to the end of the platform there is no

zone in the station, is considered dan
gerous.
One of the big problems of the Pacific
Electric management has been the con-
sestion on Main street. AS the cars
bunch together at the station during
the rush hours. much delay and dis
satisfaction on the part of patrons have
resulted 1t is believed that the new
platform will eliminate the congestion
and will greatly facilitate operation.

today's hearing.
Hughey, who has been engaged in

the indictment returned against him
is the outgrowth of a mining nansac-

that he refused to pay the money when
the bank failed, tying up his deposits

DRIVERS PRACTICE
FOR AUTO RACES
Checkers Disagree Today
Over Reported Time by
Daredevil Strang.

CHICAGO, June 16--The fourteen
drivers who viii participate in the In
diana Trophy and CODE Cup automobile
races on the Crown Point and Speedway
Friday and Saturday were out early to-
day, Keeling off miles at terrific speed
in practice for the big races later -
the week.
There was considerable dispute among
the checkers today over the reported
time of the Daredevil Strang on a
trial yesterday. The timers in the
grandstand caught Strang's time for the
course, at twenty-one minutes fat, an
average speed of sixty-five miles an
hour. Unofficial checkers who also
caught his time declared it was twenty
four minutes fat which would make an
average of fifty-seven miles an hour.
Strang's time is a record on the course
so far, the nearest approach being that
by Burman, who reeled of the course
in twenty-five minutes,
Colonel Sanborn, commanding the
First Infantry 1. n. G, will take 1000
men across the Hoosier line, and they
will be stationed at Crown Point during
the races, in order to police the course.
