Al TAR SHIPMENT
DELAYS DEDICATION
Ceremony at st. Joseph's
Church Halted Because
of Altar.

Delay in the shipment of the $4,000
marble altar for St. Joseph's Catholic
church in Hammond has necessitated

ed to be held originally on October I2.
The plans for the dedication are un-
certain now. In any event 1t will not
take place earlier than In December
and may probably be delayed until
next spring when the weather will be
favorable.
The altar is on it's way to Hammond
now. the first shipment consisting OF
the base and the table being expected
next week. The upper part is ex-
pected to arrive in New York. in an
other week two. Several weeks
must be allowed to set 1T up.
The altar was sculptured In italy
and is made of the finest marble OBJ
tainable. The church has been COM
pleted now for several months, but IT
was thought best delay the dedication
until the magnificent altar arrives.

LOWER EXPRESS RATES
DIDN'T COME OCT. Is
Companies Get More Time
to Present Arguments
~on Small Packages.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE reduced
express rates ordered by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission did not
go into effect on October 15, the date
first fixed. Some time ago the express
companies lied a petition with the
commission asking for a postpone
ment of the effective date. The COM
panies wanted more time to make GER
tain adjustments Also they wanted
the commission to consider further
arguments by the companies as to why
the commissions order In regard to
rates on small packages should not
stand. -s-z- 49,
For some reason the commission, it
was learned today, has failed to take
up the petition of the express COM
panies and the latter, awaiting the ac-
ton of the commission have not filed
the necessary lawful notices in regard
to changes in rates.
Therefore 1t is said at the commits
sioner's office 1t will be necessary for
the commission to enter an order post
poning the effective date of the new
and lower rates.
1t is not disclosed how much lon
ger the public will have to wait be-
fore the reduction becomes operative.

ALL PARTIES
PUTTING IN
BEST L|CKS

The various political parties in
Hammond settled down to business
this week and began series of ward
meetings which promise to keep things
interesting from now until November
fourth. Even the prohibitionists are
showing signs of life, and undoubtedly
will be represented on the ballot.
Last night the democrats had
meeting in urns' undertaking chapel
on State St, a fifth ward meeting was
held in Gradys hall on Calumet ave-
nue. under republican auspices, and the
progressives drew what is considered
a good attendance in the Standard dis
trict. in the neighborhood of ninety
speakers.
The democratic meeting last night
attracted fifty voters, some of the
politicians say as many as seventy-five.
Among the principal speakers were
city chairman John A Gavit, Judge
Lawrence Becker. Judge Barnett and
Edward Burns. They appealed to the
voters for a straight party vote, ar
guing that this showing is necessary
to give the party addition prestige to
what it has already attained nationally
and in the county. AS further argu-
ment the speakers pointed to a ten
years record of democratic administra-
ton in Hammond emphasizing in par
ticular the favorable showing that the
city can make with its neighbors on
the score of public Improvement and
contracts.
Peter Crumpacker, the republican
nominee for mayor whose campaign is
becoming more effective every day. was
the principal speaker at the Grady
Hall meeting last night and was fol-
lowed by William Herkner, candidate
for councilman at large, Charley"
Hubbard. candidate for treasurer,
Frank Dorsey, candidate for clerk, and
councilmanic candidates E. E. Fricke.
William Kahd, Fred Wyman, and Clar-
ence Eder. James Kennedy, who was
also present did not speak.
In the Schaaf- Becker campaign four
years ago, republican meeting in
this ward at no time brought out more
than fffty-svoters Last night at least
a hundred and some say twenty five
more heard Crumpacker as he delivered
one of his telling speeches. Among
other things he also dwelt upon the
