whiting, Ind, Nov 12.-The oppo-
sitfon of the business men of whiting
to the granting of the blanket fran
chise sought by NJ NJ Castleman Of
Gary. is marked. AS the next council
meeting approaches the feeling over
the matter is becoming so strong that
it is possible there will be another big
demonstration next Monday to leave no
question in the minds Of the aldermen
of Whiting as to where the people stand
in this matter.
In fact, while there is q great deal
of opposition to the passage Of any
franchise at this time, the people of
Whiting are expressing the opinion
that If a franchise is granted it ought
to go to the Hammond. Whiting and
Eest Chicago line. which has been the
pioneer line in the city and which now
I,.akes valuable connections with the
other cities of the region.
The fact is pointed out that the Cast
lenan franchise viii give all of the
streets of whiting to a company that
has no known financial backing, and
will force cut Of business in Whiting

ceIlent connections with South Chicago,

was passed It would force the Ham

Saloon Fee Is Boosted.

Saloon licenses which now cost $3.50
in West Hammond will, according to
the Illinois state law, be raised to $500
and preparatory steps toward this were
taken last night, when the license COM
mittee OF the West Hammond village
board were asked to report on an or
dinance at the next session. Six trus-
tees constitute the village board, and
four Of these are saloonkeepers, and
the ordinance would undoubtedly have
hard shedding If 1t depended on their
support alone. But the state law stands
behind the measure and the saloon
keepers won't be able to help them
selves. The ordinance, which is expect
ed to be adopted at one of the near
future meetings, viii become effective
as soon as new licenses are asked for.
Apply for Franchise.
The North Shore Electric company.
operating in Thornton township. made
application to the village board for a
franchise TO erect a half mile of poles
to carry their electric light wires. The
right of way asked for is on Burnham
avenue. extending from One Hundred
and Forty seventh street to the termin-
al tracks.
The objective point of the company
is said to be ammond, but local men

BUSINESS
men MEET
President of Business Mems
Assn. and Mayor Hold
Different Views.

After President, w. G. Paxton of
the Hammond Business Mems asso-
citation had declared III favor of the
2algamation Of the cities Of Ham
nd, Whiting and East Chicago
at the "Get-Together-and- Bury the
Hatchet" banquet last night and had
advocated the promotion Of friendly
relations with the neighboring cities,
Mayor Lawrence Becker created a
real sensation BY declaring his unal-
terable opposition to this movement.
TELLS HIS REASONS.
Mayor Becker stated that the rea-
sons for this stand were that East
Chicago is and always has been cor
rupt" He said that contractors come
to him and tell him of corrupt prac-
tices in East Chicago. He declared
that there are manufacturing con-
Germs in East Chicago that would
give $4,000 If they were located in
Hammond
He even said that & man had come
to him and offered him a new suit OF
clothes and a trip to Europe If he
would urge the amalgamation of the
two cities. This man. he said. was
from East Chicago and his idea was
that amalgamation Is the only saliva
tion for East Chicago and Indiana
Harbor
WOULD RUIN HAMMOND.
Mayor Becker then declared that
amalgamation might he East Chicago's $
salvation, but in his opinion it would
be Hammo1ds ruin. In view of the
fact that majority of the thinking
people of Hammond are in favor of
amalgamation and both the Hammond
Business Mems association and the
Hammond Mems club have done what
they could to foster friendly relations
between Hammond ana its neighboring
cities, the mayors display of hostility
was surprising and caused great
deal Of comment after the meeting last
night
While Mayor Becker's speech was not

were few discordant notes struck and

who had lined up on one side or the
other in the recent campaign was sub

mond and the announcement of plans
for its future.

KISSED HIS
W|FE:'S FEET
IN COURT
West Hammond Man Makes
a Scene in Judge Reiland's
Court in East Chicago in
Effort to Win Wife's For
giveness.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago. Ind. Nov. Il. - The
unusual spectacle Of a man groveling
on the floor and kissing his wife's
shoes in an effort to win her forgive
ness. was the scene to which spectators
in Judge William A. Reiiands court
were treated yesterday.
The man, who is above the average in
size. was Jacob Fallas of West Ham
mond. who had been arrested at the
instance of his wife on a statutory
charge. His partner in crime, who was
also a defendant before Judge Reiland,
was Rose Berdna, also OF West Ham
mond. Fallas is riveter by trade and
his family lives at 151-161st street. He
and Rose have been living together IN
150th street. near the Fitzhugh Luther
Locomotive works.
Arrested on Wednesday.
The Berdna woman was arrested on
Wednesday, at which time a warrant
was also out for FaIlas, but when the
officers got Rose. Jacob was not about
The latter, in fact, did not know of
Roses arrest until yesterday morning,
when he went to her rooms and learned
of it. He went to the East Chicago po-
lice station to learn the why and where
fore and was considerably surprised to
have a warrant for his own arrest
flashed upon him and to be locked UP
in a cell
Didn't Feaze the Wife.
Mrs. Fallas was notified OF the fact
that her husband was in the tolls. and
yesterday came over from West Ham
mond to testify against him. It was
when she appeared in court that Fallas
prostrated himself on the floor and
kissed his wife's feet and the hem of
her skirts in an effort to win her fer
giveness.
The latter did not appear to take the
demonstration so seriously as she might
and on the contrary appeared indiffer-
ent about it. Judge Reiland imposed
a fine of 5000 on Fallas, while Rose
was let off with fine of $3.50, includ-
ing costs. The couple were still in jail
his morning. but Fallas expected to
raise the amount Of his fine during the
day This is not the first time the
couple have figured in the courts, they
having been arrested once before in
West Hammond.

THE GREAT CONSERVATORY.

As a conseryator or conBervationist may descend into slang. He believes in conserving things generally and especially. The forests, the children. the birds and the beasts-in short he wants to conserve everything but the public money He is alse a great call CT and promoter of conferences Not the States to conference in Wash ington to deliberate on the way :. to conserve things. Nobody ever heard of such a thing before, and probably will never hear of the like again. But then nobody ever heard of a Pres ident like Roosevelt before-and we hope never to see another like him. We are told that the Governors gem orally enjoyed the prominence of thus being called to the White House as conferees
 Lately the President sent his man Pinohot to Mexico and Canada to sum- mon the representatives of those coun- tries to what a contemporary calls a continental conference of conservation. We may remark. on the side as 1t were. that there are intimations that the British government Is a little bit grouchy because Roosevelt did not see fit to apply through the regular diplo- matic channels at London instead of Inviting the Canadian representative direct, but little does T. R. care for courtesy or precedent. Now fl is sug- gested that If he has time before his exit the President should call con ference of representative of all the nations of the earth. civilized. half civilized and barbarian. 10 conserve the interests of this old demoralized earth of ours. Of this proposition The Hartford Times says;

 There are Americans quite as pa believe that a nation which spends $400. 100000 for a canal that only helps England. Germany.

Gems No Millionaire Could Buy.

Ilt-Bits.
 The most costly wardrobe in the world belongs, without a doubt, to the Pope. Etiquette compels him to wear different garments each day Of the year, and as nearly all of them are ornamented with rich and rare gems, no millionaire could hope to purchase them even If a value could be placed on them The Pope's little skull caps are of the finest silks while his em- broidered slippers of velvet are gor- geous to look at. Still more costly are his gloves, made of white wool, em- broidered with fine pearls in the shape of cross. A special herd of fifty sheep is kept. from which all the papal wooden garments are manufactured. The surplices are of the most valuable and beautiful lace, while one long cape. the "cappa magma" which Is rarely worn hangs straight from the should CTS. and literally gleams from top to bottom with gold and precious stones. The rings. too. which the Pope wears are priceless, containing, as they do, many stones of matchless quality.
