WIDTH OF
BRIDGE.
IMlQ0TAMT

The TIMES story which raised the
question of the amount the Hammond.
Whiting & East Chicago company will
pay for the building of new bascule
bridge at Holman street and the river,
has caused great deal of interest in
the matter
question of equal Importance is
that regarding the width of the bridge.
The property owners on Holman street
are very anxious that the bridge be
built wide enough to meet the demands
of traffic for at least, the life of the
bridge.
In view of the fact that Holman
street is the most important north and
south thorough fare in the city, the
opinion is expressed on all sides that
the bridge should be as wide as tht
street so that there can be a wagon
on each side of a double set of street
car tracks.
1t remains for the city to see what
can ise done toward making the street
car company pay proportionate share
of the cost of building this bridge The
bridge question is one that must be set
tied in the near future, in the opinion of
those who are giving the matter any
thought and 1T Is hoped that this bridge
can be made a model for other wagon
bridges in the city

CRUMPACKER TRYING TO GET
A LINE ON HIGH PRICES

Washintong, jan 19.-Representative
Crumpacker of Indiana, chairman of the
census committee. Monday started a
national inquiry that may solve the
problem of the cause of the increased
prices of meats. 1t provides for far
reaching investigation through the
agencies that will be employed in TAX
ing the census this year
Mr.. Crumpacker issued a call for a
meeting of his committee yesterday
forenoon. when his plan for an inves-
tigatfon of meat prices probably VIII

Mr.. Crumpacker offered as an amend
ment to the law providing for the TAX
ing of the thirteenth decennial census
this year a provision instructing the
enumerators to take a census of all the
meat animals slaughtered for food
throughout the country during tht CAL
endar year 1909. In gathering these
statistics the enumerators are call on
not only the farmers who have killed
animals for home consumption, but the
large packing establishments and also
on every butcher shop in the country.

The investigation will show how large

MEN
HOLD GOOD
MEETING

The members of the University club
of Hammond held a very enthusiastic
meeting in the club rooms last even
ing. The club is now looking forward
to the occupation of the new quarters
in the Taper block, on about the 1st
of April.
The space that has been leased to the
members has been partitioned off. and
those who have looked over the plans
of the new quarters are surprised and
delighted at the many conveniences
and advantages of the new quarters.
Plans for raising the money neces-
sary for the furnishing of the quarters
were adopted The committee. which
was appointed to revise the constitution
and bylaws. made its report and an
other meeting will be held in two weeks
when the new constitution will he
adopted.
The necessity for the revision of the
constitution arises from the fact that
the new quarters will make the organ
ization much more complex. The mem,
bers are pleased at the early prosnect
of getting into the new quarters after
the long and frequent delays attendant
to the construction of the building. and
it is expected that the club will take on
new activities as soon as the new quar-
tiers are occupied.

slaughtered and controlled by the big
packrs. incidentally it will throw
food of light on the problem of what
has caused hides to go up price Con-
gress in revising the tariff took the
duty off on hides. Although hides are
now free, and Notwithstanding 100000
more hides have been imported during
the last three months than were i'm
ported during the same period of the
previous year, the price of hides con-
tinues to go up.
The Crumpacker investigation will
make clear some interesting points of
doubt as to what forces every house
wife in the land to pay more for the
meat that goes on the table than she
paid formerly. For example, if the
census shows that food animals have
Increased in number whit the prices
have been increasing it will be fair
inference that a combination is at work
forcing up prices.
One theory for the increase of the
price of hides is that the big packers
buy up the major supply and hold it
until they get practically the prices
they want. The investigation is ex-
pected to develop whether or not the
packers are in such combine to force
up the price of hides.

Governor Thomas f. Marshall, who
has formally accepted the invitation to
be present at the annual banquet of
the st. Andrews sciety of Gary, has
announced that the subject of his adj
dress on that occasion will be his at
titude towards Gary. This has aroused
great interest in the city in the light
of his recent statement that he wished
Gary would slide off into the lake.
a remark that he inadvertently made at
time when Gary was rife with a null
titude of political turmoils
The governor will arrive in this city
at 40 over the Pennsylvania railroad
accompanied by his wife. He will be
met at the station by the reception
committee of the society, composed of
J. Caldwell Smith. chairman; William
MacNeill, C1ayde Hunter, Arthur earn
duff. w. J. Fulton, Rev. F. e. Walton.
The program. which has been ar
ranged by Scots for the states chief
executive, is most strenuous one and
every minute of his time will be taken
up with diversified program. After
the dinner at the home of Rev. Walton,
Governor Marshall will be driven about
the city and the places Of interest, such
as the Emerson school, the city hall,

The JUDGE SAID, IT
IS A GOOD PAPER

That THE TIMES has strong sup
porter in the person of Justice of the
Peace Gerber of Hobart, is evinced by
amusing argument which was
brought out in the trial of the case of
the Square Realty company vs. l. Run
yam at Hobart. by two certain Gary
lawyers, namely, Attorneys Louis I.
Gott1ieb and Henry c. Price.
That evidence is almost as unre-
liable as THE TINES said Attorney

due time the Crete-Momence line will
be extended down to st. Anne, and
thence to Lafayette, making continu-
Gus trolley service from Chicago to

GOOD FIELDS FOR LINES.
That the company have entered good
fields Is certain. Traffic on a line be-
tween Chicago Heights and Hammond
would be extensive. Not only from the
intervening towns, but from through
pass engers-those seeking facilities to
get to the industrial centers in the
northern part of Indiana-Gary, Indi-

At the present time it Is necessary for
one to go to Chicago from this Sec
tion to reach these Industrial centers

benefit to persons desiring connection
between Joliet and the Indiana towns,

Local real estate dealers do not know \
OF the sale of lots under the waters of I

delivered before the house on the sub
ject of land grabbers.' AS to the iden-
tity of the men who are making a sub
urban subdivision out of the haunts
of the fishes. Mr.. Wilson is not positive,
but he asserts that the best informa-
ton he has been able to secure indi-
Gates that the Knickerbocker Ice com
pany is behind the venture.
High Degree Of Utility.
Just think of it. said Mr. Wilson.
the company gets a crop of ice off the
top of the lake. it digs up mud from
the bottom of the lake to fill in SUBJ
merged shore land. then some one runs
a railroad across the middle of the
lake. and finally some one plats the lake
adm sells the bottom for building lots.
That's as bad as skimming milk on both
sides

Not Result of Strike.

The affdavits which were made out
yesterday against a number of for
eigners at the Standard district. and
of which THE TIMES made mention last
night, were not the result OF the
strike. THE TIMES was misinformed in
this matter.
The cases grew out of an assault and
battery case, in which Viktr Kohn's
wife became involved with a number of
people. The affidavits are said to have
ben sworn out for the purpose of re-
venge
