GARY DOCTORS TO
CRITICIZE PULMOTER
Lake Co. Medical Society
to Have an Interesting
Meeting.

The Lake County Medical Society
will meet in the rooms of the Univer-
sity Club in Hammond tomorrow even
ing to take up the discussion of the
probability of the pulmotor.
One of the features on the discussion
is expected to be debate on the
efficacy of the pulmotor. 1t was learn
ed in medical circles that DIR. James H
BURY. chief surgeon of the United
States Steel Co. and f. w. Merritt the
house surgeon of the steel companies
hospital at Gary are collaborating on
an article which is to be printed in the
American Medical Journal and is to de-
clar that the pulmotor Is unscientifc,
dangerous and in short a d=n fool
idea
At this meeting of the society in
Hammond there will be a demonstra-
tion of the pulmotor before the society
| and the members of the University
| Club of Hammond.
There will be physicians present who
will defend it and 1t Is expected tha.
/ DR.. Merritt will be present to denounce
it, At least that is the programme.
The pulmotor will be demonstrates ed
| on a living person and will show how
! the machine adjusts itself to the re-
| spiratory needs of the Individual. II
is expected that there will be a large
| attendance at the meeting.
/ The pulmotor Is one that is owned b,
| the Northern Indiana Gas & Electri,
Co. and which has already saved the
lives of a number of Lake County peo
pie.
How the Gary doctors can denounc.
the pulmotor in the face of the recor,
1t has for having actually saved liye
is hard to understand. That is why tn,
meeting tomorrow night promises I.
be we'll attended by doctors from al
over the county.

The company has gathered the facts
and sent them to the eastern office in
Philadelphia for estimates. An an

receipts of these figures the commit

Hammond became a lake port to-
day. This great event was unherald-
ed by the Chamber of Commerce and
not even known by the average bust
ness man of the city. It is the event
that is to make Hammond one of the
greatest cities in Northern Indiana.
For weeks the great sand-sucking
dredge has been eating its way from
the main branch of the Indiana Har-
Dor canal towards Hammond. 1t has
cut cash in the earth zoo feet wide
and FL feet deep.
This morning 1t crossed the
boundary line between Hammond and
East Chicago. Therefore for the first
time in it's history Hammond proper
really located on Manageable waters.
Shortly after the announcement Of
the location of the Northwestern Iron
Co. in Hammond it became known the t

STEVENS
FOUND NOT
GUILTY
Daughter of Decedent In
dignant and Will Appear
Before Cook Co. Grand
Jury in Effort to Have
Stevens Indicted.

William Stevens, arrested on the
charge of being responsible for the
death of NJ L Sonnanstine was ar
raigned before Judge Frank Green in
West Hammond yesterday afternoon at
o'clock and was discharged.
Stevens was represented by Attorneys
Boone and Dyer and the state was
represented by Deputy Prosecuting At
torney Pendarske OF Chicago After the
evidence had been heard the defense
moved to dismiss. The state objected
and said that it had not had the op-
portunity to locate It's witnesses
The principal witness for the state,
a man by the name of Barlog, was not
at the hearing. His testimony before
the coroner. however. was introduced.
Barlog's affidavit was not admitted
While there was some evidence that
Stevens had advanced towards Son
nanstine menacingly just before he fell
and fractured his skull, yet it was the
opinion of the judge that there was not
sufficient evidence against Stevens to
warrant his being bound over.
May he Iadicted--ss,ss.
Mrs Evans, the daughter of SON.
nanstine, was present at the trial and
was indignant because the defendant
had not been bound over She inti-
mated that the matter would not be
permitted to drop and that she would
appear before the next Cook. county
grand jury and seek to have Stevens
indicted.
Stevens has sold out his place and 1t
is understood that ne has determined
never to go into the saloon business
again. Whether or not anything further
will come of the case depends upon
Mr.. and Mrs. Evans, relatives of the
dead man.
1t is reported that they are to start
suit against Stevens bondsmen to re-
cover damages. The Evans believe thai
they did not get fair deal in the pre-
, liminary hearing yesterday.
There was not one witness for the
state. who actually saw the affair
heard. Charles Kuhns was a witnes:
for the defense. Chief of Police Kulcyb
and one or two of the other officers
testified, but as they did not see the
/ fight their testimony did not have an,
bearing on the case.
Barlog Not Present.
Rarlog. the one man whose testi
mony seemed to favor the state. wa:
not present at the trial. 1t is no
known that any effort was made to ge
, him to attend the trial. Mr.. and Mrs
! Evans, relatives of the deceased. knew
! nothing of the case.
The state. handled its case in th
best possible manner. The defens
| moved to dismiss. The state strenu
| ously objected on the ground that 1
! had not been able to get its witnesse
| together, but Judge Green said he di
not think there was enough to warran
him in holding the defendant.
1t is reported that the states attor

at the hearing and present il at tn
next session of the grand jury. Thi
may result in the indictment of Stew

PUBLIC
MARKET
DELAYED

The members of the board of pub
lie works realize that If the city of
Hammond is to have any benefit of a
public market that something ought
to be done soon to establish one, but
at the rate things are moving in this
direction the indications are that 1t
will be several weeks yet before the
market will be in operation
At the last council meeting repre-
sentatives of the East Side Improve
ment association came before the
council to urge the use of a piece of
vacant property at the corner of Calu-
met and Truman avenues in prefer
ence to the vacant property in the
rear of the city hall, which is owned
by the city.
The other location is owned by John
w. Dyer and could be leased for five
years, two years without paying any
rent and the balance of the time at
$50 a month. The matter was refer
red to the board of public works.
While the board has not announced it's
decision yet. it is understood that 1t
prefers the city's site as long as the
public market is to be experiment.
and later If the experiment warrants
1T, to spend more money.
There is delay, however, in get
ting the city hall site. It Is now
filled with material belonging to the
street and water departments which
must be moved to the new site west
of Holman street. opposite the Sims
pIex, for which the city is now ne
gotiating. The deal for this site has
not yet been closed, and was delayed
at the last council meeting because of
lack of unanimous consent of all the
council. The next regular meeting of
the council is scheduled for the first
Tuesday in August.

did not lose time. 1t pressed into sery-
ice the biggest sandsucking dredge In
the world. Day after day this dredgs
has been biting out the bottom of tho
ditch, which marked the route OF the

banks
Great progress has been made and
today after crossing the tracks OF tho

until finally the channel will be con-
structed through to Calumet avenue
Then the work of constructing the
concrete docks OF the Northwestern
Iron Co.. where the iron ore Is to be
unloaded, will begin.
These docks will be similar to those
of the United States Steel Co. at Gary.
They will be enormous affairs where
the iron ore is to be dumped before it
is fed into the blast furnaces.
This Is what 1t means to make Ham
mond a seaport. This is the signfd-
canoe of crossing the corporation line

MUST TAKE Up
HOME BUILDING
Cities of Calumet
Region Face old
Problem

There is not a city in the Calumet
region that is not slumbering when
the great potentialities of the future
are taken into consideration. With
in a few months the region is to be
invaded by hosts of workingmen who
will begin the erection of the half
dozen manufacturing plants that
have bought sites here.
MUST HAVE THEM.
These workingmen must have
homes. The city which provides
them will be the city which will reap
the benefit of this new industrial de-
velopment. The city of Gary is the
only one of the group that has taken
up the question seriously.
The race between Gary. East Chi
caEo and Hammond is close now
that II any one of those cities was to
raise $1,000. 900 for the building of
homes it would outdistance the other
cities In the growth OF it's population
RIVALRY GOOD.
1t Is we'll that the building of homes
is made a matter of rivalry between
cities. Only in that way can the heads
of the big Industries which have locat-
ed in this region be assured of having
their employees housed. Every bit of
energy and resource should be brought
to bear to force the building of homes

solved. Franchises have been granted
