WELL ATTENDED
Bicknell Young Speaks Be
fore Large Crowd in
Towle's Opera House.

The lecture of BicknelI Young at
Towle's Opera House last evening was
big event among the adherents of
the First Church Of Christ, Scientist In
Hammond and the surrounding cities.
The whole lower floor of the opera
house was filled with some of the most
intelligent people OF the region. who
were anxious to hear an exposition
of Christian Science.
In spite of the inclement weather
there were people present from Mich
igan City, Gary. Indiana Harbor. East
Chicago and Whiting. The speaker
was introduced by MI ". Thomas.
Mr. Young is the accredited lectur
er of the church, and is a member of
the bureau of lecturers He was
brought to Hammond under the au
spices Of the Hammond Christian Sci
ence society.
Mr.. Young described the principIe
of Christian Science. he told of its
discoverer and founder and spoke of
the belief as affecting the health and
happiness Of the believer. The lecture
was notable one and was greatly
appreciated by all who had the oppor
tunity to hear it.

TRAINS BLOCK
THE CROSSING
Enormous Amount of Traffic
Is Blockaded on That
Account.
TRACK ELEVATION IS WANTED
Erie and Nickel Plate May Be Prose
cuted for Blocking Street
Crossings.

People of Hammond have no idea
of the enormous amount Of traffic
which crosses the railroad tracks al
Holman and State streets during the
day. In fact. it takes a blockade OF
freight or passenger cars to demon
STRAIT just how much traffic over these
thoroughfares in the brief period of
ten minutes.
This morning at about o'clock a
Nickel Plate freight train was held
up over the Holman and state Streets
crossings from some unknown cause
and an Erie passenger train was stop
ped on the same crossing awaiting
the opening of the block
When the crossing was cleared a
few minutes later there had been thir-
teen wagons and a street car held up
on the Holman street crossing and
ten wagons and a street car held up on
the State street crossing. It was i'm
possible to count the pedestrians who
were compelled to wait. but there were
easily two scores of them.
Many of the business men Of the
city point to this condition of af-
fairs as an evidence that the railroads
VIII soon have to elevate their tracks
through Hammond. The police point
to 1t as a reason for their activity in
prosecuting the railroads which do not
avoid holding the crossings.

HINT At AMALGAMATIOA
Appraisers Visit Independ-
ent Steel Companies at
East Chicago.


East Chicago. Ind. March 19.-The
report of the proposed amaIgamatfon Of
the Independent iron and steel induSt-
ries Of the United States throws light
on the presence at the Interstate mills
Of East Chicago. last week, Of party
of appraisers. representing the Manu-
facturers Appraisers company Of Cleve-
land. The significance Of their mission
as having bearing upon amaIgama-
tion was hinted at at the time OF the
visitation, but was so strenuously de-
MED by all who should have known.
that little credence was given to the
rumor However. the developments Of
yesterday seem to bear It out. although
cen now no one can be found who will
admit that ANAL gamation has anything
TO do with the presence Of the apprafs-
ers The Interstate is however one Of
the notable independent concerns Of
this section. and there are plenty OF
East Chicagoans who are firm in their
conviction that the object Of the ap
praisers' visit had some bearing on the
proposed amalgamation.
The Interstate employs a force Of
200 men when they are running fun.
Since the hard times began the Inter
state has been running rather more
consistently than some Of the other
mills. notably the Republic. and its
continued employment OF quite a large
force Of men has kept the wolf from
the door of many family. which. had
it shut down as did the Republic. might
have suffered considerable hardship.

LOCATE ITALIAN CAMP
Arrest of One Foreigner
Leads to Arrest of Nine
Others in Whiting.
Especial to THE TIMES. }

Whiting. Ind, March 1S-Chief of
Police Pat Lawler and officer joseph
Vacha, through a tip they received
from James Meri. the Italian who was
arrested yesterday, went to the lake
front where they found a camp which
was being used as a hang out" for
tramps no are lettering around Whit
ing
The group consisted of nine men.
who were placed under arrest by the
two officers and taken to the station.
Here some of them confessed to having
known the Italian and saying that he
was with som. of them. on Wednesday
night when they lodged over night in
the shanty which adjoins the police
station which is kept for this purpose
The police think that the catch is a
most fortunate one. and at the trial
Of Meri it is expected that there will
be some startling developments.
BY cross examining Meri is was
found that his story went in several
different directions. and 1t would not
be surprising If he be connected with
several depredations which have re-
Gently been committed in this locality.

INSURANCE co.
MAY FUNK OUT
Parents of Pat Hartnett
Will, However, go After
Collection of Policy.

1t has been discovered that Pat Hart
nett. the man who was killed by a
Nickel Plate train in the vicinity OF
the Standard Steel Car plant. has an
insurance policy of $1,000 in favor of
his parents in Williamsport, Pa. This
discovery was made by Bailiff Frank
Shine, who went to Gary to secure the
dead mans belongings
The policy is in the Continental Cas-
ualty company. 1903 Michigan avenue.
Chicago, and the premiums are all paid
up to date. 1t was reported that the
agent for the company would try to
avoid paying the policy, but the pa
rents of Hartnett have been notified
and they will soon be on the scene to
look after their interests.
Frank Shine said today that the
agent Of the Continental Casualty co.
denied that the policy was on account
of the failure of the insured to nav his
premium to date. Shine says, how
ever, that the policy was paid up to the
23rd of March and in his opinion it
is good.
In fact, he points GU that the Indiana
Steel company has retained SO of Hart
netts salary with which to paw the
premium of the policy and there can
be no question as to its being good.
Nicholas Emmerling will ship Hart
nett's body to Williamsport today. and
It is expected that the members of the
family will be in the city later to look
after their interests in he policy.

Ing threats to her of bodily injury.

restoration of her maiden name. which

BUSINESS ON
THE FIRST FLOOR
Masons Sold the Lot to L. Piazza,
Who Paid for the Property With
$4,000 in Charge and Surprised
the Committee Who Handled the
Business.

The business men on South Holman
street were very much surprised this
morning to see several teams at work

have been drawn by a Chicago archi-
tect, and the grading contract was let
to NJ. J. Granger of this city. It is
not known who will have the contract
for the building of the new business
block.
It will be remembered when Cost

feet Of the Masonic temple property
for $4,000 to Piazza, they expected the
tender of a check for the amount
Instead Mr.. Piazza brought in sew
eral bags full of money. and when the
