PROMOTERS DEFINE NEW PART! PLAN

Fifty membership petitions are being placed in business houses, offices and public places about Hammond with men In sympathy with the Greater Hammond Party movement and by the end of the week the crystalization of sentiment, for or against, will give the movement a concrete foundation or i shatter it completely. There seems little danger that it will pass out of existence as enough men are now affiliated with it to assure a fair support said one. "The trouble Is that no one wants to come out and declare themselves for fear that the impression will go out that a set or crowd of men are ' behind It." It Is predicted that many citizens intend to come out in a- bunch, signing the petitions after a start has been made. They are to do this that the gossip that Inevitably gts into circulation with the formation of a fusion, citizens or non-partsan ticket, can be allayed. "There is no one class of men behind "it," said one. "None of us have any axe to grind. We consider it for the best interests of the city at large and ourselves to have an administration that will not delay the game, that will be strictly business, and will aid in making the city a "Greater Hammond'." CITY GOES AHEAD THE SEWER Peter Lyons, city engineer, has six sets of plana- and,epeelftcationi?en the ptoposed deep sewer system, all of which are in demand by inquirers at the city , hall and contractors who desire to bid. In order to receive a 'set of plans It .is necessary that a firm send a certified check for $25 to Ly ons. It will be returned ' when the plans come back. "We are going right ahead with the deep sewer." said Mr. Lyons. As it is the engineer's pet plan which he has worked years to see perfected and put lnt ooperatlon, he is happy now that It going through. T:ie foreshadows of lection and the uncertainty that is pparent does not f faze Mr. Lyons. ARRANGE FOR PICNIC.

about opening our home to an unfortunate young woman, and that is that anyone should consider it remarkable. This fact- Is significant. Persecution of these unfortunate g Iris is. the rule, and so common that It attracts no attention. Kindness is so evceptlonal that It provokes widespread comment. Every scarlet woman in the daylight is a living certificate of the Christian church's denial of Jesus Christ. He did BANKRUPTCY CASES HEARD Harry C. Sheridan of Frankfort, referee in bankruptcy, sat In Hammond today, toJiear&nJiruptcyT matters.

not acorn and banish the erring sister. He loved and pitied her, gave her new life anS new hope and rebuked without mercy -the pious, heartless hypocrites, guilty of her persecution. The Red Light district Is a challenge to the Christian church. What Christ would do is proved by what He did when on earth, and for which extortioners and hypocrites, conspired to have Him ignomlniously crucified aa a felon. The church of today Is no less full of hypocrisy and false pretense. It does not rebuke rich hypocrites and pour, out its love to poor sinners as the Christ did whom It falsely professes to follow. The sinful woman Is. as a rule, not a wicked woman, but a sick and suffering woman. Instead of being persecuted, mal-treated, preyed upon, and driven to destruction, she needs care and kindness, sympathy and love, and that Is what. Christ gave her in the fullest measure and what the church cruelly denies her, as It did in His day.

Ktna-flna-flna sang Lee Chung the proprietor, expressing his sentiments in a monotone Oriental chant.' "??:.,?.::?'" thought the tenants above in 'the flats of the Henry Huber building, for the sight of their mutual enemy reaping a harvest of shekels was far from soothing to injured pride. Mrs. Frank O. Rick smiled confidently though and predicted that Lee Chung would come to grief and that the pride j which is his because of initial victories and a greatly increased patronage is to be short lived. Tomorrow morning he will face Justice Ames - charged with committing a nuisance. If he is con victed" the playing of the electric piano in his place of business may be stop ped. It is equally possible that he may secure the conviction of Rick for "pro voke' "arid turn . 'the tide.' If so mopping will be a more, frequent occurrance in the hall above his cafe and mayors and ministers alikt rained upon. Last n-lghts business boomed at Chung's lace. Everybody went there to dine and while they ate to read of the wrangle. . .in . which Mrs. Rick and Chung are engaged. While he was planting the dollars away and meditating, on .the power of the press Chung become softened toward his neighbors. He was almost complimentary to Mrs. Rick. LAKE CO.

Musical Ward was the hit of the show with his eccentric musical act, which was a laugh from start to finish. The Keough Sisters are as neat and lively a "sister team as has -been seen in. a long time, and the universal verdict was that It's too much for 5 cents.

Joseph Couldn't Enlist A boisterous conversation attracted quite a crowd near the four corners about 11 a. m. and Of five Malo was forced to interfere. Joseph Saley, a 17-yea-oM lad, had aspirations for Uncle Sam's service, and learning that an army recruiting station had been opened in the Lake County Savings and Trust building, thought this would be his opportunity to enlist. He therefore persuaded his father to accompany Mm to the office. The mother knew nothing of this. Sergeant Quinlan was conversing with his proposed recruit when the mother suddenly appeared and opposed the youngster's enlistment, saying that she had lost one son by death and that she did not wish to lose the remaining son. After a long harangue the boy consented to return mother. home with his OLD LAKE WAS ON A RAMPAGE Lake Michigan . went on . a rampage yesterday, a sort of summer frolic in which she rolled white caps onto the beach and roared like a hungry lioness ! with peevish cubs. A cold wind from off the lake kept the crowd at Lake Front Park small and the bathers few. Those who did go in the water found it to be the same temperature as the air. They had a comfortable time letting high waves sweep over them. It was Atlantic City minus the salt. The steamer "Florence" that plys the white caps of the Lake and is the only vessel to dock at the park is carrying pleasure sekers on fifteen minute, fivemile, excusloris every day now. She is captained by Harry Tanner and belongs to the South Chicago Launch company. The excursions will continue all summer. EVANS NEW BOARD MEMBER (Special to The Times.) Whiting, Ind.. July 22.

Mr. Bryan looked in vain for a porjter to take charge of two heavy suitcases. Finally two reporters took them in hand. j "Boys," he said, "let's hunt up some 'place where we can get some canta- , loupes." j The eyes of the chief diplomat of the scouatry then rested on an electric sign i that heralded the presence of a lunch- ' room of the type known to patrons as a "one-arm Joint."
