THINKS BANK WILL
APPEAL TO FOREIGNERS
Postmaster Thinks Ham
mond Will Be Among First
To Get Postal Bank.

Postmaster William H. Gostlin of
Hammond stated that he thought Ham
mond would be one of the first cities
in the region to be given a postal saw
ings bank
He said that he had not made ap-
plication for bank here for the reason
that he expected that the inspectors
would visit the city and determine
when it would be best to establish the
bank
He said that he has noticed that
some of the postmasters over the coun-
try have made application for the
establishment of a bank, but that the
postoffce department had not indicated
that it wanted the postmasters to
make such application, and that he
would not take any such step until he
is requested to do so.
He said he thought the bank would
appeal to a class of foreigners who
wanted to feel that the United States
government is back of their deposits.

MAY LET
PRISONERS
CO. FREE

1t is said that nearly every prisoner
in the Jail at Crown Point may be
freed on writs of habeas corpus as
result of a discovery that has been
made by Attorney Joseph Conroy in the
case y of Joseph Zurko, who was SEN
fenced to six months imprisonment
for wife-desertion. 1t is stated that
most of the judgments under which
the prisoners have been sent to Jail
are faulty.
Joseph Zurko was arrested on COM
plant of his wife, who charged him
with wife beating. He was fined 500
and costs and sentenced to six months
in jail
In the meantime Mrs Zurko began
to regret her action and to long for
the company of her husband She went
to Attorneys Mcmahon & Conroy and
asked them to do what they could.
They examined the records in the
case and discovered the faulty judg-
ment, which may not only release Zur-
ko, but which may also release many
of the other prisoners.
The first hearing in the habeas cor
pus matter was held before Judge
Willis c. Mcmahon in the Lake circuit
court yesterday and the case will come
up again in a few days, when Sheriff
Thomas Grant will be asked to come
in and show why the prisoner should
not be released

HAMMOND Nine AFTER
EVERY NINE IN REGION
Baseball Fans Eagerly Look
Forward To Clash Be-
tween Teams.

Probably the foxiest move ever made
by baseball manager in Lake coun-
ty was made by Manager Ketchell of
to schedule a three-game series with
all the leading teams in the county,
and threfore create an interest among
the baseball enthusiasts of this coun-
ty.
The D. L. has booked both Crown
Point and Whiting for three game
series to be played this year. Crown
Point is to make their first appear
ance on a baseball diamond in Ham
mond July 31st- A return game will
be played at Crown Point and the town
drawing the biggest crowd at their
home game will get the third contest
for their own grounds. The same ar
rangements have been made with the
Whiting Grays.
Crown Point and Hammond would
do more to defeat each other than any
other two baseball mines in the world.
The rivalry that exists among the
players on both teams goes to show
that every player will do all in his
power to defeat the other.
A large sum of money will be wag-
cred on the contest between the two
etams. Every fan in Hammond is 10y
al to his home team, and it seems to be
the feeling among the fans divided
equally the coming series with Crown
Point is expected to be a scorcher.

BRIDGE
IS NEEDED
VERY BADLY
City Council Will Hold Spec
ial Session This Evening to
Take Up Matter of Tenn
porary Structure Over the
Calumet at Holman Street

City Controller John D. Smalley,
mayor pro tenn. in the absence of May
or Becker, who is in the state of
Washington. has called a special meet
ing of the council for this evening to
take steps toward the building of
temporary bridge over the Grand Calu-
met river at Holman street
The cost OF this temporary bridge is
problematical, and may range from
$4,000 to $4,000. H. c. Green, the SUI
perintendent of the Green line. assured
the board Of public works that his COM
pany would pay half of the cost of the
temporary structure. Inasmuch as the
bridge contractors under their con-
tract have the right to tie up the
building of the new bridge for a period
of nine months. it is thought advisable
all around that the city build a tenn
porary structure. The fire protection
for both sides of the river demand
this. as does also the wagon traffic.
II Is imperative that the city build at
least foot bridge across the stream.
Operate Ferry Today.
As a temporary makeshift the city
today operated a ferryboat to carry the
foot passengers from one side OF the
stream to the other. The street car
company detoured it's cars via Calumet
avenue.
In building the temporary vehicle
bridge, the motor boat owners will call
to the attention OF the council that
the Grand Calumet river is a govern
ment stream and that 1t must not be
obstructed in such a manner that boats
cannot readily ply on its waters. They
will ask that the temporary structure
be wide and high enough to pass al
least the biggest motor boat.
The building of a temporary struc-
ture will take not less than two weeks
and IL may possibly be a week before
the company which takes the con
tract will get started on the work

ARRANGE
FOR TRIP
Knights Templar From Var
ious Cities In Lake County
Gather in Hammond Last
Night To Plan Conclave
Attendance.

At the meeting of the Hammond
Commandery, knight of Templars, last
night. the matter of making arrange
ments for the triennial celebration at
Grant Park, Chicago, was taken up.
Representatives of the Commanery
Crown Point, Gary and East Chicago
were present.
The decision was reached to have
special badges made for the occasion.
Hammond has been given a place in
the seventh division in the parade
They will be with the state of Texas.
The fact also became known that all
of the ladies who accompany the
Knight Templars will be given seats
in the grand stand free of charge.
The parade is expected to be one of
the most notable that has ever been
seen in Chicago. The Hammond Com
mandery has made arrangements to
drill frequently between now and the
date of the conclave so that it will
make as good a showing as possible.
The suggestion has been made that
the Hammond Commandery make some
arrangements to provide transportation
for those of the knight Templars who
might care to look over the Calumet
region during the conclave. 1t has been
suggested that day be set aside when
the trip through the region could be
made.
Nothing definite has been done about
this matter, however, and it is proba-
BILE that it will be found too expensive
and too difficult to make such arrange
ments. The idea seems to prevail that
the money could be spent to better ad-
vantage in other ways.

Three Story Business Block
For Improvement of Mail
Order Business Is Soon To

Manufacturer.

There is well defined rumor to the
effect that the f. S. Betz Co. will at
once begin the construction of splen-
did three-story business block, on the
property which was recently purchased
from Gostlin, Meyn & Co.. on North
Holman street. and that the building
will be devoted to the retailing of
household furnishings, office furnish
ings dentists and doctors supplies and
other articles that are handled by the
mail order department of this COM
pany.
Has Grown Amazingly.
The mail order department of the
f. S. Betz company has grown to enor
nous proportions in the past two years
and the need has been felt for local
display room. where the goods that are
handled by this company can be shown.
With this in mind f. S. Betz pur-
chased 100 feet of frontage on North
Holman street last year and has held
it evers ince with the idea of building
building which will be credit to the
city
Since then the plans for this building
have slowly matured and it is under
stood that the actual work of con-
struction will begin this fall. 1t is ex-
pected tnat the pulldlng Will De COM
pleted and ready for occupancy be-

1t will mean the employment of a

| the river.
! Owing to the fact that F. S. Betz is in
Europe and Ralph Groman. who Is In
charge of the mail order department
is in Grand Rapids, it is not possible

credence by those who are close to

decided upon at the meeting of the city

that the father of his country should
