says: The total car surplus for the
date of this report is 25o.433. a de-
crease of 15.o75 since our last re-

There are also slight decreases in

bulk OF tho decrease in box cars is
In groups (CentraD, 5 (Southern)
and 10 (Pacific), while the coal car
decrease is general There are also
some scattering shortages. which
are as yet unimportant A study OF
the charts for previous years shows
that without exception the decrease
in surplus has started with either
the first or second period in July,

KNOEzER'S GOING
AFTER BEET INDUSTRY
Beet Topper and Harvester
Is Invented by Local
Manufacturer.

Otto Knoerzer, president OF the
Champion Potato Machinery company
of Hammond has invention, for
which he has just received letters pat
ent which is intended for a beet top
per and harvester.
Realizing what a big industry the
sugar beet raising is in this country
and that as yet no machinery has been
put on the market by which the sugar
beet can be successfully harvested. Mr.
Knoerzer set about a year ago to de-
velop a machine which should meet the
needs of the sugar beet planters.
The greatest need was to have a ma
chine that would dig the sugar beets
and if possible also cut off the tops.
The old method necessitates the top
ping by hand. while the digging was
an uncertain and unsatisfactory method
of plowing up the beets to some ex-
tent
The machine which Mr.. Knoerzer
has patented cuts off the tops and digs
UP the beet. The tops are left in the
field for fertilizer while the beets are
picked up like potatoes
Mr.. Knoerzer's machine is still in the
experimental stage to some extent,
none having been put on the market
yet 1t is his hope however to have
them on the market next year.

NORTHSIDERS HOLD
REGULAR MEETING
Complaint Is Made Against
Wabash Railroad For
Holding Crossings.

The North Side Business Mems asso-
citation met last night and transacted
considera Bile business of Importance.
The question of cutting down the un-
derbrush on vacant lots was taken up.
and in view of the fact that the cru
sade along these lines did considerable
good last year it is urged that the city
officials enforce the ordinances in this
respect this year.
The matter of the failure of the Wa
bash railroad to plank the Johnson
street crossing came UP for considera-
tion. The people along this street
were compelled to build walks and they
believe that the railroad ought to be
compelled to plank its crossing.
Complaint was also made agains I
this railroad on the grounds that it
holds these crossings when the men
are going to work in the morning and
makes a great many of them late to
their work.
Another matter which came up for
consideration was the .gas drip that
menaces the lives of children in its
vicinity According to the story that
was told at the meeting last night
some children were playing in the vi
vinity of this drip when escaping gas
resulted in rendering one of them sun-
conscious.

ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION
BEGUN THIS MORNING
Air Line Unloads Ties at
East Chicago Ready for
Laborers.

With the unloading of car load Of
ties this morning at East Gary actual
construction work on the East Gary
Goodrum division of the New York
Chicago air line was started. The di
vision when extended to Gary will link
the steel city with Laporte and inter-
mediate points. Hammond is already
connected with Gary by the air lines
allied or subsidiary company, the Gary
and Interurban railway, so within
short time Lake county points will be
have interurban connections with Port
and Lsporte counties other than the
connections afforded by the South
Shore route. Laporte is a traction
terminus and its direct connection with
Lake county will be of much benefit to
the Calumet region.
Work on the East Gary-Goodrum di-
vision will be actively prosecuted both
from the east as well as the west ends.
There is considerable activity in and
around Goodrum at the present time.
With the extension from East Gary
to Gary and the starting of construc-
tion work in the near future on the
Gary Hobart line, via Thirty-seventh
avenue, Gary will get two new trolle,
lines from points to the east.

ROSS SAYS HE
DOUBTS THE STORY
Deputy Prosecutor Doesn't
Think Greenwald Got
a Letter.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ralph
w. Ross said today that he had not
seen Prosecuting Attorney Greenwald
since Governor Thomas r. Marshall
had authorized a cleaning up of the
Cedar Lake resorts.
Ross said that he did not believe
that Greenwald had received a letter
from the governors Office on the sub
ject. He refrained from expressing an
opinion on the matter until he heard
from Greenwald except to say that he
thought If there was anything -wron &
that it was the duty of the Sheriff S
Office to take the initiative.
Ross was not inclined to become
very excited over the matter and said
that he was confident that the matter
would be properly handled by the
proper authorities.

The party was on it's way home, and
in the words of Chief Justice White

the only explanation that can be made
for the fact that the Hammond party
''pinched" while others going

the fact that the Hammondites were
