THE TRIES.
j :
ItlllO TEEl IS DEFEATED BY CHlCflGDANS
The stag program for the H. A. A. membership and its friends afforded a pleasant evening's entertainment at the club rooms last Saturday night. Although the first H. A. A. basketball team was defeated by the German Turnggemelnde team of Chicago, the game was such a fast one that the defeat lost Its sting because of the enthusiasm for the game. The score was 29 to 32 in favor of the Turners. Hammond was la the lead In the first half, but, owing to lack of practice, could not keep up the pace set by the Germans in the second half. The wrestling and sparring bouts
were good. John Frieberg of Chicago gained two falls over "Mud' Muller of Chicago. Ernie Wagner. Hammond's favorite, won easily over Tony Conclaldi of Gary, taking two falls. The first sparring bout was cut down to four rounds, because of Tommy James' unquestioned superiority over "Young" Barnett. The sparring bout between Eddie Wagner and Jeff O'Connell was one of the best things along that line ever seen In Hammond. It was chlean, fast and scientific. The Hammond and Whiting high school basketball teams play on the
H. A. A. gmy next Saturday to decide the Lake county high school champion
ship.
f seven was appointed to go to Spring
field on Wedneaday and lobby for the
passage of the bill.
Representative Kleeman attended the
meeting and explained the bill... It pro-
ides for the creation of a. Chicago har
bor in Lake Calumet and purposes to
give Chicago an opportunity to reclaim its position as a lake port. The bill
rovides for a central harbor basin to
cover not less than 300 acres, with a
depth of twenty-one feet. The sanitary district Is given full power and
uthority to construct and operate this
harbor.
Federal cooperation is contemplated
in the building of a canal from Lake Michigan to the central harbor, and
government ownership and control of
the harbor Is provided.
wilThold PRIMARY
ELECTION
The most unusual primary election that has ever been held in West Hammond is scheduled for tomorrow. Half of the population of the village is ot the oplnino that the primaries lire regular and will be declared so when It comes to the final "show down," and the rest of the population is of the opinion that the primaries are illegal, and that it will take only an order of the court to have the vote declared void and to throw the expense upon those who have urged the holding of them. There will be three tickets In the field; the citizens', the people's, and the democratic. Old Peter Maak is a lone candidate on the democratic ticket, but his odorous reputation as the president of the village will eliminate him
from consideration. As soon as the primaries are over those who think they are being held in defiance of the law will file an order with the court to have them declared illegal. It will then devolve upon the winning candidates to defend their nomination or pay the cost of holding the primaries. There are so many conflicting cliques
in West Hammond that It is hard to tell just what is the lineup. It Is the
same situation that has existed before. The reform element quarrels among
themselves and then along come the crooks and carry away the bacon.' For
some reason or another the very per
sons who formerly urged the city form of government now declare that the
election Is invalid and will take no part
in the primaries tomorrow.
In this stand Miss Virginia Brooks
and her alleged enemies, Martin Fin
neran and S. K. Markman, are lined up
together. They are sow both opposed
to the holding of the primaries.

It is now known by actual experience
that 40 percent of school children are either physically defective or sick and need medical attention. This fact shows that education is to a considerable degree a medical problem.

Following a conference of officials
of the American Bridge company Saturday afternoon the announcement was
made that the company will shortly let
contracts for 12 houses which will be
built at a cost of 750.000 in the new second subdivision of the Gary Land
company near Clarke and further that
the construction work will be conduct
ed unde ropen shop rules.
This announcement comes as a blow to the union men who had hoped that there would be no stipulations attached to the bid taking. On the other hand the Employers. Builders and Material Men's association regard the affair as a signal victory and a big wedge for more of the open shop policy. Absolut denial is made of the story that was printed in two of the Gary papers Saturday that the contracts would be let to association men to tha exclusion of all others. Company officials say that there are no restrictions attached. The best bidder will get the job and the association has no monoply on it. Plans and specifications were distributed to contractors today asking for bids. Beside these 142 houses the bridge company will erect twenty mor9 with its own construction force. It already has thirty houses in the course of building on Ambrlde street.
