OH, YOU
SHARRER
AND HINDS!

Philadelphia, Oct. 1s.-It's great
to be from Indiana, especially IL
you nrc attending n worlds series,
have no ticket and meet a cop who
alsome came from the HOOsier state.
DIR. Harry e. Shnrrer and John ii.
l.. Kinds of Hammond, Ind, came
on to see the worlds series. They
did not --ow they were coming un-
til Saturday, and consequently had
NO time to make arrangements for
tickets. When they reached here
they could get nothing save the
ones In the possession of the scalp
ers, and this made no hit with them.
SO they went out to Shibe's park.
They arrived early. 1t was just
about time for the gates to be
thrown open and they saw they
would never get within If they took
their places In the long line and
waited.
As the gates were swung open,
the physician made rush and got
I'm all right. But his friend was
lost in the shuttle. The doctor was
going in search of him when a big
policeman stopped him.
"Here, you, what you doing.- de-
mandec the officer.
II lost my friend" replied the doc
tor.
ssTell 1t to Casey" laughed the po-
liceman.
''But 1 did It's pretty tough to
come all the way from Indiana and
then not be able TO get I'm to see
the game you came to see."
"You from Indinna.- ouerfed the
cop.
Il nm.-
$50 am IT, said the copper. And
he not only found the physfcian's
friend but he pushed them In ahead
of the fellows who had been wait
ing since midnight. There were
probably half n dozen people In
when the two gents from Indiana
arrived and took their choice of un-
rcserved seats.

LAKE Cd,
COUPLE ON
NOVEL TRIP

Rensselaer,, Ind, Oct 1S.-A. B. Sher-
wood and wife, who live miles ca st
of Crown Point, are taking a novel trip
to the southern part of the state, ex-
pecting to visit Martinsville and other
places and to return by the first of
November. They are travelling in an
old fashioned covered wagon of the
prairie schooner sort, although the wa
gon was not the hoem made style that
were used by the pioneer homeseekers
fifty years ago. The wagon was equip
ped with spring bed and other con-
veniences and Mr.. and Mrs Sherwood
were thoroughly enjoying the trip. They
are native Missourians and have lived
in Lake county for the past four years.

CASE HEARD

Crown Point. Oct. 1S.-The trial of
the Seaman injunction case against the
city of Gary Will come up before Special
Judge Johnson in the circuit court at
Valparaiso today, providing the opposi-
tion is not able to postpone the trial
again, and it is predicted that the
Seaman interests will gain their noted
point at the close of the case Those
on the inside claim that the Gary off,
cials who have opposed the building of
the road and granting the necessary
franchise are up to the last ditch and
will throw down the gauntlet without
making determined effort to urther
interfere in the matter. A recent meet
ing of those interested in Chicago. may
be said to be responsible for the prob
able attitude of the Knots faction
in the latest phase of the controversy
and 1t is hinted that the riot act" read
by Mr.. Seaman to certain interested
parties. in the case may have been
fruitful in bringing about an entirely
new attitude regarding the proposition
took that assumbed in the past The
people of Crown Point are watching the
case and its outcome with great in
terest and hopes are that Mr.. Seaman
may be successful in the courts. in

WORK ON DEPOT
SOON TO START
Corps of Surveyors Arrive in the City
Today. Structure to BE Put
On the Old Site

the rights of way of these two rail-
roads,
A. s. Kent said this morning, we
are going to build depot in Ham
mond that Will be a matter of pride to
the people OF the city, It Will be ade-
quate and modern in every respect aud
will. be sufficient TO meet the needs of
the city for years to come
Mr.. De Golyer is now at work on
the plans. and it is very probable that
work will begin within six weeks.
The depot should be completed in the
early spring. A special design Will
have to be created to make the depot
fit the site. but 1 am sure it will be at
tractive when it is completed"
TO AVOID ALL DELAY.
The representatives of the railroad
seem to be very enthusiastic over the
new depot and are of the opinion that
when it is completed the people of
Hammond will give their approval of
the new station.
Secretary Z. F. Johnston broached
the subject of changing the site to the
, location between Sibley and Fayette
streets, but Mr. Kent did not give him
any ncouragement.
Johnston said afterwards, About ten
years ago the Monon announced it's in
tention of building a depot in Ham
mond. but Mayor Knots suggested that
the roads get together and build
| Union depot. The result was that the
| appropriation which had been made
was appropriated and Hammond has
! had to wait for ten years before it got
| a new depot. I am in favor of giving
! the railroad all of the announcement
| possible to build a new depot anywhere
, right away.
| Another matter of interest is the
fact that the freight office will be
taken from the depot and the Monon
railroad will build a fine new freight
office in this city in the future.
1t is believed that the railroad will
move the old depot to the vacant prop
erty between Sibley street and Fay
cite street and use it temporarily as
depot while the new building is being
constructed.

NIGHT FORCE
ORDERED To
WORK AGAIN

- s - y
The Western Steel Foundry Co Of
Hegewisch ordered the night force
back to work last week after it had
been taken off for about month. This
is one of the most encouraging bits
of information that has been received
in Hammond in some time.
l. was not expected that there would
be very much of a revival of activity in
the car building line in this region un-
til after election but night force at
the Western Steel Foundry Cos. plant
has aroused the expectations of similar
activity elsewhere.
fFhe pay roll at the Standard Steel
Car Co. a t Hammond for this half of
the months shows slight increase.
fact that is not generally appreciated
by the people of Hammond is the grow
ing importance of the steel passenger
car manufacturing end of the Standard
Steel Car Company's business.
Most people are of the opinion that
the principal product of the Standard
is steel freight cars. The facts are
that the manufacture of steel passenger
coaches has grown to such proportions
/ that the salaries in this department
equal that in the freight car depart
n.ent. The manufacture of steel pass
enger cars calls for a high class of
workingmen some of whom receive 500
for two weeks pay.
1t is this class of worl<ingmen who
are sure to be good spenders and who
will bring prosperity to the city. If
the orders that are looked for in the
freight car department of the Standard
materialize after election it is expected
that this winter will be one of the most
| prosperous that Hammond has ever
| known.

Work will start on the new Monon
depot in Hammond in six weeks.
This was the positive statement Of
Engineer a. S. Kent and Architect +.
S. DeGoyler who arrived in the city
this morning with a corps of sur
veyors and took the measurements Of
the site of the new depot.
This is the first evidence of real
activity following the exclusive story
in THE TIMES in which General
Manager B. E. Taylor was uoted as
saying that the depot would be built
at once.
1t developed this morning that the
depot will be located on the site OF
the old station, as advocated by THE
TINES The reason for this is that 1T
is more centrally located and Will save
the company the money that would be
required to purchase additional prop
erty.
The new station will cost in the
neighborhood of s25,O00, and after an
inspection of all of the other depots
in the city Architect De Golyor stated
that the new Monon depot, when COM
pleted, will be the finest in the city.
TO BEAUTIFY CITY.
Probably the most important devel-
opment as a result of the visit of the
Monon architect and engineer to this
city is the fact that the officials of
the railroad have in mind scheme
for the parking and beautifying of the
right of way through Hammond that
will change the entire appearance of
the city.
1t is expected that the Erie railroad
will then cooperate with the Monon
to the extent that the Erie railroad
will then cooperate with the Monon to
the extent that the building plans OF
he two roads will harmonic and a civ
ic cener of beauty will replace the de-
crepit old buildings that now occupy

ANOTHER
DOG BITES
A VICTIM

Benjamin Peschke, 403 Plummer ave-
nue., was bitten by dog yesterday
near the Central Park livery stable
The dog was running at large unmuz-
zled contrary to the proclamation is
sued by Mayor Becker because of the
mad-dog scare in aHmmond.
1t seems that Peschke incurred the
enmity of the dog because he played
with herp ups. He went to the office
of DR. W. d. Weis where the wound
was dressed. 1t was found that the
infuriated animal had inflicted quite a
wound.

CHECK CANAL
FOR DRAINING BASIN
First Recorded Purchase by
Sanitary District of 180
Acres Is Made.

Politics checks construction of the
Sag-Calumet channel by which the
Chicago sanitary district proposes re-
lieving the entire Calumet valley of
overhows, according to trustees of the
sanitary district at the meeting yes
terday of the engineering committee.
A delegation from Blue Island was
demanding high rates for property
abutting the proposed channel, in
stead of taking the prices fixed by the
board of adjusters.
THE persons along the proposed
route of the Calumet-Sag channel, -
said one of the trustees who is can
didate for reelection, have an idea
they can hold up for high prices
because some of US are running for re
election"
The first recorded purchases by the
sanitary district in connection with

made during the day. They were six

OFFICE SUITES IN BLDG,
TO HAVE HIGHER RENTS
Heavy Demand for Lofts in
Hammond Bldg. Cause
R@djustment.


The 15e people who spend eevry
working day in the Hammond building
as tenants or the employees of tenants
rent for office suites is to be raised
from 33 1-s to so per cent as soon as
the present leases expire.
The tenants wer~ all notified to this
effect today The five-room suites will
be increased from $40 to $50 per month,
the three-room suites from $50 to $40
and s42 per month and the two-room
suites from $3.50 to s22 per month,
according to the floor space.
Omar Trout, the custodian of the
building, justified the increase for the
following reasons. The demand for
offices in a high class office building
is so great that if a whole floor ras

and who are willing to pay the in
creased rent
Big Investment.
The Hammond building cost approxi-
mately 100000 to build. but II the
building were to be built today it could
not be duplicated for less than $780,
900. In addition, the increase in the
value of the land since the building
was built has been four fold. So if
the Hammond building were to be sold
today at its actual value it would take
nearly 100000 to buy it, And the
purchaser would have to realize a fair
rate of interest on that investment The
present increase in rents will no more

HAMMOND
BASEBALL
LOONY NOW

Hammond is baseball crazy. The
world series has proven to be a fit
ting climax for a baseball season of
unusual interest. IN the shops, the
store the saloons and the street
baseball is the sole topic of converse
ton.
A great deal of interest is believed
to be due to the fact that that during
the season THE TIMES has given its
readers a sporting news service that
has not been excelled by any of the
Chicago newspapers.
The result has been that the Ham
mond baseball fan is about the best
informed man on baseball in this part
of the country. Yesterday at $3.50 THE
TINES was on the street with the re-
suit.
He takes real pride in the fact
that he knows the results of the games
in advance of his Chicago brother fans
and in the fact that Hammond has a
sporting sheet that not only can but
does give the result first.
Baseball VS.. Politics.

Mr. Binyon was going something less

Anyway he couldn't go, for Mr.. Stech
had possession of the beautiful touring
