ERIE WILL NOT RUN
ELECTRIC CARS HERE
Hammond Business Mems
Assn. Is Still Looking
For Relief, However.

A NJ De Weese, the agent of the
Erie railroad in Hammond has inform
ed z. F. Johnston of the Hammond Bus
mess Mems Association that his COM
pany will not install the gasoline elect
ric cars which 1t was hoped would i'm
prove the passenger service between
Hammond and Crown Point
The railroad company claims that
while the cars are used down east, that
they get out of repair easily and that
they are not entirely practical.
However a measure of relief for
those who are compelled to spend the
day in Crown Point, 1t is suggested that
the Wells Fargo express which leaves
Crown Point about seven o'clock in the
evening and arrives in Hammond
shortly before eight might be stopped
at the county seat for the benefit of
passengers.

SMELLS DISGUST
PEOPLE NOWADAYS
Globe Refining Co. and West
Hammond Stink Facto-
ries Are Active.

Secretary E. Il. Johnston ofthe Ham
mond Business Mems Association has
again taken up the matter of smells
and their elimination He had a con-
ference with the officials of the Globe
Rendering Co. at Globe Sta. and was
there informed that the company is
still at work gathering all the little
smells together and running them
through the furnace.
Johnston was informed that in a
few more weeks the smell obviators
ought to beworking in such good shape
that not a disagreeable whiff of air
will come from the Globe Station plant.
But incidentally the Globe Render
ing Co., wanted the fact known that 1t
is not responsible for every smell that
emnnates from the state of Illinois.
1t is said that there is concern in
West Hammond that renders dead hogs
and that this concern is responsible
for some of the obnoxious odors that
come from the westward.
The officials of the Globe Rendering
Co refused to mention the name of the
other offending company, but just
wanted the fact known that 1t is not
responsible for every bad smell that
comes from West Hammond.
In justice to this company the fact
should be stated that the Hirsh Stein
Co. and the Hammond Glue Works are
both responsible for the bad odors that
float over Hammond when the wind is
from that direction.
Whether or not there is a hog rem
dering plant somewhere in the bushes
of West Hammond is not known, but
Secretary Johnston has promised to
investigate and the chances are that
other concerns besides the Globe Rem
dering Co. will be called upon the green
carpet and asked to explain the origin
OF certain pungent odors.

MOST OF CREDITORS
ACCEPT ARRANGEMENTS

George NJ Eder. to whom an assign
ment of the Kolb stock of drugs was
made, stated this morning that all but
two of the creditors had agreed to ac-
cept the payment of so cents on the
dollar
1t is expected that the others will
come in within few days and that a
satisfactory settlement can be made
with them. This will be far better
than to have Kolb go through bank
ruptcy.
There have been a number of in
quiries regarding the sale of the store,
and it is expected that there will be at
least four bidders when it comes to
selling out.
In the meantime the store is being
run by Mr. KoIbs sons and will be
kept open until the sale of the goods is
made. Kolb has great many friends
in Hammond who are exceedingly sor-
ry that he has found it necessary to
quit business here.

to be willing to put money into an ice
plant. enough money could be raised to
make the undertaking a success. While
the statement is not authoritative 1t Is
understood that negotiations are pend
ing between the association and Otto
Haehnel who has a private supply of
ice, to buy all in his storage and sup
ply the saloonkeepers with 1t.
Jacob Friedman the city sealer has
been asked by a TIMES reporter why he
does not institute prosecutions against
the ice companies for short weight.
Friedman who is himself a asloon-
keeper answered that he was deferred
in this by requests of his friends, who
feared that a prosecution would simply
mean that the customers supply would
be cut off for all time as a result.
IDEA NOT A NEW ONE.
The idea and the talk of an Ice plant
owned and operated by the saloon
keepeds' association is not new, II was
raised two years ago when the trust
raised its prices, but nothing ever came
of Il. Two years ago the saloonkeepers
paid seventeen and a half cents for 4
hundred pounds of ice. Today they are
compelled to pay thirty cents or nearly
twice as much They insist that there
appears to be gentlemen's agreement
between the Knickerbocker Ice com
pany and the Hammond Pure Ice COM
pany to maintain uniform scale, and
not to take each others customers.
The Hammond Saloonkeepers' Asso-
citation is not worrying about the well
fare of the saloon who are not in the
organization It's mem bers say that the
organization was formed with the idea
nj o. Io vof -
ter of mutual protection. and that on
the Ice question they are going to solve
1T for members of the association ami
not Tor the sa1oonk ee pers who have
found 1t unnecessary TO affiliate them
selves with the organization.

DR.. RUNS INTO DEBRIS
WITH MACHINE
Professional Man Claims
Pile Had no Warning
Light.

DR.. George E. Miller is shaking hands
with himself this morning after having
escaped what he thought might have
been serious automobile accident last
night.
Miller was answering call in his
automobile, and after turning the cor
ner. on Soh1 street he ran into a large
pile of crushed stone and mortar box
The sudden jar threw him on the steer
ing wheel and he escaped with only
having the wind knocked out of him.
Owing to the low speed he was driv-
ing after he had turned the corner no
damage was done to the except a
slight bend in the front axle.
The crushed stone did not have a
light on 1t and / did not see the stone
until I was on top of it," said Miller
this morning. "On top of the stone a
large mortar box had been left where
they have started to build a house

worse"

SALO0NMEN THROW
down THE GAUNTLET
Ice Trust to be Bucked to a Frazzle by
Saloonkeepers Association Which will
No Longer Tolerate Gouge Instituted
By Ice Companies.

The Hammond Saloonkeepers' As
sociation, composed of one hundred
and two of the one hundred and sixty
five. saloonkeepers in the city will no
loner wear the collar of the ice trust.
and at meeting of the executive
committee of the association schedul-
ed for this afternoon, ways and means
were to be discussed to throw off the
burdensome yoke whose weight has
practically been doubled in the past
three years.
The association to a man stands
ready to throw the gauntlet into the
face OF the trust, which annually
screws up the price on a commodity
which practically costs it nothing.
and upon the smallest excuse refuses
to accommodate the very public which
tolerates its existence.
The association has two means OF
escape from the frigid clutches of the
trust. the first by buying up the entire
Ice supply of an independent Ice dealer,
or in the event this fails, to raise the
necessary funds to build an ice plant OF
its own. The feeling among the sa-
loonkeepers today as result of the
trusts most recent advance in price. its
policy of short weight. and its petty
prosecutions, was such as to fairly
bTistle with determination and 1t will
be Interesting to watch the outcome.

MICHIGAN CENTRAL
MAY WITHDRAW
New Rumor Regarding N. Y.
G.. Lines Heard in Rail
road Circles.

That the Michigan Central Railroad
Company is about to sever its relations
with the New York Central combination
and return to its former system of or
ganization, practically independent of
the New York Central. is being rumored
In railroad circles.
1t Is said that H. B. Leyard. for many
years head of the Michigan Central.
but now chairman of the board, will be
returned to the presidency, succeeding
William H. Brown, now president of all
the New York Central lines.
The Michigan Central it is said, also
will have Its own traffic organizations,
both in the freight and passenger de-
partments. and IN every way will be on
an independent working basis, although
to some extent interests which control
all the New York Central lines will
have some influences over the Michigan
road.
Not Enough Traffic.
Tho reason for this probable break in
the New York Central combination, I.
is said. is that the Michigan Central Is
not getting its share of the business. 1t
Is reported that under the management
Of the New York Central lines the
Michigan Central is compelled to turn
all It's TO the rev L Ork central
while, on the other hand, every item OF
traffic that the New York Central can
control is used to feed the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern.
Under existing conditions the Michi-
gan Central, it is said, is not permitted
to make any traffic deals with connect
in lines other than those of the New
York Central combination. This, it is
said, has put the Michigan Central in a
bad light with its connections, which
naturally discriminate in favor of their
connecting roads.
Our road could turn considerable
business to the Michigan Central, but
does not do SO because the Michigan
Central is not permitted to turn any
business to u.s." Is a statement attrib-
uted to an official of one of the coal

MOVEMENT
TO WIDEN
ST. FAVORED
George Dobin Actively En-
gagged in Furthering Plan;
Other Property Owners
Want to See State Street
East of Oakley Avenue.

The movement to widen East state
street east of oakley avenue. is gain
ing momentum every day George
Dobin, who has been dubbed The
mayor of East State street" is making
an active campaign in the interest of
the project.
Eugene Griswold, the owner of fine
corner at State and Sohl streets, where
he has invested $4,000 and expects to
put in $4,000 more. says that, although
he would have to change the plans of
the building that he proposes to erect
on the corner he would do so in the
interests OF the project
GriswoId is one of the progressive
property owners on State street who
believes in building just a little better
that conditions seem to warrant for the
purpose of helping the street
George Dobin himself will give IS
feet off from his corner at state and
Hohl streets providing the widening
goes through. Giles Warner, who has
never been known to stand in the way
of an Improvement, says that he will
give Is feet off from his corner at
State street and Oakley avenue pro-
viding an equitable basis for assessing
the damages is made.
Big Men Favor 1t.
Gostlin. Meyn & Co. enthusiastically
favor the widening of the street east
of Oakley avenue. Emil Minas. who
has recently built the finest mercantile
stores east of Oakley avenue. was
heartily in favor of widening the street
before his store was built
He realized that state street would
have to be made attractive If it ever
became an Import amt s 1siness- street.
Now, however. 1t would be necessary to
cut off the front of his building, but
1t is presumed that he would be will
Ing to have this done If he was reim-
bursed for the expense and was paid
an equitable amount in damages. In
fact. this expense would be the prin-
cipal one to be met If the street was
widened. However. the fact that the
assessment would be spread over the
property along the entire length of the
street would not make the cost bur-
densome
