FILTHY SHOW At
The OPERA HOUSE
Burlesque Show Hits the
Low Water Mark for
Indecency.

All ideas of decency and restraint
were thrown to the four winds by the
Moulin Rouge girls at Towle's opera
house last Saturday night, and a house.
full of men and boys were compelled to
sit and listen to dialogue so vulgar that
1t would bring the blush of shame to
the face of even the most hardened bar
room story teller.
Any one who had used such language
on the street would have been arrested
Tor indecency. and yet there was posi-
lively nothing in the way Of police CEN
sorship on this show
1t Was an Orgy.
II was not show; 1t was an orgy.
for full two hours the audience was
STEPPED in conversational filth until men
looked around at each other, ashamed
OF the fact that they were present.
The girls themselves were merely ex-
ampies of the depth of degradation that
Is reached by females who will permit
themselves to be the objects of such
conversation.
Issie n Libidinist.
Issie, an alleged comedian, was so
disgustingly coarse that his only an
peal was to the morbid minds of moral
perverts- His highest art consisted of
few monkey shines that might be ex
pected of a drunken sailor and a sickly
grin that he thought was funny.
Boys Is years of age left the theater
with their minds poisoned by a putrid
conversation that they would not be
likely to hear any other place. and their
boyish imaginations fired by sights that
We're bad enough for of mature
years.
Dozens of men who saw the show
last Saturday night were free to admit
that they would never go to another
burlesque show in Hammond. and there
were scores of them who would have
left the theater If they could have done
SO without attracting attention.
That the police did not interfere was
said to be due to the fact that anything
goes in Hammond. in the way of bur-
lesque show.

Nearly Eighteen Thousand
Students Have Thus Far
Been Matriculated in the
Lincoln-Jeffer Univer-

Practically eighteen thousand stu
dents have thus far matriculated for
the extension course in connection with
the Lincoln-J Jefferson university of this
city, and more are coming in daily. The
law course beig this oldest naturally
has the larger number of students, but
the collegiate course and the extension
department dealing with business. com
merce and finance are rapidly adding
large numbers to the school which.
while still an infant in years, is al
ready forging to the front as a nation
al university.
It would be surprising to see the
stacks of letters of appreciation that
come to DR.. w. Mayes Martin presi-
dent of the university. The letters
come from all over the United States
and are from students who express
their delight and pleasure in the work
1t is the boast of the Lincoln-Je fferson
university that it is the only unfver-
sity in the United States tha has such
a sysem of text books and educations
as it has, and the work that the school
is doing is beginning to show results.
Student Takes Highest Honors.
One student in Marietta, Ohio, who
attended no other law school, but is
graduate or Lincoln Jefferson College
of Law, has taken the highest honors
at recent state bar examination in
Ohio. Ohio is classed among one of the
stiff states in the union for a bar
examination, and naturally this stu
dents work rebounds to the credit of
his alma mater Another student who
took the state bar examination in
Montana wrote to DR.. Martin saying
that the schools examinations were
harder than the state examination
which ought to be considered good evil
thorough work.
Edison ]. Hockenbury of Lebanon,
Pa, was the first graduate of the
school. He is the secretary of a Y. NJ
O. A. organization there and through
his influence the law department in
that institution has been made one of
the leading features
Resident School working spIendidly.
In the resident school of the law
department the work is progressing
exceedingly well. The attendance is
that the university Is being appreciated
in Hammond and the Calumet region.
The founders and faculty of the school
are now looking forward to their new
home, site for which has been pur-
chased on South Holman street, just
south of the Presbyterian church.
Plans for the building will soon be or
dered, it being the purpose of the
founders of the school to build this
year.

General Passenger Agent of
Lake Shore Railroad Says
That Loop Suburban Serv-
ice Is Not to Be Aband-

1t has been widely rumored in Ham
mond that the Lake Shore railroad
would abandon its suburban service in
the near future, on account of the diff
f1culty that this road has had with its
track elevation at Grand rCossing.
THE TIMES got into communication
with the Chicago office of the railroad
and asked the general western passen-
ger agent If it is true that the loop
suburban service is to be abandoned.
Enters Strong Denial.
He denied that this even contempIat-
ed. He stated that the work of track
elevation has now progressed to point
where the east-bound trains are using
the elevation over the crossing, and he
said that it would only be a matter of
few weeks when the west-bound
trains would also be running over the
elevation.
From now on 1t is expected that the
Lake Shore service will improve. and
when the work of elevation at Grand
Crossing is finally completed the run
ming tmie on both the main line will
be much faster
Complain of Service.
At the present time, however. the
service of the Lake Shore railroad is
about as bad it could possibly be.
Trains which are SUPPOSED to take an
hour in running to Chicago are from
one to three hours late. Those who
live in Hammond and work in Chica-
go find that they reach their Offices
at o'clock and $50 instead of at s
o'clock, when they are expected to ar
rive.
Takes Three Hours.
Those who are compelled to rely on
the loop service to make the trip from
Indiana Harbor, Gibson and Standard
to Hammond, say that they are delayed
all of the way from one to three hours
in reaching their homes after their
days work is done.
In fact, the ptarons of the Lake Shore
railroad are in anything but pleasant
frame of mind. At the recent meeting
of the Hammond Business Mems asso
citation, w. B. Conkey called attention
to the fact that it is impossible to tell
how long one will have to wait for a
train until 1t reaches Osborn The trains
are not reported from Indiana Har-
bor.

after this before there would not
have been SO many young toughs

what some men say about THE

out it. The moment 1t enters the
house we all grab for it from the
oldest to the youngest, we take
several other daily papers, but it's
always THE TIMES first. Another
thing that is n damage to boys IL
these burlesque shows that are al
lowed TO enter our city. My son
is 10 years old. My son says he new
er enters the poolroOms, and the
Lord only knows whether he does
or not, but he is crazy over shows.
especially where degraded women
get on the stage and dance. That
and only that has ruined many a
boy. But how can yOu blame the
boys when they see some of the
vOuld-be respectable men mt such
places. If some of these men that
are trying to keep the boys out
of the pooIrooms would keep their
SONS away from these burlesque
shows and stay at home with their
wives themselves the nights these
shows are I'm town we would have
betetr men I'm the near future. L
hope the time will come when the
people of Hammond Will allow NO
such shows to enter town.

Republican Rally at Patagonia.

Monday evening of present week there was held at Patagonia grand rally in behalf of the repub- lican constitutional convention ticket which was attended by the entire countryside, the turn out being one of the largest ever known in that part of the county.
 The chief speaker was Mir. J s. Williams, district attorney of Co., chise county, who made a plain presentation of the real issues now before the people of Arizona that attracted the close attention of the large audience and elicited great deal of applause and commenda- ton. He devoted attention to the unfairness of the last democratic legislature, and predicted that if the democrats control the con stitutional convention they will inject into the fundamental law unfair provisions intended and calculated to compass their par tisan ends He called attention to the insincerity of the democracy throughout the territory, particu- larly in Cochise and Pima coun- ties. in spreading in their platforms effusive professions of liberal and progressive principles and nomin- atiug as candidates for delegates to the constitutional convention E E. Ellinwood and Eugene $. Ives, two reactionary corporation law yers who, if elected cannot serve the people without smiting the hands which have fed them, an l ingratitude of which they have never been accused and are not likely to perpetrate at this late day. Mir. Williams was heard with rapt attention, and several times when he attempted to draw his speech to a close was urged by his audience to continue.
 Mir. Bracey Curtis, the nominee for the delegate to the constitution al convention addressed the au' dience in a short and effective speech in which he pledged himself anew to the progressive principles framed in the republican platform and promised that if elected he will take his seat in the constitu' tional convention to represent the entire people of Santa Cruz county devoting his best energies to thf work, and to the best interests O the new state of Arizona.
 After the speaking had finished there was given very enjoyable dance which was appreciated by many participants.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC OF MEXICO.
General Manager Ingram al GusdaIs- jsrs Interviewed by the Times.

General Manager R. H. Ingram of the Southern Pacific of Mexico, who had been at the federal capital on business, was at Guadalajars recently, where he was interviewed by the Times of that city, as fol- lows:
 We were forced to temporarily suspend our train service on the section of road between Acaponeta and the Santiago river in the Ter ritory of Topic on the first of Au- gust, on account of the exceedingly heavy rains, which made it i'm possible to keep up the new track in safe condition, but we shall renew the service in a few week, :" said General Manager R. H h. gram of the Southern Pacific Rail- road of Mexico, who passed through Guadalajara yesterday on a tour of inspection of the GuadalaiAra- Magdalena division of that rail- way.
 Work is progressing favorably on the construction of the main line to Guadalajara on this side of the big river, and there are fifteen kilometers of track already laid for the work train service toward the City of Topic" continued MT. Ingram. Heavy rock work is unavoidably making the progress of the road slow, but the construc- ton department says that the front trains should reach Topic before the end of the year. Our railroad is in first rate condition north OI Acaponeta and we are running through Pullmans daily between Mazatlan and Los Angeles, Cali fornia. After the close of the pres ent rainy season we look for a heavy travel, both of Americans looking for the good things of West Mexico and of the well,to-do Mex jeans of the coast country tetween the new stations we have opened.
 Mir. Ingram was unable to say when the contracts for the difficult mountain section of the Southern Pacific between Magdalena and Te- pic would be given out. He state: that the construction department had not informed him if decision had been reached or not. 1t Is un' derstood from another source, how ever, that President Epes Randolph intends to award the contracts anC order the barranca work begun a' soon as certain right of way matters are concluded. Nearly $70,000 wal paid by the Southern Pacific tC land owners between Orendain anC Magdalena, and the company feel' that it has been "held up" by thu hacendados along it's line. Untl satisfactory arrangements can b' arrived at with the big rancher west of Magdalena, it is probabl that President Randolph will holt off the building of the road. If | takes several years to make thos arrangements the people will b deprived of the road just that long according to statements from Tue son few days ago.

Never has 1t been seen in greater
and more charming variety.
Narrow. fiat bows OF point d'esprit,
either black or white. are now "the

Most of the bows. of various mate

There is an apparent liking among
well dressed women for the plated
silk bow. edged with Persian.
For morning, there are airy little
frills and jabots of black net and

Among the fancy It'd bits are little
clusters of silk roses, with plaip
corded silk for stems.
The Irish and cluny bows are az
popular as ever. particularly when
these laces are used as edging or trim
