FARMER MAY
COMP PROMISE

Farmers of North township who are
in the territory which Hammond pro-
poses to annex are said to be a COM
promising spirit, especially those IN
the Hesville district The annexation
suit is to go to trial next Monday be-
fore Judge McMahan at Crown Point.
Hammond wants the territory uncon-
ditionally. Should Hammond lose the
suit, two years would have to elapse
before 1t could make another legal
effort at annexation. Gary or High
lands could begin annexation proceed
ings at once. and the farmers would
have to go through more length litiga-
ton with possibility that they would
be annexed to a community which they
like less well than Hammond
Therefore the compromise has been
suggested In effect 1t is this: Let the
territory in question be annexed, with
the proviso however that the Judgment
go not into effect until two years
hence

WHITING
HAS HORROR
TO RECORD
lSnecial to TIE TrMEs.N

Whiting. Ind June 13.-Supersti-
tions regarding the influences of Fri
day the thirteenth were more firmly
rooted here this morning, when w. s
Atwood a young man of Elkhart was
accidentally killed in a railroad acci-
dent.
Atwood who is not much older than
twenty-one years, was riding the
bumpers on Lake Shore freight train
going toward Chicago. While the train
was moving he tried to get off at One
Hundred and Seventeenth and Sheri-
dan streets and fell under the wheels.
Although his legs were cut and he was
nearly disem bowled he lived for nearly
an hour. He was hurried to the offices
of Drs. Lauer and Hoskins where every
possible relief was given him.
Apparently the young man is about
twenty-one years, and fro mcorres-
pondence found In his clothes it was
presumed that he to have been
married next month. He was fairly
well dressed.
The towerman near the scene of the
accident is authority for the state
ment that he saw another man get off
the train with Atwood. Whether the
two were friends or strangers could not
be established as no trace could be
found of the second man after the ac-
cident.
The inquest will be held on tomor-
row mornig.

PROJECT
DEFEATED
BY ANTS

Major John ID Smalley sat smoking
in his office at the city hall this morn
ing in front of an open door that he
might view the clash of sewer forces
in the adjoining chamber. AS it be-
came evident that the pet plan of his
administration. the project that was to
have been monumental. was being de-
feated by the combined efforts of reac-
tionaries from every party, the execu
tive's genial countenance took
grave and worried look.
Rohde lis Unchanged.
BY refusing to overrule the remon-
strances to the deep sewer system and
carry out the expressed wishes of a
majority of property owners many of
them silent the board of public works
this morning practically killed the
project John Rohde, president of the
board said: las far I am concerned
the board will abide by the petitions
! having the largest number of Names"
He spoke for Messrs Swanton and
Schroeder and against his opinoin of
long standing that the city of Ham
mond must have a deep sewer system to
care for the present and prepare for the
future.
Criticism lis Severe
AS the board of public works has
divine right in the matter it was ex-
pected that 1t would rise to the occa-
sion ON argument has been presented
against the project that cannot be con-
| tradicted or shown as false None
realize this fact more than the mem
bers OF the board and the action this

small Hope Now.

The question of whether a citizen
buying property on contract has a right
to a vote will be decided by the city
attorney. In all probability Attorney
Gavit will find that he has for the
supreme court has held that anyone
owning cemetery lot on contract is a
free holder There is little chance in
that direction for the antis to be de-
feated.
Since the eli tension was granted two
weeks ago the opposition TO the deep
sewer more than doubled. If four or
FIVE hundred of the names are con-
tested and thrown out they will still be
winner by a big margin. The cam
paign of the Chamber of Commerce fell
fiat, though OF good purpose. 1t accom-
plished much, but not enough, and as
the board failed to rise to the occa-
sion the greatly advertised deep sewer
project died in ignominy.
