RUINS STAGE
COSTUMES

That the people of Hammond are be-
ginning to appreciate the efforts that
are being made by the management of
the Towle Opera House to book a list
of good attractions is shown by the
fact that Fifty Miles From Boston,
drew one of the best houses of the
year.
The company was a good one and
the audience seemed TO enjoy the play
immensely. 1t is a fact that was not
generally known that the company had
serious accident on the way to Ham

Governor Marshall began the new
year strenuously when he learned that
an attempt was to be made to omen
the Dearborn Park poolroom on that
day He telegraphed to Attorney ]. g.
lbach at Hammond ordering him to
communicate with Sheriff Thomas
Grant and inform him that the gov
ernor had demanded that the poolroom
be closed
Sheriff Grant at once organized his
deputies and went to Dearborn Park
where he had the situation in hand at
all times. The interference of Sheriff
Grant was not necessary, however, for
Governor Marshall had already inform
ed the telegraph and telephone COM
panies that steps would be taken at
once to revoke their charters If they
supplied the poolroom with racing i'm
formation.
The result was that 500 or 900 sports
came all of the way from Chicago to
Dearborn Park on New Years days only
to be denied the right to play the races
and were compelled to wait three hours
for the next train back to Chicago

That the business. men of Hammond
are deeply interested in the matter
of securing a modern hotel is shown by
the fact that second meeting OF busi-
ness men was held yesterday TO take
up the consideration Of the hotel ques-
ton.
The second meeting resulted in the
formation of definite plan which may
result in the building of hotel next
spring. 1t is possible that bonus

Which Comes to Light on
New Years Day, Show

Crown Point, Ind. Jan. st was all
planned that Miss Ruth Victoria john
son of Evanston was to become Mrs
William Palmer on June 90. 1910. Mr..
and Mrs. Martin Johnson, 1928 Ridge
boulevard. her parents. looked forward
to the date with especially satisfac-
ton, for the marriage of their daugh-
ter was to coincide with the thritieth
anniversary of their own wedding
Friends of Miss Johnson were sur
prised to learn yesterday that she had
been the bride of Mr. Palmer since
june 23, 1909. Mr.. Palmer and his
fiancee, unwilling to await the arrival
of the thirtieth anniversary, eloped
and were married at Crown Point on
the twenty return of the day.
Her parents were ever more aston
ished by the news.
When the proper time came Mr.. and
Mrs. Palmer intended to- make the
marriage known to Mr. and Mrs. John
son as a thirtieth anniversary sur
prise.
1t was quite by accident that the
plans went awry Miss Anna Johnson,
a sister of tn ebride, discovered the
marriage certificate in a dresser draw

first insurgent answered mo" to his name
that the game was up with the Cannon
dynasty Butler Ames, Of Massachusetts,
had the distinction, and a cheer broke out
when he spoke up loud and high, as be-
fitted a man who did not care who heard
him. And all through the list never a
man faltered. That list was:
Ames, Carey, Davidson, Davis, Fish,
Foelker, Fowler, Gardner (Mass.). Good,
Gronna, Haughen, Hayes (CaL), Hinshaw,
Rowland, Hubbard Qowa), Johnson,
(ohio), Kendall. Kinksid (Neb). Kopp,
Lenroot, Lindbergh. Madison, Martin
(south Dakota), Miller (Minn.), Morse,
Murdoch. Nelson, Norris, Pickett, Poin-
dexter, STEVENSON, Taylor (Ohio), Vol
stead, Woods-34
That is the original list OF insurgents
who won the day, the others who dropped
in later being band wagoners. And with
the Democrats voting solidly the Dalzell
effort to table was lost by a vote of 164
TO ISL. The speaker announced the result
without batting an eye and without a
tremor in his voice.
The votes to clear the way for real
action were got rid of with all the celer-
ity possible. The previous question on the
appeal was ordered by 1872 yeas to $50 nays
ruling OF the chair be sustained" which
was lost by 100 to 1872 and the revolution
of the house was accomplished.
The Norris resolution then was before
the house with the victorious Nebraskan
in charge OF the floor His first move was
to offer as a substitute for the original
resolution the one that was finally passed.
Again there were efforts at delay and to
take the floor away from him, but the
speaker, upon his deathbed fight, so to
speak. was determined to show that he
could be fair and would not stand for fill
clustering, so he restrained his friend,
Mann, with a firm hand.
Norris tried to get an agreement from
Mann on a division Of time for general
debate. He offered an hour, an hour and
a half and finally two hours a side, but
the regulars refused, making the tactical
blunder of the day. Perhaps they did not
think Norris would dare force through a
cloture rule on them, but that is just
what he did when the time came.
The Nebraskan claimed an hour for
himself and then parceled it out among
friends and enemies, regulars, insurgents
and Democrats in three and five minute
periods.
The speech-mahdng was not the great
thing OF the day. Champ Clark outlined
the position OF the Democrats clearly.
CHAMP OUTLINES POSITION.
IT have one personal remark to make"
he said. land 1 do not care whether 1t
is popular or not. 1t is that this is not a
personal fight against Joseph G. Cannon.
1t is a fight against a bad system. 1t
makes no difference If that system is
sanctioned by time. No progress was ever
made yet without the overthrow of prece-
dents. For the speaker to hold the chair
manship of the committee on rules gives
him more power than any one man ought
to have over the destinies of this republic.
1t is to deprive him of that power that
we have worked this revolution in the
house. We need not mince words, for it
is a revolution"
Representatives Nye and Foelker made
brief statements. both on the side of the

which are forests, embracing in
varying quantities practically all
of the trees indigenous to the east

the dogwood, the black gum, and
the persimmon, and these are
found chiefly in the mountains,
along the banks of streams. and
in the marshes and swamps. The
chief soft woods of the state are
the long and short-leafed pine, the
poplar and the cypress. OF all
Georgia's commercial timber. the
pine is by far the most important.
With over 1000 sawmills in active
operation, with an army of $1,000
