The movement in the Interests of a Hammond commercial club received "a tremendous Impetus at the mass meeting that was held in the Lake superior court house last evening. As a result of the activities of the comlttees which are' signing: up new members over 100 Hammond cltirens have decided to join the club and boost 'for a "Greater Hammond." This is the result of the first day's work. Between 200 and 300 additional members will be added to the lists before the campaign Closes Saturday night. This will give Hammond a commercial club that will be a power in the community, will be at once put on a paying basis, will attain the dignity of representing- the. entire, city and will have quarters of its own in the business, district. The meeting; last evening; was attended by nearly 200 leading; business men in spite of the fact that there were a number of counter attractions. 411 For It. f ' There was perfect unanimity of opinion on the question of the advisability of perfecting; an organization of this kind. A doten speeches were heard from lesding citizens and all favored the, movement. The meeting was called to order by Organization Chairman-Harry Johnson. Rosea 1.

Those who hayefoiunteered for a three days' campaign for members to the new-Hammond civic or commercial organization aro requested to meet at the Majestic hotel tomorrow morning, at 9 o'clock. Tt is important that everybody be present, and that they be on time. The campaign to be effective must be sharp and snappy. The work must be completed by next Saturday night. Any Hammond citizen who believes that the city's greatness and prosperity will be enhanced by an organratlon of this character should report at the Majestic hotel tomorrow morning; aritt- start out on the canvass for members.

City Attorney John Gavit made a fine talk In which he declared himself In favor of the movement and said he would do all he could to further It. "Something; has grot to be done," said Oavit, "or Hammond will not maintain its position as the commercial and civic center of the region." Judge Iawrence Becker made a strong; speech -in which he said that the owners of real "Estate as well as the business and commercial interests of the city would benefit by the organization of a commercial club. He said that: the club ought to serve the purpoBe oY'elimlnatlng pettv jealousies and putting an end to factionalIsm. He said that was one - of the worst things Hammond has to contend with.

Five memberships were placed among
the employes of the company. Otto Knoerzer, president of the Champion Potato Machinery company, said that he would place at least three memberships in his company. Other manufacturers declared that they would take a number of memberships to aid the movement. Judge Virgil S. Reiter made a splendid talk before the meeting in which he said that such an organization as Is now being formed will be of Incalculable benefit to the city'. HyeT pointed to the successes of the Gary and East Chicago Commercial clubs and declared that Hammond could do as well. He thought the club ought to be organized on a business basis so that It could employ a secretary and be properly financed from the very start.

When Messrs. Binder and Barricklow had explained he nature and necessity for such a campaign as has been started there was a call for volunteers to take up the work.

A great majority of these men reported at 9'o'clock this morning, or - shortly afterwards, and at once jumped into the campaign. The results -were immediate. Campaigners wearing "I am a Hammond Booster" started coming back within an hour with five, six and eight memberships. By noon 75 members had been
signed up and solicitors who have not

Indianapolis. Ind.. March 28. Republican conventions to select delegates to the national convention at Chicago will be held In the second, sixth, eighth, ninth and tenth districts today. In the second and sixth districts the Taft delegates are largely in the majority and Taft delegates to Chicago will be elected without trouble. Emissaries from the Roosevelt headquarters, however, are working in both districts in an effort to obtain proxies from Taft delegatesi The sixth district was so close at the state convention that there was a contest over every member of the committees that It selected, but the Taft managers believe they will get. the delegates, although admitting there is serious question as to the result. The eighth and ninth were both represented on committees at the state convention by Roosevelt men and cast a majority of their -votes for him In the convention. While the delegates that will serve today and those that served at the state convention are not the same, there is little doubt. that the Roosevelt men will control both conventions. It wll not surprise the Taft managers if there should be a bolt In the sixth district if Taft should prove to have a majority. The Taft representative was given a place in the committee on credentials over the Roosevelt man. This increased the feeling in tho district. The managers for Taft and Roosevelt have been -in constant communications with the five districts all day. Lively contests are expectd in the conventions. v

The Indiana Supreme Court yesterday upheld the title of John Guneenhauser to a tract of land of approximately 640 acres, part of which now Is covered by the city or Gary. The value of the property la more than $1,000,000. The case has been contested since 1908, when a decree was
entered in favor of the heirs of Lucy A. Sinclair and Susan v. Sinclair. Gunzenhauser acquired the land In 1887, when its value was far from its present worth. He never suspected that a cloud existed on the title. The court upheld the title on the ground that the contesting parties should have started the contest earlier.
