Indiana
SOCIETY
OUTING
City of Hammond This Year
May Play Host to Notable
Organization; Ambitious
Project Suggested by G..
w. Hotchkiss.

The city of Hammond may have the
opportunity TO entertain the Indiana
Society of Chicago on the occasion OF
its annual summer outing. if the MEM
bers of the board of directors take
kindly to the suggestion that has been
made by Charles w. Hotchkiss. a di-
rector of the society.
Hotchkiss has indicated to a number
of friends that he thought that the
people of Hammond, with the splendid
facilities offered by their new country
club. could afford the Indiana society
an outing that would compare favor
ably with those of other summers.
Acting this suggestion. which was
conveyed to Hammond a few davs ago
by Walter j. Riley. secretary of the
Calumet Kennedy Land company A.
NJ. Turn. has written letter to Will
liam b. Austin, the president of the
Indiana society, in which a tentative
proposition is submitted for the con-
sideration of that body.
Plan Grand Time.
This proposition includes the follow
ing features:
/. A train de luxe will leave Chi
cago on the Monon railroad Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock 1t will arrive

will be the feature of the afternoon
session. Binyon's famous fried chick

is not the only one, as others have
been received approaching it.
VIII BE Self-SuppOrting.
When some of the property owners
in the neighborhood realized some
time ago that that unless more stock
were purchased that the plans would
have to be abandoned many of them
responded promptly with liberal SUBJ
scriptonS.
Twenty-Five thousand dollar assets
are now in sight, and with this much
the fifty thousand dollar building can
be undertaken. Men like Carl Bauer,
Frank Betz and a score of others who
are pushing this worthy project as q
matter of civic pride feel that as soon
as the clubhouse can be used it will
not only be self-supporting. but will
be paying investment. From q city
wide standpoint the convention hall
having q seating capacity of $500 per-
sons will be the most important, while
the members will have the advantages
of elegant club accommodations, which
will be open only to the members and
their guests. The standard is to be
such that membership will be deemed
desirable and an honor.

night at the meeting OF the board of

posed German clubhouse is practically
assured. Stock subscriptions to the
extent of 200 shares, worth $4,000,

So enthusiastic were some of the
subscribers that they agreed to take
their stock only on condition that the

tract for the excavation of the space

YOUNG WOMAN FOUND
In GAS-FILLED ROOM
Revived at Hospital, She Says Sep

Her Unhappy.

Mrs Gertrude Hodson, twenty-five
years old. of 726 Tenth Street Northwest
yesterday afternoon was found in a gas
filed room.
4 boarder in the house detected the
odor and broke open the door. DR.. Will
lam Carr responded from Emergency
Hospital in an ambulance and had the
woman sent to the hospital, where, after
regaining consciousness, she said she was
unhappy because she and her husband
had separated.
Shortly after o'clock Mrs Bertha
Krahn, forty-five years old. of 1JO6 d
Street Southeast, attempted to swallow
the contents OF bottle Of carbolic acid
and creosote, according TO the police.
Her daughter came upon her just as she
was placing the bottle to her lips and
succeeded in knocking It from her hand
before she had swallowed more than a
few drops. She was rushed to Casualty
Hospital for treatment.
Mrs. Evelyn Kern, said to be from
Philadelphia, died at Emergency Hos
pital yesterday from the effects of BIZ

days ago. while registered at hotel, she

Examination for Postmasters.

Provided the specific item in the
deficiency appropriation bill passes the
House, examinations are to be held be-
fore the Civil Service Commission for
fourth class postmasters. The salary
is from $40 to SI,2oo a year. Such
Offices used to be regarded by the poll
ticians of the dominant party as the
spoils of victory. President Taft placed
the fourth class postmasters under the
civil service rules, but complaints that
efficiency was not increased continue
to be made Incumbents as we'll as
aspirants may enter the contest and the
man with the highest grade will get
the job.
1t is, of course, desirable to have
postmssters of every class chosen for
merit. Often man of influence in a
small town gets the postal job, but lets
some employe discharge the duties of
his Office. Thus the fourth class post
masterships have crippled the mail
service in some parts of the country.
The examination will be designed to
get the best man under the circum-
stances. This is a welcome reform.

Lord Haldane and West Point.

There appears to be no good reason
why Lord Haldane, the British Chan
cellor, should not be invited to inspect
our Military Academy. True, he is
Lord Chancellor of Great Britain now,
but there was a time when he was
only a world famous lawyer Before
his elevation TO the "woolSack" he
was Secretary OF War, and what is
more, it was he who framed the reor-
ganization plan under which the Brit
ish army is working today. Above all,
Lord Haldane is responsible for the
creation of the so-called Territorial
forces, whose efficiency and usefulness
in critical times are becoming appar-
ent more and more to the British mill
tary leaders.
Another thing. They have nothing
quite corresponding 10 West Point in
Great Britain. The noble Lord may
gather an idea that may be available
to the British war Office.
Lord Haldane IS not only a leading
lawyer, a fine states economist and
militarist; he is pre-eminently a
scholar. By rights a national conven-
ton OF philosophers should be assem-
bled in his honor. As an exponent of
the teachings Of the famous German
philosopher, Hegel, he would be prob
ably ahead of our native scholars
Lord Haldane is a very intimate and
highly esteemed friend Of the Kaiser.
and he understands the workings of
the mind OF his imperial ex-fellow-
student perhaps better and appreciates
the efforts of Emperor William better
than any one else in the world.

The Value of Competition.

The Navy Department has let a
contract for 5000 tons of armor plate
to a Pittsburgh manufacturer at al
most $97 a ton less than the price
heretofore exacted by the steel manu-
facturers. This means a saving of
SO per cent from the figure paid the
Carnegie Steel Company, the only
other bidder.
How the bidding was formerly
manipulated was thus: The steel
makers quoted the same price and this
uniformity among the bidders caused
the contract to be divided among all.
Such division was satisfactory to the
manufacturers for the mills got their
own prices.
That the present change in the man.
ner of bidding is due to the agitation
for a government armor plate factory
seems obvious. European governments
are manufacturing their own armor
plates at great saving, and Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels has recon-
mended to the Senate to start a Con-
gressional investigation of the sub
ject.
The matter seems plain enough
without any investigation. The Pitts
burgh company which got the contract
cut its bid on the one job nearly
$4,000 under the scale of previous
prices. That firm, like all others, is
doing business for money, and as it
came down $4,000 on the present
contract, former prices obviously were
too high.
This ought to suffice. The govern
ment should not only retain the ad-
vantage gained over the steel manu-
facturers; it should follow it up, sift
the matter to the bottom and go into
the business to save still more if pos
sible.

Another Opportunity to Help.

Two charity camps in which women
and children OF families without means
OF their own to enjoy vacations were
closed yesterday at the end of a sea-
son which was notable in two ways.
The season was the most successful
the camps-Good Will and Pleasant,
are t.--ir friendly names-have ever
had; and for the first time in the his
tory Of the camps they closed the sea-
son in debt.
The reason for the success of the
camps is 50 patent that it would not
be worth mentioning were it not a
delight to recount a success Of this
kind. The success was builded upon a
foundation of the real charity that
sufereth long and is kind, the charity
that impels those in whose hearts it
has lodgment not only to dream noble
things, but to do them; to be thought
ful of others, to estimate their needs
and supply them generously; and
above all. to do these things with
speech and feeling of such sympathy
as makes them benefits at once the
most helpful and the least burden
some.
Why there is the cloud of debt upon
the sunny sites of Camp Good Will
and Camp Pleasant is a story of for
tuitous ills. The winds blew and the
rains fell and part of the slender
built houses of the camps fell with
them. The drought damaged the
crops which claimed the interests and
the industry of all the inhabitants of
the worlds OF Good Will and Pleas
ant-the officials who toiled through
the long weeks of their duty; the
weary mothers who rested through the
brief days of their two weeks privi-
lege; the wan children, whose golden
time of sojourn in these wonderlands
of Iees and flowers and water and
