NOT TO BUY STRA.
WORN PLANT

The city of North Yakima will not
buy R. E. Strahorn's water system
for the time being. The council had
passed an ordinance calling for a
vote of the people on bond issue of
$4,000 to buy the system. 1t was
found that this issue of bonds would
consume all the bonded debt that
North Yakima is permitted to issue
under the law and fear was expressed
that to issue this amount of bonds at
this time might put the city into a
Jackpot"
So the council has revoked the or
der for the election and will take nc
further action in the matter at this
time The revocation of the order
for the bond election was taken on
the recommendation of Mayor Arm
truster, who had championed the
bond issue to buy the plant.

STRENGTH OF CADET" SYSTEM
FORMED BY WOMAN'S MUTE
LIPS AND LOYALTY-EXPE
FENCE OF WOMEN WORKERS.

New York, Jan. 21.-John d. Rock
efeller, Jr., has been appointed fore
man of the Kings county grand jury,
ordered to sift the Infamous white
slave traffic.
Can the power of the house OF
Rockefeller uncover evidence to send
the men higher up in this national
shame to the fate they deserve?
Men and women who have given
years to work among the unfortunate
victims of the cadet system" ap-
preciate the monumental task of
young Rockefeller Many predict
that his undertaking will come to
nothing, because the victims seldom
talk. And because they know the
girls upon whom they prey will not
talk, the New York cadets" laugh
III their sleeves at investigation.
To get an idea of the work young
Rockefeller is attempting | talked to
two of the most famous women rescue
workers in the United States.
Women are so constituted that
they never tell" said Miss Margaret
Luther, Bowery sentinel of the Flor
ence Critenden mission. And unless
they do tell, how can the grand jury
secure evidence to convict the men
who trade upon their virtue?
I'm the years have spent in this
work I have questioned not less than
$1,000 girls, and l do not know to
this day why they refuse to give evil
dence. If they would talk the con-
viction of the cadets and the
smashing of the system would be
easy.
81 have had girls point out men to
whom they gave money, but when l
called a policeman to arrest the men,
the girls would refused to testify
Two instances of this incompre-
hensible attitude are typical. We had
a beautiful, frail little girl who for
three weeks was locked in a room to
which men were admitted by ca
det' The cadet entered the room
but twice in this time. When the
girl became ill he ran away, leaving
the door locked, ana IL neighbors had
not found the girl she would have
died We kept her in hospital a
month, and when able she returned
TO the man.
Another girl was terribly beaten

Rockefeller's Money Cannot
Break White Slave Traffic

by her angry youthful master, and
after two months in hospital re-
turned to him"
"Woman's love keeps the white
slave traffic alive. 1t stands to pro-
tect the men who debase this love and
the law said Mrs. F. NJ. Freeman.
1.-The traffic extends into every city
in the United States and Canada. 1t
has lines leading to Europe, and Mr..
Rockefeller's task Is to expose the
headquarters, which are in New York.
"If he unearths the system every
woman who has studied the problem
will be surprised. Effective evidence
can be had only from the women
victims and they will not testify.
Every one of the girls actually
believes the man who debases her
loves her, and her alone. No matter
how inhumanely he treats her, he has
but to assure her occasionally that
he loves her and she will do his bid
ding.
Longing for love nils the breast
of every woman. and these girls,
realizing they have little chance to
gain the love of another man, cling
to the brutes who sell them with
pathetic tenacity.
That's why they won't tell. I've
talked to thousands of these girls
Some were educated and many were
of good families. They all seem to
feel the same way"

Glad He Lost $4,000 Bonus

Santa Rosa, Cal, Jan. 21.-Luther
Burbank, the plant wizard, has a
new claim to fame today. An an
nual grant of $4,000 from the Car
negie Institute. awarded to the horti-
culturist, has been withdrawn, and
Burbank declares the action is re-
lief, maintaining that cares and res
possibilities accompanied the yearly
gift.
The action of the institute officials
is based on the fact that the plant
merger is being exploited for COM
mercial purposes. Another reason
assigned is that Burbank is not the
originator of the spineless edible cac-
tus
Il am exploited, whether / am will
ing or not" declared Burbank.
Moreover, I do not claim to have or
iginated the spineless cactus, but !
do claim to be the first man to make
it commercial useful. But for the
advice of friends I would have dis
solved my connection with the insti-
tute last year Besides cares, the
grant brought full crop of envy
and jealousy Personally / have nc
! desire for wealth or fame. / will
say, though. that it was mutually
agreed by the institute that / should
! have the privilege of supplementins
their inadequate grant by the sale
of my productions, as before the con
| tribution was offered"

ELKS HAVE BULLY

Project for Lodges New
Home Meeting With
Encouragement.

The annual roll call meeting of the
Hammond Elks was held last even
ing and was very pleasant affair. The
names of ten candidates admission to
the lodge were referred to the proper
committees.
During the evening a smoker was
held and refreshments were served. The
building project was discussed, and it
was decided that it would be possible
to commence work on the new club
house within a year.
In fact, the project received the big
gest boost that it has had so far
The subscriptions to stock are coming
in better thas ever before and the
building committee is very much en-
couraged.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one
all the way through. The great in
crease in the membership which has
been accomplished through the energy
of few members is the greatest en-
couragement that the lodge has had SC
far.

BILL: MEETS
WITH MUCH
SUPPORT
Congress Takes Steps With
Zeal to Purify Water OF
Lake Michigan; Congress
man Crumpacker Gives
Measure Hearty Support.

With surprising alacrity the house of
Feareseutativess- sfesterday passed the
bill that is intended to preserve the
water of Lake Michigan adjacent to
the counties of Lake and Cook, in
Indiana and Illinois, from pollution
from the dredgings which the gov
ernment has heretofore dumped into
the lake opposite the Hammond in
take.
The dredgings were picked up in the
bottom of the Chicago and Calumet riv-
ers and was carried over the Indiana
line, where it was dumped into the
lake.
These dredgings have Deen saturated
with the sewage that is dumped into
the river and polluted great quanti-
ties of water. They are said to be re-
spcnsible for the discolored condition
of the lake water.
II is also known that these dredgings
contain quantities of typhoid germs
which contaminate the water and have
caused epidemics of typhoid in the cit
les along the coast
VIII Make New Land
The law now requires that the dredg-
ings must be dumped at least eight
miles away from the shore or may be
placed behind .breakwaters erected
along the shore. For instance. should
the plan to make Wolf lake a harbor
be carried out the dredgings might
be used to extend the limits of the
lake front park.
The bill met with the hearty support
of Congressman Edgar D. Crumpacker
of Valparaiso, who represents the
Tenth district in Indiana. 1t is an
other step in the plan to conserve the
purity of the water of Lake Michigan
so that it can be used for drinking wat
er. Through the reversal of the flow
of the Calumet river it is expected
that the last cause of the pollution
of Lake Michigan water will be re-
moved and the populous district along
the shores Of Lake Michigan in Indi-
ana and Illinois will be provided with
the greatest water supply in the world

KNIGHTS OF
COLUMBUS
FIX Up DATE

For the benefit of the members of
Unity Council, knights of Columbus,
residing in Hammond. Whiting East
Chicag Gary and Indiana Harbor the
committee on transportation announced
that arrangements have been made to
go to Michigan City next Sunday on a
special car on the South Shore line. The
occasion is the big degree work which
Will be put on in the Michigan City
council.
The special car on the South Shore
line will leave Hammond at 1850 in
the afternoon and will return from
Michigan City in the evening after the
degree work and banquet. Whiting,
Indiana Harbor and East Chicago MEM
bers are to meet the car at East Chi
cago. The committee will arrange for
the tickets. AS a necessary considera-
tion the company required that at least
fifty knights must go to Michigan City
before special car could be chart
cred. The returns of the canvass that
have come to the committee indicate
that many more will go than that
number, but In order to protect the
committee and insure the special car
it will be necessary that all go on this
car.

MUST Be
HAMPERED
Street Car Company Is in a
Quandary Over Holman
Street Bridge Building;
Temporary Structure Out
of the Question.

Manager Green of the Hammond,
Whiting & East Chicago line does not
know what he will do during the period
of the construction of the Holman
street bridge, to get his cars from
Hammond to South Chicago.
1t is possible for him to run his cars
over state street, Calumet avenue and
Hoffman street to the main line, but
that would take them nearly a mile out
of the way.
County Engineer w. F. Bridge stated
today that no arrangements had been
made for the accommodation of the
traffic while the bridge is in the
course of construction.
He said that the county had cut
down the appropriation SO that it is out
of the question to erect a temporary
bridge while the new bridge is in the
course of construction.
Take Circuitous Route.
Consequently the people of Hammond
will be greatly inconvenienced for a
period of six to nine months while the
bridge is being built.
There is no way out of it, except
by the old ferry boat. Even the pass
ing of pedestrians to ard from work
at the Simplex will be stopped for a
short period of time.
The only bit of encoura cement that
Bridge was able to give the people OF
Hammond about the construction OF
this bridge is the fact that the job is
so big that only the bridge builders
with great resources and the best OF
equipment can tackle. the job.
These men know that the only way
to make money out of the buildinsr OF
bridge is TO rush the job through
and the chances are that it will be
built in as quick time as possible

MAKE SOME
DISCUSSION

The first meeting of the new board
of trustees of West Hammond resulted
in lengthy discussion of the PROPOSE
ton of passing an ordinance providing
for increasing the saloon license TO
$500.
The board of trustees and the presi-
dent of the village board were recent
ly enjoined from granting any more
saloon license at $500.
The proceedings were brought by the
Golsen-Doan Coal company of Chicago,
to which the village Of West Hammond
owes $500 for coal. No date has been
set for the recount of the ballots in the
recent village election. 1t is under
stood that the ballots are in the office
of the clerk of Cook county, and it is
not known when the recount will be
made.
