COUNCIL TO

CHICAGO

Rumor Has It That Knotts Will Try to Create Office of Controller This Even-

ing Martin to Ask New

Dog Ordinance.

The meeting of the city council tonight promises to be an interesting orw and rumor has It today that there will

be several sensations sprung. Jus

what the nature of these sensations is. It Is not known, but it is said that an attempt will be made to again create

the office of city controller.

It Is said that Mayor Knotts has been

working among the republican council

men for several days past to this en3 so that In case of his death or remova'

from office for any cause the appointed controller would take his place as mayor. Just how much credence can be given the report is not known but )t has been a topic of general conversa-

tion.at the city hall for some time. Park Board IVaata Money.

The Gary park board will also ask the council for an appropriation of $7,-

075 for the purchase of four and one half acres of ground between Thir

teenth and Fourteenth avenue and Madison and Jackson streets adjoining the Froebel school building which will be used as a south side play

ground.

Chief of Police Joseph Martin will

ask the council tonight to repeal the present dog ordinance and pass another

giving the police the power to shoot

all stray dogs with which the city is over run. The present ordinance only gives the police power to catch stray dogs and place them in the pound but

makes no provision for the pound.X

Chief Martin's action In asking for

new ordinance is simply a matter of

' protection against "mad dogs" and un

less some action is taken at once, seri

ous results may follow at any trnie.

"The exercises at the cemetery will

consist of the usual appropriate exercises, via.: Grand Army- ritualistic services, music and addresses. Hon. Pete' Crumpacker, and Rev. C. J. Sharp will deliver addresses, and Mrs. Cozzard will

render an appropriate reading. Tho

choir of the Christian church will sing.

"The citizens of Hammond and vicini

ty are respectfully invited to join in these exercises and In the decoration of graves, so that every grave in all the

cemeteries, whether of veterans or not.

may receive a tribute of flowers.

To the reople of Hammond, This is the fiftieth annlverasry of

the beginning of the civil war in the republic. There Is not a born nor an adopted citizen in the Calumet region

fthat is not just as much interested in

the outcome of that war today as were the people fifty years ago. Decoration

Day, with Its somewhat martial exer cises, is not merely, a tribute to the bravery of "61-'63. but it is educational

and Influential to the making of a bet

ter and more loyal citizenship. The teaching value of Decoration Day is of more value than of its recognition of the loyal worth of the "boys in blue.' The committee on arrangements for the day. ull of whom are veterans, ap peal to the people of Hammond and vicinity, to assist In making this day memorable because of a more general observance in 1911. Father and mothers, we ask you to wear the colors nlace small flags in the hands of you' children, and decorate your homes. Every son of a veteran ought to honor his father, this one day in the year, by beaming In the line of march the glorious flag for which his father fought. Every daughter of a veteran should, by

all means, identify herself in this

movement of peace, and be enrolled in the coming and most honorable of all societies, the "Daughter of the American Civil War.' "Xot least among incentives to a more universal observance of the day is this; Hammond should not be behind her Bister cities in making this fiftieth anniversary Decoration Day great and beneficial. Committee: Fred Lash. Fred Kitchel, W. S. Hubbard, Geo. R. Streeter.",

. (Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., May 29. The

transfer of the East Chicago and Indiana Harbor telephone exchanges to the Central exchange at Calumet took place

Saturday night in a manner satisfactory to both the telephone company and the public generally.

Operations were begun about 9:30

with a force of thirty men under the direction of district cable foreman Ed

Herr and by 10:30 the change had been

sucessfully made.

The men were scattered throughout

Kplicing cables when necessary and In

other ways making possible the

abandonment of the East Chicago and Indiana Harbor exchanges which took

place Immediately after the central ex

change "cut in."

Perfect Xw Sj litem. Work was continued yesterday and

last night perfecting the new arrange

ment although the men were working

under heavy handicap In the late af-

ternon 'and evening, owing to trie rain

and lightning. The merging of two tele

phone exchanges into one, as was the

case Saturday night, involves an Immense amount of clever figuring be

sides the hard physical, labor it entails and the smoothness with which all this was accomplished has occasioned many compliments for the officials of th

telephone company.

There are eighteen operators employ

ed at the new exchange, but after wast

ing fifteen good and valuable minutes In an earnest but inaffectual effort to learn who was in charge of them this morning The Times reporter was" finally told in a very important tone, bythe last of four young ladles, to whom he had been referred, that she didn't have any time to talk to him and for him to call the manager. But even a reporter has a limit to his patience, and also his time, so this Important' feature was abandoned. Incldently, unless the chief operator's name is an extremely long one, the lady with the important tone would have saved valuable time In giving it 4nstead-of the long sentence she delivered herself of.

answered to ;the roll call of names of j soldiers buried in the Hammond cemeteries and those buried in unknown graves who have. friends and relatives here.

The committee on arrangements, composed of members of the W. H. Calkins Post G. A. R. today Issued the following announcement to the people of Hammond. ' 'Annotiaenient for Decoration Day.

(Special to Thb Times.) Whiting, Ind., May 30. Ttte trial of John Tombo, age 22 years, is expected to take place this evening, before Judge Fetterhoff. Tomko was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Mrs. Yuska, a close :'eisfhbor to Tomko. Last week a cow belonging to Mr.

Tutka was found to have had her tail cut off, by an unknown person. The

cow was then badly beaten, it is

thought with her own appendage. Two women told Mrs. Yufka of having seen Tomko unlock the gate, and go into the pasture. Owing to this fact the suspicion rests upon him, but the case which

was to have come up last week was postponed for the purpose of getting

more witnesses. ' It was reported yes terday that the cow was dying. ;

The rivalry between the 'families

owning cows and living in the vicinity of Davidson's new addition where the

Yuskos and Tomkos reside has reached

lerlous proportions. One family seems to be jealous of the other, and about a fear ago, a fine cow belonging to the Bugovitch family was shot, there having been several other1 outrages com

mitted upon the animals before, which

It could be easily seen was the result of

spite wrk.

"I really think that Oxyoline has been the salvation of my nervous sys

tem. For months before my operation, I seldom slept until after midnight.

After the operation, it was still worse-. Often it was two and two-thirty in

the morninB before I slept a bit. Following my operation at Mercy hospital

in Chicago, my surgeon directed me to take X-ray treatments of Dr. Leedy

UAiuuAti treatment, aiso. After my second treatment, I slept nearly twelve hours and have not missed a good night's sleep since then. I also want to mention something else. While the X-ray treatments were ordered

by my surgeon, over the seat of the operation, I chanced to mention to Dr.

Leedy, that I had an ugly case of Eczema on my hand. He laughed and told

me to hold by hard under the X-ray, while I was taking my other treatment.

This I did and after my second treatment, there was no more itching and now my hand was perfectly smooth. Why can't all doctors have X-ray and

Oxyoline machines? I'm glad that Dr. Leedy came to town. "MRS. ALICE LAM ME, 735 S. Hohman St, Hammond, Ind."
