The newness of the law. and the fact
that the voters have two more oppor-

KENwooD AVE. OPEN

The board of public works of Ham
mond today took up the matter of the
opening of Kenwood avenue from Hoh-
man street across the Monon railroad
tracks to the point where it is now
opened through the Franklin addition.
Roscoe E. Woods. the president of
the Hammond & Suburban Realty COM
pany appeared before the board with
Mr. George Rickords, of the Chicago IT,
tie & Trust company, who owns large
amount of the benefited property. and
Mr. Rickords said that he would bear
his share of the expense of the i'm
provement
Mr. Rickords' holdings, together with
that of the Hammono & Suburban Real
ty company. gives the petitioners for
the opening a vast majority of the
property that is affected by the OPEN
ing.
This will make Kenwood avenue the
most important east and west thor
oughfare between Calumet and hoh-
man streets. south of Conkey avenue.
1t will create new routes of travel and
will be a progressive step in corrective
city building.
The few property owners who viii be
damaged by the Improvement will re-
ceive damages in proportion to their
losses. A number of them have already
/, signiffed their willingness to see the
Improvement made.
Mr.. Rickords is one of the few nom
resident property owners who has the
true spirit of progress. He never COM
plains of assessments for improve
ments. although he has had to pay
large sums into the city treasury, and
he stands ready at all times to help
out in a matter of this kind.
The work that has been taken up by
the Hammond & Suburban Realty COM
pany is but one of the many improve
ments that viii in time change the en-
tire character of the south side and
make 1t one of the most desirable
places of residence in the entire region.

COURT NOT
YET RULED
ON INJUNCTION

The court has not yet ruled on the
injunction case filed by Joseph Simp-
son of East Chicago to restrain the
chief of police from interfering with
the fight which is scheduled to be pull
ed off there.
II is said that an understanding has
been reached by which the fight is to
go on and that the chief of police has
agreed not to make any arrests until
after the fight when the principals
will be arrested and fined.
The truth of this report could not be
determined today. At any rate there
seems to be no effort on the part of
the promoters of the fight to force the
injunction case to trial as they might
have done had they been afraid OF any
interference.

CIVIC CLUBS QUARTERS
AROUSE DISCUSSION

Club Rooms Is Opposed.

There will be a meeting of the d.
rectors of the Hammond Chamber OF
Commerce. in room No. l of the Lake

action on a number of matters
Attorney Jesse e. Wilson has pre-
pared the Incorporation papers. and
they will be sent to Indianapolis at
once. 1t is expected that the new civic
organization will be a corporation by
the time the next meeting of the direc-
tors is held.
The committee which was to take up
the question of new quarters is expect
ed to report. This committee is max
ing an effort to effect an arrangement
by which the Chamber of Commerce
and the University club may use the
University club rooms jointly.
The proposition is not meeting with
the approval of the members of the
University club. however, and it is not
believed that the deal can be consum-
mated.
Opposition Encountered.
The radically different character of
the two organizations leads many OF
the members of the University club to
believe that such an arrangements
would be impossible.
The University club is purely a So
cial organization and exists for its So
cial advantages alone. The Chamber
of Commerce. on the other hand. is q
civic organization which makes the So
cial feature a secondary consideration.
1t is understood that the members of
the University club are to have a gem
eral meeting next Saturday. at which

PULMOTER
SAvESF|RST
LIFE HERE

The pulmotor. the wonderful little
life-saving device in cases of asphyxia-
ton, was put to its first test yesterday
afternoon in Hammond in the case of
Frank Woszluski, laborer residing on
Barring avenue. East Chicago, and en-
ployed by the Northern Indiana Gas
q Electric company. BY a strange
coincidence the machine which is
owned by the Northern Indiana Gas
& Electric Light company, was. first
put to the test on one of its own en-
ployes. His life was saved, and every
thing that has been said about the
wonderful invention, which came into
use only recently, has been substanti-
ated.
Overcome by GAS.
Woszluski and a number of fellow
workers were engaged in digging up a
leaking gas pipe in Morton court, near
the Hotel Carleton. All al once it was
noticed that Woszluski was overcome
by the escaping gas. He became un-
conscious and all efforts TO revive in
the ordinary way proved of little use.
John Kamradt, one Of the company's
officers, happened to drive by at this
time. and he ordered the man placed
In his rig Woszluski was taken to
the office of DR.. Fox, where the pull
motor awaited him. Apparently he was
too weak to breathe and only at long
intervals did he show any signs of life
by berathing.
The pulmotor was applied by Messrs.
Oltz and Poyser of the gas company,
and after five minutes work woszluski
opened his eyes as though awakening
from deep sleep. He turned over on
his side to continue his sleep, and as
more oxygen was forced into his lungs
he regained his strength.
Works Automatically.
The puimotor has a supply of oxygen
and works with a double action, caus-
ing the lungs to inhale and exhale,
working automatically so that just
enough oxygen for any sized lung is
supplied
In the case of Woszluski it was
necessary only to give him the oxygen
furgs- f1avtr.gs & .Beeff stfff strunr
enough to exhale.
|. After an hours work Woszluski was
strong enough to go home alone, and he
is expected to be back TO work in q
day or two.
The Northern Indiana Gas & Electric
Co. bought the pulmotor purposely as
| protection and safeguard for the
public.
