commission comes i TO IB DIANA HARBOR
Coming To The Hammond Theatre
J u W of Kvansvt'.le chairman of the Plato railroad commission am) representing that body, sat yesterday in the rooms of the Commercl.it Club of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago for the purpose of hearing the answer of the rermsylvania railroad company to the petition of Charles K. Fowler and twer.ty-tive othe rcltizens of In diana Harbor, asking that the railroad company furnish adequate passenscr and freight at com modat ion s to the city
Their plans, however, call for a frame addition to the present structure and ' this is out of the question as it would be in direct violation of the fire limt3 ) ordnance. j When Mr. St riven had finished Judge j

Harbor present. Mr. Fowler was the first man railed on by Judge Wood to give the city's side of the case and he was followed by Mr. Seriven who answered the charges in the petition. Mr. Fowler went back to the beginning of Indian Harbor when the town's population was nil and when the present depot was built. From that he expatiated on the growth of the town and the demands made by r nson of that growth, in the way of depot facilities, which up to the present time had been ignored by the Pennsylvania a'thouh the Lake Shore had built three new depots, each one larger than its pre
decessor c'uring the same period. He told how the town had acquired a population of approximately 12.000. The mills and f -: ries give employment to about ' '" ' men, a. large proportion of w'r.t e not included in the 12,0"0 population referred to, inasmuch as thr.t they do not make their homes in Indiana Harbor. Almost all of the non-resident workmen used the railroad for transportation to and from their wot k making the tax on the depot's facilities much greater than would be the ease did the men reside in Indiana Harbor. Mr. Fowler was careful to state that the citizens were, in no way anxious to antagonize the railroad, button the other hard while demanding adequate facilities they wished to retain friendlj relations with the railroad. Mr. Schriveti was then asked to reply for the railroad to the araignment set forth in the petition. A great many of the counts he denied absolutely. Others he was compelled to admit were true, arid stated that, the road was anxious to correct the deficiencies. He announe ed the ro.nl had plans for an addition to the building whereby a grat many of the deficiencies could be remedied.
people who were waiting to take
the train for Chicago the evening before. One hundred and seventy-five waited for the 5:10 train and fifty-four for the 5:57. Twenty-five people got off the 5:20 arriing from Chicago and fifty got off the 6:4S arriving from Chicago. He stated that 15 passengers boarded the 6:1 Strain that same morning, westbound. Mr. Striven ani Mr. Leonard seemed skeptical as to .Mr. Kevan's ability to count that many people during the few moments in which he claimed to have accomplished the feat. Scrlven's sarcasm did not meet with much sympathy from Judge Wood, who stated, much to the surprise of everybody present, that he had been doirg a little bit of experimenting in the counting line himself and that he had counted the number of people in the room and that it took him only a fifth of a minute. He could therefore readily see how Mr. He-van could easily have counted the number he claimed to within the specified time, and then some. A number of other witnesses were then called, after which the judge asked those present who were ready to substantiate the evidence alreadygiven to stand up. The audience rose as one man. barring the railroad officials, who took a firm grip on their chairs and remained seated. The hearing then adjourned. Judge Wood announcing ;hat he would take the matter under advisement and let the interested parties know his decision in the near future. After the adjournment Judge Wood and the railroad officials wero entertained at luncheon by Mr. C. L. Lingo, traffic manager of the Inland Steel cempany, and later chaperoned by that official on a trip through the mill.

(iary' Warlike Appearance. The south part of Gary, known as the "patch" has the apearance of a garrison city. Hundreds of steel workers are busy in groups discussing the situation wliP.e scores have already donned their uniform. Many of the uniformed reservists have kept the photographers busy taking farewell pictures for their friends in Gary. Those who are in business have wound up their affairs and the executive committee declares that the Gary Baikans are able to effect a complete mobilization on twenty-four hours
Mayor Knotts, City Attorney Curtis and City Comptroller Melton are back from Indianapolis, where they went to see the state board of accounts about raising the pay of some Gary officials. While pay-raising problem is a legislative function they were assured that the board would look the other way if anything reasonable was done to provide for i1!" needs of the city. One reason that more pay is wanted for the c:ty engineer's office is that there is a demand that Mr. Melton quit
the comptroller post, which pays $1,800 a year, an dtake that of engineer, which pa- by $1,500. Mr. Melton used to be city engineer and v.,' an honest and efficient one. No contractors were able to hand him diamond rings, offer to pay the installments on his home, buy him an auto or offe rto send any of his relatives away to college to be educated at their expinse, as is the custom In some cities. More pay is also wanted for City Clerk Ralph Snyder, who gets $2,820, and for city treasurer.

the State Athletic Association before being- named as eligibles. "When the boys cf the high school
tried to get a team together, they had not the necessary timber. Those who were physieially qualified to play the game, were back in their studies. Those who were up in their studies were not physically qualified. Hence no team. However the boys made up a team on their own hook and started in to arrange for a game with Hammond. They went about it without my knowledge and of course having nothing to attest to their eligibility, could not be permitted to play as representing the East Chicago high school. They were told by the coach, as I understand it, that if they could get me to certify to their metiibership in the school, they could have a practice game as an independent team They brought their trouble to me. While I did not approve of their playing nor of their method of trying to get a game. It was none of my business whether they played or not on this basis, and I readily consented to sign their statement that they attended ciasses in the high school. I also wrote Principal MeKlroy explaining the boys unfitness stating that at the end of the month itkjsi of the biggest boys had failed in their work. The team being ineligible on several counts, Ir.aturally refused to have anything to di with it in my official capacity and declined to stand sponsor for their conduct during the game, which I had been asked to do.

cording to Captain McQu iiliken's understanding of the negotiations, crabbed the game by giving out the impression that the boys who wished to ulav were a lot of "rough-necks." Ham
mond therefore withdrew from the contest leaving the boys without a game for Wednesday night. Yesterday indignation reached fever heat and the boys assembled on the school grounds and decided to kick over the traces, carrving with them a number of sympathizers. Mr. Clark explained the situation as follows : "According to the rules of the high school it. is necessary for boys who wish to officially represent their school in football to have a certificate of consent from their parents, a certificate of physical fitness from a local physician besides maintaining a certain standing in their studies. Having attained these requirements they must be duly registered with Mr. Giles, the secretary of
; suit. Had T talhed to Mr. MeKlroy my ! answer would have the same as at first. for I could not assume responsibility in any way for the game, under the i ci rcu ms'' nee a."
When seen this morning Capt. McQulliken of the football team was asked whether the boys would seek a conference with Mr. Clark for mutual explanation. He said they had not decided, but they might. "Will you consider the reinstatement of the boys?" Mr. Clark was asked"Not today," was the reply. "However, if the boys show the right spiiit they may be re-instated later. They would have to come to me however in the right spirit. The boys have been loafing and they know It. and they are away behind in their studies. They are I believe chiefly out of sorts with themselves, and in this mood are unduly sensitive about being called down by their teachers."
