fcations for one of the most modern
and unique business blocks Hammond
has ever known.
1t is a hotel. restaurant rathskeller
and theater building to be erected by
Arnold Keldenich at the northeast
corner of Calumet avenue and Carroll

pected to be at least $4,000
The building will have a frontage of
fifty feet on Calumet avenue and one
hundred and sixteen on Carroll street.
1t will be built of pressed brick and
stone.
The restaurant is to face the corner
of Calumet and Carroll. 1t will have

DEPENDS
ON STATE
LINE ST.

Unless that portion of State Line
street which is exceptionally narrow is
widened, the Gary, Hammond and Chi
cago Heights Interurban company will
be denied entrance to the city of West
Hammond.
This ultimatum was hurled from the
office of Mayor K. NJ. Woczszynski to-
day as one other reason why the mat
ter of the state line and the improve
ment of State Line street along border
lines must be arranged for at once.
The instance Of the franchise is the
most tangible reason yet raised
Real Reason Concealed.
Representing capital and enthusiast sm,
Alfred Van Steenburg appeared before
the West Hammond council less than a
week ago. He desired an ordinance
permitting the Gary, Hammond and
Chicago Heights interurban lines to
enter over State Line street and pro-
ceed it's entire length to Plummer ave-
nue., thence to Hammond. 1t is the
-only logical entrance The road can
not well come in from the west as the
Green line holds franchises in that di-
rection On Sibley and State streets. 1t
is a case of State Line street or no
line from the way in which the propo-
sition has been presented.
When at a special meeting of the
West Hammond city council the mat
ter of granting a franchise was de-
ferred, ostensibly to change the ordi-
nance. some one smelled a rat The other
morning the mayor gave out an inter
view
state Line street is twenty-eight
feet wide for some distance" said he.
land it will be utterly Impossible for
us to grant a franchise to an interur-
ban unless it is widened. Hammond is
probably more interested in locating
this line from Chicago Heights than we
are over here.
The Chamber of Comm rec in Ham
mond has considered the matter. and
even agitated it, going on record in
favor of such a project. Now it is
surely to the interest of Hammond to
have State Line street made more uni
form even if it requires that property
be condemned"
That is a long talk for Mayor woszc-
zynski.

WANTS TO HAVE
SAFETY DAY IN
THE CHURCHES

A Safety Day in the churches OF
Hammond and later in churches In all
the cities in the Calumet region is to
be suggested to the Ministerial Asso-
citation of Hammond by Allan u.
Barnes. assistant safety engineer of
the Pullman Car company. at the next
meeting of that body.
The Organization of a Lake County
Safety Commission is the ultimate OBJ
iect of the Safety First campaign now
in its incipiency. At the Chamber of
Commerce. last evening Barnes to a
number Of members who gathered in
formally explained the. nature of the
cause which he is expousing. Owing
to the lack of sufficient attendance at
the Chamber at any one time a meet
ing was not called although during the
evening at various times great
many were in the rooms.
The womans clubs, the fraterna1
orders and the churches are yet to be
Interested. In the meantime the pub
lie schools have practically adopted
the ideas OF the crusade and many of
the leading manufacturers have in
dorsed the plan of organizing a Lake
County Commission.

PAINTERS ELECT
NEW OFFICERS

The Hammond local of the Brother
hood of Painters, Decorators and Pa
perhangers of America, held an cleo
tion of officers last evening in their
headquarters at the Hotel Majestic
building.
The spirit of the meeting of local
union 460 was optimistic. The MEM
bers are not in the least worried about
the outlook, in fact, they. are entirely
satisfied. There is no prospect of la
Dor trouble in 1914 among the building e
crafts. President C. E. Green was re-
elected.

as follows:
President, C. L. Green; vice president,
A. Straw; recording secretary, W. Gran

NEWSbOYS
HAVE FINE
FEAST|NG

The sale of newspapers on the streets
of Hammond stopped as suddenly this
noon as If all of the cylinder presses
in the world had broken down at one
and the same time. Had war been de-
clared on Mexico no one in Hammond
would have known about 1T.
Two hundred newsies, big and little,
tat and skinny were feasting in the
ball room of the Chamber of Commerce
as the guests of the Hammond Settle
ment. They had among other things
good to eat, large number of roast
turkeys.
The American Federation of Musi-
clans and Mrs. Virginia Brooks Wash
burne furnished the entertainment. Mrs.
w c. Belman of the settlement House,
and a committee of fifteen women head
ed by Mrs. John L. Fitzgerald, had
charge of affairs. Camp Fire Girls
served the meal
Among the specially ferocious bandits
and pirates at the feast were the James
Boys-not of Missouri, but of the north
side, which in Hammond Boyland is the
"show-me' state of the city. Sectional
distinction and paper prejudice were all
wiped out at the dinner. 1t was a real
love feast. And not the least of the
love was shown when the pretties Camp
Fire Girl kissed the newsboy with the
cleanest face. The boy was Richard
James of the James Boys, but the girls
name is harder to ascertain Some say
1T was Minnie Ha Ha of the Camp Fire
Girls, and others that it was Green
Wing The first is known outside the
club as Beulah Dock and the second as
Ruby Porch
The newsboys got through the initial
courses in quick style. However, the
roast turkey, the scalloped potatoes
the baked beans, the turnips. celery. ice
cream and cake slowed them up a bit
At the last they were too full for ut
te<%nce.
1t was a good dinner. "Jimminie
crickets. but it was fne!"
There wasn't a TIMES carrier miss
ing.

NEW SLATE
REIGNS IN
GARY NOW
Knotts- Cain Democrats Are
Wiped Off the Map by the
Refusal of District Con-
vention to Seat Their
Delegates.

The action yesterday of the Ham
mond district convention in refusing
to recognize the Knotts-Cain delegates
of Gary wipes out what little prestige
this machine had left after the city
election defeat. AS a result the inde-
pendent democrats, after four years of
persistent fighting, are now in the sad
die, and Mayor Knots and Bill Cain
have been stripped of their shoulder
straps and are now mere privates at
the foot OF the class.
Next Monday the Gary mayor goes
out of office and he longer will have
any patronage. on the other hand, the
Independent democrats will have con-
siderable patronage from the citizens
administration during the next four
years.
To War on Peterson.
Notice was sent out from the Knots
Cain crowd that Congressman John B.
Peterson would have to pay the pen
atty" for seating the independent DEM
ocrats, but late reports are that John
b. is not worrying over the handful of
opposition that may ensue.
| 1t is said that Peterson and his dis
| trict chairman, Murphy, carefully
| studied the situation and found that
the Independent democrats are now the
real democracy OF Gary and hence their
action in seating them in the district
convention.
/ To Name Chairman Soon.
!! The democrats of Gary are planning
| to elect township chairman in the
near. future and the chances are that
the present chairman, P. c. Finerty,
will be reelected. 1t was due to a
great measure to Finerty that the in
dependent democrats OF Gary gained
control of the city and township orr
ganizAtion.
And one of the principal things that
aided this was the slugging tactics
adopted by the Knotts-Cain crowd

SUES FOR DIVORCE.

Mrs. Hattie McNay Turner Of Lowell
has filed suit for divorce against her
husband, Fred Turner. The couple was
married October 80 and lived together
until December 2l, when. according to
the complaint filed by Mrs. Turner
through her attorney, S. Dwyer, she
was put out OF the house.
The complaint alleges that she has
two sons, three and six years old, re-
spectively, by a former marriage, and
he a daughter nine years old by a
former marriage.
1t appears that the trouble betw cen
the spouses grew out of the fact that
there were two sets of children in the
house. Mrs Turner asks for the re-
storation of her former name Mrs
Hattie McNay.
