STILL HITCH
IN GAS co.
SIGN AFFAIR

Although permission has been grant
ed by the city building commissioner
to the Northern Indiana Gas G Elec
trio Co. to erect the enormous sign
which has been purchased and sent
here, there is still a hitch in the pro-
ceedings.
Anton II. Taper will not permit the
erection of the sign until he is certain
that his building will not be damaged
without recompense. He also wants to
be assured that there will be no dan
ger to pedestrians should the sign be-
come loosened and fall.
The gas company submitted a plan
to the building commissioner in which
it was shown that the sign would rest
on a large It beam run through the
outer wall and bucl1led to the joist. 1t
would be supported by similar "I'
beam from the top
Taper says he wants to know the
exact weight of the sign and then de-
sires to have the plans for it's erection
submitted to his architects, so that
they can determine whether or not
the plan will be safe.

Especial to THE TIMES,

Crown Point, Ind, Jan. 12.-Of the
marriage of Miss Jessie Hill, well
known here, a Chicago paper says to-
day:
Jimmy Henry. star half back on
the University of Chicago football
team in 1898, 1899 and 1900, won a wife
when he bucked and squirmed and
twisted his tortuous way through the
almost impregnable line in the final
game of his career at the Midway in
stitution, but he didn't know it then
Miss Jessie Hin, daughter of John
Hill Jr., who sat on the bleacher that
cold November day and watched with
especial interest Jimmy Henry battle
for the honor of his college, was intro
duced to Henry after the game
They were married at the home of
the brides parents, 6049 Kimbark ave
nue., and are now on their honeymoon
trip. They will live at 5442 Winthrop

CITIZENS
REF isl: TO
RECEOE

For the benefit of the doubling
Thomases who are wondering what the
future course of the citizens committee
VIII be in regard to an injunction re-
straining the school board and Eald-
well & Drake, the contractors, from
carrying out the contract for the pro-
posed industrial high school, 1t may be
said that the committee has not reced-
ed one inch, and that its determination
to fight the school board and the con-
tractors through injunction proceed
ings is s firm as the Rock of Gibralter.
According to the deal the contrac-
tors are to play the next card. this
having been the understanding at the
conference last Saturday when the
school board the sub committee and the
attorney for the contractors met Moth
ing has been heard. however, from
them so far.
In the meantime the impression has
also gained ground that the whole con-
troversy would be settled in some way
or another and that the plans as orig
inally outlined would he carried out
without legal battle. Nothing is far
ther from the minds of the citizens
committee. A meeting was scheduled
to be held this afternoon in the office
of Charles Friedrich in the Hammond
building, in which the next steps to be
taken we're to be discussed by the
subcommittee.
You say for me-" said Charles
Friedrich today. that l haven't laid
down or sold out on this proposition
We realize from the beginning that we
would have to put up an injunction
bond and that is not worrying me-"

Indianapolis, Jan. 12.-Believing
that too many liquor bills in the Leg
sslature will have a tendency to re-
tard the enactment of the Dempcratic
platform measures, Senator Proctor
of Elkhart said last night he will en-
deavor to have the Committee of Pub
lie Morals of both Houses to report
out his county local option amend
ment bill before any other measures
are received for consideration. The
bill drawn by attorneys representing
the Indiana Association of Brewers,
which provides for many departures
in the liquor laws of the state, does
not meet with approval of Senator
Proctor, because he is in favor of
$1,000 license fees and other re-
restrictions which, he says, would re-
move the liquor question from
politics altogether and which are not
contained in the brewers bill.
