A thrilling rescue about five miles
out from Lake Front Park in Ham

with the waves when their boat drifted
out five miles in the gathering darkness.

tana. The latter are on their honey
moon and are friends of the Evers.

PLAYING sHUTTLECOCK
WITH The FRANCHISE
Continuance In the Gary &
Southern Injunction Suit
Is Granted Again.
Especial to THE TIMEs.) }

Crown Point. Ind. July 1.-THE city
of Gary won its game of delay in the
injunction proceedings instituted by the
Gary & Southern railroad by which the
railroad hoped to have the city enjoined
from interfering with the construction
of the line between Gary and Crown
Point
After hearing arguments in the Lake
circuft court, which lasted all Satur-
day afternoon. Special Judge Herbert S.
Barr granted a continuance until
Thursday afternoon of this week to
give the attorneys for the city a chance
to work up their case.
It is rumored that Mayor Thomas E.
Knots secured a continuance so that
he could take the franchise matter
up before the common council of the
city of Gary and secure the passage
of a franchise which he desired to see
passed.
There is a meeting of the city
council tonight, and in the light of
these rumors it will be interesting to
watch the next move of the city ad-
ministration in this matter.

Gil should meet a committee of the

asking that the picnic will be held in
Hammond this year

BEREzn|AK
WILL FIGHT
THE CHARGE

Leon A Berezniak stated to TINES
reporter today that the trouble in
which he has become involved in Chi
cago was brought about by a grudge
which a defendant in a damage suit
has against him.
\ He says that he secured a judgment
for $4,000 against this defendant. and
he afterwards made complaint that he
was practicing in Chicago without a
license. He says the case will come up
on Wednesday and he will be there to
defend himself.
Berezniak says that he has been ad-
mitted to the Lake county bar and he
denies that the grievance committee of
the bar association has decided to in
vestigate the Chicago charge. How
ever. member of this committed stat
ed positively that the Chicago matter
would be watched and that the COM
mittee would take cognizance of the
result.

Ed WICKES
POINTS OUT
DANGER

The tackknife gate on Holman
street to guard south bound traffic
across the maze of tracks is a danger
ito the public, according to Ed. wickes
the night gateman. Ed. feels that he
would sooner lose his job for making
a roar than to see somebody loose
his life or limb, because of the defec-
tive gate. The mechanism is not In
perfect working order and as a result
the gate cannot be completely lowered
AS result of this somebody will be
mislead and drive in front of a train,
is the opinion of Mr.. Wickes. He says
that a driver had a very narrow es-
cape last week because of the defective
gate.

OFF IC|AL-
WILL CONE:
TO MEETING
81. Huber, Head of Railway
Mail Service, To Attend
Gathering Which Is To Be
of Greatest Importance to
Cities of Calumet Region.

]. c. Huber, the chief of the railway
mail service, has written to Postmaster
VIM. H. Gostlin of Hammond that he
will be in the city next Thursday to
attend the meeting at which the mat
ter of providing an inter-city mail
service will be taken up.
lGostlin has also heard from Post
master A. G. Lundquist of Indiana
Harbor. who says that he will pre-
present at the meeting and will urge
the establishment of this service.
So great is the interest that is being
taken in this question that it is appar-
ent that the meeting of the Hammond
Business Mems association will be very
largely attended.
Postmaster Gostlin stated today:
"The postoff1ce department moves slow
ly in these matters. About a year ago
1 made the recommendation that the
village of West Hammond be given
free delivery service.
IAN inspector was sent to look the
situation over. He found that there
were no sidewalks in the village to be
served. and he refused to recommend
the establishing of a free delivery ser
vice. 1t is necessary to have sidewalks
over the city and to have the houses
numbered before the postofffce depart
ment will inaugurate a free deliv-
cry service.
Mr. Gostlin said he believed there
was a good chance to have the interur-
ban mail service installed providing
the interurbans did not ask too much
for carrying the mail

NJ 'C0RMICK RAISES
A new QUESTION
Wants To Know Who Shall
Pay For the Inter
Sewers.

President r. r. Mccormick of the
Chicago drainage district raises the
question to who shall pay for the
intercepting sewers that will be en-
ptied into the sag canal after it has
been built
In communication to the board he
stated:
My advice for the board of trustees
to proceed forthwith 10 the construc-
tion of the canal as approved by the
chief of engineers of the United States
army and the secretary of war. For,
while it is essential to spend any
amount of money that is necessary for
sanitary purposes it would be criminal
for the board of trustees of the sani-
tary district to spend unnecessary mill
lions on this project in order to divest
itself of the power to carry on certain
other public works, the profits of which
are sought for by certain individuals
and corporations. This canal meets all
requirements of drainage and SANTA
tion.
"Contemporaneously with the con-
struction of this canal must be con-
structed intercepting sewers to conduct
all the sewage south of Eighty-seventh
street. to this channel. 1t is for your
honorable body to decide whether these
sewers shall be paid for out of the
general fund of the district or by spe-
cial assessment, whether said assess
ment shall be raised by the sanitary
district of by the board of local i'm
provements of the city of Chicago.
Whatever policy is adopted in the
Calumet district must be adopted for
other parts of the district whenever
main trunk sewers must be built to
the drainage canal. This is particular
ly true of the north shore towns, where
the completion of the north shore chan
mel attracts attention to the desira-
bility of immediately beginning work.
