Chairman James p. Goodrich by long
distance telephone yesterday, and Good
rich told him he would be In this city
tomorrow morning to take up the mat
ter. There is a robust objection In
some quarters to holding a love feast,
but many republicans believe one
should be held. SO it will not be known
until after Goodrich arrives whether
one will be held or not.
The prohibitionists have decided to
hold their next state convention at Ko-
komo. This Is new departure, as the
conventions have heretofore been held
in this city. Grace Methodist church
has been chosen as the place for the
convention, and it is said that thirteen
hundred delegates will attend.

ward. This will open up a new terri
tory to the business district of the city
2. Calumet avenue.-It is proposed to
open this great north and south thor
oughfare from it's present northern ter
minus at Root street to a point half
way between there and Lake Michigan,
where its extension would be Sheffield
avenue. This would give, automobiles
a direct route from Chicago to the
country districts and would relieve the
city streets of this heavy traffic.
B. Columbia ayenue.--It is recon-
mended to the board that this street
be extended northward from Adams
street to RobertsdaIe. This would give
the city of Hammond a direct route to
RobertsdaIe and Whiting.
A CONNECTING LINK.
A. sohI street TO Johnston street, on
Terrence avenue.-It is recommended
that the board of public works widen
Sohl street from the Michigan Central
tracks north to the Calumet river and
extend it nerthward across the Simplex
property to Johnston street, or between
the plants of the F. S. Betz Co. and
the Reid Murdoch Co. to Terrence ave-
nue.. where it would have a 1O0-foot
outlet to the north.
8. Lyman street.-It is recommended
to the board that Lyman street be
opened from Fayette street northward
to Douglass street. Thence TO Car

It will then be necessary to open the
street for a block southwark to Webb

position of the officials OF the South
Shore route, he next looked westward
to Hammond. There. through the in
huence that Mayor barrow of IaPorte
and his brother Frank Gavit of Ham
mond, had with the Becker administra-
ton, he was able to secure franchise
on one of the most important streets
In Hammond.
But Gavit had a franchise on Fifth
avenue in Gary and he wanted a north
ern outlet to Chicago. His first step
was to secure a franchise in whiting
For some reason or another he found
it advisable to have Castleman get the
franahise for him. He did not want
to show his hand to his competitors.
the Red Line and the South Shore route
Now that he has the Whiting fran
chise he viii go about securing a
franchise through East Chicago and In
diana Harbor If he gets the streets
he wants there he will be able to make
connections with his Gary line on Fifth
avenue.
Then Into Chicago.
The final step will be to force the
Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago
line to let him run over Indiana boule-
yard in Hammond in return for the
right to run over Indiana boulevard in
whiting.
If Gavit succeeds In getting through
the northern part of Hammond he will
be able to find a route to Chicago or
make connections with one of the South
Chicago lines to enter the city.
In this manner is Frank Gavit real
izing his dream of becoming the street
railway magnate of northern Indiana
1t is estimated that with the develop
ment of the cities of the Calumet region
Gavit's concessions will become so val
liable that in ten years he will be many
/ times a millionaire.

Mr. Meyer In speaking of the position

RESOLUTIONS FAVOR PLANS
9. Indiana avenuey-It is proposed to
open indiana avenue from Charlotte
avenue to Hickory street. This viii
open Indiana avenue clear through to
the east and win make 1t an important
thoroughfare.
That the question of the opening and
extension of Hammond's streets is one
of burning Importance is shown by the
fact that without any particular urg
ing one of the largest crowds that has
yet attended one of these meetings was
present, and nearly every one present
had something to offer by way of sug-
gestion.
The Hammond Business Mems assoc
citation last night passed resolutions IA
voring every one of the above men
toned improvements without dissent
ing vote. While 1t seems like a stupen-
dous undertaking for the city to open So
many streets, yet the fact is pointed
out that the expense would largely
/ fall on the abutting property owners,
and in this way would be spread over
Z tie GIllEC CITY IL mainly a SSN-
ton of the city that does not need some
street opened or extended.
PLAN WELL ORDERED CITY.
/ Instead of being a crazy quilt of
/ streets, Hammond would become a well
: ordered city with each section equally
! accessible from every other section,
| in the opinion of those who were pres
emit at the meeting last night, and it
would encourage the harmonious build
ing of the city. Vacant lots in the
center OF the city which are now built
upon on account of their inaccessible
ty would become valuable.
I There was not a man present at the
meeting last night who was not in
spired by the thought that the opening
ana extension of Hammond's streets
is the most important move that has
yet been undertaken from both utili-
tartan and the city beautiful stand
point.
The fact was suggested that 1t would
offer new routes for interurban lines
and Hammond could still maintain it:
boast of being the interurban center
OF the whole region as well as the ae-
knowledged railroad center.
STEPS ALREADY TAKEN.
City Enginee Peter Lyons informed
those present that the West Hammond
village officials have already gon.
about condemning the necessary prop
erty on the Illinois side of the line
and that the Hammond board of publi
works has taken up the work on thu
Indiana side. This insures the success
of the first great project for the open
ing Of the street through to the Caiu
met river.
An amusing incident occurred whel
some one suggested that Lyman stree
should be extended southwark to tn
Humpher road so that farmers trucl
wagons could come into the city owe
/, this street. The fact that the GENE
terry would obstructS this road was sug
gested.
Fred Carter was ready with one o
the witty and pat sayings for whic
he is well known, The cemetery woul
not obstruct the extension of thi
road" said Carter. 1T is easier to NOV
the dead than 1t is some of the liv
: ones in this town.

found to move some Of the alleged liv
ones in Hammond this city will have IT

ENOUGH BLUE LAWS ALREADY

We are not able to say what per
cent of the people of Texas desire
the suppression of Sunday baseball,
but Judging Texas by Waco 80 we
should say it is a very small per
cent. 1t is the candid judgment OF
the Tribune that not as many as ~
per cent of the inhabitants of Waco
would vote for or indorse such a
measure. There are thousands OF
people who have no opportunity to
attend a baseball game save on Sun
Jay. Why deprive them of the en-
joyment? Far better they should be
at baseball game than at some
place they might otherwise seek. AND
/. n ay be put down as assured that
Sunday baseball Will not
make the men and boys thus cheated
of little innocent pleasure attend

play itself is conceded by all author
tiles to be the greatest comedy writ
ten IN many years, one of it's chief
charms lies in the excellent opDor-
tunity provided for the actors to dis
play their talents. Rarely has a more
finished characterization been seen
than that of Mrs. Jack Temple"
the associate members of the COM
pany, each of whom is cast in part
well suited to the individuality of
the player, are seen to the greatest
advantage. Mrs. Temples Tele-
gram" has attained the distinction
of being the most emphatic comedy
success of the past two seasons and
so far this year there has been moth
ing produced which can compare to
it as a genuine laugh-provoker.
