A nice I little banquet and smoker has been arranged to wind up the evening, j The candidates slated for this evening are: Jesse Morris, J. W. McMullen, Silas Congdon, James Mclnery, Peter Brahos and George Brahos. SITE IS HOT SOLO The report was circulated around Hammond this morning that the site of the G. II. Hammond company's old plant in this city had been sold to the New York Central lines. This report is said, on good authority, to be untrue. The facts are that the Indiana Harbor railroad desires to build a double track along the Michigan Central's four tracks in the north side of the right of way. It is the purpose of the Indiana Har bor railroad to build these two extra tracks from Calumet park to the interlocking tower at the Michigan Central crossing of Hohman street. To do this It will be necessary for the railroad to buy a right of way from the G. H. Hammond company, or rather the National Packing company, the new name of the old company. It was this contemplated purchase mat prooauiy gave rise to the rumor that the New York Central lines would buy the site of the old plant. Hegewisch Man Dead. Thomas Kelly, 45 years old, living at 13552 Superior avenue, Hegewisch, died yesterday afternoon, pulmonary hemor rhage having been the direct cause of

his death. He had, however, been sl"

ior some time past. The lune

BOARD SIGNS THE FRANCHISE (Continued from Page One.)

optional with the board as to whether the Gary & Interurban shall double j track on Sibley street, or the board having reserved this permission to itself in case it wants to grant a franchise over Sibley street to any other line. A further provision was added that all other incoming interurbana who use the tracks of the parent line must stop their cars where the board shall designate. The only serious contention that arose last night was a question as to the forfeiture of the $10,000 liquidating damage bond. The last section of the franchise provides that the company shall forfeit its franchise If it falls to operate In Hammond within six months and establish connections between Hammond and Gary within nine months. The council in sisted that in that event the company not only lose its franchise but also for feit Its $10,000 bond. After some argument on both side the company made the concession. Raise Depot Question. It was this noon after the board had adjourned that the question as to a depot was raised by a Times' representative. The language In the franchise reads that the company shall maintain a "suitable depot" somewhere on Sibley street, between the Nickel Plate tracks and Hohman street. Since there may be a ques tion as to what may be a suitable de pot it was suggested that the language be more specific, providing either as to how much money shall be spent on a station or giving the exact plans and specifications. Mr. Darrow objected to any such provisions, saying that he did not propose to commit himself as to building a depot and possibly be held up for the price on a site, but that he would agree that the maintenance of the depot shall be under the supervision of the board of public works. Mr. Darrow is Inclined to believe that he can rent a suitable depot within the pre scribed lmit. In the event of building the structure would have to be in accordance with the ordinance regulat ing buildings within the fire limits. Company Denfren Immediate Action. The Gary & Interurban people de sire official action on the franchise as soon as possible In order that they might begin building operation. They would have preferred to see the franchise go to its first reading last night. but the council thought best to take it under advisement for a week and, therefore, a special meeting will be called by the mayor. Councilman John Becker presided as mayor pro tern., In the absence of May or Becker last evening, Councilman J Kaptur and Harry Eastwood being the only absentees. In addition to going over the Inter urban franchise, the council ratified the coal contract by which the firm of Bieker Bros, are to supply the pumping station with coal. The telephone company was granted a franchise to lay a spur over Torrence avenue, from the C. T. T. railroad to the telephone company's supply yarvis. Ordinance No. 110 was amended in regard to the building of porticos and balconies. W. O'ROURKE LECTURES The manufacture of gas, a subject which is interesting, but about which the public knows very little, Is to be laid bare this evening before the Wednesday Night club, by William O'Rourke, superintendent of the gas plant of the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric company. The position alone which Mr. O'Rourke holds and his accompanying experience should entitle him to a very attentive audience. lie will speak from his own experience In the manufacture of gas, and this information, coming first hand, ought to be very entertaining and educational at the same time. The subject is doubly interesting in a community where gas Is one of the modern conveniences of life. Notice of Meeting. The regular meeting of the Baraca Bible class of the First Baptist church will be held in the class room of the church, Thursday evening, April 22, 1909, at 7:30 o'clock.
