SMASHED HIS JAW
And HELD HIM UP
Brother Of Hammond Man
Is Robbed and Brutally
Treated in Chicago.

Frank Alt of Chicago. who has been
visiting with Henry Alt, 81 Harrison
avenue. for some time. was held up in
Chicago last Saturday night by masked
men and robbed of s31 in money and
new suit of clothes
The. holdup took place at about $40
Saturday night, when Alt was on his
way to see a brother, who lives in
Chicago.
As Alt was approaching the Luetger
factory. under tho viaduct at Hermitage
and Diversy boulevard, two men sprang
out at him from the shadows of an
iron column and rendered him uncon-
scious for nearly half an hour.
When Alt came to he made his way
to his brothers home, where he found
he was minus a couple of teeth and a
pretty sore jaw
Not till Monday did Alt go to a dem
tist, where. he found that his jaw bone
was broken and had evidently been
struck by a pair of brass knuckles
Last night DIR. Davis and DR. Chidlaw
wired his jaw and it will be a month
at the least before Alt will be able to
open his mouth. as it was found neces-
sary to wire his upper and lower jaw
together so that the jaw would knit
together.
Alt said the men sprang at him be-
fore he had time to defend himself
I and all happened in such a short time
that he was not able to see what the
holdups looked like.

MAYOR IS
IN FAVOR OF
MARKET

Mayor John D. Smalley is a convert
to the city market idea as was indicated
by his suggestion at the city council
on Tuesday night. and further in con-
versation with a TINES reporter today.
Tuesday night was as to what should
be done with the vacant property across
the street from Central park. between
the city hall and the city barn, Now 1t
is nothing but open storage yard
for the street and water department,
and as a result an eye-sore to the COM
munity. Mayor Smalley said on Tues
day night that it had been suggested
that the ground be used for city mar
ket. This was all he said at the time.
but in speaking of il again today he
expressed himself being in favor of
giving the market trial.
Something must he done with this
ground said Mayor Smalley 1T cam
not longer be tolerated as an eye-sore.
| hope that when we have found a new
the yard. that the council will see fit to
use the propertx-as a city market The
expense of converting 1t would be small,
probably not any more than using the
ground for park purposes Should the
open air market prove successful, steps
could then be taken for market build
ing and stalls but the open air market
should be tried first. The probabilities
arc that the farmers will not patronize
the market during the winter season.
but by next spring il should get a good
start

WAS
SPONSOR
FOR CLUB

To Deputy Prosecuting Attorney r
W. Ross of Hammond is given the cred
it for the forming of the Federated
Commercial Clubs of Indiana, accord
ing. to the Muncie Star. Mr.. Ross was
fprmerly the president of the Muncie
Commercial club.
IS The paper has the following to say
about the inception of this Organization
which is now in convention at Fort
Wayne and the meetings of which are
-attracting' so much attention
The Muncie Commercial club is real
tIy the founder of the Federated Com
mercial clubs of Indiana. At a meeting
of the Commercial clubs held in Con-
nersville some four or FIVE years ago,
Ralph w. Ross, then president of the
Muncie club, now an attorney of Ham
mond. Ind, made the talk of the even
ing. in which he suggested the organ
ization of the Commercial Clubs of In
diana. and it was from that talk that
the association. known as the Federat-
ed Commercial Clubs of Indiana was
formed"
When this revelation was made Mr..
Ross was asked what he thought of the
Hammond Business Mems association.
which is the only commercial and civic
organization in Hammond
Mr.. Ross said: when I came to
Hammond | was naturally Interested in
the commercial club. ! found that the
only organizatio of this character was
the Hammond Business Mems associa- :
tion. and as I am a firm believer in
organizations of this character, l join

II believe I attended three meetings
and then discovered that there was
really not much doing. l found that a
group of a few men got together and
transacted the business of the organiza-
tion in a perfunctory manner. How
could they do otherwise.
There was nothing to interest me
and 1 did not attend any more of the
meetings. Judging from the attendance
at the meetings of the organization
| there are a great many other men ir
the city who feel the same as do about

1T appears to me that the time is rips

WHO SLEW JOHN REcFPS
BABE, REcH OR SOCIETY?
There is food for thought m a
story that comes from Santa Bar
bara, Cal.
John Rech, an Italian gar
dener who worked for ST a day,
murdered his two-days-old child.
Sheriff Stewart hid near the
Rech home, watching for the
murderer.
After twelve hours Rech re.
turned from the hills, where he
had been in hiding, to bid good
bye to his wife.
Sheriff Stewart arrested him.
AS he was led to jail, Rech did
not deny his crime He shrug-
his shoulders hopelessly.
"How could l support a wife
and baby on a dollar a day?" he
asked.
His captors did not answer
him. Their duty was to see to it
that Rech paid the penalty of his
crime.
But how could Rech support
wife and baby on a dollar a day
in these times of high cost of liv-
ing?
And who is to blame for the
death of Rech's child.
John Rech,
Or the society that paid him
one dollar day for his labor?
