because for dlayinii tho franchise a fortnight. - Public Wants Iel.ay. This much Is certain, that neither the business interests, the union labor in terests, nor the property owners generally will stand for any delay which would tie up the franchise for an indefinite time. Since the board signed the franchise, believing that the city would risk the loss of a needed extension, if the clause providing for seven rides for a quarter were embodied, the union labor interests who made the demand have been very busy getting signatures to petitions, in which they again make their original demands, eight rides for a quarter. These signatures are to be laid before the council for its consideration, and that body will have to wrestle with the proposition In the same way the board did. Members of the Carpenters' union who pressed the matter before the board, where they finally compromised on seven rides for a quarter, to go into effect after ten .years, have been most active In the circulating the petitions that are to go before the council. This morning they claimed to have several hundred signatures of voters, not only by circulating the petitions personally, but also by putting: them In the various business places. CouMlmra Want Franchise. The new petitions do not refer to the Gary & Interurban directly, but to all street car companies, and the petitioners ask that the council in granting franchises demand universal transfers and eight rides for a quarter, which shall be effective from 5 until 8 o'clock In the morning and from 4 until S o'clock in the evening. A number of the councllmen who have discussed the fare clause informally with a Times' reporter said that while they appreciated the position of the union and workingmen did not

think that the city should be put at tn risk of losing a much-needed line, if Frank Gavlt. who is seeking the franchise, is sincere In his statement that he will be unable to get capital with which to finance the line with this clause embodied In the grant PEOPLE llllf SIGIIIflGJETITIOIIS Documents Galore Are Being Circulated in Hammond. All of the petitions for better street car service ars to be called Jn by Wednesday so that those who have not signed so far are requested to do so. It Is confidently expected that the number of signatures will reach between 8,000 and 10.000. although there Is no way of telling at the present time. Arrangements are being made today to have A- L. Drum, the operating manager of the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago Railway Co., come to Hammond in tho next few days and meet the officials and members of the Hammond's Manufacturers' association. The officers of this association believe that they have shown that the demand for improved service Is Insistent, and they hope to receive considerable consideration from the street car company. In the meautime the men who have represented organized labor in Hammond are circulating petitions . among the people of Hammond asking for a "duclon In fares to eight rides for a Quarter during certain hours. These Petitions are being signed by a large Percentage of the laboring men of the community The petition Is addressed to the mavor and common council and asks them not to approve any franchise that does not include this provision. They also ask that no franchise that does not provide for universial transfers be reject. ed "RED DEVIL" NAME OF HEW MON TRAIN Indiana Railroad Announces New Train for Starting March 3"The Red Devil," a ncv special Mo-non-French Ijlck train, named so by Frank J.

STATE ST.

PAVING DISCUSSED

State line street paving plans were discussed In the Hammond city hall this morning by members of the West Hammond board of improvements, the members of the Hambnd board of pub. lie works and soe of t;.3 interested property owners. Apparently there remains no obstacle in the way of the Improvement, and all that will be necessary before the actual work can commence will be to get the sentiment of the property owners along the highway to learn just how wide a pavement and what kind of a pavement they want. West Hammond Ready to Act. The city of West Hammond was represented by John Glczewskl and Henry Fritsche, members of the board of Improvements; Attorney Martin, special assessment attorney, and S. K. Markman, village attorney. ' B. consent of the boards, Messrs. W. H. Gostlin of Hammond. Charles Mayer were appointed a committee to see the property owners to sign a petition which sets forth at once the width of the pavement and the kind of pavement to be used. Several plans were under discussion, with reference to the width of the pavement, there being already a tentative agreement that the pavement shall be built of asphalt macadam. Look for Township Aid. The Indications now are that bor corporations will look to the respective townships in which they are located for the building of the highway south from' Detroit street, Hammond, Detroit street being the south fity limits In West Hammond. This looks feasible and would make State line street the great north and south thoroughfare which It naturally should be as far as the Ridge road, at least. . The width Of the pavement Is going to be a bone of contention. It appears that a forty-foot pavement south from Plummer avenue to Ogden street will be accepted without question. Messrs. A. M. . Turner and W. H. Gostlin, who were at the session, advocated reducing the width of the pavement south of Ogden street, on the ground that for the present the property in this neigh, borhood south to Detroit could not standthe heavy assessments, and that In view of anticipated development, which they expect will materialize in five years or so, a twenty-foot pavement would answer the neews for the present. They suggested that the twenty-foot asphalt macadam be continued from Ogden street south to Carroll street, and that south of Carroll street just a plain macadam pavement with t good binding top dressing be- built Tne board advocated that at least a thirtyfoot asphalt macadam be built all the way south from Ogden street to Detroit street. BILLIARD A number of the games in the Uni versity club billiard tournament have been played off. A great deal of interest is being taken in the contest. It is expected that it will take several weeks before all of the contestants will have played games with each of the others. Ralph Wicks is the only unbeaten man so far. He has won all of his games by a wide margaln. and thera is some talk of increasing his handicap. I so as to make the contest more interesting. Twenty-one games have been played.

How many people in Hammond know that there is a concern located here employing in the neighborhood of forty i people, equipped with up-to-date ma chinery for the purpose of manufacturing bone and horn specialties such as buttons and knife handles? The name of the firm is the Sum mers' Manufacturing company, and it is located in half of the building occu pied by the Stewart Manufacturing Co., on Lyman avenue. Mr. Summers located here about three months ago, with but a few machines. but he ha expanded his new plant to such an extent that forty people are employed. Twenty-five machines are now In use, and Mr. Hummers is finding his present quarters Inadequate and In a short time he Intends to bull a large factory of his own. An order has been sent in for fifteen more machines. They will be insalled In a short time, and twenty-more peoI

TOUJIANENT

pie will be employ-d, making a total of sixty. At present the output runs close to a ton of buttons and knife handles every day, and Mr. Summers says it W'lll only be a matter of a short time when the output will be doubled. The bone and horns used In he manufacture of these buttons and knife handles are shipped here in barrels from the east and west, where they undergo

a process of curing, leaving them practically odorless. The question has been raised that the bones will cause an odor In warm weather, but Mr. Summers, In talking to a Times reporter, says that theis system of curing makes them perfectly dry and odorless. When the bone and horn arrives here It is assorted and cut Into strips of different sizes. It then goes through, a process of acid curing, and then to the button machines, which stamps buttons from the raw material. They are then polished, steamed and by the use of chemicals are colored and are finally counted and assorted. The knife handles undergo about the same process and an Interesting hour can be spent going through the plant. Mr. Summers Is well pleased with his progress so far, and thinks Hammond Is a fine city. We are doing a fine business and In a short time hope to erect a plant of our own. Attraction Drew Well. "Paid in Full at the Hammond theater last night played to a pocked house. Helen Aubrey, a well-known East Chicago woman, played the leading part, and there were a large number of East Chicago people over to see her perform. This Is the third or fourth time that this play has been seen In Hammond and It Is as popular as ver. "The Flqwer of the Ranch," a musical comedy of merit, will be seen at the Hammond theater next Wednesday. An effort is to be made to secure a big attendance so that it willl be easier to book good attractions on week nights. On next Sunday "Louisiana Lou," which has been called tho "ideal musical comedy," will be seen at , th Hammond theater. It Is expected that on. account of the large amount of advertising that this show has received in Chicago that it will be well patronized here. Patrons of the theater are advised to make their reservations early. Other attractions that are booked for the near future are the Ladles' Welsh Choir, which is to be given at the Hammond theater under the auspices of the Elks' lodge, and "The Third Degree," which has played In Hammond before and is regarded as a strong attraction. Elks Dance Tuesday. Everything- is In readiness for the Elks' pre-Ijenten dance, to be held at the Masonic temple tomorrow evening, and the affair promises to outdo any other of the Elks' midwinter social functions and preparations have been made to take care of a large crowd.
