ATTY. J. f. REILLEY
GIVES HIS BOND
State Trustee for Deaf
School Ready to Enter
Upon New Duties.

Hon. J. T. Reiiley of Hammond. VINO
was recently appointed as one of the
trustees for the Indiana school for the
Deaf at indianapolis by former Govern
or Marshall, received his commission
today.
He had already taken the oath of of
flee and given bond. Ten thousand
dollars was the required amount
When asked this morning what this
salary connected with the plum Mr.
Eeilley said: We'll, the salary isn't so
much. The job is largely honorary, but
$500 is given each of the trustees
The duties are by no means honorary
however, for the law requires that the
trustees shall meet monthly at Indian-
apolis and to a busy professional man
that in itself is quite a loss.
Mr.. Reiiiey is by the way the only
state official that Governor Marshall
ever appointed.

NOT MUCH DOING IN
REAL ESTATE NOW

Holiday activities side tracked real
estate activities in Hammond during
the past week, and the various real
estate offices take this as matter of
course.
John n. Beckman. of the firm of
Gostlin. Meyn & Co. J. S Blackburn.
of the firm which bears his name. and
William Hastings are all agreed that
despite little activity the past week the
real estate situation is a healthy one.
The organization of the Fairview
syndicate, composed of eight local men
who have taken eual interest in
twenty-eigh acres of subdivided West
Hammond property which had pre-
viously been owned by John Brown
and Charles Friedrich, shows that the
men of affairs of the city anticipate a
bright future for West Hammond.

SHAkEUP
ON ERIE
RAILROAD
Well Known Railroad Men
Switched About as Result
of Bulletin Posted, Effect
ing Seven Members of the
Local Division.

Erie railroad circles in Hammond are
interested in one of the most sweeping
changes in the executive department of
the Chicago & Erie Railroad company
which were announced this week by a
bulletin issued from the office of Di-
vision superintendent L. MackrelL AT
least seven men. most of them promi-
nent in railroad circles, are concerned
in the shakeup.
Trainmasters Changed.
The bulletin which was posted on
Wednesday morning announces that
Herman j. Klein, who has been acting
as trainmaster of the Huntington-
Hammond division, has been appointed
trainmaSter of the Marion Huntington
division, supplanting his father, j. H.
Klein, who will be assigned to other
duties. Mr.. Klein, it is understood, has
been offered several other positions. but
will take a rest for several weeks be-
fore announcing his decision in the
matter. Mr.. Klein is one of the oldest
men in the local executive department.
The position left vacant by the promo
ton of Herman ]. Klein has been filled
by the appointment of II. r. Adams to
the place. Mr.. Adams was formerly a
conductor.
New Foreman of Engines.
The second change, which has Gre
ated no little comment among road
men. is the appointment of Engineer
Henry NJ Young to the position OF
road foreman of engines on the Hunt
ington- Hammond division. which place
has been held for some time by David
c. Colclesser. Mr.. Coiclesser has been
assigned TO other lines of work and ii
Is said he viii probably resume his old
place as engineer
Scarcely less surprising was the an
nouncement that F. P. Myers had
been appointed chief train dispatcher
for both divisions. succeeding Charles
McCahill, who has held the place for
several years. Mr.. McCahill will for
the present at least go back on the
dispatching trick which he formerly
held before his promotion.
