HAMMOND'S WORD TO THE WISE.

Attorney K. K. Knapp, representing the United States Steel corporation In the matter of tho Gary franchises, made one significant statement in his brief talk before the Gary board last Saturday when he said he doubted Frank Gavit's ability to get enough money to build tho city's traction system and to make the necessary extensions in advance of the real needs of the city. The people of Gary should profit by the experience of the people of its neighboring city, Hammond, and award their franchise to a company that will not be pressed to the utmost to scrape up enough money to build their line and then have nothing left for extensions. The Hammond line until recent years has never been a paying proposition. The road was built in accordance with its franchise on tho streets that were specified. It took all of the resources of the company to make the line already built pay expenses. When improvements in the service were sadly needed and when it was necessary to make extensions into new territory, the Hammond company found Its hands full, and it was only after years of tolerance on the part of its patrons that better service is finally being provided and the extension to the Standard Steel Car company's plant was made. Gary will grow at a much more rapid rate than Hammond, and with the enormous subsidiary concerns that are coming in, it will require an enormous expenditure of money to make the needed extensions to give the people of Gary the service they need. It is apparent if the Gavit syndicate is able to build the line and then operate It along the lints laid out in his franchise, which leaves a big question as to whether the line will pay, that at any rate he will not be able to make any extensions, and what is more these extensions will ONLY BE MADE WHEN TIIEKE ARE DIVIDENDS IN IT. The United States Steel corporation, however, does not look upon the Gary franchise as a means of making money. It is a means to an end and that end la to provide facilities for the working men who are employed in the plant and lor the other citizens who compose the city. An adequate traction system is as important to a city as the capilary system Is to the human body and it is because tho officials of the steel corporation 'Know that to clog up the channels of traffic will prevent a healthy growth of th city that they are so anxious to control the situation. The United States Steel corporation will give the people of Gary good service whether it pays or not. It will extend the lines where necessary whether they pay or not, and it is very apparent why the people have risen up to demand that the city build Gary's street car system as well as control its other public Utilities. WONDER WHY we don't get more policemen? Let's figure It out this way." The average weight of the members of the present force is 213 pounds and their height averages over six feet. If the weight of the average man was 160 pounds, which is putting It pretty high, we would have a surplus on each of the seventeen men, over the average, of 53 pounds, making the total weight of tho men over the average seventeen men of 933 pounds, or very nearly six average men. Nineteen plus six men makes twenty-five, or all the law allows a city of twenty-five thousand Inhabitants. If we haven't enough police In numbers, we have enough in weight, and that Is some consolation. IN ACCIDENT bulletin number twenty-nine issued by the stato department at Washington, the casualties in railroad accidents in the past three months amounted to 20.4G3 persons, with a death list of 439. Though we contemplate that record with horror, it is somewhat encouraging to note that It is smaller by SSI than that of tho previous three months covered by bulletin number twenty-eight. Thus in the Fhort period of a quarter of a year nearly as many people as there are In the city of Hammond are killed or maimed by accidents on the railroads, most of which could be avoided by the use of reasonable care and precaution. NOW THAT tho people of East Chicago have decided upon a new city

hall it is to be hoped they will use good judgement in selecting a site for its

location. The present location along side of the railroad tracks is like the

location of the Hammond city hall, the least desirable in the city. No matter what pull this or that alderman has and regardless of the strings that are

tied to them it is to bo hoped they will put aside personal consideration long

enough to locate the new city hall where it will be a credit to the city.

WHAT PRICE that tho north side man whose hat was withheld by his

wife was not in the habit of going out nights? THE CITY HALL, in East Chicago and the postofflce in Indiana Harbor. Now you're talking. THAT WILD man Incident is developed Into quite a Sampson-Schley affair. "AND THEY gave him a medal for that" eh Ilanlon?

WITH THE EDITORS

John Minnich's Way.

There is a modest arid unassuming foundry watchman in the nearby Industrial suburb of Hegewlseh, John Minnich by name, who should be otTered, without delay, by Chief of Police Shippy, a place In tho central detail. The reason is this: Fred Heintz, a resident of the city proper, was walking on Friday along tho tracks of one of tha railways in Hegewisch. where ho had business, when he was confronted by four highwaymen and an equal number of revolvers. To the demand, "Stand and deliver!" he stood and delivered $23 in cash and a gold watch. At this moment John Minnich put In feppearanee. He also carried a revolver, and on approaching the scene of the highway robbery carried it in such a way that one of the robbers fled.

whila the other three held up their

hands and surrendered.

In a short space of time, so short aa to be almost Incredible, Jonh Minnich had tho three ruffians in the lockup, had recovered the stolen prop

erty, had sent Fred Heint rejoicing

about his business, and had arranged

for tho necessary testimony so that there will be no trouble in sending

the highwaymen to the penitentiary. Now, It is possible that John Mln

n'ch is needed in Hegewisch. and it

is possible that Hegewisch would not

care to part with -him, but wo need him in the city. His opportunities will be greater, his chances of promotion will be increased, and we will all

feel easier when passing the mouths

of alleys next winter if we know that

he is somewhere within the loop.

Highway robbery as a profession would never have made much progress

in Chicago were it not for the ease

safety, and even comfort which have

attended its prtctice here In the past.

We do not believe that similar condi

tions are going to prevail here in the

future: we are quite certain that they

will not if Chief of Police Shippy wil

for a series and should at least break even.

The Cubs took kindly to the Giants again yesterday and scored two runs when Dummy Taylor made a wild throw to third. So the visitors packed their grips and started back to New York with one little game out of the five played in this series. There was not so much trouble as the day before, but Sammy Strang had to be banished. Klem had an off day, and when he roasted the Giants on one or two occasions the crowd took up the part of the beliggerant ones. Brown pitched a fine game for the Cubs, and the Giants were only able to secure but three hits off his delivery. The Cubs did not do much better and only got four off Dummy Taylor. The Phillies open up today.

Sonoma Girl won the Empire State stakes yesterday at Buffalo after one of the most sensational races that was ever pulled off In the harness game. The mare showed her versatility, and is now ready to go on the vaudeville stage. In the first heat she broke and narrowly escaped the flag, won the second, and in the third crashed into the fence, ran away for over a mile with the shattered sulky at her feet, throwing the driver. She was placed sixth by the Judges after an investigation and then went In the next heat and won the race.

The men on the sick lists of the big teams this year are rapidly rounding into form and one by one are dropping back into their old positions. For the Sox, Davis and Isbell are back; Philadelphia has Murphy back into the fold, Keeler and Conroy are now playing for New York after an absence; Flick and Lajoie rlayed with Cleveland this week and now Bradley and Bay are the only ones awaited, besides a new first baseman, Kid Elberfleld promises to get back to New York next week after making up with Griffith.

The Benny Yanger-Facky McFarland go looks to be a sure thing at South Bend this month, and it will be a great fight. Many of the sports from Chicago and this section will go down to see the go. Both boys are getting Into shape, and it remains to be seen whether Yanger can get back into old time shape or not. I think McFarland ought to win at any price.

Jimmy Britt and Joe Gans seem to be sincere about getting together this month and are awaiting bids for their match from some of the clubs. Reno, San Francisco and Colma are offering purses and percentages, but they have not been accepted by the men as yet. This week will probably tell the story as to which club will get the prize package.

The Leland Glant3 won the first game from the Mike Donlin "All Stars" yesterday through the pitching of Rube Foster. Only seven hit3 were the exleaguers able to get off the colored man's delivery. Percy Skillin, the exDartmouth man, pitched for the stars and was touched up for eleven hits. The score was 3 to 2.

Arlie Latham, the old major league buffoon, is to break into the Central league as an umpire, and here is luck to his venture. He was once one of the best players in tho country, and his coaching was always a feature of any game in which he played.

WESTERN LEAGUE. Pueblo, 1 ; Denver, 3. Lincoln, 2; Omaha, 1 (ten innings). Dcs Moines-Sioux City, rain.

The tennis championships at Boston are the whole show in the tennis world at the present time. All of the cracks

are playing. Clothier, Whitman, Lam

ed, Seaver, Wright, Ware and Hallowel.

The Sox bought a new pitcher, Olm-

stead of Springfield. He is a strong batter and a good twirler.

Still in second place but still win

ning, and the race grows all the more exciting to the fans. The Sox cleaned up New York yesterday and the Tigers lay Idle, while the Phillies again won

from Cleveland and are but ten points

behind the Sox and but eighteen points

behind the Tigers. If that isn't a race show me one that Is. Well. It was

Smith's turn yesterday and he made good, winning his game by a score of

to 2. The Highlanders were unable

to do much with his shoots and only in the early part of the game were they able to get men across the plate. Moore,

on the other hand, was touched up for

seven hits in as many innings and Chesbro who went in at that point.

was hit for two runs and one hit. Hahn

was the only man to get two hits for

the Sox, one going for a three-bagger

while Dougherty also got a three-sack-

er. The Chicago team looked better

yesterday with Rohe the only sub play

ing. The Sox open up at Boston today

secure the service of John Minnich

and a few hundred men who will

measure up to him.

The trouble in the past has been

that most of our highwaymen suc

ceeded in getting away. Even when

the highwayman has worked single handed he has had the alley or the street or tho ward to himself. The

policemen, as a rule, under recent ad

ministrations, did not learn anything about a high-way robbery until the victim reported it at the station. Sometimes he was not able to report it at tho station, and the3" the police knew

nothing about the facts until they

were brought out at the coroner's in

quest. The coroner s inquest was never over the highwayman, and this was another source of complaint among the citizens who paid the taxes

which paid the police.

John Minnich's way is the better way. In time, we have no doubt, he would be able to arrest 100 per cent of the highwaymen operating on his

beat, instead of 73 per cent, as in Hegewisch. Or, if his marksmanship

would be so improved that it would

amount to the same thing. However, aside from all this, as re

marked before, we need John Minnich

on the Chicago force for a good ex

ample, if for no other purpose. Chi

'ii mt Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is the ideal summer drink. It is cooling, satisfying and refreshing. It makes the enjoyment of the outdoor luncheon complete, for it is a food as well as a drink.

Pabst brews for food qualities as well as for purity and flavor. Pabst found the only way to get all of the food-values out of the barley-grain was to follow Nature in making the malt, by growing it slowly and scientifically, and he therefore perfected the Pabst Eight-Day Malting Process. Pabst Malt is richer in nutriment than other malts.

The Beer of

is a more healthful, wholesome food than other beers. The Pabst Perfect Brewing Process blends the rich food values of Pabst Eight-Day Malt with the tonic properties of the choicest hops under conditions that insure positive purity, while reducing the percentage of alcohol to the minimum less than 3. Pabst Blue Ribbon is the ideal family beer, because of its food values, its purity and its remarkably small amount of alcohol, making it a truly temperance drink. When ordering beer ask for Pabst Blue Ribbon. Made by Pabst at Milwaukee And Bottled only at the Brewery, Pabst Brewing Co., Fayette & Oakley Ave., Hammond. Phone 2342.

J.Ir. Xelson, who was much annoyed

by stray dogs burying bones in his garden at Linden Hills, secured a

lion while he was In Europe, paying

$2S7.50 for a rather weather-beaten king of beasts, but one that was guaranteed in every respect. The lion became a great pet on the way over and came to know his master's voice and obey it. Its name wa3 Henry. Arrived at Linden Hills, Mr. Nelson let Henry out Into the back yard and simply waited. At 7:30 on the first morning a New

foundland dog as large as a small garage walked into the yard to step

on the flower beds as usual and to tip over the garbage can. The lion saw

the dog enter the yard and the dog

Just barely saw the lion. "Crunch!"

That was all. It was the sound made by Henry eating the dog. At

8:10 a monster bulldog smelled his

way into the garden to rip up a yard

of soil among the petunias. "Kl-yi!" "Crunch!"

The bulldog had gone hence. By

11:30 Henry's score stood: One Newfoundland, one bulldo

four fox terriers, an Irish, setter and

two plain dogs. Everything that came

into the yard collided with the lion

and lo, it was not.

Mr. Nelson was so joyous over the experiment that he could not go to work that day, but just sat around and felt good. In six weeks the dogs

were either all in cr were avoiding the place by going two blocks the other way. Then the circus came

around, and the lion wa3 so fat and glossy that Mr. Nelson disposed of him to tha menagerie department for $327.75. Minneapolis Journal.
