THE GANGS cLovEN HooF.


There We're some proceedings in the
city council Friday night which will
expunged from the official record and
which are interesting to the public
perhaps more so because they were
expunged from the Official record and
also because they have a bearing
upon the fight that is being made for
d cleaner Cairo,
A cont aoversy arose over the appli-
cation Of Bendig & Rilying who have
been conducting a saloon at 20G Com
mercial avenue. for a transfer of their
license to No g04 It was one of q
number of applications Of this kind
among them being one from w, r,
Webster who asked that his license
be transferred from his present loca-
tiOn on Ohio street to 206 CONNER
cial, the place now occupied by Ben
dig a Rilying. When the iatter's pc
tition WIS read Alderman Meehan
asked that it be laid aside for sepa-
rate action and was joined in the re.
quest By Alderman Magner. When
later the Bendig & Rilying petition
came up for action Alderman Meehan
said there were conditions in this
case which ought to be investigated.
IT seem III that there were differences
between this firm and the owners Of
the building. which ought to be set

II would be highly improper for the
council to lend itself in any way to
an attempt by Bendig < Ruying to
impose upon anybody He moved
therefore that action on this petition
be deferred to the next regular meet

motion.
Alderman Burke protested, saying
that the city council had no right to

settled between the parties concerned
The mayor cut short debate under
the rules, and the matter was laid
over. Under the action thus taken

LAST OF BOWLING
SERIES TONIGHT
Simplex and III. A. A. Teams
Will Have It Out for
City Championship.

The last series of bowling contests
in the Hammond Bowling League
tournament will be played on Cox's
alleys tomorrow night unless a tie
should result. 1t is probable that there
may be tie between the teams con-
testing for second place, but it is either
the Simplex or III. A. A. team for first
prize.
NO tie can result in the contest be-
tween the H. A. A and Simplex teams
Tor first prize, as the FL. A. A. team
VIII have to win all three games in or
der to cop first prize, and the Simplex
are only required to take one game out
OF the three in order to win first prize.
"A large crowd is expected to witness
the contest between the Homewood and
Lion store teams and H. A. A and
Simplex fives at Cox's place tomorrow
night The tournament has been a
great success, and the bowlers of Ham,
mond are looking forward to another
tournament, which will probably be ar
ranged after the close of the present
one.
Following are a list of prizes to be
given to the winners of first. second
and third places in the bowling tourna-
ment, also team rolling, ,the highest
score and individual bowling the high

NEW FLAT
BUILDING
At HARbOR
Especial to THE T1MEs.)


Indiana Harbor. April 26.-While
various cities throughout the Calumet
region are rejoicing in the erection of
fine new fiat buildings, it is not to be
expected that Indiana Harbor will re-
main long in the background.
Next week will be begun the erec-
ton of handsome three story struc-
ture at the corner of One Hundred and
Thirty-fith and Hem1ock streets, the
building to cost $4,000. and to con-
tain twelve elegantly finish apartments.
The building is being put up by Carl
Anderson, the local contractor and Gus
Johnson. a mill man from East Chi
cago, employed by the Republic Iron
and Steel company. Mr.. Anderson will
attend to the construction of the build
ing, this being right in his line, and
work will be rushed as fast as com
ptaible with thoroughly workmanlike
job.
The dimensions of the structure will
be so by 1o3 feet. The material used
will be pressed brick with stone trim
mings and the flats are each TO con-
tain six rooms and bath. The building
will be steam heated and will have
janitor service, hot and cold water, gas
ranges. window shades, gas and cleo
trio chandeliers, sideboards, and such
ike modern conveniences. There will
be two entrances, one on Hemlock and
the other on One Hundred and Thirty
fifth street. Flats will rent at from
S35 to $40 a month

Not only is the Gary man to attempt
to secure the nomination according to
his own declaration last night. but he
also stated that he had $4,000. in the
bank which would be at his disposal
for political purposes to secure his
nomination when the proper time came.

Eugene Brokaw is still in jail await

fusion he made to the Chicago police
officers. When Brokaw was promised

Der 1t was presumed that he would tell
the truth.
But the Chicago authorities were not
going TO release him on the uresump-
ton that he had told the truth They
hrst determined to investigate for
themselves
They are now carrying on this inves-
tigatlon That is why the Chicago pa
pers have said nothing about the con-
vlction of Brokaw and his confession.
AS soon as the leader of the gang is
arrested and the detectives get some
thing of a line on the movements of the

ERIC LUND
WAS The
Low Man

Eric Lund was the low man when the
bids on Peter W. Meyns new resi-
dence-were opened last night How
ever, it is understood that the bids
were all SO much higher than was ex-
pected that Mr.. Meyn decided not to let
the contract until he had a confer
ence with the bidders to see what could
be done toward reducing the amount.
Mr. Meyn is experiencing the same
difficulty that other prospective build
ers have experienced. They find the
cost of materials and labor are so high
that it is out of the question for them
to go ahead with their proposed work
This is resulting in the tsunting of
the growth of the region at a time
when it was expected to be the most
rapid. Scores of people in Hammond
would begin building operations were
1t not for the fact that after they have
had their plans made they find the
cost so great as to be prohibitive.

The route selected is from Chicago

two extra demountable rims. One of

one and initiate the tire. At the fin

WORK ON BOULEVARD
COMPLETE BY JULY |
Much Depends Upon Att
tude of Street Railway
Co., However.

Charles Davidson was in Hammond
today and stated that in his opinion
the Improvement of Indiana boulevard
will be completed by July l. A great
deal depends upon the Hammond, Whit
ing & East Chicago Electric Railway
Co, which is compelled to do part of
the work. If this company puts on more
men and rushes the work it NAV he
completed sooner.
Davidson says that it will not take
him more tina thirty days to do his
part of the work. Not until this street
is completed will 1T again be com
pletely opened to traffic
The necessity of having more than
one-north and south and east and west
highway, connecting the cities of
Hammond, Whiting. East Chicago and
Indiana Harbor with South Chicago is
shown by the Inconvenience that the
general public have had during the
Improvement of this street
