Hammond's BoyviIle is not very ac-
tive these days, and while the organiza-
tion is still intact no work along the
original lines is being done.
Those who have studied the move
ment convinced that it has some
very desirable features about, but. on
the other hand, it apparently needs a
specializer to keep it going as origin
ally intended. But in as much as one
of the primary objects was to give the
boys of the city some health exercises,
this phase of Boville will not be lost

Prof. Buck. the physical instructor<in
the Hammond public schools has plans
now according to which the boys are
to have plenty of athletic Training. the
incentive for this being the establish

WAS It CAsE:
Of MURDER,
ASKPE0PlE?

The body of j. Lish, which was found
dead near Douglas Park last Wednes-
day. was taken to Chicago, today
where ii will be held for several DAYS
before it will be buried Hammond
Jews made up fund to defray the
burial expenses. They raised the ques-
ton as to the manner of Lish's DEATH
and take the position that he was MUIR
dered. whereas the popular impression
at first was that he committed suicide
Abe Cohen of the Hub clothing store
said today:
1T is highly probable that the man
was murdered. L am not saying that
the man was a Jew. nor will he be
buried according to the Jewish rites, or
religion. The Jewish religion teaches
us that we are to bury any man who
is found dead and for whose body there
are no claimants. So the question
whether this man was a lew or not
did not enter into this matter. If he
were Jew and had committed suicide
he would be considered beyond the pale
of our religion. But the point / want
to make is that the man was murdered
The bullet entered the head almost
from the back, very unusual position
for suicide to take. The revolver had
two empty chambers, whereas there
was one bullet wound. The hair of
the head were not powder burned. The
note in his clothes was unsigned, and /
am told there was no pencil in his pock-
ct And why would a man who wanted
to commit suicide and found himself
all alone, far away from any houses,
want to put his overcoat over his head
so as to muffle the sound2"

AUTOMOBILES

The Betz 1911 model will be placed on

months the work of designing an auto
mobile that will have most of the ad-
vantages of the higher priced cars and
vet will be manufactured to sell for
$3.50 has been carried on by Irving Betz.
the son of Frank S. Betz of Hammond.
The new car is to be wonder. and
the fact that Betz has proven his ability
to undersell all competitors in other
lines of trade convinces those who have
studied the matter that he will be able
to place car on the market that will
represent a greater value at the price
than any other car made.
There is probably no greater author
ity on automobiles in this part of the
country than Irving Betz. Some time
ago he went to Detroit and worked for
several omnths in the assembling de-
partment of a large automobile COM

Before he left he was rega rded as

new WELL
WILL GIVE
Them RELIEF

The vari-colored drinking water of
which the employees in the Gibson Of
fees complain has apparently led them
to the conclusion that they were being
supplied with the sewage from the Cal
umet river. This impression. however,
is an erroneous one, according to c. A.
agent at the hump office Mr. Taylor
stated this morning that the water
which is supplied the office forces is
Lake Michigan water. explaining that
the company had its own private wat
er main and also connection with the
Hammond city water mains
He also said that the company ex-
pected. beginning today, to use we'll
water from a well which had beex6
purposely driven to procure drinking
water. Mr. Taylor did not deny that it
had been customary to haul the drink
ing water in the engine tenders, which
probably accounts for it's color and
taste
The explanation, however, does not
remove the objection which the en-
ployes made, TO the effect that they
were practically compelled to buy the
ting up with water from the engine
tenders.
Dr. w. D. Weis, secretary ofNthe board
of health. said yesterday that he was
aware of the water situation in Gibson
and that he had had the matter up with
officials repeatedly, but that there is
no provision in the law under which
they can be prosecuted.

YOUNG FARMER MAY DIE
AS RESULT OF INJURIES
Verne Dyer, Brother of Mrs.
w. L. Altman Of Crown
Point, Badly Hurt.
Especial to THE TIMES. }

Lowell. Ind, Feb. 1.-Vern Dyer, a
popular young farmer living west of
Lowell met with severe accident that
will probably leave his face marked
for life. He and his brother Clyde were
driving in a rig near Schneider. when
the horses became frightened at a
train, and began rearing and plunging.
The pole of the vehicle came lose from
the neck yoke and fell to the ground,
and was broken and splintered in tho
center by the horses trying to run.
Mr. Dyer was jerked from the vehicle
and fell with his face on the broken
pole, and a Jagged point ran in his face
fearfully lacerating 1t and causing a
dangerous wound. He was taken to a
Chicago hospital as soon as posi- BILE
where 1t was first thought he could
not live, but later the surgeons thought
he might recover. His condition is
critical Mr.. Dyer is a brother of Mrs
w l. Altman wife of the Crown Point
banker.

GARY WANTS A
MUNICIPAL COURT
Say That 90 per cent of Gary's
Cases Could Be Tried at Home

The lawyers of Gary, regardless OF
the affected optimism of certain
newspapers, are now thoroughly con-
vinced that the court fight is lost,
irretrievably lost. 1t is not pleas
ant conclusion to reach in view Of the
bitterness of the fight and splendid
efforts that were made by the busi-
ness men of Gary to win it.
AS one Gary lawyer put it, There
is no use of our trying to jolly ours
selves into the belief that we have a
chance vet to win when the cold
facts are that there isn't a ghost of a
show.
"A lot OF us have been afraid to ad-
nit the truth. 1t isn't a Gary trait to
admit defeat, but there is another side
to the question. There is a lot of busi-
