fourteen Taft delegates to be contest

delegates recently have been added to

the list of those to be contested. 1 It is understood that while here Mr. McHarg assured the Indiana Roosevelt men that he is in a position to cite at least twenty-five contest cases In which the Republican national committee, in times past, has ruled that

contested delegates can not vote as to

their own eligibility to sit in state

convention or other conventions.

which is the principal point of con. tentlon here. McHarg's visit, on the whole, served to encourage the Roosevelt men in Indiana to a marked degree. Thev

asserted last night that they were confident of winning their Indiana contests, and predicted that, in the windup at Chioago, Indiana's delegation would include, twenty ?two delegates, and perhaps twenty-four, out of the thirty.

In the meantime the Indiana Taft men have been preparing to meet the contests of the Roosevelt forces, and the Taft leaders continue full of confidence as to the outcome. It is expected that certificates will be Issued In the next day or two to uncontested national delpe-atea (mm

REGION

FEELS THROB OF

REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY The Calumet region is in the throes of acreage deals have been made. It

of the greatest real estate boom In Its history. People are invading it from Chicago and are looking for investments everywhere. There is no precedent for the activity that is taking place. Real estate agents and individuals are, selling and buying property right and left. Those who want to unload are doing so with great alacrity: Those who are buying are "getting in" before the big rush comes this summer. The activity is not confined to the north side. It extends all over Hammond. In the business and residential dlestricts. There are rumors in the air

that other plants are to locate. One authority said that four more smaller concerns are seeking locations In Hammond and East hicago. The Beckton Chemical Co.' at Whlting has the plans for its buildings on display in Whiting and will commence construction at once. A conterle of

Chicago business men arrived in East Chicago this morning and created quite a flury. Publicity Boosts Region. Gostlin. Meyn & Co. are selling a large amount of property. Calumet avenue seems to be the center of activity in business property in Hammond. The wet weather seemed to put a damper on the activities of the past week, but the bright day, today, brought out the buyers looking for bargains. It is expected that by next week the boom will be in full swing. A number

is expected that this summer thousands of lots will change hands. . New sub-divisions will be opened and the map of the entire district will be changed. One of the best features of

the big deal by which Hammond got j the Northwestern Iron company is the ; favorable publicity that is being given ' in the financial papers and in the newspapers of hicago, : 'When Allardt Eros, assumed control of the new Orpheum they flung to the breeze a banner on which was inscribed the slogan "A square deal for the public." From the list of attrac

tions that have appeared at that theatre since it opened the latter part of last year it would seem that the big showmen have lived up to their promise. A visible proof of their policy was made known this morning when Manager Hankinson was informed that the engagement of "Peck's Bad Boy," which was scheduled to occupy the latter part of the week, had been cancelled by the Allardts. In place of the farce comedy a variety bill will be seen starting tomorrow. "Peck's Bad Boy" was given Its inr augural at Michigan City late last

week.

Argument before the board of public works this morning by Harry G. Colson, the attorney for the Reid-Murdoch Co. against the Calumet avenue opening and widening, laid emphasis on the company's plans for the centralization of all its Interests in Hammond, news

of which was first made public in Thbj Times several weeks ago. The fact that the board of directors is seriously contemplating to move its Chicago plant to Hammond and because plans for an addititional factory building, five stories in heighth and 800 feet in length, were made as early as 1895, and that giving up a, ten-foot strip of land, which is intended for sidetrack, would hamper the company

to such an extent that It would have to change its plans materially to the detriment of the' size of the building, were given by the attorney for the company as reasons why the company should not be deprived of its land, or why the board should devise some other means for the widening of the

street. In Favor of Improvement. From a civic spirit standpoint, the company's, attorney said, the directors are In favor of the improvement, but, he said, the opening and widening of the street would not benefit Reid-Murdoch & Co. one bit, because it had its land for use and not for speculative purposes. According to its present plans the company intends to erect the building and to lay a sidetrack between the building and Calumet avenue. In order that its sidetrack may be left undisturbed, the company's representative suggested that the city in order to secure the necessary driveway width, eliminate the sidewalk In front of the eompany's holdings.

The board listened to the arguments, and took the case under further advisement. Before leaving the board E. F. Garlhe, general manager for the company who was also at the meeting, stated to the board that the plans for the centralization of the com

pany's interests in Hammond had been delayed for the reason that the company has been unable to get the railroad-facilities for western connections for less than carload lots, which business constitutes about 90 per cent of the company's shipments from Hammond. The company's spokesrrfen would not

set figures" at this time as to the speculative damages to their property in case the ten-feet are taken away. Otto C. E. Matthies and Mike Maginot also appeared before the board in answer to Invitations to make oral argru-

Walker Buys Lots.

J. L. Walker, who returned from Florida recently, where he invested in everglade prospects, took a whirl at Hammond realty this week and bought about twenty lots on the north side. He was able to get his money down at bottom prices on about seven lots on Gostlin street and sixteen more on Oak street. With the activity that 's now on at the north side he feels that he bought at the psychological moment.
