DOG DAYS

phoned Gus Laatsch. the Oakley ave-

partment. Mine. too" chimed in Bert

Ii is all due to the effective crusade
that the police have Inaugural ted

peopie are trembling for fear that the
eagle eye of the policeman will detect

II means trouble. Once the warrant Is
sworn out the case will not be dis

hurry TO the city hall and procure a
license. This was demonstrated yester-
day morning.
There are in the neighborhood of a
thousand dogs in Hammond. Two
thirds of these have no city license In
some quarters there has been com
plant against the police department
because of the crusade. The complaint
in every case comes from people who
have failed to procure the necessary Ii

are entitled to a square deal and that

FITZGERALD SAYS It IS
GREAT THING FOR SHIPPERS

In speaking OF the action that the
federal government has taken to pre-
vent the western railroads from rails
ing the freight rates, John E. Fitz-
gerald stated yesterday that tt was a
great victory for the shippers.
Fitzgerald made the statement that
there is more steam coal consumed in
the Calumet region in Indiana at the
present time than there is in Chicago.
He stated that this brings the Calu-
met region into great prominence in the
night to prevent the proposed increase
in coal rates. Mr.. Fitzgerald is of the
opinion that the shippers will event
ually be successfully in their efforts to
prevent the increase in rates.
The following from Terre Haute on
the coal situation is approved by Fitz-
gerald. who says that it explains the
coal situation perfectly:
Indiana coal operators do not fathom
the purposes of the railroad compa MES
in advancing freight rates on Indiana
coal for manufacturers in Indiana some
weeks ago when the coal carrying roads
OF Illinois and Indiana announced an ad :
vance of to IA cents a ton in the rate
~ C"iSdso from the mines or the two
states, railroad officials said there would
be no advance to Indiana points The
consumers in Chicago have effected a
suspension of the rate temporarily
while the Illinois railroad commission
makes an investigation. The consumers
are making the point that it is an unfair
demand from the standpoint of pur-
chas, but the operators say it is unfair
from the standpoint of competitors of
Ohio and West Virginia operators. on
whose coal no advance in rates is made
Likewise there is no advance as under

the Calumet river near Gary east of
the city, in order TO afford the Indiana
Steel company more room for their new
coke ovens, is progressing rapidly BY
changing the course of the river for
over 1000 feet, the company has been
able to add a large number of acres to
the ground in the immediate vicinity of
the ovens.
The dredging and digging is being
done by Stein & Lamb, and the scene of
operations resembles miniature Pan

digger is now working will be a six
foot egg shaped concrete sewer which
is also under course of construction
and which it is estimated will be com

work has been done under great diff

water encountered and the fact that
the sewer was laid a a depth of about
twenty feet below the original surface.
The sewer is being built to drain the
water away from the coke ovens and is
about 500 feet in legnth.
