VOL. yil., NO. 297. When E. S. Emerine, former cashier of the Citizens' German National Bank and later of the American Savings and Trust company of Hammond resigned from the latter Institution several weeks ago, and announced that he had the organization of a new enterprise In mind, there was considerable speculation among his friends and acquaintances as to what the nature of It would be. Having made a success as a financier it was taken for granted that his new undertaking would be something closely allied to the banking busines, and these conclusions proved to be correct. Filed Next Week. Incorporation papers are to be filed this week or early next week at Indianapolis for the incorporation of the Bankers' Rea-lisation Company, with a capital stock of $100,000. "Who the officers and the members of the board of directors will be has not yet been determined. Contrary to the general banking policy of concentrating the capital stock in comparatively few hands, the new organization will attempt to spread the stock among 2,500 If possible. The officers and board of directors are to be chosen from these and the official personnel is to consist of Hammond men. The company will have its headquarters on the third floor of the Hammond building In suite 308. . z, REMIND UNION TICKET Commitees representing the democratic and progressive parties of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, with a mild sprinkling of disgruntled republicans, met night before last In Eaat Chicago and decided to recommend to their several parties, a fusion ticket to oppose the straight republican ticket and any others that may be placed In the field. There were present nine progressives two republicans and ten domocrats and it was decided by a vote of 11 to 10 to nominate the candidates by delegate convention .instead of by primaries. In this it is presumed that the democrats stood pat and the progressives and republicans united, to put over this measure. If the delegate plan Is ap proved by the parties represented, it is proposed to name one delegate each from each of the twenty precincts of the Twin Cities from the progressives. democrats and disgruntled republicans to make up the convention. This will make a convention of sixty delegates The next meeting of tha committees will be held at Schreibers Hall, Indi ana Harbor next Tuesday. Were Discharged. In the case of the state of Indiana vs. Mike Paloney, Joe Hlnk, John Gres zko and Steve Evans, who were arrested by Constable Phelps on a charge of rioting, three of the defendants were discharged in Judge Prest's court last night and Hink was found guilty and fined $1 and costs. WHY ARB TOD NOT A TIMES READER T SLATED FOR GOOD JOB IN TREASURY Byron Nswton. ByTon Newton, the ex-newspaper man who has been acting as secretary to William G. McAdoo. secretary of the treasury, is named as a very probable successor to Assistant Secretary Sherman Allen, a holdover In the treasury department from the last administration. Allen was also a newspaper man and was appointed by President Taft after he had served for some time as an assistant tecretanr at the executiffts oSlce.

In Its prospectus the company states that it has formed connections with eastern financial institutions whose money to the extent of many thousands of dollars is to be brought into the city in exchange for - the mortgages and bonds on Hammond property. In this way the company will be a new source for the Investor who would Improve his property or enlarge his business. It will handle real estate in all the business that most state banks aim to do, but instead of drawing its money from depositors, will work through it eastern connections. A Commercial C learing House. It aims to be. a commercial clearing house and will cater especially to such

assets which can be readily liquidated and converted, jjoping in this way to make them yield tho. maximum return. Other institutions have made a big success of this form of financiering especially in the east, and Mr. Emerine is confident that he can make a success of the new concern. As cashier of two of the popular banks in the city, Mr. Emerine had come in contact with a large clientele, which has absolute confidence In his business acumen and shrewdness. which he demonstrated time and again in the sharp conflicts of business competition with older heads. That he make a success of the Bankers' Realization company is taken for granted. OUT OF BERTH Valparaiso Man Suffers In jury in Unusual Accident When Monon Curves Halt Trip to Europe and Bring Him Disaster. Dr. F. W. Mitchell of Valparaiso, who boarded a Monon train at Hammond last Thursday night for the races at Indianapolis on the following, met with a peculiar accident enrouta which prevented him from seeing the races or continuing the European trip which he had planned for professional studies abroad. He returned to Valparaiso yesterday after having been in the care of a specialist for several days. The doctor was on a Monon train which left Hammond at 11:55 p. m. and occupied an upper berth in one of the sleepers. In the early morning, when attempting to alight from the berth. the train gave a sudden lurch as it rounded one of the short curves for which the Monon is noted, throwing him violently to the floor of the car, breaking his left wrist, bruising his head severely, and causing other minor injuries. Dr. Mitchell returned to Chicago Friday and remainder thre In the care of a specialist until this morning. He thought for a day or two that he would be compelled to give up his European trip, but now expects to be in New York city In time to sail on the 10th Inst, as at first scheduled. His only bother now is the fear that his Injury may not improve rapidly enough for him to take the special course in his profession in Europe, for which he has already arranged. His brother, of Marietta, O., will accompany him on the trip. ' HAMMOND MAN BACK .FROM CAPITOL C. B. Stiver's Job Depends Entirely on Pete Kruyer of South Bend. C. B. Stiver of May street, Hammond who is slated for one o fthe appointive offices for the sixth revenue district is still awaiting word from Washington us to just what he may expect. He Is in line for the biggest office In the district, provided Kruyer of South" Bend who has the first refusal of it, turns it down. Aside from ML Stiver was assured In Washington when he Interviewed Senavr Shivery last week, he can have anything else he desires, in the way of a deputyship or a chief clerkship. Mr. Stiver left for the capital city a week ago yesterday and returned last Saturday, but still without any definite knowledge about the future. Tou will say that a La Vendor clgai cannot be beat.

City Fathers Haggle Over City Business and Alderman John Sturm Relieves Himself in a Most Emphatic Sort of Way. A member of the Hammond common council berated well at last night's synod of the brethren while on his feet in the midst of the mob and facing the mayor, he said: "O, hell." in a dejected bort of way. resigning himself to the will of the majority that the meVting be devoted to squabbles and scraps, the renewing of old animosities and the passing of the lie. That single profane utterance., by A1ffeTman John Sfurnr'of the "Tefithward turned the tide. The humorous vein of the council opened wide, and while aldermen were convulsed with laughter, carried away the bad blood that had corrupted thel meeting., From melodrama to burlesque is a long cryf but that Is what Sturm accomplished. Even a serious deadlock in the last of the ninth was treated in a sportive manner, councilmen snickering and sorting as one of their number would flop. Yet beneath the surface of fun and frolic which marked the last half of the evening a hard game of politics was being played. By parley and exchange important matters were settled one by one until a total business of $13,685 had been done by the passing of ordinances, ranging from a grand increase in the salaries of police and firemen to the erection of a rain shed at Douglas park. And by profuse sweating and heated speechmaking each alderman did his best by his constituents, though . losing much by compromise. North Side Way Ahead.
