' While the work of organization has been slow, the Hammond Business Men's association Is surely laying the foundation for future usefulness to the community. Probably the most Important step that has yet been taken Is the appointment of a set of committees which will take hold of the various tasks which have, been allotted to them and which is sure to result in the improvernent and betterment of the city. There has been appointed a civic committee, a reception committee, a city public improvement committee on manufactures, transportation, adervtlsejnent and membership. This Indicates the line of activity which is contemplated by the organisation. If tho members of the committees do their duty, Hammond, the city ;f their adoption, will be a better city for their having lived in it. Hammond is a young city, as it always will be. It has the possibility of , becoming the most attractive residence center in the Calumet district. It is ; therefore all the more apparent that the work that is cut out for a civic organization, that Is to come up to the full measure of its responsibility, 13 great 'and requires the expenditure of a large amount of time and energy on the 'part of all of its members. So far, except in times of emergency, the Hammond Business Men's ai- , soclatlon has not been an important factor in the community. It has lacked aggressiveness. The citizens of Hammond have been permitted to forget the ' fact of its existence. . ,
Recently, however, the old organization has been resuscitated. It has
Viefn reluvenated bv the inlectlon of a
possibilities in it for much good and the people of Hammond should give '. the organization the support which a real civic club merits. . By all means let us give fullest support to the Hammond Business Men's tssociation. A strong pull and a long pull and a. pull that all together.

eart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye. A BRIDE AND A WOODEN LEG. This is an Iliad of a -woman's wooden leg. A Pittsburg dentist has been sued by a physician of the same city for the recovery of $100. the price of a wooden leg furnished some years ago for the young woman who afterward became the dentist's wife. And the questions ask themselves: Is the wooden limb of a bride a part of the bride's person or an accessory after the fact? Does the man who marries a girl with an artificial member take that leg "to have and to hold, to love, cherish and protect for better or for worse, till death do them part?" Attorneys for the plaintiff, it is understood, did not claim that the wooden member was part and parcel of the person married. They put their claim upon the peg that when a man marries he assumes all the indebtedness of the wife. Which in this case seems reasonable. Eecause in event of the wife's death the husband falls heir to her property. Manifestly, should the wife die her husband would be seized of the wooden leg. On the other handAttorneys for the husband make the natural defense that the doctor did not marry the limb of wood, that it did not enter into the nuptial contract, that the doctor assumed no unusual obligation respecting it and that It was not more a part of the woman he married than her gown or her Bhoes. From which it would seem the discussion at the trial did not leave either side a leg to stand upon. The court, however, decided that the husband must pay for the limb, whereupon he appealed. Doubtless the court was right. The husband may not have had advance knowledge respecting the wooden leg, or, having this knowledge, chivalry would dictate his claiming that he did not know. The fact is, when the dentist courted his wife he courted her wooden leg and all, and when he married her he married wooden leg and all. The family should stand smilingly on its three legs and pay the physician's bill. IN POLITICS There has been some talk during the past week of putting an independent democratic ticket in the field for North township. The sentiment is strongest in East Chicago and the name of Fred Flack of Flack Brothers of East Chicago, is most frequently mentioned as the candidate. "I have not yet fully decided what I will do," said Mr. Flack to The Times today. "I am very busy with my own work, but of course, if the sentiment would grow and the independents Insist upon it, I might consent to have my name placed on the ticket." Hammond republicans are looking forward to the time when a republican club will be organised in this city. The republican organlaztlon wave Is beginning to sweep over the country, and while It was started In Gary several months ago, will start In earnest In Lowell tomorrow night. It costs about ?400 this year to be a democratic county candidate. This does not mean that It is all the money a candidate will have to spend, but It is merely an assessment which is to be paid Into the county central committee fund. The Lake county democrats at the present time are like the man who fell out of the fortieth story window of a building and as he passed a man standing on-the thirtieth story window, yelled, "I'm all right, so far." Crown Point Register. Kentland, Ind., May 14. The democratic convention of the Thirty-first Judicial district, composed of Newton and Jasper counties, yesterday indorsed Judge Charles W. Hanley of Rensselaer, the republican candidate, for re-election. The democrats say his decisions have been so fair they are perfectly satisfied to have him serve another term. T. B. Cunningham of Kentland, a young lawyer, who favors temperance and law enforcement, was nominated for prosecutor. The Newton county democratic convention will be held at Mt. Ayr, on July 9. National Chairman New in Chicago, yesterday made a few statements regarding convention tickets. First he announced that no tickets to the republican, national convention would be sent to any one by mall, no matter who ho might be. Every ticket to the national convention will be kept under lock and key until forty-eight

Governor Hani poured some hot shot Into what he termed was th little coterie of men who favor limestone for the Pippecanoe monument over granite. These men include Will Wood, Congressman Crumpacker and George Haywood and he names them as Interested parties. The committee on resolutions, repre senting the Indiana Independent Tele phone asociatlon. will a report asking the legislature to pass a law creating an Indiana telephone commission. The farmers in the vicinity of Rising Sun have organized for the purpose of protecting themselves against the depredation of the night raiders. Rewards will be offered for the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties. Only a few hours after a man offered to sell him a burglar alarm II. C. Newcomb of Indianapolis, was visited by burglars "Why, I have lived in this house for 30 years without one," was the excuse he gave the salesman. Eight hundred delegates are attending the triennial conference of the Lutheran Synod of Missouri, embracing the United States, Canada and South America. Dr. F. Pleper of St. Louis, the president, is in attendance. There will be a course offered at Indiana university which will teach the pupil the use of law books. The number of law publicans has become so numerous that this course Is expected hours before the convention doors are opened, and then they will be distributed only in Chicago. Owing to the unchecked deluge of ticket demands Mr. New has decided that no season tickets will be issued. To make them go as far as possible, the tickets will be Issued by sessions. If the convention lasts the larger part of a week, with two or three sessions a day, this ought to spread the available seats out over a considerable portion of visitors who otherwise would get little for their Journey to Chicago. The Chicago demand for tickets will be cared for exclusively by the Chicago committee. This committee will be allotted 25 per cent of all the tickets. The others will be distributed through the national committeeman from each state. Washington, May 14. Governor Hanly today filed with Acting Secretary of War Oliver a remarkable report In opposition to Bedford limestone and In favor of granite as the material for the Tippecanoe battlefield monument. A bomb shell thrown Into the ranks of the advocates of Indiana limestone could not have created more surprise than some of the governor's assertions. The governor handles without gloves the little coterie of men who, he says. Inspired all of the opposition to granite. He includes his former law partner. Senator Wood, O. A. Reser, George Haywood and Representative Crumpacker. He accuses the "interested" parties of lacking in common fairness and courtesy, and says that Senator Wood is still "true to the habit of loose statement, to which he Is addicted."

DROPS DEAD WHILE WAITINGJOR TRl Suudden Death of Traveler at Indiana Harbor Today.
WAS ON HIS 1Y TO MICH. Chicago Man Said I'm Getting Dead Tired of Waiting for That Train. "Well, I'm getting dead tired of waltilng for that train, said John K. Newhouse, of Chicago, at the Lake Shore depot In Indiana Harbor, this morning. He sighed with Trcatiness to the friends with him an all at once bis les bent under himi and be toppled over In a heap on the station platform. Medical help was summoned but when physicians arrived Newhouse had traveled to the Grest Station above. His remains were taken to Teal's morgue and an Inquest will be held by Deputy Coroner Dr. Sauer this afternoon. On Wny to Michigan. Newhouse, who was a young Dane, lived at 173 Adams street, was on his way to Stevmoville, Mich., where. In company with two other Chicago men, Harry B. Askew and A. E. Scott, he Intended to work on a fruit farm. Newhouse had lost his Job in Chicago lately and was absolutely without a cent of money. It is believed that he was so faint and weak from hunger that he fell an easy prey to heart failure. The three men had panhandled out of Chicago and were waiting at the Lake Shore depot at the Harbor to flag the bumpers for their destination. The dead man has a brother who is on the fire department in Omaha and a wire was sent him of his brother's fate. OFFICIAL HAS BEEN THREATENED (Continued from page 1). be the outcome of the remonstrance he said that there waa no question but what it would be successful. The only possible chance to defeat It would be to prove that the signers were not legal voters. As far as fraud was concerned he said that (the charge could not hold In court, and that aa far as he knew that It bad never been practiced In securing the signatures. In regard to the effect on real estate values, it was the opinion, of the real estate man that they would not be affected In the least. "I would probably be hit the hardest of any of them If such were the case," said Mr. Bryan, "and It would be to my personal Interest to have them remain. He Roasts Mayor Knotts. "I have only to cite to you the cities that have been made dry to prove my assertion. I believe that the financial condition will Improve, that the relgn of crime will be greatly checked, that property values will ultimately increase, and that the merchants In general will find a great Improvement In their business." In regard to the antagonism to the movement, as signified by the action of the real estate board and commercial clubs, Mr. Bryan said that he believed that they were governed by mercenary motives, and In speaking of Mayor Knotts' position in the matter he said, "When Mayor Knotts treated his friends to drink on his birthday and the anniversary of his arrival In Gary, he not only prostituted the men he treated, but his physical being, his moral being, his citizenship and the high office to which ho was by decent people elected."

GAME WARDENS BE BIG HAUL Cedar Lake Surprised by Arrest of Nine of Its People.
JUDGE NICHOLSON HEARS CASE Traveling Deputies Make Twenty Ar rests in Two Days in One Part and Another. That the game warden, Z. Sweeney, is weary of the way the Lake county deputies are doing business is evidenced by the fact that at Crown Point, Ilohart and Cedar Lake, twentytwo arreftts have been made where violations of the fish laws took place. Cedar Lake Yesterday. Roderick D. Fleming and James Storeburner, deputy game warden, swooped down on Cedar Lake yesterday and secured evidence enough to arrest nine men for violating the state game law, under the 619 section of the 1905 acts. The men were tried today before Judge Nicholson and each fined $5 and costs amounting-to $33.50 for each offense. They were charged with seining and spearing fish. The following were the offenders: Martin Mushbach. Charles Thompson. Clarin Surprise. Guy Surprise. "Con" Surprise, Chuck Carson. Schuyler Stilson. Thomas Taylor. Martin Zurbriggen. Deputies Are Criticised. Quite a little adverse comment la heard on the action of the wardens In prosecuting the cases with such vigor, but they are In no way to blamo and are following instructions of higher officials. Several more arrests are apt to occur today for ihe samo offense, and the officials are determined to put an end to the promiscuous violation of the game law, and advertise the matter so that no ore in the future need plead ignorance of the law as an excuse. The game Jaw as regards fishing was printed in these columns some time ago at the Inquiry and request of one of Taa Timss readers. ' GARY AUTO COMPANY STARTEDJTESTERDAY Will Start Passenger Service to Hammond Next Monday. The Gary Automobile company ha been organized In Gary with a capital stock of 125,000. The officers of tho corporation are Otto C. Borman. president; W. L. Cole of Stubenvllle, 0 vice president, and W. C Young of the real estate firm of Vossler & Young, secretary and treasurer. The new concern, which has secured its charter at Indianapolis, is to establish an automobile passenger service Uetween-Garv. and Hammond and Gary and Crown Point. A garage will be built on .Martha Street, Toleston. and five large ma chines have been purchased for the service. They are Ramblers and Cadillacs and will cost several thousand dollars each. In addition there will be several smaller machines kept la the garage for hire. The passenger service will be in op eration next Monday and the first care will run to Hammond and the county seat on that day. There will be two trips each way, one In the morning and one In the afternoon, and the schedule of fares will be published on that day. Swane General Manager. C. H. Swane of the Gary Laundry company, will be made general manager of the new company. He was formerly connected with the Indiana Garage company of Indianapolis, of which he was also general manager, and ho is well qualified for the work which he is to undertake. While the garage will be in Toleston there will be station all along the route between Gary and the terminal points, where regular stops will be made. The trip to Crown Point will be made In about thirty minutes, while the trip to Hammond will require about 45 to 50 minutes until the direct road is bullt. That the company is well bnrv('? 'n the new enterprise Is shown by tha fact that Otto Borman, the Gary rck estate dealer. Is one of the promoters, and W. L. Cole of Stubenvllle, O., Is a wealthy oil man and promoter. The plans for the permanent building on Martha street in Toleston are being drawn by the architect, and the automobiles will be placed In various temporary shelters until the new building is completed. WAS IT A MOTOR BOAT OR AUTOMOBILE ? This is the question that Rev. Chr. Lermberg asked himself several times yesterday while on the road and In the water his new two-cylinder Rambler touring car says the Valpo Messenger. While the roads from here to Hammond were In fine shape, yet beyond there they were frequently awful. Rains had washed out bridges and In one case they had to ford a stream where the water covered the engine, and It was no unusual occurrence to have It axle deep for some distance. He said that an automobile dealer referred to the Rambler as a boat, and now he knows what he meant as he Is convinced the car the other dealer tried to sell him would not have stood yesterday's test.
