EAST CHICAGO FANS TO
HOLD MASS MEETING

A communication from the South
Shore line was read wherein IL was
stated that so soon as the tickets could
be printed a special rate of fare would
be granted by the company TO school
children on school days. To the trans
portation committee, of which c. E.
Fowler is chairman. belongs the credit
for this concessio ion on the part of the
company as well as the improved serv-
ice that has characterized the Indiana
Harbor branch of the lines OF late. The
committee has worked hard and the
club members express themselves as
more than satisfied with the results that
have been accomplished. The question
of providing a plate rail for the club
rooms was referred to the house COM
mittee If the plate rail Is installed
plate and stein shower will be held to
which a number of out-of-towners will
contribute, as several have spoken Of
the need OF a plate rail and have prom
Used If one was ms tailed to donate
plates and stems for Its ornamentation.
The Junk Brewing company has offered
cigar case for the dining room and
this will be installed today. 1t was
agreed to get more dishes, to be used
in connection with the restaurant fea-
ture of the club.
A vote of thanks was extended C. A.
Westberg and W. j. Riley for the gift
of the handsome map recently presented
to the club by them, c. z. Fowler maxi
ing the motion. Mr.. Fowler thought
that the map was hung altogether too
unostentatiously and declared that II
was not yet too late for a presentation
speech. Mr.. Riley, however, declared
that as Mr.. Westberg represented the
speech making end of the combination
and was absent, this feature must be
deferred until he appeared.
Two new members were voted upon,
the names being Laverne B. Mapcr and
W. r Diamond.

PLAN To DRAIN CALUMET

the present time it is taking only 1000
feet. With the Calumet and Evanston
channels in operation the boards plans
did not contemplate exceeding the max
imum limit
Board and Department at Outs.
For some time the drainage district
has not been on the best of terms with
the war department as a result of the
boards action in starting a suit to test
the authority of the government to pre-
vent the establishment of an auxiliary
channel in the Calumet river. This is
supposed to have had much to do with
the refusal of the war department to
acceed to the renewed request for the
approval of the drainage boards plan.
Mr.. Dickinson could not be reached in
Washington last night. but it was said
upon inquiry at the war department
that the details of the ruling would
be given out today.
The sanitary district, in case the de-
cision had been favorable. planned to
begin Immediately obtaining the right
of way. The cost of the undertaking.
which long has been contemplated and
regarded as almost necessity to give
pure drinking water to residents of the
southern parts of the city, was placed at

The people OF Hammond. East Chi
cago and Indiana Harbor will be sorry
to hear that the plans to build the CAL
umet auxiliary to the drainage canal
have received another setback by the
refusal of Secretary of War Dickinson
of Washington to reverce the flow of
the Calumet river. His decision struck
a hard blow at the plans of the board.

OF the river to drain the southern part
Of the city.
News of Mr.. Dickinson's decision was
received in Chicago yesterday after
noon. but doubted by. members of the
board It was confirmed. however. later
in the evening In a dispatch from the
national capitol
Two means, however, are left for ac~
ton by the sanitary district district to
secure a change in the current: One is
by a suit now In the federal courts and
the other Is by bringing the matter to
the attention of congress to secure
special permission.
1t was believed in Chicago there
would be no great trouble in securing
the permit. as a flow of only 1000 cubic

Indiana Representative One
of Guests at Event in
Honor Of Speaker.

Washington, March 3.-Representa-
tive Crumpacker of Indiana is one of
a select company invited by President
Taft to attend the dinner at the White
House this evening in honor of Speak
err Cannon The invitation to Judge
Crumpacker Is creating comment, in
view of the fact that the Indiana rep
resentative Is regarded as a near-in-
surgent. whose retirement from the
ways and means committee followed a
disagreement with Speaker Cannon
over various schedules of the tariff bill
The impression prevails about the
congressional coalkrooms that in Civ
ing this dinner the president has taken
a step toward trying to bring about a
better feeling toward Speaker Cannon.
Representative Crumpacler last night
was a guest at dinner given by Rep
resentatiye Hamilton Fish of New
York. who recently declared war on the
house rules. On March 10 he will at

Doubtless you have read THE Little
Minister" and perhaps also "Senti-
mental Tommy" by ]. NJ. Barrie, the
noted writer of Scotch stories.
II so, you must know Barrie has q
great and tender heart.
Poor BARREL
His life's happiness was cruelty
blighted. He married wife whom he
loved with all bis great nature. She
probably did not love him. At least
she was untrue to him. She was not
only guilty, but boosted of it.
A friend" whom Barrie had helped
up in the world was the betrayer.
What would you have done?
You would have doubtless given the
woman scorn for scorn and secured a
divorce, or, If you are a violent man.
you might have killed her and her be-
trayer and been exonerated by a jury
on the plea of 1.-THE unwritten law"
What did Barrie do?
He forgave the woman and tried to
save her.

cusers. Let him that is without sin
cast the first stone" And he wrote in
the sand while the men skunk away
and, rising. said, Neither do l con-
denim thee: go and sin no more"
Barrie said, STAY AND SIN NO
/ MORE"
| Nevertheless, despite the Christlike
action of this great man, springing as
/ 1t did from a sore and bruised heart,
the world vents its contempt and calls
him weak" and a Coward"
No!
! He had solemnly promised to '1ove
and cherish" his wife until death part

what she had once been to him. And
Instead of showing his weakness he
showed a tremendous strength of char

wife and tried to help her to retrieve
herself.
Is it not so?

that the South Shore line had bought
