SOME NOT
WELL POSTED
Consensus of Opinion Seems
to be That City Should
Get Road.

Never before during all :he three
months that the Indiana and Chicago
Traction franchise has been before the
city administration did the people of
Hammond just realize just what it
means to the city to turn an interurban
away
With the semi ultimatum by the
board Of public works on one side. in
sisting that the company use the loop
or get no franchise and the Indiana
and Chicago Traction company on the
other. refusing TO come into the city
if compelled to use the loop, people are
realizing the situation.
Nevertheless, there seems to be con-
siderable misnformation abroad re-
garding the issues and just where the
sources of information are is a mys-
terry. Only a few days ago THE TIMES
printed first. and exclusively. the A.
l. Drum Co.'S proposition that it would
allow the Indiana and Chicago Trac-
tion to use the loop at 10 cents a car,
provided the latter used the loop for at
least seventy-two ears a day.
MisinfOrmnti0n Is Abroad.
As late as yesterday afternoon, how
ever. there were still people to be
round VINO controI frontage in the loop
district, who say that the proposition
is to the effect that the I. & c. Traction
company must pay cents for each
passenger it hauls over the Red lines
loop. one of these men, looking at 1t
in that light, said that it would be en-
tirely unfair to force the new company
around the loop on such a holdup and
hp ch he tar
from the city for this. Another man
who controls still more frontage said
that he really had not given the matter
any thought, and another who also said
that he did not study the question said
promptly that the Indiana & Chicago
Traction company should take its line
to the hot place. but upon second con-
sideration thought that wouldn't be
fair either and finally said that he
didn't know what should be done under
the circumstances and even more final.
ly thought the company ought to &c
aroundl the loop. One other man who
had given the subject thorough study
said there were only two places fol
the company. either around the looI
or in the same place, which neighbol
aforementioned had suggested.
One Is Reasonable.
Another man. also in the loop say
that much as he would like to see tn,
company use the loop. he did not wan
1t so much that the company ought t,
be barred from the city if it refuses
The above are a few of the sentiment
expressed by some of the representa-
tive business men in the loop. The,
prove two things, that first the peopl
in the loop have not given the subjec
the serious study that they should hav,
given it. and. secondly. that conse
quently the board cannot be voicing tn
sentiment of the loop people by insist
ing on the loop route or barring tn
company
Outside OF the loop district the sen
timent is not so vague. There tn
business men. who are in touch wit
the situation, say the interurban ough
to come into the city by all means, loo,
or no loop.
The board meets again next Tuesda
morning with W. J. Riley the com
pany's representative, to find some 9th
er way out of the predicament

ERIE STRIKE THAT LASTED
FOUR YEARS NOW CALLED OFF

dispatch from Huntington is to
the effect that the strike which has
been on for the past five years on
the Erie road had been declared off
This will be welcome news to both the
railroad officials and the men who have
been on a strike.
The action is a victory for the rail-
road and the open shop will be main
tained as a result of the settling of
the strike. The strike was declared off
by a meeting of the grand lodge in
Kansas City.
Huntington paper has the follow
ing to say about this great industrial
battle which caused so much suffering
and sorrow before. it was finally set
tied:
Began in 1904.
The strike was ordered in 1904, at
which time boilermakers and helpers
to the number Of fifty or sixty in the
local shops laid down their tools and
walked out. Most all of those who
went out then are now employed else
where, some of whom were benefited
by the strike, while others did not
fare so well.
The strike was a detriment to the
city, the company and the boilerma-
kers as well. 1t was an injury to
the city because the boys who went
out were all home guards, many of
them owning property here. 1t was
an injury to them because they lost
that for which they struck, to say
nothing of time lost For a long time
they were at the expense of practical

Three prominent Lake county farm

Of creston and Frank Stark of St.

grand jury in its May session at Indi-
anapolis,, on charges of having doc

were served yesterday evening by Dep

The indictment of the Lake county
farmers will undoubtedly cause a stir
in rural circles, especially when 1t be-
comes known that Uncle Sam is back
ing the county and state authorities
up in everything that they do. The axe
fell on Messrs. Bruce, Klein and Stark,
although some twenty farmers have
been under surveillance, but the federal
inspectors are satisfied that they have
the strongest evidence against these
men. and consequently their indict-
ment followed. It was surprising that
the true bills should be returned, es-
pecially against these three men, for
each of them is highly respected in his
community, and among the farmers

young girl, Eva Fellonova, who. having
met with misfortune in a sincere effort
to regenerate herself. works powerfully
upon other personalities and interests
with dramatic results The story, with its
sympathetic love interest human appeal
and uplifting sentiment, deals with a gov
ernor of western state who. in be-
friending Eva, antagoniZes his party
boss Walter Dover. and so jeooardizes
his political future. The first act opens in
the governors Office at the capital, and
the recitation Of Eva's story to the gov
ernor gives Nine. kalich one of her
most effective scenes.
In the second act Eva has found a
haven in the home of Mrs. Murrush. a
charity worker with heart. Happy and
contented she learns to love Pietro Car
vony, the other political boss, who. upon
her confession of love for him, proffers
an alliance without marriage. The re-
lection of this offer. with the consequent
anguish of Eva's blasted love and hopes,
affords Mime. Kalich one of her great
est emotional opportunities.
The third act introduces political con-
vention in all its excitement. The gov
ernor is experiencing the enmity of Dover
and Garvony is controlling the delegates.
Eva, in gratitude, determines to repay the
governors sacrifice for her. and so seeks
out Garvony and offers to barter her soul
for the necessary votes to nominate the
governor. GarvOny accepts and the gov
ernor is renominated. In the climax of
this act, with Evas realization of what
she has done. Nine kalich rises to
dramatic heights thrilling in realism. The

Miss Robson when she was his leading
woman. Mrs. Plant Graves presented
the marvellous brocade gown that daZZles

The brooch worn by Miss Robson in act
one was given to her by the widow OF a

some old herooms treasured by the
Brown family. The black gown worn in
the first act was given TO Miss Robson

apron.
The old grandfather clock which stands
at the top of the stairs in act one is an
old heirloom OF the Brown family, also
the pictures that decorate the walls in
this quaint New England setting. They
were dug up in the attic of the Brown
family by Miss Robson last summer.
The squab-top trunk is another gift TO
Miss Robson by friend.
The old pieces of bric-a-brac over the

by Miss Robson in different parts OF the
