down a hill after a sharp curve about
a mile east of st. John not far from
a country school house. 1t skidded on
the road which was wet after the early
morning rain and the descent was so
sudden that Minard was unable to
negotiate the turn. He lost control of
the steering wheel and as the big car
flew down the hill it veered to the left

Matter IS
TAKEN UNDER
AMUSEMENT


Crown Point, Ind, July 19.-The in
junction matter in which the Gary &
Southern railroad seeks to have the
city of Gary enjoined from interfering
with the construction of its line was
practically completed before Judge H.
S. Barr in the Lake circuit court this
morning.
The court stated that he would take
the matter under advisement until a
week from today, when he would an
nounce his decision. This postpones
the matter for another week
The only way in which the matter
could come up again is for the Judge to
call in the lawyers and ask for some
additional information on the case
1t is understood that there is con
siderable law to be looked up in the
case, and this is the reason why the
Judge has taken the matter under ad
vfsement for so long.

Mayor Lawrence Becker Informed e.
F. Johnston, secretary of the Hammond
Business Mems Association that the
next street to be opened in Hammond
would be Calumet avenue.
He declared that this street would be
opened through to Sheffield avenue
fet throughout its whole length.
The early opening of this street will
afford new way of reaching the east
ern portion of Hammond. Heretofore it
has been necessary to come into Ham
north and then take one of the east and
west streets to the vicinity of Calumet
avenue.
NOW 1t will be possible for automo-
bilists to go from the White House to
Calumet avenue and thence through
Hammond on this street It will take
a great amount of automobile traffic
off from the main thoroughfare of
Hammond and will add to the business
that will be done on Calumet avenue.
For months an effort has been made
to have Calumet avenue opened and
wfdened by the people of the East Side
but nothing has been done 1t is ex-
pectea now that the mayor will get
busy and the opening of the street Wal
mean that Hammond will have the
longest street in the Calumet region.

The rapid development of this street

WHITING HAS
GREAT BLAzE {
100000 Fire Sweeps Through the
Grease Factory of Standard
Oil Plant Last Night

dFeds OF barrels of grease painted the
sky red. The flames could easily be
seen In South Chicago, Hammond and
Gary. To add to the general excite
ment, every railroad engine in town
blew its whistles and rang It's bell,
and whistles in the main plant which
had been silent for years opened up
to add to the general roar.
FIRE DEPARTMENT HELPLESS.
The big fire department which the
Standard maintains, the city fire de-
partment and the Hammond depart
ment from Robertsda1e were helpless
against the flames. It was after three
o'clock before the fire was in any way
under control. and it is still shoulder
ing today.
For a time it looked as though the
fire would sweep over the entire plant
and some of the excited foreigners liv-
ing near the plant began to move out
their furniture
In addition to the grease plant eleven
box cars two of which were loaded with
barrels OF grease and five tank cars
were destroyed.
The grease plant is one Of the larg-
est in the country and makes grease
and lubricators of every description.
The plant will be rebuilt Immediately.

KERN WON'T ACCEPT
THAT NICE FAT JOB

g. good many reasons. the main reason
being that Kern charged that he was
defeated for senator to years ago by
the brewers, who, he says, used their
influence to take eight Democratic
members of the Legislature away from
him after they had promised to vote
for him. They voted for and nominated
and elected Senator Shively and every
body in Indiana knows that ever since
then Kern has been shooting it into
the brewers for carrying out what he
has designated as a beautiful double
cross.
This charge has aroused the brewers
They didn't want Kern nominated for
Senator this year, either, and Taggart

he says that houses and flats bring
enormous prices, and declares that
there is great deal of money in the
business of building houses and selling
them.
He says that the cost of vacan

country.

STANDARD
GETS FAT
CAR ORDER

The Baltimore Car company, which
is controlled by the Standard Steel Car
company, secured an order from the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad for 2,O0O new
steel freight cars This is one of the
best orders that have recently been
placed
1t indicates the progressive policy
of President willard, who has recently
taken charge of this road. For some
reason or another the western roads
do not seem to be placing many orders
for cars.
In view of the fact that the Ham
mond plant of the Standard Steel Car
company was constructed for the pur-
pose OF building cars to supply to west
tern demand. the Local plant has never
run to its full capacity.

doubtedly have been lost. life line
was thrown from the Evanston to the
'-Billposter" and by means of this the
shipwrecked passengers were taken
aboard the rescuing yacht.
The first appearance of the wrecked
boat yesterday morning was the source
of mystery. John Snyder. special officer
at the Lake Front park at Hammond
was the first to sight it.
Boat Mystery at First.
He called the attention of men In the
fishing camp and they went out In row
boats. BY and by the craft drifted into
Whiting territory and by striking a
sandbank partly righted itself The
Ncff boys swan out and towed 1t in,
while the police in boats brought in the
main top and jib sails.
Three life preservers and a pair of
trousers. containing a nickel plated
watch. were found in the beat and this
added to the mystery.
Later in the day Mr.. Herman. the
owner, came to Whiting and explained
that he and his thre passengers, Robert
Peters, c. J. Conlon and Theodore
Morris were in the race under the au-
spices Of the Columbia yacht club and
they were ten miles from the club
house when they were overtaken by the
squall.
