Then Crolius and Gavit had set

with having made the company's pri-

ITO be or not to be, that Is the ques-
tion."
This was the subject which the stock
holders of the Lake County Democrat
wrangled over last night to no avail in
the third stockholders meeting which
has been held in the past few days to
solve that very question The difficulty
arises, 1t seems, over the printing of
the democratic expose, some favoring
the suspension of their activities in
that line and others advocating more
vigorous campaign against what they
believe is more a wrong than ever be-
fore
Boiled down the fight being waged
in the various meetings is between the
adherents of Crolius. or the bolting
faction and those who still remain loyal
to the Becker-Knotts combination
which are made the subjects of the at
tacks. 1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that the political combine has
been attempting to get control OF the
stock of the paper but owing to the
fact that the Crolius men refuse to selL
and also because of the fact that one
man cannot hold more than ten shares
of stock

THE VILLAGE WAS
I|CKLED At NEWS
Story of Bank Starting
Across State Line Hail
ed With Glee.


The exclusive news in THE TIMES last
evening to the effect that plans are on
foot to establish a bank in West Ham
mond was received with much gratifi-
cation on the Illinois side of the state
line, and with well wishes for the In
stitution on the Indiana side.
1t will be some time before it will
be definitely announced as TO what the
capital stock will be and whether the
institution will be a state or a national
bank In sounding the sentiment OF
those who have already subscribed
there seemingly is a preference for a
national bank. The question as to the
capital stock is whether 1T shall be
$4,000 or $4,000.
The location of the new bank will in
all probability be on some prominent
place on West State street. but 1t viii
be for the stockholders to decide
whether they have their own building g
or whether a temporary home will be
rented for the beginning.

CHAST|sES
HIS HEIR

As Manager III. c. Green of the Ham
mond, Whiting & East Chicago line, At
.torney Fred Crumpacker and Attorney
Frank Gavit were on their way from
Indiana Harbor to Hammond in an au-
tomobile after attending a meeting of
the Commercial club at the Harbor,
they discovered Charles Miller severely
whipping his boy, also named Charles
Miller The affair occurred at Euclid
avenue and One Hundred and Thirty
seventh street.
They were SO impressed with the bru-
taIity of the act that they reported the
matter to Sergeant Mike German of
East Chicago. Sergeant Frank Barker
of Indiana Harbor was asked to make
an investigation of the case and later
detailed officer William Hughes.
Hughes found the boy in a shack at
one Hundred and Thirty-eighth and
IVY streets and questioned him. He
later met the father and questioned him
about the whipping he had given his
SON
It developed that the father had been
recently fined for not keeping the boy
in school and claimed that he was
whipping him because he had not at
tended school that day. The boys story
was that the teacher had given him a
| nickel to do an errand fr her in East
Chicago and that he had not done the
errand.

Hammond Man Wants to
Make Sibley Street a New
Business Street to State

{ Owners Will Help.

Jacob Rimbach will aid in a move
ment to make Sibley street a new bust
ness street after the opening of State
Line street. providing the rest of the
property owners on the street will do
their share.
1t has been suggested that in view
of the fact that the lots on Sibley
street are in the neighborhood of $50
feet deep 1T would be a very easy mat
ter to widen this street twenty or thir-
ty feet and make it one of the widest
and most convenient business thor

What He Proposes.
1t is proposed to widen it an equal
distance on both sides and let the dam

fact is pointed out that the location
OF Sibley street is ideal for buildings
of a semi public nature.

IN FAVOR OF
WIDE BRIDGE
Full Width Of Street to Fur
nish Room for Bridge on
Holman Street Over Cal
umet Must Be Built for
the Future.

Public sentiment in Hammond has
crystalized in favor of Holman street
bridge that will be built to the full
width of the street. The first plan
was to build a narrower one, but the
growth of the north side is expected
to be so much more rapid in the flu
ture than ithas in the past that the
fact has become apparent that only a
bridge the full width of the street
Will be sufficient for the present. not to
say the future, needs of the city
With the bridge built to the full
width of the street there will be room
enough for only double street car
track, roadway on either side and a
ten-1oot sidewalk. If this bridge be-
comes the Rush street bridge of Ham
mond. in five years. it will be none too
large.
