Frank Hammond is being talked of
for the presidency of the Hammond
Business Mems association, which will
hold the annual election of officers to-
night
Hammond has been prominently
identified with the commercial interests
of the city for years and it is believed
that he will make a good officer.
Secretary r. F. Johnston will not
permit his name to be used for the
presidency of the association. He is
content to hold the secretaryship a
position which he has filled very con-
scientiously
Deputy Sheriff George Blocki, the
custodian of Lake superior court house,
finally agreed that the Business Mems
association could use court room No. 3
for the purpose of holding the annual
meeting tonight. The meeting will ac-
cordingly be held at o'clock tonight
in court room No g.

JESSE WILSON MAY
LOCATE IN HAMMOND
Assistant Secretary of In
terror That Was Looking
Over the Field.

According to Rensselaer, paper
Jesse E. Wilson, who has just returned
from Washington where for five and
a half years he was one of the assist
ant secretaries of the interior. may de-
eide to locate in Hammond. He will
shortly investigate the field and may
open up an office in the city. The two
new superior courts established there
by the legislature will greatly facilitate
court business and probably offer a
good opportunity fer more lawyers of
ability, and Mr.. Wilson will probably
be able to very rapid build up good
practice.

HAMMOND

NEW FLATS
Buildings Containing Ten to
Fifteen Flats Would Rent

Hammond must have a strictly mod
ern and up-to-date fiat building, with
steam heat, hot water and janitor serv-
ice, to provide homes for a score of
families that desire to live in this city
and cannot find suitable places in which
to live.
A we'll known real estate man had
this TO say about the fat problem. The
people of Hammond will have to re-
wise their plans for building fats The
day will come when the two-f1at build
ing in which the tenant is required to
keep up his own fires will be consid-
cred undesirable.
I'm its place must come the eight,
ten, twelve, fourteen and sixteen fiat
buildings which are large enough to
warrant its owner in hiring a man to
look after the heating plant, the hot
water and the disposal of garbage"

One of the head men at Gibson said
yesterday, There are a score of us
who must come to Hammond from Chi
cago to live in your primitive flats. We
have been used to the steam heated
flats which are cared for by a janitor,
and we will be compelled to look after
our own fires here"

new SURVEY OF
CALUMET RIVER
U. s. Civil Engineer Corps
Men Are Busy in Lake
County.

The activities of a surveying gang
under the direction of A T. Grohmann
of the United States civil engineering
corps of Chicago along the Grand
Calumet river during the past few
weeks, have been the subject of con-
siderable speculation on the part of
persons who realize the value of the
river as commercial and industrial fac
tor
Ostensibiy the survey is being made
to establish the government lines of
the river in order to correct and am
plify and possibly make new ones for
the ones sadi to have been lost. Stakes
have been set all along the river from
Gary to Hammond. and the gang is
now at Pullman.
If there vas any other object be-
hind the survey outside of merely re-
establishing the old lines, the members
of the surveying gang did not know.
Their Information was meager, but 1t
is generally hoped that this is the be-
ginning of work leading toward the
deepening and widening of the river.

COMMENT

General comment today on Mayor
Smalley's appointment of Deputy City
Treasurer Edward Aubry was very IA
vorable toward the mayor and his ap-
pointee. The appointment was the new
mayors first official act as the city's
chief executive. and as his executive
ability is being watched with a great
deal of interest it is said that MS first
move was an excellent one. Ed. Au-
bry is generally conceded to be the
logical man for the place. 1t is the
controllers duty to check the city
treasurer's office and just at present
no man aside from John Smalley is bet
ter qualified to do this than Ed. Au-
bry, the man who has been in the city
treasurers office for four years. In
asmuch as executive ability in a pub
lie office consists largely by the kind
of men with which the executive sur
rounds himself. 1t is said, for Mayor
Smalley that he has begun WELL
Those who know Frank H Ebert

say the city treasurer has selected a
capable assistant. Mr. Ebert has ia
large number of friends who are con-
graduating him upon his selection. He

SALOON men OK.
ATTY. BRUCE ERRS
Atty. for Indiana Anti-SaloOn League
Thought He Had Gary Saloons
Put Out of Business



Crown Point, Ind, March 9.-The
Gary saloonkeepers have it on Attor-
neys Bruce and Matthews Of the In
diana Anti-Saloon League and are
chuckling over it to beat the band.
The lawyers gave out the informa-
tion this morning that after May first
every saloonkeeper in the city of Gary
would lose his license on a technicali-
ty which applies only to Gary. Fol-
lowing this, the county commission
ers would be able to grant but thirty
three licenses in the entire city of
Gary, which, territorially, is the
third largest city in the United
States.
GRABBED THE WRONG MONTH.
That is what Mr. Bruce though. but
he had pulled the wrong leaf in the
calendar.
Now here was the vital point, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bruce: '@rhe saloon IL
censes expire May 4, but the cOun-
~ commissioners do not meet until
May Z. 1t will be noticed that there
II an interim OF SIX 00yS Wnen nearly
all of the snloonkeeper~ of Gary will
he without "A license TO do BUSINESS"
The AntiSaloon League would have
been cooking up a nice little surprise
party for the saloonkeepers were it
not for the fact that the county com
missioners will meet on May 1, the
day the licenses expire, instead of
May T.
HOW 1T WOULD WORK.
Under the democratic restrictive
measure, which took the place of the
republican county option law, the num-
ber OF saloons in any city is limited to
one to sve<y 500 Inhabitants
The nub OF the whole proposition is
this: The provision which permits the
renewal of licenses Is all that prevents
the Immediate reduction of the num-
her of saloons in Gary from nearly 200
to but 33, one TO every 800 people In
Gary.

UP ON FRIDAY.
Especial to THE TINES }

Crown Point. Ind, March 9.-The
county commissioners of Lake coun-
ty will take up the matter of the
saloon licenses again next Friday,
when they will consider q number
of remonstrances. Two in particu-
lar will come up. One is against a
Miller saloonkeeper and the other
is against a saloonkeeper in High
lands.
On Saturday n number OF import
ant matters of law will come up
for consideration. Different points
of law will be taken up and decided
by the commissioners.
These concern the eligibility of
certain saloonkeepers who have not
yet become naturalized and also con-
Germ the matter of the provisions
of the Proctor restrictive measure
which has just been passed and
copies of which will be in the hands
OF the county councilmen.
1t is expected that the sessions
of the county council will continue
until such a time as the license
question has been disposed of. 1t is
not known how long this will take

pire ON May 1. and the county commits
siOners do not meet until May these
snIOOnkeepers cannot claim that they
nre applying for a renewal of their old
license when that license has run out.
1T WAS FOXY MOVE, BUT
In other words. If you have no liz
cense you cannot renew it. That is just
the position that Attorneys Bruce and
Matthewss expect to take in this mai
ter. and for the second time the sa-
loonkeepers of Gary will have to fight
to hte last ditch to prevent the wiping
out of three-fourths of its saloons.
II was a great and foxy move on
the part of the Indiana Anti-Saloon
League. but this evening the saloon
keepers of Gary are having laugh at
the expense of Messrs. Bruce and Mat
thews.
