POSTPONED

All eyes are turned toward the Cook
county courts in West Hammond now
and city business will lie stagnant till
the decision of Judge Owens on the re-
monstrance of property owners against
the State Line street pavement is
heard. A great majority of West Ham
mond people favor the Improvement
and are optimistic in the belief that it
will meet with the courts approval and
be stamped a city wide benefit
The board of local improvements was
to meet yesterday afternoon but the
session was postponed awaiting the
decision of the judge. The city council
is to meet tomorrow night though there
is chance that quorum will not turn
out There is nothing of importance
up for their consideration.

COUNTRY CLUB TO
HAVE SHOOTING RANGE
Directors At Business Meet
ing Also Take Up
Other Plans.

AT an important meeting of the d.
rectors of the Hammond Country Club
last night the preliminary arrange
ment were made to have a shooting
range on the 40 acres west of the pres
ent links on which four traps will be
constructed. AS a number of club mem
bers are deeply interested in trap
shooting 1T is believed that the direc-
tors have taken a wise step in provid-
ing for this popular sport and it will
doubtless be small factor in SWELL
ing the membership.
Many important matters were dis
cussed at the gathering. It was reported
that the cafe was more than meeting
expenses and it would found necessary
to recommend the hiring of additional
help both in the kitchen and dining
room.
1t was also recommended that a
charge be made for residents who
want to use the links as is customary
in other club. Tonight the syndicate
will meet and on Monday the members
will meet to elect three new directors.
The finance, house, sports and games
committees have also had important
meetings this week.

GIVE FREE
ICE TO POOR

Soulless as corporations have been
made TO appear and often deservedly
so, some of them nevertheless are not
all together devoid of the milk of
human kindness. as witness the Con-
sumers' Company.
This company recently was the object
of much complaint because of its irreg-
ular ice delivery. 1t practically has a
on the natural ice supply. 1t
believes 1T owes duty to the COM
munity, particularly to the poor people.
1t therefore distributed among the ply
sicians of the various cities coupon
books, each coupon emitting the holder
to fifteen pounds of ice. The object of
distributing these books among the
physicians is to get the ice into homes
where it is most needed and where
people are least able to pay for ii.
Physicians these days often have cases
where a chunk of ice would be a god
send for a patient. The ice must how
ever be called for at one of the COM
pany's stations as this is not delivered
from the wagons.

across the northern part of Indiana
last night, tieing up traffic. blowing
over shacks and railing the old lake
till it fairly roared. In Gary street cars
and interurbans stopped at the dinner
hour when thousands of workers were
started for home. Some did pot reach
their worried fraus and cold dinners
till eleven o'clock. Gary gathers her
workmen from unavailable distances
and so they were compelled to stand in
the best shelter to be found.
Traffic was demoralized by reason of
the high wind which tore down wires.
