ENGINEERS DISCUSS
SLUSH ICE TONIGHT
Record Shows Hammond
Has Less Troubles
Than Other Cities.
SESSION HELD At MILWAUKEE,
Jacob Kasper, superintendent of
Local Plant to Explain His
Success.
SESSION HELD At MILWAUKEE,

Hammond with all its slush ice trou-
bles last winter was not in such Sc
we're straights as other cities along
the lake. and Jacob Kasper, superin-
tendent of the local pumping station
will very likely be called upon in Mil
waukee, Wis, to explain his method.
A meeting OF engineers and pump
station superintendents is TO be held in
Milwaukee this evening and the elm
ination of the slush ice nuisance will
be one of the principal topics for dis
cussion. From a statistical report it
appears that Hammond's troubles were
less than those of any other city, in
cluding Michigan City, whose intake is
forty feet below the surface of the
water. The trouble was ust as bad in
the Chicago cribs as in the intakes for
the smaller cities. How Hammond
solved the problem than any of the 9TH
er cities will be explained by Mr.. Kas-
per.
The various discussions by the vari-
Gus engineers and superintendents in
giving their views and experiences
ought to prove very profitable and may
lead to a solution of the problem.

RESOLUTIONS
Charles j.. GreenWald Nonli-
mated fer Prosecuting
Attorney.

Frank N. Gavit Of Whiting was
nominated for joint senator of the
Thirty First Judicial District and
Charles Greenwald was nominated for
the Office of prosecuting attorney of
the same district by unanimous vote
at the convention held in Hammond
at one-thirty this afternoon
Resolutions endorsing President
William H. Taft, Senator Albert J.
Beveridge, Congressman Edgar d.
Crumpacker and Prosecuting Attor-
ney Charles Greenwald were approved
by delegates of the convention.
THE ONE GREAT ISSUE.
1t was the sense of the convention
that the election of Senator Beveridge
is the great Issue of the coming cam
paign, and after his nomination Frank
Gavit stated that it is not much
his personal ambition as his desire to
/ see Senator Beveridge returned to the
senate that prompted him to make the
campaign for the Office.
It required exactly forty five minutes
from the time Attorney G.. B TinlSham
of Hammond was made chairman OF the
| meeting to transact the business that
came before the convention. This fact
indicates the perfect harmony that pre-
vailed during the convention There

state food and drug commissioner, who
left last night for Milwaukee to attend
the regular semi-annual meeting of the

water supply men in this city in Janu-

tale of woe to unfold concerning the
impurity of the water supply from the
lake. and the great difficulty they were
experiencing in providing for proper
sewage disposal. At that time they said
! that the only solution they could see for
/ the neighboring cities, in order that
some feasible plan might be put
through for insuring pure water and a
proper disposal of wastes. l under
stand the coalition has taken place, and
the question of what shall now be done
to relieve the communities is one which
we will have placed before US in Mil

WHITING
VISITED BY
BURGLARS

Whiting, Ind, April "A rosary, a
mite box and diamond stickpin was
all that burglars secured last night
when they entered three houses on Oil
yer street. In the house of Peter Pfeif-
fer they found rosary and took this,
and made no attempt to get consid-
cradle money which was in the at the
time. In the home of H. G. Muffet, two
doors away, they took mite box. They
were evidently scared away here by
some noise. Next door, in the William
Curtis residence, they found a dia-
mond pin and this they took with them.
In the three instances they had gained
possession through a kitchen window.
No arrests have as yet been made.

COUNTY
JAIL FULL
OF bOAROERS

Crown Point, Ind, April 2.-If the
growth of the population of Lake Coun-
ty is making rapid strides the growth
of the population of the county jail is
keeping pace with it. The records were
all broken yesterday when it was dis
covered that Sherii Thomas Grant has
II unwilling boarders under his care.
This is a larger number of prisoners
than have ever been held in the county
jail at any one time. Most of the evil
doers come from the northern part of
the county.
This it not due to any particular
climatic conditions in that part of the
county but rather to the fact that the
population is correspondingsly large.
