VAN HORNE
TO INTRODUCE
NEW BILLS

W. B. Van Horne, the representative
elect from Lake and Newton counties.
stated today that he will propose a
registration bill which will make IT
necessary for every voter to register.
Van Horne thinks that the state should
follow the lead >of Illinois and other
states in this great reform measure,
Van Horne is of the opinion that the
vote on an amendment to the constitu-
t1on should be put on a separate bal
lot. He believes that If this had been
done the amendment providing that
the legislature should stipulate the
requirements for admission to the bar
would have passed.
Van Horne will study the question
of the advisability of creating a sani-
tary district in Lake county. and if
he decides that 1t is feasible he will
advocate its creation.
van Horne will also favor the an
polntment Of an additional Judge of
the Lake superior court at Hammond.

GROWTH IS
AMAZING
Prediction Made That in
Five Years Lake County
Will Be Second in State
and in Ten Years It Will
: Be First. ;

The growth of Lake County has Civ
en- the people of the State of Indiana
something to think about. The popu-
lation is S2,S64 as compared with 81
S92 ten years ago. This is growth of
118 percent or a greater percent than
any other county in the state shows.
Marion county in which indianapolis
is located has larger addition to it's
population than Lake County, having
gained 66,434 in the ten years while
Lake County gained only 44,972 but
Lake County's percentage of growth is
far in excess of Marion county and of
any other county in the state of Indi-
ana.
The population Of Indiana as an
nounced yesterday evening is 2,700S76
as compared with 2,516,462 in 1900 This
is a growth of 1S4.414 or of 7.3 percent
In view of the fact that of the 1S4,414
people that the state of Indiana gained
in ten years 44.972 were gained in Lake
County it will be seen that rs per cent
of this growth took place in Lake
County.
This is a fact worth noting. Lake
County contributed 25 percent to the

TYPHOID
PATIENTS
PLENTIFUL

The number of typhoid fever patients
at ST Margaret's hospital at the pres
ent time indicates an unusual prevail
ency of the disease in the surrounding
cities. There are twenty patients in
the hospital. but of these the smallest
number is from Hammond None of
the cases are reported to be very Sc
rious.
There are at present about 12G pa

is about average number for the

other periods The big institution is

FRONTAGE
IS EAGERLY
SOUGHT

The sale of the Holman street front
age of the Central school property by
the board of education is the princi-
pal topic of conversation with the mon
eyed men of the city today.
A well-known Hammond man is
said to have declared that he has s50,-
900 that he will put into the property
providing he can get his friends to put
up the rest.
A NJ. Turner stated today that If he
is successful bidder he will favor the
widening of the sidewalk on the Hoh-
man stfsset~ frontage to fifteen feet In
his opinion this will make the prop-
erty a great deal more valuable
There is also considerable agitStion
on the part of the property owners on
Fayette street to have the city take
advantage of this opportunity to have
that street widened ten to twenty feet
Want Fayette Widened.
They claim that Fayette street is
destined to become one of the import
ant business streets of the city for
the reason that it is the first street
south of Sibley street that does not
cross the Nickel Plate railroad tracks
1t is already the most popular street
in the city for automobiles east bound
The Fayette street property own
point out that the school city has
222 feet of frontage on Holman street
and that If it gave ten feet or even
twenty feet for the widening of the
street the property would not be in
jured and the street would be wild
ened so to make it an important
business thoroughfare. This street
could be more easily widened than any
other, for the reason that there are
SO few permanent buildings on the
south side of the street and the lots
are deeper than is necessary.

CLUB TO Be
ORGANIZED
ALL OVER
Hammond Athletic Associa-
tion Nearing Crisis and
Popular Organization
Steers Close on the Shoals:
Meeting Held Tomorrow.

Re organization and rejuvenation of
the Hammond Athletic club is prom
ised at a big meeting which is to be
held tomorrow evening. Notices have
been sent out for the special meeting.
BY far the best news that accom-
panies the notices, although this is not
in print, is the fact that George Miller,
former athletic star of wabash college,
is to take charge as physical director.
Under his supervision regular classes
will be organized and so arranged as
to accommodate all the members of
the organization. The spirit of indoor
baseball and basket ball is also a big
factor which will tend to draw the
members closer together. There is
material in the club for star teams
and this will be put to the front imme-
diately.
The Hammond Athletic association is
nearing a crisis, which needs strong
and loyal hands to stay the process
of disintegration that has been no.
ticeable during the past few months.
The responsibilities that will rest on
the leaders for the reorganization are
optimistic. They figure that the club
has found its bearings in the past year
and that the organizations future
course can be shaped accordingly.
The notices that have been sent out
are urgent and insistent that every
member whether he is in arrears with
his dues or not attend and bring a
prospective member with him tomor-
row evening

ALARMS HOTEL GUESTS

early this morning when one OF the
bellboys, greatly excited, ran through
the upper hall, calling loudly for the
dav clerk TO investigate what ap-
peared 10 be case Of suicide in
room 315.
The boy explained that the man who
had engaged the room the night be-
fore had left word to be called at an
early hour this morning. At the
proper time the call was made by tele-
phone, but without response. Upon be-
ing sent to the room the bellboy
peeped in the keyhole and imagined
that he smelt gas.
When the clerk in charge rushed up
to the room and tried the door he
found it unlocked and entering discov-
cred that although the bed had been
slept in its occupant had departed.
There was no gas in the room.
O. G. Williams, a well known busi-
nessman Of Reno, New, was the man
who had taken the room. II was later
learned that he had to leave on an
early train and did not wait for the

Flying Match

OAKLAND, June 21.-A parlor match
was the cause of an accident at the
works of the Oakland gas, light and
heat company today that would have
resulted seriously but for the courage
and quickness of w. S. Smith, meter
repairer.
AS Smith stepped on the head of the
match it ignited and flew into the air
toward a can of gasoline. Smith made
a dash for the can and seized it just
as the match exploded the gasoline.
He was badly burned and dropped the
can, although he did not give up his
effort to save the place from burning,
but kicked the can out of the building
although it was full of flames.
His clothes were set afre, but he did
not give up until the blazing can was
in the yard. where it could do no
further harm. Then he thought of
himself and by rolling about and wrap
ping himself in sacks he managed to
extinguish the flames that were con-
suming his clothes. He then went to
the receiving hospital
There it was found that his right
leg was badly burned and that he had
suffered minor burns in different parts
of the body. While his wounds are
painful they are not considered danger
