LIFE HAS BOUGHT The Times on Tuesday, August 5, reported the sale of the controlling Interest in the Northern States Life Insurance company of Hammond,, Ind., to the 'Western Life Indemnity Insurance company of Chicago. This report is correct only in that certain Chicago men have purchased the majority stock of the Northern Htates Life, which stock heretofore was held by a syndicate composed of Hammond men. The statement that the Western Life Indemnity Insurance company had taken over the Northern States Life through purchase of this majority stock, is absolutely incorrect and without any foundation The Western Life Indemnity, with headquarters in Chlcagro, has not bougrht, nor has it tried to buy. any Interest whatever in the Northern States Life which la a legal reserve, "Old Line" insurance company. The facts In the case are that Mr. J. L. Mitchell, Agency Director, (not president) of the Western Life Indemnity company, acting for certain fi WORK ON THEATRE STARTS THIS WEEK The Finest Photo Plays to Be Secured to Be Shown at Theater.

Will lie Late. September first was set as the date for the first show but it is hardly possible that work will progress that fast. Repairs and alternations are to cost in the neighborhood of $15,000 unless the plans have been changed. In the billboard announcement It is stated that the pipe organ will cost $12,500 but that may be a pantographical error for Manager Maurice Hanklnson stated some time ago that the price would be $8,000. It makes little difference though. The organ will be a great Instrument at either figure and the show worthy of patronage. '"' ' "'' !

THAT WESTERN I

HAMMOND CO. nancial interests of Chicago and not at all as a representative of the Western Life Indemnity,, and Mr. T. F. Ruhland, Secretary and General Manager of the Northern States Life Insurance comany, representing the syndicate of Hammond men then holding the majority stock in the Northern States Life, negotiated the sale of the stock. It is doubtful that General Moulton, President of the Western Life Indemnity company, or any of its other officers even knew anything about Mr. Mitchell's activity in the whole transaction. The present owners of the controlling interest in the Northern States Life are men who enjoy the reputation of being men who do things and do them well. They know that they can develop the Northern States Life Insurance company and make out of it one of the largest and strongest Indiana Life Insurance companies. An aggressive campaign for rapid, but at the same time, safe growth has already been inaugurated, and plans for proper expansion are under way. August 14. One is for the Improve ment of 153rd Flace, water, sewer and pavement, another the improvement of 167th. street in the same way and the paving of 156th. Place and the exten sion of Wentworth avenue west to two blocks to the Country Club and the I paving of the same. ! Are After rren Line. At the same time new resoluticns for the paving of Sibley and State Line streets will be made. In the clrcut courts it was ruled that the Illinois street car company (a part of the Green Line) must fullfill its franchise to pave a strip eight foot wide the length of Sibley street. Unless they do so West Hammond will have the franclhse declared invalid and oust the Green Line. Charles Friederichs, the Hammond real estate and insurance man is in terested in the improving of these streets near the club house as he is an extensive property owner thereabouts and has opened a district in which handsome homes will be bullded. The Stroller And What He Found in the Ginger Jar One of the fraternity, the cub reporter's friend, is on the desk at the Hotel Mee. Porter Johnson of New York and flsewhere-eyery. place Is elsewhere to a New Yorker) is night clerk and hotel reporters on the trail of distinguished guests need only make known their business and Mr. Johnson will accommodate. This In Jurrt a Penmnal. "Now don't inflate this," warned that obliging person when he modestly told a portion of his past at the request of a cub. "I know how you fellows appreciate hotel news, but my arrival ! here isn't worth more than a mention. Just my name, you know, and I'll thank you very much. No story." What Can't Be Mentioned. Placed thus under obligations it will be impossible to tell how this new night clerk prefers the west to the east, thinks traveling men are the best of fellows, show people too exacting. and tourists an odd class. Nor would It be permissible to mention that he has traveled extensively over our little republic from the border of the bull fighting-greaser district to each of the Portlands, and that for breakfast he would like to reach into Colorado for his glass of spring water, into Louisi ana for flapjacks, California for grape fruit. Maine for Jersey milk, Kansas for cereal, and Florida for a bit of fruit. That is Mr. Johnson's idea' of a tasty breakfast. Aa For Embryo Kenapaper Men. uut it is entirely right that his po sition in regard to the species reporter should be presented. When they are friendly, truthful, considerate and gen teel he is their friend. Otherwise not. "There are no two alike," said he philosophically, "and all have different ideas and various way, but there is GARY INDIANA Vendig's Tailor Shop

one thing that all do they work like the very dickens. But then every one else does now days, so that isn't any distinction. In aV hotel tourists, commercial travelers, player folk and all look about alike. They eat, drink and sleep and kick when the eating is not good, the sleeping poor and the drinking too strong for their constitution. Here It Ik Sidetracked. "I don't believe," he said, slipping in a little boost for the Hotel Mee, "that there is a better hotel with nicer rooms and service 'in the state than here." That kills the interview before it has fairly begun by putting it in the paid advertisement class, and so in order to get the balance of It tho advertising man will have to go over and talk it over with Mr. Johnson. It makes it embarrassing, for this story goes nowhere at all. It didn't even tell what the new hotel clerk thinks of cub reporters, and that might be interesting.

WILL HAVE FINE ENTRANCE Addison C. Berry & Company have prepared plans and specifications for a marquise, marble and mosaic entrance to the Lion Store at Sibley and Hoh man streets. The cost is estimated at $4,500. The apex of the corner will be converted Into a fine show window with entrances on both sides. Death of Old Lady. Mrs. Laura A. Bedlent, 85 years old, mother of S. N.

Mrs. Bedient has been a resident of Hessville for nearly three years and resided with her son, S. N. Messenger who is employed' on the Indiana and Southern. The deceased home was formerly at Laporte. Taken to Asylum. Charles G. Merrill, a 20 year old Hammond boy who was recently reeased from the Logansport asylum where he underwent a brief treatment. was taken back to the institution this morning by Chief Austgen. He was picked up by Officer Kunz at State and Oakley last night, where he was rau ng considerable disturbance. While Merrill's condition is not dangerous and is harmless, he Is half-witted and was considered a nuisance. . Engineers Register Here.

The sister was 80 years of age and her death followed develop ments resulting from rheumatism. Who Stole the Change? Are you a detective? George Robbins, 97 Manilla avenue, is looking for one who can find out who ransacked his garage and emptied his gas meter the night before last. He states that there has been an epidemic of gas mter robberies in Conkeyville, where he lives. Robbins lost automobile appliances worth no small sum. Attend Ravina Concerts.

A pair of itinerant Italian musicians were in- the city last night furnishing melodies on a pass-the-hat rate n the lobby of the Hotel Majestic and other business places. They reaped a har vest in the hotel, managing to pass the hat five times an hour. In the cafe every one was liberal and the to tal donations were a good day's wages earned in an hour. The players are the Fiatoras Brothers of Chicago. One was a harpist and the other a fiddler and both were excellent. They mixed ragtime and th classics indiscriminately. Janitor an Architect. Janitor Stonebreaker of the Central school building is either too good an architect to be a Janitor or vice versa. He has at present the Important job of arranging the old Lincoln-Jefferson law building for the use of high school students this fall. This work he is rapidly completing. Back from Trip. After an absence of a week, during which time they spent camping and fishing on Black river in Michigan, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Lederer returned to Hammond this morning, having spent an enjoyable time. When Dave got down to the haberdashery this morning he laid claim to being the champion nimrod of Hammond upon displaying a 4 pound bass and two large pickerel. "I did not buy them." said Dave when his friends accused him of paying a ten spot for the string. ARB YOU A TIMES READER!
