COME OUT EVERYONE
Your Presence Is Needed at
the Superior Court
House Tonight.

While Gary and Crown Point have
been aroused over the fight for addi-
tional court facilities, the people of
Hammond, outside of the members of
the Lake County Bar association, have
as yet taken no action in helping to
advance the claims of this city for an
additional Judge
The court bills have already been in
troduced into the legislature. The
Hammond Crown Point-Gary court
fight is on. All of the Lake county at
torneys, outside of Gary and Hobart,
think that it would be a big mistake
to establish an additional court of
record at Gary
At any rate, they argue, Hammond
will lose its prestige as the legal cen
ter of the county If its court bill is
defeated by Gary's dog-in-th manger
tactics.
This is a matter of concern to every
lawyer, every business man, every
property owner and every public-spir-
tied citizen in Hammond. A mass
meeting is to be held in the courtroom
of the Lake superior court this even
ing for the consideration of a plan to
give the Hammond attorneys all of the
assistance they need in their fight The
presence of every public-spirited per-
son is desired.

one of the coterie of milIionaires has
been sent to East Chicago and the Har-
Dor to study railroad and transit con-
ditions. The young man arrived in
East Chicago several days ago and has
made daily trips here during the past
week. He is pleased with the wonder
fuI advantages offered by the Calumet
region and confided to a close friend
that he had been reliably informed by
his parent that the large Fricke coke
industries would be under process of
construction on the banks of the pro-
posed canal during the present year
