KNOTTY PROBLEM

TO SOLVE

(Conirn4 from Pax I S

Large orders are anticipated by the Gary works o fthe American Bridge company as a result of the flood and some of them have started to pour in. One R. R. Needs 10O Bridges. One railroad alone will require 100 new bridges, large and small, to replace those destroyed by the flood. The fact that most of the Ohio valley steel plants are closed in part owing to the flood and the inability of the railroads to extend them service has caused an extra rush at the Gary steel works of the Illinois Steel company where orders are now nearly a year behind. Property loss to iron and steel works by the flood is not heavy yet wnen compared with the loss of business. At Sharon, Pa., and Youngstown, Ohio, a number of open hearth furnaces which were hot when the water reached them are serioulsy damaged. A heavy loss, which will be accumulating for many

days, is in the dislocation of railroad operation over a wide area. The marged effects of the flood will require time for their full development. The steel companies will not need more pig iron because of it, since their steel output is reduced more than that of their blast furnaces. The closing of coke ovens due to the Inability of railroads to make full coke shipments may .still limit pig iron output in some districts, counteracting some of the weakness generally evident in that product. So far as foundry iron is concerned the flood has aparently cut down output more than it has reduced the consumption.

this or that candidate and we have listened to their arguments. We will give everybody a hearing." "Have you and Mr. Hutton come to an agreement in the matter?" Brown was asked. "We have not," was the reply. "We have talked the 'matter over in a general way but at no time have we got down to cases."' "Does it look as though the matter would be put up to Auditor Johnson as is provided by the law when two commissioners fail to agree on the selecting of the third?" "Well," said Brown, "we will ask Mr. Johnson's advice in the matter, ft may be that he wilt have to be called in to settle the question for us. It is a very knotty problem." GARY DELEGATIONS BCSY. Crown Point is alive with contestingdelegations who are promoting the stock of this or that candidate. John Kirk of Gary apeared before tha commissioners and advocated the appointment of J. J. Kelly. In view of the fact that Kirk was

strongly urged to take the place himself his advocacy of the candidacy of Kelly is expected to boost the Gary real estate dealer's stock. Gallagher of Gary awas before the board promoting the candidacy of H. C. Francis, the republican city chairman. Then' there were Vater delegations from Whiting and friends of Newman of Hammond, CConnell of Indiana Harbor and the rest of the crowd. The strongest candidates to date is

as follows: ... Gary. Herbert C Francis, township chairman. J. J. Kelley, real estate dealer. W. P. Patterson, real estate dealer. Eut Chicago. Mose Specter, the postmaster of East Chicago. Thomas O'Connell, a leading Indiana

(Foreword) WHEN BUSINESS IS A CALLING. To be the instrumentality by which fellow beings may attain to the independence, the self respect, the manliness, the happiness and the contentment that comes from owning a home; comes nearer beimr calling than a business. It is therefore with the greatest enthusiasm, and a full sense of its responsibility, that the Hammond & Suburban Realty Co. presents the Kenwood Addition'for the consideration of the discriminating homeseeker. Kenwood is the most progressive Step yet taken in this vicinity in the direction of providing ah ideal home site at a moderate cost on easy terms, thus placing a firstclass property within the reach of most everybody. In the series of articles which follows, we explain some of the features of the new addition which we believe make Kenwood the most desirable place of residence in Hammond. For our mutual benefit Ave suggest a careful perusal of the entire series. No.l THE SETTING FOR A HOME. , . ' - You have seen a little inexpensive home, half hidden in a nest of bushes in a "fairy garden spot", as the Poet Riley says, that seemed more beautiful to you than the great $30,000 mansion that sits stiff and "aching with formality in the center of a small close cropped lawn. The small house had the proper setting, the large house did not. There is a difference between a home and a place to live. Most of the houses in Hammond are simply places to live. Too little attention is paid to landscape gardening. Even though a person were disposed to beautify his yard by planting trees and shrubs the prevailing ignorance of the subject of landscape gardening would be likely to result in a botch of the job and aeonsequent loss of time and money. The Kenwood addition is to be Hammond's first garden city. It has been laid out by landscape artists of great renown. Not only have they provided a general scheme of planting, but they wijl draft a separate plan to be presented free of charge with every sale of lots. Every home that is built in Kenwood will have its own setting of foliage designed to accord with the architecture of the house. The Chicago architectural firm of Cole & Meinersman has been employed to furnish a landscape gradening plan to all who build in this ideal subdivision. Not only is each home given an attractive setting, but by having the same artist make the landscape gardening plans for every homesite in the subdivison, a certain

uniformity m planting is assured. ' s Thus the "same kind of trees will be planted and they will be in orderly rows, a certain distance from the street. The result will be so remarkably beautiful that values in Kenwood are sure to increase. Roscoe E. Woods, President. Frank Hammond, Secretary. Office Hammond Savings and Trust Company. Phone 62.

Mike Fensaki of Indiana Harbor, cut and bleeding, applied to the Indiana Harbor police Saturday night for protection from four assailants who a short while before had lain in wait for him outside a saloon at One Hundred and Thirty-sixth and Beech streets and

pounced upon him, beating him over ;

the head with bottles, and Inflicting some ugly gashes on his forehead and scalp. Immediately he swore out affidavits against the four men, none fit whose names he knew. One arrest has been made in the case, and the police expect by descriptions

! furnished them by the victim of the as- '. aault to have the other three before the

Woznak and ; all parties to the trouble are Russians , and the prisoner refused to give an in- j 'formation aa to who were his accom-, ' plices In the crime. ! The men had quarreled earlier in the '.evening over a game of pool. The fonr against who the affidavits were filed, 'left the saloon where the trouble occurred, while Fensaki remained. They lay low until Fensaki emerged and In the darkness made a united attack on

him. Dr. Sauer attended the injured ",

r.lOOSE ELEGIBLE FOR ' RELEASE HI HAY Gary's ex-City Clerk Will Probably Be Free Man ' Then.

During the month of May Ex-City Clerk Harry G. Moose of Gary, now serving time at Michigan City stata prison, will be eligible to parole and probably will be released as his behavior has been good. Moose was star witness in the Dean bribery cases. He disappeared. Last November he appeared at Crown Point and made a confession declaring that Mayor Knotts and Bill Cain, the Gary contractor, had bribed him to leave the Jurisdiction of the state while a state witness. Moose pleaded guilty to the charge of compounding a felony and in the circuit court was sentenced. The penalty is from months to 6 years. No action has been taken as yet In regard to Moose's charges against Cain and Knotts and whether any new angles will develop when Moose is released next month hasn't been given out.
