GOIISIOEB MATTER OF RAfilSHAGKLE DEPOTS Large Attendance of Business Men Expected at Association Meeting. HOT TALKS ARE LOOKED FOB Subject of Interurbans and Reasons for Delay of Work, Also Topic. Will the business men of Hammond can the bluff of the Monon railroad re gardlng its refusal to build a new de
pot in Hammon, or will they sit idly by while the town is being bully ragged by the company's officials and continued the laughing stock of fourthclass cities in Indiana, owing to its ramshackle depots? The question will receive the attention of the Hammond Business Men's association at Its regular meeting next Thursday night, and it is expected that the smouldering sentiment will vent itself. It has been suggested today that resolutions be drawn up and passed, which will not only denounce' the company's treatment toward Hammond, but also that the traveling public and the business men show the company the same consideration that it is showing Hammond, in other words, ignore the road a It ignores Hammond. The case of the Erie railroad which also maintains a big barn for a depot is practically similar, and the same treatment may be suggested for that "company at the meeting. The depot propositionwill be one of the principal topics at the business men's meeting, and every member who claims any civic pride will manifest it by his attendance on Thursday night. The subject of interurbans will be another headliner for the evening. How to get them to Hammond and why the Gary & Interurban and the Indiana and Chicago Traction are delaying their work will be the theme handled by Frank Gavlt of Whiting, he being president of the Gary & Interurban; W. J. Riley, treasurer of thn Indiana
& Chicago Traction company and A. F. Knotts, former mayor of Hammond. There are so many things that need the attention of the business men that no attempt has been made to formulate a program for the evening's session outside of the above topics. The indications, however, are that there will be other subjects taken up. RECEIVE BIDS BEWjttl CELLS i Board of Public Works Takes Matter Under Advisement.

Large Audience Witnesses "The Prince of Tonight." Last night the Prince of Tonight at Towle's Opera House entertained the largest number of people that has crowded into this theater since -The I Time, The Place and The Girl" played j here three years ago. The reception that the people of Hamj mond gave to this really high class Biiiaiiiuu was a wormy one, and it has convinced Manager Roy C. Emery that the people of Hammond, who are used to seeing good attractions in Chicago, will patronize them here if they get a chance. The audience was an appreciative one. and the acting of Henry Woodruff, the leading man, was received with the greatest of enthusiasm. The chorus was of high class and the music was of the high character that has made this play famous the country over. Manager Emery says that there were only thirty of the $1.50 seats in the house unsold, and he could have sold out a larger number of the cheaper seats. Two Drunks Picked Up. John Mason was arrested by Officer Eorchert and William Moore was arrested by Officer Bunde on the charge of being intoxicated. Mason has not yet been tried and Moore, who resides at 539 Truman avenue, agreed to appear at 9 o'clock this morning, but failed to do so.
