MAY BE IMPORTANT,

The visit of high officials of the
New York Central railway lines is
said to foreshadow an important
railway move in the Calumet region.
1t is declared that within a short
while the Lake Shore and the Michi-
gan Central freight traffic between
Gary and Chicago will be routed via
the Indiana Southern railway and
the leased Gary and Western high
line. This will relieve congestion on
the main lines.
Every visit of the officials to Gary
brings rumors of the location of the
repair shops and yards at Miller, but
whether the Gibson shops and yards
are to be developed or whether the
company will build on it's property
in Miller remains to be seen.

A Familiar Figure.
Captain Downing resigned two weeks
ago. but his resignation will not take
effect for some time. He will continue
until his successor arrives TO take his
place.
He has been a familiar figure in
Hammond for the past twenty years.
Every man, woman and child who took
a Monon train liked Captain Downey.
AS a representative of one of the prin-
cipal railroads of the city he has been
loyal to his company and accommodate

Friends Regret Move.
No one was more delighted than
Captain Downing when the Monon rail-
road finally decided to build a new de-
pot in Hammond. For years he had
been working with poor facilities and
had been compelled to get results un-
der the most adverse circumstances.
It is matter of regret to his friends
that Captain Downing has seen fit to
resign before the new depot is com
pleted. They had hoped to be able to
greet him in the new depot and extend
to him their congratulations.

GROUNDS ARE READY.
Fair Site Now Waiting for the Big
Show.

Ground superintendent Ed Maroney
of the state Fair association informed
Secretary H. L. Cook this morning that
the grounds are now in readiness for
the exposition unless the secretary
shows him some more work that should
be done.
Fifty thousand dollars-and then
some-has been expended in the ere--
ton of new buildings and making I'M
provements of one nature and another.
Many of the concessionaires have al
ready begun to erect stands and pre-
pare in various ways for doing bust
ness fair week. TT is remarkable, .
said Secretary H. L. Cook today, that
there should be so much preparation so
early. Last year there was scarcely
anything done on the grounds by he
concessionaires (the secretary's way of
spelling it, until two or three days be
fore the fair.

the other hand, for payments of rail-
road fare and hotel bills, and like
charges, the auditor has the right to
insist on some proof that the railroad
journey was actually performed, and
that the lodging and entertainment
was actually furnished by a hotel. And
the easiest and most convenient way for
the claimant to furnish that proof is
by producing railroad and hotel re-
ceipts Indeed, I think the auditor
could call in a claimant and put him
on oath and examine him as to the
correctness of his account Nor am I
prepared to say that the auditor would
not have a right to examine the ticket

ceipts be produced would, in my opin-
ion. be upheld by the courts as reason

q suppose that the exaction of re-
ceipts by the auditor is as much of
burden to me as it is to any officer in
the service of the state. I do not even
like to think of the expenses l have
made on state busin ess for which 1
have found it impossible to produce
receipts. and for which 1 have never

penditures are going on all the time in

AUDITOR IS RIGHT.
Proper to Demand Receipts from
states Servants.

Attorney General Dawson today
handed down an opinion to the effect
that the state auditor has perfect
right in the law to demand receipts
from persons travelling on state ex-
penses for all necessary disbursements
made during the journey. The right
of the auditor to demand these re-
ceipts for all except trifiing expenses
has long been questioned. Former
Auditor Nation originated the custom
of demanding receipts and Auditor
Davis has continued it in effect. The
attorney generals opinion covers the
case from every angle and is as log
zeal as it is emphatic. In concluding
his lengthy opinion, Mr.. Dawson says;
ssIt seems clear to me that the
auditor has the power. and it is his
duty to exercise the power, of examin-
ing into the correctness of any account
or voucher presented for the payment
of state funds. And he may make any
reasonable rule or requirement to that
end. A rule or requirement for re-
ceipts for street car, baggage checks,
long distance telephone calls, which
are paid by dropping money into a
slot machine, and various similar items
of small amount, would be unreason-
able, and no court would uphold it. On
