Republicans who feel that there is a

pleased with the prospect of Fairbanks

WEATHER
FROWNS ON
CHARITY

Fate and fortune were unkind to the
tag day workers today and tonight,
when the willing workers check in.
they will feel that their work is but
half done.
The threatening weather all day kept
more than half the taggers at home,
and scarcely fifty of the hundred that
were expected were out on the streets.
Mrs Will Lash and Mrs. I. /. Modjes-
ka. the chairmen, respectively, of the
philanthropic committee of the Ham
mond Women's club and the Jewish La
dies Aid society, under whose auspices
tag day was observed. were somewhat
discouraged when they realized early
this forenoon that the harvest for the
poor would be- slim.
The need for a tag day was en-
phasized today by the curtailed con-
tributions that were made. Some men
who were approached frankly admitted
that because of the hard times they had
not a cent to spare. Others more pros
winter, and made their donations less
generous than in former years. This
Ii was pointed out would only indicate
Hammond this winter would be larger
than ever and argued for the need of a
tag day.
IF under the circumstances we can
show 5000 this evening, / think we
shall have done we'll" said Mrs. Lash
this afternoon I'VE have not yet de-
cided whether we shall hold another
tag day this fall or not"

FRANK TUCKER AND
DR.. OBERL|N INSPECT
Filthy Place Found Across
Line in Illinois Where
Farmer Ships to City.

Frank Tucker, the state pure food
inspector, DR.. r. w Oberlin, secretary
of the county board of health, and j.
T. O'Rourke, the Hammond city sealer
and deputy pure food Inspector visited
the dairies yesterday of a number of
farmers shipping milk into Hammond
They found that most of the Lake
county farmers are making an honest
effort to put a clean product on the
market. Across the state line in ILL.,
nois, however, they found a place that
needs immediate and radical changes in
the dairying method If the farmer
wants to avoid conflict with the Indi-
ana state board of health. His barn
is extremely unsanitary and his method
of handling the milk is not conducive
to cleanliness.
The Lake county farmers are far
from perfect in their methods, but it
is apparent that the years of campaign
ing for a cleaner product, produced
under sanitary conditions. is bearing
fruit The suggestions made by the
officials were received in the proper
spirit and much good is expected to re-
suit from the visit
The visitors stopped at about a dozen
farms and wound up by going to Gary.

Johnson said: "The interest on CONNER
cial paper. the paper that Is put out by
such concerns as the G. H. Hammond
Co, Sfegei & Cooper and other firms
of that character In Chicago and other
cities, has increased from az to and
5h per cent.
This is an indication that a large
amount of money is being absorbed in
other lines and that the demand for
money is SO great that the natural re-
suit is an Increase in the interest rates
on this kind of paper.
IF there is great expansion in other
lines 1t will mean that employment will
be given to a greater number of men,
!, that the products of the factories will
require more cars to move them and
will result in general activity all along
the line.
TT appears to me that we have got
to bed rock In the business depression
that has prevailed all summer and that
from now on there will be a noticeable
Improvement in business conditions.
The only disturbing element in the
situation is the fact that the four year
vaudeville performance. the election of
president. might cause n little caution
until the issues are finally settled"

Dave Hirsch, who has been bailif Of
Judge Johannes Kopelkes court ever
since the court was created, has re-
signed to take the management of the
Lion store clothing department.
Hirsch will take the place that was
made vacant as a result of the resigna-
ton of Dave Lederer. He has had con-
siderable experience in the clothing
business and 1t is believed that his
large acquaintance in Hammond Will

Situation serfoua.

Miss Virginia Brooks objected to the
appointed of men whom she declared
were members of the old crooked po-
litical ring on the committee to draw
up the ordinances of the village.
Trustee Murray said, ut won't do
you any good to object, we will do as
we please, anyway.
If the crowd had had a leader 1t is
certain that 1t was in the proper temper
to have caused serious trouble in spite
of the police force. A leader was all
that was needed and the serious side
of the situation Is the fact that before
this matter is settled a leader may de-
velop and there is likely to be a serious
riot

RIOTOUS SESSION OF
THE CITY BOARD
tcontinued from Page l.,

Judge Frank Green to draw up set of
city ordinances. Whether this action
was taken in good faith or whether 1t
was merely a technical evasion of the
ordre of the court remains TO be seen.
1t is understood that an appeal has
been taken from the mandate of the
court that the election be held. Some
authorities say that the village board
must go ahead and hold the election
any way and others say that no ac-
tion can be taken by the board until the
appeal is decided.
Village Unprotected.
In anticipation of trouble Captain
Barnie Johnson of the police force had
every man on the force in the hall. The
village was left unprotected and might
easily have been plundered by thieves
while Johnson had the officers protect
| ing his friends on the village board.
When the resolution was presented
! authorizing johnson to cut the wires
of the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric
! CO., John Zaletta shouted Were pay
| ing for the lights and we want them. .
| Barnie Johnson saw that trouble was
starting and he shouted to one of his
officers. Arrest that man" Zaletta was
/ hustled out of the council chamber and
the rest of the citizens were awed.
President John Hessler, the president
/ of the board, in the course of some re-
marks. said that Miss Virginia Brooks
had stolen $4,000 from the village.
Defed by Miss Brooks.
I'll make you prove that inside OF
! twenty-four hours shouted Miss
Brooks. Just then officer Okray came
over to the young woman, and assum-
ing threatening attitude, said, shut
/ up or I'll arrest YOU"
Henry C. Wolfe one of Miss Brooks
adherents, said, GO on and talk, they
can't stop YOU" and Okray went over
and threatened him with arrest. Wolfe
insisted on his right to free speech il
j America.
Trustee Giczewski and Murray got
into a heated argument over the ques-
| ton as to whether Judge Frank Greer
should be kept on the village pay rol
as an inspector. They called each 9th.
