Washington, D. C, Jan. 4. Representative Crumpacker introduced a bill to create a new customs district In the state of Indiana. His bill embraces i'i a new district all of the south shore of Lake Michigan lying in the state, with Indiana Harbor as the port of entry. Ho fixes the salary of. the collector of customs -at 82,000 a year. Chicago is the port of entry at the present time for all of this northern In-

C. Appellee's ad-idiana territory and it gets all oC the credit for business transacted through

the thriving Indiana towns of Gary, Indiana Harbor and Michigan' City. All boats must enter and clear at Chicago and Indiana shippers, Judge Crumpcker says, are put to great inconvenience. Representative Mann of Chicago introduced a bill providing for a survey for a northern Indiana ship canal and appropriating 850,000 for that purpose.

He was acquainted with the contents of the statement that was is

sued by Allardt Bros, and in reply said,

"The principal claim of Mr. Allardt

to force him to employ more men than he actually needs to run his theatre. "The facts are that we agreed that two men are sufficient to enable him to run his house and were willing that he should employ that many. When Manager St. Clair wanted to know how many men they would have to employ in order to comply with the requirements of the Hammond local, we told him that two men would be sufficient. "The statement has been made by St. Clair that he knew of only two men in Hammond who are able to operate a moving picture machine as it should be operated. He said he wanted corn-

"We consider that the demands of the local stage hands' union are unjust. We are willing to and in fact are now paying the union scale, but not willing to meet the demand for a stipulated number of men. Two men aru sufficient to operate the stage at the Orpheum. In many of our other houses, much larger than the Orpheum, our stage crews are no larger than this. "Another demand of the local union that we consider unlust is that we shall

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, Jan. 4. Readers of a Chicago newspaper In Indiana Harbor were considerably surprised yesterday

to learn that sports by the hundreds

have- either of the two men he "named,"

We have never attempted to dictate to the management as to whom it should employ. There are a number of capable men in Hammond, and we simply, asked that Hammond men be employed. We are subject to a fine of 81C0 if we permit the employment of outsiders, when there are competent men in our' local who are unemployed." Regarding the scale of wages: We

claim that the scale of wages for stage

hands as provided by the Hammond lo

cal Is from $5 to 88 a week lower than in Chicago for the same class of a

house. The scale for moving picture operators is the same in Hammond

as Chicago, but the Chicago operators

are compelled to work for more matinees.

The local union Is anxious to do the

right thing and there will be no dif

ficulty in coming to an understanding:

have done had there been more visible

A great deal of interest is being taken in. the wireless station that is being operated in the outside box office of the Hammond theatre by on of the Lorenz Bros., who have a great mesmeric show this week. Messages from Grand Haven, Chicago and other places have been picked up today. There will be a large number of managers of " Chicago theatres who will come to Hammond tonight to see the performance of the Lorenz Bros, with the idea of booking them for Chicago engagements.

Hammond people who have seen the show say that it" is the greatest and most interesting mesmeric performance they have ever witnessed. " A special eflfort will be made to create a good impression tonight. What is known as the "blood test" is perhaps one of the most interesting features of the performance. The subjects are asked to hold out their hands and then after being mesmerized the bloood is seen to leave their hands and they become as' white as those of a. dead.: person. At the

officials of the union. We have looked the local situation ovfr and know of

no local stage mechanics capable of

holding the position of stage carpenter. "As a matter of fact we are now

paying the union scale to our stage

hands and will continue to do so.

"If wi should pay the unjust scale

demanded by the local stage hands'

union it would mean a difference of

several thousand dollars a year. This

would eventually come from the pockets of Hammond amusement lovers, as

we would be forced to curtail the cost of the bills now visible at the Or

pheum.

"Should the resultant deterioration of the programs cause a dropping off

in attendance we will be forced to close the new Orpheum. It wiU be

much cheaper to board up the doora than to j comply with the unjust de

TIMES BUREAC

AT THE STATE CAPITAIIndianapolis, Ind.. Dec. 4. Little Is being heard just now of the congest for the republican state chairmanship, but the name of Ward H. Watson, former judge of the appellate court, is the latest one mentioned for the place.

ISom.e of his friends have, started the

talk in his favor, and it has spread some. ; Watson formerly lived in Charlestown, in the southern part of the state, but since he retired from the appellate bench he has lived in this city, where he is the law partner of Frank S. Roby, also a former appellate judge, who came from DeKalb county. Watson is rated as a clever politician, and he is also a good lawyer. These two qualities, his friends say, fit him peculiarly for the office of state chairman this year, because of the fatft that the voters registration law and the corrupt practices act are both in force this year for the first time, and there will be many knotty questions for a lawyer to decide, arising out of the application of these two laws for the first time.

Watson has not made any announce- . ment of his candidacy, and it la not known whether he will run or not, but the talk, of his candidacy is going; about. v If James P. Goodrich or Harry S. New would take the place either man could be elected, easily, but they have said they would not have it, and it is not expected that either one will change his mind about it. Goodrich was state chairman for ten years, and made an enviable record. But he is too much engrossed with business now to pay any more attention to a job like the state chairmanship, he says. New has repeatedly said he did . not want any office or any Job or appointment in politics. He has refused enough political jobs to make a score of men happy. So there is not the slightest prospect that he will be given the state chairmanship. It would.be a clear case of drafttng a man if it was handed to him. There is a good deal of talk about Will H. Hays of Sullivan,,f ro the place, and it is said, too, that, there will be other candidates. " ..

pheum theatre, Hammond, is the authority for the statement that some of the best musical comedies in the country will be put on at 10 and 20 cents in the near future. 1 Tabloid or pemmleanized musical comedy is the latest thing in vaudeville and is making a great hit. It seems impossible to stage a show with a cast of twenty or thirty people and make It pay at 10 and 20 cents, but that is what the Allardt Bros, have done. ' The first show of this kind that will be put on at Hammond is "The Sunny Side of Broadway," with Max Bloom

IS, "Merry Mary" will be the attraction. This recently showed at the Hammond theatre. Menlo E. Moore, proprletoi'"and producer 9f "The Stage Door johnnies'

that opened at the Orpheum this afternoon, is regarded as one of the most original and daring impressarios In vaudeville. Moore has lavished time

and money on his "Aeroplane Girl," "Rah, Hah Boys" and "Iads and Las

sies" with a prodigality that up to the time of his entry Into variety realm had never been approached. Moore is a young man who broke into show business by conducting theatres in Vincennes, Ind. A little over a year ago he" had several ideas that he determined to back with his own money. . Moore's Rah, Rah Boys, with the Aeroplane Girl, was the first act to be offered. Its success was sensational. Early this season "Lads and Lassies" wa produced with the same result. Now comes "The Stage Door Johnnies." This Mr. Moore considers the crowing triumph of his career. The local engagement is preliminary to a lengthy tour of the Orpheum circuit for which tour the act was designed. Ordinarily it would be too expensive to offer in theatres where the scales of prices are as diminutive as those prevailing as the local spoke in the big Allardt wheel. So unique, blzzare and pregnant with stagewitchcraf t have beeif the electrical and scenic effects in previous Moore productions that, this young Hoosler genius has been called 'the "Belasco of vaudeville." The magnitude and seeming disregard for monetary outlay have earned for him the co-title "Barnum of Variety."
