MEETING IS
HELD UNDER
DIFF |CULT|ES
Hammond Business Mems
Association Handicapped
by Lights Going Out
While Discussing Interur-
ban Railroads.

The Hammond Business Mems asso-
citation held Its interurban meeting last
evening under difficulties. The light in
the superior court room went out when
Attorney Frank Gavit was speaking.
and he was compelled to talk in the
darkness.
There was only a small crowd of
business men present. and many Of
them left before the meeting was over
on account of the lack Of light The
representative of the McElroy Betting
and Hose company was present and
spoke of the prospects Of his company
and the proposition it has made to the
people of Hammond.
A committee was appointed to make
a canvass of the business men of the
city for subscriptions. and if a sub
stantial portion of the $4,000 worth OF
stock is subscribed. Hammond will Sc
cure another valuable industry, which
Will add to the diversity of those which
have already located here.
The company, as its name indicates,
makes betting and hose, and Mr.. Nc
Elroy stated last night that there is
an enormous profit in the sale of these
goods. He showed where fortunes have
been made in rubber.
Gavit Makes Speech.
Attorney Frank Gavit said the time
had passed when it was necessary for
the Gary & Interurban to make prom
ises. He said that 1t would not be
many more weeks until the people of
Hammond could see with their own
eyes the work of constructing the line.
He told of the work that had been
done in Tolleston, where he said two
miles of track had been laid. and he
said that there are now 800 tons Of rails
on the sidetrack waiting to be laid.
He said there is every indication that
the Hammond-Gary line will be in op-
Grafton this winter. and that it will be
in operation as far as the plant of the
Standard Steel Car company within
ninety days.
Riley Thanks business Men.
A letter was received from w J. Ri
ley of the Indiana Chicago Traction
company in which he thanked the Ham
mond Business Mems association for
the help that organization had been
to him IN securing his franchise He
said that he was surely going to build
his line and that work had already
begun at the hll, near the Columbia av
enue bridge.
The next meeting of the associa-
tion will take up the matter of civic
pride and it viii be discussed by speak
ers who will rip some of the people Of
Hammond Up and down the back for
their carelessness, slovenliness and lack
the quality extolled.
The business men of Hammond de-
cided that as a result Of its failure
TO meet the demands of the people of
Hammond for better depot facilities
they could not make use of the Monon
railroad. uHless where they were abso-
lutely obliged TO.

BOSS|E
SAID To
LIKE It

The first demonstration of the Liberty
Cow Mixer was made at the plant Of
that company this afternoon at 2
O'Clock. Bessie is said to have been
delighted with the new milker and
stood as still as though she had a wob-
bie-legged calf getting its dinner in
stead of an automatic COW mixer.
The demonstration this afternoon was
made in the presence OF a select few
and was for the purpose OF seeing that
everything was working all right. To-
morrow public demonstration will be
made at 2 o'clock when any one who
cares to see the new milker at work
may do so.
There is no question as to the prac-
ucability of the COW mflker, and It is
expected that from now on the pic
turesque dairy maid will be replaced by
the automatic mixer. several of which
can be watched by one man.

TO INSPECT THE PAVING
Krinbill and Board of Pub
lie Works Will Go to
Robertsdale.

The board Of public works, together
with County Commissioner Oscar Krin-
bin, went to Robertsdale this morning
to inspect the paving work on Indiana
boulevard.
There is an unreasonable delay in the
paving of Indiana boulevard, ana Con-
tractor Davidson says that it is due
to the street car company, while Mr.
Green, for the street car company, says
he is doing all he can under the circum-
stances. Mr.. Davidson seems anxious
to have the work completed as soon as
possible, and consequently the officials
went out to see what arrangements
can be made to settle the difficulty in
as speedy manner as possible.

good attendance and that the speak
ers will pour out mcsten lead in a way
that VIII make their hearers sit I'D
and take notice.
The north side and the east side have
bitter complaint to make against the
present administration. and it is ex-
pected that the republicans will be able
to make great headway in these sec
tions of the city
There will be charges made against
the administration that will take a
good deal of explaining to get around
and there Will not be a charge made
which will not be backed up by the
cold facts. The coming week will see
the greatest political activity that

FLAGMAN
HURLED TO
HIS DEATH
Jacob Hoke, Who Guards
Holman st. Crossing, M.
c., Is Struck by Engine
and Ground to Pieces
Under the Wheels.

Never knowing what struck him, ia
cob Hoke, 65 years old. of 2S Sibley
street, was hurled into eternity this
noon when he was struck from the rear
by the south bound No. Erie on the
Michigan Central crossing. His body
was picked up a lifeless mass, the en-
gine having first thrown him high in
the air and then ground him to pieces
1as he fell crosswise over the rails.
Within a minute the entire business
district was aware of the accident, as
the shrieking whistle of the engine
blew repeated warning signals, which
seemingly were heard by everybody
excepting the unfortunate victim.
1t seems that Mr.. Hoke. having no.
ticed the approach of the train. en-
erged from the little Office under the
tower to go to the crossing to flag It.
He had been in the office room to warm
himself and his cap was drawn deeply
over his head as he started out The
Erie is doubIe-tracked here, and the
old man must have thought himself on
te north-bound track, for he walked
along unconcernediy, carrying his flag
to guard the crossing.
Is Old Resident.
Mr.. Hoke has lived in Hammond for
the past twelve years, having come
from Kendallville Ind, where two mar
ried daughters are still living. He has
been a railroad man practically all of
his life, and has been crossing watch
man on Holman street since last sum-
mer. AS watchman he has no doubt
saved the lives of many people and it
seems a strange fate that he should be
killed in the very manner from which
he saved others.
His own personality and the high
esteem in which the various members
OF the Hoke family are held has made
them many friends here, and the sud
den death comes as a shock. not only

lily, but to the many friends Of the eam-

Whiting. Oct 15-Whittng children
are having their experiences with eat

to be candy, for two have did practical
~ the same thing. with the result that
one is dead. and the other was lust
snatched from the jaws of death.
On Wednesday evening Annie, the one
and half year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Andrew CenJel, OF Front street
was playing around the house. and
wandered into the room OF one Of the
hoarders.
Upon the dresser was a box contain
ing pills. The highly colored box at
tracted the attention of the child. Att
er reaching several times. she managed
to yet ii down and opened It. The con-
tents looked like candy to the little
child and she ate FIVE of the pills
A few moments later the mother was
attracted by her child's groans, and
running into the room found her baby

Like every fall opening in a big
store, it brings to the front the newest

furs and clothing in general That
these things take in Hammond from
a reliable store. is evidence by the fact
that the f. c. Minas company has all
ready sold out its fur stock and has
telegraphed for duplicate order from
New York.
While business is brisk in these de-
partments 1t is equally so in the other
lines, especially tn hardware and fur
niture lines. 1t is the boast of the Minas
store that 1t caters to a good class
Of trade, and its furniture stock is

f1edly the best season that the store has

All Goes Fairly Well at the

Matter of Clerkship Is
Reached-Then Pandemo-

For treasurer-Frank Zawadski.

In a hall seething with mass Of
humanity, some seven or eight demo-
Gratis and interested spectators, Tom
Knots was crowned hero Of Gary's
insurgent democracy. and incidentally
named as their candidate for mayor.
As was expected. the cut and dried
program was neatly executed up to
the time that the contest occurred for
the office of city clerk. when suddenly
pandemonium broke loose IN full blast
and the convention was converted into
an uncomfortable mob Of near-rioters.
Poor Mr.. Zawadski.
The only contest for any OF the Of
fees was for city clerk. Up until the
hour Of calling the convention not only
was there no contest for city treasurer,
but there was absolutely no candidate
who would submit to having this bur-
den placed on his shoulders As So

Zawadski, who is now in Milwaukee

National Alliance. unable to defend
himself, was condemned to accept the
