Schwab Is
Ex-senator
Bells Choice
Throw Politics to Winds and
Elect Business Man Says
r. E.. Bell.

DIT. Edwin Bell fresh from the
South. had something different TO hand
out on presidential possibilities when
ne landed in Hammond. DR.. Bell is for
Charley Schwab. and has reasons to
back UP his choice.
While Lowden. Johnson and Wood
are all admirable gentlemen. and any
one OF them would no doubt make an
ideal President. this IS the time to
throw politics to the wind and elect
a great big business man. says Dr..
Bell. Just such man is Charles NJ.
Schwab. Mr. Schwab has the confdence
of the workingman and the business
man alike. During the war. when the
President had a great big Job that he
wanted done right, he asked Mr.
Schwab to do it. and II was done and
done well. He didn't fall down like
Ford. Edison. Ryan and many others
1t Is all right for our friends on the
other side TO talk OF Cox, Palmer and
McAdoo. but the people are tired OF let
ting those fellows handle things for
the government. and are not going 70
let them any longer. Counting the Re
publican votes this fall viii simply be
the taking of census of the voters Of
the country"

Anticipating demands for wage In
creases from motormen and conduc-
tors. representatives OF the H. w.
& E. c. street railway company are
IN Indianapolis today in an effort to
arrange with the Indiana Public Ser
vice Commission for handling any
further requests for fare increases
which the company may be forced to
make.
At the meeting at Carmens hall in
Chicago. Monday night. the street rail-
way employees of Local 241. which IN
cludes the Hammond barn. voted TO
ask for increases Of from 55 to 81 cS..,s
per hour which VIII make their rate
81 and SI.o4 an hour. The formal de-
man has not been presented to the
officials OF the company but it is
expected within the next few days.
According to Charles E. Lawrence
superintendent Of the Indiana branch
OF the Chicago Surface Lines, the line
has been operating at a loss or barely
breaking even during the last three
months. Without increased revenues
he says it would be folly to grant any
wage increases. At present the seven
cent fare is in force In Hammond only
while in Whiting and East Chicago
due TO the fact that the Whiting and
East Chicago councils refused to grant
the company the increase as petition
ed last summer.
Under an emergency clause in the
act creating the Indiana Public IT'LL
ities Commission it is possible in un-
usual cases for a utility which has not
surrendered its charter to the com
m ission to have its problems arbi-
trated by tho body. The company
has no hopes OF gaining anything
from the councils of the three cities
It present so as a last resort the mat
ter is now being placed before the
commission at indianapolis. A uni
form fare for the entire region VIII
be asked which. II granted. will elm
mate the present situation OF paying
seven cents to get out of Hammond
and Ave cents to return. The present
wage agreement between the surface
lines and the men expires June 1, and
1t Is hoped to have the matter cleared
up in Indiana In time to prevent and
possibility of strikes such as occurred
last year.

CHICAGO
WINS AGAINST
HAMMOND
Hammond Alderman Back
Down From Position Ia
ken on Vehicle Tax.

Hammonds aldermen put an end 70
the friction between Chicago and Ham
mond because of the vehicle license or
dinance by backing down from the posi-
ton which was taken at the last coun-
Gil meeting. Last night an ordinance
was passed amending the old ordinance
so that nonresident vehicle owners are
not included.
At tlse last meeting tho opinion was
expressed by many members of the coun-
ell that Hammond should stand firm in
backing UP the ordinance against all
persons who operate trucks regularly
over Hammond's streets. Since then the
aldermen have been thinking it over
and on learning that Chicago's rates are
much higher than Hammond's 1t was
thought best not to subject the Ham
mond owners to the Inconvenience and
expense which is bound to follow en-
forcement of the ordinance against out
siders
once more the proposition Of taking
some action towards improving condt-
tions surrounding the East Hammond
tenement houses was brought up. At
The last meeting IL had been referred 10
the board Of health and building in
specor. but nothing was done. Last
nj ght the city attorney was also ordered
70 lend a hand and see what could be
done.
Complaint was registered against the
old sheds formerly occupied by the
George Stout Coal Co. The buildings
were condemned after Mr.. Stout vacated
them. but il seems that lately permit
has been issued for repairing them. The
aldermen consider the shacks have out
lived their usefulness and should be
torn down.
A motion was introduced to the effect
that the street car company be ordered
to repair the pavements between its
tracks from Oakley ave. to Conkey ave.
This brought forth the information that
the company was preparing 70 do this
work as soon as the weather permits.
Regarding agitation which has been
afoot early TO insure an adequate water
supply for the South Side this summer.
Mayor Brown announced that the board
Of works is planning relief from tive
angles. Half of the booster pump now
located at the Hoffman st. pumping
station is to be moved to Harrison Park
and shunted on the big South Side main
II is expected that the pressure can be

same time the big main under the river
on Calumet ave. is to be connected up
in efw days. This has been used only
a short time since it was laid. II was
broken in two places by pilings when
the new bridge was erected.
An ordinance was passed establishing
pest house building fund. This fund
will have $500 as soon as the money
is received from the sale of the factory
site east Of the Hammond Malleable Iron
plant.

were passed; $500 for nurses and in
