The Hammond Motor Boat club and
John Lowden in particular are taking.
great pride in the fact today that one
of their number. Mr. Lowden, has had
the honor of taking the first private
craft through the new indiana Harbor
and East Chicago canal.
Mr. Lowden made the trip in his mo-
tor boat, the Gee Whiz." which he
purchased some time ago from Grant

Gordan. They were not quite a. lie to
cover the entire distance to the lake,
but they got as far as Indiana Harbor.
1t was rather cold trip, but Mr..
Lowden and his partner, Mr.. Golden,
thought the honor we'll worth the hard
ships of navigation.
The canal route promises to be a
popular one with local motor boat en-
thusiasts next summer for short trip
from Hammond to the lake. The nevi-
gators will then be enable dto enter
the lake and follow the shore line to
South Chicago. where they will again
enter the Grand Calumet river and

RAISES DELICACY
J. Gero Sells Fine Sample of
Edible Fungus.

J. Gero of Hammond raises mush-
rooms in the old buildings of the G. H
Hammond company for his own use
He has ben very successful so far in
cultivating this delicacy and his crop
has ben so large that he has sold box
es of mushrooms to his friends.
Mr.. Gero was asked If he expected
to take up the cultivation of mush-
rooms extensively. and he said that he
was only growing them as a side line.
He says that 1T is so expensive to raise
them that he doubts that there would
be any money in it.

BANKER

w. G. Belman of First Ma

Business Man Should Use
Caution in Dealing With
Presentors of Paper.

There have been no more forged
checks received at the Lake County
savings & Trust company since yester-
day, when number came in from Toll

ent that the forgers were clever enough
to make their get away after they
had passed the four checks that were
later found to be foreeries.

bank of Hammond said this morning:
Merchants about the city and in the
county should be more careful about
accepting checks from people with
whom they are not acquainted.
Il think I am safe in saying that
there is not a merchant in Hammond
who has not been victimized at one
time or another by these crooks. These
people buy a suit of clothes, a ton of
coal, and even groceries, they tender a
check in payment and then the mer-
chant finds that the check is no good
The checks are rarely made out for
more than SIS or $50, and the tempta-
tion to sell the goods is so great that it
overcomes the natural caution of the
proprietor of the store"
Must BE More Cautious.
Mr.. Belman is of the opinion that a
greater degree of caution on the part
of the merchant would make 1t impos-
sible for one of these fellows to oper-
ate very extensively. The danger of
being caught would be too great
However. in view of the fact that the
First National bank does approximately
$5,00o,000 of paper business in month
and there is not more than an average
of three or four bad checks month
received. and these for small amounts,
1T shows that the checking privilege is
not abused to any great extent
There is more of Uncle Sans money
counterfeited than there are bad checks
written.

FOR BIG REALTY
BUSINESS GOOD

The real estate market in Hammond
has been comparatively active during
the week The sale of lots that have
been reported by THE TIMES from time
to time show that there is an abnormal
amount of actual business being done
for this time fthe year
The prospects are that there will be
another great building BOOM While
the price of lumber and building mate
rials is high and the cost of labor in
the building trades is also prohibitive,
1T is not believed that the cost of
building will be reduced in the near flu
ture
Consequently the plan of those who

CLEARED
OF CHARGES

Louis Troy, street car conductor on
the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago
line, was discharged in the city court
this morning, where he was charged
with assault and battery. The prose-
cutting witnesses were John Kwozwas-
korski and Alex. Korpen, two West
Hammond men, who charged that the
conductor put them OF the car recent
ly by using force. They had no EVIL
dence to identify Troy and 1t was also
lacking in other material points.

In the meantime there seems to be
some diversity of opinion among the
lawyers as to just what methods of
procedure will be necessary to effect
the separation, If the latter goes
through. Some declare that Legislative
action is necessary. while other assert
that the city council has the authority
to separate the two towns, provided the
people express their appribation by a
referendum vote.

Reasons Given.

The town Of Miller will fight an
nexation.
It has employed the law firm Of
Crumpacker & Crumpacker to fight
the case and it will go the limit in
an effort to avoid being gobbled up
by Gary.
1t is said that nearly three-fourths
of the people of Miller are opposed
to annexation. They declare that
Miller is four miles away from the
heart of Gary and they are decidedly
opposed to benevolent assimilation"

the powers that be in Gary and the
representatives of the Anti-Saloon

Gary, this morning.
Those who took part in the con-
ference are Colonel A. c. Mayo, T.

ing was secret conference and

The strike is not settled yet, accord
ing to the meager information that
comes from the Standard Steel Car
district this afternoon. 1t is under

and Superintendent Douglas have been
in conference all morning.
1t is reported that Superintendent
Douglas Will grant the men straight
daily wage of $3.50 and that they are
holding out for s3 1t is said that they
also have the alternative of working

There is a great deal of secrecy be-
ing maintained by both sides. The
idea seems to be that the terms of the
agreement shoula not become public un-
til they are ratified by the men.
Mayor Lawrence Becker has been
active in the negotiations for a set
tlement between the men and their en-
ployers. There was little trouble at
the plant today and the situation seems
to be well in hand.

that he has nothing to do with the
conference. Sixty more subpoenas were
issued from the Lake circuit court yes-
terday and it is understood that they
are made returnab1e Monday.
This makes it apparent that the ac-
ton of the blind pig operators in go-
Ing into Mayor Enotts' court and plead
ing guilty, is not having any effect on
the action of the grand jury. Prose-
cutting Attorney Greenwald says that
