Quotes Senator Lodge.

This point was made in response to sug-
gestions in a recent speech by Senator
Lodge. and, quoting one of the Massachu-
sets senator's remarks concerning the
gold standard, Mr.. Stone declared that it
must have been taken from one of the
1895 speeches of Mr.. Bryan.
In all probability, Mr.. Stone continued
Mr.. Lodge would head the committee Of
investigation, and Mr.. Stone expressed
apprehension that that senator would
hesitate to follow out any line of in
quiry which might substantiate Secre-
tary Wilson's contention that American
food products are sold more cheaply
abroad than in the United States.
Mr.. Stone quoted from letters and
newspapers to show a general increase
in the necessaries Of life since the en-
actment of the Payne-Aldrich bill.
Among the letters was one from a St
Louis merchant saying that cotton goods
had increased in price from II to :3 per
cent. linens per cent and hosiery 10
per cent.
Every man of common sense ought,
he said, to know that 'the enormous
profits accruing to investors in these
industries are the result of artificial con-
ditionS created by law"

It's mighty nice in that bunch o.
politicians 10 get together and take
up their valuable time to make out
instructions for the dear people how
to vote this summer and fall. The
people throughout the country should
appreciate this immensely when they
come to know that the whole bunch
do not pay as much taxes as one
average farmer. They really
haven't the time to spare away from
their business and it is only through
their great love for their fellow man
that they are making this sacrifice
and the voter should appreciate to
the full extent their sacrifice.

GOOD AUDIENCE
SEES CLASSMATES"
Shakes Tradition That Ham
mond Fails to Approve
High Glass Drama.

The time-honored belief that come
dies and dramas of the first class will
not draw in Hammond was shaken by
the splendid audience that witnessed
Classmates" at Towles opera house
last evening.
The play itself is metropolitan pro-
duction with a Broadway run but two
seasons ago, and the excellent cast has
remained intact with but a few minor
changes.
The drama was not one of those star
vehicles in which one favorite at
tempts 10 monopolize the spotlight and
cause the audience to think of him and
not the characters OF the play, but a
presentation of people and events by a
competent cast.
Many compliments were made upon
the gorgeous yet harmonious decora-
tions OF the opera house. The wild
eend stage and rearrangement of seats
is a decided Improvement in the thea
ter.

NOVELTIES GALORE
At EAGLES PICNIC
Kindels Grove Event Nets
Much Profit and Amuse-
ment.

The Eagles picnic held yesterday at
inders grove was declared a success
by both the lodge members and the Wis
itors. To show their appreciation the
latter patronized the attractions to the
extent OF $500 clear profit to the order.
The old but always enjoyable diver
sions. such as the paddle wheel mig
ger babies" joke shows and confetti.
were present in abundance. The dan
cling, boating contests and shows drew
those who yearned for more eonserva-
tive pastimes.
The feature which caused more real
amusement than any or all others was
a novelty called the african Dip" A
dummy with blackened face was tied in
a trapeze suspended above a tank of
water. BY parting from a hve-cent
piece a person was entitled to the use
of three baseballs, which IL correctly
aimed and thrown would hit a trigger,
pitching the African" from his aerial
seat into the waters below.
The picnic has become an annual at
traction and will be repeated again
next summer.

DOG SAVES
FRIEND FROM
H|CHWAyMEN

BY befriending a white bull dog that
persisted in following him, Ray Allen,
a compositor and linotype operator en-
ployed at the Conkey plant believes he
saved himself from being attacked with
possibly fatal results. Mr.. Allen has
adopted the dog and stands ready to
pay the owner, yet unknown any price
within reason for the animal The
printer told the story of his escape
from three yegg-men thereby saving
sixty dollars in money, a diamond ring
a watch but losing his breath and faith
in human nature.
Mr.. Allen was walking from the
business districts of Hammond to his
boarding house at 1924 Monroe street
shortly after ten o'clock Saturday even
ing. At Harrison Park a white bull dog
came up to Allen and as the printer is
lover of dogs he stopped to pet the
animal. Thus encouraged the dog per-
sisted in following Allen.
At the Monon crossing upon Conkey
avenue three men stepped out from a
watch shanty and surrounded Allen.
Without speaking one of them made
a rush upon the lone pedestrian holding
a black jack in his raised right hand
In some manner the dog got in the way
of the assailant tripping him in his
leap. As the man fell to the ground
the black jack came down upon the
head of one of the companions who
lrumpled down without a groan.
Allen then made his escape from the
remaining man. When asked If he rar
he said: "Oh didn't run very hard blu
l passed the dog and he was going
some"

living In the United States. In Ham
mond some twenty men of that nation

the object of controversies between
those countries for over a hundred
years
The invitations Ito come back and

Greeks in this country offer free trans
portation and a salary as inducements
for patriotism.
From all reports the Greeks are not
enthused over the offer TO forsake a
comparatively safe Job of Jerking
soda or shining shoes for the uncer-
tainty of the battle field. But just the
same they are all well wishers, and il
Greece wins will get good and chesty
over the victory.

FAVORABLE TO THIS DISTRICT

Washington. D. c., Aug. 2s.-Chicago
is in position to create the greatest
fresh water harbor in the world at a
total expenditure of less than $3.ooo,-
900, according TO preliminary report
made to the engineers corps of the
war department by Maj. Rees. who re-
Gently was transferred from that city
to the war college here,
The work OF surveying the municip-
ality's harbor possibilities was inter-
rupted by the withdrawal of Maj. Rees,
and the character of the preliminary
report which was disclosed today in
dicates the extent of the damage to
the harbor plans inflicted by the war

Maj. Rees was engaged in Investigate
ing details of the probable cost of a
combined river and lake harbor, with
view of presenting to the next ses-
sion of congress a complete report on
the subject. Now that he has been
transferred and the Chicago harbor
district annexed to Milwaukee. 1t Is

CREDITORS

Morris Dobson. proprietor of the fur

Elder building, left this afternoon for
New York for an interview with credit
ors there. During his absence his store
will be closed to avoid the execution
of a Judgment on his stock, he being
confident that satisfactory ADJUST
ment can be had with the creditors
directly. Mr.. Dobson explains his diff
ficulty by the fact that he is over
stocked, and says that he can liquidate
at 100 cents on the dollar If he can
avoid the execution of the judgment.
Even In the event of execution, he
says. he could continue in business, but
that unnecessary heavy expenses would
be involved in a court procedure. AT
any rate, Mr.. Dobson feels satisfied
that he can reopen his store for bust
ness as soon as he returns.
