DEMOCRATS
At SEA OVER

Will Not Be a Candidate

Been Mentioned so Far
for the Honor.

An1earnest effort to learn from men
Il s position so Haoa as En v nu wfaf

ty craftsmanship, discloses the rather
discouraging fact to democrats at least
that democratic politics is stagnant.
Prominent democrats say they have
no idea where the next DEP ocratic
county chairman will come Pom to
succeed Ed. Simon. The situation,
however. is not unusual. Being in the
minority in the county. there is little
to fight for, excepting glory and that
is expensive. There is no good rea-
son why man, having a good busi-
ness, should burden himself with a
thankless job when there is no re-
muneration in sight
No Candidates I'm Field.
It Is hard to get even a suggestion
from a democrat as to who the pros
pective chairman will be. The name
of John L Rohde has been mentioned,
but 1t is understood that he will not
consider the honor. Mr.. Rohde would
be acceptable to both Lawrence Beck
er and Thomas Knots, the recognized
leaders in the northern part of the
county, but because of this there is a
question whether he would be accepta-
bic to- the balance of the county. 1t
has been suggested that the mention
of Judge Mcmahon of Hammond would
not be unreasonable. because the judge
is in good standing with the follow
ers of Becker and the balance of the
county. But when the judge stepped
down from the city court bench he said
that he would lay aside politics alto
gether and there is no good reason to
believe that he has changed his mind

man, will not consider the nomination

MRS. FUZZY
SUES FOR
DIVORCE

Katie Fuzzy has brought an action for
divorce against her husband, Andrew
Fuzzy, the well-known coal dealer Of
East Chicago, in which she alleges he
is a habitual drunkard, has threatened
her life, and has struck and cursed at
the plaintiff.
The case was filed in the Lake SUI
perior court by Attorneys Roe and
Meade of East Chicago. The couple
were married in Hungary in September.
1884. and were separated Feb. 81. 1910,
when 1t is alleged that Fuzzy drove his
wife out of the house and she was COM
PEELED to take refuge at the home of
neighbors.
The couple have five children, whose
ages are as follows: William, aged %;
Susie, aged 22: Annie, aged 10. One of
the peculiar features about the case is
that a limited divorce is asked. The
plaintiff asks for So week for the
support of the children.

After being out eighteen hours the

MEYER WILL
Make ONE
MORE TRIAL

Attorney F. J. Lewis Meyer was in
Hammond today and stated he would
probably go before the city council
again in a few weeks and ask for the
Indiana avenue franchise.
There is great deal of sentiment
among the Hammond business men in
favor of granting the franchise to the
South Shore route, and they are of the
opinion that the city officials and the
interurban attorney should not let any
personal differences come between them
and the granting of the franchise.
The granting of this franchise prac-
tically means another interurban line
for the business district of Hammond
and would go long way towards de-
veloping the territory between the riv-
er and the Michigan Central railroad
tracks.
Attorney Meyer stated unequivocally
that he would make one more attempt
to get the franchise that his company
desires, and that the matter will soon
have to be settled for all time.
Mr.. Meyer took very hopeful view
of the situation, however. and said thai
he understood that the members OF the
council were now ready to vote the
proposition through.

ASSAULT
CASES ARE
POSTPONED

The cases against Michael Dugan and
John Cosgrove, employees of the North
ern Indiana Gas and Electric Light Co.,
charged with assault and battery upon
A. j. Smith, an employe of the Chi
cago Telephone company, was con-
tinued In the city court this morning,
to be heard next Monday morning. Jo-
seph Connoy, counsel for the defense,
asked for the continuance on the
ground of lack of preparation, having
been tied up in a superior court case.
Attorney John F. Sawyer has been re-
tanned by the Chicago Telephone Co.'s
union linemen to represent them.
The assault and battery cases have
grown out Of a fight which occurred
last Saturday between a number of
linemen of the light company on one
side and linemen for the telephone
company on the other. A difference
over union principles brought on the
clash.

H0LDUP
TENDENCY
NOT FAVORED

Owing to the fact that the property
owners on State Line street seem to
want three or four times as much as
their property is worth. the board of
public works of Hammond and the
officials of the village of West Ham
moud have decided to appraise the
value Of the property and then con-
denim it If there is a further ten
dency to work the holdup game and
prevent the opening of the street
The people of Hammond and the peo-
pie of West Hammond are determined
to open up State Line street and they
do not propose to have the proposition
blocked by the selfishness of few
property owners who are SO lacking in
public spirit that they do not hesi-
tate to ask holdup price for their
proeprty.
The property owners have until
March 81 to demonstrate and after
that time steps will be take nto con-
denim the property.

COMPANY
WILL PUT
UP ARCH

The Gary & Interurban Electric Rail-
way company will erect an electric
arch over Sibley street, opposite Henry
Bfcknelfs ice cream parlors, which Is
now used as the ticket office of the
company. This arch will add greatly
to the appearance of Sibley street.
The company is today putting up the
poles for the trolley guy wires, and 1t
is said that it expects to cross the
railroad tracks and run the line all of
of the way downtown in about two
weeks.
1t is not known whether or not
the company have received permission
to put in the crossings. The railroads
generally fight street car crossings and
there may possibly be delays on this
account
The business men of the city will.
however, welcome the building of the
line to the business center of the city.

FRIEDMAN
ARRANGES
SENSATIONS

Jacob Friedman, the city sealer, is
carrying on an investigation at pres
ent, the nature of which he is not quite
ready to reveal. but which may result
in a number of arrests next week.
In regard to the short measures OF
milk with which some of the Lake
count yfarmers have supplied the local
dealers. nothing more has been done
outside of establishing the fact While
the city shealer. deputy for the state
pure food inspector, has Jurisdiction

no fund is provided by which the ex-

would be betrayed. Mr.. Friedman will.
however. take the matter up with the
board of public works in the near fu-
ture to see what arrangements can be
made alone this line.

So many people are making the
financial arrangements to build this
spring that it is apparent that Ham
mond is about to experience the great
est building activity in its history.
Between ten and fifteen people call
at the Lake County Savings & Trust
company every day seeking loans for
the purpose OF building. Many of them
are accommodated, but in other cases
the borrower make loans amounting to
fye-sfxths orr seven -eighths of * the
value of the property, and, of course,
these loans are denied
The earning cI1pzcity Of the perxeE'
desiring to make the loan is taken into
consideration, however, and some per-
sons are able to borrow more than 9TH
ers with the same security. The habits
and character of the borrower is also
taken into consideration
Must Have More Money.
The fact remains, however, that there
is not going to be nearly enough mon
ey in Hammond to take care of all of
the people who desire to build this
year. To meet this problem the Lake
County Savings and Trust company is
now negotiating for a large sum OF
money for the purpose of making these
loans.
The building and loan associations
are doing great deal towards sup
plying the necessary money with which
homes may be built, but even they are
not filing the bill in every particu-

BUILDING BOOM IN HAMMOND
Banks Besieged With People Who Seek Loans for the
Purpose of Building This Year.

capital for the building up of the city
will be a great achievement. The peo-
pie have the inclination to build and
all they need is a little financial as
sistance. If the Lake County Savings
& Trust company is able to secure this
money 1t will help to solve the problem
of providing homes for the people.
Good Banking Proposition.
From financial point of view the
proposition is a good one for the man
who has the money to loan. In the
east there are hundreds of thousands
of dollars that are earning only a bare
or 8 per cent when and per cent
is being paid In --s.sidsy growing locais
tiles like this.
Hammond is not boom town, and
there has never been an imitation of
values, SO the proposition would be a
sound one from a banking point of
view. Property values are also in
creasing at such a steady rate that
property purchased now. providing fair
Judgment is used. will be worth from
Is to % per cent more in five years.
So from every point of view 1t would
be great thing for the city If half
a million dollars or so can be secured
for building purposes In Hammond.
There is not city in the region that
that has banking institutions equal to
those in Hammond. They are the bull
wark of Hammond's Industrial prog
ress. but even the resources of these
banks are soon exhausted by the de-
mands of the home builders, and Ham
nond is now compelled to call upon
the outside world to loan it the money
with which to keep on growing.
