there was genuine consideration for

they learned that by observance of

And yet, in view of all these ac-

provides that all boats should be re-

two able seamen with which to man
the boats.

IN ITALY DELAYS
Dedication of st. Joseph's
Church in Hammond
Set for Oct. 12.

Members of st. Joseph's Catholic
church of Hammond and others who
are looking forward to the dedica ton
of the new church building will have
to content themselves for another six
months, as the event will not take
place until October 12th. The building,
however, will be ready for occupancy
by June 1, or thereabouts and will be
used as soon as it is completed.
The postponement Of the dedication
date is due to the delay in the COM
pletion of the high altar, which is now
under construction in Italy. The altar
is to be work OF art which Is to be
hued out of the finest Italian marble
and several more months are required
yet for its completion.

pied without any ceremony, but tenta- :
tive plans are already under way for a

since Jan. l a deputy sheriff. left Tues
day afternoon for North Judson to take
a position as detective for the Erie
railroad. His duties will be to accom-

Judson to Hammond.
1t seems that the Erie has taken a
new plan to prevent the looting of
merchandise trains while they are be-
ing taken from place to place This
plan is to have detective with the
train during the whole time 1t Is on the
road. Detectives will be stationed all
along the road to accompany trains
one way to a certain point and then
deadhead back home and wait for an
other train to come along.
The requirements for getting on as
such a detective are experience OF
some sort and a big physique, and OF
both Mr. Scott has plenty. He has TAX

JUDGE GREEN has
A SAFE MAJORITY
New Wrinkle in Illinois Law
Gave Him Great
Advantage.

1t is now believed that Judge Frank
Green's majority will be at least 4e.
1t was first reported to be 81. then 29,

The friends of Judge Green attri-
butte his success to their ability to get
a large number OF voters to give him
five votes instead of voting for the
four other candidates on the list
Under the Illinois law where there
are Ave Offices of a similar character
to be filled the voter may vote for Ave
of the candidates or he may cast five
votes for any one of the candidates.
One OF Judge Green's friends got
nine of these five-vote ballots and 9TH

WHAT CAUSED
THE INCREASE

Hammond property owners who read
with some perturbation last night that
the cost of oil sprinkling had gone up
to $3.50 compared to $33 per ten
thousand square feet last year, were
relieved today when they learned that
this years figure instead of being
$3.50 is in fact only $3.50 per ten
thousand square feet. The slight in
crease in price. according to Contrac-
tor Prohl, is due to that the price of
oil per barrel has gone up from 81 s5
to $3.50. The board of public works
let the contract yesterday.
