GET NEW
ALLIES

In an ordinance adopted by the
Hammond city council last night.
pawnbrokers and secondhand dealers
were made the allies of the police de-
partment to assist in recovering stolen
goods.
The ordinance provides for the keep
ing of a record by every dealer of ev-
cry article which he purchases, and not
to offer 1t for sale until thirty days
have elapsed after his purchase. His
record must show the time, place and
the name of the person, when, where
and from whom the article was pur-
chased, and upon the demand from the
police chief copy must be furnished
him daily at noon. A penalty ranging
from SIS to $500 is attached to the or
dinance. The enforcing of this ordin-
ance will assist the police department
greatly in locating stolen articles which
have been bought by the dealer in good
faith and to get access to articles
which a crooked dealer may buy.

designating Truman and Wilcox ave-
nues as streets. from Hickory street

Jewett Has Plans.
MEETING SOON TO
DISCUSS QUESTION

Hammond's water supply problem
and It's solution will cost the city of
Hammond approximately ss4 00e in ad-
pump, which together with the new
building will cost about $4,000.
The matter was laid before the city
council last night by Adam r. Ebert
president of the board of public works
he having received his figures for the
same from Clarence Jewett, superin-
tendent of the city water department
The problem that confronts the city
now, according to Mr.. Ebert, is this:
that the city has not enough water
mains to carry the additional amount
of water that would be pumped by the
100000 pump. In fact. the present
pumps seem to be able to crowd the
mains beyond their capacity IN certain
districts. The city's water mains now
come down Sheffield avenue, one being
a 24-inch, while the other is sixteen

in size, and 1T is to eliminate this re-
duction that additional mains are re-

mains are needed, but the question be-

should spend only enough money to
care for the present needs, or build for

ented recluse who has lived here In
a hovel that was once a stable, for
many years. Disguised, he said, with
everything pertaining to modern life.
Bauman determined to rear his foster
son in the atmosphere of a by-gone
age. The classic tongue of Rome was
the only language taught to the boy
by his eccentric parent, who was well
able to follow his part, he having been
a noted Latin scholar in Europe.
When the lad was ten years old he
possessed a knowledge Of Latin that
the school taught youth of twice his
age could not hope ever to equal. Now,
he speaks the ancient tongue SO well
and reads and writes 1t with such
fluency that he may well be said to
have revived dead language.
The elder Bauman's desire to bring
up the boy in an atmosphere of aloof
ness from all that is modern has been
well carried out. The youth has never
ridden on train, used a telephone or
in any way mingled in the life of the
village, which. narrow as it is, repre-
sents to him the great outside world,
full of evils and temptations.

''Den,. Brudder Jones, what am

This was too much for Brudder
Jones, so he proposed that the people
have a called meeting that afternoon.
After the point was discussed at the
afternoon meeting the following reso-
luton was made:
