What might have been a serious
automobile accident was averted last
night when DR.. H. J. White ran his
machine into the curbing to keep from
hitting a large touring car.
DIR. White was making a call and
was driving east on Sibley street when
he met a large touring car driving
north on Oakley avenue. On account of
the building at the corner OF Sibley
and Oakley neither machine was able
to see until they were almost on top of
each other.
Seeing no other way to avert a COL
lision DR.. White turned his car into
the curbing, sma shing the car up con-
siderably. i The other machine did not
stop and soon as they saw DIR.

did not know this morning whether it
was a Hammond car or a Chicago ma

this morning was that one machine was
no more to blame than the other and
is consoling himself by thinking lit

HAMMOND CITIZENS
DEPRIVED OF WATER
Conditions in West Ham
mond Approached Peril
Gus State.

Another wall went up from the water
famished residents this morning be-
cause of lack of water. For a number
of hours it was impossible to draw
water from the faucets on the second
floor. and in many places there was
no water on the first floor. In West
Hammond conditions are still worse.
The village has only four inch mains
and In the outlying districts it is out
of the question there to get water dur
ing the day time. West Hammond gets
its supply from Hammond After the
midnight hour when Hammond is
asleep many of the West Hammond
residents rise from their slumbers to
put away supply of water for the
following day.
The extraordinary lack of the water
this morning was due to a partial
breakdown of one of the pumps at the
pumping station. The pumps are be-
ing run day and night at nearly full
capacity During the month of June
the average daily capacity of the pumps
was eight and a half million gallons of
water The new pump which has been
ordered but which is far from installa-
ton as yet will have a daily capacity of
fifteen million gallons.

10 AUTOS SECURED FOR
ANNUAL JOY RIDE
Chicken Dinner at Cedar
Point Is the Lure For
University Men.

Ten automobiles have been promised
for the third annual joy ride of the
University Stub to Cedar Lake. 1t is
expected that this number will be
increased to 10 before tomorrow.
In view OF the fact that a larger
number of acceptances have been re-
ceived than ever before it is expected
that at least Is automobiles will make
the trip.
A number of prospective members
have been invited and will go as the
guests of the club. The dinner will be
held at the Cedar Point hotel this
year.
This is the most beautiful point on
the lake and is much more accessible
by automobile. Jack Haines, the man
ager, has promised to spread a feast
that will be the best the club has ever
had.
The party will leave Hammond at
four O'Clock on Thursday and expects to
be back in Hammond by ten o'clock.
This is by far the most enjoyable out
of doors event of the year and the mem
bers are enthusiastic over the prospects.

ELECTION may NOT CARRY

The West Hammond special election
which is being held today for the pur-
pose of changing the village form of
government to that of city is a quiet
one.
At noon today only $50 votes had
been cast. The law requires that at
least a majority of the votes cast at
the last general election are necessary
to the success of the city plan.
This means that over $50 votes will
have to be cast in favor of the city
plan or II will not carry. The indif-
ference OF the voter seems likely to de-
eide the issue against the city.
The people OF West Hammond have
already voted twice on the city PROPOSE
tion and each time 1t has been defeated
by the connivance of those who opposed
making the village a city.
