PRINTING
CAUSES
A STIR

Because of an oversight on the part
of the printers, the Hammond Elks,
who are advertising their coming ba-
zaar on big Autographs which they
are distributing throughout the whole
region. find themselves in an embar-
rassing position.
The printing was done by the Ma
tional Printing and Engraving COM
pany of Chicago, strictly union shop.
but through an oversight on the part
of the printers the union label has been
omitted from the poster. AS a result
union men who have seen the lftho-
graphs. and not knowing the circum-
stances in connection, have taken ex-
ception, and in some cases 1t is re-
ported the bills have be,n torn from
their hangings
At the time Attorney Dan Moran
chairman of the advertising commit
tee, ordered the printing he gave in
struction to insert the label. Only a
week remains before the opening of
the bazaar and the time is too short
to have new ones printed. While the
! printers are taking the blame for the
| oversight the Elks are hoping that in
view of these circumstances, no blame
shall attach to them.

TREATMENT
PROVES TO BE:
SATISFACTORY

superintendent C. NJ Mcdaniel of
Hammond and his son will today take
their last treatment at the Pasteur In
stitute, in Chicago, for the prevention
of rabies.
While the period of incubation is
generally conceded to be about forty
two days, although it sometimes ex-
tends as long as three months from
the date of infection. the preventative
makes the patient immune in about
twelve to fourteen treatments.
Mr. Mcdaniel and his son have TAX
en- all but one of the necessary treat
ments and are now considered immune
from hte disease. In view of the fact
that immunity is made certain in about
80 per cent of the cases treated, Su-
perintendent Mcdaniel has no fear of
the disease.
The two children of Mrs. Ora Hart
man and Mrs. G. F. Phares are still
taking the treatment under the direc-
tion of DR.. j. A. Graham. AS they
began the course later than Mcdaniel
and his son, they will have to con-
tinue longer.

HER GOAL
4 CORPSE

A tragedy of emigration had its
climax in the little town of Munster in
Lake County this afternoon when Mrs
Pietze Weirsman was buried there, sne
had died on the trip which was to unite
her with her sons and daughters who
live near Munster and Lansing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weirsman, left their
native county Holland several weeks
ago in the hope of spending their de-
Ginning years with their children in
America Mrs. Weirsman was 55 years
old and apparently well when see en-
barked with her husband. While on
the ocean she was taken i'll with pneu-
monia and when the boat landed at
Hoboken. \. J. she was taken to hos
pital there. She died last Tuesday, and
the body arrived in Hammond yesterday
for burial at Munster this afternoon.
1t was a sad reunion for the father
and his children.

caused q great deal OF comment BY
both the business men of the city and
the managers OF the local offices.
Miss Ethel Meston the manager of

said: Il do not know what he COM
pany will do. Personally, 1 would well
come a night shift for the reason that
it would relieve me and make my
hours shorter It all depends upon
whether or not the company thinks the
business would warrant it,"
Manager Stewart of the Postal Tele-
graph office. in this city, says: I'VE
now deliver messages up to o'clock,
and it is possible to transmit messages
at all hours of the night, but the
complaint seems to be that it is i'm
possible to have a message delivered

The manager of the Postal said that
Hammond was certainly a large enough
city to feel justified in It's demand for
a night service The local business
men are advised to write letters to
the officials of the company presenting &

repudiated Speaker Joseph G. Cannon,
declared that he would never vote for
him for speaker of the house again,

never be re-elected to this seat.
Congressman Crumpacker delivered
himself of these utterances at a meet

whereby he opened up his campaign.
During the course of his remarks
Congressman Crumpacker declared that
he himself was in no sense a standpat-
ter. That he was a PROGRESSIVE RE
PUBLICAN and had no sympathy with
standpattism. He declared that far
as Cannon was concerned. that politi-
clan, who is now nearly 10 years of
age, had formed his political opinions
quarter of a century ago. While con-
, ditions had changed materially during
that period, Mr.. Cannon had been too
busy during the past twenty years
to change his views, and the result was

at the present time with conditions as

cross the Atlantic Early this morning
the balloon was taken out of the huge

removing the 22S-foot gas bag was

AS the balloon went into the air a
parting cheer was given by about l.
900 people whose faith in the Wellman
enterprise had stood out against the at
tacks of those who declared that he
never would take the America off the
ground. The flyers waved goodbye
and fioated away.
Dense fog without wind made the
conditions perfect and the balloon was
out of sight almost Immediately. The
last report of the America and It's
crew was made by volunteer crew OF
the yacht Olive, belonging to Colonel
Thomas Potter of Philadelphia, which
guided the balloon out of the inlet.
The trip was scheduled as a mere
trial, but the statement of Chief En-
gineer Melvin Vaniman that I'VE won't
come back until we have had a try a

men will not return unless an acciden
befalls the ship or the crew is forced
by adverse winds to come back.
