COL II D. WALSH IS
HONORED BY KNIGHTS OF C.
Knights of Columbus of Unity coun
cil last night honored their brother member. Colonel Redmond D. Walsh, who enjoys the distinction of being the- oldest K. of C. in the country. The celebration, which was a stag affair.
was given in the club rooms and
brought out a large membership. Lec
turer Harry Peakin had arranged an
enjoyable program, and while the old colonel, who is more than 92 years old,
was unable to be out, his extraordinary
personality was nevertheless felt in the eulogies and addresses that were de
livered in his honor.
The set program wound up with a
luncheon and smoker, and was interpersed with plenty of entertainment of a musical and recitative nature. Dis
trict Deputy J. J. O'Callahan of Kast Chicago read a letter of regrets and
appreciation from Col. Walsh. The mu
sical numbers were furnished by Chas. Tauschck. Chas. I. McKelvey, all of
whom met with much success as entertainers before other audiences, and whose work was very enjoyable lafci night. J. O'Brien and E. C. Goecket, a Chicago K. of C. team of entertainers, gave several numbers of music and dialogues and recitations and wera very much appreciated. The lighter entertainment was intermingled with a scholaylrmkp InUorlecmf wypcmhmhm scholarly eulogy on Col. Walsh by Martin McKenzie of East Chicago, and an interesting history on the life oj the veteran by J. J. Malloy. J. E. Fitzgerald by request gave a short extemporaneous address to which he addel from his inexhaustive fund of Irish stories told in his inimitable way. Considering hs extreme old age. Col. Walsh is enjoying good health, and is still seen quite regularly on Hammond's streets. He now makes his home at St. Margaret's hospital.

that a general scheme of building worklngmen's homes will be adopted. It has been demonstrated that for the rent that is charged for one of the cosnpany house apartments at the Standard that a good home can be maintained and finally owned by the tenant. The problem Is such an important one that a number of meetings are to be held to. work out the details of the problem. Mr. Betz Interest In the project assures its success and Hammond may come to have the reputation of Philadelphia in that it will be a city of homes, not tenements.

Road Asks for Injunction.
The Gary and Interurban Railroad company filed a suit today in the circuit court against Christian Timm and others in Jackson township. They ask for an injunction to prevent the defendants from cutting through the railroad property for the purpose of making a private road. The plaintiffs allege that the men are now at work cutting ditches, and that before the road is finished it will be necessary to fut through a 12-foot bank on each aide of the railroad. This, they aver, will endanger life and property, as the trains cannot be seen approaching by those who would use the crossing. T- H. Heard is attorney for the railroad. Valpo Vidette.
At the instigation of F. S. Betz. who has made a hobby of the study of the housing question, the Hammond manufacturer's association at last took steps to organize a $100,000 home building company ! The project is one of tremendous potentiality in view of ' the fact that the sole purpose of the company is to provide homes for the employes of Hammond manufacturing establishments; that is, for those of them who have demonstrated by their length of service and their thrift that they could pay for a home If given the opportunity. F. S. Betz said today: "This proposition is a go. There is now no uncertainty about it. We expect to make scores, if not hundreds, of Hammond
people self-respecting home owners to replace the fly-by-night home renters." Betz proposes, as he has frequently suggested before, that these homes be built on the unit plan. A young married man need not build more roomsthan he jieeds at first,' but he should own the property and he should build some kind of a house on it. Mr. Betz is agreed that these worklngmen's homes should only be built on lots that can be had for $350, with all improvements paid for. More expensive lots simply add to the cost of
holding the property, 'v.. The matter is to be taken up at a meeting to be held In the rooms of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce next Friday night and also the following Monday night. It is understood that such concerns as the Standard Steel Car Co. would much rather support a project of this kind than to build company houses. It is possibly that the capital stock of the company will be Increased and

The stranger was found wading in

Thinking that the water paddler was
intoxicated and didn't know what he was doing, the Samaritan waded out to
the stranger and brought him ashore.
He then walked him down the street
toward the county jail, but en route the man whipped out a vial of car
bolic acid out of his pocket and drank its contents. Inside of an Irour he was
dead.
A description of the doad man is as follows: "Light complexion, brown
hair and brown eyes, light gray over
coat with a suit of the same material.
white shirt with black and brown stripes, brown hat." A small Webster dictionary was found in one of the pockets. Believing that the man is from Gary the South Bend police today will send an officer to the steel city to make inquiries.
as 8 o'clock and by 9 the hall was packed to its capacity. Many came and looked into the pretty hall and left
without participating. Delightful music, composed of the Academy orchea.
tra, furnished the latest of popular songs. The grand march in which Chief of Police Peter Austgen "and
Mr?. Austgen led was the largest that has ever been seen in Hammond. Eight
hundred pretty programs were dis
tributed, but there were not near
enough to go around.
The dance broke up in the eariy

tainers. The committee worked in earnest to make the second annual ball
a success and their efforts were not In
vain. Those on the committee are:

The hall, which recently underwent a thorough overhauling, was gorgeously decorated, in fact. Da Pron has established a reputation for beautiful decorations. The color scheme was yellow and green with a profusion of apple blossoms. Those who saw it was unanimous in voting it the most beautiful hall ever opened to a Hammond assembly.

ANDERSON GETTING DOWN TO WEIGHT A large crowd of fight fans turned out to see Carl Anderson go through his daily training stunts at Chopin
hall yesterday afternoon, where, after skipping the rope( shadow boxing and going four stiff rounds with Eddie Clabby, his admirers are confident that he will give Tim a hard battle in their scheduled ten-round encounter at the Hammond theatre April 10. Those who saw Carl start his training work several months ago can hardly realize that he is the same person. By his consistent training under the care of Ted Jessup, Anderson has taken off 25 pounds, and Instead of being fat. and flabby, he Is down to bone and muscle. "I never felt In better shape in my life than I do right now."
said Anderson, "esterday afternoon. "In

much touted O'Neil one of the hardest
fights that he has ever had."
