OPERATION

Mrs. Nellie Henry. % years old. wife
Of George Henry. 430 East State street.

Grafton for appendicitis. From the be-
ginning her case was considered serious

her there yesterday morning at
O'Clock.

band two children, little Russell and
baby Elizabeth. and her mother and

Of COURSE THEY'LL CALL
NO HOGS" ; HOWEVER

When the county council and the
county commissioners cut the next
golden melon, it is not improbable that
Hammond VIII ask for slice, worth
about 100000. Now listen to the anvil
chorus to catch the word hog" in the
echo:
On the face Of 1t. the echo seems war
ranted because of the recent $4,000
appropriation for the remodelIng Of the
superior court But that is thorough
~ county proposition, and as much
OF West Creek townships benefit as
Hammond's. while the desired 100000
appropriation is aimed more at local
relief in the way of bridges over the
Grand Calumet river.
If the people of Hammond would
realize that the lives of thousands of
street car passengers are constantly en-
dangered as they cross the Holman
street and Calumet avenue bridges. and
if the taxpayer would bear in mind
that the city is paying men daily
sometimes crew of them as high as
$40 day to turn the decayed old
structures every time a big motor boat
wants to pass. they would rise up in a
body and demand relief.
Good Bridges Needed.
Nothing less than $4,000 structure
will do for either Holman street OF
Calumet avenue, it is argued. because
of the large amount Of traffic that
each carries in addition to the street
cars. The Columbia avenue bridge
costing in the neighborhood Of $50 900
which was thought to be such "a big
boon to Hammond. is a disappoint-
ment as far as efficiency goes. Leaving
aside the fact that the approaches are
incompleted, the abutments have set

tied to such an extent that the bridge
becomes wedged and requires two men
to turn it. Whether it viii settle any
more is a question of time. but it goes
to show that Hammond must have sub
stantial structures.
Long Hours of Delay.
street Commissioner John TIUalnas n,
who knows better than any other man
in Hammond whereof he speaks in
bridge matters, says that it takes all
Of six men to turn the old Holman
street structure and that frequently
they have to be on duty all day Sunday.
When they notice a boat approaching
from Calumet avenue they begin to
sweat and labor, beginning first with
crowbars to pry the old thing from its
bed When this is accomplished it takes
about thirty horse power reduced to
manual labor to swing the creaking
heap of scrap iron and rotten lumber
BY the time it is in position the people
in the motor boat have waited for ff-
teen minutes or half an hour, some
times for three hours, meantime swear
ing blue streaks. If they are of that
nature The boat has possibly passed.
and on the bring of the glorious Calu-
met stands street car full of excur-
sionists, who are coming or going and,
while they are waiting, they are heap
ing their malidictions on the innocent
street commissioner When the out
rage of il is considered in the right
light it is surprising at the lethargy of
civic pride and that taxpayers should
have permitted these conditions so
long. but the only explanation that
can be given is that the people were

The outlook for the republican

Chicago Legal Controversy Finds It's
Way Into Hammond After Waging
Fast and Furiously in the Big
Burg-Ruse Employed to Gain Pos
session.

A fight for the possession of an au-
tomobile. which had been going on
in Chicago for some time. was trans
ferred to Hammond last night. when
NJ l. Chizzola. a Chicago advertising
man, and Frank McFadden, his chauf-
feur. were arrested here on the charge
of larceny, and the car was replevined
and re-replevined at trial which took
place al 2:45 this morning.
The case is one of the most unique
that has ever been called to the atten-
ton of the local authorities. and Judge
William ". Mcmahon was aroused from
his slumbers in the middle of the night
to issue the necessary wrfts. The
car is now in the possession of the
sheriff of Lake county, and both of
the parties to the disagreement will
be compelled 10 put up large bonds to
insure its return in the event of the
other sides winning out.
Gets Car by Ruse-
The car o11y came into the poses
sion of NJ l. Chizzola after he had
taken it from W +. Little. who claims
ownership, by a ruse. Chizzola had the
car taken to Hammond to prevent its
being replevined in Illinois.
According to the story that was told
to a TINES reporter by Mr. Chizzola
this morning. at that time the man
ager of the American Morse Car Co,
came to him and said that he needed
some money very badly.
He claimed to own $4,000 car and
said that he would sell it for $500

"Uncle Joe" Expects to Land New
Member From Washington,
With q Little Talk.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The in
surgents of the house. who expect to
overthrow the present conditions gov
erning that body at the beginning of
the special session, claim to have
among their ranks one member from
the state of Washington. This men,
ber is Representative-elec Miles
Poindexter, of Spokane, who has a
number of times announced himself
as opposed to Speaker Cannon and
the present house rules.
1t is not known here whether or
not Mr.. Poindexter, along with a
large number of others who were in
surgents up to the last few days,
deems the slight concessions already
granted by the committee on rules
as sufficient expression of good faith
on the part of the leaders, but "Un-
Gle Joe" is reported as having said
that he would have little fatherly
talk with the new member from
Washington when he arrived at the
capital and that he expected to bring
him into line.

lican party" said Senator A. S. Ruth.
81 can easily see that it would be to
the advantage of the Democratic
party to put such a plan into effect.
1t will not be long before that party
will ask that the plan be used in the
of the county affairs,
and then the affairs of the state and
of the nation"
Senator Ruth has spoken truth
fully when he says that this would
tear up the roots of political parties
so far as they are concerned in the
affairs Of Cities" said Senator George
F. Cotterill. "The roots of the po-
litical parties are in the pockets of
the taxpayers and they are drawing
out twice as much as Is really needed
for city government. The only quail
fications that should be demanded of
city officials should be that they were
competent and honest. I believe that
this is an excellent bill. "
Senator l. B. Knickerbrocker spoke
for the bill. 81 do not believe that
there are many men in this state who
have worked harder or who have ex-
pended more nervous energy in build
ing up the Republican party than !
have" said Senator Knickerbrocker.
Il believe that there are within the
ranks Of the Republican party men
amply qualified to fill the offices to
which they may be elected. This bill
is a step in the right direction and
shall vote for it,.
Falconer, who voted against the
bill, said tonight that he would move
reconsideration tomorrow. With
his support the bill will pass.

NONPARTISAN CITY ELECTIONS.
Graves Bill Providing for Nonparti-

Pass the Senate Today.

OLYMPIA, March 2. - Senator
Will G. Graves bill providing for a
nonpartisan primary in cities of the
first second and third classes for the
nomination of candidates for city Of
fees, was defeated today by vote
of 21 to 21. Before the bill was put
upon it's final passage call Of the
senate was demanded and the SER
geant-at-arms was sent to skirmish
about the lobbies and cloak rooms for
absent senators. When the tardy
ones appeared there was brisk elec-
tioneering for and against the bill
The consideration of the measure was
the chief diversion Of the day.
In explaining the bill Senator
Graves said:
"The idea of partisan politics has
no place in the administration of the
affairs of a city. In the case of a
private corporation, the best men are
selected to handle it's affairs. This
should also obtain in the affairs of
the cities, which should be placed on
plain business basis. Some cities
have adopted the plan of a commits
sion, which has nothing to do but
handle the city's business, and par
tisan politics does not enter into the
question. 1t is modern idea and is
step forward"

would tear up the roots of the Repub-
