That the Illinois senate last week
passed the bill granting women the
franchise. except for constitutional
offices, was due more to the fine,
statesmanlike efforts of Mrs. Grace

the last three months Mrs. Trout
has carried on strenuous campaign
at Springfield. going each week to

Work the Improvement on the
Sheffield avenue tracks of the Green
Line in North township has begun In
connection with the pavement of Shelf
field avenue, and 1t Is also announced
that construction is to begin on the
Eastern Illinois interurhan railway
from Hammond to Harvey as soon as
negotiations for right of way over
certain steam roads are completed.
Just when these negotiations will be
completed neither party can state def
nitely but according to officials of the
road this is all that is delaying the
commencement of the construction
work on this seven mile piece of
trackage.
The Eastern Illinois has already ent-
cred into a contract with the Illinois
Central for crossing at Harvey, but
contracts are still pending for cross
ings over the Pennsylvania, one west
of West Hammond and one a Dolton.
similar contract is pending for a
crossing over the c. & f. I.

IMPORTANT
SUBJECT
TAKEN Up

Transportation and home accommo
dations for the expected thousands of
workingmen in the Baldwin Locomotive
works were given some attention by
the Hammond Chamber of Commerce
through its board of directors at
regular meeting last night in view of
the new activity on the plant site.
Better passenger service on the
Michigan Central and the Nickel Plate
railroads, the annexation litigation in
volving the territory south and east of
Hammond. and the need of interesting
and attractive programs for the gener
al meetings were also given consid-
Grafton. ]. D. Brusel, who proved him.
self to be an active and efficient secre-
tary of the board and chamber, was
reelected by the board last night to
serve for the ensuing year.
Hammond to Get Share.
In regard to accommodating the pop
ulation growth. due to the Baldwin, the
board takes the position that the
growth is going to follow the course
of least resistance. Hammond it was
pointed out can expect its share of the
new population. provided it can show
the workingmen that Hammond has
something meritorious to offer in the
way of transportation and housing.
When the Green line and Gavit line
extensions are completed, Hammond
will have four separate lines. includ-
ing the South Shore interurban and the
Lake Shore suburban, which will serve
| the Hammond residents of the Baldwin
works, which is considered quite am
| pie. In this regard Hammond could be
| quite satisfied. while in regard to hous-
| ing the new comers it would have to
| take it's chances with the other COM
munities by offering inducements in the
way of reasonable priced property and
| public improvements. No action was
| taken, however. on the matter and it
may come up again in the future for
something more definite.
| The transportation committee was in
structed to confer with the officials of
| the Michigan Central and the Nickel
| Plate railroads with a view OF having
| these companies make regular stops
| of what are now flag stops on the
schedule The board believes Hammond
| is large enough to deserve this rec
| ognition. The Michigan Central has an
east-bound train which makes a flag
| stop in Hammond only on condition
| that there is passenger to go aboard
| for Detroit, Saginaw or north Be-
| cause of the uncertainty of this the
| train is useless for suburban service

Origin Unknown.
The fire started In Camps barn, and
the only explanation for it's starting is
the probability that the wind carried a
spark from a Monon railroad engine

headway by the time they were first
discovered that there was no checking

EXC|SEMEN OF THE
STATE MEET TODAY
Gather Here at the Call of
E. Wilkinson
WANT UNIFORM RULES
Excise Commissioners of Various
Counties Make Different Regula-
tiOns for Saloons and Desire
to Make Them Uniform

A meeting OF the state excise commits
sioners will be held here today. The
meeting is to be held following a call of
w. c. Agee, chairman of the jefferson
county excise commission The meeting
is expected to bring to the city every
excise commissioner of this state. The
state association is headed by E. Wilkin-
son of this city as president, who will
preside at the meeting opening this morn
ing.
The purpose of the meeting is to formu-
late uniform rules and regulations gov
erning the carrying out of the Smith
liquor bill, and is expected to bring about
good results. as.a
Charles Lewis of the Allied Liquor Deal
ers association is In the city. He is at
the Morris and was yesterday in consul
tation with various local liquor dealers.
On account of the report that the meet
ing was for the purpose of helping out
the state deficit on account of the Lacy
robbery tie following statement was
authorized and issued by the Jefferson
county excise commissioners:
''In compliance to a call issued by w. G.
Agee, chairman of the excise commission
ers of the state OF Alabama. there will
be meeting tomorrow of the excise
commissioners from all over the state
for the purpose of getting together and
formulating uniform rules and regula tions
for the carrying out of the provisions OF
the Smith bill
while all will agree that the liquor
1 a. 4;
than ever before, and while the license
holders are living up to the letter of the
law, the excise commissioners have in
different counties issued different rules
and regulations; and they now want to
get together and discuss their various
rules and adopt uniform system of those
rules that worked out best in their re-
spective districts To still further inn
prove conditions they have asked the va
rious brewery representatives to be pres
ent so that they can fully discuss every
phase of the business.
This meeting will produce good results
as the word will go forth that any vio-
lation of the Smith bill will affect the
representative of any brewery in another
county and have a tendency to force all
agents to live UP to the letter of the
law.
I'VE believe by having these meetings
of the state excise commissioners, from
time to time, and at the same time dis
cuss all questions pertaining to the liquor
traffic, as carried out in different sec
tions of the state, will be an education
to all and of great benefit to the com
munity at large.
