FRANCHISE
MATTERS ARE
CONSIDERED
A. L. Drum Company, Oper-
ating Red Line, Fail to
Show Up to Consider the
Proposition Made by In
diana & Chicago Co.

Is the A. L. Drum & Co now operat-
ing the Hammond, Whiting and East
Chicago street car line, willing to ne
gotiate with the Indiana & Chicago
Traction company for loop services?
A week ago tonight at the city coun-
ell meeting the Red lines representa-
tives made the statement that they
would make the most liberal terms in
the state q any of1sas. 10. especially
the Gary & Interurban, provided the
latter would use the local company S
tracks and provided further the a. l.
Drum & Co. was given franchise on
State street to the eastern city limits.
What 1t Meant TO Them.
The proposition must have meant
much to the Red line and less to the
Gary & Interurban. which is proven
by the fact that the companies did
not set together
At the time the offer was made the
A l. Drum & Co was given credit
for showing a spirit of fairness to-
ward Hammond and other companies
it meant that the company at last was
willing to negotiate for loop rights,
but it remains to be seen now what
this spirit really meant
Attorney ". J. Riley Of the Indiana
& Chicago Traction company says his
company wants to use the loop. and
so hard has the board of public works
insisted on him using it that he was
told that all negotiations for his fran
chise would be stopped until he had
made an effort to reach some agree
ment with the A. L. Drum & CO.

End
BIG DAY FOR
HAMMOND
German Americans Will
Manifest Love for Mother
Country and Patriotism
for Stars and Stripes on
Anniversary of Battle.
Will

German patriotism, a love for the
mother country. second only to the love
that German Americans have for the
stars and stripes. is to manifest itself
in a national movement in this country,
and owing TO this. Hammond with its
large German population and it's very
active organization, the Saengerbund-
Fidelia, will undoubtedly take a con-
spicuous part in the celebration.
Sept 2 has been set aside by the
German National Alliance for the ma
wide celebration but this day is
not arbitrary by any means. the un-
derstanding being each community set
aside at least one day year in honor
of the fatherland. Sept . has been
chosen, because it is the anniversary
of the battle Of Sedan. the day when
the German army routed the French
from their last stand that they could
make in the Franco Prussian war. This
day more than any other consequently
cemented the national bond from which
the rejuvenated German empire came
forth as one of the leading nations of
the world
Under the Auspices of the Singers.
This Celebration was only recently
decided upon by the German National
Alliance, but the Saengerbund-F -Ffdelia
awoke to the possibilities of the day
in Hammond has already taken the
matter under consideration. and at the
directors meeting this evening it viii
come up for formal discussion.
F. c. Miller. president Of the organ
ization, in spirit Of enthusiasm. has
taken it upon himself to sound the
! business men Of Hammond on the ques-
ton and has already secured a hearty
! Endorsement for the movement not
only that. but an assurance that finan-
/ cial aid would be forthcoming If need
/ be.
The plans for the celebration are, O.
/ course. only in their embryotic state
\ but it appears at once that the under
/ taking will have TO be on large scale
1 The weather permitting, it is probable
/ that the celebration will be held a
i Harrison Park. where the people may
/ gather in the open for a general joluh
cation. which is to be rounded out by
good music. speaking and pastimes foi
old and young.

CHARGES OF
CRUELTY
Brooks and Brooks Are Well
Known to Vaudeville
Theatrical World.

ono If the surprises of the day came
shis morning when it was learned that
Eliza Brooks, through her attorneys,
NIcAleer Brothers. fled suit in the Lake
superior court in which she asks for
an absolute divorce and $1,000 alimony
from her husband, Harvey Brooks,
prominent Snowman in Hammond and
East Chicago who has also played IN
Gary and Whiting. Under the name
Of Brooks and Brooks the couple has
appeared in vaudeville in the largest
cities of the land
Has High Temper.
In her complaint Mrs. Brooks states
that she and her husband were mar
ried June u. 1904 and separated April
p. 1909. She says that her husband
has a high temper which he could not
control.
She says that he cursed her and used
obscene and licentious language in her
presence. She claims that he frequent
" beat her and on the 27th day of
April, 1909, struck her on the mouth
and in the eye with his fist
Mrs Brooks states that Harvey
Brooks is in the show business, in
which he makes considerable money.
She asks shat the court grant her ali
mony to the extent Of $1,000 and restore
her maiden name, which was Eliza Boil
siger.
News n Surprise.
The fling of the case attracted q
great deal Of attention in Hammond
where Harvey Brooks was at one time
the manager of Brooks theater in the
old Holman opera house and where
he has recently purchase dthe lease Of
the Colonial theater.
Tt is also a matter of surprise il
East Chicago. where for some time Mr
Brooks has managed fve-cent theatel
with considerable success. To all ap
pearances Mrs Brooks and her husband
got along nicely and she seemed to b.
a great help to him in the conduct q
his various theatrical enterprises
Was n Fayorite.
When the Brooks ran their theate
in Hammond Mrs. Brooks frequently
appeared on the stage in various role.
and was a general favorite on aecoun
of her attractive appearance and he
fine voice. There is probably not
couple in Hammond who are so gener
ally known as Mr. and Mrs. Brooks
and the fact that they have had troubl
will be generally regretted by thei
friends

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To cover the pan in which f1sh Is
cooking will make the flesh soft.
All lard to fry fritters and doughnuts
must be very, very hot before putting
in the batter.
Black lead mixed with vinegar will
be found to give specially good pol
ish TO the kitchen stove.
A piece of flannel dampened with
spirits Of camphor will remove stains
from mirrors or window glass.
Rub over new tinware with lard and
thoroughly heat it In the oven before
using 1t, for thus it is protected from
rust.
When washing lace never rinse It in
blue water, with the idea Of improving
its color. Real lace should be finally
rinsed in skim milk, which will give it
a soft, creamy color.
Carpets should be beaten on the
wrong side first and then, more gently
on the right. Never put a carpet down
On damp floor, for this often results
In the carpet becoming mildewed.
II. when using lemon for flavoring,
you need only half one, put the other
half on plate and cover with a glass
tumbler. This excludes the air and
prevents it from drying up or getting
moldy.
