Wayne officials are scheduled to go to Huntington, Ind., next Monday to inspect that city's gar. bage disposal plant. Ft. Wayne has a plant now but It is not giving complete satisfaction. The Huntington plant is one designed and built by the firm of Miller, Decker & Wagner. It is comparatively new and Us citizens are anxious to see how it will work out. A garbage disposal plant has been talked of for a number of years in Hammond and is an urgent necessity. The Miller, Becker & Wagner . firm now ha six plants in Tulsa, Okla., a town of only 10,000 inhabitants, but which is practically without a sewerage system and must depend upon the incinerating method for the disposal of "night soil" as well as garbags. By this system bricks of the over are heated to a white heat and the garbags and other refuse hloh is thrown into the plant is converted into ashes. The white heat destroys all odors. TEN SALOONS QUIT SINCE PROCTOR LAW It is estimated that about ten saloons have gone out of business in Hammond since the Proctor liquor law went into effect. Under the Proctor law no new licenses can be issued while the num ber of saloons in the city is more tl.n one saloon to each five hundred nonulation, or if the city sa fit one saloon to every thousand Inhabitants. The number of saloons in Hammond at the present time numbers one hundred and sixty-five, those who went out of business having done so because of lack of trade. A representative saJoonkeeper speaking of the saloons closing up said that if the Proctor liquor law with the exception of the Sunday closing feature were rigidly enforced, many another saloonkeeper would have failed to procure a license, and that the elimination of the undesirable element would be greatly appreciated by any saloonkeper who conducts a respectable place. CHICAGO MAN GUILTY Christ Peatter. 8026 Haynes avenue, Chicago, a driver for the Darling Feed company of Chicago, was arrested yesterday on a warrant by Officer Trost for violating the pure food law.. He was placed under a $100 bond and the date of trial was not set. The Darling Feed company will appear before Judge Barnett and enter a plea pf guilty. Mr. Roberts, the state feed Inspector, swore out the affidavit for Peatters" arrest. The Darling company is charged wUh not labeling its feed, which the law requires. Inspector ' Roberts found a quantity of chicken feed in. the wagon that did net have a label, and the affidavit was made out to that effect.

PAR

NOT HE

TOOK THE FAN Because a young Hammond man who gave his name as Edward Schutz got into trouble in East Chicago for stealing an electric fan, Edward Schutz, son of Peter Schutz and brother of Councilman Arthur Schutz, has to make innumerable explanations to the effect that he is being confused with the Ed ward Schutz who figured in the police court, and is not the one who stole the fan, which is plain to be seen when he is at his home and the other is serving a sentence at Crown Point. MM STREET! Arlie Henry Still Away. Arlle Henry, who disappeared from Hammond several days ago and has not been heard from since, has not yet returned to his work at the Erie depot and no word has been heard from him. The matter still remains a mystery which apparently will not be solved until he is heard from. His wife Is still convinced that he has gone west and will write to her as coon as he is located. Will Respect Their Wishes. The feeling among members of the Hammond-Athletic association is. that in view of the fact that the mayor and chief of police will not stand for any further boxing exhibitions, that they ought to respect their wishes and, not attempt to hold them in spite of these orders. There are a number of others, who have been Interested In these exhibitions, but it is believed that the counsel of the majority of the membership will prevail and that other athletic events will be substituted. Wilson Monteith Here. Wilson Monteith of Port Huron, Mich.. Is here the guest of his uncle. A. Murray Turner of the rirst National bank, for a few days. Mr. Monteith is also a banker in the wideawake Michigan City and one of Its progressive citizens. Two other broth ers of his are managing editor and city editor, respectively, of the Port Huron Times-Herald, the leading paper in the city. Arrive at Destination. W. J. McAleer and his party arrived at Owen Pound, Ont., yesterday, and in a card to The Times says that they have had splendid luck. The roads were good all of the way with the exception of parts of Michigan. Chatsworth, Ont., was one of the towns visited. Association to Meet. The North Side Improvement associa tion has a meeting scheduled to be held tomorrow evening at Woczynski's hall. The association has a number of Interesting subjects on the tapis for the meeting, and a good attendance is ex pected. Minor Accidents. Officer Limine, while standing in the middle of the street, was struck Dy a bicycle ridden by Joe Tranborytizinci, at the corner of State ana j-ionman street about 7:15 last night and escaped with nothing more than a sudden jar. Immediately afterwards Peter Meyn turned the corner and another accident happened when his machine struck the bicycle that hit Officer Lamme. No one was Injured and the bicyclist pulled the wheel away in time to save his wheel from being smashed. The wheel of the automobile struck the front rim of the bicycle and broke it in two. Committees Meet Tonight. Tonight being the time set for reports from every committee appointed for the Elks' picnic at Klndel's grove, August 18, D. C. Atkinson, the exalted ruler, has caused special notices to be sent out to every member. Attorney John F.

Joe Sbragla was the victim of another bicycle thief last night when he had his wheel stolen from In front of the broken corner in Hohman street about 9:15 o'clock. The wheel answers the following description: Racycle, black frame, adjusted handle bars, spring seat, clincher tires, gear 108, big sprocket, leather grips,' ring off left grip, mud guards 'and coaster brake. Infested With Beggars. Hammond is infested with beggars as a result of the reported determination of the Chicago police to drive them out of the city. The invasion of Hammond began a few days ago and Hammond citizens are stopped on every street corner. Most of the beggars are able bodied men and are at least able to earn a living. Most of them declare that they have not had anything to east for a

WHO

day and are starving. One man stopped a pedestrian and

said, "Give me a dime, I'm dying for a drink." He was so frank about it that he got the money. But the people of Hammond are incensed to think that this motly gang has infested the city and claim It is an imposition on them to have to support Chicago beggars, many of whom are professionals. Board to Meet. The West Hammond village board will hold a meeting tonight for the purpose of deciding the date of the new city election and transacting other business of a routine nature. It is expected that the session will be an interesting one. Four Banks Get Monies. The apportionment of the school funds of the city of Hammond, which amount to about $160,000, will be made according to the capital and surplus of the banks. Only four of the banks will get these funds for the reason that the American Trust & Savings bank has not been in existence long enough to be denominated a depositary of school funds. The four banks which will get the!e funds are the First National bank, the Citizens' Germany National Bank, the Lake County Savings & Trust company, and the Hammond Savings & Trust company.

LIKE A BRAGGART Cecil Henderson, the Hebron runner, was a caller at this office this sfternon. Henderson says that if he ever gets & crack at Gavlt the Hammond lad will not be In the running pays the Valparaiso Messenger. Henderson is an amateur. He Is a member of the Central Y. M. C. A., in Chicago, and of course his past record was searched thoroughly before he was admitted to that body, as it consists solely of amateurs. Furthermore, It is not necessary for Henderson to prove that he Is an amateur, but in order to bar him from amateur competition,' It must be shown that he Is a professional. The Hebron lad can show a clean record, however, So It is now probable that the two rivals will meet In the near future. SEND THE TIME3 TO TOUR FRIEND, 300 LETTERS FROM UOJIS EACH YEAR.
