Trolley Car Bumped Into Vehicle Casting
 Driver Into SIush

During the hail and sleet storm last evening an Oak street trolley car crashed into a horse and closed vehi- cle, knocking the driver from his seat, destroying the glass in the windows of the wagon and otherwise damaging the outfit. The conductor of the car took the names of the passengers but the trolley officials today professed ignor- ance of any such occurrence. It may be that in the present demoralized con- dition of things trolleywise the conduc- tor forgot to turn in his report.

Y. N. c. A. MAY
BREAK AWAY

The proposition of breaking
away from the A. l.. N. A. is being
very seriously considered by the
various Y. Nj. c. A. athletic organl-
cations of the Coast. and 1t would
not be surprising if the rupture
should come at any time.
1t is figured by athletic direc-
tors of the northwest that there is
no longer any use in being under
the control of an organization con
trolled in the east, and that by
breaking away and forming either
a northwest or Coast Organiza-
ton western Y. M. c. A, athletes
would be able to register their own
athletes, arrange their own meets
and have no long delays in CORE
sponding with the east.
Physical Director James Irwin Of
the local Y. NJ c. A. is strongly in
favor of the break-away scheme,
as are also Grilley of Portland,
Cook of North Yakima and several
other Coast directors.

THE DOCTORS PLAYING
WAS TOO TECHNICAL
Patrons at Brooks Theater
Sadly Disappointed at
at the Noise.

Of all the alleged attractions for the
10-cent vaudeville stage, Harvey
Brooks of the Brooks theater believes
he had the limit in DR. Lough last
night. For the small sum of dime Go
cents), DR.. Lough promised to give
the patrons of the theRter a musical
treat, the like of which hath never
tickled the ear of a man in Hammond
before. Well, he did. but he was not
strong on the tickling feature. The
sensation is said to have more like the
feeling which is produced by drawing
a meat saw over the small of ones
back with considerable force. When
Manager Brooks realized that some of
his most steadfast patrons were leaving
the house, because they could not stand
the cold shivers chasing up and down
their backs. he rung down the curtain
and that was the end of Dr. Lough as
a musical performer in Hammond The
only sad feature about the doctor is
said to be the fact that he really be-
lieves he Is an expert who inhales and
exhales musical themes and atmos-
phere, and is a marvel of technique.
The fact of the matter is that sauer
kraut stamper at Highlands can get
more music out of a cabbage head than
Dr.. Lough can get out of a piano.

With Vile Nuisance.

Edwin Mayer, the general manager of

terviewed by a representative of THB
TIMES at his Chicago office this morn
ing and stated that his company has
already ordered the construction of
condensers which will entirely elimin-
ate the odors which have escaped from
the plant in the past.
Mr.. Mayer stated that he appreciates
the fairness of the attitude of the rep
resentatives of the Hammond Business
Mems association. He says that there
was no attempt at coercion and that
they made simply a plain statement of
fact
He said that was the first time that
the nuisance had been called to his at
tention and that he took Immediate
steps to have the condensers put in
which will positively eliminate the
odors.
He says that the plant was recently
moved about a quarter of a mile from
its former location, and 1t seems as
though the prevailing winds. being
from that direction, have made the
odors especially Objectionable
Mr.. Mayors stated that he believes
he still has two weeks in which to com
plete the work of installing the con-
densers. and after they are in opera
tion there will be no more complaint
against the Globe Rendering company
When the Improvement in the plant il
completed Mr. Mayer said he wanted

of his associates:
Whereas, The dean of the Indi-
ana delegation in congress, the
Hon E D. Crumpacker, is am
ply qualified by experience, ability
and character for the position of
speaker of the house of represen-

the belief that he would admin

eminent fairness and in the inter-

progressive principles of republic
anism therefore be it
Resolved, That when chosen to
represent the people of our several
districts in congress we will sup
port Judge E. d. Crumpaker for
representatives, in the confident
belief of his election, and thereby
that the influence of our state in
national affairs will be greatly in
creased and the public interest be
largely served
While Representative Crumpacker is
not avowed candidate the party
leaders expressed the opinion that he
WOULD be an ideal ma n for Indiana re-
PUBLICAN to put forward for the high

faithful and efficient service as a mem
Der of congress entitled him to further
recognition. 1t said that at a

tentative agreement was made to sup
port Representative Crumpacker. The
latter has been a member of congress
for twelve years; is a member of the

Labor Troubles May Be Pre-

Attempts on the part of the heads of

Chicago Dominates Gary.
In Gary the fathers have no local
and that seems to be the foundation
of the difficulty.
The Chicago local only permits the
resident and the/Chicago members of
the union who are under it's jurisdic-

are but eighteen union fathers In Gary.
whereas the contractors need fifty to
do the work.
When more are needed the local un-

unable to furnish men because they
