THE TIMES.
SHARP NOSES FIND ANOTHER TIERCE SHELL Globe Rendering CompanyWas Not the Offender This Time.
Hammond people who sniffed at the pungent atmosphere last evening noted that the wind came from the northeast. This indicates that the officials of. the Olode Rendering company are right when they say that all of the bad odors which are wafted to Hammond are not from their plant. The Globe Rendering Co. Is located southwest of the city and the smell could not have come from that place with the wind coming from the northwest. Secretary E. F. Johnson of the Hammond Business Men's Association has been sleuthing for smells for some time and gleefully noted that a new and entirely different pungency was noted In the smell that pervaded Hammond last night and today. Steps will be taken to eliminate the odors.

spection over the system last week and their reports of the conditions at the filtration plant are especially gratifying. A chemical analysts of the water, after going through the plant with its processes of chemical cleaning and after its course through the filtration beds, shows it to be vastly cleaner than the water coming from many wells and cisterns, and Ir. Krost, who made the test and analysis, says that the fluid was entirely free from germs and nearly as pure as water could be- that has
such a strenuous operation of cleaning
to undergo. The report entirely disproves the contention of some that the outlet into the Deep river ditch would be the means of polluting that water.

business again, nor where he will locate. Two years ago Mr. Scatena and
his family want to Italy for an extended visit, and his family is still there, but will return to this country soon. Mr. Scatena came to this country about twenty-two years ago. He hart native abilities as a business man, and nineteen years ago he opened a fruit store and refreshment stand in the.
triangle building on Hohman street south of the Moaon tracks. At the same time he and another man who was in partnership with him conducted a similar business in Michigan City and Harvey- Finally they centered all their Interests in Hammond, moving from their first location to where the Palace -(wMti 4s bow located, and finally j the present location. In his many years in Hammond, Mr. Scatena has made hundreds of friends. He has seen the town grow from a struggling community to a prosperous city and loked upon Hammond as his permanent home. It Is with regret that he leaves, but he said, his health necessitates the change.
The two electricians M. S. Leavitt and H. A. Keogh who were arrested Monday afternoon for slugging W. E.
Baum, a non-union carpenter, appear
ed before Judge Barnett this morning for a preliminary hearing. Not ready for trial the two men asked for a lawyer and a continuance. Judge Barnett setting the trial for Thursday morning, July 27th, and placed each man under a $300 bond. Keogh and Leavitt are electricians employed by Joseph Sherer and Monday they laid off from work and during the day becam intoxicated. Then went over to where W. E. Baum and M. T. Anglen were employed at the Cooley building on Sibley street, It is said, they abused the carpenters and quarreled with them during the day.
When the carpenters stopped work Monday night they started for their respective homes and were . accosted again by the electricians near the Erie railroad tracks. A fight resulted in which Baum was struck over the head with a heavy pair of pliers, causing a nasty wound. The victim claims that while Keogh held Kaum, leavitt pulled the pliers from his pocket and started to hit him with
it when later a crowd of people interfered and Officer Lamme came up and placed them under arrest. The electricians assert that they merely de
fended themselves.
They are charged with assault and

EXPLOSION
Sheriff Grant and Deputy in
Gary, But on Other Business.
No new points have been gained by
the Gary police in their probe into the origin of the blast that wrecked the
building at 623 Broadway and caused
the Injury of eight persons.

Testerday Sheriff Thomas Grant was
in. town in company with Deputy

they were here In connection with the
alleged bomb disaster.
Every evidence points to the fact that
gas as was first believed did not pro
duce the blast. Gasoline, dynamite or
nitro glycerine are scouted as probable causes by Fire Chief Feeley.
w Light At Hand. An important ray of light was thrown on the explosion mystery today when Postmaster John W. Call whose residence is a few doors south of the wrecked building. Three o'clock Tuesday morning. Mr. Call, unable to sleep, was sitting in the kitchen of his home smoking. A minute before the blast he saw a man running down the alley from the direction of the wrecked restaurant building. One Method In Vogue. A probable cause of the explosion tdvanced today was the use of the Chicagd method. By placing a five gallon of gasoline with a lighter candle as a cork a time explosion of unusual efficiency is produced. Who blew up the restaurant building and why did they do it? This is the problem confronting the Gary police.
EXPECT BIG ROW. It is expected that the question of
setting the date for the city election
in West Hammond will cause a big row at the meeting of the village board tomorrow night.
It is understood that a number of the officials of the village want to finish their terms of office and would like to delay the election until the next general election is held. This move is expected to meet with serious opposition on the part of those who have voted in favor of the village form of government and would like to see a new set of officials elected right away. It is the contending factions that are likely to clash at the meeting tomorrow night. It is understood that now that the special election has been successful the village boarj will be mandated to hold the special election if it attempts to put the matter off. A number of other important matters will be taken up at he board meeting tomorrow night.

curb should be placed immediately in
front of the sidewalk so that it forms
part of the walk.
It appeared to be the general senti
ment last night that every individual
property owner should pay for the ex
tra three and a half foot street In front of his property which would remain unpaved after the cunty had paved the
street to a width of forty feet. Shef field avenue is sixty feet wide.
The board explained the delay of the paving to the property owners. The Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago street car company now has an injunction against the county commis
sioners to prevent the latter from ex
eluding the street car company's right of way in the pavement. The conten
tion of the street car company Is that
the street Is being paid by a general
assessment from a fund to which it contributes as a taxpayer, and that forcing it to pave its own right of way
on Sheffield avenue would be levying a double assessment. It is understood that the county commissioners are willing to change their position, provided the street car company will withdraw its Injunction, and once this is done the work can proceed. It was the consensus of opinion among? the property owners last night that they would be glad to pay the small additional assessment which would be saved .them in case the street car company paved its
own right of way.
