The peace convention to Mr.. Watson
ME- slaton's friends during Tuesday
and Tuesday night apparently having
faiIod to develop a completely satisfac-
4orv situation. former Gov. John M.
.claton wso as a candidate to succeed
Gov Joseph NJ. Brown, called upon
Thomas E. Watson in the latter's
rooms at the Kimball, Wednesday
morning. and at 10 o'clock was closet
ed with him.
Mr.. Slatons arrival at the hotel was
, notable development of the morning
His rooms at the Aragon, reserved
NV him for the reception of his friends
among the delegates, were abandoned
by him for the Kimball lobby
For while he circulated around
among his friends in the lobby, shak
ing hands and exchanging greetings.
Then he disappeared, and was seen
moment or two later as he entered the
rooms of Mr.. Watson on the second
floor
Since the break between Mr. Watson
and those whom Mr.. Watson has dub
bed the city politicians" has grown
more and more radical Mr.. Slaton's
friends have been worried, fearing that
his candidacy would go down to ruin
with the opposition in case Mr.. Wat
son avaied himself of the victory that
seemed to approach him more and
more closely with each hour. Some OF
Mr. Slatons friends held a conference
in Luther z. Rosser's law office, Tues
day, to agree upon measures for the
pacifcation of Mr.. Watson at least so
lar as Mr. Slaton was concerned. These
same friends, represented later in con-
terences, dealing with the situation
more broadly, declined to consent to

FISH USED TO MAKE FERTIL.
IZER AS MEAT PRICES SOAR

New York, June 3.-While the cost
of living is mounting materially and
beef is bringing civil war prices, tons
of fresh food fish are being shipped
daily from Fulton market, the head
quarters of the New York fish trade.
to be made into fertilizer. On some
days more than 200 barrels of fish
have been destroyed-enough to sup
ply 10000 meals.
Wholesale dealers say they have to
destroy the fish because the public ap-
parently is afraid to buy at low,
prices.

GATOR SWINS DAILY

Such is Story Coming From
Wells Mill

Americus fishermen who go daily to
Wells Mill to enjoy the sport are not
deferred by the presence of a large
alligator, evidently an old settler. The
gator is said to be twelve or fourteen
feet long and swims lazily across the
pond every day in full view of the
fishermen lining the banks, several OF
whom have shot at him, but without
effect

forty-foot county pavement. and Calu
met avenue. which the farmers con-
slider equally as important as Holman
street, Is to have only a twenty-four
foot pavement. Anybody in North town
ship is ready to agree with the farmers
that they are right in their conten-
lions regarding the width, but the
board of public works of Hammond
tells them they must take their griev-
ance to the county commissioners and
not to the city. The additional pave
men could be secured in one of three
ways The farmers could pay for it
themselves, as they the ones that
would be most directly benefited, or the
city of Hammond could pay for it out
of its general fund, or the county COM
missioners, upon the recommendation
of the viewers. could provide 1T. The
latter solution is clearly the logical
/, one, 1t is pointed out, and it is not yet
too late for change of program.
One other solution which phil" Nc
Laughlin suggests, but which of
course was given no consideration by
the city, was that the city release it's
rights on Calumet avenue SO that the
street would come under the jurisdic-
ton of the township. and that a forty
foot street could then be provided.

There are many children in the schools

of the state law, but with insufficient

Phil Mclaughlin. the mayor of
Saxony. accompanied by a neighbour
hood constituency representing Ham
mond's rural suburban life, appeared
before the board of public works this
morning with a grievance
The farmers want forty-foot pave
ment on Calumet avenue as far as the
Little Calumet river instead of the pro-
posed twentyfour-foot pavement, which
the county commissioners have decid-
ed upon. While Calumet avenue is q
county road and its Improvement rests
in the hands of the commissioners, the
farmers nevertheless look to the city
for redress.
They look to the city, because some
time ago the city took possession of
Calumet avenue. as far as the river,
annexed it in fact, city property.
This procedure cost the city in the
neighborhood of $1,000 and this step
was taken to protect the city and the
farming community against designing
franchise seekers. Similar steps were
taken with Holman street which be-
came annexed city property as far as
the Little Calumet river.
Point to Holman Street.
Now this is the fly in the farmers
ointment: Holman street today has a

Military training in America is very
deficient was the remark recently
made by an Eng1ishman. He was not
competent critic because he had just
arrived in America and consequently
was not speaking from Observation but
from the preconceived notion that
seems to prevail abroad very generally.
He merely voiced the sentiment of that
vast population in English which is
thoroughly convinced that nowhere
under the sun is there to be found
system of military training quite as
admirable as that in the tight little
island. His remark was too premature.
because If he had travelled and seen
more of America, he would not have
made 1t. He probably would have
learned what all travellers realize:
namely, that the longer they sojourn
in any particular country the less they
have to say about 1T, because with each
succeeding day of observation they
realize they have much to unlearn and
that many of their first impressions
were entirely wrong. Strange as 1t may
seem, they usually admit that they do
not know as much about America after
being here one year as they think they
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1912-12-30

know after being on these shores for
only one week The visitor who made
the afore- mentioned remark was
actly one of this type. His comment
was overheard by Lyman H Howe, who
at once decided on very direct and
practical method of discounting the
prevalent opinion expressed by the
Englishman. He dispatched his pho
tographers to Culver, Ind. where
model military training school is To-
Gated. There, amid scenes of most
idyllic beauty they secured elabo
rate series of animated views which
show the methods. tactics, precision,
discipline, sports, activities and equip
ment of a model military training school.
These views prove conclusively that in
stead of military training in America
being deficient it is on the contrary
as Efficient as the training of the best
military institutions in any country in
the world. In fact the perfect drills,
horsenanship, maneuvers, target prac-
tice and other phases of the students
life, depicted from his arrival as a raw
recruit to his graduation as a cadet,
will come as a revelation even to Amer
leans. They will be presented by Mr..
Howe at the Hammond theater tonight.

BLAZE AT WESTERN
GRAIN PRODUCTS

Spontaneous combustion caused
small blaze at the Western Grain
Products company on Durham avenue
this afternoon, causing damage in the
neighborhood of 500. Hammond fire
department No. 1 responded TO the call
and with two leads of hose had the
flames under control in a short time.
The blaze occurred in the separating
department, the sand which is used In
separating the light from the heavy
grain having caused a slight combus-
ton, setting fire to the grain in the
chutes. Most of the damage was
caused by water, the company being
able resume work as soon as the debris
was cleared away.

SAVED, BY JINGO:.
HOWARD AVENUE
President Whitney Prevents
Corporations From Steal
ing Durham Street.

BY prompt and decisive action, Presi-
dent whitney of the Burnham town
board last Saturday saved the COM
munity's most important street, How
ard avenue, to future generations as
priceless heritage
Designing corporations were Just
about to carry out a nice little scheme
to take thirty feet of the eighty-foot
highway when the whole thing was
nipped in the bud To cap the climax.
as far as things have gone, President
Whitney ordered his policemen to ap-
ply their axes to fence posts which
the Kensington Eastern railroad had
set up as their new right of way.
Some Original Record. Lost
Twenty years ago the Chicago Canal
& Dock company dedicated to the town
of Thornton an eighty foot highway
For some reason other the plat was
not recorded in the recorders office.
The records showed little or nothing
of the transaction. Apparently the
people were asleep on their rights and
several weeks ago the original dedica-
tors without mentioning the original
grant informed the Burnham town
board that they had dedicated a fifteen
foot strip to the E., j. & E. railroad
and another fifteen foot strip to the
Kensington and Eastern railroad. these
two strips paralleling Howard avenue.
President Whitney, suspicious OF the
transaction. vetoed the resolution APP
proved by the board with reference t.
the dedication. and began to dig up
what old records he could find.
The Kensington & Eastern, acting
on the theory that possession is nine
