De Luxe Theater.

The De Luxe management has in
augurated a new matinee policy to
start next Monday afternoon. In ad-
dition to their regular souvenir cou-
pons given with each ticket the hold
ers of the lucky numbers will be pre-
scented with a box of Morses choco-
lates at each performance. These raf-
fies will take place at each perform
ance during the afternoon. Five or
six boxes of candy Will be given at
each show. The idea is an original one
and the management's aim is to stimu-
late interest in their daily matinees and
at the same time show the public in
general and ladies in particular the
good quality of candy given for their
regular coupons. Five reels of good
photoplays changed daily and new and
novel singing entertainers changed on
Mondays and Thursdays go to make
the De Luxe one of the finest photo
play houses in town.

1t is Mrs. Sawyer's wish that the

This wish has been granted by the IL

At a meeting of the board this week
IL was decided that the present read

is expected that the committee will re-
port favorably and that within a short
time those who so desire may draw
from the library the bound compositions
of famous musicians, together with
their biographies. This will be great
accommodation and means of educa-

For the benefit of those that are not

Federal court officers who came to
Lake County yesterday in the hope of
laying their hands on certain parties
who were to be brought before u. S.
Commissioners Charles Surprise of Ham
mond for alleged violations of federal
statutes went back empty handed.
They found that man whom they
sought in South Bend had died and had
been buried, and that two Gary men had
left the Indiana federal court jurisdic-
ton, one going to Chicago and the
other to Pennsylvania. The officers who
were present were Assistant District
Attorney Clarence w. Nichols of Indi-
annapolis and Deputy Marshals r. r.
Martin and d. G. Ranking. Messrs.
Nichols and Ranking returned to Indi
annapolis today but Deputy Marshal
Martin remained over to serve num-
Der of subpoenas on Gary men who
obtained their second papers some time
ago and which the government is now
seeking to cancel on the ground that
they were obtained through fraud and
misrepresentation.

Patrick Kelley. erstwhile truant Of
ncer, is happy today for three varied
reasons.
Firstly and Secondly.
To begin with he is no longer a
truant officer, but Maintenance Of
fcer." the same being more dignihed
and less harsh.
In the second place Pat is made glad
by the conduct of Hammond Juveniles
and the operation of the new fourteen
to sixteen year clause in the compu1-
sorry education law. There is less
truancy this year than at any time be-
fore" he says.
Hear We. Hear!
Thirdly, Pat arises with the note
worthy observation that since school
opened in September no one has
spoken a cross word to him. Can you
imagine that. living a month and a
half in this scrappy world without
having any one want to lick you, let
alone talk back
I'm order to be that fortunate" the
former mayor said, you have to be
kind to everybody else. l hate to have
anyone mad at me and so I am care
full" 1t is Pats religion. 1t is also
good campaign thunder.

Where Are the Ponies?

Boyle voolfolk has become quite a
parsonage to theater going Hammond
ties. The workmanship and success of
his chaste musical tabloids has given
him a Cohanesque reputation.
One tried and true Orpheum patron
arises to ask THE TIMES. What has be-
come of the broilers and ponies7"
Well, what has become of those hard
working fascinating little sprites that
made musical shows endurable in
years gone by? Have they all grown
up? Has the species ceased to exist?
Manager Rommeu says that he can
not answer the question, and Manager
Sullivan passes II up.
The tried and true Orpheum patron
wants Boyle voolfolk to revive the
pony ballet.

WHO'LL ANSWER
THIS QUESTION

Who's who in the Ant-Deep Sewer
association?
Friends of Louis Heckleman, chair
main of the association, give him the
palm, while members of the Social
list party rally around the three mem
bers of the finance committee. The
latter, Chas. w. Delaney, C. E. Brew
maker and Alfred Simons, are divided
among themselves politically.
The question is this: Has Heckle-
man, as chairman of the association,
the right to call a meeting?
The answer will be evident though
in a gathering at Longs hall 1t is
expected that the association will be
there intact, imnus, of course, Alfred
Simons, the bull moose candidate fol
mayor. c. w. Delaney, and other en-
thusiastic Socialists.

THE ANSWER?

City beautiful plans in Hammond
originate in woman's clubs and end at
the Erie right of way. 1t is the gem

city has the Chicago and Erie is the
greatest.
Sentiment of late has shifted until

Burns Ditch Case.

The Burns ditch case has been set for
oral argument before the supreme
court of Indiana on November 8. and
1t is thought final decision in the
matter will be rendered very shortly.
The case has been pending in the
courts about four years on an appeal
of the Lake Shore railroad over the
amount Of damages, the proposed ditch
passing under the company's tracks.
The ditch proposes to reclaim about
$4,000 acres of swamp land in Lake
and Porter counties.

There is no one living within surfi-

only question that arises is. will there
be an objection to poluting Lake

polling the tranquil Calumet river with
sewage?
An Engineering Feat.
The spanning of Lake George is a
difficult job. However Ahlborn is
carrying it along rapidly owing to the
modern facilities which he has at his
command. The Indiana Harbor Belt
has a branch line built for the occa-
sion and over 1t material is hauled to
the exact spot where it is needed. Two

other equipment. Only fifty men are
needed to do the work The big ma
