ceited. The company has made him flattering Inducements to come Into the
office, but "Bunny," as they call him, prefers to stay In Hammond hauling cash registers over the region in his automobile, which he purchased pur
posely for this.
Mr. Bunnell has been In Hammond
about eighteen months. When he came his territory was rated a 60-point ter
ritory, and the outlook and prospects
to be a whale of an agent were ex
ceedingly gloomy, so gloomy in fact
that Mr. Bunnell thought seriovsly of resigning. But the head officials kept on sending messages of cheer and en
couragement, but ' in the meantime there was little doing. Finally Mr. Bunnell had the situation sized up and
began to spread himself. He saw the possibilities of the region and began to work accordingly. The purchase of
an automobile with his own money
for the benefit of the company was one of his first moves. It proved to be a
good investments.

Bunnell overcame them. Each territory

The Lake county territory is figured as a 100-point territory, and is expected to do at least $2,500 worth of business
a month. Mr. Bunnell reached 562, or 463 points more than required for the

The East Hamond Athletic club is the name of a new organization, ccomposed mainly of young men and support 1 to some extent by the business men of East Hamond, which has just been put into being. Already 150' members ar er.'rolled, with dues paid op, and a club room has been rented at Field and Howard avenue. The house committee has funds with which to equip the gymna
sium, and expects to purchase the most
recessary articles at once. The members of the club are enthus! ast!c about the prospects for the organ
lr.ation and are looking forward to the
time when they can occupy their own
permanent club rooms. Although near
ly 90 per cent vT the meiiil.ership is coposed of young men wio were born
in Europe, a number of them have dt
ve c-red into good ballplayers, and it is
possible a team will be organized mxt

for the floor work of the gym.

The Progress of Commission Government
The number of cities which have adopted the so-called commission form of government continues to increase weekly. The commission plan abolishes the minor elective officers and substitutes an elective board of directors of a few old time councils, chief executive and members, who have full power to appoint all other officials and run the town. The plan has not only demonstrated the superior efficiency of a small board over a large and complicated mechanism, but has also shown that when public servants a-e conspicuously responsible, they begin to be conspicuously careful. it would require
more than average human stamina for
an official to misbehave himself under
the commission plan, when he knows
that the whole town will instantly and accurately locate the blame.
The following is a list of ninety-five
Funeral services for Stella Cortes Downs, known as Dolores, queen of the Spanish gypsies, who died in Santa Monica. CaL, Tuesday, wera delayed until the arrival from Philadelphia of Joseph Fels.soap millionaire and radical single-taxer. He asked the delay, saying he wanted to pay tribute to the woman to whose advice in business matters he credits his entire fortune. Queen Dolores came to California fifteen years ago to find a site for a colony of 3,000 Spanish gypsies. She fell In love with Thomas Downs, Civil "War veteran and inmate of a soldiers' home. She abandoned the colonization plan, her gypsy queensaip, and wedded Downs.

12:53 and the Chesapeake & Ohio train
arrives here at 12:38.
The passengers from all four of these
trains are compelled to walk to their
homes because of the lack of street
car facilities after 12:15. In addition to the passengers who come in from the trains those in town who have occasion to stay up after 12:15 are compelled to walk home or hire a carriage. The management of the street car company complains that the service after 12 o'clock does not pay, but the traveling public in Hammond believes it has the right to ask this accommodation even if it does not pay. A well-known Hammond business man stated today that it is peculiar that a city the size of Hammond the cars do not run after 12:15. He declared that the cars ought to run at least until 1:30. In Chicago there is aa owl service all nisrht.

(Special to The Times.)
Indiana Harbor, Ind., Dec. 5. "Some
City, Believe Me,' is the slogan which ; will hereafter carry the name of In-; diana Harbor and East Chicago to the four corners of the earth. The slogan, was officially adopted yesterday at a meeting of the committee on publicity appointed by the commercial club of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago, being one of a large number submitted in response to an advertisement for a phrase, or short sentence, which should best typify the Twin Cities. Mrs. Joseph J. Freeman of East Chicago was the winner of the $10 prize offered by the club. A number of others were favorably considered, but the committee finally decided' that "Some
City, Believe Me" possessed the most
snap, and adopted it accordingly
The committee is now planning a sort
of a "tag day" In which pencils will take the place of tags. These pencils are to be sold by the ladies of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago for the bene
fit of the publicity fund of the Commercial club, and the money will be
devoted to advertising the Twin Cities.
The pencils will bear the names IN

SOCIETIES
TO MEET
The Hammond Medical society and the Lake County Medical society both have meetings within the next two weeks at which there will be elections of officers. The Lake County Medical society will meet next Thursday at a place which is yet to be designated and the Hammond Medical society will mete two weeks from tomorrow. Dr. E. M. Shanklin is the president of the Lake County Medical society and Dr. H. C. Groman is the secretary. It is understood that there is considerable political work being done in connection with both annual elections. Fixht I.a.xt Vear. Last year the first election of the Hammond Medical society was a spirited affair in which the "insurgents" made an effort to capture the offices. They were defeated by the regulars,
and Dr. W. F. Howat was elected president, while Dr. H. J. WThite was elect
ed secretary.
Since that time some of the leaders in the fight of the "insurgents" have not attended the meetings of the so
ciety. Whether this fight is to be re
newed at the election which is to be
held in two weeks remains to be seen. The Lake County Medical society will give a banquet at the Elks' club rooms
next Thursday and will then adjourn to some other place for the purpose of
holding the annual election. New Gary Lawyer.

of the board of public works of the
Charlevoix Boy City, gave Selisr the
permit to take the moving pictures of
the Boy City circus, today acted the part of the announcer who explained
me aetaus or tne pictures that were being shown. This made the pictures
doubly interesting.
It was as if the bills read, "Mr. Arth
ur Kindling begs leave to present him
sen as one or tne principal actors in
How a Boy City Is Run.' ' The pic
tures are so clear that all of the Ham
mond boys are recognizable wherever they appear. Tbere was a good crowd
at the theater this afternoon and
packed house is expected this evening.
President A. G. Lundqulst will have
charge of the sale of the pencils in Indiana Harbor, and Vice President C. L. Kirk in East Chicago. The pencils are to be sold for what they will fetch and a goodly sum is hoped to be realized by the sale. H. C.

tising, 25,000 pamphlets ,are to be ordered printed for distribution among merchants, bankers, professional nren and manufacturers to be sent out with their mall.

The committee entrusted with the task of selecting' a slogan was composed of H. C. Rutledge, Walter J. Riley and C. A. Westberg.
J Congressmen Carter Glass and Wil- . liam A- Jones, representatives of the
Sixth and First Virginia districts, respectively, are expected soon to announce their candidacies for the United

The Pittsburg Steamship Company has been authorized to proceed with the construction of several large ore freighters for 1911 delivery which will require about 76.000 tons of shapes and plates." t No other two distinct, separate corporations are so closely related as United States Steel and International Harvester. E. H. Gary, George W. Perkins, George F. Baker, Norman B. Ream
and Charles Steele represent both companies on the board and with the ex
ception of Charles Steele go to maice up the finance committees. J. P. Morgan &. Co. are the fiscal agents for both corporations. Since their organization the
capacity of each company has Den practically doubled and operating costs have been reduced to a minimum. In
fact, the per cent of operating costs
of the United States Steel Corporation
has never been above 80 per cent, which is lower than the average industrial corporation's. In 1906 the Steel Corporation's operating costs were cut to 72.8 per cent. Harvester's operating cost, although averaging above those of the Steel Corporation, have shown li marked decrease in recent years.

(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Dec. 5. Memorial serv
ices were conducted yesterday by the East Chicago Elks at Berry's theatre
and the exercises were most impressive.
The theatre was crowded, even the
eallerv beine filled and the audience
was deeply moved by the sweetness and
solemnity of the occasion. Every num
ber was followed with wrapt attention by those present and there was not an inharmonious note to mar the attrac
tiveness of the occasion. The program opened with a rendition of Schumann's "Traumerie" played by DeBriae's orchestry in a masterly manner and this was followed by a vocal solo by Miss Mabel Wickey. The solo was by Thomas Adams and was entitled They Way, Not Mine Oh Lord" and was most beautifully rendered. The opening ceremonies by the officers of the lodge then took place after which the quartet gave a selection, singing in splendid unison and with
much feeling
"Great Ruler of the Universe" was song by all present to the air of "Auld Lang Syne." Judge George E. Reiland, the chaplain of the lodge, gave an impressive invocation after which Thomas Lewis of Chicago rendered most feelingly Diddel's version of "Abide With Me." Charles Fowler delivered a masterly eulogy and following him Miss Pearl Townsend's rich voice was heard in the solo "Love Not the World" by Sullivan. Harry B. Darling of LaPorte gave a very eloquent and appropriate address, following which Evan Lloyd sang Tosti's beautiful "Help Me to Pray" in his usual finished manner. The quartet
then gave a number followed by "The Angel's Serenade" played by DeBirae's orchestra and Mrs. George H. Summers gave a most beautiful number in exquisite fashion. The closing ceremonies by the lodge were the most solemn feature of the exercise and the exercises closed with the singing of "We've Finished Our Labor",
The Iron Trade Review will say today: "The last two weeks of November have not been marked by favorable developments in the iron trade. On account of a decreased demand upon the mills for shipments of finished products the United States Steel Corporation has recently blown out and banked several additional furnaces and is now operat
ing about 55 per cent of Its actual blast
furnace capacity, represented by 119 stacks.
"The Pensylvania Railroad Company has officially announced the making of its rail allotment of 150,000 tons for delivery next year, but it has developed thatthe orders have not been accepted by the different steel companies and there is likelihood of prolonged negotiations on account of changes in
