MISSION WORK AMONG FOR
E|GNERS BRINGS RESULTS

Mission work among the foreigners
of the Standard Steel Car district in
Hammond and in Gary is slowly be-
ginning to show results. and the work
ers in the field are very much encour-
aged because of the success attained
thus far.
The Baptist mission in the Standard
Steel Car district under the direction of
the Rev. ]. E. Sharp of the local Bap-
fist church in fourishing In some in
stances the changes that have been
wrought among the people read more
like Action than fact The mission
house where the converts gather, once
a deiapidated building in which it
seemed impossible to keep a window
whole, is the pride of the Baptist con-
verts. The children who originally bat
tered down the doors and broke the
windows now attend Sunday school
there and hold the place sacred. A
different spirit seemingly has entered
into the people both old and young and
so apparent has been this change that
II has been commented on.
Mission Workers Scarce.
With the assistance of the Standard
Steel Car company a welI-equipped
mission house is maintained, the com
pany furnishes the light and also did
the wiring in the bhilding Saturday
night stereopticon shows are on the
order and they are greatly enjoyed by
the foreigners. Considerable assistance
has come to the mission through the
kind help of Otto Hudson who Is con-
nected with the company and Mr.. Bur-
wick the employment agent The
Misses Carter, of Hammond are active
in the Sunday school work.
Mission workers among the foreign
ers are scarce, but the leaders OF the
work in the Calumet region are work
ing together with beneficial results.
Seeing an Improvement. in their con-
dition some of the foreigners are now
anxious to have their families brought
over from the old country. In order to
take care OF the temporal welfare OF
the foreigners well as their spiritual
IT Is proposed to establish a bureau OF
Information for the benefit of the for

eigners. The Rev Sharp Is taking the
lead in this and has been assured the
assistance of Mayor Becker and 1t is
probable that the Mems Club will be
interested in the bureau of information.
Its primary object is to protect the un-
suspecting foreigner against the willy
fieecer who gets money from him under
some pretense or another
Gary "A Big Field.
In Gary the work has been going on
under the leadership of the Rev. E J.
Smith. There is big field for good
there and like in Hammond the tenn
poral side of the work is not lost sight
of. one of the results of the work in
Gary is free medical dispensary and
couse of educate along lines OF sani-
tation. A free night school is also in
cluded in the plans. Some of the un-
anitary conditions which the poor for
eigners have permitted to exist be-
cause of their lack of education are ap-
palling. It is estimated that there are
anywhere from a hundred to two hum
dred cases of trachoma among the for
eigners in Gary and the disease has APP
peared in Hammond where about eight
or ten cases are said to exist
Trochoma is the most dreaded of all
eye diseases and in its advanced stages
is practically incurable. 1t results in
terrible Disagreement OF the faces and
ultimately in blindness.
Must BE Educated.
! In some of the houses as high as
twenty and thirty foreigners are found
! to live, rather to exist. They sleep
on the floor, on boxes, in fact anything
put sanitary bed. In one case it was
found that one healthy man slept be-
tween two victims of trochoma. He
was only temporarily impressed with
the dire results that would follow If he
should be infected and soon after was
sleeping among the victims again. Al
the last report he slept by himself and
the foreigners were getting around &c
use individual towels instead of using
those which had previously been used
| by the trochonla patients.
Like in Hammond. bureau of in
formation has been started for the

Increases and Decreases.
TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITOL,

Indianapolis, Ind, May 5.-The In
diana railroad commission today an
nounced big batch of changes in
feight rates in Indiana, and the rates
are effective at once. In many cases
the rates are increased while in others
they are decreased. This announce
ment following closely on the heels
of the decision of Judge Remster, of the
Marion county circuit court to the effect
that the orders of the railroad COM
mission are binding on railroads and
hippers Immediately upon their pro-
mitigation and until the order is set
aside by court is of great Importance
to railroads and shippers alike The
decision of Judge Renter is that the
railroad commission has power to en-
force its orders. This is the first time
that a court in Indiana has ever clearly
defiaed the jurisdiction and the power
of the railroad commission in such
broad terms.
The following changes are of interest
especially in the north and centray part
of the state. There are numerous other
changes of rates in the southern part
Of the state. but they are not of interest
to the readers of this paper.

HAMMOND To MAKE
AN INVESTMENT
City Will Patch Up Water
Works System in Near
Future.

Hammond will invest from $4,000
to $4,000 on an extension to the pres
ent water intake, the board of public
works having this matter under consid-
GRAFTON now. 1t is figured to add about
two miles of forty -eight-inch pipe to
the present intake. Like the pipe that
is down now, the new pipe will be iron
and will be fange riveted. BY GO
ing out two miles the water depart
ment believes that it can get beyond
the current that is now sweeping a
poor grade of water into the Hammond
intake.
In the course of time If the grade of
water is not improved additional
extension can be made to the two-mile
extension.

NJ ALEER RETURNS
FROM CO. CRP|TAL
Believes That Prosecution in
Gary Saloon License
Cases Will End.

Attorney W. J. McAleer got back
from Crown Point this morning. happy
over his success in saving John Ben
nett OF Gary from conviction.
McAleer Is convinced that this vic
tory will end the prosecution of the
immunity bath cases. In fact he says
the Judge informed the lawyers that
the civil jury cases will begin Mon
day, and this he takes an an indica-
ton that the other blind pig cases will
be dropped.
From unofficial souce ii is learned
that Judge Willis c. Mcmahon is of
the opinion that the state has been
given a good opportunity to make out
a case against the Immunity bath" de-
PENDANTS and has failed to do so. and 1t
would be useless expense to the coun-
" to continue the prosecutions. He
feels that he has done his duty.
knocks Ont Last Prop.
McAleer said that when the judge
denied that Bennett had been previously
placed in jeopardy and could not be
given immunity by Mayor Knots. the
last prop had been knocked from under
the defense.
He stated that the only thing left
for him to do was to take the propo-
sition as a whole and argue that an
injustice had been done the saloon
keepers as a result of the trick which
made Gary dry
He declared that Attorney Matthews
was a carpet-ba gger, who came to Lake
county from Plymouth to prey on the
saioonkeepers OF Lake county. He
then took up the history of the Calu-
met township remonstrance and showed
the county had lost something like
$4,000 in revenue as result He
fayed Attorneys Bruce and Matthews
numerically and it was this. in his
opinion. that resulted in the disagree
ment of the jury.
McAleer states that he has 1t on good
authority that the jury stood IL to l
for acquittal at one time, and at no
time were there more than two of the
jurors in favor of conviction.

Preachers Are Incensed.

number Of the preachers of the
city are somewhat incensed over the
fact that they have been receiving a
large number of circulars from the
Personal Liberty League, which is
starting a campaign of education in re-
gard to the liquor question.
Rev. c. J. Sharp of the Chris tan
church in this city said that he has re-
ceived a number Of these circulars, and
he knows of number of other preach
ers who are also on the mailing list
of the Personal Liberty League.

cleaned up the back salary list

We find that we are compelled to
employed the most expert help for the
reason that this work must be very
carefully done. We pay one of the

Under these circumstances we feel
that we are justified in raising the

our health. The officers of the com
pany have not been getting more than
mere pittance for the work they have
been doing.

there is such great real estate activity

this city last Tuesday afternoon in his
special car. together with a number of
other officials of the company. to look
