UAL POLICE HEPORTjS OUT 502 Arrests, and 1632 Lodg ers; $2,300 Worth of Property Recovered. FORCE IS EFFICIENT Controller Smalley Has Complete Report of all Departments in Hand for Publication. Hammond's annual police report for the year 1906 which was completed this morning by Secretary Charles See and Chief Fred Rimbach, presents fig ures of unusual interest. It is one of the eischt reports that were made to city controller Jhon D. Smallev. who wilI have th ,,ubiished within the next few wppkn The entire police report is one big human interest story throughout which at the same time speaks much for the efficiency of the local limited department Ihe total number of arrests made during the last year number 632. Of these ten were negroes and eleven females. Two hundred and three were married and twenty-five of them were unable to read or write; 77 were sent to the county jail and an almost equal number had their fines staid; 330 drunks were arrested and twenty-nine burgla ries were reported. A fact to which the local department points with pride is that $2,341.75 worth of stolen property was recov mond Is the statement that 1,632 lodgers applied at the police station and were given lodging, In tne number arrested during the Past year about twenty different na tionalities were represented: Of these 33o were American born, 60 Irish, 40 German, 28 Poles, 3 English, 2 Ital ian, 1 Japanese and 1 Chinese. The South Shore Gas company did not escape in the report as the police kept an hourly tab on the lights that are neglected and found enough lights out to warrant a deduction from the city's light bill amounting to J696.41 The exhaustive report Is prefaced by an introduction by Chief Rimbach on the police situation In Hammond and the work that is being carried on by the department. Chief Rimbach gives due credit to each man in the department saying that each and every man on tne roster ot seventeen is a capable and sincere worker and that the best of harm6ny prevails in the department. Mr. Smalley's complete report in eluding the water, health and charity departments, the board of public works fire department, finance, engineering, law and library will be forthcoming within a few weeks and promises to be one of the most interesting books ever published in and for Hammond TRUST IN FE of ions pom Indianapolis Paper Gives This as Reason for His Resignation. While the people of Hammond have been speculating as to why Knotts, the founder of Gary, lost his job, the Indianapolis News comes out with a , , . In an article printed in yesterday's paper the statement was made that his power had become so great in Gary that the United States Stptl rnrnnratlon viewed the situation with alarm. Then the paper goes on to state that he was president of the Gary Land company; his brother was postmaster 0f the city; his daughter was deputy postmaster; his law partner, L. L. I T?omhererer. was the town's attornpv. and his private secretary. Oliver Holmes, was citv clerk. In addition the article tells how Knotts made a quarter of a million of ,iiioa in mii., ,,i,oo w.. ...... j,,. ing the town site of Gary, and also how he received a salary of 510,000 a year. It does look as though Knotts has been looking out for "number one," but his friends here deny that this had anything to do with his leaving the company. The Indianapolis News goes on to say: "His relations with the steel corporatlon have been spectacular. He induced the steel corporation to locate their $25,000,000 plant at Gary, and he vvas commissioned by the directors to I buy 3,000 acres of land in the sand dunes, ten miles east of this city. He bought this at prices ranging from $10 to $100 an acre. It 13 now held at $2,500 to $3,000 an acre. Mr. Knotts was nearly a year in closing the deals, and he is said to have cleared $250,000 as commissions out or the numerous transactions. So elated was the steel corporation over his success that it engaged him at a salary of $10,000 a year to represent it in the building of Gary on plans outlined by nimseir.' Schllllnger Bros., contractors of Chi cago have started work on Garys new $100,000 store on Broadway and Fifth avenue. The store is being erected by the Gary Building company and the backers of the concern are from Co shocton, O. The work on the new building was begun the first of the week 1 and is expected to be completed by the 4&te May

OPPOSE EAST

SIDE PROHIBS Property Owners on State and Calumet Avenue Cry " Discrimination." HEW PEIIII1 STARTED Opposition To Dry District Based On Fact That Streets Are in Eusiness Section. The question of a dry district on the east side is still far from settled. The prohibitionists got a good start and presented a petition to the council asking that saloons be kept out of the territory south of the center of State strefet and east of the center of Calu met avenue. Most of tho property owners on the south side of State street and on the east side of Calumet avenue as far south as the Nickel Plate tracks have considered their holdings business property, hence their opposition to the establishment of the dry district. "State street," they say, "will some day be the principal business street of the city and Calumet avenue will also be an important business thoroughfare and to create a dry district on one side of the street and not on the other would be manifestly unfair." "Business property is valuable ac cording to the number of uses that it may be put to," say the owners of property on these streets, "and while none of us care to run a saloon on our premises or permit one to be run there by a lessee yet the value of the property is affected, for the reason that a possible purchaser might want the property for saloon purposes and would pay a good price for it if he could do with it as he pleased while he would not think of purchasing it If he could not." Consequently they have started a petition and have secured the signa tures of a great many of the property owners in the vicinity." These owners of business property say they would not object so strenuously if the di viding line would be placed in the alleys Instead of the streets and then there would be no discriminating against one side of the street as com pared with the other. The anti's will appear before the meeting of the committee which has this matter in charge Monday or Tuesday and niatter. state their position in the TO BUILD $1,500,000 PIER. Plan Is to Make It Greatest Amusement Place In Chicago. Gigantic in its dimensions, a pleasure resort pier to cost $1,500,000, which will make the piers of Atlantic City and English seaside resorts look diminutive by comparion, Is to be constructed from the foot of Thirty-First street a distance of one miles out into Lake Michigan. The building of this immense amusement resort, the first of its kind in or near Chicago, is to be started June 1. It will take about a year to complete the structure, the buildings at its entrance, and on its surface. The pier is to be thrown open to the public June 1, 1908. Fred B. McLean is at the head of the enterprise, and has already secured permission from the war department to construct the pier. A bill authorizing the building of the structure has been introduced In the legislature at Springfield, and Mr. Lean says he ex pects no trouble in having the measure passed. According to present plans the pier will contain almost every conceivable Idea for modern amusement and enter tainment. PRESBYTERY MEETS. Kev. Shlrey Will Report a Most Saccessful Year.
