COURT HA[TS
WORK ON R.R.
CONNECTION

Judge Reiter in the superior court
yesterday afternoon issued tempo
rary restraining order prayed for by
Swift & Co.. through It's attorney. c. b.
Tfnkham, against the Indiana Harbor
Belt railroad.
The Swift Co is opposing the Belt
Co.'S activity to connect the railroad in
the Swift company's property west of
Sheffield avenue. near Wolf Lake, and
the Belt tracks east of Sheffield ave-
nue. on the ground that the railroad
company, while having the lease of the
trackage around Wolf lake. has no
permission to connect them with the
tracks across the street.
The Belt Co. is understood to be get
ting ready to perfect track system
to the Gogebic Iron company at the
foot of Lake George and needs the
connection with the tracks in the Swift
company property.
A force of men which were prepar-
ing to make the connection were
stopped in their work by the restrain
ing order. A hearing on permanent
Injunction will be had next Tuesday.

East Chicago saloonkeeper to nullffy
their citizenship papers on the ground
that they wrongfully represented that
they had not violated the laws of the
state of Indiana by keeping open their
saloons on Sunday
Complaints for the cancellation of
certificates of citizenship were filed
against Dane vukodimovich. Joseph
Michnick and Julian Kolodzinski of
Gary and Peter Sketch of Each Chica-
go. These papers were granted on Oct.
II. 1911.
The cases result from alleged mis-
representations that were made by a
number of saloonkeepers in some
cases. it Is said on the advice of at
torney to the United States naturaliza-
ton examiners following the passage
of the Proctor law containing the pro-
vision that only citizens of the United
States may secure saloon licenses.

FANS SEE
LITTLE HOPE
FOR TEAM

The baseball situation in Hammond
has gloomy aspect. So far. nothing
of Importance has been done to or
ganize club and at present the fans
are on the fence, anxiously awaiting
some good news.
Although the report cannot be yeri-
fed there is some talk of launching a
new baseball organization in AXE coun-
ty in the near future. The talked of
league will be an eight club organiza-
ton. composed of four northern Indi-
ana teams, Hammond. Gary, Michigan
City, South Bend and four unpicked
clubs from Illinois.
II, the new project goes through an
effort will be made to play week day
and Sunday games. enabling the new
organization to play three game
series. While Hammond is without a
baseball park, 1t Is possible that the
Whiting park at Robertsdale may be
leased.
In speaking of the baseball situation,
Walter Sohl who managed the Ham
mond club last season said. From
what I have learned, prospects do not
look very bright for team this year.
AS in other towns and cities. the bust
ness men and fans will have to lend
their support to the club there will
be no team. There is no need for me
to say that the Hammond club was q
losing proposition all the way through
last season. We broke about even on
our own grounds, but when we played
out of town, went way into the
hole. I have been asked to put an
other team into the field this year. but
/ would not manage another club I'M
der any consideration"
