WIGHT WITH DITCHED TAXI
S)-tra Ucrrant Efncieacy. Two separate divisions are equipped, with both dispatchers located at Fort Wayne, Ind. One circuit extends eastward to Belleyue, 0.. a distance of about 125 'miles, and the other West of Stony island, 111., from Fort Wayne, a dts-t tance of about 145 mile;, making a to tal of 270 miles thus covered. The manv advantagen accruing from
"the use of the telephone instead of the telegraph for the dispatclng of trains, alone were responsible for Its adoption.
The telephone, in tne nrst piace, is quicker. It has Ween observed that the . ring of the bell will insure a prompt ! answer, and for this purpose large, socalled "extension" bells are used, which can be heard several hundred feet , away. In the four years that the tele
phone has been, used for dispatching, not a railroad accident has been laid to its door, so that it may be said to be I a saf as 'if not safer than, the tele
graph. Furthermore, it has been made possible to increase the length of a division handled by on dispatcher by as much as fiO per cent. : FINDS FOR DEFENDANT

men Just before they entered dreamland at a o'clock this morning. They had Just returned from an 'outing" which lasted the greater part of the night, and which was spent mainly beside a dreary country road with their taxi Jn the ditch.

ior the beauties of nature at tnis time.
Last night was one of the c oldest
nights- of the present winter, and a fireside or warm bed would have been
a more pleasant sight than the moonlight scene. However, they had some
thing to be thankful for. None of them was injured.
Another Auto ta the Rescue. From 10:30 last night until about 3 o'clock this morning the stalled passengers hung around the machine, tramping the streets as well as this could be
done on the Blippery pavement, ana assisting as much as they could to get the machine out. The driver had telephoned to Hammond for another machine, which came equipped with the wheel chains, and in the meantime some of tho town people, among, them Peter Stark with his team of horses
land Henry-Niebllng gave every asslstance possible to right the machine.
When it was finally gotten out, it was
found that the steering gear had neen injured, and that it was doubly unsafe
to ride in it now. It was nearly t o'clock this morning when the rescue auto arrived In Hammond.
We were treated so nicely at St.
John last night, and we had such a
good time," said Captain Hanlon this morniner. "that we were repaid in ad
vance for our trouble, buf I know some
body who will hit the hay early.
Mr. Lauerman acted as installing oi-

position at the function last night.
Judge Lawrence Becker, sitting In superior court room No. 2, last Saturday noon found in favor of the defendant in the case of the Croatlon. Roman

MARTIN BAREL
LOSES WALLET
Martin Barel, 909 Indiana boulevard. Whiting, Ind., reported the loss of a wallet to the Hammond police this morning which contained a sum of $43. He was unable to describe Just where or how he lost the money and the police are well aware of the fact that they will have a hard task in finding it.
Thomas Thompson of Hammond who hail th misfortune to lose a pocket-
book containing ?1?5 last week is still searching for the lucky finder, but has little hopes of ever recovering his money.

for selling eggs which are alleged to have been storage eggs but which were not marked as such, contrary to the
laws of the state.

There had been the lmpressioi amcr.g

colder than for 1812. This is erroneous
however, judging by the mean temperature for the entire month of both years, which was 59 degrees for 1911 and fifty-
five during 1912. jThe total rainfall for 1912 was according to Mr. Boyd's figures, S2 lncht-5. Forty-two and six tenths lnche3 was the total snow fall. The wettest month was in May with 4.74 inches precipitation. ' The dryest was January with .85 in. precipitation. The first snow of the season fell on Nov. 1. The last snow in the spring was on April 7.

At the Police Station.
Following the holidays the police are experiencing the unusual quiet spell.
which is evidently every year at this
time. Few arrests are being made, and
with the exception of three drunks.
nothing of . importance occurred over Saturday and Sunday night. The hobos
still continue to make the Central station their stop over night, a total of twelve being lodged last evening. Al
though it has been unusually quiet ior th nast two weeks, the department is
prepared for a crime wave at most any
time.
Considerable sickness has been reported among the officers and the:, families during the past month, three m.mhpr of the deDartment beinir off
duty last week, officers Carlson and Homrich, who were laid up for severof several days, reported for work this morning. Officer Malo, "who is stationed at State and llohman, was forced to go home today on account of a severe cold. Last week Desk Sergeant Oscar Borchert also suffered a. slight
attack of the la grippe, but having his annual report to get out, was forced to
work.
Peter Bennett, one of Hammond's
well-known characters, came to the
Central station last night and asked to
be lodged in the hobo room lor tne
night. Claiming that he was unable
to work this time of the year, sick ana penniless, he requested that they sena
him to the poor farm. "Peter," as h
is known, is 62 years oia, ana wnen
working is a skilled brick layer. He Is well known to the officers at the sta
tion as he has been arrestea innumer
able times on a charge of drunkenness. Arrangements are being made to send him to the poor farm, as his condition is very feeble. x

For more than a week now. trains
on the Nickel Plate railroad have been
dispatched by telephone and J. M.
Ridenour, the Hammond operator, finds
that ft work verv well. Hammond is
part' of the Fort Wayne-Stony Island
division. The type of equipment installed makes use of the Western Electric tele
phone apparatus, which has become tn standard for over 90 per cent of the telephone-using railroads in theTTnited States. The "selector,"" which is
used for signalling, is an instrument, as its name implies, so designed that when properly adjusted It wlllrespond only to certain electrical signals or impulses which are regulated by the train dispatcher. The latter can, therefore, signal any one of the way stations at which, these selectors are located without signalling any of the others on the
