STORE COU D Coal Merchants Handle Kaufman & Wolf Without Gloves, Incidentally Hugh Meikle Gets His Dealers Discuss Dust Ordinance. When the price on 1,000 tons of coal placed on the market by the Lion store went down, the other coal dealers In the city went up In the air. At a meeting of the coal dealers last evening, In the office of William Ahlborn, the firm of Kaufmann & Wolf was hauled over the coal, so to speak, for dipping Into the coal business, resulting in what the coal men believe to be disastrous competition. Hugh Meikle, one of the city's big coal men, had entered into an arrangement with the Lion Store to deliver the 1,000 tons of coal at practically cost price, and while the Lion store placed the coal on the market, it was done merely as an advertisement to ge' patrons to come to the basement of the big store, and there place their orders and then incidentally see the many other bargains. It was great advertising for the Lion store, but, according to the coal men, little profit for Mr. Meikle and ruinous competition for them. Meikle Will Be "Good" Hereafter. Mr. Meikle was at the meeting last evening, and Is said to have assured the other coal men that hereafter he would be good, a thing which is not very hard to do in view of the fact that profit on the deals must be small. The patrons of the Lion store, however, who have placed their orders have the assuranoe of the Lion store that the coal will be delivered, as per contract. Another matter which was brought up for discussion was the ordinance passed last Monday evening at a special meeting of the. council. The ordinance provides that coal must be wetted and sprinkled by the coal dealers practically every time they handle it. Leaving aside the question as to the Increased cost of handling It, If it necessary to sprinkle all of it, the coal men denounced the ordinance as impractical, for the reason that it will be a hardship on the coal men, especially in , the . winter t!nie,. whcR e wetted coal Is bound to freeze together. Politic Mixed In Agitation. The underlying motive in the ordinance is said to have been cue to an agitation by property owners whose objections were aimed against the G. P. Stout coal yard, on Kane street, east of Sohl street, and against the dust and dirt created by the Erie Coal Storage plant. Councilman John Pascaly is further credited with having taken the opportunity by the forelock and caused the calling of a special meeting of the council, thus getting in some spectacular work, which is ex pected to give him prestige with the Third ward property owners in his campaign for re-election.

Pulled Out of the Political Pot

The republican meeting at Long's hall Wednesday evening is still the talk of the republicans of the city, who are. greatly encc-uraged at the interest shown. The consensus of opinion is that the party In Hammond is In better shape than ever and that there was never a better prospect of electing an entire republican municipal ticket. The solicitude of certain' democratic politicians lest Republican County Chairman F. Richard Schaaf come out for the nomination for mayor, Is the best indication that they realize their weakness and are afraid to have the administration take its record before the people with a good republican in the field. They have seen the handwrit ing on the wall. W, J. McAleer, 'Fighting Mack," is just the man to lead the republican forces to victory In the opinion of many of many of the party leaders. All he now needs is to have the backing of a strong candidate for mayor and the people will do the rest. Oscar Plageman, proprietor of Os car's barber shop, in the Kleihege block, gave his name to Attorney John Gavlt, secretary of the democratic city central committee, today, announcing his candidacy for the nomination as Second ward councilman. No opposition has as yet developed in his own ranks, while several candidates, among them Henry Whitaker, are mentionel on the republican side. It may be expected that Bill New man will soon be in the thick of It seeking the republican nomination for councilman-at-large. By appointment Mr. Newman is now cooincllman-at-large and Is a member of the judiciary committee in the council. W. B. Muir, the tea and coffee man, says he will be a candidate for councilman on the democratic ticket In the Seventh ward. This ward is now represented by J. M. Aurner, a democrat, who holds his position by appointment and who doesn't know yet whether he will run or not. Refrigerators RecoveredThe refrigerators belonging to Ar mour & Co., which were lost after the Sells-Floto shows left Hammond, have been recovered by the police. There were five of them and the residents of the neighborhood, thinking that they had been abandoned, took them to their homes. The loss was reported by Wells Far go & Co., and the refrigerators are said to have been valuable. Police After Snyder. The Hammond police have sent out descriptions of Dr. George L. Snyder, who defrauded a north side woman out of the price of a pair of glasses and 2 5whlch she gave him oh a check, and they hope to hav him captured in some near by city. Special Services. The Sunday school of the First Meth odist church will enjoy reunion serv ices Sunday morning. It is hoped that all who have returned from vacations will be present.
