SHOW WAS
POORLY
ATTENDED

The Servant of the House" is said
by those who saw it last night TO have
been one of the finest attractions that
was ever seen in this city and yet 1t
played to only about half house.
Manager Manderbeck is very much
disappointed to think that the show
was was not better patronized. How
ever, the advance sale for The Cli-
max" which appears at the Towle
Opera House tonight indicates that this
show will draw a good house
The Climax" is one of the best at
fractions of the year and had a, great
run in Chicago. 1t Is expected that aft
1r the performance here the show will
go to Chicago, where it viii start on
another run.
Next week the fight fans will be in
terested in the display of the Nelson
Wolgast fight pictures which will be
put on Monday and Tuesday. The at
traction for tomorrow is the Lyman
Twins, a musical comedy.

Lake County Manufacturers
Take Initiative in Fight

fore State Commission.

Lake county manufacturers will
fight the proposed 10 per cent increase
in coal rates which the Indiana rail-
roads have announced they will make.
Every consumer of coal in the region
is expected to rally to the fight, and
if the rate goes into effect it is likely
that an injunction will be sought to
restrain the railroads from making the
proposed increase.
John E. Fitzgerald. one of the lead
ing manufacturers of Hammond. went
to Indianapolis Yesterday where he ap-
peared before the Indiana railroad COM
mission and stated the grievance of the

ANOTHER
THEATRE FOR
THIS CITY
Heintzes, Father and Son,
Will Put Up Splendid
Theater Next Year on the
Site of Hammond Meat
Market, Casting $4,000.

Hammond is to have one of the An
est scent theaters in the region. 1t
is to be built on the property on West
State street, owned by Louis Heintz
and now occupied by Charles Berendt's
meat market The building will cost
IN the nefghborhood OF $4,000. and will
be built by Louis Heintz and managed
by his son, Fred Heintz.
The work of construction will not
begin for year. however. owing to
the fact that Heintz had an agree
ment by which he was to give Berendt
a year in which to find another loca-
ton This will make 1t necessary for
another Hammond business man to find
a new location in the business dis
trict of the city.
The new theater will be made as
modern and complete as possible. 1t
will have frontage of twenty five feet
and a depth of 100 feet. The ceilings
will be twenty FIVE feet high.
Other improvements Result.
An arrangement will be made by
which there will be an exit into the
Palace of Sweets, as well as out onto
the street. In all there will be nve
exits in case of fire.
NO expense will be spared in max
ing the theater as complete and com
cons truct this theater will elimina tt
another wooden shack from the bust
ness district and will greatly improve
the appearance of West state street.
f1eintz expects to finance the dea
through the sale of his lot on Nortf
Holman street. This property is 10

Inquiries Growing.
1t has been noticed by real estate
men that West State street property
has begun to move. Inquiries are go-
ing on all along the line as far as
State Line street The opening of the
latter street is partly responsible for
this. but the proposed Harvey interur-

inquiry.

property" said Mr.. Huber. but it Is

BOARD WILL
HAVE: 4 HARD
Nut TO CRACK
fspecial to TIE TrMEsD

Indiana Harbor, May 2.-Rival fac
tions are marshalling their forces for
a battle royal before the county COM
missioners Monday on the question OF
a through road to Whiting.
The proposition has two distinct fol-
lowings. One of these favors the Parish
avenue route. which would follow di-
rect course from the heart of Indiana
Harbor, to the heart of Whiting, and
the other faction wants Canal street
to figure as the connecting link which
will bind together upper and lower
ends of the proposed roadway.
Much Feeling shown.
A large delegation from Indiana Har-
Dor is prepared to wait upon the coun-
ty commissioners at the meeting of
those officials Monday morning with
a view of seeing that nothing is put
over by the opposing faction, as it
was rumored that a job had been con-
cocted. which would tend to influence
the county commissioners in favor OF
the Canal street course. The Canal
street course. as prepared, would enter
Whiting and Indiana Harbor on the
outskirts of both cities, necessitating
| a round about way into Indiana Har-
Dor, over unpaved streets. whereas the
Parish avenue route insures easy and
direct access into labyrinth of paved
streets in the very heart of the Har-
bor.

School Enumerators Make
Their Returns to Board of
Education and Supt. Nc
Daniel of City Schools
Tries to Figure Out Why.

Somewhere Hammond lost ten souls
in the school enumeration compared
with last year. Ten is admittedly a
small number, but it calls attention to
the fact that the number of those. of
school age did not increase or 10
per cent during the past year. as might
have been exepcted. superintendent C.
NJ. Mcdaniel and hte enumerators have
been trying hard to figure out a rea-
son for this peculiar situation. Ev-
eryone knows that Hammond has
grown during the past year. that
houses are more scarce than ever, and
that on the whole there are more peo-
pIesln Hammond than there were a
year ago. The solicitors are expert
eneed men. who have followed similar
work in the past, and yet Hammond
failed to make the expected showing.

cause the growth population ina city
