FROM CHARGE
FOR CARRYING VIOLIN
SOUTH DAKOTAN WANTS INTER.
STATE COMMISSION TO PASS
ON THE RATE FROM
LENNON TO WATER
OWN.

Washington, d. C.-Archie Floran
of Watertown, S. d., and the state
OF South Dakota by the state railway
commission complained today before
the Interstate Commerce commission
against the Wells-Fargo Express
company and the United States Elk
press company.
h complaint is based on the fact
that in November, 1911, Floran sent
an %uncrated violin via Wclls-Fargo
line from Lennon to WATERFOWL.
The Wells-Fargo company did not
have a line of its W to Watertown
and instead of transferring the ship
ment to either the Adams or Ameri-
can Express companies at Aberdeen
to be sent to Watertown by the short
est route, it sent the violin to Sioux
Falls and sent it to WATERFOWL via
the United States Express company,
thus eXacting total charges from the
complainant of $2.25.
The Well-Fargo company admitted
~oyercharge and was willing TO scale
it down to $3.50. Floran and the
state railway commission contend
that the S1.S0 rate also is excessive
and unjust and that the rate should
not exceed 20 cents.
A rule of the commission is asked:
The case involves questions that may
arise In settling an important preced-
ent, and especially SO in view of the
recent decision of the Interstate Com
merce commission on express rates.

GETS FAT
FROM TREASURY
Village Board of West Ham
mond Passes Out the
Loot.


The city attorney of Hammond gets
$1,000 year. The village board last
night appropriated $3.50 to Village At
torney Belinski in addition to his regu-
lar salary of 1920 a year, referred the
claim of Attorneys Atwood, Pease &
Locks for $500 fees and Attorney S.
X. Markham for $1,000 fees to the
finance committee of the village board.
So that in spite of the fact that the
village attorney is paid a salary with
in $50 year as large as. the city at
torney of Hammond receives for doing
all of the legal work of the city, the
village board of West Hammond in it's
effort to loot the village treasury be-
fore it retires from office proposes to
allow extra claims for legal fees
amounting to $3.50.
This action was taken at the last SEES
sion of the village board which was
held in the afternoon to prevent. the
people of the village, the citizens who
are vitality concerned in the matter. TO
be present and register a protest.
The extra fee of $3.50 which it is pro-
posed to pay out to Village Attorney
Belinski is his fee for preparing the
new city ordinances. These ordinances
are merely copies of ordinances that
are in effect in other cities the size of

ICE HARVEST IS
READY FOR men
Ice Reaches 7 and 8 Inches
in Thickness in Several
Parts of County.

The ice harvest in Lake county has
begun.
Ice on Wolf lake having reached a
thickness of a little more than seven
inches. William Thompson intends TO
put about ninety or a hudred men to
work "binning" for the G. II. Ham
mond company on Sheffield avenue, to-
morrow morning.
Markers were at work on Wolf lake
this morning, and cutters We're busy
this afternoon.
The ice has hardly reached the re-
quired thickness, but another day or
two of cold weather will freeze it to
the required thickness.
Otto Haehnel who has the Lake
George ice house, says that he will
wait few more days before making
preparations. He says there is plenty
of cold weather in store and that he
is not afraid of a shortage.
At Cedar Lake harvesters are get
ting ready to mark the 1912 crop,
which is said to be of a fine quality
there.

Want $25, 600 for Trip.

AS a result of the failure of con-
ductor on the Chicago. Lake Shore and
South Bend interurban line to stop his
car at Meadow Brook, where it is said
to have been scheduled TO stop. and the
resulting necessity, on the part of
Mary Walstra and Julia Bennett. of
walking four miles to Mineral Springs
three suits in which a total of $4,000
damages is asked have been started
against the company.
In the case of Mary Walstra the
complaint alleges that she was in a
delicate condition at the time. and
the fear of danger and the exhaustion
caused by the long tramp at night re-
suited in a serious illness.
In the case of Thomas Walstra. the
mental anguish caused by his wife's
suffering together with the fact that
she may never recover from the eff :
fects, have resulted in his demanding
$4,000 In DANA ges. In the case of Julia
Bennett the mental suffering and the
physical strain are said to have af-
fected her health. The case was filed
by Attorneys Kennedy and Skunk.

COUNCIL MEETING.

No business was transacted by the
Hammond city council, at the first regu
lar meeting of the year. last night. The
council met with John Kane presiding,
and adjourned before Mayor Smaliey
could get there.
At the suggestion Of Councilman
Hover 1t was decided to instruct the
board of public works to order metal
ceiling for the new pumping station in
stead of the plaster ceiling that would
be put up otherwise.
Councilman Moriarty asked for a
street light at the intersection of Ash
and Gostlin street. The board of pub
lie works ordered the light placed to-
day.

be necessary to have lawyer do this
work.
Atwood. Pease & Locks were employed
as special attorneys by the village
board to defend the village officials
themselves when the citizens attempt
ed to deprive them of their jobs by
mandamus proceedings. by no prece
dent should this bill be foisted on the
village, but the board Is attempting to
do it nevertheless. Atwood. Pease g.
Locks are the same firm which repre-
scented the Interstate CONSTRUCTION Co.
when it attempted to get the village
to build a power line and turn 1t over
to them on the promise of a reduction
OF power rates.
The bill OF s. K. Markham for s1.7oo
was for services in defending the VIII
lage officials who would have been
ousted from office If Markham had not
put up a good stiff fight in their inter-
ests.
And so all during this fight on the
parr of the citizens of West Hammond
to clean up things, the village officials
have been loading them down with the
burden of its defense.
1t is understood that Miss Virginia
Brooks will take action at once to pre-
vent the village from paying out this
morning and she doubts If any OF the
extra bills for fees are valid.

HAS PIG UNDERSTUDY

Whoever heard of a pig as an under
study for an act? J. C. Van Camp, who
has been putting on an act of eNtraor-
binary merit at the Orpheum theatre
Hammond. has a little pig which is the
understudy for the other pigs which
have developed into real actors

stunts They shake hands, dance, pray.
run back and forth between their mas
ter's less and show remarkable vocal
AGILITY.
Now Van Camp has found that it is
the little pigs that are the best actors
Little pigs make a bigger hit with the
audience. So it is necessary to have
one pig constantly in training for the
time when mis- predecessor shall be-
come too big and Is sent back to the
farm.
That accounts for the fact that Van
Camp carries an understudy with him
all the time. He says that pigs all have
about tie same intelligence and that he
can train one as well as another. The
pigs are given a bath every day, and
their little feet are kept properly mani
cured.

Interesting Match.

In one of the most interesting bowl

Hammond bowling league at Cox's al
ieys, last night the Piantistas took
three straight games from the Juniors
by a small margin each game.
The Juniors sprung a surprise last
night by putting a new team into the
field who did some exceptionally good
bowling and gave the Plantistas a hard
tussle to capture each game. The sec

1t starts Alright, But
1t runs smooth enough-that is. for a
second or two after being cranked, then
without warning it betrays its real
character. In its makeup seems TO be
bottled up all feelings of vengeance,
hate, spite and anger which the auto
mobile has felt in The last thirty years.
and with the second plunge of the pis-
ton rod all these feelings seemingly
want TO escape at once. Just to alter
the tune tempo would be the proper
word if speaking of musical instru-
ment. but this is anything but a harp,
it misses fire, and to the person listen
ing closely it then seems, as If 1t were
trying to make up for lost time. No

or crosses the North Holman street

when an unearthly noise is heard in

with a yawn and say, Doc Young and

STORY OF DR.. YOUNG AUTO
READS LIKE FAIRY TALE

This is the story about DIR. A A.
Young of Hammond and the insult to
his automobile Automobile is what
the sales agent called it and so it was
also named in the catalog. What other
people called it and what they say
about ii makes little difference 10 the
professional bone spiicer as long as
they don't say it to his face and in the
presence of the machine. 1t is all right,
however, to say things under these cir
cumstances when the engine is running
for then he can't hear it.
Some people in trying to discuss this
vehicle, do not distinguish between the
noise it makes and its speed and gem
eral reliability, and 1T is this lack of
circumspection on the part of the
would-be critic that is apt to peeve the
otherwise genial doctor who is teach
ing the machine to recite, THE Demon
Rum" 1t was just such a person who
earned the everlasting contempt OF the
owner of the vehicle the other day.
The word vehicle is here~us in It's
broadcast sense and advisedly.
In Class by Itself
As already mentioned before in the
catalog, this vehicle was termed a one
cylinder Brush runabout. in common
parlance a one hunger" Its only coun-
terparts in Hammond are those owned
by DR.. A. J. Graham and Harry Weis.
There is this difference in their ma
chimes, however, that DIR. Graham's re-
ceived a new coat of red paint last
year. while that of Harry Weis' very
frequently jumps like a deer and then
falls into dog trot
On the vehicle, formerly termed an
automobile, and now owned by DIR.

obvious. In the first place it's gone,
and secondly it is not needed. for ii
