MEN CONFER
OVER IMPROVED SERVICE

Manager II. c. Green of the Ham
mond, whiting & East Chicago Rail-
way company met a number of the
members OF the Manufacturers associ-
alton 1t the rooms of the University
club last evening and informed them
of his tentative plans for improving the
service in Hammond.
Green's proposition did not come up
to the expectations of the members of
the association. and another confer
ence was arranged for the early part
of next week.
The sum and substance of Green's
proposal was that his company would
agree to install a ten-minute service
on all existing lines during the rush
hours; that is. three hours in the morn
ing and three hours in the evening.
Green further agreed to extend the
time of the twenty minute service un-
til 10 o'clock at night or possibly lat
err
The project of city loop service was
turned down by him as being imprac-
tical at the present time He said he
did not believe that the patrons of the
East Chicago and South Chicago lines
would stand for being transferred to

FINDING OF CAVE
MAY UNEARTH CROOKS

East Chicago boys yesterday discov-
cred a large cave across the canal
from the Interstate mill and it is be-
lieved that through the discovery the
police will be able to arrest the trio
who recently held UP and robbed Steve
Simko and a companion on the canal
bridge at Chicago avenue. Already
one man has been arrested, the priso-
ner being Nick Horwat who was found
in the cave when the police made thei-
raid.
Nick was the only man In the cave at
the time the police visited IL. but they
are keeping a sharp look out for two
companions whom the prisoner admit
ted were living with him.
The cave looked though it had
been occupied for some time. 1t con-

the city lines on the outskirts of the
city.
While Green did not promise a great
deal. he said that just as soon as con-
ditions warranted he would increase
the period of time covered by the ten
minute service so that eventually there
would be ten-minute service all day
long. with more frequent service DUR
ing rush hours. He said that the com-
pany would continue its policy Of put
ting on .trippers'' whenever there was
demand for them.
1t is understood that Mr.. Green was
informed by the manufacturers that
the increased service he proposed
would not begin to meet the demands
of tho people for better service He
was informed that failure TO install
the city loop service would make 1t im-
possible to solve the question of get
ting from one part of the city to an-
other
The conferrees were as far from ar
irving at compromise at the end OF
the session they were at the Begin
ming. and it was finally decided to hold
another meeting the early part of next
week
