NEED NEW
SYSTEM
The Board of Public Works
Grapples With Prob
lem for Relief.

The muddy condition of the lake
drinking water has again called atten-
fIon to the fact that Hammondse water
supply is very poor and that something
VIII have to be done to bring relief.
Ihe color of the water for the past two
days, Or since the heavy storm of two
days ago, has been black that 1t Is
Impossible to see through a glass of II.
The condition of the water. since the
last storm, has made it apparent that
Hammond's water is not only polluted
but that the primary difficulty lies in
the fact that the intake is only 1000
feet out in the lake.
RELIEF BADLY NEEDED
The fact was never more apparent
than it is now that Hammond's whole
water works system is merely patched
up affair and will have to be replaced
entirely The experience of its citi-
zens in drawing muddy drinking water
during the recent storm shows this.
Even If every source of water poi
luton had been discovered and the
abuse stopped, Hammond would still be
provided with muddy water whenever
there is a bad storm like that Of last
week. say the authorities The water
is filled with floating ice The waves
| literally tear up the bottom of the lake.
The undertow. which is caused by the
receding waves. carries the muddy
water out into the lake for a quite a
distance and that muddy water is
pumped into the kitchens of the Ham
mond people and is served as drinking
water.
ONLY ONE REMEDY.
| The only remedy which will prevent
the reoccurrence of this condition of
affairs, say those who have made a,
study of the problem, is the extension
of the intake for at least a mile and a
half out into the lake
| The matter was taken up with Adam
Ebert, member OF the Hammond
board of public works, this morning.
and he was asked if the city was plan
ming any relief along this line
/ We now have the matter under con-
| sideration." said Mr. Ebert "and we
are already convinced that something
will have to be done to improve Ham,
mond's water supply.
| Whether the relief will be only
temporary or will be permanent VIII
depend upon the cost. The only per-
manent solution he continued, would
be the construction Of a water tunnel
similar to that which Gary has built.
HOW 1T WORKS.
This tunnel extends a mile and a
half out into the lake and will insure
Gary a supply of pure water for long
time to come. OF course it would cost
Hammond a quarter of a million dol

THIS MEANS
TWO MILLIONS
Fricke Interests Between
the Harbor and Gary
the New Location.

The Calumet region has secured an
other large industry, which is closely
related to the steel industry, and en-
phasizes the fact that in this region is
to be developed the greatest iron and
steel producing center In the world.
This was first given out by THE TIMES
during the campaign, and was de-
nOunced by one or two weak sisters as
a political lie.
The H. C. Fricke Coke company, the
coking company of the United States
Steel Corporation, has decided to aban-
don work on its additional coke ovens
in Pennsylvania, which were to be
built at a cost of $3,0oO,0 0o0 and in
their stead will construct new by-prod-
uct ovens in the Calumet region.
Located on FricI<e Tract.
The Associated Press reports that
the new ovens are to be located at
Gary, but it appears that the region
of Gary was meant and that the ovens
will be located on the 800 acres owned
by Henry C. Fricke at Indiana Harbor.
Captain H S. Norton of the Gary
Land company was interviewed about
the matter this morning and said that
given out about the matter at the
present time
Attorney K. K. Knapp, attorney for
the United States Steel Corporation,
stated over the telephone this morning
that he had no knowledge of the To-
eating of the coke ovens in Gary.
Did Not Know Where.
He stated that he had heard that
new ovens were to be located some
where in the Calumet region, but he
did not know whether they We're to
be built at South Chicago or at Gary
George W. Ross. president Of the
East Chicago company, was in Ham
mond this morning, and stated to q
TINES reporter that Henry c. Fricke
owned considerable land in Indiana
Harbor and had recently added to his
holdings.
II cannot conceive of his locating
the new coke ovens in Gary" sait
Mr. Ross, when he already has valua
BILE holdings of land in Indiana Har
bor." The people of Indiana Harbor
who read the report in the Chicag,
papers this morning, made anxious in
quiries about the matter this morning
as they understood the plant was t.
be located at Indiana Harbor by MI
Fricke and the dispatches all statet
that Gary was to be the location 0
the new ovens.

PARK SITE
IS BADLY
RAVAGED
Lake Michigan Goes on a
Tear and Lake Front
Park and It's Denizens Are
Ice-Locked AS Result of
Wild Storm.

A winters tale written in chunks
of ice covering acres of area is what
the lake front park presents today
after the storm of last week. The very
ice which three days ago in a few
short hours undid the work of many
days today forms a protection of that
which it left unharmed in its mad
dampage last Friday night. The wild
waves of Lake Michigan are hemmed
in by a border of ice beginning near
the railroad tracks and extending $50
feet into the lake. On this massive
border the wintery waves break, trying
in vain to reach out to the land to
work their destruction there. ice foes
have found lodging beyond the break
water and lay inland far enough to
reach the pumping station.
Zoo Animals Are Sheltered.
The lake front park is an uninvit-
ing place these days. it's only~attrac-
ton being a wild and a beautiful win
ter scene. The north wind comes howl
ing across the lake and receives its
last touch as it passes over the shore
The pumping stations from the lake
look like cribs looming above the win
ter's surface
Not the least sufferers are the ami
mails in the zoo, who have been gath
cred there by Jacob Kasper, superin-
tendent of the pumping station. I'm
prisoned in their cages, their lives were
threatened, and they had to be removed
TO safer quarters.
The wolves are back in their cages
while the birds and rabbits, through
the kindness of Mr.. Kasper, have found
shelter in the old pumping station.
The worst danger is over, since the
ice forms a protection for the park. but
in the spring time the breakwater viii
have to be partially rebuilt.

Trades Council Official
Works to Get New Train
For Local Men.
WOULD HELP THEM A LOT
Hammond Men Would Patronize a
Special Workingmen's Train
to Gary.

H. e. Granger, president of the
Hammond Trades and Labor council,
is negotiating with l.. w. Laudman,
general western passenger agent for
the Lake shore railroad, to have a
train put on between Hammond and
Gary for the accommodation of the
wOrIxingmen of this city.
Mr. Granger says there are a large
number of men who live in Hammond
and are employed in Gary He says
that these men would patronize a spe-
cial working gmen's train and that he
believes the Lake Shore road would
get the most of the suburban traffic
if it installed such a service.
There are two routes over which such
a train could be run. One is by way
of the Nickel Plate railroad to Os-
born. thence to Indiana Harbor, via
the Chicago & Indiana Southern and
thence to Gary over the main line Of
the Lake Shore railroad
Other Route Shorter.
The other route is via the Nickel
Plate to Osborn and thence via the
Gary and Western to Gary. The lat
ter route is most direct, and Mr.
Granger believes will be the first to
be adopted.
The Gary & Western will install a
suburban service next year, according
to the plan adopted when this road
was built, but it may be that Mr.
Granger will make it plain to the rail-
road company that one train each way
a day would pay and that the train
will be put on now
At the Dresent time the only really
/ convenient way of reaching Gary from
( Hammond is over the Michigan Centra,
/ railroad, but the train service on this
road is not suited to the needs of work
ingmen.

MANY RALLY TO
ANDY PHELONS AID
Five People Call at st. Mar
garet's Hospital and
Part With Skin.
ETHICS GET A RUDE BUMP
But Unfortunate Mans Life Will In
All Probability Be
Saved.
ETHICS GET A RUDE BUMP

Andy PheIOn was provided with $50
result of the wide publicity that has
been given his case. Only 800 to 400
more pieces of skin will be necessary
to cover the surface, which has re-
fused to heal without a covering of
cutfcIe, and Andrew PhelOn will then be
assured that his leg will be saved.
Yesterday at ST. Margaret's hospital
there were FIVE people who volunteered
to part with pieces of their skin. From
them $50 pieces were taken and this
provided enough to cover a large sur
face
No more attempts will be made at the
present time to graft any more skin on
Phelon's leg and the pieces which have
been put on will be allowed to grow
and become normal again before any
more grating is done
The doctor, who has been carrying
on this work of humanity, with the
assistance of the press, has been ac-
cused of a violation of professional
ethics.
Doctor Not TO Blame.
The facts are that the doctor in
question did nothing to secure publicity
A chance remark that Phelons life
could be saved if enough persons vol
unteered to give away their skin was
overheard by a reporter who knew
that the wide publicity that THE
TINES could give the case would re-
suit in the creation of enough interest
| to secure the necessary skin and save
| Phelon's limb.
The chances are that Phelon's limt
has been saved nevertheless and the
! facts are that in no other manner
could the same result have been ac-
| complished. It would have required
weeks Of work for the doctor to have
made a personal canvass of the city
! in search of skin and THE TIMES ac
/ complished the same thing in as many
days. Professional ethics, of course
frowned on the whole thing, but Phe
Ions leg was saved just the same.
