from them
MUST MOVE QUICKLY.
A stock salesman will come into the
territory today and an effort will be
made to sell enough of the stock and
bonds to insure the building of the
line.
The fact is generally appreciated
that if PurteIle is able to build his line
to Crown Point before the Gary line is
built that the Seaman project will fall
through. 1t is generally conceded that
there is not business enough for two
lines between Crown Point and the
Calumet district and the first line to
be built will get the business.
Over in Gary there is a fight on be-
tween the Gary and Interurban line and
the Seaman line and this will probably
hold up this project indefinitely. Pur-
telle sees in this situation his oppor-
tunity and he is ANXIOUS to make the
most of Ii.

z. F. Johnston. secretary of the
Hammond Business Mems association
stated today that the next meeting of
the association will be held on Sept. T.
He says that he has not yet taken
up the matter of providing a pro-
gram, but he thought it possible that
the winters activity. would be started
with a big banquet.
A good speaker will be secured and
in this manner the interest in the work
of the year will be aroused. The as
sociation has not had a banquet since
the famous Get together and bury the
hatchetr banquet, and 1t is about time
that another was held, according to
Mr.. Johnston.

DIRTY THIEVES
PUZZLE POLICE

If cleanliness is next to godliness.
is it a crime to steal a towel and a
cake of soap?
That is'the question that is agitat-

into the office of the Calumet Hay
company and after ransacking the Of

That is all they were able to find

bETz FAILS
To TALK To
THE KING
II a m mond Manufacturer
Sees the King and Queen
of Spain in Madrid, But
Turns Them Both Down;
Situation Is Serious.

Il met the king and queen of Spain
on the streets of Madrid today, but did
not have time to stop and talk with
them," writes F. S. Betz to The TINES
today
This situation presents some serious
aspects. Formerly Madrid and Ham
mond were friendly terms. The
king of Spain realizes that he has as
many subjects in Gary, Indiana Harbor
and Hammond as he has in some of the
villages in his kingdom, and naturally
he has felt friendly toward these cities
in the states.
However. when the Calumet region
sent F. S. Betz as it's envoy extra
ordinary. minister plenipotentiary to
Madrid the king rather expected that
Betz would at least do him the favor
of speaking to him on the street
Instead Betz just raced past the king
without ever saying ''Howdy." Good
morning old top" or"How's tricks. =
There is no question that the king was
chagrined, not to say hurt The queen
was simply outraged.
King eFlt Hurt.
There goes Betz," the king is re-
ported to have said, "he makes surgical
instruments down in Hammond, Ind
Now what do you think of that he has
gone by without even saying good
morning. Those Americans are
all around the continent as though
they only had an hour to live and they
wanted to make million dollars in the
next thirty minutes"
And the relations between Ham
mond and Madrid may be said to be
badly strained Betz slight was, OF
couse. unintentional, yand it is likely
that as soon as he gets back to Ham
mond and begins to realize how badly
the king feels about the matter that
he will have A. Murray Turner, who is
known to be something of a diplomat

PIERRE, s. D., Sept SO-(Special) i'm the
