ABILITY

In addition to the discussions on , track elevation for Hammond and the uh of the county poor house to harbor delinquents pending their finad disposition, many other matters of interest came up before the Chamber of Commerce at its general meeting last night. Judge V. S. Reiter presided as president and announced his nominating committee of five who are to nominate twenty-four candidates to be voted on, n the second Tuesday in April, for the ffices of president, vice president, Secretary and treasurer, and eight members of the board of directors, Th -jainlaatlnsr committee is composed of Messrs. J. T. Clark. W. F. Bridge, P. J. Lyons, 3. E. Swaim and Frank Hammond. They are to make their nominations within ten days, and will post them In the club roooms. An Informal report from the secretary showed that the finances of the

organization are in good shape, and that In this regard the Chamber of Commerce has much to be proud of

when H Is taken into consideration that the club has a tangible asset worth $16,000 which lies in its splendid

club rooms. More Social Intercom" Ursrcd.

Judge Becker urged a more ferouent use of the club rooms by the members.

and in order to promote good fellow

ship among members Dr. J. T. Clark was appointed to promote various forms of amusements at the headquarters, Including the use of the card tables. The advantages of more social Intercourse among the members were also emphasized by Judge Reiter, who said that the board of directors is now trying- to work out a plan by which the members can be served with a noon day luncheon in the club rooms. The meeting did not adjourn without hearing a number of complaints about glaring-abuses which are dally occurrences and which are injurious to the whole community. The first of these was made by John Glennon, proprietor of the Hotel Majestic, who said that

traveling men are complaining continuously about the holdup rates that some expressmen charge in Hammond for the handling of trunks, and in support of his charges cited, an Instance of recent date In which an expressman had charged his victim $1.50, and that when the traveling man complained to the police, his oppressor returned half of the sum. James Bellby called attention to the street car traffic delays due to blocked

Johnson Informed the Hammond po

lice that while walking east along

the Michigan Central tracks early last

evening on his way from calumet Parte ;

to Hammond, he was attacked by two

highwaymen and robbed of a wallet

containing $340 in currency. Johnson

put up a desperate struggle and In the

combat succeeded in getting one of the

thug's ears between his teeth, nearly chewing it off.

Nearly exhausted from his experience

which occurred about four blocks west

of the Hammond brewery, on the Mich

Hammond, Johnson staggered Into the

Hammond Central police station and told of his encounter with the two thugs.

Attacked by Two. Johnson, who is employed as an or

ganizer among the railroad men of the

Calumet region, had been at Calumet Park on business. Having no other

way to get out of the railroad junction, he started to walk down the Michigan Central tracks towards Hammond.

Nothing unusual transpired until he

had passed the Burnham road.

Without warning one of the two

thugs pounced upon him. while his pal went through his clothing. Johnson

kicked, scratched and put up a desperate battle. Throwing his head back he caught the thug's ear between his

teeth. His jaws came together with

vice like pressure and soon brought

cries from the bandit.

"Let go of my ear," yelled the thug. I will if you will give me back my

money. said Johnson. The second

thus then took active part in the en

counter, striking Johnson in the face several times with his fist, forcing the

victim to let go of the mangled ear.

Return the Watch.

The thug still held Johnson while

his pal took his watch. "Don't take

that, too,' said Johnson, and started

to struggle. "Oh! give him his watch.

said the tftug, "he has been a pretty

good fellow at that." With these words the timepiece was handed ba-lc

their escape in the darkness.

The holdup occurred about 7 o'clock,

that Edna Clark threatened to blow her brains out and that she feared the defendant would do her bodily harm.

and decollette gowns, will be seen calicos and the plain house dress. It

will be a dance of simplicity, but will carry with It a car load of merriment. Although invitations will be sent out

discussion again to track elevation.

Secretary Brusel" said he had taken

these complaints up repeatedly with

all the railroad companies involved.

The meeting was well attended con

one of the gratifying features of It

was the good representation of city of

ficials who are trying to keep In touch

with the matters and sentiment of vit

Righteous forces of Hammond are

opening up a campaign aganist white

infamous traffickers who may be lurk

This is the slogan under which the forces' are being marshaled and from

now on it may be expected that vigor

ous and persistent war will be waged.

until no man will dare to try to ply

his wicked trada in or around Ham-! mond. I Quiet preparations have been making for some time. The first public step is to be taken next Thursday night. Dr. W. E. Hopkins of the Chicago Midnight Mission will deliver an illustrated lecture at the Hammond Baptist church on "Black Traffic In White Girls." The pictures reveal the sources

from which the traffic recruits is victims, the methods they employ to lure young girls to destruction, and the "Red Mills" whre the souls of thousandsof boys and girls are ground to death every year. There is nothing indecent about this presentation; it is for both men and women, but boys and girls under 18 years will not be admitted unless ac

companied by an adult. This is not an

entertainment but a serious revelation, designed to arouse public sentiment.

its annual stockholders' meeting two weeks ago, the Home Building Loan & Havings association of Hammond has increased its capital stock from $1,000,-

000 to $2,000,000. The new articles of Incorporation were filed yesterday with

Secretary of State O'Brien. The growth of the home institution has been so marked during the year that the step was necessary.

BANQUET . TONIGHT Singing, orchestral music, toasts and

speeches and an elaborate spread are on the program for the Unity Council Knights of Columbus banquet which will be served at eight o'clock at the Masonic Temple in Hammond this evening, to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the founding of Unity Council. Arrangements have been made to serve, in the neighborhood of five hundred guests, among whom will be members who rank high in the order, both in Indiana and Illinois. Much to the disappointment of the arrangement committee a telegram was received from Governor Dunne of Illinois telling of his regret because he is .unable to accept the invitation which was extended him some time ago. The deadlock of the Illinois legislature makes it impossible to leave, as developments are arising hourly which take up all his time. He withheld his answer until this morning. There is good hope however that Lieutenant Governor O'Neil of Indianapolis will be able to get away for a few hours. Unless something very important happens to arise in the Indiana legislature, he hopes to be here, together with a number of other well known Indianlans. Past Grand Knight of Unity Councllcil J. W. O'Brien will preside as toast master. While there is no admission charge, the invitations are restricted to the members and their ladies.
