There had been a directors' meeting earlier in the day, but nothing definite accomplished, the matters taken up at this session being only forerunners of what took place in the evening meeting when the whole club was in session. Talks for Red IJne. Fred Crumpacker and Superintendent Green were present on invitation of the 'club, -to present the claims of the Red line, and Frank Gavit talked for the line of which he I3 president, the Gary fit Interurban.

their talks, there was some discussion on the part of the club members regarding the transportation problem and a report was submitted by the transportation committee appointed to confer with the South Shore line people. Chairman Charles E. Fowler read the correspondence that passed between his committee and General Manager C. N. "W'ilcoxson of the South Shore line and also told of the committee's interview with that official. Mr. Wilcoxson had represented, it was reported, that the Harbor branch of the South Shore line had never ben a paying venture, and that the company would prefer to abandon it altogether, rather than to maintain a fifteen minute schedule between East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. President Hembroff called attention to the fact that the South Shore, lines were seeking entrance- into Hammond from Seagram, the route to parallel the Michigan Central, and in case the franchise, is granted, he pointed out, that the road would be independent of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago altogether, and might, if not forced to live up to the terms of its franchise now, get the upper hand, thereby forcing East Chicago to 'put up with what it now has of the company or "shut up." Dotnjg Tbeir Best. Mayor Schlieker announced that he and the council were doing all witliln their power to make the South Shore people live up to their franchise and said that the city officials were open to suggestions. President Lundquist declared : that the club had gone as far as it could and that It was now up to the council

under the oldegime, but promising Material improvements under the present management. With Ira M. Cobe as its moving spirit. His company, he represented, had $60,000,000 back of it The franchise now being considered, he cx planed, was but an incident of the peneral scheme contemplated by his rompany. The purpose of the franchise Is to build two branches into East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. One of these would connect with Forsyth avenue on 141st street and run thence to Kennedy, thence to Michigan, to S-ieridan place, to Watling, to Regent, to Michigan, to Block, and - thence to NVatling, forming a-loop near the Lake

Shore depot in Indiana Harbor. The other is to form a connection with the

Standard Steel , district in Hammond,

rver Forsyth avenue, connecting with

its present line at 150th street. Thi

Mr. Crumpacker pointed out, would be

a much shorter route to Hammond than

1s now the case. ,

The object of the Red line In making

these improvements, the speaker ex

plained, was to bring into closer union the cities of northern Lake county, including East Chicago. Indiana Harbor,

Hammond and Whiting. His company's purpose, he said, was not to keep out competition.The Red line, he I'epresented. was wiling to enter into

fair relations with any competitor which might Invade the territory his

company wished to tap.

Mr. Gavit, in speaking for the Gary &

Interurban- called attention to the fact

that what he promised, he as presiden

of the road, was lit a position-to ful

fill. He told of the good work his company had done in Gary and Tolleston,

called attention to the fact that by. Sat

urday the line would be completed to

Hammond, beating the time limit call

ed for in .the company's franchise by

ten days. .His proposition ,4s to come

down Forsyth avenue to East Chicago

and he declared that if the Red line

' were . given the franchise they desire

it would bar. his road from getting into

East Chicago at all. as the-Red line would have the right of way over the only available point of entry Into this

city.. It was not, however, made clear

where Indiana Harbor would be bene

fited.by the Gary & Interurban's proposition. After the gentlemen had concluded

the transportation committee a special

committee to wait upon the council at

its next regular meeting to devise

ways and means to see that the right

thing Is done by East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. ,

After -a little more discussion, the

club proceeded to the other business in hand, electing the aforesaid new mem

bers, and a motion was made and carried making the meetings of the organization twice a month Instead of once as heretofore.

Art effort was made 4 upon three occa-

slors to get the organization to unter-

take the giving of the concert, but tht expense Incident thereto was so great that the proposition was voted down. Mr. Roberts, however, was determined that this remarkable chorus should be heard In this region, so he called upon, a number of others interested in the advancement of musical art to Jolrvjitm In financing the venture and his efforts were crowned with success. ' The choir Is composed of twenty-four members, each one an artist, it reports of the foreign critics and the critics on this side of the Atlantic are to be, believed. The organlzatiqn has held together for twenty-two years, ad for three years was put throogh a rigid course of -training, preparatory to making its present tour. That their tour has been a successful one Is evidenced by the fact that they have been heard In concert even- night since Oct. .3 last. As there are a great many "Welsh in

East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Whiting and Hammond and, most of them are members of the Dewl Sant society, which, while it refused to capitalize has given its unqualified endorsement to the concert, It Is safe to predict a large attendance. 1

A meeting of the Commercial club was held last night, the directors of that organization having held a meeting In the afternoon. "Owing to the fact that there were but fifteen members present, there was but little business considered. In the absence of all of ti" other officials. H. H. Highlands presided at the meeting. Several of the members stated that they had questions to bring before the club, but owing to the small attendance, they decided that they would defer the matter until there was more there. The directors, however, accomplished

a great deal in going over the plans submitted by Architect J. J. Verplank and making alterations that they think would Improve the building. After this work has been completed they will b,e accepted and the architect will be ordered to go ahead with the work of

making the complete pains. . Out for Moifjr Xw. The directors are also interested In the financing of the building which they are about to erect on Broadway. So far there "has been but $8,000 of the necessary $10,000 gash' raised by subscription, and the directors will startat once in an attempt to get the balance of the money together. It is believed that they will have no difficulty In doing" this. At the club meeting .yesterday five new members. Including H. C. Summers, the priprietor of the Gary hotel, and. H.H. Dills, the Insurance broker, were taken In.

Mother Superior Arrives." Mother Domcnlca, mother superior of the Franciscan sisters at Burlington, Iowa, arrived in Gary yesterday to visit Sister Helen, who was accidentally poisoned last Monday at Mercy hospital. The condition of Sister Helen Is said to be still serious. "While most of the poison from the stomach was removed, it is thought that the lining of the stomach was burned to such an extent that It may prove fatal. .She has been

board and later a republican council, availed him not last night when he

embarked on the conquest of MiUer to capture them by storm and make them submit to being annexed to Gary.:, The party arrived in that ' cly via the Interurban line only 'to find that

Attorneys Peter Crumpacker and M. H,.i

Stanton, had preceeded them, addressed and disperse' the meeting, so that at the time that hs highness arrived, there was no one there to listen to him except a few of his political body guard, who had accompanied him from Miller. These consisted of Homer J. Carr and City Attorney' Harvey . J. Curtlss. . The episode last night demonstrated conclusively the sentiment of the community in. regard to annexation. Even a recital of promises and benefits de

rived did not attract the citizens of that place to have the effect of "buffalolng" tftem Into submission. t t . - It . is probable that ninety per cent, of the population at Miller is opposed to annexation for the reason that they

have everything to loose and nothing to gain by the project. The attorneys

who spoke last night represented the big sand companies of that city. A ' petition is being circulated by August Olson of that city which they say is being- signed by nearly every one that -is broached on the matter and that it will be but a few days before a sufficient number are secured to effectually block the action of the Gary council There seems to be no question now but r what the - annexation bug.

which has been effecting the city fathers In the past few weeks, will be effectually cured as far as Miller Is concerned. - ' Those who were addressed by Crumpacker and Stanton last night declared that thejc would not spare money-nor time to have the petition presented to the Gary council before the expiration of the "required ten days One person said that the petition is almost ready to present now.
