READY FOR
RAMPAGE

Unless the water in the Little Calu-
met river district gets a chance to flow
off gradually, it will precipitate one OF
the worst floods that has been known
in the rivers history. A gradual melt
ing of the snow and ice will alleviate
the condition materially The river is
not high now it has been in the
past. not even two years ago, but there
is more water in the region, and there
was more in the river to begin with.
There was considerable rainfall last au
tumn. Then the river and other waters
froze over, giving them little chance
to flow off. Since then an unusual
amount of snow has been added, and If
all of this should go away with rush
it would mean a great damage of prop
erty.
Near Gary the river is about a quar-
ter of a mile wide, but owing to the
Tolleston clubs dam, it narrows at
Black Oak, and it is not much wider
there then possibly a block. Toward
the Illinois state line it widens again
until it reaches considerable size.

SUITS FILED BY THE
MONON RAILROAD TODAY

The suits against the railroad COM
mission of Indiana were filed in the
Lake superior court at Hammond today.
One was by Attorneys E. C. Field and
HI. r. Kurrie of the Monon railroad.
and the other was by Attorneys Kret-
Finger. Rooney & Kretzinger of the
Grand Trunk western railroad.
The complaints in each case are sub
stantially the same and the action is
to enjoin the railroad commission from
enforcing its recent order providing
for the substitution of headlights Of
greater power on the engines of the
various railroad companies in Indi-
ana
The Monon railroad recites that it
would cost $4,000 to make the change,
and that the headlights of greater pow
er would prevent the engineers from
seeing the switch signals.
