SERVICE
ROUTED

The South Shore Interurban railway
yesterday began TO operate its through
express service between Gary and Chi
cago. Intermediate points such as
Calumet, East Chicago and Hammond
also benefit by the new arrangement.
Under the old system South Shore cars
went as far Pullman, where connec :
tions were made with the Illinois Cen
trail suburban service, but under the
new arrangement the. Gary express
trains will be hauled directly into the
Randolph street depot.
Yesterday the South Shore also
changed it's time schedule, which
supersedes the summer schedule issu-
ed on May 5. Another new ruling of
the company is that ali passengers
boarding a train at a station where
there is a ticket agent must first pro-
cure a ticket.

room No. l. tonight, for the purpose of
taking up a number Of matters of inn
portance. The campaign for members
which DR. j. T. Clark was to inaugurate
today was an absolute failure, for the
reason that no one turned out to take
part in the campaign for members.
This is taken to be a vindication of
the action of the sponsors of the move
ment in employing outsiders to initiate
the campaign for new members some
time back.
1t is all the proof that is needed to
demonstrate that while the business
men of the community may think they
can put on a campaign of this kind
