Board Is Considering.

1t will take some time for K of
P.'s. in Hammond to fully realize that
a benevolent providence relieved them
of the weary task of building a home
and gave them at reduced rates a mod
ern rentable structure the former
home of the Lincoln-Jefferson law
school.
The building committee now has
nothing to build, but will be made use
of to arrange for the financing of the
new home, which is costing the lodge
s1S.500. They will meet Saturday even
ing to arrange for the disposal OF the
recently purchased site on East State
street and the leasing of the school
building.
The Hammond board of education
was offered the use of the building for
the coming year by the lodge at meet
ing of the board last evening. Owing &
to the crowded conditions of the city
schools it Is probable that the old JEFF
ferson Lincoln law school may be the
home of the high school for year.
The board is considering the offer.

Jured last night when a railroad tor

found the torpedo in some rubbish and,
curious to see what 1t contained, he
started to open IT. The torpedo ex-
ploded, nearly blowing off two fingers
and badly lacerating his hand.
Crying with pain he ran through the
streets to his home and was then TAX
en- to st. Margaret's hospital. This
morning he is reported getting along

FAMILY PURSUED
BY A NEMESIS
Oil and Gasoline Will Be
Barred from This Fami-

Ill fortune has been the lot of Fred
Jarvis, a Hamond merchant, during the
past few months. His sister and her
little daughter were burned alive at
Kankakee a while ago and his mother,
Mrs. Albert Jarvis, is now near death
in st. Mary's hospital of that city from
burns received in a gasoline explosion.
In all cases the accidents have been
from the fire or combination Of oil.
+ The run of misfortune began when
the sister of Mr.. Jarvis came upon her
little daughter playing In bookcase.
Before she could rescue the baby from
the toppling cabinet IL fell over with a
burning kerosine lamp beneath 1T. An
explosion occurred and the baby was
in flames.
Its mother was badly burned in her
frantic efforts to recue her child and
was killed soon after when she stun,-
bled and fell while carrying a burning
kerosine lamp. Her clothing was
ablaze in a moment and she died of
the burn received
Mrs. Albert Jarvis, the mother, may
die from gasoline burns. She was
cleaning a hens nest with gasoline
when the explosion occurred and her
injuries are thought to be fatal
Coal oil and kerosine will no doubt
be barred from the homes of the Jar
Wis family. The members of the family
are to be found all over Lake county
and all grieved by the horrible traE-
edies.

ITO the Editor of THE TINES:
The citizens of Hammond who have
been in touch with the work of the

on the matter of the conditions of the
alleys and the care of garbage and 9TH
er refuse material They feel that the
present conditions can be greatly inn
proved If public interest is aroused so
that each citizen feels his responsibilf-
ty in the matter. They have met with
the board of public works and find
that the officials are most ready to CO.
operate with the public to obtain a
clean and healthful city.
For this purpose a meeting will be
held on Monday evening. June 18th. at
s o'clock, in the Chamber of Commerce,
to talk over plans for the best way to
