One of the men interested in the

This made Senator Bowser very an
CRY, according TO the story, but he
finally took the aFmmond mans advice
and saw that the Hammond bill went
through.
In the house the bill had rather tough
shedding in spite Of the efforts of Wick
ey to have it passed. The difficulty
was due largely to the fact that there
was. opposition to the measure in sever
al parts of the state.

The Hammond men. who were inter-

ATTORNEYS ARE SORE
Grown Point Jurists Feel
Keenly the Attitude
Of Gary.

Judge W. c. McMahan of Crown
Point was in Hammond today. and said
that he had just returned from Crown
Point where the delegation from the
county seat have given up hope OF
having the bill passed. which would
give them extra court facilities.
The Crown Point attorneys have felt
the opposition of the Gary represent
atives keenly. They say that the at
titude Of the Gary bunch has been any
thing but , friendly one. and the peo-
pie of the whole county outside Of Ho-
bart. is arrayed against them
Gary is now standing In a position
of grand isolation as far as its for
eign relations with the surrounding
cities Is concerned. and the Crown
Point representatives say il is all due
to the fact that few misguided Gary
attorneys and business men have in
jected so much bitterness into the night
Judge McMahan believes the Crown
Point measure has as much merit as
the Hammond bill. and he regrets that
some action was not taken by the leg

REAL ESTATE MARKET

The real estate market in Hammond
opeed with very little activity this
morning, and the indications are that
the week will be a quiet one. The
business last week was at a low pres
sure. but this is not in the least dis
coura ging to the dealers They real
ize that it is only a little reaction from
several weeks of activity and they are
confident that it will pick up again in
fine shape in a short time. On the
whole they are not complaining, as
business has been fairly good during
the winter and the indications are that
it will increase steadily.
The trend of the lot purchases has
been toward the south and southwest,
which is an indication that the pros
pective purchaser is asked to take into
consideration.

The personnel of the new board was
freely discussed on the streets this aft

It is not unusual at all to see him

mits Suicide During Fit of
Insanity Because of Eff
fects of His "Scabbing"
Telegrapher's Job.

After brooding over the fact that he
was boycotted by the unions because
he took a "scab" job as telegrapher.
during the strike of year ago, the
relatives of Elmer Joy of Gary claim
that he became insane at times and
during one of these fits of insanity,
last night, committed suicide in a toll
ct room in the rear of his bakery es-
tablishment by asphyxiation with gas.
The death of Mr.. Joy, who was one
of the proprietors of the firm of JOY
& Moore. bakers, in the Brennan build
Ing on Sixth avenue, between Broad
way and Washington streets. was
brought about under peculiar circum-
stances.
Last night he went to the bathroom
in the rear of his bakery shop and,
attaching a long piece of rubber hose
TO the gas jet, covered his head with
his coat and inhaled the gas until he
was dead.

secretary of the board of health Of
Hammond, and T. B. Templin, secretary
of the board of health of Gary, at Chi
cago lats Saturday afternoon. brought
the publication of drinking water from
Lake Michigan and a senitary district
in the Calumet region a step closer
to naturalization
The meeting was one held by the
executive committee of the Lake Mich
igan Sanitary association. and was
held in the office of DR. Evans, health
commissioner of Chicago.
Dr. Weis of Hammond laid before
the committee a copy of the proposed
sanitary district bin in Indiana, copy
of which he had secured from THE
TIMES, and It found general approval
by the committee members from the
other states.
AS part Of the general scheme for
water publication the establishment OF
commission to make a thorough stu

asked. The commission as contenl-
plated would make a report on the

Legislation in Wisconsin providing
for the establishment of state labor

Since the aims of the association are

Smell Gas; Investigate.

His lifeless body was discovered
when the other occupants of the build
ings smelled the gas and started an
investigation. His wife states that his
death was due to dependency, caused
by brooding over the boycott which the
unions had directed against him.
That he has contemplated suicide for
some time is shown by the fact that
when his wife suggested that she
would go to Cincinnati to move her
furniture, her husband pleaded with her
to wait, as he feared something was

road and the work before one. Wo
men drivers sometimes become so in
terested in conversation or in waving
to a friend, that when they pay at
tention to their driving again, they
are surprised to find that they have
landed in ditch or crashed into a
wagon.
There are some things which are
impossible to teach, and nerve is one
OF them. Some women get along beau
tifully so long as the way is compar-
atively clear, but the minute some
thing unexpected turns up, like a
wagon crossing directly before them
or rapidly moving team passes, they
loose their nerve and turn the wheel
the wrong way.
In the August Pathfinder I find some
advice which l will pass on to our
motOrist friends:
Advice When crossing before a
railroad train, be sure that you have
plenty of time, as it is understood
that many railroad officials object to
having their locomotives scratched
up.
Advice Pit is alright to chase a
dog through his own yard, but it is
not considered worth while to pursue
a fowl so far.
Advice 3.-If a large bull meets you
head on, you will have to exercise
caution in hitting him so as to avoid
a puncture.
Advice 4.-To save a car from in
jury never hesitate to risk limb-of
some other person.
Advice BIT is only permissible to
run into another auto when you are
driving the heavier car.
Advice 6.-When constable
stretches rope across the road, put
on full speed and-run into the con-
stable.
Seriously, however, let me sum up
to my woman readers the most i'm
portant points, thus:
LEARN to shoot.
2.-Learn to drive with caution and
skill.
3. Learn your engine thoroughly.
Follow these three injunctions and
you may motor from Florida to Maine
with your lady friends, or alone, with
the greatest safety and enjoyment.
Leaving the subject of the machine
1self, let us take up that so dear to
the feminine heart-clothes and of
course this particular kind now up for
discussion, will be automobile clothes.
On tour of inspection, a few weeks
ago, of the stores in Atlanta l found
the dearest little auto bonnets imag-
Unable. They were small in brim, but
high of crown with a veil matching
the hat in color caught by two big
rosettes or buttons so that the veil
could either be thrown off the face or
lowered. These bonnets were in
both the delicate and subdued shades
of every color so that no one need
wear an unbecoming bonnet, and here
let me whisper to my women readers
that many heart has been caught in
the bewitching meshes of an auto
veil.
Beautiful, loose-fitting coats of
pongee and silk are to be seen
and the still heavier coats for winter
with fur collars and cuffs. Light rub.
