BILL IS OF GREAT
INTEREST TO HAMMOND

Congressman Mann's bill providing
that the lake dredgings which have
heretofore been dumped promiscousiy
near water intakes shall be hauled into
the lake a distance of eight miles at
the expense of the war department,
was reported out of the senate COM
mittee In Washington yesterday, but
with an amendment tackled on which
makes the bill practically valueless.
The cities of this region are very
much interested in this bill, for what
effects Chicago in this matter affects
the Lake county cities.
The bill as reported out of the COM
mittee yesterday had in it an amend
ment that the taxpayers of Chica go
shall pay for the extra haul, whereas
1t was the spirit of the Mann biz that
the United States government should
pay the difference. AS 1t is now the
bill is emasculated, but 1t Is hoped to
get 1t into shape in a Joint conference
between a senate and house -nommittee
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1910-05-13

The amendment provides that the
act shall not become effective until
the city of Chicago has made provis-
ion satisfactory to the secretary of
war for paying the cost of proper in
spection, and has provided suitable
dumping grounds behind bulkheads &C
cessible to dumping scows in which
to deposit material dredged in the ex-
cavation of government work, and has
made provision for the extra expense
of long hauls to which the government
will be subject"
The report of the trustees of the
sanitary district favoring the opening
of the Sag channel is also claiming the
attention of the people of this dis
trict. The question is an old gne. one
that has been agitated for years. but
now 1t has bodied up with new vigor
and there is possible chance that the
project Of opening the Sag channel
thus reversing the flow of the Grand
Calumet river, may materialize.

Meeting Thursday.
1t was finally decided to hold a spe-
cial meeting Thursday. May 10. at the
parlors of the Majestic hotel, at which
the question OF the change in the name
Of the organization will be taken up.
Secretary e. r. Johnston stated that
he had taken the matter of improving
the Holman street crossing up with
the Michigan Central railroad, and that
company had laid the blame on the
street railway company. He then said
that he spoke to Manager Green OF the
Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago
line about the matter. and he said, OF
course, the railroad would shift the
blame on to the street railway com
pany.

a touch of color which makes the whole
room beautifully harmonious.
| There is a comfortable. homelike
space partftioned off for the exclusive
use of the ladies and the window seats
| in this portion of the bank are uphol-
stored with black leather.
Then along the north side of the
room are the various windows for the
paying and receiving tellers and 9TH
er employees of the bank. There is a
cashiers room and a beautifully fur
nished directors room
Fixtures Are Colonial.
The electric light fixtures are of
brushed brass of colonial design and
add greatly to the ornamentation of
the banking room. In the rear of the
main banking room is the great mas
sive safe which is to receive the depos-
its of the patrons of the bank. 1t is
partitioned off into two compartments
by means of an ornamental iron crate
and safe deposit boxes are provided in
ample numbers.
The bank is believed to be large
enough to take care of the business
of the institution for several years to
come. but when the necessity requires
it will be possible to tear out the
north partition and make an equally
large space available for banking pur-
poses Thus the future growth of the
bank is provided for.
Organized I'm March.
The bank was organized along in
March, 1905 1t opened its doors for
business on May of the same year.
The organizers of the bank were Peter
Crumpacker, George Elder. William D.
Weis. Charles H. Friedrich, C. c.
Smith and few others
The first officers Of the bank were
Charles C. Smith. now deceased, presi-
dent: William D. weis. vice president,
and George NJ. Elder, cashier The first
directors of the bank were H. M. Plas-
ter, Charles Frederick. John c. Becker
and Herman Schrieber. The first de-
posftor was William d. Weis.
Factor i'm Region.
The bank grew and became a great
factor in the financial affairs of the
city. 1t became United states depos-
itory little over three years ago. Then
came amalgamation of the First Ma
tional and the Commercial banks of the
city, and this was distinct advantage
TO the growing young institution. for it
was left the only competitor of the
First National bank in the local field.
The officers and directors are TAX
ing pardonable pride in the new bank
into which they will move tomorrow.

1t was from the plugs, was as good as

MINUTES COST THOUSANDS.
There were about twenty people In
the new brick building when the fire
broke out. Some of these were7 en-
ployes of the plant. while others were
carpenters who were finishing on the
construction of the plant. The fire
started in the west end, while all the
workmen were In the east end. The
company had nulPber of pressing or
ders and arrangements had been made
to put the first bolts through the first
processes.
MACHINERY rs DAMAGED.
Only ten minutes before big stock
of material had been moved near the
big tank, where they were to go
through the first processes. Had this
step been avoided several thousand
dollars would probably have been saw
ed. The biggest loss was incurred
through the damage of the plant, the
machinery, etc. The building itself
also suffered, the window frames and
sashes, the timber pillars having been
burend. When the fire spread into the
tank for the processes, no human pow
er could check it Immediately.
LOCATE HERE RECENTLY.
w. B. MeIlroy, the president of the
company, happened to be on the scene
of the fire from start to finish. He had
few comments to make about the dis
aster to his plant, but said that he
hoped that he could re-establish him
self in a short time. He gave the fire
departments credit for their good work,
and laid the blame for the whole on the
boiler explosion He said that the
boiler had been purchased from the
Hammond Boiler works. and while 1t
was second hand. 1t was nearly as good
as new.
The McIlroy Betting and Hose COM

Apparently some people are 60
ing to make financial gain out of
the comet. Such seems to be the
intent of the clergyman who urges
unmarried people to get married at
once, because, so he says, the
comets tail is going to sweep every
body off the face of the earth some
time in May. The strange thing
about it is that many people believe
him and are following his advice:
which goes to show that not only is
superstition not dead, but that some
people seem to be afraid to go alone
into the hearafter. Bnt the thought
occurs, has anyone a moral right,
especially when the motive is selfish.
to scare others out of their wits by
alarmist prophecies about harm

Experimenting With Trees.

f. J. Bird of this county, is ex-
perimenting with 1000 young catal-
pa trees which he is planting on his
farm in Forks where the timber was
recently removed. There are four
species of the catalpa. They are
natives of the West Indies, North
America, Japan and China. They
grow very rapidly. The wood is
remarkably light of greyish-white
color, and fine in texture. 1t is
capable of receiving brilliant polish
and when seasoned is very durable.
1t has been introduced into Europe
and is cultivated in Germany,
France and South England.

Cottage Given for TuberculOuS
Poor.

AS an expression of her interest
in the states work for the tuber-
culous poor, Mrs. r. f. Jones,
widow of the Pittsburg steel manu-
facturer, has offered Health Com
missioner Dixon her magnificent
cottage and grounds at Cresson. 1t
lies close by the tract of land given
the Commonwealth by Andrew
Carnegie for it's Western Sanator-
ium for tuberculosis.
The cottage which is said to have
originally cost about SIS, 900, is
large enough to accommodate at
least 20 tuberculous patients and
no time will be lost in getting it
ready for such occupancy. AS the
cottage is in good repair this will
not take long so that the benefits
of the high altitude and healthy
climate of Cresson will soon be en-
joyed by a number of poor suf-
ferers. In the meantime the San
atorium buildings on the Carnegie
tract will be rapidly pushed for
ward.
The lot on which the 1-2 story
Jones cottage stands is about 100
it. front and $50 ft. deep. There
are in all thirteen bedrooms in the
building, most of them large and
comfortable, with big bay-windows
into which the sun may pour its
healing rays. Wide porches almost
surround the cottage. Here the
patients may sit in their rest chairs
enjoying the pure mountain air and
having view of a surrounding
county whose scenic beauty is un-
surpassed.
Mrs. Jones gift to the Common
wealth, like that of Mr.. Carnegie,
is particularly gratifying in that it
shows the complete confidence that
exists in the States campaign
against tuberculosis.
