INJUNCTION
SUIT IS NOW
ON HEARING

The case in which the Hammond
Savings & Trust company seeks to en-
join Matthias Boney from interfering
with the workingmen who are engaged
in remodeling Boneys old place for
banking purposes is being heard in
the Lake superior court this morning.
A temporary restraining order was
further arguments todsy as to whether
the restraining order may be tempo
rarily continued.
1t is expected that the hearing today
will take considerable time. Later a
motion will be made to make the order
permanent and then, unless the case is
settled, the suit for damages will be
tried
1t is said that there is now talk of a
settlement. The terms of the settle
ment as proposed will make 1t neces-
sary for Boney to give up possession
now and drop all of the cases This
would be complete victory for the
Hammond Savings & Trust company.
1t is said that IN the event the case
Is not dropped by Mr.. Boney now the
suit for damages will be pressed 1t
is understood that there is a case ex-
ectly parallel to the one which has
been raised here in which the defendant
was compelled to pay heavy damages.
And the longer the case goes on the
greater are the damages.

gene Purtelle & Co, of Chicago, stock

proposed route that they have offered
to give warranty deed gratis to the
company if the company should ira
verse their territory. The franchise is
granted for term of fifty years, and
work must begin within eighteen
months, at beast. While the franchise
allows eighteen months in which to
begin the building, it is understood that
the building of the road is to begin
much sooner
The proposed interurban practically
parallels the Monon road through the
county. At Cedar Lake however. 1t
follows the east shore of the lake and
swings back to the Monon tracks again

HINTS OF
GRAFT MADE
Opinion Seems to Favor the
Red Lines Extension
Through Hump.

The franchise question was
thrashed out in the meeting Of the
Hammond Manufacturers association
at the Hotel Majestic last evening
and the concensus Of opinion was that
the Hammond, Whiting & East Chi
cago Electric Railway company
should, all things being equal, be
granted the extension through the
Gibson subway to East Chicago.
The manufacturers then started out
to demonstrate that all things are not
equal The fact was pointed out that
when the company made it's last bond
issue it promised to rehabilitate the
Hammond branch of its line. Mr..
Douglas told of the difficulty and de
lay that was experienced in getting
the company to build through to the
Standard Steel Car plant; Mr. Conkey
declared that the service provided by
ffe company Is abominable and that

the present mileage In Lake county. s'
The engineers of the Hammo ond com :
pany have been studying the proposed
extension from Hammond to Harvey
Tor some time. and report that it is
apparent that an interurban electric
railroad between these cities will ere
ate passenger travel not only on ac-
count Of the employees in the manufac-
turing plants in both cities. but also on
account of the fact that the large retail
business stores fthe city of Hammond
will attract large number of patrons
from the district to the west of Ham
mond. which will be served by the pro-
posed line
Mr.. Green states that the Hammond
company is able to make these large
extensions and additions to its proper
ty only on account of the fact that it
while the oles and Irish divide honors
electric railways which serve the en-
tire district south of the city of Chi
cago. If the Hammond property had
remained as a small individual proper
ty 1t could not as quickly or as easily
have raised the money necessary to
make the extensions, which amount to
about so per cent increase of its pres
ent track mileage in and about Lake

SPAFFORD'S REMAINS
ARE BROUGHT HOME
Young Man Killed Tuesday
at Evanston Will Be
Buried Friday.
FUNERAL FROM ST. PAUL S
Father Blames Construction Company
Under Whom Lad Worked
for Death
FUNERAL FROM ST. PAUL S

The body of Arthur J. Spafford, the
19-year-old son of MI and Mrs. Arthur
Spafford of 144 Doty street, who was
killed Tuesday afternoon at Evanston,
H., was brought to Hammond last even
ing for burial Friday afternoon. Serv-
ices will be held at st. Paurs Episcopal
church at 2 o'clock. and members of the
choir, OF which the deceased was him
self a member. will act as pall-bear-
ers
The body was accompanied to Ham
mond by the father, who by a strange
coincidence, was an eyewitness to the
accident.
Father BIames Company.
The father in speaking of the acct
dent today, did not hesitate to Law the
blame of the accident on the construc-
tion company which had in charge the
erection of the electric signal tower on
the Chicago g. Northwestern railroad,
where the accident occurred He is of
the opinion that the management
should have provided a proper working
platform on which the aerial construc-
tion work could have been carried on.
The accident to William Dunkel. an
other electrician, who was injured at
the same time. occurred at another
place, although the accident also took
place on the Chicago and Northwestern
in Evanston. Mr.. Spafford did not
know today how Dunkel was getting
along. 1t is known. however. that he
sustained injuries which may prove
fatal.
Mr.. Spafford had pictures made of the
electrical tower from which his son
fell and they will in all probability be
used as evidence when legal steps will
be taken against the construction COM
pany for the death of Arthur Sparord.

Game.

EsIs,s s 1T o1s i.
Marshall democrats of the north parth
Of the state have invited Governor Har-
mon of Ohio to come to Gary in short
time to deliver an address at banquet
of democrats. given by the democratic
may ors of northern Indiana cities, in
cluding T. E. Knots of Gary, Lawrence
Becker of Hammond. w. F. Spooner of
Valparaiso. F. w. Miller of Michigan
NJ Durgan of Lafayette. Whether
Governor Harmon will accept the in
vitation or not is not known, but there
are a good many who believe he will
not. because of the embarrassment
of course, Harmon is a presidential pos
sibility, just like Governor Marshall,
and it is pointed out that it would not
be gallant at all for him to come into
Marshalrs territory at this stage of the
game to make speech in his own be-
half. 1t has always been an unwrit-
ten law among candidates for nomina-
ton for president to stay out of each

Will Work Hard Against Him.
1t is well known that the mayors of
these northern Indians. cities do not
like Governor Marshall, and that they
will probably go any length to keep
him from getting solid delegation
from Indiana to the democratic national
convention Mayor Darrow and Mayor
Becker have come out in the open and
expressed their dislike for Marshall and
their purpose to fight him when the
time for making the nomination comes
around. 1t is known, too, that Mayor
Knots is "miffed' over Governor Mar
shall and attacked him in his paper
1t is not believed that Governor Har-
mon will dare to come into Indiana at
this time and make a speech at a
democratic banquet, especially when
the banquet is given by a bunch OF
democratic mayors who are sore" at
Governor Marshall, the possible com
petitor of Harmon for the presidential
nomination. To do so would cause a
big big ruction in the democratic
party in this state, but it is pointed out
that the division on Marshall in the
northern part of the state could not be
much greater than it is now.
