Harrison Park Thronged With Both Boys and Girls Yesterday After the Festive Bullhead.

Two hundreds joyously happy children had the time of their lives at Harrison park yesterday, when the ban on fishing was lifted, and for a whole day they were able to enjoy the anticlpative thrills of waiting for a bite. The little fishermen and flsherwomen gathered in groups about the lagoons and with improvised poles and lines engaged in the greatest sport of childhood. Wednesday In all sections of the city the necessary preliminaries were gone through. Back lots were spaded up in the feverish search for worms, fishing poles were brought from their hiding places, bobbers were adjusted on the lines, hooks were tied on and everything was made in readiness for open fishing in the park. FIshermea Appear Early. And early yesterday morning the first young fishermen appeared in the park. In the belief that the early worm gets the fish, there were a number of boys in the park at 7 o'clock in the morning. Some of them had good luck, but most everybody had some luck. The lagoons are full of bullheads and strings of eight and ten bullheads were een. Some of the fish weighed as much as a pound and a half, but the average sire was small. But it was great sport for the youngsters. In, many cases yesterday will be an event in the lives of children. One little fellow trudged all of the way from the Standard district for the purpose of engaging in the fishing. Another came from East Hammond in the vicinity of Calumet avenue and State Street. It seemed as though "Hey kids, let's go fishing," had become the slogan of the juvenile population of the whole city in the course of an hour. ?f ,rom'nB Grant Sport. And after the youngsters tired of

fishing they went over to the bathhouse and went in swimming. "Chaw beef." "I found a clam, Watch me," and scores of other characteristic expres

sions were heard from the dorens of

boys and girls who availed themselves of the bathing privileges. And those who saw the happy throng became more convinced than ever that

it is the small parks in the thickly

populated sections of the city, parks that are built along the playground idea, that are needed in Hammond. The wholesome efTect of a day in the parks cannot be over-estimated, and when such effervescent joy as was witnesses yesterday is possible for such small expense the purchase of parks is a cheap luxury.

MANUFACTURERS HOLD MEETING IN CLUBROOM

William Duff Haynie, counsel for the Illinois Manufacturers' association, was in Hammond last night as the guest of W. B. Conkey. Mr. Haynie came to Hammond to talk to the members of the Hammond Manufacturers' association on the question of securing a reduction of freight rates to the southwest. The meeting was held in the rooms of the University club, where a number of the local manufacturers assembled. Owing to the hot weather

there was not as large an attendance

as was expected.

Mr. Haynie was accompanied by his

partner. Attorney Lust. He was for

merly a member of the law firm of

Knapp, Haynie , & Campbell. .United States Steel Corporation attorneys.

W., B. Conkey of the W, B. Conkey Co. stated, that from now on his plant will be running night and day until January. Enough orders have been booked to keep him busy until the 1st of the year, and by that time it is expected that enough additional business will be booked to keep things running Indefinitely. The recent dullness at the plant , has not been due to a lack of business, but

rather to the fact that those who have placed orders with the company have

not had their copy ready.

At the present time Conkey has

Council Meeting Tonight. An adjourned meeting of the Hammond city council is sehaduled for this evening, at which time it is expected that the council will ratify the contract between the board of public works arid the various water pipe companies for the water extension system. The council will in all probability also take action on the proposed bond issue to raise the money to pay for this improvement.

MAY CARE FOR LAKE CO. POOR Negotiations are now under way between the commissioners of Porter and Lake counties for the care and keep of fifty or more inmates of the Lake county poor asylum during the coming winter. Lake county's poor house is filled to overflowing even at this time of year when the poor population is usually at its lowest mark, and the Lake county authorities are aware that it

will be impossible to provide accommodations for all who demand admittance when cold weather sots in. County Superintendent Funk says that he can furnish accommodations easily for fifty or more in the Porter county almshouse, and if the boards of commissioners can agree upon a price to be paid by Lake county, it is likely that a number of Lake county's poor will be transferred to this county as soon as cold weather sets in.

DISPUTE AS TO

ROADSjLIABILITY Inasmuch as Frank Kalita, the Hegewisch man who was caught by a South Shore line car at the Hegewisch station on the Fourth, died at St. Margaret's hospital, it devolves upon Coroner E. M. Shanklin to hold the inquest. The Inquest has been opened and Coroner Shanklin expects to arrive at a verdict tomorrow or early next week. The conductor of the car told Coroner Shanklin that he had been told by passengers on the car that Kalita, who was standing on the platform, was shaking hands through the open window with a departing friend. The car started before he could extricate his hand from the iron window bars and he was dragged. Mrs. Kalita says that her husband was pushed in danger by the big crowd on the platform.

Blnyon's hotel and the Cedar Point hotel are under consideration. It has been definitely decided to hold the "joy ride" a week from next Thursday.

own automobiles, the entire membership of the club is able to go to Cedar Lake and enjoy a few hours' outing there.; This year It is expected that a larger number of the members than ever "will go. These trips have become so

famous that everyone is eager to make th trip. A number of prospective members of the club will go as the guests of the organization. The spring chickens are now in their prime, and those who have already tried out these chicken

'The charge is made that we told

the residents not to file a remonstranceuntil the street is started, the inference being that we wanted to thwart the remonstrators who thought hey had only en days' time in which to object. Why that's a lie. What we did say was that they should present their remonstrance after the petition had been filed. What's more, there is no such provision that the remonstrators have only ten days' time after the petition is filed. Their time for remonstrance is set by the board and Is- general fixed for a day, two weeks after the board accepts the plans and specifications for the improvement. Weeks may elapse

Kick on Assessments. A number of north side property owners are making strenuous objections to what they term the "Inequitable assessment" of lots in thai section of the city. For instance lots on the north side that could not possibly be sold for more than $200 are assessed at $150 a lot when lots in Homewood that are known to be worth $750 are assessed at only $175. The people of the north side are determined that the board of review shall give them a substantial reduction, A number of large- property owners in that section of the city have gone to
