MEETING
BY Vote of 5 to o Hammond
Business Mems Associa-
tion With Membership Of
200 Decides Johnson st.
Should Be Closed.

At the meeting of the Hammond
Business Mems association last even
ing the question of closing johnson
street carried by vote of to o. Only
members were permitted to vote, and
as a result the six or eight others who
were present did not register their
opinions.
Those who were present at the meet
ing were as follows: f. S. Betz, w. H.
Gostlin, John E. Fitzgerald. A. NJ. Tur-
ner, John Beckman, David t. Emery.
Ralph Groman w. H. Gostlin. Jr.; L.
L Bomberger, w. j. McAleer. T. w.
vandewalker, Peter Lyons. Cornelius
Burns, w. E. Fowler. John E. McGar-
ry, e. F. Johnston, NJ. e. Zuvers and
reporters for the two papers.
1t was the above persons who by
vote of five to nothing declared it
to be the sense of the Hammond Bus
mess Mems association that Johnson
street ought to be closed. The associ-
alton has a membership of nearly zoo.
1t may be said. however, that full
and fair discussion of the question
was had The OPINIONS of all were at
least respected and the effort to ridi-
cule a man out of his argument was
not attempted at this meeting
From the very start, however, it was
seen that the small size of the meet
ing would not warrant the support
ers of the closing of Johnson street in
declaring that the Hammond Business
Mems association had gone on record In
favor of the project. Consequently the
statement was iterated and reiterated
that We'll the matter will have to be
decided in the courts anyway
= The holding of meetings by the North
Side Citizens association, the Manu-
facturers' association and the HAM
mond Business Mems association for
the purpose of discussing the closing
of johnson street called forth state
ment by City Attorney John Gavit this
morning.
Mr. Gavit said, 1.-The question of the
advisability of closing Johnson street
is one that will have to be finally set
tied in the courts. / do not see why
an effort is being made to influence
public opinion in this matter by the
holding of public meetings.
There will be ample time for the
attorneys on both sides to present this
matter to the court and it will then be
decided on its merits. 1t is foolish
for people to get worked up over this
matter at this stage of the game. II
these meetings are being held for the
purpose of influencing the decision OF
the court, L think they might as wei
not be held
The demonstrators had a represent
ative at the meeting last evening ir

sented their cause. This is the frs
time that they have had any one tt

MEETING
WAS WELL
ATTENDED

The Employers, Builders and Mate
iral Mems association of Lake county
held its regular monthly meeting in
Hammond last night and was attend
ed by about 10 members. Gary sent a
delegation fifty strong. The meeting
was principally devoted to discussion
of the situation it now exists. The
contractors related how they are get
ting along under the open shop prin-
ciple, and members who attended last
night. said this morning that there is
spirit of confidence which apparently
is growing with each month.
1t was emphasized at the meeting
last night that the association. as a
body, is not opposed to a uniform
scale of wages for the craftsmen and
for a uniform number of hours to con-
stitute the working day. the issue still
being as to whether building work
shall be delayed because business
agents call out their men in sympathet-
ic strike with the electricians and
other crafts.

WIDOW Of
zALOT NOW
HAPPY
Judge A. B. Anderson Rules
That She Is Entitled to
Citizenship Despite Fact
That Husband Died Be-
fore Papers Were Issued.

Is a widow whose husband had been
granted citizenship in the United
States. but who dies before the certifi-
cate can be issued be entitled to the
privileges that would have accrued to
her had her husband lived?
This question was raised in Ham
of Anton Zalot of East Hammond, who
was admitted to citizenship by Judge
A. B. Anderson in the federal court a
week ago last Tuesday and who died
two days later. Judge Anderson yes
terday instructed Charles Surprise, the
deputy United States clerk at Ham
mond, to turn over the certificate to
the widow.
This is the first time the question
has arisen in Indiana, Illinois or Wis
consin, and as far as is known it is the
first one in the United States.
The question was settled by corre-
spondence, and Mrs. Zalot is happy in
the possession of the certificate. Hav-
ing it in her possession she is en-
titled to the rights and privileges that
any American citizens wife could have
in going abroad, or in protecting her
property in the United States in the
event of war. In Mrs. Zalot's case the
cause she is property owner here
and intends to visit the old country
some time in the future
The certificate is an essential neces-
sity to prove citizenship, but usually
not issued until several days after the
admission is made.

HOSPITAL. NETS NICE
sum FROM CONCERT

Although the net financial returns
are not yet In, the big audience at the
Orpheum theater for the K. o. TN
band concert last night was evidenced

to be the beneficiary, benefited hand
somely by the affair. Every seat on
the main floor and in the balcony was
sold. and nearly every one was occu-
pied.
D. A. Pugh. the director of the band,
and the members of his band who gave
their Services free for the benefit of
the hospital are deserving of the high
est praise for the excellent enter
tainnlent which they furnished
Director Pugh had gagged the taste
of his audience well in the selection
of the program numbers. He made
his selections from the popular num-
bers from the old masters There
were forty-five pieces on the stage.
The audience had the good fortune
last night of hearing Eugene Waek,
who is generally conceded to be the
most accomplished cornetist in Chica-
go The solo number he gave last
night brought forth volumes of APP
plause from the enraptured audience
No less a pleasing number was the

of Hammond. Gounod's Flower Song"
from Faust afforded her an opportuni-

voice seemingly improves in the time
