COME OUT TO THIS
IMPORTANT MEETING

Property owners in favor of the deep
sewer project will meet this even
ing in the Lincoln school and a big at
tendance is expected. Ways and means
are to be devised to offset the opposl-
tion movement which has gathered in
the neighborhood of 400 names on re
monstrances that have been circulated
A meeting of property owners south
of the river met in Kahls pavilion last
night. There were only about 80 pres
ent, and aside from little routine
business and short talks that were
made, not much was done. 1t was
announced at this meeting that about
225 signatures had been secured for the
remonstrance south of the river. 1t
decided to hold joint meeting
some night next week with the antis
on the north side.
Indifferent to City's Needs
From remarks that were made at
the meeting last night 1t was apparent
that some OF the oppositionists are
not concerned about the needs OF the
city as a whole. One man, for in
stance. got up and said that there was
no need for the deep sewers and that
IL the big factories which are to locate
here need deep sewers they ought to

WARNINGS
Hammond City Fathers
Meet at Busy Session;
South Shore Railway Co.
Notified It Must Obey the
Municipal Mandates.

Nicholas Lauer, alderman large
had the moral support of the entire
north side in his TRADE against the
Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend
Electric railway before the city coun-
Gil last evening. Even the non-resi-
dents of that district who have at some
time awaited the arrival of night or
early morning train under the faint
glimmer of an incandescent light would
have cheered him on had they been
present
The South Shore has been knocking
people and vehicles off the Sheffield
avenue crossing about long enough.
They were compelled to give us a night
watchman on May ard. but they refuse
to comply with the request of the
council that an arc light replace the
feeble incandescent. Every other road
In Hammond has installed arcs and
they should be compelled to as re-
quired by ordinances S64 and 1126.'
The speech came after the reading of
two communications from South Shore
officials in which they politely decline
to do as told. The council authorized
City Attorney John Gavit to take such
steps as necessary to compel them
to-.
I'm case they refuse the only way to
proceed is to institute prosecution
against them" said Mr.. Gavit.
Councilman Oscar Plageman opened
fire in another direction when that de-
cision had been reached He arose to
announce that he considered the police,
firemen and mail carriers abused un-
der the new public utilities act,which
prohibits them from riding without
payment OF fare on street railways.
He claimed that the contract with the
companies made with the letting of the
street franchise had precedent. Mr..
Gavit stated that the public utilities
act abrogates all contracts of like ma
ture made by the city
A difference of a cent a ton in two
bids for the years supply of coal at

TEDDY THE TERRIBLE
ON ANOTHER RAMPA AGE
Escapes from Ice Box and Is
Guilty of Again Terror
izing the Neighborhood.

Little caring what the press of the
country said of him and his hour of
blissful conquest, Teddy the Terrible
sat through the long morning of yes
terday tied to the icebox in the home of
H. E. Granger. Quiet would have
reigned in. the household but for the
soft means of slumbering Forrest
Granger, the vanquished 7-year-old
boy.
Dad" Conners nodded at his post. an
easy chair near the icebox. Granger
himself had fed and Mrs. Granger was
out in search of Teddy's relations.
The stiffness was oppressive to Ted
dy, 3-year-old outcast, 1t was unbear-
able and sweat stood out on his fore
head as he worked through the hours
of the May morning.
BY 1890 he was free. His little teeth
had gnawed the slender rope in two.
Dad" Conners was asleep and Teddy
ran to the porch for a breath of free
dom. Here are a partia! list of new
misdemeanors showing that Teddy is
capable of anything:
Backed up against a fresh painted
wall upon reaching the porch. Turned
around to get same benefit on other
side.
Threw kitten in bucket of paint.
Time turned the bucket over.
Started on a trans-continental hike.
Stopped at corner by neighbor who
led him back by ear. Neighbor kick
ed in shins for trouble.
Awoke dad" Conners by pulling
out all the drawers in a sewing ma
chine, leaving threads. needles, bob
bons and all in a heap.
Retired beneath bed to escape.
Remained under the bed till H. E
Granger came home.
Now held captive in garrest bed
room, where he has succeeded in
breaking two lamps and kicking plas-
ter off the walls. Is fed at intervals.

HAS SOME
GOOD IDEAS

Basking in the warmth of May on
the sunny side of Holman street Frank
O'Rourke submitted to a sidewalk In
tervfew this morning. AS the four
square city sealer isn't much of a bask-
er, the talk was brief but to the point.
He had plenty TO say but not much
time to say 1t in. The topic was in
crossing, How to meet the high cost
of living"
We Intend to call mass meeting
of storekeepers within a few days and
show them a sure way to save them
selves and their customers money a
penny or nickelor dime on one single
purchase.
Now that ought to interest the ulti-
mate consummer also. We think it
should and within a week a big mass
meeting for all is planned.
Costly Packages.
Here's the system. Under the new
weikhts and measures of Indiana and
several other states packers are COM
PEELED to stamp the net contents on
packages and cans. This alone should
be sufficient for the buyer. but in this
busy world you have to emphasize ev-
erything.
Nine ounces of macaroni in a fancy
bulk the same stuff costs 10 cents a
pound. There you pay twice for your
food and get nothing more but fancy
package. Fine business
you go home and look over the gro-
ceries when they arrive and I'll bet you
that nearly everything is in a package
or a can. Three tomatoes IL cents
That's awful when you can buy them
by the box.
What we want to do is to get house
wives to buying by the bulk and seeing
to 1t that their grocers keep every
thin gsanitary Nothing is gained ir
the way of cleanliness by canning stuff

to blame. People demand canned goods
and the merchants pays a stiff price
and gets a small profit. The merchants

the deep sewer system because he is
under the erroneous impression that
his assessment alone would be $700.
when in fact 1t would, according TO the

CIarkdaIe Shelter.

' Prof Chas. F. Willis, of the Uni versity of Arizona, in an article in the Arizona Magazine says: "The Clarkdale shelter will have an initial capacity of twenty five hundred tons a day, while the old plant handled from one thousand to twelve hundred tons per day. The plant is being de- signed by Redpath and McGregor, who have been the engineers fer the greater number of the smelling plants erected in the past few years: among them the C. X A. plant at Douglas, and the Arizona Copper plant at Cliff ton. With the increased equipment. it will be the policy of the company to handle more custom ores and to take ores from the developing prop critics of the district. This has been impossible in the past, owing to the limited capacity of the old plant.'
