THE TIMES.

FEATURES OF NEW

The first digest of the new Indiana Housing law has been prepared for The Times. It is worth clipping and being preserved. The dixest follows: Thi law applies to tenement houses only, a tenement house is any building or portion of building occupied by two or more families. STAIRS AND PUBLIC HALLS. All stairs and public halls shall be at least 3 ft.. 6 In., wide In the clear. No entrance hall shall be less than i ft-. 6 in., In the clear. TORCHES. Porches and stairways shall be con sldered as part of the building and shall not extend onto the yard space. SKYLIGHTS. Skylights shall not be placed over courts, all skylights shall be ventilated. WINDOWS. Each room including bath room shall have window area equal to one-seventh of the superficial floor area of the room. ROOMS. Each apartment shall have at least one room containing not less than 150 square feet of floor area, and each other room shall contain at least 100 square feet of floor area. CEILINGS. No ceiling shall be less than nine ft. high. CLOSETS UNDER STAIRS. No closets under stairways shall be FREYMAN HANDLINGPETITION fCeattnuia from Pare LI than one "to skin the cat," the Interests that wanted Johnson street closed came before the city council and asked fer a permit to lay a spur railroad to accommodate the P. S. Bets company while the latter was erecting a big new building. The request at the time was reasonable, especially since the continuance of the spur was to depend on continued permission of the city authorities. At the same time everybody. Including the F, S. Beta company, knew that It would be much easier to put the tracks down in the public highway than to take them up again. The axiom that possession is nine-tenths in the Ja-w was expected to work here, and t Is working. The next move on the part of the interests was to appear before the city council and ask for permission to erect a fence across John son street to protect the Bet factory against loafers, and the people who Insisted on traveling the Johnson Street route using the old bridge over the river again3t their own folly. It was an innocent looking request at first blush, but It has never seen tho light of day since it was placed into the hands of a council committee for Investigation. 'Will Alwaya Serve a Pnblie Purpose, Johnson street belongs to the people, la the argument of the people on the north side. They admit that the street as a public highway were useless to them if they were prohibited from using the old Michigan Central bridge; they agree that It would be costly to build a viaduct for vehicles to span the, river and the railroads. Two thousand persons travel over that bridge dally. Supposing, they argue, that a viaduct Is too expensive or that the use of the railroad bridges were de nied, Johnson street would still serve its purpose as a public highway as a pedestrian's bridge could be built, over the river at this point at small cost. There are other reasons for prevent ing the vacating of the street, for so long as it exists as such there Is prospect of some lnterurban or street car line using it, or It may possibly serve as a thoroughfare leading to some fu ture river dockage, or If vacated for trafflo purpose It could be converted THE LATEST FASHION MOTE

HOUSING LAIN GIVEN

constructed unless Its four walls and ceiling shall be fire-proof, otherwise the space shall be left entirely open and clean and free from incumbrance. COURTS. All courts for two story buildings shall be not less than 10x20 ft., for one and two story buildings, 12x24 ft. for three story buildings, 14x28 ft. for four stories and shall increase two ft. for each additional story. A court located on the lot line may have one-half the above widths providing that a written easement is obtained from the adjoin ing property owner to keep same size court on his property. A fire-proof shaft. 5 ft. wide and 7 ft. high shall extend from the front of the building and from the rear of the building to the bottom of the courts and left open at each end and to have iron gates. BASEMENT FLATS. Basement of fiats shall have 9 ft ceilings in the clear ,the ceilings shall be at least 4 ft., 6 in. above finished grade. BIDE YARDS. AH side yards shall be at least four feet in width. PERCENTAGE FOR BUILDING. Buildings on interior lots shall not cover more than 65 per-centum, for corner lots not morethan 85 per-cent um, for corner lotsw'th three streets not more man s per-centum. into a playground or a city storage yard. So the argument of the opposing Interests that Johnson street serves no purpose, anyhow, falls flat for any one of a dozen reasons. Erecting a fence across the highway would add the other tenth to the law tax the possession, and any effort in the future, open or under cover, is bound to fail, for the north side peo pie are alive to their interests in the matter. As a coniwctlrifr link with the north sise, the closing of the street would affect the people on the south side of the river as much as those on the north side. About People Some Chats With Folks On Things of Interest Simon Mundo, the East Hammond sa loonkeeper. "King of the Italians." de nies tne title and spurns the crown, Like Caesar, he is ambitious, but not to the extent of monarchy. Mundo is an American and proud of It, and to prove to you that he la an American he will tell you all about rings, poll tlcians, the Cubs, parties, graft, ward heelers and Abe Lincoln. The latte is his Ideal. In Mundo's throne room beg pardon ,'er rather, forum, is to be found a1 picture of our martyred president. While acting as council, ambassador, banker, foreign correspondent and political guide to his people, Mundo will wait, upon you, providing the biggest schooner of beer in East Hammond. An Interview? Moat assuredly. "Are you the king of Little Italy, Mr. Mundo?" you ask. "King? No, no, no. Me no king. I am an Emere-eane, Eipere-cane, Demo crat. What you wanta know? Pol-e-tics? "Wella, I am for the Jedge yess, Jedge McMayhon, and I think Mester Bryan get too much a money, no work for country. I thinks Teddle is what you call a no good. "Thes-a town needa new administration. I see things outa here that no one elsa does. The pollcemens go among the people and work for Doctor Doctor Howatt that's the name, Howatt. Now, if X was a mayor I would get another pollcemans. "We wanta new administration, don't we?" I tella my pee-ple to rememfier that they are Emere-canes, and they vote the way they think is right. What's that? No, no, no; I Jest tella them who I thenk is the best mens. They vote the way they damna please." Despite his denial, Simon Mundo controls the vote of his people. He is an evangel of the gospel of honest government, and his bright eyes snay defiance at rings or clicques. And don't you underestimate him. He knows the Ins and outs of Hammond politics better than many another. The things he will pore into your ears make your hair stand, and at that Mundo is not a socialist Just a Wilson democrat. WHERE IS THE CITYWATCHDOG? Alderman John Kane Must Enter Name In Political Race By Monday. Venerable John Kane alderman at large, is missing. For nearly a month he has been ab sent from the city and though traced to Indianapolis his whereabouts at the present is not known. Not even Mrs. Kane can enlighten anxious voters as to her husband's temporary address or his Intentions in the coming election. Is Alderman John Kane, "the watch dog of the council," returning soon? If he does not there will be no op-' portunity tor mm to enter his name in the democratic primaries for Alderman at large, his Job for twelve years. Is the council to lose Kan's valuable services? That he is indespensible for the way In which he fights the

spending of every dollar and argues on all ordinances is the opinion of many.

He lets -the people know what the council is doing," they say. Perhaps Kane is playing a clever lit tle game by which he plans to run independent and to escape payment of the primary assessment dues. Tut, tut. tut! Such idle gossip. After years of faithful service to the Democratic party would Alderman Kane decide that he could be of more service to the people independent of that party? Well It can at least be said that It would be characteristic of Mr. Kane. HAMMOND BOY IS MAKING GOOD Elston Elliott Not Long Ago In High School Has Splendid Job. Elston Elliott, of the Hammond high school and Wabash' college, is staying at the home of his father, Francis M. Elliott, 90 Ogden street, this week while attending the market of furniture men in Chicago each day. He is a salesman for the McDonal Cabinet Company of Frankfort, Ind. Friends say of Klliott that he rose from a $60 a month job at the McDonal plant to a $3,500 a year position in less than three years. He will be placed on commission this fall with a fair chance of making $5,000 a year. Elston is engaged to be marred. A Conquering Crowd. One of the old tribe of which Elliott was a chief during his high school days grew reminiscent today and expressed profound wonder that any of them ever got through college without being shot by the militia. He reviewed the old crowd and found that all had turned out properous or at least are now in line for prosperity and that nearly all are professtinal men. "With Spot Blair, Belman, Elliott, Murray and a few more giants we cleaned up the state in athletics," he said, "and left behind us a scene of devastation like Napoleon was in the habit of having in his wake. If I remember right the chief of police in this city gave orders to have us shot on sight. Those were the good old days." SIMPLEX FORCE PICNICKS AT HUDSON LAKE A somewhat peevish office boy was the only employe of the Simplex Appliance eompany that remained at his post today. The balance of men, ear builders, blacksmiths, clerks, bosses, officials and all, went to Hudson Lake on the annual picnic. It was pretty tough on the office boy who missed the special cars that left over the South Shore at eight o'clock. And nobody realized it better than he. It is said that he grew desperate and went anyway, which was the only thing he could do under the circumstances, even though it costs eighty cents to got there and back. Out on the beach at Hudson Lake three hundred spent the day in the water, on the water, or by the water, playing every game from water ball to mumble-peg, including baseball and field sport8. The crowd had a band of its own made up of amateur and professional musicians. There was ' no limit to the fun. - TARANTULA IN FRUIT STORE For the past two weeks, tarantulas are getting to be common sights in Hammond. Last Thursday, Chas. Brahos, proprietor of a fruit store on the sorners of State and Hohman streets, in releasing a few bananas from their stem, was badly frightened when a tarantula sprang at him. He succeeded in chasing it into Hohman street. Officer Malo, who was on duty, captured It with a bag, and turned it over to the soological department of the Hammond high school. Yesterday afternoon Joseph Hirsch, a mall carrier, while delivering mail to Hendershod's grocery store, discovered a tarantula staring him In the face. He captured it and put it in a glass jar.

WEEK IN REAL ESTATE

OMML Real estate men put the past week down as a normal one. All were busy, considering that the dull season is at hand. Tub Times' story showing the remarkable development ef residence property in the south end of the town, whfre a city Is being built within a city, gave values generally a firmer tone. To the big dealers there is some interest in the suit filed in the superior court yesterday by Attorney Jesse Wilson for a partition of the White estate in the east end of town. Seventy acres of desirable factory property are located in this tract. The activity in West Hammond development can not be overestimated. The market there is decidedly bullish. As an evidence of the. era of prosperity which struck that community, the fact that the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric company has Installed five hun dred service pipes into as many homes is quite convincing. Will Hastings of the Hastings-Woods firm proved to be the live wire in this territory from a selling standpoint. CHURCH TALENT TO GIVERNAFORE Clark Learning to Star as "Dead Eye Dick" Rehearsals Under Way. . - and ao did usrles and fcla eonslna and hl aunta." The refrain by Gilbert and Sullivan. " anil mo did the rblrkrai and the broilers and the squabs.'' As murdered by Jerome and Swartz. Pinafore, the pioneer musical comedy. In which the "Queen's Nav-ie" is riddled by ridicule from the Carlisle-like pen of the English lyricist and the sa tirical tunes of his culebrated co-operator, will be sung in Hammond next month" by an "All-Star" cast, in which Clark Learning is to appear as Dead Eye Dick, or, rather, Richard of the Ex tinguished Optic. "For I Hold That on the Seas." The choir of the Calumet avenue Christian church is furnishing the tal ent and from the imposing choir loft of that edifice will be chosen the ladies of the chorus. Pillars of the church will for the evening warble the Sullivan harmonies and go through Innocent comedy of the pleasant musical thow, a model for virginity. "The Expression, If You Please." The cast as now announced has as the leading voice Miss Marguerite Haefer as Josephine, Jimmy Graves as Rackstraw, Howard Eckman as Bill Bobstay. Harry Hatfield as Captain Corcoran, CG. Ingraham as Sir Joseph Portes, Knight Commander of the Bath; Helen Ford as Little Buttercup, Mildred In graham as Hebe and Old Clark Learning as that Bupreme clown. Dead Eye Dick. "That Particularly Gentlemanly Tone Implants. A full setting of scenery, including a realistic man-of-war deck, will go with the show. Rehearsals are now on and anyone visiting the Christian church during any of three evenings a week will hear first violins, speeches, trombones, chorals and the booming voice of Dead Eye Dick. "Can I survive this overbearing. Or live a life of mad despairing. My proffered love despised, rejected." Italian Found Sick. The police received a call from Sheffield avenue and Hanover street last night, where Mike Mosevicow an Italian was found sick and in a helpless condition. He w.ls brought to the Central station where he was cared for by Dr. Young. His sicknss is thought to haTe been caused by the heat and today is getting along nicely. Last night he was held at the Central station. Chief Is Indignant. "Residents on the north side have been given the Impression that only one policeman covers that territory t night," said Chief Austgren this morning, "but instead two patrolmen have been traveling the north side beat for a long time. Some have been kicking about the poor police protection and all that, but they are not aware that the law only allows me to put on two men." Chief Austgen realizes that the north side territory is large, because the houses are scattered, but he is giving the best protection at night that he possibly can. The police head was indignant this morning when he learned that the taxpayers were not satisfied and If they can change the law, so It will allow him to put on more patrolmen, he will readily do so. Judge Prest's Court. Mrs. Fred Brehmer, caused the arrest of 12 year old Russell Docking of Sibley street yesterday afternoon en a charge of assault and battery, young Docking was shooting an air rifle at a tin can, the bullet glancing from the can and striking Mrs. Brehmer on the forehead. Young Docking was reprimanded by the court and the case was dismissed. In the neighborhood of sixty arrests will be made in Judge Prest's court next week, because of the failure of North Township citixens to pay their county dog taxes. The dog owners will be given until next week to pay their dog taxes.

BUILDING

UMABATED

Panicy feelings that come to electri fy the spines of timid speculators while they are at their rest in the deep of night are quickly dispelled at the hour of eight in the morning when the Industrial noises produced by 600 union tradesmen at work on 260 building jobs in Hammond are to be heard to the four corners of the city. Three hundred and eighty-six build ing permits totaling about $650,000 have been issued since the first of the year from the city hall. C. C. . Cole, building inspector, reports a sudden boom in the demand for permits this week since the publishing of The Times 6tory about "a city that is being built within a city" in Homewood, Conkeyviile and Kenwood. This story today Is concerning a twin city to Hammond now going up within Ham mond, from Calumet avenue on. Here are the business blocks that opened for business this week: H. P. Downey's $30,000 double store and six flat block at Calumet and Thornton. William Hurtner's $6,000 annex to his business block at the corner of State and Calumet. Frank Philip's $8,000 two story business building at Indiana and Truman Cornelius Burn's $12,000 on Calumet avenue north of the river. J. T. McGuire's business block on Calumet, $6,000. Under process of construction in East Hammond are two dozen houses and a $10,000 convent at St. Mary's Polish Catholic church. A two story brick to cost $5,000 is being built on Fields ave. by Tony Dimodale. On the north side, east of Calumet avenue the building of new houses is done by the block. Dispite the housing law and pending currency bull the building boom in Hammond continues unabated. Today the following permits were let that show as C. C. Colye, the inspector says, the limited effect of the housing law Dwellings: D. Allen. 576 Sibley St., $2,000. Chas. Buchele, 468 Bauer, $2,500. Henry Strong 460 Michigan, $1,200. Danford McQuiscton, 468 Michigan $1,200.

Summer school at the Chicago Busi ness College is well sttended now with more coming in every day. By the first of September over a hundred will be enrolled. F. M.

Rick, 98 State street, s endeavoring to enlist the services of Chief Austgen's police to quell what she terms "a hideous racket that goes on every night In the Chinese restaurant of King Hung Lo," which is directly beneath her flat. "Clas-ie women, mind own business," warns the owner. "We can't do a thing," declare the police, according to Mrs. Rick. "Every night from twelve to two o'clock ,in the morning they play the piano, sing, shout and carry on like a lot of drunks," says Mrs. Rick. Taxpayers Grateful. A vote or thanks is being extended by property owners on Oakley avenu to the city administration for the re pairing of that avenS from Douglas street to Michigan avenue, a half mile of macadam that has been preserved by the activity of John L. Kuhlman and his street respiring gang. The life of the pavement has been prolonged for a number of years they claim. The policy of Mayor John D. Smalley In regards to the repairing: of wornout streets has won friends for the administration on Michigan, Oakley and Columbia avenues as well as other streets that e Kuhlman gang have cared for. Must Sell By Pound. .everything, you buy from your grocer or market man will be sold oh the scales and not by measure after the first of the year when the Weight and Measure Daw becomes effectiv. Even pedlers wll come under the ban and Instead of a peck of potatoes you will be asking for 2.75 pounds. Will they sell milk by the pound? That remains to be seen. How about cigars? Not very likely, But just the same it wll be necessary for the marketing housewife to call for a pound of beans. Breakfast food Is not to be dispensed by the bale un der the new law, which may be re gretted. . All canned foods must have the net wait stamped in plain readable English on the outside. F. 0.

DRY GOODS RE VIEW MARSHALL FIELD & CO. Marshall Field & Co., in their weekly review of the dry goods trade, say: Distribution of merchandise in gen eral shows the midsummer falling off, but in no way to a greater degree than is usual at this time of the year. Collections' are somewhat better than nor mal. Merchants generally are taking ad vantage of the great open stock in this market. They ara ordering week to week just what they need. This means a greater turnover to them and also makes for a sounder business condi tion. Ruffling, plaiting and fluting of lace and shadow lace edging, as well as wash blondes, are having an unusually large distribution owing principally to the adoption of these materials for usa in lingerie. The demand for this kind of merchandise has so. increased that there is already a shortage In wash, blondes and prices are advancing. There is also a materially increased call for cotton lace flouncing In IT, 27 and 46-lnch widths for dreases, to be used over highly colored silks; the popularity of this novelty Is steadily growing and promisee to extend throughout the entire fall and winter season.
