MANY INNOVATIONS
IN LAST DIRECTORY
New Wrinkles Calculated to
Improve Phone Service
Materially.

The new Hammond, Indiana Harbor.
Whiting. East Chicago and Lansing
telephone directory has a number of
innovations which are designed to i'm
prove the service in this locality
The most conspicuous change is that
in the numbering by which the party
lines are designated by suffixed letters.
For instance in the case of four party
line the suffixed letters are J, NJ, R,
and w
y. indicates that the phone As No.
2. "R" that it is No. and wv" that it
Is No. A.. In calling for number both
the numerals and the sufhxed letter
must be given.
The new system is expected to i'm
prove the service for the reason that
as soon as the letter ], NJ, r, or w is
added to a number central will know
just what phone is wanted on the party
line.
Another innovation in the new direc-
tory is the question of including the
name of the manager. proprietor or
head man when telephone number
appears under an impersonal name.
For instance. in the case of j. S.
Blackburn & Co. it is very apparent
from the name that. ]. S. Blackmun is
the head of the company and is the
man to ask for in the absence of an
acquaintance in the firm. but a person
calling the Hammond Dairy Co might
not know that Louis Klitzke is the
proprietor.
In the case of firms that have a pri-
vate exchange to all departments the
name of the aflrm head is not given for
the reason that such information NAV
be secured from the switchboard op-
orator
1t is believed that the new system
will prove to be great improvement
over the old one when the public be-
comes accustomed to it and the opera
tors get used to the new numbers

that the state OF Indiana. on the rela-

he had the matter under consideration
and that II a case could be made out
against Schlieker that the proceedings
would be started.
1t Is further reported that Charles
Pitzele has signed the affidavit in this
case. as he did in the case against
Lewis. If Schlieker is ousted 1t will
mean the shattering OF his machine In

If he appeals IT will be so long before
the appeal can be decided that he will

WILL LIKELY
BE ELECTED
Looks AS Though He Will
Be Named to Serve on the
School Board, at Next
Meeting of City Council
Seems Good Choice.

Walter Hammond will probably be
elected by the city council to position
on the school board a week from to-
night. Matters have so shaped them
selves that this now seems to be a
forgone conclusion
1t is understood that the democrats
have caucused on the election of a
member of the board and that Walter
Hammond is their choice. Further
more. there are a number of republic
ans who think that party politics ought
to be eliminated and who have decided
to support Hammond as the most
available man.
Walter Hammond was asked to be-
come a candidate for membership on
the board a year ago when August
Dreesen was elected. but he declined to
run.
Now Enters Rnce.
This year the school city is facing
a crisis. The manner in which the
school board has handled the contract
with the architect and the contractor
in the industrial training school mat
ter has aroused a storm of protest 1t
has led to costly litigation and the de-
lay of much needed Improvement
In this emergency Walter Hammond
has consented to be a candidate for
membership on the board. He will
make the race with the assurance that
he has the support of large number
of the most substantial citizens of the
community
Mr.. Hammond has assured his friends
that no personal considerations have
induced him to become a candidate,
and that his only concern is TO aid the
ar nAr Of ~ vl
the school city of Hammond as good an
administration as possible
In fact, 1t must be apparent to those
who look into the matter that II is
something of a sacrifice for a busy
man of affairs to take a position that
involves such great responsibility and
pays so little in the way of a salary
is Eminently Qualifed-
Walter Hammond is member of one
of the old and respected families OF
Hammond. He is the president of the
Hammond Savings and Trust Co. He is
prominent in a number of social and
fraternal organizations 1t he city. He
was sufficiently interested in the
schools of the city to become a mem
ber of the citizens committee which by
injunction proceedings recently pre-
vented the old board from entering into
a contract with Caldwell & Drake.
Henry Whitaker. the leader of the
minority in the city council, stated this
morning that he has decided to keep
hands off in this fight. He declares
that he has no preference among the
| candidates and proposes TO leave the
entire matter with the other members
of the city council This is taken to
mean that the republican minority in
| the council will not caucus on the mat
ter of the selection of the new mem
| ber of the board.

SCHOOL BOARD WILL
MEET THIS EVENING

The members of the school board will
have a meeting tonight for the purpose
of transacting the regular business of
the board. 1t is understood that the
question of selecting a new site for a
new site for a north side school will be
taken up.
1t Is also possible that the question
of joining in Caldwell & brakes ap-
peal from the decision of Judge Pat
north side school will be taken up.
1t is said that those of the mem
bers Of the board who refused to favor
spending any more money in litigation
have received SO much encouragement
for their stand that the board will
probably stand by its position of few
weeks ago. when it refused to join in
the appeal.
