E. CHICAGO GRAPPLERS
Main Event Is Not Staged Berause of Poor Attendance.
But a small crowd attended the excellent wrestling exhibitions at the
Lewis skating ring last night, and it was again demonstrated that wrestling
does not make a hit with the sport
fans of Lake county. No better card could have been arranged, as Fromottr
Joe Simpson did everything in his power to make the program r success, but the public refused 10 attend. On account of the small house it was found impossible to stfgc the main match between Charley Kid Cutler and Frank Sworclna. who challenged Cutler last week after his battle with the Bohemian. Instead of the main match two Kast Chicago grapprs, John Mustivey and Walter l.ula. appeared on the mat and Instead of proving themselves a couple of amateurs they demonstrated that they knew something about the garnet and made quit a hit with the fans. Mustivey had a little the better of his man and won the tlrst and only fall In two minutes. Young 1 lackcnscbmidt and Vincent Melsuch appeared in the curtain raider and gave the auuien" a fast exhibition of scientific wrestling, llacker.se'imldt again proved himself n"i artist at the game and took both falls in 16 minutes and 4.j seconds. The first was gained in 14 minutes by a head lock and reverse Xe!n and the second in 2 minutes 45 seconds with a body and leg hold.
In the wfudtip Joe Thomas appeared too much for Itattllng Reilly, winning two falls in 9 minutes. Heilly did not have much of a chance with his man and at no time was Thomas in serious danger. The first fall was made by a crotch and half Nelson in C minutes, the second by the same In 3 minutes. Frank Ryan the new 20 pound white hope was Introduced from the ringside and from all appearances Ryan is there with the goods. His former home was in Dubuque, la. and during the past lx months has .been staying in East Chicago where he is In the training hands of Manager Joe Simpson. Ryan will be matched to go against AI Palzer in a short time. Commencing Monday Manager Joe Simpson wil start a juvenile boxing school at the Lewis skating rink and the gymnasium will be given free to the lads that want to use it. It was also announced last night that the first of a series of boxing exhibitions will be stayed next Friday, March 1st. A good card is being arranged and among the contestants wll be seen Jimmy Walsh of Englewood and Frank Burns of New York. The bouta are to be staged in a quiet manner and no special train will be allowed from Chicago.

Realizing this the judges who 'are affected by this situation naturally do not want any opposition to their election next fall. It Is understood that they would like to have the Lake County Bar Association come out flat footed against the nomination of any candidates in opposition to the judges already In office. Then the names of Judge Virgil S.
Reiter, Judge Lawrence Becker and Judge Johannes Koelke would be the
only names on the ticket for these re sective offices.
Their election would be a matter of
course and they would have the right
to hold office for four years longer in
stead of standing for re-election this fall or taking their chances on having their right to hold office for two years
lenger under the act of the legislature
challenged on the grounds of the un
constitutionality of the act.
So therneeting of the bfer association
on Monday is to be called for the pur
pose of having It go on record as being opposed to the nomination on either ticket of any candidates for Judicial
honors other than those ho are now
se rvlng.
But there is considerable opposition
to such a bi-partisan compromise. The republicans think that with two other
strong men on the ticket along with Judge Reiter would help the ticket a
great aeai, Dotn in a financial and a
moral way.
They say, looking at the matter from
a purely partisan manner that Gover
nor Marshall did not make non-par
tisan appointments when he filled the
two new judgeships with democrats.
Then too there are lawyers all over the county who are ambitious to wear 1 the judicial ermine. Attorney Georg Manlove of Gary is one and there, are a number of democrats who would like to make the race for the judgeship. Now that the real object of the meeting of the bar association is known it is believed that there will be a large attendance next Monday and tfcat there w-ill be some interestin gdiscussions before the meeting is over. It ia known that for the past four or five weeks prominent attorneys at the bar have been called for the purpose of talking over the matter. The advice of others has not been sought. It Was these who tipped off the fact that the real purpose of the meeting was not explained In the call.
at an early date. . tiet at Fart. But the discussion developed some interesting facts. It developed, according to Mr. Drum, the fact that it would cost $60,000 to make, the experiment of running the cars around the proposed loop. It developed the fact that it costs $45 a day to run a car and that each car must carry 900 people a day to make expenses. This cost includes everything from the salary of the crew to interest on the bonds of the company. "Hammond," said Mr. Drum, "is Just growing to the size when it has ex
panded beyond the one-mile walking limit. He said that very little busl- 1
ness i3 done in a city like Hammond until people living outside of the onemile radius from the business district of the city." Mr. Drum declared that he had made
a count of the number of people who walk and who ride on the Hammond-
Kast Chicago, cars. He said that on: the day the count was made, which was ; an average day, that 1.S00 people rode I and S00 walked outside of a certain ' radius. lie said that if all of the peopie rode that the xtra revenue would
not warrant the company in putting on extra cars. Vlll Appreciate Sfrrler, But even though Mr. Drum was able
to demonstrate the fact that the present business that is. done by his company would not warrant it in putting 1 on more frequent service, he. did not take that as an opportunity to evai his responsibilities to the people. j He was informed that if he provided better service that the people . would appreciate in to the extent that!
they would ba-k him up in his efforts to secure franchise extensions.
He was promised the support of the I Hammond Manufacturers' association, I
formed him never went out- after anything It did not gft. in any fair traction extension projects that it might develop, providing he would do something to improve the service in Hammond. Mr. Drum made it plain that the larger his system in the Calumet region becomes, the more his company will be warranted in improving the service in the centers of population. I.ox 1 970. Mr. Drum said that his company was ready and willing to build the Indiana Harbor extension, which the people of Hammond and East Chicago are now so Insistently demanding, two years ago, but the Hammond city council would not grant him the necessary fran
chises.
He said that $500,000 was set aside
for the purpose and that this money lay in the bank for six months, entailing a loss in interest alone of $7,500.
He said that his people had the mon
ey to spend for these extensions, but that If he Is compelled to go to them and inform them that the people demanded universal transfers and eight rides for a Quarter, that they will inform him that none of their money will go Into a street car project on that basis.
He said that universal transfers
would make the thirty miles of his
Lake county system merely feeders for
the Gary & Interurban line, with Its
three or four miles of track In North township, -and that it would not be a
business proposition to grant such a concession.
In the matter of granting eight rides
for a quarter, or any concessions from the regular five-cent fare, Mr. Drum said that the region is too sparsely settled to make such a plan feasible.
The Hammond Manufacturers' asso
ciation was very well pleased with the
results of the first conference, for the
reason that they believe an Improve
ment In the service will result. Just what that will be remains to be seen
Vhen Mr. Drum is ready to make his
recommendations.

GARY GIVES
CONTROL PLAN Washington, Feb. 24. E. H. Gary of
the Vnited States Steel corporation has
prepared and sent to the senate committee on interstate and foreign commerce a bill elaborating in detail his suggestions for the control of Inter
state industrial corporations.
Like Mr. Cummins, Mr. Gary advo
cates the establishment of a board to supervise the great industrial corporations. This board, to be known as the corporation commission, he would empower not only to prevent combina-
ions in restraint of trade, but to stop
such practices as cut-throat competi-
lon that tends to creato the conditions
from which combinations In restraint of trade subsequently arise. He would
have the decrees of ' the commission
subject to federal court review. The commission, he says, should have jur-
sdiction over all interstate corpora
tions, other than common carriers, hav-
ng a capitalization of $10,000,000 or
more.
BETTER SERVICE TAKEN

UP
the fact that the company had a mighty bad reputation to live down; he admitted that it apparently (to those who did not know the real facts) had made promises which it had not-fulfilled. He even opined that more frequent service In Hammond might pay, and said that he-would study the matter out and make the resnlt of his study known to the Hammond business men
HAVE A LITTLE GOLD FilE OF YOUR OWN
Rich men are not the only one who can put their money where It will bring big Interest. Any man of moderate
means who watches his chance in Canada can Invest a small saving each
month with the same certainty of
golden returns as if he were a mil
lionaire.
Chances to double and triple your money in Canada are bobbing up all the time. Just watch the new railroads and you'll soon find your opportunity. The railroad has always been the key
to wealth In Canada and the greatest
of them all, the Grand Trunk Pacific,
is Just now being built.
According to the registered right of
way this line when completed will join
Fort Fraser, B. C. with both the At
lantic and Pacific coasts and gather In a volume of commerce that Is sure to make this future city one of the most
Important n all Canada.
Calgary, when opened up by the Canadian Paclfic( took a Jump from 4,000 to 40,000 in population and $200
lots rose to fabulous prices, some even
going as high as $10,000 to $30,000 and
$60,000. Edmonton. Princo Rupert and other towns have had similar experi
ences and this kind, of history Is now to be more than repeated In Fort
Frase-.
This town site has more natural advantages than any other new town In
Canada, being a center of commerce by both land and water and located in the
midst of one of the richest agricultural
regions on the earth. It only awaits the railroad, which is already near, to
start the same kind of a boom which
made fortunes for the early investors
in Calgary.
The man with small capital can snap up some of the choicest lots In Fort
Fraser now for as little as $100 to $200
If he acts quickly, and pay for them
on the easy terms of 10 per cent down
and 5 per cent per month. No interest
or taxes until fully paid . and titles
guaranteed by the British Columbian
Government Itself.
