Rem BELL HAS RESIGNED
Deputy Sheriff for This
District Will Quit Job
April First.

Ben P. L. Bell, deputy sheriff of Lake
county for the Calumet region, has
sent in his resignation to sherin Thos.
Grant at Crown Point, Ind, and has
asked his superior officer TO relieve him
from duty on the 1st of April.
Mr.. Bell has not given out his rea-
sons for resigning the position. which
his friends made such a fight for after
the election last year. but it is under
stood that he has other interests which
conflict with the shrieva1ity work, and
the latter takes up so much OF his time
and necessitates his absence from the
city so much that he cannot take care
of his own business. Sheriff Grant has
not announced who Mr.. Bells successor
will be, but it is understood there are
several applicants and he will have no
trouble in finding deputy.

CALLED THEM COWARDS
Crumpacker Labels Colleag
ues in the House of
Representatives.

That members of congress are lack
ing in the quality commonly known as
sand was an accusation which Rep
resentative Crumpacker of Indiana
hurled in the teedth of his fellow
members the other day. This charge
was brought out while the census bill
was under discussion. The Indiana
member took occasion to rebuke his
associates because they did not have
the courage to pass the bill over Presi-
dent Roosevelt's veto after Mr. Roose-
had put the seal of his condemnation
on the so-caled spolls provision of the
measure
Representative Miller of Kansas
drew the fire of the Indiana man by
asking why he had not included the
same provision in the pending census
bin, to which Mr.. Crumpacker re
torted hotly:
wv sent a bin to the president dur
ing the last congress and he vetoed il
and I have no doubt if we repeated
the performance there would be an
other veto by the present president.
We did not have the courage in the
last congress to take up and pass that
bill over the veto Of the president. Is
it right now to embarrass the succeed
ing president with the same question p,
MI Miller got back at the Hoosier
member by propounding this inquiry.
Why did we have the courage to
pass the bill over the presidents vetoY''
To this Mr.. Crumpacker replied: Il
don't know
Wait minute" said Miller Was
1t not because the chairman of the com
mittee on the census CAIr. Crumpack
did not present it to the house and give
the house an opportunity to pass upon
that question:"
Mr.. Crumpacker's answer was that
the bill had never been called up for
passenger over President Roosevelt's
veta because, after consultation re-
publicans by the score said that it
would not do, that ii could not be got
ten through the senate and that we
should not attempt to override the
veto"

the sale of the materials they get from
them.
Many of the business men of Ham
mond who have noted the gradual re-
duction Of the buildings of the plant
are wondering if the 6. H. Hammond
Co. does not contemplate the utfliza-
tion of the site for some other pur-
pose, or if it will not eventually be
sold 10 a concern which will make
good use Of it,
The fact has been frequently point
ed out that with the excellent shipping
facilities afforded by the Indiana Har-
Dor Belt line and the Michigan Cen
tral railroad, together with the advan-
tages Of being located on the banks Of
the river. the site of the old G. H
Hammond company will not have to 90
begging very long
Is Valuable Site
Should a good concern be located on
this site. it would boom the business
district of Hammond by bringing
large number Of workingmen near the
heart of the city during working hours
The suggestion has been made that
the Hammond Business Mems assoc,a-
ton should take up the. matter Of dis
posing Of this valuable site with the
officials Of the National Packing COM
pany and. If possible. secure a buyer
for the property.

H. " 8 F. c. STREET RY. CD.
APPLIES FOR NEW FRANCHISE
East Chicago City Fathers Have Plenty of Traction
Matters Nowadays To Occupy Their
Time and Attention

The Hammond. whiting and East
Chicago Street Railway company, last
night, applied for franchise in the
East Chicago city council for the pur-
pose of extending it's line from East
Chicago, at the intersection of For
syth avenue and One Hundred and
Forty first street. to Indiana Harbor.
The appearance of the representa-
tives of the Hammond. Whiting and
East Chicago Street Railway company
in the East Chicago council and the
request for an extension of its fran
chise was something of a surprise.
However. the terms of the franchise
were even more of a surprise The
local street railway company proposes
TO run its cars through from the
Standard Steel Car company's plant, in
Hammond. to the gates of the Inland
Steel company at Indiana Harbor. This
would connect the residential and
business districts of Hammond with
the residential. business and factory
districts of Indiana Harbor and East
Chicago. and would probably prove to
be one of the busiest traction systems
IN the Calumet region.
Five Cent Fare offered.
The running time between Hammond
and Indiana Harbor would be reduced
to % minutes. and the fare from the
Standard Steel Car company's plant
would be but cents.
It would be another Of the great
bands of steel which are now pro-
jected and which will ultimately bind
the cities Of the Calumet region in
North township so closely that there
will be one municipality in fact If not
legally.
The route over which the Hammond
Whiting and East Chicago line is seek
ing franchise does not interfere with
the plans Of the Calumet Traction com
pany. nor does 1t grant a monopoly of
the streets in either East Chicago or
Indiana Harbor.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-03-30
Route a Direct One.

The streets which will be traversed
by the Hammond. Whiting and East
Chicago line. in the event it secures its
franchise, are as follows: The route
begins at the intersection of FORSYTH
avenue and One Hundred and Forty
first street 1t will extend along One
Hundred and Forty first street to Ken
nedy avenue; north on Kennedy ave-
nue. to Michigan avenue: northeast on
Michigan avenue to Sheridan place;
north on Sheridan place to Waiting
street; northeast on Waiting street to
Pennsylvania avenue; southeast on
Pennsylvania avenue to Michigan ave
nue.; northeast on Michigan aenue to
Block aenue; northwest on Block ave
nue. to Waiting street, and southwest
on Waiting street to Pennsylvania ave
nue..
The best part of the offer of the
Hammond Whiting and East Chicago
Street Railway company is it's guaran-
tee that it will have the line built in
four months, and Manager Green said
this morning that he thought it might
be in running operation by the Fourth
of July.
The route which the Hammond.
Whiting and East Chicago Street Rail-
way company has selected is but two
and one-half miles from East Chicago
to Indiana Harbor. while that selected
by the Calumet Traction company is
FIVE miles long
The franchise of the Calumet Trac-
tion company was made special order
and was discussed at length. 1t was
apparently favored by the majority of
the members of the council and the
business men present
The franchise was referred to the
committee. the whole of which will
meet next Friday. The franchise Of
the Hammond. Whiting and East chi
cago line was also referred to the
committee of the whole, which will
meet Friday

what waned in the past two years.

make the coming reunion absolutely
the greatest event of the approaching
graduation season. His remarks were
both practical and inspiring and with
his efficient help and the guidance of
the experienced and able officers and

in Hammond whose members may well
be envied and an association that will
inspire the undergraduates to a great
er effort to attain membership to its

trouble if the police were at all active.
1t Will be remembered that Matilda
