SENATOR ALBERT j. BEvER1DGE.

ed up THE TINES office and declared
that young lady was making the
rounds with a very natty aluminium
cooking utensil proposition, that sound
ed beautiful the young lady un-
folded it. The reporter who answered
the Tomewood lady, after being in
formed that 1t was necessary to make a
cash payment down before the delivery
of the goods, advised her to either noti-
fy the police or set the dog on the
young woman.
1t develops that young man ac-
companied the young woman, and that
a large number of Homewood ladies
fell victims to the wiles of the due.
The amonts collected ranged all the
way from 25 cents to 50, and a neat
little sum was cleaned up No cooking
utensils have arrived, however, and
there is little hope of any. The couple
have fed to greener fields and the
Homewood ladies are patiently waiting
until the next suave canvasser comes
along to collect in advance.
This is only one of the many times
that Hammond ladies have been victim
lied.
Ii vii probably not be the last. They
like to be gulled by strangers, and
their husbands can have as much fun as
they desire.

PETITIONS
NOW BEING
CIRCULATED

The work of circulating the remon-
STRANGE against the annexation of Ham
mond to East Chicago began today 1t
has been learned that the purpose of
the mayors appropriation for the TAX
ing of census was for no other rea-
son than to discover what were the
sentiments of the people of Hammond
regarding annexation.
In this he did not take the people
of Hammond into his confidence as to
the real purpose Of taking this enumer-
alton. The alleged census takers did
not take an actual census, but simply
ascertained how many legal voters
there are in the city, and discovered
as nearly as possible how many OF
them were in favor of opposed to an
nexation.
The report that the census was to be
check on the federal census is ridicu-
1ous on the fact of it. When the re-
monstrance is signed the mayor viii
not be able to tell when he has two
thirds of the legal voters.

OTTO RAbE
WILL Retain
THE OFFICE
Ruling by Postmaster Gen
eral That ALI Assistant
Postmaster in First and
Second Glass Offices Be
Put in Classified List.

Although there has been no official
notification to that eeffct received at
the Hammond postoffice, it is under
stood that President William H. Taft
has ordered all assistant postmasters in
Offices of the first and second-cla
be placed in the civil service list
This would affect the Hammond Of
flee in view of the fact that the term of
Postmaster William H. Gostlin will ex-
pire the 1st of January of next year.
and Otto Rabe would hold over under
the postrt1astership of his SUCCESSOR.
This is in line with the policy OF the
,postoffse. dspartment and @ of the Rresi-
dent to place as many of the employees
in the postal service under civil serv-
ice as possible
While 1t is generally understood that
F.. Richard Schaaf is to be the next
postmaster of Hammond. it is not
known what his intentions were re-
garding the appointment of an assist
ant.
Ruling of Interest.
So far as is known Otto Rabe would
have been satisfactory to him and the
fact is generally appreciated that Rabe
has been most efficient appointee
yet changes have frequently been made
in this appointment by the incoming
postmaster and ruling of this kind
is of interest.
Mr.. Rabe said today: I'VE have re-
ceived no official notice of such rul-
ing. / have heard that the postmaster
at the Huntington office had received
such a notice. / have not given the
matter OF my reappointment very much
thought If my work has been salts
factory and Mr.. Schaaf should make III
his mind to retain me l would probabl,
accept the appointment.
However, if the next postmastei
should want TO make a change I an

the foot while stepping from a boat on
the Little Calumet at Black Oak. Three

The boat was within a few feet of the
shore and Und.ne was about to leave it.
He stood to pick up his gun and did
not notice that 1t was cooked He is
unable to tell in detail just how the
accident happened.
The injured was removed to the resi-
dence of Henry Nimetz where first aid
was given him. He was later removed
to his home at Ross and DR. Iddings OF

attention.

NEW WAY
HAS BEEN
LEARNED
New Bridge Proposed for
Holman Street Is to Be
Sixty Feet Wide and Will
Stand as Model for Gen
eratio1ls to Come.

A way has been found to build the
Holman street hrldge-according to the.
original specifications and still keep
within the reduced appropriation of
$4,000. which has Been made by the
county council
1t has been erronously reported that
the new bridge is to be only 40 feet
wide. County Commissioner Schaaf
said this morning that the bridge is to
be so feet wide and the error probably
arose over the fact that the roadway
is to be 40 feet.
Wide Street.
This will make the new bridge as
wide as Holman street and will meet
the requirements for years Ito come.
The structural steel that goes into the
bridge will not be weakened as a result
of the reduced appropriation, but one
of the abutments, the one on the blind
side of the bridge, will not be put in
until the government requires the coun-
ty to build the other half of the struc-
ture.
In this way the bridge will be built
according to the ola specifications in all
of the essentials and the unessentials
will be eliminated until the require
| ments of navigation make them neces-
sary.
Credit for securing the appropriation
should go to County Commissioner r.
Schaaf, Sr, although the project for
| the building of the bridge originated
with County Commissioner Oscar Krin-
| bill.
/ Credit should also be given to Mayor
Becker. his board of public works and
| John Kane of Hammond, all of whom
| appeared before the county councilmen
and made arguments for the bridge
It is said that the county councilmer
were far from being in a mood to make
a biz appropriation
Mayor Given Credit.
Sehaaf saw that the situation did not
! look very promising, and he at once
notified the mayor to come to Crown
Point and help him to present the mat
/ ter to the commissioners. The mayor
and his board of public works took the
next train to the county seat and tn.
result was that the day saved, al
though the appropriation was shaved
by $4,000.
The appropriation of $4,000 will
make it possible for the work of put
4 ting in the -abutments to begin thi
spring and to be completed before fall

Indianapolis, Ind, April 4.-Inter-
est today centers in the arrangements
which are being made for the Repub-
ican state convention will be held in
this city tomorrow. This is the
first time in many years that a state
convention of either party has oc-
cupied but one day, but the leaders Of
the party this year decided that two
days session was not necessary.
They believed that all of the busi-
ness of the convention could be as
well done in one day as in two, and
that many Republicans from over the
state would be more willing to spend
one day here than more. This, it was
believed, would increase the attend
ance and give the Republicans from
all corners of the state an opportuni-
