re . The Hammond fore a is efficient and willing enough
but there Is ret enough of it to go around. With its present limited numbers the Hammond force cannot hope to cover the territory and population that has come under its Jug since the advent of the Standard Steel Car plant. It has all and more than it can do to patrol the streets and keep order In the older portion ( f the town. The lawless element is nwnre of this and the hordo that has come to prey upon the defenseless workingmen engaged in building up the outposts Is practically immune. Thugs and thieves of the cheaper sort can run riot
without fear of apprehension or punishment. Conditions have arisen with which the small but devoted band of blue coats which Hammond boasts under tho wise provisions of tho metropolitan police law cannot cope. We are not
chiding that law. Those who affect to know think it provides the best kind of polico regulation for a community such as this. At any rate they had their way when an attempt was made to repeal it. Neither are we suggesting a remedy. We simply are. pointing to a condition that exists now and is bound
to grow worse before it grows tetter.
Hammond yields to no other city In this commonwealth In public spirit or pride of ownership. When it comes to policing, Hammond is strictly in the hands of Indianapolis, and as far as practical manifestations go, Indianapolis
is as Ignorant of and as indifferent to tho wants of this unusual community as London was Ignorant of and Indifferent to the trials and tribulations of the
Pilgrim Fathers.
Tho citizens of Hammond are law abiding. They want to be clean and decent. The persons who have made a desirablo addition to the community are of tho same mind and purpose. They would like to impress upon the persons who aro not of the samo mind and purpose that If they want to come in and stay they must be good. They cannot teach that lesson by precept and example.
They must use force and that force Is not within their power to exert. It was tho assertion of Hammond's self-respect that cleansed West Ham
mond, the place across the state line. Hammond did not realize at the time that
in its righteous crusado it was extending a cordial invitation to all the undeslr
ables in "West Hammond to coma over the state line and scatter themselves
amongst us.
They aro here. You cannot get away from that fact. You can see them
in business and even in the residence streets by day and by night.
The Hammond polico force has enough to do within the narrow limits that
existed at the last official rating. The Standard Steel Car company must pro tect itself.

was held by a freight train for over half an hour and at least one hundred peo

city officials took somo action in the matter, as the majority of citizens are becoming disgusted with the long delays to which they are compelled to submit
at tho crossings traversed by this line.
"UNDERSTAND," says the spokesman for the blue jackets connected with the battleship Illinois who want the people of the state to present the ship with
a stand of colors, "Understand, we could buy the flag ourselves, but the honor lies in having it presented from patriotic motives." Patriotism which needs to be stirred at the solicitation of the recipients of the requested honor, is not very
deep set.

THE decision of tho supremo court in the case of the South Shore Country club, forbidding tho sale of liquor, is not such a hardship as it appears cn paper. The members all have their own lockers. THE ST. LOUISANS who were shocked at the sight of fifteen naked youths who had been caught by a policeman bathing in a park, racing down the streets, must never have attended an athletic meet. THE EULLETS went whistling in Kensington today and the city is in the hands of an armed force. It is not war, but the sharp shooters are contesting in the Grand American Handicap. THE AVINE GROWERS in Franco are on the verge of rebelling over the adulteration of their goods. Tho consumers will soon be up in arms if they don't get the real article. AV1IEN a crook steals a farmer's horse, watch out for the farmer, as he thinks as much of the animal a. lie does of his bflnk account.

Johnny Summers, the little English

did not show up very strong last night 1
in a bout with Young Erne. In fact it looks as if he was over touted, although his fight with Tommy Murphy some time ago was good. Erne out-
boxed and fought him off his feet throughout, and the strongarm punch supposed to be nestled in the Summers

The preliminary handicap which is always held prior to the opening of the Grand American, was held yesterday at the Chicago Gun Club at Kensington anil 357 of the best gunners in the world competed for the prize. George L. Lyon of Durham, N. C, won the event which starts today with 496 entries. Lyon was given an enthusiastic reception when he finished the last round with a clean score and was carried to the club house on the shoulders of his friends.
Ancient Arks AVhieh Would le an Ornament to Any Junk Heap Form New Attraction on Hammond l.lue. The South Chicago City Railway company is trying out a new brand of trailers. The recent law passed by the Chicago city council prohibiting the
use of sideboards on street cars has compelled the remodeling of the cars formerly in use. The car which passed through Hammond last night on its maiden trip was a most pitiful excuse for a trailer and will be a most representative addition to the string of antiquated see-saws bungling up and down the main streets of the city. The new model of the old type consists of
two ears spliced together, the cars used consisting of some back numbers vvhieh bad nrobablv been abandoned
long aso, owing to their old age and inability to stick to the track. Entrance is made to the new car by means of the regulation step in place of the sideboards which were formerly in use. There are six of them now ready for use on the Chicago division and an effort will be made to put them on before the close of the season. Tho ears, which were built with the intention of using them for trailers, will now be used in all probability on the Hammond-East Chicago division on Sunday and on other days of heavy traffic during the summer months.

Manager Jones decided to stop the overflow in games lost and yesterday sent Ed Walsh Into the game to do the
trick and he was not found wanting. It turned out to be a landslide and the final score was S to 2 although Walsh eased up in the final innings, only five hits were the Bostons able to get off that slimy spitball. Jacobsen was the first victim offered up by McGuire, and after two men were passed, the old fox pulled out the tall lad and substituted the fat boy, Harris. He proved to be just what the Sox were looking for and thirteen wallops resulted.
Davis showed the fans just how the short stop position should be played and accepted eleven chances all of which wera beauties. Isbell had his stick in working order yesterday and got three hits including a three bagger, a two bagger and a single.

The Boston Nationals got away with the Cubs yesterday by a score of 5 to 4, thanks to Mr. Needham, the stocky backstop, who punched out a home run
in the seventh just when it was most
needed. Pat Flaherty, the ex-AVhite Sox south paw was in the box for Boston and Jack Pfeister did the work for the Cubs. Pat worked in fine 6hape except for the sixth when the Cubs got three runs, but the rest of the time he had the home bunch locoed. Mike Kahoe again proved himself a timely hitter when he went to bat in place of Shekard and landed a nice one in the left garden. This makes six times Mike has been sent to bat for the Cubs
and he has a record of four hits. Last game today and it looks like Chick Fraser against Llndarcan.
What a grand field faced the starters at the Sheepshead Bay track today
where the classic Suburban was run off. Nothing better in the way of thoroughbred race horses were lined up this season. New York certainly enjoys an event of this kind and the track was a scene of beauty with its thousands of finely dressed women and the coaches and turnouts of all kinds. And the way those same women sent ihe cash into the bookmakers was a caution and many of them will have pin money for a long while as they are clever pickers and stand well with those on the know.
Take the remarkable case in the
morning papers of leonine gratitude.
If the story were told of a domesticated lioness there would be no reason for
skepticism. It runs as follows:
A lieutenant in an English regiment was hunting big game in Africa. A great lioness approached him. She was
lame and limped. Upon lifting her left fore foot the lieutenant discovered a large thorn embedded in the flesh. This he gently removed, washed out the wound with an antisceptic lotion he always carried, patted the grateful animal on the head, and, although he had a loaded elephant gun under a neighboring tree, sent her back to the jungles to her cubs unharmed. He thought no more of the occurrence until he woke up next morning and found himself colonel of the regiment. Investigation showed that the intelligent beast, suffering though she was from the cruel wound in her foot, had come to the post, hunted up the roster, picked out all the ranking officers of her lieutenant and quietly eaten them,
thus making his promotion certain. As we have said, if this had been a tame lioness the story might be be
lievable, but such a clean sweep as was made of all the officers seems beyond the intelligence of a wild lion. Such a one would have surely missed one of the majors or a captain or two. There is another advantage possessed by the menagerie naturalist. If any one disputes his stories he can prove them. For Instance, the keepers at Central Park told a story about Calphis, the hippopotamus, who, they said, upon the day discovering a crowbar which had in some way got into his bale of hay,
decided entirely on his own volition
that is, reasoned it out for himself that crowbars weren't good to eat, al
though hippopotami In the wild state
never come in contact with such things.
Some skepticism was expressed as to the truth of tills story, and the ques
tion was tested before a number of
witnesses. Sure enough, Caliph carefully picked the wisps of hay from about the crowbar, but never even tried to chew the latter, and when the hay was all gone, although manifestly still hungry, he lay down beside the bar without even casting a longing glance in Its direction. In the face of this test no one can deny that animals reason New York Globe.

Boise. Ida., June 20. The state made dramatic production and proof of the Goddard bomb, and beside offering further contributions of the testimony of Harry Orchard ajralnst William L. Haywood secured a ruling under which a number of the denunciatory articles published in The Miners"
Magazine, oliicial oruan of the Western Federation of Miners, will be admitted in evidence. To Justice Luther M. Goddard himself fell the task of telling the story of the finding and preservation for use as evidence of the bomb with which Orchard tried to kill
him. His appearance on the stand added another to the many dramatic scenes and situations that have characterized the trial, and his testimony was clear and minutely circumstantial. Judge Goes liomb Hunting. The veteran Colorado jurist testified that the tirst information that he received about the bomb came to film
from Orchard's confession, which was
shown to him at Denver on Feb. 13,

Orchard said he placed, the bomb, and

packed very hard around it.
liulkeley Wells IJijrs It Up.
The bomb was dug up the next day
by General liulkeley Wells, who used
a pocket knife to cut the soil away and raise the pine box containing the
bomb. There was a small phial on top
of the box, and attached to the rubber cork, of the phial was a piece of rusted wire. The bomb and its attachment were nt once taken to the office
of the Pinkerton detective agency and
carefully sealed In wrappers and envelopes that were signed by half a dozen witnesses. Including Justice G-oddard. and after that they were placed in a vault to the door of which seals-, including that of a notary public, were attached. Kept in the Vault Until May. There they rested until the following
May '22, when, believing the Haywood case was to come to trial, they were removed in the presence of the same witnesses, and all save three of the forty sticks of giant powder contained in the bomb were exploded. The explosions occurred in the presence of the witnesses at a point in the suburbs of Denver, and of the bomb itself twelve
giant caps and two wrappers torn from sticks of giant powder wore saved as evidence.
Borah Produces the Exhibits. Senator I'orah produced the several
packets as they were originally sealed,
and commencing with the phial passed them to Justice Goddard, who broke the seals and identified the articles. After the phial came the little screweye, then the dozen giant caps, and last the powder wrapper. Attorney Richardson and Darrow, for the defense, objected to all the evidence and all the exhibits, and moved to strike out everything, but the court ruled "gainst them all along the line.

The morning session was spent Li arguing the admissibility of the editorials and articles published by the Miners Magazine, which the state offered as testimony. Each side took
tne cmeago anarchist cases as ita legal guide and justification, the defense pleading that the Wal propositions varied, the prosecution that they were ou all fours. Judge Wood wanted to see the articles, and took a recess from 11 a. m. until 2 p. m. to look them over. After recess he said that he had decided to let certain of the articles go before the jury, and to exclude certain ethers. He will rule only fis to the particular one that are to bo admitted and excluded.

His Landlady at 'Frisco Gives Some Interesting Testimony. Mrs. Soward, at whose home in San Francisco Hairy Orchard lived during
part of the time he was conducting his operations against Fred Bradley, gave testimony strongly corroborative of Orchard's account of his acts and experiences in San Francisco. Beside confirming Orchard's recital as to time, movements and locations, she testified that she found lead and wood shavings in Orchard's room, and a screw-eye, string and cork attached to the closet door where Orchard had been experimenting. She said her lodger had a
very heavy suitcase, and that she made up her mind that he was an in
ventor. John L. Stearns, agent at Denver for the Mutual Life Insurance company, confirmed the story Orchard told about securing employement as a solicitor for tho company before he went to Canon City to kiil ex-Governor Teabody and produced letters of recommendation which Orchard supplied in response to his request. One of the letters was from George Pettibone, a co-d"fendant of Haywood, and It made Jocular reference to the fact that Stearns was taking many agents from him, and requested in future when any of his agents applied for work thaf they be put out on the sidewalk..
