session Tuesday evening. but the out
standing feature was the announce
ment that Chicago had instituted a
system OF reprisals on Hammond mo-
torists because OF the wheel tax which
has been placed on commercial cars
which do business IN the city.
Chicago business houses whose
trucks work In Hammond protested
when their drivers were stopped and
ordered 10 get licenses. The matter
was brought to head when the
Thornton Mineral Springs Co, asked
for a temporary Injunction in the
Superior court and attacked the valid

be heard just as soon as it can be

Yesterday Alderman Harrison Voor-

cago police and booked for driving a
car without a Chicago vehicle license.
Then came Sam Ableman also of Ham
mond. Their offers to get licenses at
once were turned down. They were
told that they must first appear in
police court. Ableman was shown a
letter by the police captain from his
superiors ordering that all Hammond
cars should be stopped. Machines
from other cities are not TO be moles-

Both men furnished bond and will
