MIHD ROYAL HOST SATURDAY

Country Club Entertains 600 Members of Indiana Society and Their Wives at Pleasing Affair Saturday Evening. All of them surrounded with a somber set of glooms, the men . watersoaked, the women with bedraggled plumage and finery, members of the Indiana Society of Chicago came from Cedar Lake last Saturday afternoon o Hammond and stepped from rain Into sunshine, from depression to delight. THEY WON'T FORGET IT. Never as long as there shall be an Indiana Society will its members ever forget the annual picnic and outing: of June 21. 1913. The first half of it was failure' at Cedar Lake: the second, success at the Hammond Country club. "This Is the first bright spot we have seen today," said Mrs. Guy McCabe as the first note of the noisy welcome greeted her ear. And so said they all. THE ACME OF HOSPITALITY. For typical hospitality commend, the Indiana society after this to Hammond. The Country club covered Itself with decorations and glory. The entertainment provided for the visitors was splendid In in every particular, and it was a tired but happy lot of club workers having the affair In charge who went to bed after the first cocks crowed on Sunday morning. HAMMOND SAVED THE DAY. Hammond not only saved the outing for the Indiana Society because of the flood of rain which enveloped the visi tors at every stage of the game from Chicago to the close of the brave attempt to be joyful In the dingy Monon park pavilion at the lake, but she simply am axed and stunned the ChicagoIndianapolis and South Bend folk who attended. The program given at the Hammond Country club sparkled with life and originality. There never was ft still moment, nothing lagged, no one fell down on the Job. CARRIED OtTT AS PLANNED. The day's program was carefully planned and brilliantly executed from start to finish, and o'nee again Hammond's beautiful Country club proved the best advertisement that the city ever bad. Ruth street, the pretty thoroughfare leading from Hohman street to the clubhouse, capped the climax. Spick and span. In best bib and tucker, decorated beautifully and illumined like Rome was when Nero fiddled, was declared by many a visitor to be the most beautiful thing they had aver seen. From the clubhouse to Harrison park, thousands of Chinese lanterns bad been strung, and red lire burned at every sho-t interval until it biased with light. It was truly a magnificent speotacle.

"Our own American rirl makes the best photograph in the irorkL" This is the statement of a proraisent Qeveland photographer who makes a specialty of photographing women. Splendid weather favored the comer stone laying ceremonies held in connection wtih St. Mary's new parochial school in East Chicago yesterday, and a tremendous crowd gathered to witness the exercises, and the parade which preceded the event. Seldom has a parade excited the Interest that yesterday's did. In many places along the line of march the curbs were lined with the large crowds attracked by the music of the bands and the spectacular features of the parade. A large number of priests from all over Lake county were on hand to participate In the ceremonies, and the entire parish turned out to assist in various ways In making the event an unqualified success. Representatives of various Catholic orders from throughout this region helped swell the throng that honored the occasion and It is estimated that fully fifteen hundred .. marchers were in line. The corner stone was duly placed by Father Henry Plaster, pastor of St Joseph's church. Hammond, who had

GALA EVENT CELEBRATED AT SCHERERV1LLE YESTERDAY

(Special to Thh Timbs.) Schererville, June 23. St. Michael's congregation here observed a gala event yesterday, and scores of people from the neighboring congregations also took part In the celebration. The occasion was the first mas by the newly ordained Rev. Charles A. Scholl, who la a native of Schererville. He was ordained by the Rt. Rev. Bishop H. J. Alerding at Ft. Wayne last Friday after having completed his course of study at St. Meinrad's several weeks ago. In the future Father Scholl will be affiliated with the Ft. Wayne diocese. He had already been appoointed as an assistant to the pastor of a large GAViT GIVES KNOCKOUT DECISION Sewer Remonstrance Killed and Big System Will Now Be Built. City Attorney Gavlt's opinion that those buying property on contract are not legal voters In remonstrance became public today. It is a knockout decision in favor of the pros and against the antls In the matter of a proposed deep sewer system. There Is absolutely no chance of it -being otherwise. Sixty per cent of those who signed the remonstrance against the sewer are property owners on contract. They will be eliminated from the counting. ' At least 10 per cent of the 1,260 names were thrown out for Irregularities, some being renters. As high a five names were signed for one piece of property, addresses were wrong and various other things were the matter. Work Nearly Over. Otto Ouelke, city clerk, went over the names on both petitions as carefully as possible, getting them in alphabetical order and weeding the extra names for one property. The comparison with the tax duplicates was the next step. It was then that the remonstrances were shown up. Attorney Gavlt's opinion followed. The ' building of a deep sewer system will soon begin. The city will owe much to the efforts of the Hammond newspapers. Chamber of Commerce, Messrs. Deming, Woods and Turner in particular. The manufacturers in Hammond .who 00 readily; aided in the

"Women of all nationalities and types come to ua to be photographed been delegated by the bishop to perform this important function. Father John Wakefer of tndiana Harbor preached a most able and eloquent sermon, his voice being plainly heard by most of those who stood at the outskirts of the crowd, and Father George Lauer, the local pastor, who had cahrge of the entire ecclestical feature of the event, managed everything to a nicety so there was not a hitch anywhere. Sergeant Mike Gorman, resplendent upon the police department's favorite charger, Zurt "did noble" as marshal of the day, and the bands played and the banners waved and the Knights of Columbus, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Polish societies, the Catholic Foresters, and the men and children of the parish marched to the intense satisfaction of everybody concerned. It was r notable event and no mistake. The Polish Societies of St. Stansllaus' church were the first to foregather. They met at the church and marched o St. Mary's where they joined the ranks of the hosts lined up there. Then all parded east to Forsyth ave'Contl"d on Page 7congregation in Ft. Wayne.

ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Lake County Bar Association this, year falls on Friday, July 4th, at Saturday July 6th, these dates being fixed by constitutional provision. At least fifteen members are necessary for a quorum, but In view of the fact that th Fourth is a holiday, and the following day no business to transact in the courthouse. It is doubtful whether a representative gathering can be brought together. President Dan Moran hopes that at least a quorum will appear either on the Friday or Saturday set to elect officers, so that he can escape the office which he now holds. He promised to appear at the courthouse In room one to open the meetings, and In order that every member may have early enough notice he caused signs to be placed in the court rooms and the clerk's office calling attention to the meeting.

The dead are. Mr. Grge Scott and his niece. Mrs. Willis K. Smith. Both have visited in East Chicago and are known to some of Mr. and Mrs. Llewellyn's East Chicago friends. Mr. and Mrs. Llewellyn left as soon as they could get ready after learning of the tragedy, for Riverside, the home of their relatives. Mr. Scott was a favorite uncle of Mrs. Llewllyn and was the only brother of her mother. Mr. Scott, who, as well as his niece. was prominent In Riverside, was a vet eran of the civil war.

E SHAMEFULLY Alderman Finds Big Box Unemptied for Ten Days and Calls Work of Street Cleaning Department Horrible Example. A city father who desires to remain "Councilman X" for a few days that he may watch developments from the ouU side of the ring has revealed another outrage against the commonwealth which ho claims Is perpetrated by the board of public works through it's agent, John A. Kuhlman, the Hammond street commissioner. He gives information to The Times as a last resort, having failed to gain anything by talking to Mr. Kuhlman. It Stlnka to Hl&-fc Heaven. For a horrible example of neglect and criminal carelessness "Councilman X" cites an experience of store keepers and families In a four-story building on State street. A large sanitary garbage box was installed there. It Is full and should be emptied at least twice a week if not oftener. It has not ben . emptied in ten days and the stench reaches to State street from the alley and into the Inner rooms of the highest flat in the building. Maggots swarm out of the box. A reporter who went with the alderman to see it was sickened at a distance of six or eight feet at 9 o'clock at night with a breeze to flavor It. Actors Are Sufferer. , The box is a few feet from the stage door of Hammond's most popular theatre where men and women performers spend a great deal of their time in close rooms. With the sun-breeding filth and foulness in and around that box It is little wonder that the show peoplet and especially the stage hands, are not made 111. They are between the devil and the deep sea not knowing whether to close the windows and suffocate or leave them open and endure the odor. Thirty Feet In Two Hour. "Councilman X" timed the work of the garbage man the List time he came around. He says that this workman began at the rear of a saloon next to the Nickel Plate tracks at 1 o'clock. The garbage was In a heap on the ground and not in a box as required by law. It took but a minute for the garbage man to scoop In into his wagon, but It was 3:15 before he arrived at the big box (exhibit "A"). The greater part of the two hours and a quarter was spent in the saloon, according to "Councilman X." Knhlman a I4ttle Saasy. "Kuhlman was notified by telephone," said the alderman, "and he talked back to me in a way I won't repeat. I called John I Rohde and told him. I consider It Kuhlman's business to see that the work Is done. Kuhlman said, "I am busy In Indiana Harbor and East Chicago most of the time." I don't know what he is doing over there to earn his salary as street commissioner in Hammond." His Opinion of the Board. "We can get up in the council meeting and talk our heads off. but it doesn't do any good. The board goes ahead and does what it wants to. I think it a shame to have alleys In the condition of this one. right in the heart of town, near the depots, theatres and stores. I don't want you to mention my name yet, but think it would be a good thing for you to tell about this one box and let the people know what they are getting for their money. "I know that the only ones around here that get service from the alley cleaners are those who tip the garbage man. Next door to me the garbage man will go down Into the basement and clean up. but believe me he gets paid for it." Though the alderman did not say it the fact remains that the particular j garbage box he speaks or is not tne only one in Hammond neglected. All J over the city alleys are abominable, unsanitary and unsightly. j Plenty of Bands. tsrass nana; were neara in every part of Hammond yesterday. Kinder grove had the Pleasure club of Whit ing, Sharpshooter's park a well attended picnic. Barnie Young and his band played at the corner of Sibley and Hohman before starting for Valparaiso, where they were tngaged for the day. A religious celebration at St. Mary's church in East Hammond called out two. foreign bands which rendered very good martial music i while parading the town. Outing at Park. According to the last Issue of the Lake County Medical Society bulletin, arrangements have been made to hold their annual summer outing on the second Thursday of August at the Lake Front park. The committee in charge, of the arrangement are planning a number of Interesting features for their years outing and will undoubtedly be a more enjoyable function than in previous years.

FARMERS TICKLED

WITH GARY Much Benefit Expected to Accrue to Magic Steel City as the Result of the Visit of 1,500 Pleased Farmers to the City. Much benefit will accrue to Gary as a result of the Farmers' day celebration it had on Saturday when 1500 Lake county farmers came to town. This is the opinion of Captain H. S. Norton, the steel corporation executive, who is at the head of the Gary Commercial club. Scores of the visitors, although living near the city, never say [saw] it until Saturday. And they were an amazed lot, these farmers. Many thought that one would need an interpreter, believing that very few people spoke English. Farmers Were Delighted. The farmers were especially delighted with the steel mills and the business blocks along Broadway. That many of them will now come to the city to trade is the belief of the merchants. Real estate men are of the opinion that many of the farmers will invest either in Gary mortgages or erect buildings. The celebration was a success in every way and Captain Norton, the director and originator of it, was highly complimented on its success. ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ BULLETINS Cincinnati, Ohio, June 23. —At a meeting of 3,000 striking garment workers the men and women were ordered back to work by their leaders and advised to pay no heed to I.
