From Illinois.

Hammond and West Hammond and

It had been contemplated to make

owners who did not believe they should

PUTTING pep
IN PROJECT FOR
MEMORIAL

Hammord's Memorial athletic park
scheme is once more alive. The city
council applied the pulmotor last night
and the project Is again on its feet.
I was a wild night Aldermen left
the council chamber at midnight with
groggy looks in their eyes More ora
tory had flowed than had been heard in
the hail for many . da.. and this is an
oratorical council
They started things moving when they
called for expressions from the large au-
dience, previous to taking up the matter
in regular order Of business. Attorney
Joseph Conroy spoke first He has
been devoting much Of his time to the
matter or late and he waded into his
subject with characteristics fire and earn
estness.
He first called the attention Of his
hearers to the fact that the park would
be constructed as a memorial TO the sold
iers and sailors who died in the war
and not to living men as many people
seem to think. lie showed how people
we're departing from the old custom Of
erecting monuments OF stone in mem
ory Of their dead but were more and
more taking UP the plan Of erecting liv.
ing memorials such as hospitals. parks.
churches and homes for unfortunates.
lie then explained that plans are al
ready on foot for the erection Of
county memorial which viii cost at
least a million OF dollars for which

cost and at the same time would avoid

y. I. Tinkham made an address in op-
position 70 the matter. He said he be

main argument was that the issuance OF
bonds for the project would interfere
with bonding the watervy orks improve

LAWRENCE LYONS TO DIRECT HIGHWAY COMMISSION?
DAYLIGHT
SAVING NOT FOR
HAMMOND

Hammond parted company with
Gary last night and Will operate under
the old time this year. The city coun-
Gil last evening passed an ordinance
repeating the daylight saving ordI-
nance of last year,
The vote was unanimous II was
taken after citizens In the audience
had spoken and letters had been read.
Mrs. Williams Myers spoke at length
She said she repdesented the women
Of Hammond in asking that the day
light saving ordinance be repealed.
Mrs. Myers explained that the women
were doing the assessing this year and
were trying to find out everything
else they could while making the
rounds Among the things they were
learning was that the people did not
want to change their working hours.
Joe Tratebas was there representing
the carpenters union. lie said that a
canvas has been made OF HIS local and
that only about 90 out Of 1900 were
In favor OF daylight saving. Charley
Friedrichs also spoke. lie was rep
resentins his wife and registered his
objection.
The only words in favor OF the
change in time were communications
from the Rotary Club and the board OF
directors OF the Hammond Mauufactur-
ers Association.

BOYS BURDEN LIVES
OF CONTRACTORS

Contractors. Tho have started op-
eratio1s in haywood in an effort to
relieve IN a small measure the hous-
ing situation in Hammond. are be-
coming discouraged over the indif-
ference OF the city authorities in pro-
tectins their property. There seems
70 be no way Of putting a curb on
depredadons OF boys who have been
causing damage amounting to hun
ireds Of dollars.
John Wilhelm. Phi Tbuuen and Guy
Young have houses In process of con-
7truction in different parts OF May
wood and al have suffered losses at
she hands Of the young vandals. In
their raids on the buildings. the boys
carry off what they take fancy 20
and ruin even more than they steal.
Three of these depredations have
been made within as many weeks. on
one occasion the miscreants tore down
part OF the masonry on one Of Mr..
Wfhelm's houses. The labor in put
ting up the walls amounted to over
$500.
In one OF the raids on Mr. Thullen's
houses every window pane in one Of
the interior was also damaged. The
latest depreciation was this week when
electric fixtures were stripped from
bungalow nearing completion. The loss
IN this instance alone Is placed at $500
The matters have been reported to
the police but the contractors say that
the police have not been able to render
aid. The names and descriptions OF
culprits which we're furnished by the
contractors were turned over to pro-
batlon officers by the police and the
matter seems to have died there One
Of the boys known to have been con
cerned is said 20 have been picked up
by police 10 or Is times for various
petty orenses, but the officers have
never been able to have him punished.

MEMORIAL OF
OF REAL BENEFIT

There seems 20 be considerable mis-
understanding regarding the stand
a&eu by the Messess Haman and Dree-
san and the entire fourth ward and
,-le~ous other citizens of the city OF
hammond in regard to the memorial
opposition. The purpose OF the stand
aken was 20 bring the proposition be-
~o~e the people. where il properly be-
,ongs for their decision: and as far
IA the council bowing 20 the wishes
% the above named gentlemen It was
nothing more than case of common
sense and good judgment on the part
a. the whole body.
The issue is not whether Or not 20
establish n memorial for our war
nsroes. but rather that ali the people
OF Hammond at the regular election
saail have the opportunity TO express
themselves on such a proposition.
Tao previously proposed memorial
park would be of no direct benefit to
ne soldiers and sailors themselves.
besides It would create a bonded in
debtedness that they themselves would

POLICE NAB
COUNTERFEIT
MONEY MAN

With the arrest of Joe Dubeko of $50
Summer street, Hammond. the police
believe they have broken up a gang
Of counterfeiters who may have been
flooding the region with spurious mon

suspected and more arrests will be made
in a short time.
Dubeko has been under surveillance
for several days and when officer Singer
saw him on the corner OF State and

accosted him. asking him what he was
waiting for Dubeko said ne was walt

appearance of another man. Singer
brought Dubelso to the station. In
tho suit case was found a very COM
plete outfit for the manufacture of $50
bills, with the exception of the plates.
which were not IN evidence. Dubeko
has so far refused 10 talk. saying that
he has sworn on the cross to reveal none
of the secrets Of the gang. The police
however. have information that viii lead
TO the arrest of other members of the
gang in a short time.
Two theories have been advanced as
to the purpose of the gang. one, the
most obvious. IS that the money Is be-
ing manufactured for the purpose OF
Passing 1t themselves. and the other Is
that the men intended to interest the
more ignorant foreigners in the manu-
facture of bad money and sell them the
outfits at an enormous profit. This
game was worked about years ago
in this neighborhood..
The outfit was contained IN a rattan
suit case, and included a press. coloring
matter. several instruments for the each
ing Of plates. and very good imitation
Of government bank note paper. This
paper was but little coarser than the US
ual government stuff. and the silk thread
had been cleverly put into It. a lot Of
the silk was found in Dubeio's pocket.
It is much coarser than that usually
found in good paper.
Captain Halls or the United States
secret service expected In town today
to inspect the outfit and question the
prisoner. Dubeko VIII be arraigned
before the L. S. Commissioner in short
time
