REAL ESTATE SLOW.

The principal real estate activity of
the week has been the negotiations
that have been carried on for the sale
of several tracts of acreage to manu-
featuring concerns
These deals have been carried on by
Gostlin. Meyn & Co. and will result in
the locating of at least two small con-
Germs In Hammond. 1t is the first real
results that have been attained
through the creation or a new factory
district in Hammond.
There have been desultory sales of
residential property mostly improved,
however The feature of the market
continues to be the interest in East
State street real estate
In fact, the eyes of the investor are
being turned towards the entire east
ern section of the city. There it is
expected there will be the greatest de-
velopment of the future.

Lengthy Affair; Green
Is Absolved.

On the question whether or not Geo
the management of the Orpheum the
atre to furnish the orchestra music be-
fore Barnie Young, leader of the out
going orchestra, had been given the
two weeks notice stipulated in his con-
tract with the management, the majorf-
ty of the board of directors of the mu-
sicians in executive session last night,
after long arguments decided that
Young could have no recourse on Green
musicians union. Both Young and
Green are members of the union, Young
being one OF the directors, although he
did not sit in his own case. The major
ity of the committee decided that there
was not sufficient evidence to show that
the Orpheum management had violated
its contract with Young, or that Green
entering into a contract before his pre-
decessor had been notified OF the man
agement's intention
Young pleaded his own case before
the committee. while Green, who was
present, was represented by Attorney
Walter Hardy. The hearing lasted until
8 o'clock this morning and was held in
building
Barnie Young plays his last engage
ment tomorrow evening at the Or
pheum while his successor takes charge
on the following day.

IS
ON WATCH
FOR THEM
Attempts Made by Demi-
Monde to Gain Foothold
in Hammond Is Thwarted
by the Police, Who Get
Strict Orders from Chief.

Naturally. with the closing of the
resorts In West Hammond. 1t was ex-
pected that there would be an inva-
sion of Hammond by the women of the
scarlet letter.
Accordingly. Chief of Police Peter
Austgen was asked II he had discover
ed any indications of an attempt on
the part of these people to get foot
hold in Hammond.
Yes, they attempted to invade
Hammond" said Austgen, but we
have been watching things so closely
that they have not been able to get a
foothold"
Three of them rentec rooms In a
place on Sibley street. They would
entice men to these rooms. put the po-
lice got next to them. Complaint was
made to the people who rented to
them only to find that they. too. had
discovered the character of their
roomers and had ordered them to
leave.
Certain rooming places along the
north side of Central park in Ham
mond have been under police surveil-
lance for years These places have
always been rented by shiftless
class of people and it was natural
that there should be some irregulari-
ties. One place in particular was the
rooms over the laundry there. These
rooms are now vacant.
Chief Austgen said that he might be
quoted as saying that there would be
no prostitution in Hammond while ne
is chief of police. He said that It was
difficult to put stop to street walk
ing. but that the police were doing all
they could along that line
In regard to the report that there
are slot machines in Hammond. Chief
Austgen said that he is not aware of
the fact If there is. He declared,
however that the first attempt that
was made to install them in this city
would result in arrests and the confis-
cation of the property.

ICE MAN SKIPS OUT.

Harry Lawson, q peddler for the
Hammond Pure Ice company skipped
out yesterday afternoon with about
$25 OF the company's money. when he
learned that he was about to be ar
rested for selling short weight His
game was to sell short weight to GUS
toners and to keep the money for the
surplus ice. In addition to doing this
he kept the money he collected on
four tons of Ice yesterday. In one
case he tried to charge customer for
fourteen hundred pounds of ice when
In fact he had only delivered three
hundred.
The company itself does not counte-
nance such q policy nnd IN fact gives
the peddlers more Ice than 1t charges
them with. so that they should not
run short on their weights.
City Sealer Frank O'Rourke was on
Lawson's trail, but the crook made
his escape before the warrant for his
arrest could be served.
