The manufacturing industries of the city are, generally speaking, working a little below normal at the present

time. Uncertainty over the outcome of the fall elections and a feeling of unrest in the money market are assigned as the causes. Railroad stocks are falling, and this has resulted in a tendency to retrench. However, it Is believed that this condition is only temporary, and that It will be Improved In the fall, especially if the crops are good. Secretary W. Thomas of the Simplex Railway Appliance company said that the plant Is running a little below normal at the present time. He stated that he expected a decided improvement in conditions In the fall. There are enough orders on hand to keep the plant employed during the summer, and while not many orders

are being received there are a number in eight. Railroads Caution. Superintendent H. B. Douglas of the Standard "Steel Car company reports that his plant is also running a little below normal. The same conditions which prevail in the case of 'the Simplex are also true with the Standard. There is little inclination on the pajf: of the railroads to make additional 1m- . provements until the rate matter is set- . tied and they know what will be the complexion of the next congress.

The officials of the United States ; court are determined to put a stop to decelton the part of foreigners whohave been guilty of making false returns in an effort to secure their second naturaliation papers.

At the time Galgoey made application for his second papers he was carefully questioned by Judge A.. B. Anderson. This resulted in the discovery of so many discrepancies in his statements that the case was continued. Galto-j- Failed to Appear. When it came up the second time Galgoey failed to appear and the ap

Weber of Chicago the national examiner who spends his time investigating the claims of foreigners who are seeking their second papers secured evidence to support the opinion that Galgoey has not been iji the United States for more than three years when he claimed to have resided here for

Christ Dahms of Lansing, father of seven children, who has been missing

since a week ago last Monday, has

been found. His body, badly decom

posed, was found hanging to an oak

tree two miles northwest of Chester

ton, in Porter county, along the Michi

gan Central railroad tracks. Temporarily demented by the intense heat of ten days ago, he had wandered away from the W. B. Conkey plant, where he had worked halt day and committed suicide. " The body was discovered last Monday morning by Axel Kaiging of 42S Flshrupp avenue. Whiting, and his brother, Fred Kaiging of Montana The two brothers were together, going over a farm with a view of buying it. The body was turned over to a Chesterton undertaker who had to bury It immediately, because of the advanced state of decomposition in which it was. Mrs. Dahms, however, identified the man's hand and his pocketbook, she -and Officer Horlbeck of Robertsdale, who is a relative, having gone to Chesterton to identify the body. The relatives of Mr. Dahms recall that several years ago when he became affected by the heat he was missing for twenty-four hours. Dahms was formerly employed at the glue works apd was a temperate and hard working men.

Charges by Councilman John Kane against Jacob Kasper, superintendent of the Hammond water works and

against the board of public works on , the grounds that the officials had permitted their nationality prejudices to rule them respectively in the demanding and accepting of the resignation of Michael Carroll, the night engineer at the Hammond pumping station, precipitated some lively scenes before tfte board this morning. The storm had been brewing for a week, and was precipitated when Jacog Kasper, superintendent of the water works, demanded the resignation of his night engineer, Michael Carroll, on the grounds of unsatisfactory service. Councilman Kane, who is a friend of Mr. Carroll and as staunch an Irishman as the "ould sod" produces, culd see nothing in the action of Superintendent Kasper, who, by tTTe way, has as much German blood in him as Kane has Irish, but a prejudice based on nationality. Kane denounced the board, especially its president. A. R. Ebert, who, by the way, is also a prominent German, for upholding Superinendent Kasper's action and a spirited wordy tilt between them resulted. The upshot was that the question of Mr. Carroll's competency was lost sight of and the whole thing resolved itself in many bitter words along lines of nationality.

(Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., July 6. The Cedar Lake Improvement Association has begun a war against the disorderly places which have given the lake such a bad name. Remonstrances were filed against three Cerlar Lake saloonkeepers. Licenses were refused two of them and the other withdrew his application. This is the first step that has been taken to make Cedar Lake decent. Charles Fronek and James McEwen were refused licenses on the ground that they were applying for some one else and John Kennedy would have been denied a license for the same reason if he had not withdrawn his appli

cation.

It is exDected that in this manner all 1 siders were set

In all there avere sixty licenses granted yesterday. The Cedar Creek remonstrance matter was taken up late yesterday afternoon but it was necessary to take an adjournment shortly after the hearing began. As stated in yesterday's Times the saloon keepers have induced a number of the remonstrators to withdraw their names from the remonstrance and the

question to be decided by the county commissioners will be as to whether a remonstrator has the right to withdraw his signature after the remonstrance has once been filed.

fore the county commissioners relative to stralghteningof Hohman street at the bridge. He said that Immediate action :. was necessary by the council so that the plans for the bridge could be changed accordingly . and asked the council's sentiment in regard to the purchase of a small strip of land north of the bridge and on the west side of the street so that the new bridge may be placed in line with the main course of Hohman street. By purchasing this strip of land he explained the city would save at least $5,000 on the water mains which would have to be removed If the bridge is to go back exactly Into the place of the old one. By a resolution the mayor was authorized to appoint a committee to confer with the board to purchase the necessary strip of land.

Hammond is to be one of the few favored cities of smaller size which are to enjoy the advantages of the telepost system, the new idea In sending messages by electricity. At the regular meeting of the Hammond city council last night a franchise, granting the Telepost company a right to operate In Hammond, went to its second reading and will in all probability be passed at a special meeting tonight. All of the councllmen with the exception of Councilman Henry Whltaker' Jwere present, -and five of those present voted against the franchise. They were Eggers, Kahl, Cotton, Schutz and Hubbard. The company was represented by Colonel LeGrand T. Meyer and E. E. Sipperly. The lion's

share of the credit of inducing the company to come through Hammond

belongs to Col. Meyer. As attorney for the towns of Munster and Highlands, he discovered that the company intended to go by Hammond, leaving it on the north of Its line. It is the company's object to build from Chica

(Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., July 6. Yesterday was a busy day at the court house, occasioned by the meeting of the county commissioners and a big crowd of Lake County citlejis from Gary, Hammond. Lowell and various parts of the county was in attendance. The greatest share of the days time was devoted to the liquor matters and the granting of liquor licenses, the usual batch of applicants coming from Gary. With 140 saloons in the "steel city" at present it would seem as If the beverage market might be amply supplied but from the increasing number of license applications each month it is evident that there is room at the top of the keg. Many licenses were granted at yesterday's session, with the absence of the usual fight and opposition from the anti liquor forces.

Wagner May Leave Town. Another Hammond, ball player, Edward Wagner, who is at present catch

ing Saturday afternoon ball for Hammond and Sunday ball for Crown Point, will more than likely leave the county to play ball with Lafayette. Lovefiduski of Lafayette who is out scouting players for his team made an exceedingly good offer to Wagner last Sunday morning and Wagned stated today that he would probably accept. He has until Thursday to think-' the matter over and although he rather likes to play ball in his home ome. It is his only chance and he may take it.

Wagner is the best back-stop In the region, being fast on his feet and has an excellent whip. Although he is not a remarkable hitter, it is thought that he can hold his own with tf stick. It will be a hard blow to Cro1 Point if Wagner does quit to play with Lafayette.

The responsibility for the maintenance of the Kennedy avenue bridge at the Grasselli works is evidently a muted question between the cities of Hammond and East Chicago, udglng from a question of municipal liability that arose in the Hammond city council last evening.

If there are too many tickets ordered they will be left on the hands of the local business men and If there are not enough some one who wants to go will be disappointed. In the neighborhood of thirty-five owners of automobiles have decided to participate in the parade to the Cub's park, but they are all slow in coming around and making the final arrangements. The committees are ready to do their work at any time, and the larger the number of business men who respohd the greater the success of the venture.

Among those who were injured were Walter Foss who shot a blank cartridge into his hand. Walter Hegebein while lighting a five inch cannon cracker burned two of his fingers. The wound apparently is not eerio". One of the Green boys shot his brother in the stomach with a blank cart" ridge. The powder burns penetrated the clothes and caused a flesh wound, and while the injuries are painful, it Is not thought th-t they will be serious.
