBRATIONS
Dreaded Tetanus Claims

Result of Slight Injuries

Saturday afternoon; shot himself with
a blank cartridge.
CLARENCE DOLSON. 13 years old.
son of Charles Dolson, 262 Sohl street
died at Il this morning; shot himself
with blank cartridge.
Lockjaw resulted in both cases, and
despite the administration of anti-toxin
and the heroic efforts of the physicians,
the lives of the little fellows had TO be
sacrificed on the altar of patriotism.
Grandmother Dies Same Day.
Harold Lacey was buried this morn
ing, his school mates at All Saints
school having attended the funeral
services, which We're held at o'clock
this morning. A particularly sad feat
ure in connection with Lacey's death
is the added death in the family. A few
minutes before the boy died the parents
received word that his grandmother had
died a Pittsburg, and no sooner had he
been buried when they hurried away to
the eastern city for the funeral
In the case of Clarence Dolson. the
wound had healed up and the boy seem
ed to be out of danger. the poison was
still in the system, and last Saturday
his arm began to swell. Anti-toxin was
administered, but without avail. He
passed away amid great pain this morn
ing. The funeral arrangements have

tate man, says that he is negotiating
with an Indiana foundry company,
which is desirous of locating in Ham

AUTO RACE
HANGS IN THE
BALANCE
Messrs. F. S. Betz and G. II.
Stewart Seem to Be Un-
able to Decide on Condi-
tions of Automobile Race
to Crown Point and Back.

Messrs. Stewart and Betz do not seem
to be able TO get together on their
proposition to pull off a road race to
Crown Point. Mr.. Betz has deposited
500 cash with THE TIMES as his part
of the stake and says to Mr.. Stewart,
Now get busy"
On the other hand, Mr.. Stewart saws
that Betz knows very well that his
proposition was, and when he complies
with its terms he will put up his money
and the race win be pulled off.
1t is presumed that these terms eth
er have to do with the route of the
course or the place where the stakes
shall be deposited. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Stewards original proposition was
TO put up the stakes at the McMullen
garage.
At the present 1t seems to be a case
of inability on the part of the racers
to get together. They both say they
will race and they both say they will
put up 800 that they can win and yet
they are unable to come to terms.
Says Betz Stalled.
Mr.. Stewart says that he met Mr..
Betz yesterday and nothing was said
about the race. He says If Betz really
wants TO race he had better arrange a
place of meeting, so that the terms of
the contest may be determined and ar
ticles of agreement drawn up.
The people of Hammond are anxious
that the race be pulled off, as they are
sure that 1t would be a great event.
but there seems to be nothing doing at
the present time.
THE TIMES offers the use of its edi-
torial rooms for a meeting place be-
( tween the prospective contestants, on
for any committee they may see ft to
appoint, to draw up the conditions

MAJORS IS
BOUND OVER
IN 5000 BOND

Williams Majors, alias William
Weaver, the porter, who worked for
John Boland and broke into the saloon.
where he stole the cash register and
took $50 from it, together with a load
ed revolver. was given his preliminary
hearing before Judge Henderson of the
Hammond city court and bound over to
the Lake superior court under $1,000
bonds, which he was unable to furnish.
Majors Is charged with burglary, and
the penalty for this offense is ten to
twenty years for the first offense and
twenty to thirty years for the second
offense.
Majors Bad Man.
1t is believed that Majors has Grim
inal record, and If he has. he will be
liable to sentence of twenty to thirty
years. That Majors is a bad man is
shown by the fact that he took an in
ferior gun because it was loaded and
said that he would have shot anyone
who attempted to arrest him while he
was breaking open the cash register.
That Majors was planning to leave
the city is shown by the fact that he
asked Cloyd Martin, 311 Truman ave
nue., what Mr.. Whitaker, for whom he
worked. would charge to have him TAX
en- to Twelfth and States streets in
Chicago. He was told that it would
cost him Sc.
Chief of Police Austgen is looking
up his record, and it is expected that it
can be shown that he has been guilty
of other burglaries in other parts OF
the country.

HUNGRY
FOR VICTIMS
Three Hammond Ladies
Saved From Death in
Treacherous Little Calu-
met Through Luck and
Bravery of Hammondite.

G. E. Jillson, 247 Michigan avenue,
called at THE TIMES office this morning
and related the facts of the narrow
escape he had in losing his family by
drowning in the Little Calumet river
south of this city, Friday.
The story had been so badly garbled
that Mr.. Jillson called to have the facts
published. Mr.. Jillson, his WIFE Miss
Iva Jillson and Miss Ethel Carley, a
friend of Miss Jillson's, all We're wad-
ing in the river.
The Little Calumet river is the most
treacherous stream in this part of the
state. There are places where it is
easy to wade across and then suddenly
there will be a deep hole eight or ten
feet deep, which has been made by a
whirlpool a some bend OF the stream.
Mr.. Jillson was the only man in the
party, and the women were having a
good time when suddenly Miss Ethel
Carley disappeared from view in one of
the deadly whirlpools.
Pull Each other In.
AS the women were all standing
close together Miss Carley pulled Mrs
Jillson in with her and Mrs. Jillson
pulled her daughter in with her. Mr.
JillsOn heard them scream and found
all three OF the women struggling in
the water
He Immediately dived in with all his
clothes on and began the work of res
cue. He got out Miss Carley and Mrs.
Jillson all right, but his daughter had
gone down for the third time when he
got to her and he was forced to dive for
her twice before he got her out.
Miss Iva was unconscious when she
was removed from the water, but she
was revived in about fifteen minutes.
Had it not been for the bravery of Mr..
Jillson and the fact that he was good
swimmer all three of thewomen would
certainly have drowned
When Miss Carley and Mrs. Jillson
were removed from the water they were
! in a death grapple and there were
/ fngernail prints on the bodies of each
! showing the struggle they had gone
! through.

LION STORE SALE
IS A BUMPER
Annual Feast of Bargains
Draws a Big Crowd
to Store.

The Lion Store never saw such
sale as Is now in prgress in that store
The occasion is the annual feat of bar
gains known as the great factory and
mill remnant sale. It is a revelation to
those who have looked over the noun
tain high piles of stock and the re-
markable prices.
Very few people realize what an en-
ormous amount of preliminary work is
necessary to get such a stock of goods
on the market. First, 1t is necessary
for buyer to visit all of the big textile
manufacturing plants in the east and
the principal manufacturers of dry
goods and make the necessary pur-
chases.
This is a stupendous undertaking in
itself To buy $4,000 worth of goods
and buy to an advantage that it
can be sold at a correspondingly low
price is big task in itself.
Then the goods must be unlocked and
placed on the carious counters for sale
1t must be marked with the prices for
which it is to be sold. and the clerks
must acquaint themselves with the
stock.
No Ietup in the Work.
All of this work must be done while
the clerks are attending to their usual
trade for there must be no Interference
with the regular routine of the days
work.
When the big crowds throng this
great dry goods emporium and look
at the piles of stock they begin to
realize what q big Institution this we'll
known store is and what a large
amount of executive ability Is required
to make possible the orderly sale of
such a large quantity of goods.
The sale this year began today with
record breaking corwds and will be
continued all this week until Wednes-
day of next week.
Mr.. Leo Wolf, one of the proprietors
OF this store. said today that the
crowds are bigger than ever and the
stock Is bigger than ever and he ex-
poets everyone to get their share of
the bargains that are now offered.

too fierce for him. and instead of try

made back To the bank wnere Mr.
