Frank Gavit, president of the r.nrv Interurban, who s asking, for the Ken- ( nedy avenue franchise in Hammond. appeared Derore the board of public works in Hammond this morning with a, revised franchise, in which he concedes every point asked for, with the exception of th demand of commutation tickets at the rate of seven tickets for a quarter after five years or even after ten years. To grant this concession, he told the board, would be "the straw that breaks the camel's back." Several days ago in discussing with representatives of the Carpenters' union, who said they also represented th union sentiment In Hammond generally, Mr. Gavit, in answer to their demand that the commutation .ticket rate go Into effect after five years, said that he might consider the proposition with a ten-year-llmlt clause but tni'ri k representatives that he would have to take It up with the fcoard of directors. ine union men. however refused to Tobasco Sauce, - m f per bottle Kookt Ote, ready to serve, just the thing for breakfast, pkg., gc 3 packages High Grade Toilet Soap, box, regular price 25c, this sale Rice, per pound, 20c 3 pounds for Crescent Mapeline, per bottle 23c 3 bars in 19c 25c 35c CHOICE MEATS Pork Loins, per pound Pork Shoulders, per pound..

consider this proposition, and this

morning Mr. Gavit came back with the answer from his company that it would be Impossible to finance the extension with either the five or ten-year clause In It. r Suggest Another Compromiser " ! E. E. Cole, chairman of the committee, still anxious to brin about a concession, suggested that a clause be embodied in the franchise providing that, if after a five-year period the company could show that it had not made a reasonable profit on its investment, the limit then be extended to ten years. Mr. Gavit, however, answered to this that his company could not consider the reduced fare clause either after a five or ten-year period. The labor committee informed the board of public works that it hoped to present another petition by next Monday which was to be signed by other labor union men. Further consideration of the franchise was deferred until next Monday. The franchise as It now reads would be granted to Frank Gavit personally, and specifies that all the provisions in the original Gary & Interurban and the new line in his name, and that he agrees $p give the city a $10,000 forfeit bond. The franchise further specifies that it should become null and void four months after Frank Gartt receives a franchise from East Chicago, If by that time he is not operating cars on the extension.

In the neighborhood of 100 of th members of the University club and their, wives sat down to a five-course dinner at 7:15 last evening, and began one of the most pleasurable evenings of the present winter social season. After dinner the men retired to the card and billiard rooms to smoke, while the ladies occupied the main club room.

A number of attractive ornamental lights were placed on tables and taborettes about the room. The tables presented an attractive appearance, and extended In two rows throughout the length of the hall. Vases filled with jonquils made the tables all the more Inviting.

E SEES NIFTY When Manager G. C. Kingwell of the Hammond theatre booked "The Goose Girl" for last night he gave his patrons his personal guarantee that it would be a high class production, and the audience, which filled the house comfortably, was higJi pleased. The success of last warranted Mr. Kingwell to make tentative arrangements to have "The Goose Girl" produced again in Hammond, the next time on a Sunday evening. The play is a dramatization of Harold McGcath's famous romance of the same name, and while, the plots and counter plots of the original have naturally been greatly simplified, the story has lost none of its charm. What it lacked in detail of the story was made up by the appearance In flesh and blood of a charming little goose girl, whose identity Is not revealed until th final curtain, when she becomes a princess. Virginia Ackerman, as Gretchen the goose girl, endeared herself to the audience by her manner and acting. She has a smile and manner which adapt her naturally to the rote. Florence I. Nelson, as Hildegarde, the mistaken "princess, is captivating with her democratic manner and aristocratic bearing. .The other players of 4he comparatively large cs were equally good, and when "The Goose Girl" comes to Hammond again it will undoubtedly be patronized by a large audience, desirous of seeing a clean, dashing romantic little play well acted. " Catherine Countiss, in "The White Sister." next Sunday afternoon and evening is another play which Manager Kingwell recommends very highly to the patrons of the Hammond theatre. Viola Allen made this play-famous, and it deserves to be classed among the best plays on the stage today, because of the originality and deep human interest plot which it has. It la a love story of a young Italian officer and his sweetheart, who, learning that he had been killed In battle, becomes a Domlncan nun. There ' ensues an absorbing struggle between human passion and spiritual duty, when the soldier who was thought dead returns to claim his sweetheart and finds her in the convent bound there by the eternal vows of the order. How the problem between love and duty Is solved is told by a strong company. CHILDREN TAKE ATHLETIC DRILLS West Hammond and Hammond Lads and Lassies Have Some Sport.
