That the auditor's office of the Indlana Harbor Belt Railroad now locat- j ed in Cleveland will be moved to GibBon in the reasonably near future is a I report current in railroad circles today. This step means an increase in the clerical force at the Gibson office, and in view of the fact that Gibson Employs re expected to live in the Calumet region, Hammond will be the principal benefactor growing out of the increased population. The change means an increased force Of about fifty persons at Gibson, the probabilities being that quite a number I of the Cleveland employes will move to Hammond. , Official Confirmation Kxperted. For economic reasons the auditing work growing out of the Indiana Har-i bor Belt railroad business was han dled in the auditor's office of the New Tork Central lines at - Cleveland, the local Belt line having been closely affiliated wit the New York Central linesi Recently, however, the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Chicago Northwestern roads have Jointly purchased forty per cent of the stock of theIndiana Harbor belt railroad, the New York Central lines retaining the balance.

Aviator Parmalee failed to encircle Pikes Peak and lost chance to wed Miss "Sweets" May of Iayton, Ohio. He made an altitude of 2,000 feet in rarlfled air but had to abandon the circling of the peak. Parmalee had been pressing his suit for a long time. Miss May, though, told him. she would never marry him until he had performed an aerial stunt that would startle the world. It was thou that the aviator arranged the Pike's peak flight. - The courtship had Its inception In a most romantic way. Two years ago Miss Mayy was visiting an uncle In the country, east of Dayton, whn Parmalee was receiving lessors at the Wright brother's aviation court, near Simrns' Station. While on a trial flight one day, Parmalee's craft crashed to earth on the farm where Miss May was a gue&t. Parmalee Jumped when a fe v feet from the ground and alighted on a large bam, suffering a broken leg and many bruises. Miss May heard "bis cries for help and procuring a long ladder climbed onto the roof of . the building and practically carried thyoung man from his lofty percU to the home of her uncle In the days that followed the girl was an attentive nurse and love was born.

Mayor Smallsy Concedes Practcality of City Market Idea; L. Wolf, of Kaufman & Wolf, in Favor of It and Idea. Is Generally Liked. Mayor John XX Smalley in an interview with a Times reporter this morning said the city market idea which is spreading over the country and which is being strongly advocated in Hammond, would receive full consideration at his hands, but that Jn view of the fact that Hammond is peculiarly located as compared to other cities he is not yet ready to act. Mayor Smalley readily conceded that as a general proposition the city market idea is a practical one. The two elements that cause him to hestitate in order to study the question, are Hammond's proximity to South Water street, and the big area over which the city is spread. He says it is a question in his mind whether on certain days of the week when the South Water street market is flooded, the- commission merchants would not sell so low to the retailers in Hammond, that the latter could sell on a par with -or possibly undersell the hucksters in the city market. Should this be the case there would not be much inducement for the huckster. As a second possible argumentwhich Continued on Page S.)
