ELKS WILL
HAVE BIG
CELEBRATION

So much encouragement have the To-
cal Elks received in their preparations
for big picnic which they had planned
for Sunday. Aug. s. that they have de-
cided to go a step further and make It
a general celebration for the middle of
the week. Wednesday afternoon and
evening of Aug. IS is to be a sort of
half holiday on which everybody who
can get away Is expected to go to
Kindefs grove, where the picnic Will
be held 1t was originally decided to
hold the picnic at Douglas park, but
upon second consideration the commit
tee has found that it can improve the
celebration by changing the place
At Douglas park big preparations
would be necessary in the building line
to prepare for the day, there being no
dancing floor, nor any of the nece ssary
stands. This expense is saved at Kin
del's grove, and the money used to bet
ter advantage to help along tile cele-
bration.

lieve that they will entertain a record
breaking crowd. especially in the even

TRAINS NOW
TAKE LEFT
HAND TRACKS

Hammond Whiting and Gary people
who had occasion to take Lake Shore
and Nickel Plate trains yesterday saw
given up. Switches and signals are be-
ing rebuilt to conform with the re-
mainder of the New York Central sys-
tenn. In speaking of the change Vice
President Schaf said:
Lake Shore trains now run on the
right hand track to Englewood, where
they pass over to the left track At
every junction point with another doub-
lie track railway we find some compli-
cations. for the other line always runs
right handed"
Asked the reason for the adoption Of
left handed trains in the first instance.
Mr.. Schaff said:
The custom is older on the Lake
Shore than I am. 1t seems TO have
come down from the first days Of the
roads history. 1t is believed It was
adopted in imitation of English Gus
tom, as roads in Great Britain generally
are left handed 1 understand the rea-
son there given is that the arrange
ment throws the engineers on the In
side where they have a better view of
other engines on the track
Il know Of no other road east of
Chicago that runs its trains left
handed. and so far as know, the
Northwestern viii be the only line in
the country continuing the custom when
we give IL up"

IS IN FAVOR OF
POLICIES ATTITUDE
Not the First Time That Hammond
Police Have Gone to Gary to Help
Out There-Poltics May Cut Some
Ice in the Interesting Situation
When Election Is Held.

In view Of the fact that there was
some surprise expressed that it should
have been necessary for Hammond of
ficers to make a raid in Gary, on ac-
sount of the lukewarmness of the Gary
police in enforcing the law regarding
gambling, Police Commissioner Antoine
Taper was interviewed regarding the
matter this morning in Hammond.
Il am in thorough accord with the
action of BaiIin James frost and Chief
of Police Peter Austgen in seeing that
the raid of the Gary gambling joint
was made.
From what I hear, conditions are
rotten in Gary. and I believe there
should be a housecleaning there The
law give the metropolitan police jur-
isdiction all over the county, and the
Hammond officers did not overstep
themselves when they went into Gary
to make the raid.
In fact, 1t is fortunate that there is
one body of officers in the county who
do not have their hands tied by some
one higher up. 1 am opposed to gamb-
ling, even If the games were square.
but for lot of fellows to have the pro-
lection Of the police when their games
are nothing short of holdup and their
pockets drained Of the money that
should go to their families. is nothing
short of criminal"

DOGSCARE
IN GARY
Police Sent on Wild Goose
Chase Yesterday by Bone
headed Joker Hammond
Boy Bitten by Vicious
Animal.

Several reports Of mad" dogs about
Gary yesterday caused the police con-
siderable worry and none of the re-
ports when investigated were found to
be true. In one instance a dog was
reported by the police to be frothing
at the mouth and running about at
Fourth avenue and Broadway The re-
port was turned into Acting Desk Ser
genat Miller who secured an officer as
soon as possible and hurried to the
Binzenhoff from where the call came.
At the Binzenhof all knowledge of
the terrible mad dog was denied by
those present. The proprietor Of that
restaurant who was supposed to be
the one who put in the call maintained
that his telephone had not been used.
In the light of these events it is not
believed that there was a mad dog here
but that someone was trying to per-
petrate joke on the poITce

precautions were taken to make sure
of this fact. The boy Is the son of

Shore officials here heard Of the pick
ing of Riders pockets, and notified Spe-
eial officer Bull at Stony Island Bull
had a good description OF his men when
he boarded the train and started
through the cars.
He finally found James Burk, us
West Ohio street, and Alfred Griffin,
476 West Jackson boulevard. and as
they answered to the description he ar
rested them.
The men were taken TO the Grand
Crossing police station, where they are
being held pending developments at

found on the persons of either Burke
or Griffin. as they always manage to
pass it over to a confederate until after
all danger of arrest is past
1t is possible that nothing will be
done in the matter. A. E. Kinney. $500

KLE|HEGE
CLOSES A
BIG DEAL
Hammond Business Man
Buys Undivided Third In
terest in Kleihege Estate,
and Valuation of $4,000
Is Placed on Estate.

William K1eihege Jr. has just closed
the deal by which he becomes the own
er Of the undivided one-third interest
in the K1eihege estate, which was own
ed by Mrs. Lizzie Klethege- -Bartel The
consideration was between $25.0OO and
$4,000 places a valuation OF between
$4,000 and 100000 on the estate
The Hammond real estate world had
no sooner recovered from the dazzling
deal by which Gostlin. Meyn & Co. be-
came the owners of all of the residue
property of the Webb estate when an
other deal Of great Importance was
pulled off under their evry noses.
1t is the first time in number of
years that there has been a transfer
Of Holman street property in the orig
inal town Of Hammond In addition to
the fact that the deal involves the cor
ner of Holman and Sibley streets, there
are a number of other lots involved.
Does Not Control Estate.
Mr.. Kleihege does not, however. be-
come the possessor of all of the prop
erty in the estate. His mother. who is
still living, retains the other one-third
interest The busienss men of the city
are very much interested in the trans
fer fthe property.
The fact that the Kleihege property
and other lots in the business dis
triot of the city Is tied up in estates
has always been a cause of regret
among the progressive business men of
the city.
Property in estates is never as pro-
gressively handled as that in the hands
of the individual owners One of the
heirs will be in favor Of certain i'm
provements and the others will be op-
posed to them. This has been respon-
sible for the fact that the condition of
certain property in the heart OF Ham
mond has been very diiapidated

With William Kleihege Jr. practical
ly in control Of the Kleihege estate, 1t
will be possible for him when the timee

Distressing Condition of
Miss Bessie Southack,
Who Is Brought Home.
MENTIONS SHANNON'S NAME
0verstudy and Religious Mania Said
To Be Cause of Girls Sad
Affhction.
MENTIONS SHANNON'S NAME

The sympathy of a large number Of
people o. the Lake Shore train which
leaves Chicago at 11:45 p. m. and ar
rives here at 1928 a. m. was aroused
over the pitiful condition of Miss Bes-
sic Southack, the daughter of S. A.
Southack. who lives at the corner OF
Truman AZ oakley avenues.
Miss soutnack is mentally unbal-
anced, and besides raving wildly at
times over Rev" Dan shannon. the
sensational evangelist, and imaginary
religious matters. she is violently ir-
rational on other subjects
1t will be remembered Rev" Shan
non was an evangelist who preached at
the First Baptist church some time ago
and had the whole community aroused
by the rabidness of his discourses and
the extremes he went to in his efforts
to initiate Rev. Sunday and surpass
him.
Miss southack frequently heard
Shannon and was deeply impressed by
him. Shortly afterwards Miss South
ack was taken Ill. and her efforts to
keep up with her studies in the high
school and her delicate physical con-
dition resulted in an attack of brain
fever
Conditica Fails to Improve.
She had been taken to Arlington
Heights hospital in Chicago in the ef-
fort TO give her rest and improve her
mental condition. This. however. did
not have the desired effect. and i@was
thought best = bring her home.
Miss Southack was brought home
last eening. and was so loud in her
cries that she attracted the attention of
every one on the car She frequently
mentioned Shannon's name, and it was
pitiful to hear her rawlings over relig-
ious matters. Her parents have the ut
most sympathy in their distress, and it
IS to be hoped that she will soon re-
cover.
