ALL RECORDS
ARE SMASHED
Thermometers in Lake Co. Register
From 1O2 to ITO Degrees at
Various Times Yesterday

If man had died yesterday and
found himself in Mephisto's realm he
would probably have sent back to
earth for his overcoat. That gives an
idea of how hot it was. Briefly it
was hotter'n hades.
The people of Lake. County swelter-
ed in the heat all day long and that
there were not more prostrations
seems marvellous. The cities in the
Vicinity of the lake were more fortu-
nate than those which were farther
removed from the cooling breezes.
1t is said that yesterday was the
hottest day since the summer of 1902.
In Hammond the temperature was 1o3
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1910-07-25

IN the streets and several degrees low
er in the shade
thermometer at Shelby registered
loo' one at Crown Point 100 and one
at Lowell 103. Had it not been for
the fact that the heat was dry the
suffering would have been much more
intense. Gary is proud to record a
thermometer which registered 10 but
no affidavits are obtainable.
DRY HEAT SAVES LIVES.
In fact II there had been a great deal
or humidity in the atmosphere 1t is
very likely that there would have heen
hundreds of prostrations and a number
of deaths
The fact that yesterday was a day of
rest and not working day also had
great deal to do with keeping the
mortality down. Today there was the
promise of cooler breezes and while it
Is still hot the thermometer did not
approach the mark set yesterday.

JOHNSTON JR, MAY
RUN FOR OFFICE
Hammond Lad at Charlie
voix Asks That Long
Green Be Sent On.

The first word from Boy City at
Charlevoix. Mich. was a letter from
Friedley Johnston TO his father, E F.
Johnston of Hammond. asking that a
little of the long green be sent along
as quickly as possible
Friedley is one of the resourceful
young business men of Hammond, who
has succeeded in raising part of the
money with which to take the trip to
Charlevoix
However, the expenses were greater
than he expected, and so he had to call
on the family reserve. 1t will be re-
membered that Mayor Crumpacke sent
in similar call for assistance last
year just previous to his election to the
mayoralty
Just what office Friedley has doffed
his cap at, Mr.. Johnston is unable to
say.

HIS CLAIMS

Attorneys Mcmahon and Conroy of
Hammond are busy with the prelimin-
ary work that will be necessary to es-
tablish the claims of w. &. Valiant of
this city to a share in the estate of
VIM. 7. Valiant, the millionaire Balti-
more crockery merchant.
He has ascertained certain facts
which add to the probability that the
well-known Hammond carpenter will
share in the vast riches that were left
by his uncle and his wife, Lydia Vail
ant
VIM. T. Valiant died several years
ago and left a vast estate TO his wife,
Lydia Valiant. The estate consisted
of real estate in Brooklyn. Baltimore
and Philadelphia and other collateral.
1t is said to be in excess OF $1,000. 900
in value
Lydia Valiant died in March of this
year and. it is understood. left no will

Attorneys Mcmahon and Conroy are
doing all of the preliminary work here,
but ii is expected that member of the
firm will go east shortly to look after
valiants interests there.
While Mrs. Valiant was very reticent
yesterday, Mr.. Valiant talked freely
10 his attorneys about the matter and
gave them much valuable informa ton
about the case.

Of COURSE
THE ROADS

John w. Dyer Reports That
Railroads Are Paid Mile
age for Carrying Letters
and Gives the Business
Men Some Suggestions.

John w. Dyer of Hammond and Indi-
annapolis returned today and Indicated
his interest in current affairs by stat
ing what he believed should be done
TO demonstrate to the postoff1ce de-
partment. beyond the question of a
doubht, that the service between Ham
mond and the surrounding cities is in
adequate.
Dyer's idea is to have the business
men in all of the cities of the region
write on the envelopes of the letters
they send to the neighboring cities the
exact time is was mailed
The recipient of the letter is also ex-
pected to mark the time of the arrival
of all letters from the surrounding
cities so that the time consumed in
transit may be instantly known.
These envelopes may then be turned
over to the postoffice department and
will be conclusive evidence of the fact
that letters now require from "a to SO
hours to go from cities only a few
miles apart
Cheaper for Uncle Sam.
Mr.. Dyer stated that another feat
ure of the proposed improved service
that has not been brought out is the
fact that the government pays the rail-
roads a mileage rate for all of the mail
that is carried
Naturally the railroads would rather
carry a letter which is bound from
East Chicago to Hammond by way Of
Chicago for the reason that they would.
carry II forty miles than three
In that event it ought to be appar
ent to the department that a great saw
ing could be effected by having letters
sent direct. A great deal of mileage
would be saved and the government
would be the gamer as we'll as the
people of the Calumet district.

JERSEY AUTOISTS FIGHT
w BOULEVARD BILL,
Oppose States Paying Hall of
Proposed Shore Road.

Automobile clubs throughout the
State will unite in a publicity cam
paign in opposition to the clause in a
bill introduced in the Legislature by
Senator Oliver II. Brown, Of Monmouth,
ordering an appropriation OF 50 per
cent. of the total cost Of the proposed
ocean boulevard 20 be paid ont Of the
State treasury.
The proposed boulevard will BE- i25
miles in length, running from Atlantic
Highlands to Care May city. In the
past the state has appropriated only
25 per cent. Of the total cost OF roads
TO be built, and the automobile asso-
cations think This is enough for the
boulevard project.
The taking of an extra Is per cent. Of
the money raised by the from
automobile licenses will benefit only one
portion Of the State. The auto men
claim this is unfair to them, n they
claim the money should be given equal
ly 10 all sections.
Another bill, introduced by Senator
Brown to increase the annual automo-
bile license, is also opposed by the au-
tomobile associations. They claim there
IS a Joker in the bill in that it not only
