N1CKLE PLATE DETECTIVE WRITES

Tells of Reorganization of Police Force on Railway Lately.

Grant Hunter and his party of Hammond fiends returned last night in his big new motor boat. "Alma II' from

the Peoria Motor Boat Regatta, which was held on Tuesday and Wednesday. They report having had a glorious time, having been two days on the trip going down and two days coming up. At the regatta they were able to anchor in one of the most favored spots near the center of excitement. Herman Clous, manager of the tobacco department in the Lion store, added to the excitement by falling in the river, when the "Alma" was caught on a swell created by a runaway boat. The aquatic sojourners lived like kings on the trip, and say it was one of the best experiences they ever had. In the party were Grant Hunter, Emery J. Miller, Ralph and Harry Moonshower, Fred Abbott Jesse Peterson and Herman Clous. They witnessed the sinking of the famous Disturber the Third, a motor boat which can develop more than 40 miles an hour, and which cost twenty-seven thousand dollars. They were anchored next to this boat.

by Purtelle to this date, we are told.

People here had thought that he had succeeded in getting some Chicago backing to secure ana cinen a right-of-way and do what little work he has thus far done, but, it would appear that the backing, if any, was very limited or he would not be In the financial straits that he now Is so early in the plot. "Of course if he has had any outside backing the people who have backed him thus far wil have to put up more money or lose what they have already put in, and in view of the present financial status of the matter it is evident the backing has either been exhausted or has declined to go any further. "Purtelle still continues to make a great blow about what is being done

ana is going to be done "tomorrow or next day." About 75 men are now at work about Thayer and Roselawn. he

states; he is going to have the road

completed between Mt. Ayr and Thayer

in 90 days; a petition for an .election

will be filed with the commissioners

at their August meeting to vote a sub

sidy in Newton township and he's go

ing to put up a bond to cover the costs of a subsidy election in Carpenter township, and Remington, but he

seems to have the noted Baron Mun -chasen outclassed as a romancer, and his statements like his checks should be taken only for what they are worth."

Just a brief, smart catchy sentence that will be suggestive of that amusement park of which Lake county Is Justly prtiud. Tinder the trees and In

the breeze of the lake you can find a hundred dfferent " attractions from

which to choose the subject of your slogan. j ; ! Beginning' at the gate the Rath-' skeller Is the first place of Interest. Floyd Monnett. the young Hammond baritone, melodiously announces that "Some of These Days" in "Winter." when his "All Alone" playing "Steamboat Bill" he'll order "Buckwheat Cakes." Then there are other worthy entertainers so characteristic of a Rathskeller that it might be called "The home of Bohemians", there a sample slogan. The alrodome garden theatre suggests "The garden spot of the Calumet," the crowded Casino and popular ballroom "finest in the state" both have numerous possibilities. Even the location alone has created, "your own park in your own town." A season pass to the park and all attractions and concessions is the inducement for the beat slogan. The fortunate boy or girl may ride on the "figure 8" until the wheels are worn to the hub take possession of the splendid circle swing which gives you a clrcultlous ride in a 200 feet aortal track, or monopolize the minature railway, with the earnest and cheerful solicitation of the manage

Following the cnange in the detective force of the Nickel Plate railroad, news of which was printed in Thb Times; George E. Belkamp, a member ef the force makes an argument in faver of the reorganization of the force under a new chief. The following explains the reorganization of the force from the view point of the new regieme. Editor Thb Times: Dear Sir: Beg to Inform you of the facts connected with the change of the police fVce of the Nickel Plate R. R. on the Chicago division. Mr. M. L Bull of Hammond, formerly the captain of police on the "Nickel Plate" is a thoroughly competent man but Having beet me accustomed to a somewhat liberal expense account under a former chief of police, took exception to a reduction in expenses under the new chief. Referring to the accident to the car repairer being mistaken for a car robber, it was a mistake that was bound to occur inasmuch as the policy now is "no trespass" and people found in the yards at night without lamps

would do well to give a civil answer to

questions asked by the ones put there for the purpose of protecting property and enforcing the law. ' The police department is in very good shaps and there are no vacancies at this time, there is not a man in the force over 35 years old ajid they are all young, active and have all had lie positions on different roads throughout the county. The author of this letter is the only one of the old force that was retained in the service. The present captain. C. R Adams, is a man of exceptional ability and also of wide experience in this line having been' connected with numerous railroad companies in the states east o the Mississippi, a. C. Toll, the lieutenant of

The large vault which is to be used by the American Trust & Savings bank in Hammond has been purchased from the Fletcher National Bank and Is being removed from its old bank building In Indianapolis. The moving of this vault from tra old bank building to fiat.. car on the Monon railroad attracted a great deal

of attention. The following from Tbi Times Indianapolis Bureau tells of the moving of the vault at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Ind., July 29. Traffic wasj halted and pedestrians paused to witness an interesting feat in heavy trucking In Washington street. An immense steel vault was moved from the old Fletcher Bunk building, now being dismantled, and hauled to a car in the Monon yards. The vault, weighing thirty-eight tons, was hoisted on blocks with large ball-bearing jacks and then moved on rollers through a large cavity created in the Washington street front of the building. The crew rolled the vault to a heavy truck drawn by eight horses. The doors of the vault, weighing seven tons, had been leaded on another car. The entire vault equip, ment weighs sixty-five tons and it will require two large flat cars to carry It to Hammond, where it is to be part of the equipment of the American Trust and Savings Bank. People watching the men moving the big vault had fun with themselves

wishing they had all the money thai had ever been Jnside Its steel walls.

it i naa tu tne money mat has been stowed away in that vault I'd get married," remarked one young woman passer-by and It drew a laugh from the men working on the Job.
