Splendid Site It's New $4,000 Club House Secured
on Muenich Court This Afternoon in the
Heart of City.

it will be easily accessible to the mem
bers of the organization, who live across
the state line.
The consideration for which the site
for the new building was purchased
was $1,000. Considering the fact that
a $4,000 building is to be erected on
this property, the cost is very small
in comparison with the accessibility Of
the property.
Attorney J. K. Stinson acted as the
attorney for the Saengerbund-F FideIia
and several of the committee. which
was appointed to secure the site, were
present when the deal was made.
The Saengerbund-Fi -Fidelia has secured
a six months option on the property.
which will give the promoters of the
new clubhouse, ample time in which
to raise the money with which OF build

SEWAGE:
DAMAGES
WATER
Business Man
Asks Why Glucose Com
pany Is Permitted to Pour
It's Filth in Lake and De
spoil Water Supply:

The Glucose sewer, which drains into
Lake Michigan, and empties within a
short distance of the fresh water in
take, is raising stink again. Not
that it laid down on the job of nause-
ating the OIfactOry nerves, at any time.
but because 1t is boring its way into
the aesthetic system of the public.
Charles Friedrich, ex-sheriff. and now
prominent business -man In Ham
mOnd, is out again with n big question
mark, asking, "Why is that sewage
permitted to flow into Lake Michigan,
despoiiing our drinking Svater.1
Mr.. Friedrich is sincere in asking
the question and knows that he will
incur the enmity of the city officials
whom he would hold responsible.
We are very tired drinking this
added sewage poured into the lake by
the Glucose.'i said Mr.. Friedrich to THE
TIMES, and a whole lot of us want to
know why it has been permitted to
go on thus far, and why no action is
taken now.
1T is true that the state board of
health has prepared an exhaustive re-
port of the situation and has also
made recommendations, but the trouble
viii lHS recommendations is, that they
are impractical or too expensive to af-
ford immediate relief
The city is in a position where it
can order the Glucose to stop drain
ing into the lake, and this could have
been done long ago. but instead the
filth is permitted to run into the lake
1t is easy enough to see why the Glu-
cose prefers to drain into Lake Michi
gan instead of into Wolf lake. That.
Of course, would ruin the ice crop there
for the Knickerbocker Ice company.
and consequently the Glucose finds it
more profitable to drain into Lake
Michigan.
Spring will be upon us soon. and
with the opening of the weather epf
denies of sickness win be on the order
of the day.
Hundreds of Hammond people have
been buying drinking water all year
and must do this again, all because the
Glucose finds it more profitable to
drain into Lake Michigan than into
Wolf lake.
People have come to me repeatedly
and asked me to do something and it
begins to look as though the people
will have to rise up and fight their
battles first hand while the city off.

Also Join in Search for Sensational
Murderer and Local Department Is
on the Lookout for Michigan Min
lister Who Slew Parishoner.

There is $500 for you if you get a
slant at this preacher and apprehend
him.
The Hammond police have secured a
good description of Rev. John H. Car
michael of Port Huron, Mich, who is a
fugitive charged with a ghastIy brutal
murder in which Aaron Gideon Brown
ing was killed, dismembered and part
" cremated in little church in CO.
lumbus township, Mich.
AS it is known that Rev. John H.
Carmichael bought ticket for Chicago
and otok a train in that direction just
after the murder it is supposed that he
is in this vicinity. In fact, if he got as
far as Chicago the chances are that he
is still in the city, or in the neighbor-
hood, as he did not have enough mon
ey to go any further

AS soon as Chief of Police Rimbach
secured good description of his man
he had it placed on a report so that
all of the officers in the city could be
on the lookout for the numbering par
son.
1t is believed by Police Lieutenant
Eli Baker of Detroit that Rev. John
n. Carmichael was in South Chicago
Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
Ernest Nehls, who has a saloon at
1o2S7 Indianapolis avenue, South Chica-
go, is the man who reported that he
had seen Carmichael.
Then, too, Nehls said his visitor had
a queer limp, which he initiated for
US, and Moore exclaimed Immediately:
That's Carmichael, all rightr
The only thing that puzzles us is
that he did not wear a fur overcoat,
but then he might have disposed of
that between Wednesday and Friday
and still be without funds.
When he came into Nehls' saloon he
was wearing a long, dark overcoat and
a blue cap with leather peak He had
not cut off his beard Captain O'Brien
has ordered a search of the pawnshops
for the fur overcoat and we will go
through South Chicago, Whiting and
Hammond with a fine tooth comb to-
morrow.
The detectives also went to Whit
ing, Ind, in search of a driver of a
beer wagon who reported to Nehls that
he had also seen a man who looked
like Carmichael The detectives failed
to find the driver.

the entire affair to be free from pomp

anything done for mere show. For
this reason there was no military dis

house were simple and plain, though
artistic, and consisted entirely of the

Washington, d. C.-Mrs. William
Howard Taft, first lady of the land,
has assumed duties without public
ceremony or oath Of Office which. in
weight of responsibilities, magnitude
of Importance, delicacy of execution
and lack of compensation, have no
comparison.
President Taft is charged under
his oath with executing the Office of
President Mrs. Taft is charged,
without oath, of administering the
social and domestic affairs of the
White House. Mrs. Taft will execute
these requirements primarily by
means of her long experience in pub
lie life. She is in full possession of
the detailed requirements of her po-
sition, has reached her own conclu-
sions, and is already making the mi
nor changes in the administration of
the executive mansion necessary to
meet her own ideas.
The addition of the executive office
building permits of an entire divorce
ment of the official business of the
President from the White House pro-
per, and this is to be availed of to
the full extent. That the main en-
trance of the White House may pre-
sent as near as possible the appear
ance of a private residence, the uni
formed police officers and frock-coat-
ed doorkeepers have been eliminated.
and in their place are negro footmen
in livery For safety an officer is re-
tanned on duty in the miniature office
room inside the main entrance, and
another on the second floor of the
mansion.
The rights of the public are recog-
nized by the maintenance of the hour
from noon until o'clock, when ad-
mission is granted through the east
entrance to the historic East Room
and the parlors of the mansion.
Mrs. Taft has abolished the posi-
ton of steward, and will conduct her
domestic arrangements through a
woman housekeeper.
While the season of prescribed Of
flcial dinners is over, 1t may be pre-
dicted that the new tenant of the
White House will conduct a series of
informal social functions during the
special session of Congress which will
bring renewed animation and social
life to the sedate and sombre struc-
ture during the first few months of
the Taft regime.

goers by walking Economically to

was ACCOMPANIED by his brother,

1t is curious fact that the invar-

tar when landing from cruise Is to
get on a horse. For purposes Of
economy one animal frequently
serves for two or three grinning sail
