Up TO HIS
OLD TRICKS

Some more of the loose financing of
one Eugene Purtelle the traction pro-
moter came to light in Hammond this
morning when a gang of Greek labor
ers who have been working on a bridge
near Thayer for Purtelle and his North
western Indiana Traction Co came up
Hammond with check for S345 pay
able at the Citizens German National
bank. The check bore the legends-La-
sale Construction Co, Northwestern
Indiana Traction Company and Eugene
Purtelle. The bank officials did not
cash it. they couldn't. They had no
money of Purtelles to pay it with. The
unfortunate laborers had their trip for
nothing and probably did their work
for nothing. The men went to James
Bereoios for help and advice and the
good hearted restaurant man took
them to lawyer who will probably
make things interesting for Eugene
Purtelle

HAVE YOU Gotta NAME :
FOR WEST HAMMOND?

How would you like to name a city
of 1000 inhabitants. The city of West
Hammond wants new name. For
years it has plodded along under the
name of West Hammond.
West Hammond suggests the past.
The very mention of the name calls to
mind the fact that the place was once
characterized as the wickedest city in
the world.
West Hammond has reformed and af-
ter sowing its wild oats has decided to
brace up and be a man. But the very
suggestion of the name suggests a
plague spot. 1t is inseperably asso-
ciated with red lights, saloons. sui
cides, murders and prize fights
No one realizes this more than the
people of the new city. They say that
West Hammond implies that the city is
no more than the western portion of
the city of Hammond. 1t does not give
the city the individuality that its size
and Importance deserves.
Many Names Suggested.
So the officials of the city are casting
about for name. The place used to
be known as Sobieski in honor of King
John Sibieski Ill the defender of
Vienna, but the name was changed to
West Hammond.
Some of the opponents of Miss vir-
ginia Brooks say that as long as she
is running the place that the town
ought to be called Brookston. How

Crown Point, Ind, July 2e.-Oh you
ladies. you with wealth of adiposc.
Here is your chance,
Fat women of Lake county are going
to have the opportunity to run a race
at the fair grounds at Crown Point
with Mayor Harold Wheeler's yearly
salary as the prize The occasion Is
the Lake County Odd Fellows picnic
which. next to the county fair. is the
greatest event Of the year at Crown
Point. With mayors princely salar y

roly-poly ladies have a large and al

Public Spirited Mayor.
Harold H. Wheeler is a public spirit
ed citizen; otherwise he would not
have been elected mayor of the new
city of Crown Point He did not need
to prove his public-spiritedness, for 1t
has already been demonstrated. but he
has done SO to the complete satisfac-
tfon of the Odd Fellows of Lake
county.
He was approached by the committee
on prizes and asked to contribute.
This is a worthy enterprise" said
Wheeler. "and I am going to do some
thing nice for you. What do you think
l ought to give.''
What They Thought.

whether or not the increase applied to
all of the railroads running into Ham
mond but an investigation by THE
TINES reveals the fact that il does.
The agents of the Monon. Erie, Mich
igan Central and Nickel Plate railroads
all stated that they had been request
ed to announce the increase.
w. B. Conkey has a daily car to Chi
cago so that the increase to him would
be at least SO a day and when he is
sending two or three cars 1t would
amount to more.
George Lockiin has an average of
three cars week to Chicago and he
would be affected by the increase. In
the case OF the Hammond Distilling Co,
which ships an average of two or three
car loads a day to Chicago the increase
would amount to $4,000 to $4,000 in a
year
The seriousness OF the matter may
be appreciated when the fact is known
that every manufacturer who figures
on locating in Hammond asks how the
freight rate between Hammond and
Chicago compares with that of other
cities on the outskirts OF Chicago
Should the manufacturer find that he
could ship from Chicago Heights, Har-
vey. Pullman and a dozen other cities
for SO less car he would be constrain-
ed TO locate in those places The meet
ing at the University club tomorrow
night promises to be an interesting
one.
Several years ago President Nc
Dowell of the Monon announced an in
crease of from se to sI2 a car on
minimum loads but this met with so
much opposition that the increase was
finally withdrawn.

Northern Indiana League
Race Promises to Be an
Exciting One; Gary Team
Is Materially Strength

Especial to THE TINES,

Indiana Harbor, Ind, July 26-With
the baseball season of the Northern In
diana league half over, the closest
student of the dope would find himself
altogether at sea regarding the prob
able disposition of the pennant at the
end of the summer.
Four OF the teams are so closely
punched that a couple of games might
be the means of revising the entire
order of things. The four teams at
present in advance are Crown Point
leading with one half game the bes /
of it over East Chicago, and Indiana
Harbor and Whiting tied for third
place. one game behind East Chicago
Coupled with this congestion the diff
Guilty is increased by the fact that
Hammond has a strong team which
any day may strike its gait and pass
the present leaders. and what with
Gary's hoodoo broken and with three
games won in rapid succession by the
Gary team against an array of moth
ing but blanks up to the last three
games, Gary stands forth an absolute
force to be reckoned with.
The strengthening of Gary's team by
the signing by Velmer of three good
new men. Mutually in center field, Ken
nally as short stop and Cullisan in the
position of second base, is responsible
for the change. Kennally has been
made captain and what with Gary's
