CONTRACTORS
GRAT|FIED BY
REVERSED LAW

The local contractors are very much
pleased over the action OF the supreme
court of the state in reversing Itself
in its decision on the three-mile road
law
William AhIborn said this morning
that he had always been confident that
the court would reverse itself. and es
result he had kept his teams at work
on the South Broadway paving and fill.
Fhe teams had to be fed, according to
Ahlborn, and he might as well keep
them at work. Then too. he was con-
1dent that there would ultimately be-
some solution of the difficulty.
Ray Hatch of w w Hatch & CO..
was also convinced that there would be
favorable decision on the rehearing
of the case But nevertheless the con-
tractors are all glad that the matter
Is finally settled

STATE LINE
ST. OPENING
DISCUSSED

City Attorney John Gavit of Ham
mond said this morning that as a re-
suit of the meeting that he had had
with the West Hammond officials, the
Hammond city engineer would be re-
ouested to. prepare blue prints Of the
territory along the state line that
would have to be opened and that when
this is done the way will be clear for
joint action on the part Of the two
municipal bodies on either side of the
line TO open up the street between Sib-
ley street and Pl1mmer avenue.
The. encouraging thing about the
proposition is that all of the property
owners on both sides of the line are
enthusiastically in favor of the OPEN
ing of the street and realize that it
means the extension of the business
district practically over to the state
line.

Lowell. Ind. Jan. 27.-Loweli and the
many friends of the Hayden family
We're shocked yesterday to learn of the
suicide of Frank Hayden, farmer liv-
ing near Sherburnville
Mr. Hayden was found yesterday
hanging by rope in his barn. the
tragic discovery having been made by
Mrs. Hayden.
NO cause can be assigned for the rash
act or the man. who always seemed to
be In the best of spirits and seemingly
had no worry to make him despondent
Mr.. Hayden was very weu-known in
Lowell and was frequent visitor here
He is the father of Bert Hayden and a
brother of Mrs H. S. Love, both of
Lowell
People who remember having spoken
to Mr. Hayden last Tuesday saw moth
ing peculiar about his manner. and the
thought of death seemed to be farth-
est from him. Only temporary men,
tai alteration can be assigned to his
act. and there is no cause for this.
Judging from his past life

As the continent Of the various sa-
loonkeepers In Hammond is sounded
deeper relative the clause in Mavor
Becker's proposed ordinance which
would have put arbitrary power into
his hands to pass on every saloonkeep-
er. 1t becomes more apparent that this
particular clause has no sympathy
among Hammond saloonmen The ordf-
nance was of course turned down bv
the council, but this does not mean that
this particular clause will not bob up
again some time or other possibly in a
different form.
j. p. Smith, secretary Of the Ham
mond Saloonkeepers' association. and
himself saloonkeeper, threw q new
light on the subject this morning in
discussing it. Mr.. Smith does not see

the mayor, provided the mayor were
disposed to exercise this power through
his appointed comm ssion as club.

Smith, IT would prefer to take NV

Max Lovegren. one of the leading sa
loonkeepers in the Standard district
said.
Personally, I do not think 1t would
make any difference with me whether
such an ordinance would be passed, but
there is no telling what mis- ght happen

commission plan would be the safer"

Hardly had last nights issue of THE
TIMES been off the press when a num-
Der OF Hammond people who saw the
appeal to charity for underfed school
children in the paper. became. busy to
help relieve the situation.
Mrs H. E. Granger. Sc Hamlin street.

called up THE TINES on the question.

we will be glad to receive the as
sistance of any charitably inclined per-
son or society. We had hoped that we
might use one of the play rooms or a
hall in the Lincoln building, but we
have understood since that some of the
parents have objected. saying that they
do pot want the school turned into a
souphouse- Miss Symmes. the princi-
pal of the school, has, however. en-
couraged us to go ahead with our work
and we will now try to secure a vacant
room near the school where we can
give the children warm bowl of soup

Jewish Ladies wouId Help.

Mrs /. I. Modjeska. president of the
Jewish Ladies' Aid society, has also
made inquiries as to where the society
could help poor people. In speaking
of her canvass of the situation TODAY
she said:
The reports in general from the
schools are that the children are well
taken care of. If any assistance is
needd in the Lincoln school we will be
glad to help there We will also be
glad to hear from any other needy fam
lilies in the city"
1t seems that some people on the
north side resent 1t because the char
ity searchlight has been turned in their
direction. An attempt has been made
to explain to them, but they seem to
think that unless a child actually falls
by the wayside that it IS not starving
There may be no glaring cases of starv-
alton in Hammond, but there seems to
be evidence that some school children
are underfed and as a result are handi-
capped in their studies.e A movement

Chief Austgen With Special

With Deputies Keep Con-

Arrests Are Made.

Conditions at the Standard Steel Car
plant were not as bad this morning as
was expected. Chief of Police Peter
Austgen yesterday called upon Sheriff
Thomas Grant for assistance, and the
sheriff arrived In Hammond last night
with large number of deputies, who
We're recruited from the cities of
Crown Point, Lowell and Hobart.
II Is estimated that that there were
seventy officers of the law in charge
of the situation at the Standard this
morning. AS a result the authorities
were able to cope with the situation,
and 1t was kept well in hand.
There were large number of ar
rests, but they were for minor offenses
and We're the result of the plan to
clean out the leaders of the gang and
the trouble-makers who were melting
them to acts of violence.

all be ended in q few days and that

constructed to maintain the health OF
the person who owns It, You might
take it as being a machine for the
purpose of stimulating trade But the
fact that there are different kinds of
premiums offered for each nickel that is
put in does not of itself make it a gam

can turn around and play this premium.
