What Do You Think?

Agent Duffner Of the Nickel Plate
railroad called up THE TIMES today to
inform it that a telephone, a brand
new one, had been installed at the de-
pot, and it will now be possible for the
patrons Of the road to determine the
lateness of all through trains at any
time.
Regarding the suburban trains, there
will soon be a telephone service In
stalled between the stations on the loop
so that reports may be had from them,
too. At the present time the time OF
arrival and departure of loop subur-
ban trains will be a matter of conject-
ure.

mayor claims that he has known of
the proposition for a month. That is
probably true, for it has been ION tap"
for at least that long.
And one of the most amusing things
about the whole proposition is the
fact that the idea was suggested to the
East Chicago authorities by a we'll
known democratic lawyer of Hammond.
That gives something of an idea of the
beautiful harmony that prevails in the
democratic party in Hammond
The prospect of Hammond's being
annexed by East Chicago was the
principal topic of conversation in Ham
mond last night The opinion general
ly expressed that annexation is de-
sirable and that it did not make any
difference whether East Chicago COB
bled up Hammond or Hammond COB
bled up East Chicago.
Who VIII GobbIe First.
1t has been suggested that if Mayor
Becker thought that annexation is in
evitable that he might hold a meeting
of the council and take in East Chicago
while it was contemplating doing the
anaconda stunt with Hammond.
There are several reasons why he
could not do this. In the first place he
has seven republican alderman to eight
democrats. The republicans would not
follow Becker's lead in this matter
and 1t would take three readings to
pass an annexation measure IN East
Chicago it would take only one under q
suspension of the rules. And then it il
known that Becker is opposed to an
nexation for good political reasons and
some alleged other reasons
So it looks as though Hammond
would be the gobbled and East Chicago
the gobbler- East Chicago thinks thai
1T has as good as got Hammond's an

the Green lines proposition and they
are especially friendly to the Green

East Chicago want to see the Green
line built through to Indiana Har-

1t may be said to be just about a set
tied fact that the Green line will get
the franchises it asksfor in East Chi
cago 1t also seems to be just about
settled that the Gary & Interurban
line will get it's franchise from the
friendly administration in Hammond.
If both are granted exclusive fran
chises there will be a deadlock, for the
reason that the Green line will not be
able to go any farther south than the
East Chicago Hammond corporation
line, and the Gary and Interurban line
will not be able to go any farther north
than the Hammond East Chicago cor
poration line

In view of the fact that the HAM
