FIDELIA
WILL DELAY
BUILDING

The Saengerbund-Fi -Fidelia of Ham
mond will delay the building of its
clubhouse until next year, this hav-
ing been decided upon at a general
meeting of the society last evening.
The decision signifies no hitch in the
society nor is it evidence of a draw
back anywhere, 1t having from the
first been the intention to build next
year when sufficient money should have
been subscribed. Within the last few
months such a feeling of enthusiasm
has cropped UP among certain members
that it was thought best to get an
opinion from the society as a whole as
to the advisability of building this
year, and for that reason the meeting
was held last evening
Money has been offered the organiza-
ton by the various banks to proceed
with the building this year, but it was
thought best to wait the allotted time.
The project was discussed pro and con
until this decision was reached.

RACES MIGHT HAVE
Melted COUNTY $500
twenty-five ents Charged Machine
at Various Points Where It Might
Enter, Is Said To Be Reasonable
Fee-Hundreds Come Across I'LL
nois Line a Week.

Hammond people who have noted the
effect of the heavy automobile traffic
on the country roads and who are
aware of the fact that many of the
machines come from Chicago, have sug-
gested that the owners of all machines
bearing Illinois license be compelled to
stop at the state line and pay a road
tool.
The owners of these machines live in
Chicago and pay their taxes there, and
yet they come out to Hammond by the
thousands each year and proceed to rip
up the Indiana country boulevards.
Some of them do not have very much
regard for the rights of the residents
of Lake county, and in the case of the
man who ran over Miss Soltwedel and
then sneaked away under the pretense
Of taking the injured girl home, the at
titude Of the drivers of some of the
Chicago machines may be appreciated.
1t is suggested that every automo-
bile that does not bear an Indiana IL
cense be stopped at the toll gate near
Roby and at other points of entrance
in Indiana and be compelled to pay a
tax o. 2 cents per car.
That this would result in the creation
of a large fund for use in keeping the
roads in repair is certain from the fact
that at the time of the automobile races
alone it Is estimated that 5000 cars
went through Hammond. This would
have brought the county a revenue of
$1,000 for the two days, which about
represented the amount Of damage to
the roads.
Every Saturday and Sunday it is no
exaggeration to say that there are 100
automobiles a day which come out from
South Chicago and Chicago. This would
bring the county revenue of $50 for
road repair.
The complaint is being heard on all
sides that the Lake county roads are
getting in bad repair. but the people of
the county cannot be expected to keep
their country boulevards in tip-top con-
dition when the Chicago people, who
pay no taxes, are the ones to wear
them out
If the Chicago automobilists would
pay small tax to help improve the
Lake county roads 1t would be to their
advantage for the reason that repairs
could be made that cannot now be af-
forded. The idea, according to the
Hammond men who suggested it. should
be taken up with the county commits
sfoners to If 1t would be feasible to
carry 1t out.
The man who is selected as tollgate
keeper could also be deputized, and Chi
cago automobilists who are guilty of
1awless speeding could be arrested as
they passed through the tollgate. The

Grant and his deputies were called out
on the trail of a horse thief, said to
have stolen horse and rig from the
neighborhood of Lassen's pavilion, Ce-
dar Lake, about 9 O'Clock Sunday night.
The animal belonged to a young fell
low named Edgerton, who works on
the Fred Yure place near here AS
soon as he discovered the rig had been
taken he, by inquiring of farmers.
tracked the rig to Crown Point. where
all trace of It was lost. Here the sher-
If was notified and he and his deputies
worked all night securing the country
for the missing animal. Early yester-
day morning the stolen outfit was dis
covered tied to a hitching post near
John Browns residence on North Main
street where it had evidently been
abandoned by the party who stole it.
1t is the opinion of the authorities here
that the fellow discovered that he was
being chased and on account of the
animal being old and not able to travel
with any speed. the thief discovered
that successful getaway was impos-
sible and abandoned the rig according
ly. This makes the sixth Sunday dur
ing the last three months that the sher-
if has been called out on a horse thief
catching expedition. and in four he has
been able to recover the stolen proper

Corporation Hopes to Have
Big improvements Com
pleted Through Hammond
by October Work Had
Been Delayed.

BY Oct. 1, this year, the Michigan
Central railroad Will be running
through Hammond on a four-track road.
This is the date set for the completion
of the betterments that have been de-
layed on account of the financial de-
preston of a year and half ago.
Already gangs OF men are at work
rockballasting the tracks. One gang
began at Calumet park and is working
this way, and the other began at the
Gibson yards and is working in this di-
rection.
When the four tracks are all In and
put in f1rst-class condition, the Michi-
gan railroad Will have the finest right
of-way through the city.
The Gary & Western trains will also
run all of the way to the new MicbI-
gan Central depot and will be 100 Der
cent more available for traffic to Toll
lesion and Gary than they are at the
present time.
The work on the new electric inter
locker, which is to be put in at the
Holman street crossing, will begin at
once. as it viii be necessary to have 1t
in good working order before the old
plant can be torn down.
The Erie Objects.
It is understood that the Erie rail-
road offered some objection TO paving
its share of the cost of the crossing
rails and the new interlocking plant
but this matter, it is understood. win
be adjusted in the near future.
With the new Monon bascule bridge
about to be opened to traffic. the tracks

the railroad center of Hammond will be

Could the deerepit old Erie and the

Of the city, the appearance of the city
would be improved 100 per cent.

1t is understood that F. c. Fricke.
who shot through the arm in an ef-
fort to prevent his wife from commit
ting suicide, IS in a dangerous condi-
tion at st. Margaret's hospital.
It IS said that last night he became
delfrious and it was all the attend
ants could do to keep him In bed. His
condition was so bad. in fact, that it
was feared he will not recover.
There seems to be no danger of te-
tanus or blood poisoning in the case
of Mr.. Fricke, but he is in a highly
nervous condition and this adds a com
plication that may be fatal
Mr Fricke is also very f1eshy and
this will work against his chances for
recovery. Later today it is under
stood that he rested easier. aIthoussa

Gostlin, today predicted that it would

The reason for this remarkable ad-

purchases. They are winners to the ex-

AS a Rule Hammond Busi-

Their Vacations at Home,
But Some Of Them Are
Seeking Recreation.

The Hammond business men who will
allow themselves a vacation this year
are comparatively few. When THE
TIMES canvassed the field among the
physicians and lawyers, it was found
that the most of them would seek an
outing, but among the business men
the reverse is found. This may be
partially accounted for in the fact that
there are more business men than pro-
fessional men, but with all that there
is still q representative number who
allow themselves the pleasure Of a va
cation.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. G. Paxton will leave
the latter part of next week, with the
Crumpackers, for Lake Winnebago in
Wisconsin. Mr. and Mrs. ]. F. Black
nun have been back for several days
a six weeks tour through the west in
which they went as far as the Pacific
coast. J. j. RUIZ and his family have
been in northern Minnesota for the
past week and will remain a week
longer. Charles Friedrich, Frank Will
liams and William Nellie and Richard
Marr and possibly others from Chicago
are planning to invade British Colum-
bit, their destination being Calgary,
Canada. Calgary by the way, is now

of the drug department in the Lion
