ROOSEVELT,THE MAN,
MEMORIAL SUBJECT
DR.. F. S. Luther Of Trinity Eulo-
gizeS EX-PreSident

DIR. Flavel S. Luther, president of
Trinity college, spoke at the Roose-
welt memorial service in the Trinity
Methodist church last night. DR..
Luther was u personal friend of
Theodore Roosevelt and spoke in
glowing terms of the deceased states
man. A large attendance listened to
the talk by the college president and
at the close of his speech several
minutes were devoted to silent pray
er for ex-President Roosevelt. DR..
Luther's talk follows:
1T would be idle for me to begin
to tell you of the public career of
Theodore Roosevelt as most of you
must have heard or read of his pub
lie career. But I must say something
on this side of his ife, as it was far
the largest part of him. 1t appears
to me that you might be more inter-
ested ii I present to you Roosevelt,
the man as I knew him. 1t was one
of the things in my life that 1 always
Sprided myself upon-to call Roose-
Welt my friend, and to say that our
personal acquaintance lasted over a
period of six or seven years. l want
to tell you of the man as I knew him,
that my acquaintance with him was
to that degree of intimacy which
many others connected with him in
. his official work a t Washington, en-
joyed.
Strange enough to say, it appears
10 me that | knew Theodore Roosevelt
very. thoroughly Every man who
spent some time with him felt that he
knew him. This man began to be
prominent way back in the eighties
when he was elected to the legislature
at Albany. He went there with the
same splendid courage that distin-
guished him during his entire life.
He aroused the instant hatred of
great number of his colleagues, but
he went on demanding and appealing,
and although he was not successful in
carrying all the measures that he
wished he did carry a part of them.
l sometimes wish that Roosevelt
would have come to our capitol to
stir up some of the Connecticut
statesmen.
THAT was the beginning. 1t was
sometime later, when he was police
commissioner Of the city of New
York that he spoke in Hartford He
then locked very much as he did in
later years-he had the same set jaw
and the same look of determination.
His mouth plainly showed his rather
Nlarge set of teeth, the teeth which
cartOonistS have taken so much pleas
ure in drawing. And / want to say
right here, what n shame it is for
cartoonists to seize upon some part
of a mans physical appeara0s G. and
make it an argument against the poll

cartoons of this kind as part of
their campaign ammunition.

DIRE CALAMITY
IF LEAGUE FAILS,
SAYS NJ 'CUMBER

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-'If the
United States refuses to join with the
rest of the world in some scheme to
prevent war. every great nation will
proceed to devise means for wholesale
destruction" declared Senator McCum-
Der. Republican. of North Dakota. in an
address in the senate this afternoon in
support of the league of nations plan
The nation most learned. most
thorough and assidious will take the
lead in a nefarious design TO manufac-
ture gas bombs that will wipe out Of
existence in a single night raid New
York or London. or Paris, or Berlin"
McCumber continued. THE science of
both aircraft and chemistry for war
purposes is at present only in its ex-
perimental stage. The old glory OF
noble and honorable battle will give way
TO the evil necromancy of chemistry. to
insidious germ-producing poisons. Even
since the date of the signing or the
armistice last November we have per-
fected flying machines ten times more
powerful than those used during the
greater part Of the war. / am credibly
Informed that we now have in fair pros
pect OF completion bombs which II
dropped by a single fleet over a great
city like New York or London won not
by mere explosions or fire. but by pois-
onous and insidious gases. destroy all
life in such city.
The nations first and foremost in the
invention of such satanic methods will
be triumphant over the nations whose
hearts rebel against such hideous pur-
poses"

FILTRATION
PROJECT TO
BE SURVEYED
Council Orders Board Of
Works to Contract
with Engineers

Definite epsstoward the construction
Of a water filtration plant in Hammond
were taken by the city council Tuesday
evening when the offer OF Langdon
Pearce. the weIlS&nown Chicago sanitary
engineer to make survey of the pro-
ject for the city was accepted.
Pearce and his associates planned and
supervised the cpnstruction Of the plant
at Evanston, Ill, and are now building
the one for East Chicago. They also
have the CONTRACT for the Whiting plant:
so they are thorpughly conversant with
the lake conditions in the vicinity of
the Hammond intake and also have cost
records on hand (which will enable them
to give the citya pretty close estimate
on the cost of the proposed improve
ment.
Mayor Brown. Informed the council
that more land would have to be ac-
quired at the lake front on this will be
investigated at once. The question was
raised whether the filtration plant could
not be avoided by extending the intake
farther into the lake. 1t was shown by
City Engineer Bridge that soundings
which have been taken show the depth
of the lake to be only about three feet
greater four miles out than at the pres
ent intake As depth is the factor
sought this move would do no good
1t was also shown that this extension
would bring the crib in the lane of
steamer travel to Gary and Whiting
with more pollution TO contend with
The expense Of such a move would
probably be as great as building the
filtration plant and in case the water
was not remedied the State Board of
Health would probably order a fltra-
ton plant anyway. Chicago with its
intakes fare the lake has turgid
water and uses excessive amounts of
chlorine
The survey proposed by Mr.. Pearce
Will be an exhaustive one for which a
charge of $500 will be made. In case it
is decided to build the plant. this amount
will be refunded if the firm is retained
to supervise the construction. The ac-
tual building will be let to contractors
and the engineers in charge will exact
a fee amounting to two and one-half
per cent of the contract price.
motion was passed by the council
ordering the Board of Works to con-
tract with Mr. Pearce for the survey.

City Attorney Promises
Council Prompt Action
Will Be Taken.

Those abandoned c. & o. railroad
tracks which pass through Kenwood
addition to Hammond and prevent the
completion of the boulevard which was
planned when the subdivision was laid
out. are to be removed. City Attorney
Mcmahon last evening promised the
council that it would be attended to at
once
Councilman Frank Martin. In one of
his characteristic speeches called atten-
tion of the aldermen to the fact that
the tracks were still there in spite of
the fact that the administration had
promised south siders during the cam
paign that the railroad company would
be made to take out the offensive
tracks. Mayor Brown informed him
that there was injunction in the
federal court now restraining the city
from taking any further action and that
the administration was helpless.
Attorney McMahon came to the rescue
of south siders just then and announced
that the matter could easily be attended
to by letting the state start the action
He said he would have the prosecuting
attorney start things at once.
haywood Park is to have further
Improvements. Since the bath house
was built al the Hammond beach the
proceeds have gone into a bath house
fund. About $1,000 have accumulated
and an ordinance was passed abolishing
this fund and placing the money in. the
park improvement fund through when
the bonds were issued for building the
bath house. 1t IS planned to use about
$4,000 of this sum in improving May
wood Park and the remainder will prob
ably be used in retiring some OF the
$4,000 park Improvement bonds by
which the bath house was built
Alderman l. c. Smith called attention
of the council TO the condition of the
pavements on many OF the short streets
of the city. Small ruts are appearing
in these otherwise good pavements, and
he recommended prompt action be taken
IN repairing them. He referred to the
latest monthly report of expenditures.
which showed only $50 had been spent
on street repairs
Hammond's new ordinance regulating
the parking of automobiles on the
streets was finally passed. As amended
the ordinance now forbids the parking
CT cars at all places where street cars
take on and discharge passengers. and
also on both sides of Holman st. be-
tween Russell st. and Muenich ct.
Ordinance was passed abolishing fees
which have been collected in connection
with the granting Of licenses and also
the fees which have been chargd for

{. c. MINAS
GIVES HARD
WORK CREDIT
Hammond Merchant Deliv-
ers Important Address
at Convention.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND, June 1s.-
Indiana retail dry goods merchants in
their fourth annual convention today
heard E. C. Minas. department store
head Of Hammond. explain how he has
succeeded IN building up a tremendous
business within gunshot of chicago's
competition.
Mr.. Minas. who was one OF Eve
speakers on the program. attributes
the success of his busines sto hard
work and service to his customers.
Chicago competition. he says, has real
" aided the stores growth.
My reason for talking on this sub
ject." said Mr. Minas, was. that uno,
receiving the invitation from the sec
retary OF this convention. he said the
board Of directors had preferred this
subject because of the large volume of
business we were doing within gun
shot distance of Chicago, where the
strongest competition. no doubt, in the
world exists Ny reply to him was
this. that ! believed your board of di-
rectors had make a mistake in both
the selection and the man. However.
we never talk volume. We do not he
lieve in the volume stuff If it is VOL
ume that counts. we do not do half
the business today that we should.
And at this place and at this time
| wish to state. that what I have dons
most of you have done as well. or
even better. only possibly in a differ
ent way.
In other words. 1t is after all your
own efforts that count most. especial
iy in laying the foundation for your
business career or success. After
your business has grown beyond the
one man idea. then it becomes an or
ganization and at this time II is or
ganiaztion and cooperation of the en-
tire force that counts-from the err
rand boy TO the president of the com
pany. AS Marshall Field stated. If he
had lost all. and still retained his or
ganization. he would still win in
business career.
My first venture was in the hard
ware business, and frankly at the time
I did not know the difference between
a three penny nail and a ten penny
nail. I knew not the difference be-
tween a rim lock and a mortice lock.
but we opened our store with a stock
that invoiced s1.10o. and that only
partly paid for My first days sales
were s262 So you can readily see
that it was not volume Of sales that
interested me. but it was to build the
foundation for the best hardware store
in northern Indiana. and inside OF four
years 1 had purchased a lot and built
a modern store 5ox1Oo. with three
stories. on a street where there was
practically no business. with the ex-
ception of two or three grocery stores.
and this was two blocks away from
the then center OF business.
recall that one of our competitors
said at the time that within six
months I would be broke. but instead.
within one and one-half years he. him
self was in the hands Of A receiver.
Not that 1 had anything to do with
this. but he was more interested in my
failure than he was in his own success.
In another four years cur sales
had so increased that il was necessary
