BURGLAR|ES
OCCUR IN
HAMMOND

Two burglaries were reported to the
police this morning, one from the
Hupfer grocery store on Holman street
and the other from the Wolter hard
ware store In the Humpfer store the
burglars secured entrance through a
rear window and procured about six
dollars from the cash register. At the
Wolter store, all that could be found
missing were two revolvers
No trace has as yet been found of
the fellows who did the work. 1t is
thought that the Humpfer job on Hoh-
man street was pulled off before ten
o'clock last night. The loss in the
Wolter hardware store might have been
larger had it not been for the fact that
the burglars were scared away
1t was about two o'clock last night
that officer Trinen tried the front door
to the store and found 1t locked Up
on going to the rear door he found it
open but nobody inside. He reported
the matter Immediately and watched
the place for the balance of the night.
After a hurried inventory had been
taken this morning it was found that
only two guns had been taken.
This is the second time that the
Wolter store had been entered in a
short term of years.

COLUMBIA
AVE. TO Be
IMPROVED

Columbia avenue is to be improved
and opened at last. The county COM
missioners have taken up the mat
ter and the announcement was made
yesterday that the bondsmen will ac-
cept the bonds on this improvement.
This means that the fill on either
side of the bridges will be made and
that the street will at last be opened
through to the river The street is to
be paved by the county from Gostlin
street, on the north, to the paved por-
ton of the street just south of the
Michigan Central tracks
This is a consummation that is de-
vout1y wished by the people of the
east side. 1t will bring to an end the
controversy that has ragged over the
matter of building the approaches.
The county commissioners contended
that Mayor Becker has promised to
build them or to get the Indiaan- Chi
cago Traction company to do so. and
Becker denied this.
Now the county will take hold of
the job. and it is believed that the
long-delayed opening will take place
about the 1st of June.

JUDGE IBACH
BACK TONIGHT

Judge Joseph Ibach. the voters
choice for the appellate bench for the
northern district of Indiana, is ex-
pected back from Indianapolis this
evening, he having left for the capi-
tai post-haste yesterday because of the
report that Stokes Jackson sent out to
the effect that the republicans were
trying to steal the state.
The election of Judge Ibach was
never doubted from the time he entered
the campaign Among the first TO send
him a telegram of congratulation was
Senator B. T. Shively of South Bend.
The election of Judge Ibach means
the election of a new member of the
school board, but this will very likely
not take place until January. The
term really does not expire until year
from next August.

WANT A BETTER
WATER SUPPLY
Pressure in Village Is So
Poor That People Believe
They Are in Danger.

The people of West Hammond are
looking forward to having a better
supply of water than they have in the
past. For some time the pressure over
there was so poor that the village was
in danger from fire
The city of Hammond has been sup
plying the water and protest was
made to the proper authorities After
the matter had been agitated for some
time steps were finally taken to rem
edy the trouble.
The city of Hammond is now laying
an eight-inch main over TO the state
line, and the village authorities held
a meeting last evening to make an ap-
preparation of $500 for a meter with
which to measure the water that Is
sold to the neighboring city.

CRUMPACKER
IS INDIANA
FACTOR NOW
Tenth District Congressman
May Decide to Run For
Governor; Is Only Official
Representative of State
Republicans at Capital.

The fact that Congressman Edgar
d. Crumpacker is the only republican
in the state of Indiana who will sit
in either branch of congress in WASH
ington, has made him an object of in
terest all over the west.
His remarkable victory over one of
the strongest candidates that the dem
ocrats could possibly have selected in
dicates the strength of his political
position in Indiana.
There has been widespread talk OF
his availability the next candidate
for the governorship OF Indiana. 1t is
believed that Crumpacker, better than
any other man, could unite the vari-
Gus factions of his party in this state.
1t is believed that the thorough
trouncing that has been administered
to the republican tickets of the past
two and a half years will serve to en-
phasize the necessity for harmony to
prevent another such defeat. Crum-
packer will be looked upon as the logi-
cal man to unite the party in Indi-
ana.

The victory of the republicans in
Lake county in spite of the fact that
the rest of the stae went democratic
is due to the fact that the republican
couny central committee, under the
chairmanship of F. Richard Schaaf, had
the best organization that Lake county
has ever known.
Something of an idea of what was
done may be had from the fact that
there were 1,100 people in the organ
sizatiun. There were 10, 90 letters sent
out during the campaign and 10000
pieces of mail matter were distribut-
ed
Headquarters were maintained in
Hammond and all of the other import
ant cities of the county. There was a
force Of twelve men employed by the
republican county central committee at
all times.
The point cannot be raised that the
republicans had the money to do these
things, while the democrats did not.
for the republican had less money this
year than ever before. The difference
was that the republicans knew how to
spend 1t.

MAYORS
FALL DOWN
Miller, Parks, Darrow, Dur

Clique Fail Miserably.

The democrats in Lake County who
have been opposed to Becker-Knotts
control of politics in Lake County are
now open in their denunciation of
the manner in which the last cam
paign was conducted. J. B. Peter
sons friends are highly indignant.
They point to the fact that the
democrats were victorious in every
district in the state excepting the
tenth and they lay the blame upon
the Hammond and Gary politicians
who have been posing as the bosses
of the party in this district.
CONTROLLED DISTRICT.
They point out that 1T was the
Becker s-Darrow-Durgan crowd
that controlled the district this year
and while every other congressional
district in the state elected democrats

estimated that he ascended to a
height of 5000 feet at one time in
the flight.
The daring of Curtiss during the
sky voyage received commentator
both from aviators and laymen
That the aeronaut risked success In
flying from steep terrace at Spuy-
ten Duyvil after he had alighted a
second time is generally believed
The aviator, to use his own words,
started as a bird would begin it's
flight" not taking the usual run
along the ground
Curtiss trusted TO his planes to
bear him up after leaving the high
er ground until he could get his
engine into action. In doing this he
jeopardized his chance of success,
but he saved considerable time, as
the ground from which he ascended
at Spuyten Duyvil was terraced
and uneven. and he would have
been compelled to trundle the ma
chine to level ground.

NEW YORK, May 30
The beginning of aeroplane
flights between Chicago and
New York with no more
stops than would be neces-
sary for an express train to
change engines, is consider
ed a probability here today.
Aviators, enthused by the
achievement of Glenn H..
Curtiss in flying 1877 miles
between Albany and New
York yesterday with only
two descents, are claiming
that with the establishment
of aerodromes and increased
knowledge of aerial condi-
tions, Curtiss' flight may be
surpassed for greater dis
tances, and eventually gil
gantic passenger carrying
airships will ply between
principal cities Of the Unit
ed States.
Curtiss today was the recipient
of many honors and congratula-
tions bestowed by his admirers
More substantial in reward was the
New York Worlds check for $l0.-
600, the prize Curtiss won by his
successful flight The aviator gave
the check to Mrs. Curtiss, who took
it with a smile and said she would
make good use of it."
Among the records that Curtiss
fractured was the worlds average
hourly speed record for long dis
tance flights. Curtiss maintained
average speed of "a 4-b miles an
hour throughout the journey. lie
