OFFICE IS BAROMETER
OF CONDITIONS
DR.. E. M. Shanklin Points
Out Fewness of Casual
ties in Past Weeks.

Coroner E. NJ. Shanklin of Lake
county says that the coroner's office is
one of the best barometers of industrial
conditions in Lake county that could
be found.
When times are prosperous railroads
and the manufacturipe eoncerns of the
county kill on theiSz Employees at the
rate ,.' e one and and 9 week; n the
death, Atributab1e either to the rail-
roads or to the industries Of the re-
gion.
Last year the records show that there
were seventy-eight coroners cases in
which death is due to accidents in the
manufacturing plants and on the rail-
roads. This year the record will be
less than one-half of that figure.
This makes it apparent that indus
tria activity takes its toll of life in the
region When the factories are all
running full force gain in Gary, East
Chicago and Hammond it is expected
that Lake county will show coroner s
record that will be again shocking.

Reason For Wanting

Closing Hurt Property Values
There.
-soht 81, VACATION ExlmPtf

1t now develops that the reason why
F. S. Betz seeks to have Johnston and
other streets on the north side vacated
is that he proposes to purchase a strip
of land from the Simplex Railway Ap-
pliance company, just west of his pres
ent property. and erect another large
factory building it.
1t so happens that Johnston street,
the street that the Hammond Business
Mems association declared should be
opened across the Calumet river to Sohl
street, occupies the spot upon which
Mr.. Betz wants to erect his factory
building.
The vacation of Sohl street for the
purpose of building the Erie coal stor-
age warehouse is pointed to as a shin
ing example that the city would be
foolish to give away rights that ii
might cost thousands of dollars to ac-
quire in the future. Sohl street, which
at one time promised to become one
of the important north and south thor
oughfares of the city was ruined. The
Erie coal storage warehouse did not
amount to much as an industry and
the dust from this plant has ruined
property values in that locality.
Deal Was Put Over.
But the Erie Coal Storage company
wanted to build it's plant here, and The
necessary persons to put over the deal
even at the expense of the city, were
found.

"The people of the north side do no

remonstrance against the closing o
this street would be signed by every

MAKES PATHETIC PLEA
TO POLICE OF CITIES
North Judson Man Thinks
Missing Wife May Be
in Hammond.

With the pathetic plea that The was
waiting for her return with open arms" !"
David f. Shearrer, resident of North
Judson, Ind, today, appealed to the
Chicago and Hammond police to locate
his wife. Mrs. Nellie Shearer. who dis
appeared from her home last week.
The appeal was made by letter.
Shearrer declared that he knew no rea-
son why his wife deserted him and his
2-year-o1d baby. He ventured no the
ory as to her disappearance or whether
she was the victim of a crime or not.
The letter on which the Chicago po-
lice today conducted a city wide search
for the woman. reads as follows:
My wife has been missing since last
Saturday She disappeared from her
home mysteriously and / believe she
may be found in Hammond or Spring
field Please help me locate her. If
you find her. notify me as soon as pos
sible / and the baby are waiting her

The deserted husband sent the police
a fun description of his wife. and with
this as a basis, search was instituted

No Tears Shed Here.

The South Chicago bowlers who en-
tered the Indiana Bowling association
contest at Indianapolis last week
found no sympathizers in Hammond
after it was learned that the Illinois
men broke into the game under false
pretenses, saying that they represent
ed Whiting
Most of the South Chicago bowlers
who were ruled out of the game are
personally known TO the Hamm ond
players, and while there is good re-
lation between the Illinois men and the
Hammond players, yet the latter could
give no endorsement to the action of
the South Chicagoans.

FURTHER
DELAYS
IN WORK

Further delays are anticipated in the
construction of the Groman- -Muenich
block on South Holman street. The
contract was let to Contractor Thomas
Ricketts,, but there have been some
differences of opinion between the con-
tractor and the builders and the work
has been delayed
The building is to be of reinforced
concrete construction and this is some
what of an experiment with Hammond
contractors. The building was started
last fall. but the cold weather inter-
fered with the work and so ii was de-
cided to abandon building operations
until spring.
Now that seasonabie building wealth
er has come it was expected that the
work would go forward on the build
ing, but the differences between the
contractors has caused the delay. 1t is
NOT known what will be the outcome OF
the controversy.
