GARY MAN is
UNDER ARREST
Police Are Trying to Find
Out How He Happened
to Get Medal.

VIII Hammond become a haven for
Gary bibbers?
That is the question that is being
asked in Hammond police circles. Since
the closing of the Gary saloons the
Hammond drink emporiums have been
doing a rushing business
For instance Karl Schumacher owns
a saloon on State street in Hammond.
within 200 feet of the corners of state
and Holman street. The intersection
of these streets is the busiest place in
the whole of Lake county.
Mr.. Schumacher also owns a saloon
on the north side of Hammond. a mile
from the center of the city. but within
fifty feet of the interurban station of
the Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend
line.
Take Mr.. Schumachers word for it,
he is making twice as much money in
the north side saloon as he is in the
one on Holman street. The residents of
Gary get off the interurban cars so dry
that their voices are cracked and then
make for the booze Joint with the haste
that duck makes for pond on a dry
day.
Gary Man "PickIed."
The question was raised by the fact
that yesterday the first Gary drunk
was picked up in Hammond. He was
so badly picked that he did not know
Tom Knots is going to be the candi-
date for reelection in Gary this spring.
He gave his name as Frank Elson,
after he had been sufficiently recussi-
tated, and said he had. 'sush come to
Ham I'm m-ond in shirch of the losht
Gary shaloons."
Upon being searched he was found to
have s15.79 and a medal. He was pre-
sumably given the medal for being able
to put away the largest quantity Of
Hammond beer. AS soon as he is able
to sit up and take notice he will be
tried and relieved of the most of that
$17.7e.
The unfortunate Garyite was picked
up by officer Tratehas and had quart
of whiskey in his hip pocket when he
was arrested Had he succeeded in get
ting back to Gary the quart would
probably have prolonged the spree an
other day.

MRS. PONICK IS INJURED

According to the report which was
filed at the police station, the failure
of Conductor Whitaker to notice that
Mrs. Andrew Ponick of 672 Morton ave-
nue. had not yet stepped from his car
when he gave the motorman the signal
to start was responsible for her being
thrown to the ground and the fact
that she suffered a slight injury to
her elbow
Both Mr. and Mrs. Ponick were on the
car. They wanted to get OFF in the
Standard district and signaled to the
conductor to stop the car. He gave the
bell and the car slowed up 200 feet east
of Brown street
1t seems that the conductor saw Mr..
Ponick get off and thought that both
he and his wife had alighted from the
car. At any rate he gave the motor
man two bells and the car started.
Mrs. Ponick was thrown to the pave
ment and sustained the injury to her
elbow.

City Becoming a Haven for the
Choking who Roam the Streets
for Thirst Quenchers
HAMMOND HAD
MANY EASTER DRINKS
One Man Afraid to Go Home
to His Wife Picked UP
Fearfully "Piped."

Yesterday was a big day for the
Hammond police. They picked up such
a large number of drunks that one is
almost persuaded that good times have
returned. The police say there is moth
ing like hard times to keep the people
sober.
During Saturday night and Sunday
there were half dozen men arrested
on the charge of drunkenness. One
of the most interesting cases was that
of Adolph Miller. who attributes his
downfall to the fact that he was afraid
to go home to his wife
Miller had been drinking earlier in
the day and knew full well that a
whiskey breath and several dollars un-
accounted for would bring down on his
head the wrath of the "headness" of the
house.
Miller would about make up his mind
to go home and then. when he thought
of what he had coming when he got
home. he would order another drink
and think the whole matter over.
Man Afraid of His Wife.
BY the time he finally got ready to
go home he was in terrible state of
mind He was seeing things and feel
ing them, too. He was arrested by Of
hcer Borchert on Piummer avenue He
gave his residence as $50 Sheffield ave-
nue., so at the time he was towed into
port this human derelict was a long
way from home. A long way from the
anticipated, "A-d-o-l-p-h," and all that
would follow.
Chief of Police Austgen came to the
conclusion that eleven days in Jail
would be easy compared to what was
frau" and so he was released.
Louis Hummer, who resides in the
vicinity of the Gibson yards was ar
rested and fined 81 and costs for be-
ing drunk at the corner Of Etate and
Holman streets Hummer was picked
up by officer Einsele
Fred Murphy was towed into port
in sinking condition by Officer Mil
ler. He was arrested on Sfbley street.
He resides in PIP Michigan avenue, and
is 20 years of age.
Others Fall by wayside.
Others who fell by the wayside were
George Collins. who was picked up on
| Conkey avenue by officer Kunz and
later was fined $11, and John E. Fogar-
ty who for the second time in two
! days. was arrested for drunkenness.
Fogarty was so drunk that it was
necessary for him to be hauled to the
station in a wagon, in the absence of a
patrol wagon. He resides in 5O2 Con-
key avenue. and contributed his s1I to
the proper authorities for the privilege
of going on a bender

NORTH SIDE GETS
SOME FAvORS
Board of Public Works
This Morning Meets and
Takes Up Business.

The north side came in for more i'm
provements this morning when the
board of public works ordered the city
clerk to draw up plans and specifica-
tions for sidewalks. A petition was
renee avenue, from Ruth street to Hoff
man street, and another for a six-foot
walk on the west side of Sheffield ave
nue. from Chicago avenue to Indiana
bouveldard. adjoining Douglas Park.
In ordering the plans and specifica-
tions for these improvements, the board
had occasion to recall some of the
criticisms made about the administra-
tion some time ago by the North Side
Improvement association. Speaking of
this one of the board members said
this morning:
Ask and We Shall Receive.
The north siders have received ev-
cry Improvement that they have asked
for If they did not get enough it was
due to the fact that they did not ask
for more. When this board went into
office and, as far as we know, our
predecessors, too, have never taken the
attiture of forcing improvements on
the taxpayers, when they came in and
petitioned for them, we were always
ready, but to criticise the board for not
giving more improvements is unjust
for the reason that the board will not
force its improvements on the taxpay
ers and for a further reason that it is
up to the taxpayers either to petition
or to demonstrate"
The board awarded the city coal con-
tract to William Ahlborn. Fairmount
lump was ordered at s3.o5 a ton for the
city hall. while hard coal was ordered
at $7.o91A a ton.

WANT TO KEEP
IN SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
It Is Proposed to Assist Crown Point
In the Reception of Visiting Auto
lists and to Arrange Reciprocal
Functions Between Local Organi-
zation and of Other Cities.

Prosecuting Attorney D. E. Boone
and many other Hammond automobil-
lists are advocating the formation of an
automobile club in Hammond Mr.
Boon estimates that there are in the
negibhorhood of fifty owners of auto
mobiles in this city and he believes they
should get together and work for the
common interest.
An automobile club would be a fac
tor IN the community which could make
its influence In the interest of good
roads felt. There are certain promi-
nent thoroughfares in Hammond and
vicinity that should be opened and
could be opened to traffic If an auto
mobile club were formed and its mem
bers could work unitedly towards a
common end
The members could protect them
selves by acting unitedly against those
who are known to make 1t a practice to
throw broken bottles in the streets for
the sole purpose of puncturing automo-
bile tires. They could unitedly oppose
scorching in the city streets. which. if
continued is likely to arouse public
indignation.
Mig ut Build Club.
Mr.. Boone thinks, when the club gets
large enough, its members could build
a club house in the city where they
could have rooms and where it would
be possible to secure a square meal.
Tours could be arranged which
would be very enjoyable. on occasions
similar to that which will take place in
June. when the greatest automobile
racing event in the history of the west,
is scheduled for Crown Point, the Ham
mond Automobile club could do its part
In welcoming the motorists from all
parts of the county.
There are over fifty owners of auto
mobiles in Crown Point and. should a
club be organized there, the Hammond
organization could reciprocate with
them in many pleasant ways.
Mr.. Boones ideas seem to meet with
the approval OF many other owners Of
automobiles in Hammond and 1t is pos
sible that in the near future steps will
be taken toward the organization Of a
club.

THE MINISTER'S LOT.

WRIT IN Munsey's Magazine for
Octob, Walter Pritchard Eaton de-
clares ne course Of an article on
THE Elstry as a Profession:
THE Protestant churches are
alarmed over the dwindling number
OF sty.s-ls in their seminaries. and
the increased difficulty Of securing
worthy cruits for the ministry. The
ministc's lot. If possible, is to
be maia easier, no less for practical
consid ions-even II these are
not al confessed-than for ethi-
cal ONES.
The ig.!owing table gives the ay-
orage yearly salaries paid TO minis
ters In American Protestant churches
Methodist, About $3.50
Baptist No complete statistics
Presbyterian, About $500
CONGREGATIONAL. 1907
Episcopal, About $500
1--WE pay the working man $500
a day-or a little more-to build the
church; and we pay the clergyman
81 a day-or little less-to preach

ITO increase the salaries of minis
ters to a point where they can sup
port and educate their families in
decency and have a small margin
over for the necessity of books and
the luxury OF a reserve, to a point
where they are beyond the gnawing
cares and nervous drain of poverty
is a crying need of the Protestant
churches today.
"The demand for young, active
ministers is at present greater than
the supply, and a youth Of marked
ability is practically certain of a com
Portable living almost as soon as he

ION the other hand, to ask men
TO come into the ministry, to tempt
them to come, because of the finan-

there seems to be no i'm

SCORE ONE FOR
BANK GUARANTY.

A bank failed in Oklahoma City
the other day. The next morning
the bank was in charge of the state
bank examiner and the work of pay
ing each depositor dollar for dollar
was commenced under the provisions
of the state bank guaranty law.
There was no excitement, no hys-
terra. no fevered, pushing, hustling
mob, about the banks doors. NO

This is the first instance in the
life of the Oklahoma law that the
provisions of the measure have been
nut into effect. The results will be
watched with the closest of interest
