BDY CITY" PLANS ATTRACT LADS FROM HAMMOND
The local interest In the "Boys' City," to be established at Charlevoix, Mich., under the auspices of Judge Willis Brown, is growing since Judge Brown came to Hammond last Sunday and told the boys of his plans for the greatest boys' city the world has ever known. It Is understood that In the neighborhood of eighteen Hammond boys have already decided to go to Charlevoix, and the Hammond colony will be one of the largest in the city. Through a magnificent offer, which lias been made by George C- Locklin of the Enterprise Bed company In this city, the Hammond boys will be able to make the trip at remarkably small expense. Locklin to Aid Boys. In a letter to Rev. J. E. Snook of the First Presbyterian church in this city
Mr. Locklin has offered to furnish every I boy who goesto Charlevoix from this city with a tent, cot and camp stool. All the boys will have to take with them is a pillow and some warm blankets. The boys must let Mr. Locklin know, through Rev. Snook, by July 14 just how many of the tent cots are needed. It is believed that the Hammond camp will be oneof the most unique in the whole city. Mr. Locklin has also arranged with the management of the boys' city for a fine flagpole, which is to be erected in front of the Hammond camp. He will purchase a fine flag to adorn the pole. To Camp Three Weeks. The camping trip will be of three weeks' duration. The boyswlll leave Hammond July 22 and will return Aug. 14. It has been estimated that the . whole three weeks' outing will not cost the boy who takes it more than J20.
This includes the railroad ticket, money enough to pay the taxes of 50 cents a week and will then leave a little spending money. All of the entertainments at the boy city are free. The Ladies' Aid society of the First Presbyterian church is planning to pay the expenses of one boy to enable him to become a citizen of this famous boys' city.
Those who have In charge the plans for a boy city wish It to be clearly understood that any boy, no matter who
he Is or where he comes from, is invited to apply for admission to the Hammond colony at the Charlevoix boy
city.
In fact, a meeting of the boys and
their parents, who are interested in
this project and hope to go, wMl be held
at 7:30 o'clock Monday evening, July
12. at the First Presbyterian church.
At this meeting definite and more lm
portant arrangements for the trip will
be made. What Happens at Boy City.
Swimming, tennis, basket ball, base
ball, hare and hound races, athletic
sports and contests of all kinds.

CASH REGISTER
IS MISSING
EROI SALOI
The cash register was taken from the saloon of John Boland, 229 State street, last night and after being broken open nearly $50 in cash was taken from it. Coincidently with the robbing of the cash register the porter, William Wavers, is missing and the police suspect him of complicity in the job.
The cash register was taken from the saloon some time after the place was closed last night. Entrance to the saloon was gained through a window in the rear of the place where a screen had been shoved through the window. Charles Nemltz, 320 Claud street, a milkman, passed the place at about 3.30 a. m. and noticed five men in the vicinity. He saw them again at the corner of Oakley and Indiana avenues an hour later.' Take a Revolver. It is not believed, however, that these men had anything to do with the robbery of the saloon, as the disappear
ance of the porter is enough to convince the police that he is responsible for the act. In addition to the money a 38-call-bre Smith and Wesson revolver is miss
ing and was probably taken by the thieves. John Boland said over the telephone this- morning that the fact that the porter is missing points conclusively to the fact that he Is the guilty person. The police will make an effort to locate the missing man today and are working on the assumption that it was he who is responsible for the robbery.

W. W. Majors, alias Weavers, the porter who was suspected of robbing M. J. Boland's saloon, was arrested this morning by Officer Borchert after he aad been pointed out to the officer by Bolland himself. He had spent the night in a wild carousal in Con Moore's faloon In West Hammond. Moore did not attempt to shield the man, but gave the police the information that he had spent 40 In his place and left a re- ' vOlver, which was afterward identified as the one which was stolen. At first Majors tried to deceive the officers regarding his connection with the crime, but they sweated him until he finally admitted his guilt. He had $ 1.45 on his person when he was arrested and was under the influence of liquor. The theft and one night's carousal will, perhaps, cost Majors his liberty for from two to fourteen years. He has admitted being in the penitentiary, and it Is believed he is an old crook. ,-It Is also thought that he can be connected with the theft of the -watches
from Taussig's store, across from the
saloon.
PROPOSED RAGE EXCITES
ATTENTI01
There are no new developments in the proposed race between the automobile driven by Irving Betz and that driven by Mr. C. H. Stewart. The race was the talk of the town last night, and the city was divided between those who thought that Betz could win and those who favored Stewart. Mr. Betz stated yesterday that one
condition of the race that he would insist upon was that Mr. Stewart
should ride in his car during the race.
Mr. Stewart, it is believed, will make good on his promise to make the race,
and he is expected to put up the mon
ey as soon as he gets around to it. He
was out of the city this afternoon and could not be interviewed regarding the matter There may be some difficulty about the stakeholder. Stewart wants to put the money up with a local garage keeper and Betz has already put his up with Thb Times.

According to the complaint of Mrs. Bertha Schuetx, of Hammond, Elijah Wilson of Hessville, struck her In the face and knocked her down when she attempted to enter Mrs. Catherine Reihner'B farm which Wilson rents at Hessville. Mrs. Schuetz says that the assault was made without warning and was a
most brutal thing. She says that some of her clothes were at the Reihner farm, which Wilson is renting, and she went there to get them. No sooner had she entered the house when she was attacked by Wilson, according to her story, and was knocked out. She has sworn out a warrant for Wilson's arrest and the case came up in Judge Prest's court In Hammond at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
SLAUGHTER WILL BEGIN NEXT WEEK Valuable or NonValuable, Dogs Will Be Slain Unless Muzzled.
CHASES A HEN IS KICKED BY HORSE
(Special to The Times.) Lo-well, July 10. Chasing a hen in an attsmpt to catch it, resulted in a probable fatal accident to Charles Buckley, a wealthy farmer living southeast of Lowell. It was Thursday afternoon when Mr. Buckley attempted to put his hands o: a particular- hen which he thought lie had cornered In the barn. He chased it from place to place, and in his eagerness he stumbled, falling directly under the hoofs of one of his horses. The animal, frightened by this, kicked him a vicious blow on the skull fracturing it and laying his brain bare. The terrible: accident indirectly caused by so trivial an act, has shocked his many friends here. Few dare hope that he will recover since he has been
s6 badly Injured, but all hope that he
may escape with his life.
Next week the annual slaughter of
dogs will begin. The people have been
warned for several weeks, and the weather is now so warm that it is im-
perlttive that all dogs be muzzled to
safeguard the community.
Last year there was some difficult
with the owners of valuable dogs be
cause they thought they could trifle
with the police in regard to the mat
ter.
After several valuable dogs had been
shot, and it was seen that the police were no respectors of persons, nearly all of the dogs in the city were muzzled. It is expected that several examples will have to be set to the people of the community this year before they will
again come to the realization that it is the duty of the police to shoot all dogs whose owners do not comply with
the law.
The police maintain that they do not find any pleasure in killing dogs, but it Is hard to convince people to the con
trary.
John Bittner, a young foreigner in the Standard district, was arrested this afternoon by Officer Herman after he had struck the officer in the face in resisting arrest. According to his own confession, he had Just assaulted his father and was partly responsible for his being beaten and cut up. He is one of the "fresh" young foreigners who has just enough of an education to make him think that he has the right to have his own way in a community. When brought to the police station, he was far from being subdued, and
made threats of killing everybody who
crossed his path. At the time he was arrested he made the threat that he
would shoot the officer if e dared to
come into the house.
The officer telephone for help and
then when he got a chance he took the
gun away from the young man. Bitt
ner is only 20 years old and does not
work.

charges against him the police will, and
It is safe to say that the young man
win he sent where he will have a good long time to think over the whole af
fair.
It Is Just such young dare devils that
cause a spirit of rebellion in a mm.

permanently removed to a place where
they can do but little harm.
When brought to the station he had

Since the announcement of the location of the gigantic tin and sheet
works t the Gary plant of the Indiana Steel company, information of a more reliable source reached The Times office today, which not only confirms the
report issued in the Iron Age, but gives
further credence that the two new
manufacturing plants are to be located
at Gary.
The cost of the two plans will reach the neighborhood of $4. 000, 000, and they will employ Jointly between 4,400
and 5,000 men. By locating these great
plants at Gary, the steel corporation
will have an abundant supply of raw material on hand from the steel works for western shipments and will be ad
vantageously located as to the market
The Gary plant, when completed, wil
be 60 per cent larger than any other
plant in the world. When the new sheet and tin works are finally located
here, it is said that the tin and shee
works in the Elwood district will be
abandoned. This is due to the lack o
shipping facilities and the cost of ob
taining their raw material.
Largest Plant of Klml la World.
The direct information that The
Times is able to give to its readers fol
lows: "Two great additions to the finishing mills to be located at the new steel town of Gary. Ind., are being planned by the steel corporation, announcement of which came from the general offices of the corporation in New York yesterday. The additions are for a tin plate plant equipped with fifty mills, or the largest plant of the kind in the world by 60 per cent, and a plant of fifty mills for the rolling of steel sheets, which is also to be the largest of any of its kind. "The two plants, it is stated, will be operated by the American Sheet & Tin Plate company and will represent first of the lighter finished steel plants that will be added to the equipment at Gary. The largest sheet steel plant thus far is the Vandergrift works which has thirty-seven mills, and has held a similar position in the sheet steel trade. Both are steel corporation plants."

GROSSING DISASTER
NARROWLY AVERTED
Erie and Monon Trains Get
Farmer Badly Tangled Up.
Another crossing disaster was narrowly averted at the Hohman street crossing of the Monon railroad this morning. One train passed on the Erie railroad and another crossed on the Monon at the same time. A farmer, who gave his name as Edward Weller, was driving north with his little boy and girl in the buggy with him, and was about to cross the Monon railroad when he saw the Monon freight train coming along just in time to turn the horse to one side and avoid crossing the tracks. Had he gone two feet further he would have been struck and possibly killed. The tower man had raised the gates and failed to lower them for the second train. The flagman was at his post at the crossing, but did not seem to realize the situation until it was too late to do anything. The street was crowded with traffic, and the passing of two trains at the same time was confusing.

joining the hospital and which is now used as the sisters' home. The price paid was $6,700, and there the first charity work began, the doors being opened to the rich and poor, the sisters asking compensation from those who could afford and gave charity to the unfortunates, who had nothing but their wounds and sickness. Kept Pace Ulth City's Growth. The only encouragement that the institution received was a growing number of patients and a growing reputa
tion. But the sisters themselves had to rely on charity from the public, and it came sometimes generously and at others less so. The hospital kept pace
with the growth of Hammond and the
surrounding country. One hundred and
eighteen patients were cared for in the
hospital in the first pear. Twelve hundred were cared for during the year,
from 1907-08. In that year the number was greater than last year, owing to the panic Hammond's foreign and
factorv population having decreased
during the panic year. But of the 1,200
patients half at least were charity again. In a county case the hospital is allowed only $5 a sum which hardly
pays the bandages, medicine and board not to speak of the nursing.

That building cost $40,000, and was considered a grand institution, and Hammond was proud of it. That was nine years ago, and it soon became apparent that it would only be a matter of a few years when an addition would have to be made in order to make more room. It was not infrequent of late years that the newspapers of Hammond contained articles to the effect that the building was over-crowded with patients and that the sisters gave up their own beds for the comfort of their charges. But they builded nevertheless. That famous order of St. Francis had been building institutions for so many years that it learned to reverse the order of things, and so it happens that the splendid institution as it stands today repersents merely the rear of the hospital, the whole being planned to front on Douglas street and having an ideal court in the center. landscape gardeners are now at work building drievways and walks preparing the ground for a Lourdes grotto In the center. When that day comes when the hospital will front on Douglas street, Hammond may count on another celebration, which will outrival that of to-row-
