IRVING SCHOOL TO HAVE
A SS5. 900 ADDITION
Board of Education so Votes
at Meeting Held Last
Night.

The Hammond school board at its
meeting held last Tuesday evening vot-
ed to build an addition TO the irving
school building on the north side, to
COST in the neighborhood of $4,000.
The plans for. sile- new sadSitfon have
been drawn by Architect Mac Turner of
Hammond. The new addition TO the
school is badly needed on account of
the great Increase in the population of
the north side during the past few
years.
The Irving school building has proved
school children of the neighborhood.
The contract for the new addition to
this building will be let on May IL
In the basement there will be rooms
for manual training, domestic science
and gymnasium. There win be eight
roooms on the first and second fooors
and on the third floor there will be an
auditorium that will seat between $50
and 700 persons.
The school board recently purchased
all of the property in the block bound
ed by Hoffman street. Pine street, Oak
street and Chicago avenue. excepting
the Chicago avenue frontage.
This will give the school city a fine
piece of property for school and play
ground purposes. The new building
will be completed and ready for occu-
pancy this fall.

AN OVERFLOW
DANCE; POLICE
ARE HAPPY

Such an enormous crowd attended the
police pension fund ball at the Orphe-
um hall last night that it was found
necessary to secure Longs hall, on the
opposite side of state street, in order
to take care of the throng. Never be-
fore in the history of any one dance
in Hammond has any dance hall been
found SO inadequate. and it is estimated
that fully 500 people attended. At 3
o'clock the Orpheum hall was jammed
once secured and the balance of the
crowd went to Longs hall. which was
also packed to its capacity
About $50 o'clock the grand march
was led by Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Aust
gen. under the direction of Prof. De
Prong of the Orpheum hall. About $50
couples took part. which was one of
the features of the dance. Mr.. and Mrs.
Austgen then went to Longs hall
where like amount of couples took
part.
The music was furnished -by Elster' 5
orchestra, and the couples dances until
nearly 3 o'clock this morning. In all
the first annual ball of the police pen
sion fund proved great success. and
the committees in charge are receiving
many compliments in the orderly way

REFORMER MISQUOTED
IN NEWSPAPERS
Said Nothing Detrimental
to Her Many Polish
Friends.

Miss Virginia Brooks returned from
Indianapolis this morning much pleased
with the hospitable reception that had
been accorded her by the indianapolis
people on the occasion of her visit
there. On Tuesday night she delivered
an address at the woman's suffrage
mass meeting. and yesterday she was
the guest of Dr. Hannah NJ Graham,
president OF the Equal Suffrage asso-
citation, under whose auspices she
spoke.
Her visit to the state capital caused
Miss Brooks btu one regret which
was due TO a misunderstanding of one
of her statements in her address. and
which has been published.
She was quoted as saying that the
foreigners of West Hammond are zig
norant and that they do not understand
our language, customs and laws"
whereas in fact she said that they were
ignorant with respect to our laws and
customs" a phraseology which puts her
statement in altogether another light
Il would not for anything be under
stood as saying anything sighting
about Polish friends in West Ham
mond," said Miss Brooks this morn
ing. Il thirk the world of them. and
have had hard work to make them
understand me and TO show them that
consider their interests my interests"
In one of the Indianapolis papers
this morning Miss Brooks is said to
be contemplating the study of law next
fall and that she had already enrolled
in one of the indianapolis law schools.
Miss Brooks said to TINES repre-
sentative this morning that in company
with DR.. Graham. she had visited a
law school and that she discussed the
advantages of having a legal education,
but that II had not entered her mind
to enroll at Indianapolis
