James McCrohan Misses His
Footing and Falls Under
Lake Shore Train at Glib
son Last Night and Shock
ing Death Results.

James McCrohan, 80 years old. ap
parently a railroad man. was accident
ally killed yesterday afternoon at Glib
son when he missed his footing in an
attempt to jump on the last coach of
the turn around suburban leaving
Gibson for Chicago at APO. The body
was mangled beneath the wheels while
a number of eye witnesses stood near
by unable to rescue him. They say
that the train was moving slowly, and
that McCrohan, fearing he would miss
it, ran to jump on while the train was
in motion. He was at the roundhouse
applying for job, but failed to get
employment.
McCrohan had neither friends or
acquaintance in Hammond or Glib
son. The only thing on his person to
identify him was a card reading:
James McCrohan. Camp 29.'' but no.
body hereabout knows where Camp
29' is. 1t is thought that 1t is camp
of some railroad construction gang.
The body was brought to Hammond
in the police ambulance and turned
over to Undertaken Charles Neidow.
The man had no money in his clothes
and unless the relatives are found he
will be buried in the potter's field next
Monday.

WATER POLO
At /. 4. A.
CLUBHOUSE

Water polo is the next sport to be
introduced at the Hammond Athletic
association. G. Morganau is the pro-
moter of the new game which has
never been witnessed in Hammond be-
fore.
The swimming tank at the Hammond
Athletic club has aroused more enthu-
siasm among the members of the local
team than any other sport which is
represented to the public by the II. A.
A club. There are over 100 swimmers
who enjoy a good swim every evening.
With a large number of excellent
swimmers to pick from Morganau
thinks he can get together two teams
about evenly matched and give the peo-
pie of Hammond a chance to witness
a game of polo played in the water.
The promoter of the new game made
it known to all swimmers last night
that he expected to get together two
fives. and that all swimmers would be
given a chance for a position on the
teams. Any good swimmer who would
like to play the most exciting game

PURTE[LE
LOOKS OVER
SITUATION
Especial to THE TINES }

Dyer, Ind, July 16.-Eugene Purtel1e,
president of the Indiana Northwestern
Traction company was in Dyer yester-
day to look over the routes for the in
terurban, and also the probable sites
for a power station. The route for the
main line has been quite definitely fix
ed, but the route for the spur to Chi
cago has not been decided upon.
Various people connected with the
construction company whose surveying
gang is now working southwark. have
given out information as positive to
the effect that the Indiana Northwest
ern Traction company had franchise
IN Hammond. This information how
ever is misleading, as the company has
no franchise until it deposits, $1,000
cash money and a nine thousand dollar
| bond with the city treasurer The time
for doing this has expired. but the
council now has under consideration
an ordinance granting the company an
extension of time in which the securities
must be fled. The council is not
scheduled to hold a regular meeting
until the first week In August. and
there will likely be no special meeting
| in the meantime to take final action or
the extension question.

BANKS IN
ANSWER To
EDITORIAL

The editorial in THE TIMES, recent
ly. about the attitude of railroads in
regard to demands by the public, more
specifically, the E., ]. & Il. railroad S
answer to the city on the question of
selling to the city a small strip of land
,for Strengthening of the Holman street
bridge has brought forth a reply from
A. F. Banks. president of the road.
THE TINES editorial charged the rail-
road company with "hpggishness" for
its refusal to sell the strip of land.
The railroad company through its pres
ident answers that it was willing to
give the city the strip. provided the
city would procure for the railroad a
similar strip TO the west of the E, J.
& E.'s property. The Erie railroad
owns the property to the west and to
buy it would involve litigation, tending
to delay the construction of the bridge.
The bridge contractors, themselves un-
der bond to the county commission
ers, in the case of litigation demand
a bond from the city for non-interfer-
ence or for loss of time Under the
circumstances the city thinks it mad
visable to open negotiations to buy the
necessary property needed in straight
ening the bridge.

AUDITORS
SUBMIT
REPORT

The report Of the auditors who went
over the books of the Village OF West
Hammond was submitted to the mem
bers of the village board at their last
meeting and it is understood that the
matter will go over until a week from
next Thursday when the board will
again consider the report
1t is understood that whether or not
there are any discrepancies discovered
in the accounts that a new set of books
Will be put in and that the entire book
keeping system of the village will be
changed.
The injunction proceedings which
were Instituted by the Golson-Dunn
Coal Co to restrain the Village of West
Hammond from granting saloon Ii
censes for less than $500. was made
permanent ad the village officers will
now be compelled to charge $500 for IL
censes.
In view of the fact the cost of sa-
loon license in Hamond is only $3.50.
it is expected that most of the West
Hammond saloons will move over to
the Indiana side of the state line and
that a regular whiskey row will be
established there. BY so doing the
West Hammond saloon keeper will
save $3.50 each year and will be just as
able to serve his customer.
In this way the residential district
along Ann street will be put in neigh i
| borhood of saloons and the only thine
that can prevent 1t is for the city OF
| Hammond to raise its fee for licenses
to the figure that is established fr
the state of Illinois

the arrangement.
The creditors all seem to be con-
