The city of East Chicago has been made defendant In a peculiar personal Injury suit, the case having been filed by Attorney J. K. Stinson of Hammond for Augustine Polito, a fruit dealer, at Indiana Harbor. Polito says in his complaint that one day he was standing on Guthrie street, about two hundred feet east of Michigan avenue, when one of the ornamental electric light poles fell over and across his foot. Tho pole, he says, was Insecurely anchored. He asks for $10,000 damages. HAMMOND'S PRODUCE MARKET BUSY PLACE rconttnnsd from Para ilowed herself to skid Into place at tha curb and then went sound asleep. A Wrong Impression. "Van" sounded thfc keynote. The farmer who comes to Hammond each morning is not the tight-fisted character that city people would like to make him out. Oft the average he Is fullhearted, polite humantarian . whose disposition has remained unspoiled during the present period in which countless motor cars have wizzed by his hoss' Mollie and plastered his clothes with dust. Instead of souring he has bought an automobile himself, which Is the best way In tha world to enjoy a mild revenge. 1'IaclBK Tfee Credit. The morning market is an Innovation of 1913. Who is Its founder? The question is not correct. It should be Who are its founders" for the farm ers give credit to two. The Times and Frank O'Rourke. "The first I heard about the market said one, "was when The Times began telling us how the commission men were handing the producer and the consumer the short ends. Then Mr. O'Rourke came out and preached city .market and this exchange L business The peopl out our way swear by Ths Times and believe wha; Mr. O'Rourke tells them, so between i.h two we got .III.JL m Z 0: 0 PER MONTH hortee, wagons, etc., without removal. $25 Costs You $4.10 For Three Months, That's AU.

MONEY

started in the right direction. Time Created Imd. "Of course we knew that we would get better prices In Hammond than Chicago long ago but The Times created the demand by firing away on one line till everybody got Interested." Eliminating the middle man is not a hard problem, it seems to a visitor at the morning exchange. Why should we have a share In the profit of those who produce and those who distribute? is th natural question. Transportation to and from Chicago Is saved and the produce given to the consummer, fresh and unspoiled. Though there remains a commission business with Chicago It is being fast dissembled. Is there a commission msin in all Chicago who would feel the lightest concern about the desire of Hammond housewives to can tomatoes? Hardly. Therefore Hammond owes the. farmers of Lake County and Vander Molen

among them, a hearty rising vote of thanks. GULLIVER 18 BACK FRd HIS TRAVELS Hammond Lawyer Sees Many Strange Sights in Strange Lands. Surrounded by senators, paces. hurdy-gurdy girls, peanut vendors, congressmen, a talkative brown suit and passionate haberdashery. Attor ney E. G. Sproat of Hammond stood at A corner of Pennsylvania avenue In Washington, In the District of Colum bia. "Officer," raid he. 'tell a cop to call a lady policeman that I may behold the sex, feared, uniformed, respected and helmeted, armed and tramping a beat." "Grt-a-Io t-oo-Von." In a moment his prayer was answered. "You can't stand on the curb," said ahe, striding by. Like the Prince of India the exudge was content. He had seen the world and all its dlvertlsements. Weary of long travel he returned to Hammond and tonight before the Eagles, who he represented at the natonai convention in Baltimore he will tell what he saw. Emblazoned on his mind Is the pic ture of Washington's women police. the last word in 20th century fads and fashions. Back of that are crowded a rtorde of sights and experiences, all gathered in a twenty-five day trip through the East. 1 Day of BUc Wind. At Washington Attorney gproat at tended a !ball game which was never played. A terrifio hurricane decended bringing havoc in its wake. He was spitted on the head with hall stones as large as walnuts and compelled to wade through water almost waist deep. The rain fall broke all rec ords. The wind tore from the ground a three story flat, killing two of the occupants. Convention a Snm, At Baltimore he attended sessions of the Eagles' convention which lasted from ten In the mornine till ten at night without intermission. And they were so Interesting that Sproat never left his seat. Over 300 delegates were present. At Washington he attended a ses sion of the house In which the resolutions to Impeach McReynolds, the Californtan, was Introduced. He heard the heated debates that followed. WAS IT A LOVE FEAST? Now that the democratic prlmariei are over everything is harmony NOT Some of the leading democrats main ly precinct committeemen and candi dates enjoyed something In the na ture of a love feast at Phil Smtdt's place In Roby. Smldt Is the fourth ward bonlface who was nominated for councilman without opposition. He served an excellent fish, dinner, but there was an empty seat, several of them In fact. In which among others Dr. Howat one of the defeated mayor alty candidates was conspicuous by his absence. The doctor Is said to have made his excuses to John A. Gavlt by whom the invitation was extended, and to have pleaded a previous engagement, while another report is that he refused to sit down and break bread with certain other democrats who were to be guests. Judge McMahon was also absent but his illness would readily be accepted as an excuse. Nlc Dauer who is a defeated candidate for city clerk was also absent although an invitation Is said to have been extend ed to him. John Kane was also absent The guefts were taken to the fish dinner resort In automobiles and about forty enjoyed the evening. In the ta ble conversation the topic of politics was avoided. Dr. Howat when asked today why he was absent last night said to a Times reporter that he was unable to accept the invitation owing to a pre vlous engagement for last night, and denied having refused it on general principles because of his recent de feat. 'So far as my presence or absence at the feast is concerned," added the doctor, "that Is of no consequence now, as I am supposed to be politically dead." " MEYERS IS STILL AFTER F.J. L. MEYER A circular intended to destroy the ' good name of F. J. Lewis Meyer, gen eral attorney for the South Shore raolroad, has been sent to one lawyer in Hammond and no ctaubt to many others. It has on It the printed signature

of John W. Talbot. It consists of evidence submitted In a trial for slander which Meyers brought against F. J. L. Meyer and which is detrimental. It is claimed that the testimony incorporated in the circular was given by Talbot witnesses. Nevertheless the latter lost his case and Meyer received a one-cent Judgment. The piece of literature can b traced back to the trial and the trial back to Talbot's wholesale persecution of Meyer. The circulat received by the Hammond attorney is headed "The Truth About F. J. Meyer." Nothing is printed that la not a matter of court record. ,

DOCTOR GIVES HOPE T0C1DLMTHERS Declares Vital Organs Can Be Transplanted to Make Mothers. London, Aug. 13. Hope for childless women was held out in a remarkable statement by Dr. Veronoft of Nice before the International Medical Con gress yesterday. He said that In his experiments of transplanting vital organs of one animal to another he had enabled a barren ewe to give birth to a lamb. N "I hold," he asserted, "that my ex periments can be applied to human beings Indeed, it's easier to graft certain parts with human beings than with animals. The only thing necessary is affinity of the blood of the two persons of the same race or better still, of one family. "A new era is dawning In surgery. Our Internal organs can be taken away and graf tfd within six hours successfully. This means that we shall prolong life; that we shall give means of life and reproduction where none exists." Death of Mrs. Rice. Residents were shocked yesterday to learn the sad news of the death of Mrs. Harvey E.
