HAMMOND SHR|NERS
ATTEND CHICAGO DO|NGS

About twenty members of Orak
shrine in Hammond attended the mid
night cornerstone laying of the new
Medinah temple, in Chicago last night.
The cornerstone laying was preceded
by banquet which was held in the old
shrine temple.
The banquet lasted until near mid
night, and most of the Hammond party
left the city after this was over. The
rest. including Illustrious Potentate H.
E Sharrer, stayed to see the ceremon-
les.
1t is said that II is remarkable that
5000 people stayed up until 4 O'Clock
in the morning to witness the cere-
mony. No other order in the country
has membership of the high character
of the shrine membership in Chicago
that would think of doing such a
thing.
With Oriental pomp and ceremony
the corner stone of the new Medinah
temple. in Cass street. was laid last
night, promptly on the stroke of L.

plant is the only one which manufac-
lures steel passenger coaches the or
der will come here.
There are others rumors to the eff
feet that the steel passenger car de-
partment of the Standard VIII be run
TO its full capacity this winter. This
is an industry in itself and employs q
high grade lot of men.
The outlook in the freight car de-
partment. so far as ii concerns the To-
cal plant of the Standard steel Car
company. is rot very good. 1t is said
that the Standard steel Car company
had the refusal on an order of 1000
Missouri Pacific, but it would have had
to take them at a loss of $50 car.
The American Gar & Foundry company
took the order. figuring that it would
break even on the proposition when
it is figured that the overhead charges
would probably amount to that much
and the company would have the ad-
vantage of maintaining its organiza-
ton.
But the fact that the Simplex is look
ing forward to a busy winter and that
the Standards ste6 passenger car de-
partment will probably keep 1900 men
busy this winter is an exceedingly
good indication. and means that Ham
mond is going to have a lot of Christ
mas money this year.

far as to damage large amount of
property. and the sum wlll run up TO
many hundreds of dollars. This took
place all over the city.
The police department was kept busy
this morning answering telephone calls
to the effect that some had their porch
sets stolen and others their fences brok
down and carried blocks away and
damaged Signs were torn down, win
dows soaped. rubbish thrown on door
steps, building material thrown around
promiscuously.
Most of the damage was done on
the north side AND on Michigan ave-

police protection was inadequate at
night and that they could do as they
pleased.

THEATRE
WILL CHANGE
ITS NAME

The of the Orpheum theatre.
In Hammond, is to be changed to the
Hammond theatre soon the signs
be changed The first attractin
that will be played under the new
name is Madam sherry which Will
appear in Hammond Nov. IL.
The change in the name of the the
atre has been contemplated for some
time Manager c. G.. Kingwell did
not think that the name Orpheum was
suitable for a house that plays the
character of shows that the Hammond
theatre does.
Orpheum is a name that has been
adopted by the theatres under the con-
troll of the Orpheum vaudeville cir
cult AS a result theatres that have
been named Orpheum are generally
vaudeville houses.
The Hammond theatre is anything
but vaudeville house. and so it was
thought advisable to change the name.
Then, too. the name is so common that
confusion results. There is an Or
pheum theatre in Gary and the new
Schultz theatre is to be called the New
Orpheum.

Young boys who hired hayrack to
take them around ro~n are reported
to have done the most damage Nu-
merous reports came in where they
had torn down fences and hauled away
wagons. Henry Hasselbring, who owns
a saloon at 442 Michigan avenue, said
that because he would not sell some
boys some beer. they went out SIDE,
tore down his fence and then threw the
pickets through his screen door. They
also tore down fence in front of
Nick Kahl's home en- Michigan ave
nue.. They even went as far as to
pull two buggies past the police sta

street. The lads were caught and
took the buggies back to their owners.
No arrests were made during the night
