WANT TO PUT
HAMMOND
ON The MAP

I'VE must do something to make the
Indiana society sit up and take notice
when the special train comes through
Hammond the latter part of this
month";" said A. NJ. Turner, a promi-
nent member of the society, yesterday.
Mr. Turner has some very original
suggestions which viii be taken up and
worked out. Among them is one to
the effect that William Thum imper-
senate President William II. Taft and
welcome the members of the society
to Hoosier soil after they cross the
line.
John E. Fitzgerald thinks it would
be a great stunt for the people of Ham
mond to erect a temporary triumphant
arch over the Monon railroad tracks at
Holman street SO that the entrance in
to Indiana territory might be duly
marked.
It is come back home" trip, you
know, and anywhere on Indiana soil is
home" to the expatriated Hoosier
Naturally the enthusiasm will be great
when the HOLSTERS cross the Indiana
Illinois state line and find themselves
back in Gods country.
For this reason some of the leading
business men of the city think that
some suitable stunt should mark the
entrance into the state of the special
train
In all of the cities along the route of
the Monon railroad there will be origi-
nal stunts" done to welcome the visit
ors, and the Hammond business men
are determined that Hammond shall not
| be outdone.
One suggestion is that some one i'm
personate Governor Thomas r. Mar
shall and welcome the sojourners to
Indiana. Another suggestion is that
an effort be made. to induce the gov
| ernor himself to come to Hammond and
| personally welcome the Indiana society
| to the state.
Suggestions will be gladly received
| and should be made to A. NJ Turner
| who is member of the committee. The
following citizens of Hammond have
decided to accompany the party to In
| dianapolis: A. NJ Turner and wife, w

SEEMS LIKE
HOPELESS TASK

II is becoming more and more of a
hopeless task to get the jury in the
case OF the state of Indiana VS.. John
Caldwell in the Gary payroll conspira-
cy cases.
1t was thought yesterday that the
Jury would be secured today, but the
state threw out number of veniremen
that had been accepted by the defense
and now another venre will have to
be called.
1t has now taken seven whole days
to get the jury and 1t is feared that
the case will not go to trial until Mon
day of next week. The case is attract
ing considerable attention and the
courtroom is filled with spectators at
times.
