CARR SUIT ENDED. A jury In the superior court at Val
paraiso last Thursday decided the case
of Carr vs. Carr, a suit to quiet title
In favor of Mrs. Carr. The trial ot
the case lasted twelve days and involved J100 000, The bodje-'was out but a short time
and but two ballots were taken. The
first stood 11 to 1 in favor o the plaintiff and the second was unanimous for
her. ThiH suit was a quiet title case
similar to the one which was tried here
not long- ago, when the same plaintiff
was in a suit against a different number of defendants. That case was also decided In favor of Mrs. Carr, but the defendants took a new trial by right and the next time it will be tried in the superior court at Michigan City. The suit just tried involved a tract of
land consisting of about twenty-five
a9res. It is estimated to be worth
$100,000. The whole tract of land for which she has contended, comprising over a hundred acres. Is now a fortune
in itself, while just a few years ago
the plaintiffs considered it almost
worthless, as did nearly every one else.
E. O. Ballard of Gary and T. E. Kelly of Valpo are attorneys for Mrs. Carr.

During a brawl on Morton avenue last night Officer Strong placed three men under arrest on a -charge of assault and battery and using obscene language. They were: Joseph Wilfringer, 480 Morton avenue; Fred Wanninger 164 Company House, East Hammond; Frank Butz, 4S0 Morton avenue, Hammond. The men were tried before Judge Barnett in thefcity court this morning and were found guilty each receiving a fine of $5.6 and costs amounting to $12. In making the; arrest the three men resisted the officer and he was froced to call for help. Philip Holelen 562 Mortop avenue in helping Officer Strong, received a severe out on his head from being struck with something- which he could not tell. So severe was ( the bruise that Dr. Young was called to dress the wound. The men were unable to pay their fines this morning-.

it was expected to bring. The best the plant ever did was to employ 2,800 men and pay out $80,000 every two weeks in wages. Since lhat time the new steel passenger car department, which In itself employ 1,500 men, has been built. When the plant opens up again and finally gets to running full force 5,500 men will be employed, and Thh Times has it on reliable authority that the pay roll will probably reach $200,000 for each two weeks period or a total of $1,800,000 a year next year. PROSPERITY COl.VO. The tremendous effect of such a bimonthly distribution of wages can only be approximated. It will convert Hammond into a great city of marvelous possibilities and remarkable actualities. And the work of the starting of the plant has been given. The materials for the building for the building of steel cars has been ordered and will soon be shipped to Hammond. Then the sheering department will be put to work. This will be followed by the punching department. This by the riviters and assemblers until finally the painting squad will be put to work. And if the orders for cars come in as fast as it seems they must in order to replenish the worn out equipment of the railroads, then the 5.500 men will be employed and they will be paid the $200,000 every two weeks that will convert Hammond into one of the best townsl n the United States.
Steps to secure a delayed charter for the State Building Trades Council of Indiani were taken last week at Indianapolis at a conference betweeh W. T. Ginn of Hammond, secretary, and Joseph B. Etchison of Indianapolis, president of the state council. While the state council was organised more than a year ago it has not yeUobtalned Its charter from.fhe building trades department of the American Federation of Labor, because the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, who are well -represented , In the state council, were "in bad" with
the national department.
It is explained, however, that there
will be no further difficulty in obtaining a charter, and formal applica
tion will soon be made.
Plans for the next annual conven
tion of the State Building Trades
Council were discussed by Mr. Etchison and Mr. Ginn. One of the matters expected to come up at the convention
is the form of a proposition to increase
the per capita tax, which at present is 2 cents a member every three months. An Increase Is desired in order that
there may be sufficient money to em
ploy a state organiier and pay the expenses of organization work, as it Is the intention to begin an energetic
campaign for a stronger council after

Lake county's death rate for the month of October, the report for which Is Just out in the Indiana Health Bulletin, shows the rate to have been high for the month as compared to the annual averasre, which is 11.6 for the state and 11.0 for the northern counties. Lake colfnty's death rate for the month of October was 14.3.' Of the Lake county cities enumerated
in the report Hammond Is the only one
whose death rate for th month of Oc
tober is below the annual average. The cities are classified according to popu
lation, Hammond being in the third
class, for Which the annual average per thousand population is 11.6. Ham
mond's - average for the month of Oc
tober is 10.1. East Chicago and Gary in this report are classed among th4
fourth class cities, for which the an
nual average death rate per thousand population is 13.3. East Chicago's
death rate for the month Of October
is give nas 18.4, and Gary's. 21.0.
Vhlting Is ranked among the fifth class cities,' whose annual average death rate is 12.3. Whiting's death rate for the month of October is given as 12.5.
LOAN ASSN. MEETS. Last night the directors of the Ham
mond Building & Loan Association, the first to be organized in Hammond met
and changed the constitution of th
association so as to make it possible to extend the payments over a. longer
period of time.
Heretofore there has been but one plan In operation by which the Investor
could pay 25 cents a week on a loan of $100 together with S per cent interest per annum. This required six years to
pav out the loan.
Under the new plan the subscriber to the loan can pay 23 cents a week plus 15 cents per week Interest and pay the loan out In six years or he can pay 15
cents a week plus 15 cents a week in
tprpst and nav the loan out In nine
years.
The subscriber has the option of tak
ing either the six year or the nine year plan and the old members can change from the six year to the nine year plan
if they see fit.
The advantage to the subscriber I
that he may borrow a larger amount of
money and provide himself with a bet
terhome by paying out -the loan In smaller Installments and extending it
over a greater period of years.
Th. advantage to the community is
that it will encourage, even to a great
er extent, the building of homes of a better kind. It will make It possible for the man on a salary to own his own
home in the coarse of a few years.
The change in the constitution will take effect the first of the year. It Is
an innovation In the Calumet region but
it has been employed "with success in
other cities in Indiana.
the charter has been received from the building trades department. Arrangements are now under way looking to the formation of local councils in four or five cities In the state. The selection of a date for the convention has been left in the hands of Mr. Etchison and Mr. Ginn. They wish to hold the convention as soon as convenient after the receipt of the charter. The place for the convention may be Terre Haute or Indianapolis, the decision to rest in the hands of the executive board. It had been the intention to hold the convention at Terre Haute, but a question of jurisdiction. In which one of the Terre Haute locals la involved, may cause the convention to be held in this city. The convention probably will be held about the first of February. The officers of the state council are: President, Joseph B. Etchison, Indianapolls; first vice president, F. J. Sherman, Indianapolis; second vice president, E. L. Slough, South Bend; third vice president, Peter A. Boland, Indianapolis; fourth vice president, James Rae, Lafayette; fifth vice president, C. L. Terry, Indianapolis; secretary, W. T. Ginn, Hammond. Mr. Ginn is also the business agent for the local union of Hammoiyi painters.
NEW ORPHEUM OPENS
' ITS DOORS SUNDAY
The new Orpheum theatre threw open
its deors for the first time Sunday af
ternoon. A vaudeville bill, which is
an actual criterion of what mav be ex
pected in this line in the future, as
sures the permanent success of the Or-
pheum.
A number of prominent theatrical
men were present at the opening per
formances Sunday. Barring the fact that the lobby has not yet been 'finished
and some minor deficiencies, the open
ing- could not have been a more 'propitious one.
When General Manager L. F. AUardt
of the Allardt circuit declared early last week that the theatre would open last
week It seemed beyond the power of brain and brawn to have the house in
any way near fit shape for the recep
tion of patrons.
Had one been blindfolded until safe
ly past the. front portal they would never have known but that the playhouse had been prepared weeks before.
Great banks of floral offerings from friends of the proprietors graced the lobby. A giant horseshoe from C. J.
Allardt. manager of the South Bend
Orpheum, surmounted what will be the
box office when completed.
Mr. Cortelyotl seems to have hit the bull's eye right off the reel by having provided one of the most pleasing
programs one could expect to see for several times the low prices prevailing at the Orpheum. Barney Young has surrounded himself with a coterie of capable musicians and his orchestf-a makes a fitting adjunct to the handsome theatre, perfect arrangement and fine bill. The motfion picture display was not as clear $ts it might have been. It Was Impossible to have Joseph Dokes, Allardt Brothers' motion picture expert, here for the opening, he being engaged in Installing machines in new AUardt houses in Superior, Wis., and Fort William, Ont. When it was found that the results were not satisfactory the expert was cbmmunieated with and will 'reach Hammond this morning, after which there will undoubtedly be no cause for complaint on this score.
Among the theatrical men prominent In the show world who; were present at the first performance were L, F. All
ardt, general manager of the big All
arat tour of twenty-five high class vaudeville theatres in this country and
Canada; H. J. Allardt, general booking
representative of the Allardt circuit:
B. W. Cortelyou. booking representative
of the Western Vaudeville Managers'
association, and who will have direct charge of the programs to jbe seen at the Orpheum. Mrs. L. f. Allardt ac
companied Mr Allardt.
Closes New Contract. The announcement Is made by officials of the Theatrical Stage Employes and Operators Of Hammond, local No. 132. that Manager C. G. Kingwill has signed a contract with them for the coming year. - This Is believed to be a much more satisfactory way of working, as both the employer and the employed will know just what to expect. This Is taken, to mean that the Hammond theaters will pay the scale all of the way through and will comply with the requirements of the Union.) On the other hand, Kingwill will have the advantage of having skiled men to do h'is
work and will know that needed wll be supplied.
