TAKE OUT
FIRST PAPERS
IN DROvES

1t is generally predicted by the lead
ers engaged in the naturalization bus
iness for the Democratic party that
there will be at least $500 men natural
lied on account of the city election next
Fall. In the last city election in 1909
there were 1881 aliens declared their
intention in order to vote, which ex-
ceeded the number in the presidential
election of 1908 by about so. The in
fiuence of this great number of for
eigners this all may be a far reaching
one, and it Is expected that an effort
will be made of some magnitude to get
the control of these men away from
the democratic party, who as rule
claim to control them when it comes to
city elections. Two hundred and fifty
eight declared their intentions or the
Hammond primaries and 146 for the
Gary democrats.
Since 1908 there have been over $500
declarations filed in the office of Dep
uty Clerk Charles Surprise, which will
give one fair idea of the great num-
ber of foreigners in the Clumet region.
In addition to the above number about
1000 declarations have been filed in the
office Clerk Ernest l. Shortridge of
the Lake Circuit and Lake Superior
courts.
Another rush for second papers is
expected to start in the Federal Clerk s
Office shortly after the close OF the
first paper rush about October 18th. The
dockets for second papers will be open
from October 18th and Jan. 18th, and
a hearing on all petitions filed will be
had before Judge Albert B. Anderson
on the third Tuesday of April, 1914 IT
Is expected that previous records will
be broken on account of the growing
sentiment for full naturalization on the
part OF the foreigners of this district.
About 500 petitions have been acted up
en- by Judge Anderson in the Federal
Court during the last four years, about
three fourth of which have been grant
ed and the petitioners admitted TO full
citizenship.
Out of 1881 foreigners naturalized in
1909, 1900 were democrats.

BEGGAR HAD
A BIG ROLL

A beggar who makes a speciality Of
asking for pennies and seldom fails
to victimze with a pat little speech
about "sa wing em until / get enough

Hammond last evening
BY getting drunk he forgot that he
a coin collector and became a
connoisseur of wines. He bought
drinks for fellows he had begged pen
nies from and carried everything with
a high hand.
When the bright lights palled upon
him he found his way to a hotel and
engaged the best suite in the house.
He gave his name as Harry Van Dry
den. Before going to his room he de-
posted a pocketbook with the clerk
and a roll of greenbacks held together
with a rubber band in true tenderloin
fashion.

A stag camp of locally celebrated
musicians broke up post haste at
Liverpool on the Calumet river this
morning at the midnight hour. II was
descended upon by a dozen farmers,
the memb bers of a nearby church, and
some lanky youths who literally sack

to safety over the South Shore
Among those who struck camp are
two musicians from the Orpheum N

The DoxoIogy Has Competition.
Had they not paraded the country

melodies it is likely that their camp
would still be there. Had they not
haunted the countryside with spooky
dirges at all hours of the night and
set up an opposition to revival meet
ing by playing 'In My Harem' and
Smoky Okums," thus drowning out
the choir, they would still tramp the
country roads in peace and fish for
carp like the rest of the SUNNI er
boarders.
Details of the raid are lacking but
ii is known that the campers were
ushered out by summary measures and
that they are cordially invited never
to return.

A lengthy document of 5000
words was placed on file in the cir
cult at Crown Point today by Attor-
neys William J. Winery and John
H. Gillett in which the city Of Ham
mond is made the defendant in a
complaint to enjoin the board of pub
lie works that if successful will pre-
vent the construction of Hammond's
proposed $6S6,00 deep sewer sys-
tenn.
In it the city is charged with Sin
full waste illegal procedure and
plotting to provide municipal light
plant without due appropriation.
Board Is Denounced.
The boards action is denounced as
invalid in that no provisions were made
by the common council for the erection
of the pumping station to cost $4,000
nor the sludge beds and settling tanks
to cost estimately s143.00o. 1t is claimed
that equipment to care for the disposal
of sewage and water could be install

Allegations Startling.
The allegations are general ana start
ling. In the beginning of the COM
plant it Is stated that the plant was
designed as power house and that
power plants can't be built by special
assessments.
The brief states that 1900 arc lights
could be furnished power by the mach
inery of the plant proposed.
Board Forges Ahead.
The polluting of Calumet river
which has been declared by congress to
be a navigable stream was handled
in an indirect way by the lawyers who
says that the boards action in provid-
ing for the publication of water was not
ordered by the city council. In fact
1t Is stated that the board acted wholly
| on its own initiative, planning to drain
across city property, appropriating city
proerty for the pumping station site
and arranging for general assessments
without orders from city fathers.
CompIainants Charge Damages.
The complainants in the case are Eva

lawyers that he Is paying for sewer put

benefits from the deep sewer system
but will be damaged when the old
sewer and pavement is torn up. All of
the cofnplainants claims actual damage.

ent sewer system is adequate and in
! good condition with the exception of
Root street and that the assessing of
abutting property a dollar foot is not
legal in the building of a power plant.

Owens Splits Jobs.

Judge Owens of the Cook county
circuit court administered another set
back by decreeing that the State Line
street and Sibley street pavements
must be made under separate con-
tracts or the whole business go hang.
That Is not the exact words the Judge
used by liberal Interpretation.
With all this to do 1t would not be
stranged If enthusiasm took wing in
West Hammond. But instead 1t seems
to have increased and the Illinoisans
are more determined than ever. They
are awaking to the fact that if the
city is to bid for homeseekers when
the new plants are open 1T must be
well prepared.

HAVE NEW
SET BACK

West Hammond's weary task of put
ting through the State Line and Sibley
street improvements has suffered an
other setback which will retard pro-
gres for three weeks at least. The
delay Is a blow to real estate dealers
and builders who planned to have
scores of homes on the fall and winter
market.
In the meanwhile things are shaping
for the better. Before the Sibley
street pavement is completed the
Green Line which has held contracts
in West Hammond for three years will
be extended way into the interior and
it is expected that service will then
be forthcoming.
