Red Line Employe Has Spirited Adventure Yesterday, With East Chicago "Kiddie" ;
OTHER WAS DISTRACTED Lost Child Creates More Ado in East Chicago Than the Annexation Question.
Socialist Mayor of Milwaukee
(Special to The Time)
East Chicago, April 6. A Ham-; xnond, Whiting and East Chicago . line conductor, who did not consider his act of sufficient importance to, make known his name, was the means yesterday of -probably saving the life of a two year old tot, John Jo, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Jo,( who reside at the corner of Tod arenue and 143rd street. In . any , e,vent, whether he saved ' the youngster's, life or not, he undoubtedly saved the distracted mother many weary hourB of anxiety,, and gained a life long gratitude on ac
count of the restoration of the little one to her.

F. C. Miller of the Hammond Saeng-erbund-Fldelia stated to a Times' re

the club would have to wait until next spring- before it could begin work ojrx
the new building,, but the club is get

possible to build this fall. This will
make it possible for the quarters to be
occupied about the first of the year.
One of the new' features of the pro
ject which was brought out at the
meeting of the Men's club last even

Musical college is to .have its quarters in the new building, and all branches
of the musical art will be taught. As

Two husbands used very naughty
language In addressing their wives

lady-Iike conduct in the use of swear

according to three divorce complaints
which were filed in the LAke superior
court this morning.
Tills, by the way, is an Illustration pf the fact that nine out of every ten divorce complaints contain the allega
tion that the defendant is In the habit of using yile and abusive language to
ward the plaintiff.. Another familiar
cause of marital unhappiness is drunk
enness and in seven out of every ten
divorce complaints this is given as the
cause of the trouble. Elizabeth Cahill has brought an action against her husband. James Cahill, in which she alleges that he slap-, ped her and used opprobrious epithets towards her. Further thtui that, he pleaded guilty to the charge of forgery in the Lake superior court, and- Mrs. Cahill says that she has been humtlfat. ed and disgraced as a .result.

That Requ site Number of

Has Been Exceeded by
the Canvrjsers.
In city hall circle it was confidently
believed this morning that the neces sary number of signatures for the re
monstrance agair gt the East Chicago
annexation had btfn far surpassed. This
belief was based on what returns had
already been mad.
Of , 110 book ut, fifty-three have
been returned containing 2,675 names
Of the fifty-sevetv,: books still out, two are' in the Standard district, nor had some of the larger factories like the Conkey plant and others been heard from. ' .k : Still Expert OO Per Cen. It was further" believed that the remonstrance would show a larger number of names than was polled in the last election for Mayer Becker and Richard Schaaf. The election returns were slightly below forty-three hundred for these two cane" tates, but since then many voters iti ben found who either did not go t $ie polls or- who were not here long t bugh to vote, or who
! have come to Kmmnd since the elec-

WILL TAKE
UP A NEW
HE FOB IT
The meeting of the Hammond Busi
ness Men's association, scheuled for to morrow night, is expected to be one o
great interest to the busienss men of the community. Many of them have refused to identify ' themselves with the organization for the reason that its scope was too narrow, and it was not representative of the commercial activities othe city. . This misapprehension was largely due to the fact that the association has been mis-named, or rather that it has broadened its scope to such an extent that the old name no longer applies. "; The meeting Thursday will take up this proposition and several others, and it Is expected to be of , Interest to members and any others who feel that the work of the association has done merits the support of the business men and proeprty owners of the community..
the majority of its members will be able to discuss the question of secur
ing the state G. A. R. encampment for Hammond, in an intelligent manner.
Members of the association who have
discussed this Question among them
selves realize that comparatively little time remains in which to take decided action, especially when it is remembered that the Hammond Business Men's association is to take the initia
tive and holds but one regular meeting a month. Sentiment Seems Favorable. The 1910 encampment this year will
meet at Te'rre Hawte, and the meeting will be held in May, and unless a special meeting is called there remains only the meeting of tomorrow night and the " May meeting in which the matter can be acted on. A little probing of the sentiment in Hammond indicates that Hammond would be willing to welcome the veterans and their friends who gather annually in convention to the number of 30,000. The only question that has arisen is whether Hammond will be able. to house all the visitors. To this it has been - answered that cities in Indiana no larger than Hammond have been equal to the occasion, and that there is no one city in the state whose public hostelries would attempt to take care of all the visitors. Accommodation at reasonable rates in - private
stance it was found that the father refused to sign on Monday but his son

- The salary question In connection with the office of the secretary of the board of health received some discussion, TJr. W. D. Weis being present to present his side of the question. Inasmuch as City Attorney John Gavit gave it as his opinion that the law on the question must be construed to read that the salary should be based on the population of a city, the council decided to lay the matter over until an accurate census has been taken. The state board of health credits Hammond with a population of 19,975. At the rate of two and one-half per cent per capita this would allow the secretary approximately $500 a year in salary. Dr. Weis is not accepted any salary thus far,
he preferring to wait until the census is established and then to be paid accordlngl. He also said that the secretaries all over the state were preparing to test the constitutionality of the law in the supreme court.

Charles M. Schwab's Bethlehem corporation has submitted a statement for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31. It is in eheer contrast to the former reports of this company in that every vital Item shows prosperity. The net profits increased over 1908 $674,238. The orders on hand Dec. 31 which were unfilled amounted to $14,073,834, which is double that on the same date in 1908. President Schwab says that the great increase in orders booked during the last year is unprecedented. Since Dec. 31 contracts have been entered into amounting to over $10,000,000 for armor, armament, etc., for the navy of the Argentine, so that at the present time the uncompleted orders on. the books aggregate $25,-000,000.

Handicapped by lack of time for a campaign, opposed by a strong and popular man on the other ticket, August Zimmerman of West Hammond, who was a candidate on the citizens' ticket for collector nevertheless, made a splendid race. '
The result of the election in Thorn-I

Commissioner John Viefeldt, Harvey. Collector John Shilling, Dolton. Justice of the peace A. E. Cambell, Harvej-. Of flees Etaally Divided. The offices -w'ere accordingly equally divided, although the assessorship, which is the most Important among the
six went to the citizens' candidate. Zimmerman - met his defeat In Dolton. the home town of Shilling, who is not only a good man. but who has held the office for eleven years, A little more than 1,300 votes were cast for him, while Zimmerman received a trifle more than .100 votes. West Hammond, however, .was solidly for Mr. Zimmerman. In West Hammond there were two voting places, one in the south enJ and the other at the village hall. The newly elected officers take their seats on May 1. . Carl Neidow of Dolton, who has been re-elected to. the office of road supervisor, is the father of Undertaker C. Neidow of Hammond.
LAKE COUNTY'S DELEGATION PLEASED AT THE RESULTS
If yoa smoke a L Vendor Cigar once rou will always, call for them.
Lake county's forty-seven delegates at the republican state convention at Indianapolis were a power that was reckoned with. The fact that Lake county republicans gave a majority to every candidate on the republican ticket last fall also placed this delegation in a position where its requests were given thoughtful consideration by the politicians fro mover the state. The result was the" 'nomination of
Judge Harry B. TuthiU of Michigan City by a vote so large that he lead
the ticket by 157 votes. The work of the Lake county delegation in the interests of the Michigan City man was splendid and caused interested comment among all of the delegates. The Lake county boys got together early in the game, and it was then decided that the nomination of Judge TuthiU for the office of appellate Judge would be the demand of the local delegation. It wa thought that Lake county's proud showing in the past warranted it in asking this much. Make Good Deals. When deals were made other delegations it was always In return for votes
for Tuthill. And there were enough
deals proposed, for Lake's forty-seven votes looked pretty large to all of the
candidates. Lake county aleo threw its
support to Judge Rabb, for-the, .reason that he waa from-this. district. Judge
Rabb also was nominated.
W. ' J. McAleer of Hammond was placed on the resolutions committee from the Tenth district. This was a great honor,and it, so happened that the big fight of the convention occurred in this committee. McAleer, stood for the elimination of any reference to the local option question, and this an-d . the resolutions on the tariff were the principal argumentative pieces de resistance of the
committee.
At the last convention it is generally
conceded that the Lake county delega
tion made a mistake in failing; to switch over to Watson when the Lake county vote would have nominated him on the fourth ballot instead of the fifth. . . No mistakes of this kind were made thfs year, however, and the Lake county delegates returned home feeling that they had a real part in the nomination of the ticket. . ....

LAKE CO. WILL BE A WET PLACE
The county commissioners at the las meeting granted forty-two saloon licenses in Lake county. This is a record number, and it is expected to be exceeded "only by the applications that will be granted when Calumet township again' becomes wet. From present indications Lake county will be the wettest place on the Indiana may in a month or two, and the number of saloons is expected to exceed those in any' other county in the state of Indiana.
