KUHLMAN
CONDEMNS
BUILDING

John F. Kuhlman. building commits
sion, has taken steps to condemn the
old G. H. Hammond building. now oc-
cupied by the Feneral Cement and
Tile company.
Commissioner Kuhlman yesterday
visited the building, which is situated
one-third in Indiana and two thirds in
Illinois. and found it very unsafe, and.
while he cannot prevent its occupation
on the Illinois side, he will not permit
the Indiana side to be occupied any
longer
The walls on all sides have bulged
entirely out of proportion and have no
staying power. The roof seems ready
to fall at any moment. and the floors
are weighed down with tile and ma
terial. The company, now occupying
the building, realizes the danger that
is connected with the building. and
some time ago made arrangements to
move out.

SAYS PAVEMENT IS
VERY PROFITABLE
Elkhart People Are Opposing Rub.
Der Pavement Which Board of Pub
lie Works Wants to Have Put
Down on Streets in Elkhart This
Year.

Attorney c. H Brauer of Elkhart
Ind representing the Elkhart Truth,
was in Hammond yesterday. and today
making an investigation of the paving
on South Holman street with the idea
of determining its desirability for use
on one of the Elkhart streets.
There has developed considerable op-
position in Elkhart to the plan of the
board of public works to put down the
rubber pavement, which is now being
tried out on South Holman street.
Attorney Brauer inspected the local
pavement from one end of the street
to the other. He noted the places
where the upper coating of asphalt has
pooled off and where the horses hoofs
have made deep indentations in the
pavement.
He took particular notice of the fact
that small pieces of the paving are
picked up and carried into the houses
of the people along the street. He
made inquiry in several places to learn
just what the property owners along
the street think of the pavement.
To Photograph Pavement.
Today he will have a photographer
make several photographs of the bad
spots on the street. and these will be
reproduced in the Elkhart Truth, the
principal paper of that city.
Attorney Brauer does not want the
people of EIkhart TO take his word
for what he has discovered, but will
have a reporter for the Elkhart Truth
name an investigation today, and the
| facts he is able to secure will be ussd
/ in an article in the paper.
Attorney Brauer says that the COM
pany which desires to lay the pave
! ment in Elkhart is the same one which
laid the pavement in Hammond. He
told of the discovery on the part Of
some of the business men of the nifty
| of the fact that young man in Elk
hart who is verp influential there, IS
! receiving commission on every square
yard Of pavement that the company
lays for promoting it among the resi-
dents along the street. This commits
sion will amount to several thousand
dollars, If the deal goes through, and
Mr.. Brauer thinks that there must be
a big profit in the deal if the company
can afford to pay SO much for having
the pavement adopted

MAY GET
INDUSTRY
AS RESULT I
Inventors Council of Ham
mond Takes Up Several
Promising Inventions that
Are Expected to Help the
City.

The Inventors council, the Idea OF
Otto Knoerzer, may be the means of
bringing an excellent industry to Ham
mond Inventor Parker of the Little
Giant Manufacturing company was in
the city the other day and got into
communication with f. F. Johnston. the
secretary of the Hammond Business
Mems association.
Parker has pump, which, it is said,
by those who have seen it, to be a
marvel. Parker claims that it will
pump four times as much air or liquid
than any other pump Of its size.
He had several woi king models with
him. He proved that one which he car
ried in his coat pocket could pump a
great many gallons of water a minute.
Another which he carried in his over
coat pocket could rump a proportion
ately large amount of the liquid.
May LoCste Here.
Mr. Parker said that he would locate
a plant for the manufacture of these
pumps in Hammond if he could get
support of Hammond capital in his
venture. The matter viii be taken VI
by the members of the Hammond Bust
ness Mems association at its next meet
ing.
Chairman Otto Knoerzer said today
that the Inventors council will not
make any recommendations that the
public invest in this or any other com
| pany. but will merely give it as its
opinion that the article to be exploit
ed is a good one and worth investiga.
tion by the individual.
| He said if Mr.. Parker would let 6
number of Hammond people in on the
| ground floor and would make it pos
sible for them to make an investmen
under the proper conditions, he did no

The WAGES or
SIN IS DEATH
Mrs. Sarah Eisen Was Well
Known to Frequenters of
Lake Front Park.
WOULD HIDE FROM HUSBAND
John Eisen Her Husband, Was an
Engineer on the Lake Shore
Railroad.

That the wages OF sin is death is
proven by the tragedy that happened
to Mrs Sarah Eisen in the hallway of
her home at 453 West Sixteenth street,
Chicago. when she was murdered by
Jacob Groskoupf, who afterwards sui
cided, according to many people who
frequented the lake front park in
Hammond, and have seen Mrs. Eisen
there on many occasions for the past
four years.
John Eisen. the husband of the muir
dered woman. was an engineer on one
of the railroads that pass the park at
this point. The engineers at the
pumping station say that Mrs. Eisen,
when in the company of other men,
would run into the pumping station
to hide whenever her husbands en-
gine was due to pass.
Husband Knew of Conduct.
Everyone near the lake front park
knew of the lax conduct of Mrs. Eisen
Mrs. Bertha Jenkins, the mother of
the 19-year-old boy who committed
the murder said: The woman left
her husband and went away with the
boy, who gave her his earnings. Find
ing a new admirer however. she left
! him"
Mrs. Eisen and her husband, John
who is a railroad engineer, stayed at
my boarding house" Mrs. jenkins said
and my son became fascinated will
her and she encouraged him.
Then Mrs. Eisens husband noticed
his wife's conduct, and left her.
My son left home with the woman
and the two lived at the Southern ho
| tel
Mrs Jenkins said her son gave Mrs
| Eisen his money on her promise &
| live with him. Then she left. Afte
a weeks search he found her and de
manded back the money he had giveI
| her.
When he went to the fat Tuesda!
night she refused to speak to him. an,

DEEP WELL FOR

Nearly Six Hundred Feet
Bored for Pure Flow
of Water.
MOST WAY THROUGH Stone
Hammond Dairy Company Gets a
Stream of Ice Cold Water
Now.

Five hundred and seventy-tw feet
vas the depth reached last night by
the borers who are driving a we'll for
the Hammond Dairy company at the
corner of Clinton street and Oakley
avenue. Already the makers are able
to pump six gallons of water min
ute, but their aim is to get at least
eight gallons a minute. 1t is thought
that by the time the depth of coo feet is
reached that this flow will have been
attained.
The bore was made through 122 feet
of sand and clay and for the balance
it went through lime stone. 1t was
tedious and discouraging work for
many days and for a time it seemed as
though the undertaking would have
to be abandoned entirely Then the
flow of water started. supplying at first
four gallons a minute and later six
This latter quantity has been supplied
in a regular stream.

MAY CUT OFF
HAMMOND
Developments Come Thick
and Fast Before Board
of Commissioners.
Especial TO THE TINES }

Crown Point. Ind. June 10.-In-
terurban lines are having the same
they had to get into Hammond, before
certain members of the board of pub
lie works in the latter city dampened
the ardor of the promoters by their op-
position TO the franchise of the Indiana
Chicago Traction company.
Today three interurban lines are
seeking admission to the county seat.
They are the Gary and Southern Inter
urban line. represented by II. w Sea-
man, an erstwhile promoter; the Val
paratso and Gary line, backed by Sena-
tor \. J. Hopkins of Illinois and pro-
NOTED by Francis z Keator, and the
Indiana and Chicago Traction company
backed by ". P. Ijams Of Terre Haute
and other we'll known railroad men and
fnanciers
May Cut Out Hammond.
Probably the most startling develop
ment of the day is the fact that the
Indiana Chicago Traction company ap-
peared before the board of county COM
missioneTs and asked for franchise on
Broadway from the Gary city limits to
Crown Point
This is taken as an indication by
Hammond people that the Indiana-Chi-
cago Traction company has tired of the
bungling procrastinatton of the board
OF public works and It's attempt to force
them to go around the loop past Jacob
Schloer's shoe store, and is making an
effort to determine if 1t would not be
possible to cut Hammond off from it's
map, construct a line from Indiana Har-
bo rto Gary and thence to Crown Point.
Would Have no Connections.
Hammond. the great obstacle in the
path of interurbans. instead of Ham
mond, the interurban center. would then
be without any connection with the rich
country districts to the south and the
city of Gary, which is always alive to
its opportunities, will profit instead.
When the fact became known that
Hammond might be omitted from the
map of the Indiana-C Chicago Traction
company, Hammond business men be-
came aroused Whether they will have
influence enough to change the minds
of the board members remains to be
seen.
But the appearance of three interur-
ban promoters in Crown Point yester-
day aroused a great deal of interest
and the meeting of the county commits
sioners attracted quite a crowd of spec
tators The most interesting feature

MUCH LIQUIDATION
Carried on in Yesterdays Stock Mar.
ket-The Money Situation Was
Main Factor

New York, Oct. 1.-THE liquida.
ting character of the stock market
was more clearly shown today, and
was recognized with less qualifica.
ton by the element in the speculation
which has been loath to admit the
necessities involved in the money sit
uation. Temporary reinsurance was
professed on account of the success
achieved by the clearing house banks
in evading deficit IN legal reserves
last week, but drastic loan contraction
which was necessary in order to bare
ly maintain the surplus caused the
Saturday bank statement to satisfac-
tory
Prices of stocks were pushed up the
first hour, United States steel being
carried to near 80, but thereafter liqui-
dation was renewed and very large
scale and pursued with only occasion
al pauses and insignificant rallies.
The banks called loans freely, the
withdrawal of cash from New York
for currency purposes continued large
and the interior banks drew on the
New York balances to meet similar
obligations to the government. The
subtreasury drew $2,S40,000 from the
banks.
The enormous loan reduction effect
ed by the banks last week involved,
it is believed, little liquidation OF
credits, but was due to shifting the OBJ
legation to other institutions in the in
terror and abroad. It was clearly rea-
lized that this process at the rate of
$50,000,000 a week could not longer
continue. The one per cent uplift to
per cent in the Bank OF Germany
discount rate was emphatic notice of
the determination to oppose obstacles
to further free lending for speculative
purposes. The lively speculation in
Germany has extended to American
securities, especially steel, and the
effect of the German banks action
had some direct on the New York
stock market.
The late slight Improvement in
prices was attributed to covering OPP
erations by the shorts, The closing
tone was very uncertain. The low
price of steel today was s534, com
pared with the high price Of Monday
a week ago of 94N. -
