JOHN HI BECKIHAN FAVORS CITY MARKET Claude Allman of Crown Pt., Once a Grocer, Says It Wouldn't Hurt Them. John M. Herkman said today that he thought a city market in Hammond would "be a greater benefit to Ham mond than a large factory. He paid that it would tend to centralize usi ness in Hammond and would make it the objective point not only for farm ers for miles around but would bake It a desirable place for the workingman to live. It is his opinion that anything that will tend to reduce the cost of living will make the labor market beter. Hammond is now regarded as the best labor maket in the Calumet region and In his opinion it would be better If the cost of living could be reduced by a city market. ; Allman FsTori Market. ! Claud W. Allman of Crown Point was in Hammond today after an extensive old country every city 'of any size has Its city market place and that the re sult is that people are able to buy di rect from the farmer for a much lower figure than they could buy from the grocer. Allman says that at one time he was in the grocery usiness and thatit waff hla experience that there Is little profit In produce any way and he did not see why the grocer should oppose the establishment of a city market when it would attract business in the staple lines from the farmers who bring their produce to the city market.

SHUTTLECOCK WITH '

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Aug. 7. Beacon street accustomed now to the lime light, seems determined to bask in its brilliancy. Having had their fill of beggars, burglars and sneak thieves, and feeling secure in the extra protection under which they are resting . since Chief McCormick detailed four plainclothes men to enforce a sort of martial law on the two blocks of Beacon street's length, the residents sort of like that sort of thing and are anxious for It to continue as long as passible, so leave no stone unturned which may serve to keep Beacon street in the eyes of the police department, even at the expense of much publicity. Accordingly this jViorning when a man with a hook at the end of one arm was seen begging on the little horoughfare, one of the house-hold ers called up the police and notified hem that another desperate character was at large in the vicinity. It was about five minutes after the call came n that Captain Marner's manly form was seen looming up at the end of Beacon street. The beggar being still in evidence, t did not take the doughty captain long to seize upon the unhappy hook armed one, and gently but firmly led him to the Hammond line. Here he assisted the haste of the beggar deROAD TO LEAVE RENSSELAER OUT? Change of Route of Indiana Northwestern Predicted. The route of the Indiana North western traction line, which, as origlnaffy surveyed, runs from Chicago south through Lake county, through Lincoln. Colfax and Jackson townships, in Newton county, and then east to Rensselaer, may be changed, cutting Rensselaer out, according to dispatches from Morocco. If this is done the road will be built south through Newton county to Kentland and to Lafayette and Danville. The Lawler brothers of Chicago, who own several thousand acres of land in northern Newton coun ty, have given a right of way through their lands, and have promised, it is said, to give a large sum of money also to aid the road.

The local Odd Fellows, In whose charge the arrangements were placed, are to be congratulated upon the success of the affair. The attendance was mainly composed of resident sof the south end of the county, although there was also a good representation from the north end.

No sooner had he made his appearance In Hammond, tha another officer, belonging to Chief Austgen's department, not liking the look of the stranger, offered to help him back to Kast Chicago.
