RULING
MAY HELP
THIS REGION

In view of the fact that the Calumet
region is the center of the car building
industry of tle Chicago district the
information that the interstate COM
merce commission may compel the rail-
roads to replace all of the wooden mall
cars with steel ones will be of interest
Boersianer. in the Chicago Examiner,
has the following to say about the
matter:
"A strong sidelight is thrown on the
matter by the newly ascertained fact
that the commission will order rail-
ways to replace all wooden mail cars
by steel cars after July l.
The change is highly important in
several respects. Firstly. 1t is not like
ly the roads would have been asked to
make such expensive replacement
SO early were they not to be allowed to
increase their charge for freight serv-
ices Secondly. the substitution of
steel for wooden mail cars will keep
the equipment companies busy for a
long time. Thirdly, and most vital OF
all the loss of lives in the postoffice
railway service will ge greatly reduced.
At the same time, railways will incur
fewer indemnity liabilities"

real fact of the matter is that Wagner
appeared in the boxing ring, while

PLENTY OF
TIME To
DISCUSS It

In view of the fact that an additional
judge for Hammond seems certain at
the present time there is some specula-
tion as to whom will be appointed.
City Attorney John Gavit has been
mentioned, but he declares he will not
consider an appointment. The office
will be filled by appointment and it will
be made by Governor Marshall.
Consequently a democrat will be Sc
lected LIE Grand T. Meyer is another
who has been mentioned, and John F.
Reilly is also talked of for the place.
All of these men, however. deplore the
fact that the question as to whom will
be appointed has been raised. They
say the first thing to be done is to get
the extra Judge and then there will be
time enough to talk of man for the
place.

To PUT

WITH HAYES
Hammond Men Plan to
Erect Two Structures
With Common Lobby on
Holman Street Near the
Court House Building.

j. j. Ruff is having sketches drawn
for the new two-stery building which
he proposes TO erect on his property at
the corner of Holman street and
Muenich court next spring.
Ben Hayes is also about to make
arrangements for having sketches
drawn for building on his lot, next to
that owned by Ruff 1t is proposed by
the two men to have a common lobby
to the building in order that the ground
floor space may be saved
1t is expected that the. buildings will
involve $4,000 in these two building
operations.
Ben Hayes expects to devote his
building to store room and office room
purposes. He believes he could fill
the building with lawyers owing to
the close proximity to the court house
and the fact that the building will
have a central location
j. j. Ruff still has a four years
lease the store he now occupies so
it is not for the purpose of supplying
a business location that he is building
the new block.
j He declares that he has a large in
vestment in the lot that is not earning
any money and he is convinced that
by erecting a business block he will
be able to secure enough of return on
the investment to partly pay for the

himself;

tees on organization of courts, H. F.
McCracken, of Gary told the commit
tee that he had the assurance of Gov
ernor Marshall that if the Gary court
bill is passed in its present form he
will not veto it. 1t will be remember
ed that Governor Marshal vetoed the
Gary court bill two years ago after
it had passed both houses Of the
Legislature, and the fear among the
Garyites was that he would do the
same thing this time.
