Recorder Jones Has Some
Political Suggestions to
Make Today.

Herbert E. Jones, who relinQuishes
the office of recorder the 1st of Janu-
ary, was in Hammond today and said
that he would remain a resident of
Crown Point just as Albert Mack 2nd
other county officials have done fol-
lowing their retirement from office
Jones is one of the directors of the
it is understood that he is going to
spend most of his time working in the
interests of this company
Jones was interviewed on the po1fti-
cal situation and said. They have been
talking about us bull moosers and the
republicans getting together.
Il think 1t is possible to amalga-
mate the two branches of the party
along progressive lines. l mean local
progressive lines. We can forget about
Roosevelt. but we were opposed to a
few men making the nominations for
county Offices and debating things as
they have been doing
Il would suggest that some of the
more progressive of the republica ms
and some of the more conservative of
the progressives get together and have
a real republican love feast. I voted
for most of the candidates on the res
publican county ticket. and l knoAv
that I would be in favor of a reunion
of the two factions of the republican
party along the lines of the rule of the
majority.

Contractor j. NJ. McClay says that all
OF his work is far enough advanced so
that he would not care If zero weather
came tomorrow. He says that he is
not yet quite through with the work on
the little store building on Oakley av-
enue, next to the old Dobin corner,
but that he can do all that remains to
be done in bitter cold weather
He says that he has the foundation of
the Catholic school building in West
Hammond in and will be able to go for
war with the work early next spring.
John Wesley Reed. who has the con-
tract to build the large addition to the
store of the E. C. Minas Co. says that
with the aid of salamanders, he will
be able to go ahead with the work of
laying the reinforced concrete floors
of the building. AS soon as a floor is
completed it is enclosed. as salamand-
ers keep the interior warm. He hopes
to have the building completed before
spring.
Reed has been building two school
houses in East Chicago. One is the
$4,000 Garfield school Al East Chicago.
which will be completed in a week and
will be occupied after the holidays. and
the other is the 100000 James Whit
comb Riley school at Indiana Harbor.

This building illustrates the value of
business property as an investment. 1t
has short narrow stores and will be
only two stories high, and yet it rents
for 1875 a month.
The ground cost $4,000 the buildin s
not to exceed 81 10000 and the invest
ment pays 10 per cent on $4,000. And

fact that the re are several other in

AS long a shack can be made to pay
a return on the investment the shack is
left standing. A number of remodel
ing jobs have been done on the north
side of the street but no substantial
improvements have been made.
The work on St Joseph's Catholic
church has been dropped during the re-
cent cold weather. 1t was hoped that
the building be put under roof before
the snow comes, but 1t now appears
that this will not lie accomplished.

PRAISED BY
LAKE CO.
Sheriff elect Complimented
for Giving Chicago Fistic
Coterie the Hot Foot; Pro
moters Across Line Now
Know a Few Things.

Sheriff Elect Henry Whitaker is be-
ing compiimented on all sides for the
stand he has taken against the inva-
sion of Lake County by irresponsible
fight promoters and following Sheriff
Grants good example
Whitaker himself looks upon the at
titude of certain Chicago sports as moth
ing short of insulting. They presum ed
that they could come down here and
run things to suit themselves just be-
cause they heard that Whitaker was
disposed to be liberal in his views.
Whitaker yesterday defined his stand
in terms that are unmistakable. He
takes the position that
l. He will not oppose boxing staged
by responsible local clubs or fraterni-
ties the prime object of which is not to
put on boxing exhibitions.
2. He will oppose the organization
of any club composed of outsiders or
inspired by Chicago sports and compos-
ed of local men the prime object OF
which is to stage boxing bouts for
profit.
He does not propose to be made the
goat by a lot of fellows who use his
name indiscriminately and report him
to be acauiescing to program of which
he knows nothing
Whitaker says that he knew nothing
of the plans te pull off boxing bouts in
the vicinity of Gary after New Years.
He says emphatically that no bouts will
be pulled off under the circumstances
prevailing.
